There is an old phrase “calm before the storm”， often used in a situationa quiet period just before a great activity or excit

12、ement. According to our own experience, we know there is actually calm before the storm. But what causes this calm? And is it always calm before the storm? Lets hear what scientists have to say.A period of calm happens in a particular kind of storm, the simplest kind of storma singlecell thunderstor

13、m. In this type of thunderstorm, there is usually only one main updraft, which is warm, damp air and drawn from places near the ground. Storms need warm and damp air as fuel, so they typically draw that air in from surrounding environment. Storms can draw in the air that fit their need from all dire

14、ctionseven from the direction in which the storm is traveling.As the warm, damp air is pulled into a storm system, it leaves a lowpressure vacuum(真空) coming after. The rising air meets the cold dry air that has already existed in the storm clouds, thus the temperature of the warm, damp air drops, an

15、d the water vapour(水蒸汽) in it changes into tiny drops that are a precondition of rain. These drops accumulate and build on larger particles like dust, until they grow large enough to form raindrops.This warm, damp air keeps moving upwards, but it becomes cooler and drier during its trip through clou

16、d. When it reaches the top of the cloud, the air gets spit out(被擠出) at the top. This air is sent rolling out over the big thunderclouds. From there, the air goes down. Warm and dry air is relatively stable, and once it covers a region, that air, in turn, causes the calm before a storm.Most thunderst

17、orms, though, dont start with calm. Thats because most are actually groups of storms with complex wind patterns. Theres so much air moving up and down storm groups that the calm before the storm never happens. Instead, before the storm, it might be really windy!1、Which best fits the description of a

18、 particular kind of storm?AA storm with air drawn from every direction.BA thunderstorm without strong winds.CA thunderstorm with a single shape.DA storm fueled by moving air from the ground.2、What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?ACold and dry air.BWarm and damp air.CCold and da

19、mp air.DWarm and dry air.3、Which does the writer most likely agree to?APresence of the calm relies on stable air.BStorm happens without air moving up and down.CThe drier the air is, the bigger the storm will be.DNot all thunderstorms start with the calm.4、What is the passage mainly about?ACauses and

20、 effects of a heavy storm.BAn explanation of the calm before a storm.CA personal experience of a heavy storm.DA brief description of a peaceful storm.22（8分）Growing ups I always envied my friends who lived in one town in their whole lives. Coming from a military family makes this impossible. My broth

21、ers and I soon found that if we didnt like a place we lived in, wed soon be moving to a new place.

22、I had done together with parents seemed to help me find my position at a new school. Despite the hot weather in San Antonio, Texas, I had to take outdoor activities.

23、 These are the things I remember about my childhood.

24、hat I wore, who I talked to and how skinny I was. I felt like Id never done anything wrong to deserve such criticism. It was not until last year that I realized that I had to stay different from them and live my life according to my principles. I decided to be my own person. I never thought that bei

25、ng nice could cause me to be disliked. Anyway, I began hanging out with girls who had a lot in common with me like preferring outdoor sports. They were accepting and non-judgmental.

To train the workforce of the future, companies around the world are wildly developing computing langua

29、ges to introduce children to the appealing world of programming both in and out of school.The only drawback is that to learn or observe the results of their programming efforts, children have to be able to see.

30、 exciting trend. To change that, researchers at Microsofts Cambridge, UK Lab have developed a new physical programming language that can be learned by all children.Project Torino allows visually damaged kids aged 7 to 11 to create code (編碼) that plays music, stories, or poetry by connecting physical

31、 pods (檢測裝置) together. Once done, an accompanying app changes the physical code into digital code.

Most importantly, it provides instant feedback, enab

32、ling educators to assess students progress and provide assistance as needed.The Microsoft team is currently developing the system further. Among the changes is adding color to the previously all-white pods because it helps children with limited vision to learn better. The size of the pods is also be

37、ny and I left them with a friend while we made a rare trip to the cinema in Liverpool.It was dark and pouring with rain but with the headlights shining on the road, we saw something ahead of us.
