Lightning Storm 2 Nature shows itself in many ways.One of the most impressive(令人印象深刻的)forms is a kind of storm known as a hurricane,typhoon or tropical cyclone.These powerful weather events form over water.They are known as hurricanes in the central and eastern North Pacific and the North Atlantic Oceans,typhoons in the Northwest Pacific Ocean and tropical cyclones in the South Pacific and the Indian Ocean.The spinning(旋转的)round storms can become powerful,spreading over 900 kilometers across.The winds inside the storms can reach speeds of more than 320 kilometers per hour.The storms also may reach a height of up to 15 kilometers.They spin around a center called the“eye”,which is a calm area with low wind speed.When these storms reach the shore,they are sometimes strong enough to tear trees out of the ground.Heavy rains and large waves often cause flooding and great damage to buildings.A new study shows that,during the last 70 years,the speed at which these storms move across water and land has been gradually slowing down.As a result,they have been putting more and more rain on land.This has caused increased flooding and loss of life.In August 2017,Hurricane Harvey moved so slowly across the U.S.state of Texas that it was able to put more than 30 inches of rain,leading to great damage.According to scientists,the reason for these slower-moving storms is atmospheric(大气的)warming.Over the years,the Earths atmosphere has been slowly warming up.This has caused air circulation(循环)in the Earths atmosphere to weaken.As a result,the winds that push tropical storms along have gotten weaker,so the storms slowed down.5.Which of the following statements is TRUE according the passage?A.Typhoons develop in the central and eastern Pacific.B.Slow moving storms put less rain on land.C.The speed of storms is affected by atmospheric warming.D.The eye of a storm is an area with high wind speed.6.What did the study mentioned in Paragraph 3 discover?A.A trend

hurt.Altogether over two hundred people were homeless after the storm.A farmer,Mr.Tan,said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour.I was eating with my wife and children,he said,When we heard a loud noise.A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us.We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing.I went back inside and found him,safe but very frightened.Mrs.Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving.She ran outside at once with her children.There was no time
