When the sand began kicking up and hitting our faces, I started to worry that maybe we had made a mistake.

That afternoon, my dad had stood on the deck (露台) of our home and laughed as our neighbors packed up their cars and headed inland. They left to spend the night in motels or at friends’ homes that were out of range of approaching summer storm.

Challenging the weather that threatened to damping our spirits, we lit a fire on the beach. Dad told jokes and we had a good time. When it was 6:30 p.m., all laughter disappeared. Our eyes were drawn to the sky. A tornado (龙卷风) was headed straight for us! In a flash, we were all on our feet. The wind started screaming and now we were running to the cottage. My mom stopped next to the front door. “Where can we go?” She shouted at my dad.

Most cottages on this part of Lake Michigan had been built without basements. Ours was no exception. The huge windows and the cottage itself wouldn’t offer safety from high wind.

“Follow me!” my dad yelled. We crawled (爬) beneath the deck, pressing ourselves against the foundation of the cottage. Between the deck supports, we watched the approaching storm in silent terror.

My dad shouted, “Hold on!” and something else I couldn’t hear over the screaming wind. I think he was praying. By the time it reached our cottage, it was nothing more than a strong wind. The rest of the storm lasted for an hour and then simply blew away.

“Next time, we’ll stay inland at Grandma’s. Okay?” my dad said.

1.What did the family do before the storm came?

A.They left the motels. B.They packed up the cars.

C.They stayed on the beach. D.They visited their neighbors.

2.What was the family’s immediate action when they saw the tornado approach?

A.Closing their eyes tightly. B.Praying in silent terror.

C.Crawling on the ground. D.Running away at once.

3.Where did the family stay in the storm?

A.Under a deck. B.In a basement.

C.Inside the car. D.Behind a door.

4.What can be the best title for the text?

A.Life on the beach B.An Unusual Cottage

C.Surviving a Storm D.My Admirable Family

Britain is set to face an increase in cold winters, with up to one-in-seven hitting the UK with longer periods of time when temperatures are below freezing, a study has suggested．The prediction was based on research that found out how low solar activity affected winter weather patterns．

However, the researchers were eager to stress that their findings did not suggest that the region was about to fall suddenly into a "little ice age"．The findings appear in the journal Environmental Research Letters．"We could get to the point where one-in-seven winters are very cold, as we had at the start of last winter and all through the winter before last," said co-author Mike Lockwood, professor of space environment physics at the University of Reading．

Using the Central England Temperature （CET） record, the world's longest instrumental data series that dates back to 1659, the team said that in general temperatures during recent winters had been obviously lower than the longer-term temperatures．"The mean CET for December, January and February for the recent relatively cold winters of 2008 ~ 2009 and 2009~2010 were 3．50℃ and 2．53℃ respectively," they wrote． "However, the mean value for the previous 20 winters had been 5．04℃．The series of lower winter temperatures in the UK during the last three years had raised questions about the probability of more similar, or even colder, winters occurring in the future．"

Last year．Professor Lockwood and colleagues published a paper that found a link between fewer sunspots and atmospheric conditions that "blocked" warm westerly winds reaching Europe during winter months, opening the way for cold easterly winds from the Arctic and Russia to sweep across the region．Professor Lockwood, while acknowledging that there were a range of possible meteorological factors （气象因素） that could influence blocking events, said the latest study moved things forward by showing that there was "improvement in the predictive skill" when solar activity was taken into consideration．

1.We can know from the second paragraph that _____．

A．research shows that Britain will soon fall into an ice age

B．Mike Lockwood's research focuses on space environment physics

C．it was quite cold in Britain over the entire winter last year

D．so far one-in-seven winters have been very cold in Britain

2.The．underlined word "mean" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to "_____"．

A．average              B．stable           C．ungenerous       D．changeable

3.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．It was sunspots that blocked warm westerly winds reaching Europe．

B．Meteorological factors hardly have any influence on blocking events．

C．The latest study done by Professor Lockwood was of little practical value．

D．Considering solar activity or not affects the accuracy of weather forecasting．

4.What's the best title of the passage?

A．Another big danger approaching the UK

B．Research finds out solar activity is to blame for the cold

C．UK faces more cold winters due to weaker solar activity

D．Changes in weather patterns should be responsible for low solar activity
