When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly ad possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk(冒…危险)being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.
“Storm chasing(追逐)” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby(喜好), especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.
Although anyone can do it , storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season.
Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement . “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”
However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature, It is the greatest show on Earth.”

(答案→)56---59 DBCA 解析:56.解析:这是一道细节推断题。根据第二段最后一句“A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the last weather reports”可以推断出storm chaser做的第一件事是搜集天气信息。57.解析:这是一道细节推断题。根据“storm chasing is extremely dangerous”和“If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season.”可知追逐风暴十分危险,初学者最后加入团队一起行动。58.解析:这是一道推理题。It is all worth it.的意思是一切都十分值得,虽然可能要等待很长时间,但是“it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life”所以付出得到了回报。59.解析:这是一道细节推断题。根据第三段最后一句“Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers”可以推断出有时风暴并不会来临,所以选A。其他三项在短文中都没有提到。
