Unit 1 Women of achievement一、阅读理解。(2018江西重点中学协作体联考)A massive winter storm is expected to begin hitting Massachusetts tonight, dumping up to a foot or more of snow in some areas, while whipping the coast with powerful winds and driving rains, forecasters predict.“Its got a little bit of everything，” William Babcock, a meteorologist(气象学家) at the National Weather Service in Taunton, said of the postChristmas storm that brought snowstorm conditions to the Ohio Valley before heading east with its mixed bag of snow, sleet, and rain.State Highway Administrator Frank De Paola said more than 4，000 states and snowplows(扫雪车) and salt spreaders were ready to make the roads safer for holiday travelers. “MassDOT will be fully staffed and will be ready to handle this，” De Paola said, nothing that the storm, which should bring snow to most of the state except the Cape and Island before turning into rain tomorrow, is Massachusetts first significant snowstorm of this winter season.“There have been events where we have had pretty much freezing, icing concerns, which we have treated with chemicals. But this is the first big event that will call for plowing(清街上的雪)，” he said.A high wind watch has been issued for southeastern Massachusetts, including Cape Cod. Forecasters say the wind could reach 60 mph, possibly bringing down power lines. In Worcester, some were busy for severe weather by buying rock salt, shovels and windshield wash, Barrows Hardware president Brain Barrow said. He called the volume(总量) of customers at his Webster Street store very steady on Wednesday morning. “You do get that supermarket effect for sure，” he said of shoppers stocking supplies before a storm.There were no flight delays or cancellations at Logan International Airport in Boston as of day. “Right now, everythings running normally，” airport spokesman Richard Walsh said. But Walsh said as the day progressed, travelers should contact their airlines directly to check the status of their flights.【解题导语】一场大的暴风雪即将席卷马萨诸塞州，但无论是气象学家、路政人员、普通市民还是超市等都对此次恶劣天气作好了各方面的准备和应对工作。1According to William Babcock, we can know that _ Asnow, sleet, and rain occurred after Christmas Bnothing has been done to prepare for the winter stormC400 snowplows were ready for the snowDthe snowstorm came from the Ohio snowA解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的.postChristmas storm that brought snowstorm conditions to the. bag of snow, sleet, and rain.可知，圣诞节以后出现了夹杂着大雪、冻雨和雨水的暴风雪天气，故选A。2We can conclude from Paragraph 5 that _ Athis winter season is filled with great significanceBMassachusetts seldom sees snow all year roundCthere are some poisonous chemicals in the snow Dthe icy roads have inconvenienced peopleD解析：推理判断题。根据文章第五段可知，以往的冰冻天气只需要化学方法就可以除冰，但是这一次需要清除街上的雪。因此可以推断这次的暴风雪天气的确给人们带来了很多不便。3Some people bought supplies _ .
