语篇提能 Ⅰ.阅读理解 (2014·淄博高一检测) Can you survive an unannounced storm? Although there is expert broadcasting and we are equipped with cell phones, therere still some instances when the violent weather takes us by surprise. While most Atlantic hurricanes form off the coast of Africa giving plenty of early warning, sudden Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico hurricanes form and move rapidly in less than a days time, endangering everyone and everything in their path. Thereve been oil workers trapped off the shore when sudden storms appeared. Field archeologists have been stuck in coastal areas without storm warning. It wasnt but a few decades ago that a Texas National Guard group was trapped on the beach by rain－forced flooding and had to ride out a major hurricane during a training exercise. Thereve been a few instances when travelers were trapped on an island or in a coastal area and unable to escape in time. Escaping from the storm－threatened areas is generally a choice for most of us — but not for all. Each year thousands of islanders across the Caribbean face the danger of hurricanes without so much as a public shelter to hide in. Most ride out the storm in their homes.
