The violence of nature What is a tornado? A tornado is a rotating (旋转的) column of air from a thunderstorm to the ground. The most violent have winds of more than 400 kilometres per hour. Almost all of them occur in the US，in the area from Texas in the southeast to South Dakota in the north. Tornadoes can pick up cars, trains and even houses and put them down in the next street，or even in the next town. They can take the fur off the back of a cat and the feathers off a chicken. They can destroy houses, but leave the furniture inside exactly where it was. ①On average, there are 800 tornadoes in the US each year，causing about 80 deaths and over 1,500 injuries. The worst tornado of all time occurred in 1925, affecting three US states: Missouri，Illinois and Indiana. ②By the time it ended, about 700 people had been killed and more than 2,000 had been injured. 佳句仿写 1．公共汽车被风雾所阻，因而耽搁了。(仿①句) The bus was held up by the snowstorm, ___________________________. 2．到去年年底他们已建造了三艘船。(仿②句) By last December three ships ____________________________. 返回导航 Unit 5　The power of nature 英 语 选 修 ⑥ · 人 教 版 英 语 选修⑥ · 人教版 新课标导学 Unit 5　The power of nature 1 学习目标展示 2 背景知识链接 学习目标展示 burn to the ground　make ones way　glance through　vary from...to... diagram volcano erupt eruption ash hurricane questionnaire alongside equipment appoint database evaluate wave fountain absolute absolutely suit helmet boot potential actual candidate bungalow typhoon thunderstorm precious novelist fog document rainbow uncomfortable balcony unconscious shoot shot tremble sweat anxious anxiety panic diverse bathe appreciation guarantee 词汇 Volcanoes; crater lakes; cyclones; floods 话题 课程标准要求掌握的项目 类别 复习－ing形式 (Revise the －ing form) I was appointed as a volcanologist working for the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory twenty years ago.My job is collecting information for a database about Mount Kilauea，… Having worked hard all day, I went to bed early.
