54、prisingly,they can be seen for almost 250 miles.Fishermen and sailors often use them to guide them across the waters during dark nights.Whats even more surprising is that the lightning has been happening above the same spot where the Catatumbo River meets Lake Maracaibo for thousands of years.The be
55、st part is that the show is different every night.Thats because the colour of the lightning changes,depending on the amount of water in the atmosphere.On dry nights,the lightning appears white.When the air is not dry,it helps split up the bright light into red,orange and even purple.Strangely enough
56、,though this has been going on for centuries,scientists have still not been able to figure out the cause of this phenomenon.Some say that the storms are a result of the interaction of the areas unusual topography (地貌),wind and heat.Others,however,believe that the storms are caused by a kind of gas i

61、storms there.B.Locals know about the lightning storms better than scientists.C.Heat in Northwestern Venezuela is different from any other place.D.The reason why such lightning storms happen there is still unknown.答案D解析细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Strangelyenough,thoughthishasbeengoingonforcenturies,scientistshave
