64、re the air inside the low is moving more slowly than in the surrounding area. Air flows around a high- or low-pressure system in much the same way as water swirls(旋涡) around a hole. In the Northern Hemisphere, air that moves into a high-pressure system flows outward in a clock wise pattern. Air flow
65、ing upward in a region of low pressure moves counterclockwise. 37Air is more thick in a region of high pressure, so the air pushes out toward less dense regions. The air mass begins to warm as it goes down, which blocks the formation of clouds. The presence of clouds indicates that rain may be prese
66、nt in the air. 38 In a region of low pressure, the air rises. As it does, the air mass cools and clouds form from the humidity(湿气) inside the air mass. 39 Once the droplets are heavy enough, they fall to the ground. When temperatures are warm, rain is the result. If temperatures are low, the result
67、is snow. When water droplets fall through relatively warmer or colder air masses on the journey to Earth, the low-pressure system may bring snow or ice. Rain associated with low-pressure systems holds true in much of the Northern Hemisphere. 40 So in tropical areas, rain association with highs or lo
68、ws is less predictable. A. This movement creates air pressure. B. So we can predict rain from the clouds. C. But the air pressure changes little in tropical climates. D. The higher the air pressure is, the faster the winds blow in and outwards. E. Humidity in the rising air of a low-pressure system
69、becomes water droplets. F. This results in winds around or near the high- and low-pressure boundaries. G. High-pressure systems have light or no clouds, indicating fair weather without rain. 【文章大意】这是一篇说明文, 介绍了气压与大气的关系。36. 【解析】选A。A选项中的This movement 复指上句中的Atoms. . . the air move constantly, 因此, 这两句描述的
70、是一致的内容。故选A。37. 【解析】选F。此句是对本段的总结和归纳, 本段主要介绍了空气在高、低气压之间流动时形成水流一般的漩涡, 这就导致了风在高、低气压周围的形成。38. 【解析】选G。根据下句可知, 此处与下句形成对比, 分别讲述高气压和低气压形成不同的天气。下句是有关低气压形成云雨天气, 那么此处空格应该是高气压形成晴天。故选G。39. 【解析】选E。根据下句中“the droplets are heavy enough”可知下句是紧接着E选项内容而展开的。两句语义顺承, 衔接合理。故选E。40. 【解析】选C。上句讲述北半球气压变化大, 形成雨天和晴天。而下句中“So in tro
71、pical areas”说明此处已经转移话题, 讲述热带地区的气候状况了。 故C选项符合语境。第三部分语言运用(共两节, 满分30分)第一节(共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分)Being admitted to hospital is boring.
