Trang 3Hurricanes are violent storms that cause millions of dollars in property damage and take many lives They can be extremely dangerous, and too often people underestimate their fury
Hurricanes normally originate as a small area of thunderstorms over the Atlantic Ocean west of the Cape Verde Island during August or September For several days, the area of the storm increases and the air pressure falls slowly A center of low pressure forms, and winds begin to whirl around it It is blown westward, increasing in size and strength
Hurricane hunters then fly out to the storm in order to determine its size and intensity and to trace its direction They drop radiosondes, or instruments for recording temperature, air pressure, and humidity, into the storm They also look at the size of waves on the ocean, the clouds, and the eye of the storm The eye is a region of relative calm and clear skies in the center of the hurricane People often lose their lives by leaving shelter when the eye has arrived, only to be caught in tremendous winds again when the eye has passed
36 What is the eye of the hurricane?
a The power center of the storm
b The part that determines its direction
c The calm center of the storm
d The first part that makes landfall
37 What is a “radiosonde” as mentioned in paragraph 3?
a A high-frequency air wave
b A type of isotope
c A device that records the sounds inside the storm
d An instrument for determining factors that provide insight into the
