News Report Three

A rare thundershow event has taken place in Scotland. And alarmed locals contacted police, thinking they had heard bombs going off. The phenomenon happens when thunder and lightning mix with a heavy snowstorm—[5] sometimes causing loud claps that can be confused with explosions.

One person described it as a loud boom, similar to a plane crash. Another person was woken up in the middle of the night by what he thought was early construction work starting. The noise was powerful enough to shake buildings and set off car alarms. The police were flooded with many calls from the public. [6] And they sent out a message asking people to remain calm. The police assured everyone that it was just thunder and lightning rather than some military exercise. The weather was the coldest it had been for the season, [7] so people were warned to be careful when traveling outside. In particular, dangerous conditions such as icy roads or wet ground could cause difficulty for drivers. The rail service also announced potential disruptions to trains due to the deep snow. Some roads were also closed because of the severe weather.

 

新闻三

苏格兰发生了一起罕见的"雷暴雪"事件。受惊的当地居民联系了警方,以为他们听到了炸弹爆炸的声音。这种现象是在雷电与强暴风雪同时发生时出现的——有时会产生巨大的轰鸣声,容易被误认为是爆炸。

一人描述说,那一声巨响类似于飞机坠毁。另一人则在深夜被惊醒,以为是有建筑工地提早开工。巨大的声响足以震动建筑并触发汽车警报。警方接到了公众打来的大量电话。他们发布了一条信息,要求人们保持冷静。警方向所有人保证,这仅仅是雷电现象,而非某种军事演习。此次天气是本季度迄今为止最寒冷的,因此人们被警告外出时要小心。特别是诸如结冰道路或潮湿地面等危险状况,可能给驾驶员带来困难。铁路部门也宣布,由于深积雪,列车可能中断运营。部分道路也因恶劣天气而封闭。

They often take place in the Scottish highlands.
They usually happen in the middle of the night.
Their damage can be as serious as that of bombs.
Their loud claps can be confused with explosions.

What do we learn about thundersnows from the report?
问:关于雷雪,我们从新闻报道中了解到什么?

  1. 它们通常发生在苏格兰高地。
  2. 它们通常发生在半夜。
  3. 它们造成的破坏会和炸弹一样严重。
  4. 它们的巨响可能与爆炸声相混淆。

解析:

  1. 不正确。新闻仅说明该现象发生在苏格兰,但未具体提及"苏格兰高地"这一特定区域,因此该选项缺乏原文依据。
  2. 不正确。虽然新闻提到有人半夜被惊醒,但这仅是个别案例的描述,并未说明雷雪"通常"在半夜发生,该选项属于以偏概全。
  3. 不正确。新闻描述了巨响能够震动建筑物并触发汽车警报,但全文并未将雷雪造成的实际破坏与炸弹的破坏程度进行任何比较。
  4. 正确。新闻原文明确说明,雷雪现象"有时会产生巨大的轰鸣声,容易被误认为是爆炸",这与选项表述完全一致。

解析:

  2. 不正确。新闻中虽提及有居民误以为听到施工声,但全文未出现警方对此作出回应或承诺阻止施工的任何信息。
  3. 不正确。警方澄清的是"这仅仅是雷电现象,而非某种军事演习",并未提及任何"军事演习结束了"的说法。
  4. 不正确。新闻中虽然有人将声音比喻为飞机坠毁,但警方并未采取前往检查坠机现场的行动,该选项属于无中生有。

What were people advised to do when traveling outside?
问:人们外出时被建议做什么?

  1. 注意保暖。
  2. 注意安全。
  3. 不要开车。

解析:

  1. 不正确。新闻虽提到这是"本季度迄今为止最寒冷的"天气,但给出的具体建议是外出时"要小心",并未直接给出"注意保暖"的建议。
  2. 正确。新闻明确警告人们"外出时要小心",并具体说明了道路结冰等危险状况,这与"注意安全"的建议完全对应。
  3. 不正确。新闻提醒驾驶员注意危险路况,但并未给出"不要开车"的明确建议。
  4. 不正确。新闻指出铁路服务可能因深积雪而中断,这实际上是不建议依赖火车出行的暗示,与选项表述相反。
