Unit 4 Global warming
Ⅰ 阅读理解
(2018 ·江西重点中学协作体联考 )
A massive winter storm is expected to begin hitting Massachusetts tonight, dumping up to a foot or more of snow in some areas, while whipping the coast with powerful winds and driving rains, forecasters predict.
“ It ’s got a little bit of everything ,” William Babcock, a meteorologist( 气象学家 ) at the National Weather Service in Taunton, said of the post - Christmas storm that brought snowstorm conditions to the Ohio Valley before heading east with its
mixed bag of snow, sleet, and rain.
State Highway Administrator Frank De Paola said more than 4
,000 states and
snowplows( 扫雪车 ) and salt
spreaders
were ready
to make the roads
safer for
holiday
travelers.
“ MassDOT will be fully staffed and will be ready to handle this
,” De Paola
said, nothing that the storm, which should bring snow to most of the state except

’ first

is

call

A high

Massachusetts,

wind could reach

and windshield wash, Barrows Hardware president Brain Barrow said. He called the

supermarket
effect
for

said of
shoppers
stocking
supplies before a storm.
There
were no flight
delays or cancellations
at
Logan International
Airport
in
Boston as of day.
“Right
now, everything ’s running
normally ,” airport
spokesman
Richard
