The south and east of the Great Lakes is famous for the huge amounts of snow it receives. When the snow starts to fall every year, people start discussing the phrase “lake-effect snow”.
Lake-effect snow which is influenced by the movement of cold air over the relatively warm water of the Great Lakes often comes in late autumn and early winter. Because of the at least 20 degrees’ difference between the lake water and the overrunning air, it’s easy to form huge amounts of snow.
As the cool air crosses the water of Great Lakes, the lowest levels of the atmosphere begin to warm and pick up moisture. This newly warmed atmosphere is lighter than the cold air above it, so it starts rising. As the changed air continues to climb higher and higher, it finally meets much colder atmosphere which changes the moisture into water drops and ice, forming clouds. After this course repeats a number of times, the clouds become heavier and heavier, and then they are changed into snow and fall down.
The most important point that decides the amount of snowfall is the direction of the wind. If the wind runs perpendicularly(垂直地)across the lake, there won’t be plenty of time for clouds to develop. However, if the wind runs in the opposite direction, clouds will form easily. The longer the cold air travels over the lake, the more moisture it is able to produce, which leads to a greater amount of snow.
The largest amount of the lake-effect snow was found across the U.P. of Michigan, the northwestern Pennsylvania and the far southwestern and northwestern New York, which are all along the south or east of the Great Lakes. It has been over 100 inches of snowfall in a winter season.
【小题1】The level of the snowfall depends on ________.

A.the size of the lake
B.the direction of the wind
C.the temperature of the lake
D.the strength of the wind
【小题2】From the passage, we can learn that ________.
A.clouds are easy to produce with the help of the perpendicular wind
B.cold air always falls down and picks up moisture to form clouds
C.the temperature of the lake water is the same as the overrunning air’s above it
D.the longer journey of the cold atmosphere can make a grater amount of snow
【小题3】The passage is mainly about ________.
A.the influences of the lake-effect snow for local people
B.the weight between moisture and atmosphere
C.how the phrase “lake-effect snow” comes in New York
D.how the lake-effect snow forms around the Great Lakes

Once there was an 11-year-old boy who went fishing with his father in the middle of a New Hampshire lake. On the day before bass (巴斯鱼) season opened, they were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then the boy tied on a small silver lure (鱼饵) and put it into the lake. Suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.

The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 p.m.—two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.

“Dad!” cried the boy. “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy. He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight. He looked again at his father.

Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He threw the huge bass into the black water. The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.

That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.

And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish ... again and again ... every time he has an ethical (道德的) decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.

1.What happened when the big fish turned out to be a bass?

A.The boy and his father discussed what to do with the big fish.

B.The boy threw the bass back into the water willingly.

C.The father lit a match in order to check the time.

D.They worried other fishermen may discover what they had done.

2.From the text we know that the father _________.

A.didn’t love his son

B.always disagreed with his son

C.disliked the huge fish

D.was firm and stubborn

3.How did the boy feel when the huge bass was thrown into the water?

A.Excited.           B.Embarrassed.       C.Disappointed.      D.Annoyed.

4.The successful architect went fishing with his children at the same place because _________.

A.they might catch a big fish there

B.he was taught an important lesson there

C.it was a most popular fishing spot

D.their children enjoyed fishing there
