根据短文内容，从方框内所给的A、B、C、D、E五个选项中，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使文章内容完整且符合逻辑。
El Nino is the name of the bad weather that happens in the Pacific Ocean. In summer, the rain falls in South Asia. 54 This warms the ocean as it travels, before finally reaching the coasts of North and South America. Cold water is pushed out of the way by the warm water. As fish don't like warm water, they swim to other places. 55
56 And because the warm rain clouds move east, long periods of dry weather happen in South Asia, Australia and even Africa.
El Nino usually lasts nine to twelve months. 57 It doesn't happen every year though, usually between two to seven years.
The strongest El Nino happened in 1982 - 1983. In the West Pacific, it caused very serious dry weather, sandstorms and forest fires in Australia, Africa and South Asia. In the East Pacific, Peru was hit with about 3 m of rainfall in areas where about 15 cm was normal. 58 That year's El Nino caused 1,300 - 2,000 people to die.
A. But its influences are felt around December.
B. It is the heaviest rainfall ever recorded.
C. But in some years, the Pacific Ocean moves this rainfall east.
D. Birds that depend on them also move away.
E. The warmer temperatures cause too much water in southern US and South America.
54. 55. 56. 57. 58.

解析
【分析】
本题为英语补全短文题，解题思路如下：1. 通读全文，明确文章核心是介绍厄尔尼诺现象的形成、影响、持续时间及典型案例；2. 定位每个空白处的上下文，分析句子间的逻辑关系（如顺承、因果、转折等）；3. 匹配方框选项，验证衔接是否自然合理。
【解析】
54. 前文提到“夏季南亚下雨”，后文说明“该降雨移动暖化海洋”，选项C“但有些年，太平洋把这场降雨东移”衔接上下文，符合逻辑，故选C。
55. 前文提到“鱼因暖水游到其他地方”，选项D“依赖鱼的鸟类也离开”顺承前文的生物影响，故选D。
56. 后文提到“暖雨云东移导致南亚等地干旱”，选项E“暖温导致美国南部和南美水过多”是暖水带来的另一地区影响，衔接后文，故选E。
57. 前文提到“厄尔尼诺通常持续9-12个月”，后文说明“不是每年发生”，选项A“但它的影响在12月左右显现”补充时间相关特点，故选A。
58. 前文提到“秘鲁降雨量异常（正常15cm，实际3m）”，选项B“这是有记录以来最大的降雨”对应前文的降雨量描述，故选B。
【答案】
54.C 55.D 56.E 57.A 58.B
