Ⅲ. Read and complete the tasks.
China has built a special weather research centre in Wuhan to better deal with dangerous rainstorms. The centre started working last month and will use new technology to study heavy rains and help protect people.
Last year, China had less rain, but there were still 35 bad storms in different areas. Some of the worst floods happened in northern China and near big rivers like the Yellow River. These storms destroyed homes and even hurt people. The new centre will not only try to predict(预测) heavy rains more correctly but also warn people earlier before storms come. What’s more, it will help manage water better to prevent floods.
Scientists chose Wuhan for this centre because it’s in a special place between north and south China. This area gets all kinds of wild weather like heavy rain, strong wind and hail. The land has many rivers and mountains, which makes it perfect for studying storms.
The researchers will work with weather experts from China and other countries. Their work should help in many ways: giving people more time to get ready for coming storms, making dams and reservoirs safer during floods, reducing damage when big storms hit. The centre’s work is especially important now because climate change is making weather more extreme(极端的). The research will help protect important projects like the South-to-North Water Transfer Project and keep people living near big rivers safe.

本题为英语阅读理解细节题，需通过题干关键词定位原文对应内容，逐一比对选项与原文信息，排除错误选项得出答案。第1题关键词为last year’s storms，第2题关键词为choose Wuhan的原因，第3题关键词为research centre help people的方式，需精准定位原文段落内容。
【解析】
1. 第1题：定位原文第二段“Last year, China had less rain... Some of the worst floods happened in northern China...”，A选项“more rain”与原文“less rain”矛盾；B选项“Few people got hurt”与原文“hurt people”矛盾；D选项“Serious storms disappeared”与原文“35 bad storms”矛盾，故正确答案为C。
2. 第2题：定位原文第三段选武汉的原因：①“it’s in a special place between north and south China”对应D；②“gets all kinds of wild weather like heavy rain, strong wind and hail”对应B；③“The land has many rivers and mountains”对应C；A选项“many dams”原文未提及，故正确答案为BCD。
3. 第3题：定位原文第四段“keep people living near big rivers safe”对应A；B选项“Move people away from the sea”原文未提及；C选项“Control the weather”与原文“predict heavy rains more correctly”不符；D选项“Build more dams”原文未提及，故正确答案为A。
