Mre than 5,450 square kilmetres have burned acrss Califrnia in the past tw weeks, as firefighters cntinue t battle sme f the state’s wrst wildfires. Meanwhile, the suthern states f the US have experienced their first destructive hurricane this year.
The Califrnia fires include sme that rank amng the largest ever seen in the state. They fllwed a heatwave that caused blackuts, with Death Valley Natinal Park hitting 54.4℃ in August, the highest temperature ever recrded n Earth.
“Exceptinally ht weather ver the past tw weeks certainly played an imprtant rle in drying ut vegetatin t this extreme degree,” says Daniel Swain at the University f Califrnia, Ls Angeles. But the drying f fuel als started earlier, he ntes. Last winter was dry in nrth Califrnia, and spring brught heatwaves.
There are several unusual aspects t the current fires. They expanded dramatically even withut the usual driver fr large and fast-mving fires in the state---pwerful, dry winds. “That makes the large area burned in such a shrt time all the mre astnishing, since they’re essentially spreading n accunt f their wn intensity,” says Swain.
The ignitin (点火) f fires by dry lightning is als rare fr the regin, says Stephen Pyne at Arizna State University. He says this is Califrnia’s furth majr fire year in a rw, when histrically the state has seen between seven and 12 years between big fire seasns.
In the Gulf f Mexic, it is severe hurricanes that are the prblem. Hurricane Laura made landfall in the US n Thursday 27 August amid fficial warnings f an “unsurvivable” strm surge (风暴潮), widespread flding and catastrphic wind damage.
The strm is the first f fur hurricanes in the Atlantic this year. Abut fur-fifths f il and gas prductin in the Gulf f Mexic has been shut dwn. The energy heartland f the suth-western US was previusly battered by Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Researchers later fund that the heavy rainfall frm the strm was made three times mre likely by climate change.
Climate change is almst certainly at wrk in Califrnia t. “It is perfectly clear that climate change is increasing the likelihd and intensity f heatwaves in Califrnia,” says Swain.
Althugh the Califrnia Department f Frestry and Fire Prtectin had 14,000 peple fighting the fires, bservers say it is impssible t have enugh crews t stp fires this big.
Authrities last mnth agreed a five-year plan t d just that. With climate change lcked in fr the next 30 years, the lng-term answer is t reduce carbn emissins (碳排放), says Thmas Smith at the Lndn Schl f Ecnmics.
8．What is unusual abut the current Califrnia fires?
A. They are driven by pwerful winds.
B. Dry lightning cntributes partly t the fires.
C. They started frm nrth Califrnia last winter.
D. Death Valley Natinal Park is affected mst seriusly.
9．Hw severe is Hurricane Laura in the Gulf f Mexic?
A. It has affected il and gas prductin.
B. It is as big as Hurricane Harvey in 2017.
C. It is the furth strngest in the Atlantic this year.
D. It brings unsurvivable natural disasters t the area
10．What is a headache fr Califrnia?
A. The fires may last 30 years.
B. The five-year plan desn’t wrk.
C. It is hard t put ut the fires currently.
D. It is impssible t reduce carbn emissins.

After cmpleting an applicatin and her acceptance int the prgram, Kate began her training last spring. Nrmally, recipients f the schlarship wuld attend grund schl in persn where they learn the basics f flying. Due t the pandemic (大流行病), hwever, Kate spent hurs each weekend studying nline lessns in her rm whenever she gt a break frm hmewrk. Once summer came arund, Kate and three peers put in tw straight weeks f grund schl, reviewing fight training frm nine t five every day. "It was the tughest part f the prgram," Kate said.
After cmpleting that part f grund schl, Kate was finally able t begin flying at the San Carls Airprt with the ther schlarship recipients frm arund the Bay Area. Flying, especially fr first-timers like Kate, is a hands-n prcess invlving lts f checklists t make sure the imprtant tasks are being taken care f.
Nw, having finished the prgram and earned her PPL, Kate plans n training as a fight instructr and hpes t becme an airline pilt in her future.
She credits the Upwind Schlarship fr all she's been able t accmplish s far and hpes that anyne wh shares her passin will lk int it. “It is a very hard schlarship t get int, and yu have t be truly interested in flight,” Kate said. “It can't be smething like ‘Oh, why dn't I try flying this summer?’ Yu have t be ready t d a lt f wrk and put in effrt in rder t succeed in the prgram. ”

Mre than 5,450 square kilmetres have burned acrss Califrnia in the past tw weeks, as firefighters cntinue t battle sme f the state’s wrst wildfires. Meanwhile, the suthern states f the US have experienced their first destructive hurricane this year.
The Califrnia fires include sme that rank amng the largest ever seen in the state. They fllwed a heatwave that caused blackuts, with Death Valley Natinal Park hitting 54.4℃ in August, the highest temperature ever recrded n Earth.
“Exceptinally ht weather ver the past tw weeks certainly played an imprtant rle in drying ut vegetatin t this extreme degree,” says Daniel Swain at the University f Califrnia, Ls Angeles. But the drying f fuel als started earlier, he ntes. Last winter was dry in nrth Califrnia, and spring brught heatwaves.
There are several unusual aspects t the current fires. They expanded dramatically even withut the usual driver fr large and fast-mving fires in the state---pwerful, dry winds. “That makes the large area burned in such a shrt time all the mre astnishing, since they’re essentially spreading n accunt f their wn intensity,” says Swain.
The ignitin (点火) f fires by dry lightning is als rare fr the regin, says Stephen Pyne at Arizna State University. He says this is Califrnia’s furth majr fire year in a rw, when histrically the state has seen between seven and 12 years between big fire seasns.
In the Gulf f Mexic, it is severe hurricanes that are the prblem. Hurricane Laura made landfall in the US n Thursday 27 August amid fficial warnings f an “unsurvivable” strm surge (风暴潮), widespread flding and catastrphic wind damage.
The strm is the first f fur hurricanes in the Atlantic this year. Abut fur-fifths f il and gas prductin in the Gulf f Mexic has been shut dwn. The energy heartland f the suth-western US was previusly battered by Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Researchers later fund that the heavy rainfall frm the strm was made three times mre likely by climate change.
Climate change is almst certainly at wrk in Califrnia t. “It is perfectly clear that climate change is increasing the likelihd and intensity f heatwaves in Califrnia,” says Swain.
Althugh the Califrnia Department f Frestry and Fire Prtectin had 14,000 peple fighting the fires, bservers say it is impssible t have enugh crews t stp fires this big.
Authrities last mnth agreed a five-year plan t d just that. With climate change lcked in fr the next 30 years, the lng-term answer is t reduce carbn emissins (碳排放), says Thmas Smith at the Lndn Schl f Ecnmics.
8．What is unusual abut the current Califrnia fires?
A. They are driven by pwerful winds.
B. Dry lightning cntributes partly t the fires.
C. They started frm nrth Califrnia last winter.
D. Death Valley Natinal Park is affected mst seriusly.
9．Hw severe is Hurricane Laura in the Gulf f Mexic?
A. It has affected il and gas prductin.
B. It is as big as Hurricane Harvey in 2017.
C. It is the furth strngest in the Atlantic this year.
D. It brings unsurvivable natural disasters t the area
10．What is a headache fr Califrnia?
A. The fires may last 30 years.
B. The five-year plan desn’t wrk.
C. It is hard t put ut the fires currently.
D. It is impssible t reduce carbn emissins.
11．Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?

She tk it hme and hped that her father wuld help her take n sme prjects in it. Hwever, he didn't help her.
She attended an all-girls high schl that did nt help her with hands-n prjects either.

This technlgy was later used by NASA and has since been adapted fr use in surgery (外科手术) as well as the prductin f televisin and vide screens.
Thmas cntinued t wrk fr NASA until her retirement in 1995. Over the curse f her career, Thmas cntributed widely t the study f space. She helped develp cmputer prgram designs that supprted research n Halley's Cmet, the zne layer, and satellite technlgy.
