1.C 2.B 3.A 4.C 【解析】 【原文】 W: There’s a place in Venezuela where lightning strikes about 200 days a year. M: Are you serious? W: Yep. Locals call it “the Never-Ending Storm of Catatumbo” because the area is near the Catatumbo River. Scientists found that most of the lightning strikes between April and November. NASA named the area “the Lightning Capital of the World”. M: Why does the area get so many storms? W: The Andes Mountains are on one side of the river, and the Caribbean Sea is on the other side. Cool mountain winds move into the valley and hit warm sea air, creating the perfect conditions for lightning. M: Are the people there afraid of getting hit? W: Most people stay inside at night, but they don’t really worry about it. The chances of being struck by lightning are pretty slim. In the U.S., about one out of every 12,000 people gets hit in their lifetime. M: Yeah, but we’re talking about an area that gets struck by lightning about 80% of the time. W: True. This article says that near the Catatumbo River, one in three people gets struck every year. M: Wow. That’s really scary! I would never go outside if I lived there.
