Hurricane Loretta, with its fierce(猛烈的、强烈的) winds and rain, caused destruction and flooding in Miami and surrounding areas. Some of the floods were so bad that the streets looked like rivers. This hurricane comes after a summer of drought(干旱、旱灾) and dryness followed by a series of other hurricanes and smaller tropical storms in the area.Although hurricanes and tropical storms are certainly not new to Florida, the severity of the storms in recent years has caused many scientists to point to global warming. Global warming , or the increase in the earth’s atmospheric(大气的) temperature, is thought to cause more severe weather and natural disasters: hurricanes, floods, droughts, tornadoes(旋风、龙卷风), and heat waves. Most scientists agree that the main cause of global warming is humans. As humans, we have created this change by polluting the earth with our cars and other technology, as well as deforestation(采伐森林、森林开伐), or cutting down trees and forests. True or false?（ ）1. Loretta is the name of a city near Miami, Florida.（ ）2. The destruction was caused by the hurricane’s wind and rain.（ ）3. It has been raining and flooding all year in southern Florida.（ ）4. Tropical storms are bigger and more severe than hurricanes.（ ）5. The earth’s temperature is getting warmer. This is called global warming.（ ）6. Scientists don’t know what is causing global warming.（ ）7. Global warming causes extreme weather.
