The tiny town of Makanda, Illinois, has a population of only 600. But for the next two months, the citizens of Makanda will be preparing themselves for a large number of visitors that’ll come on August 21st this year.【B1】________
For the first time in nearly 100 years, a total solar eclipse(日食) will cross the United States from coast to coast. This means that the sun and the moon will line up perfectly so that the moon completely covers the sun. 【B2】________And the temperature will drop greatly. Even more amazing, rays of sunshine will be seen in a ring around the moon.
【B3】________Well, that’s where the eclipse will be seen the longest, over two minutes. The path from which the eclipse will be seen goes across the continental United States, from Oregon to South Carolina. People who won’t be right in the path will still be able to see a partial eclipse, with the moon covering part of the sun.
Meanwhile, Makanda is getting ready to welcome the eclipse-seekers, many of whom are scientists. Joe McFarland, Makanda’s "eclipse organizer" knows that the event——and the thousands of visitors that will come with it——might present difficulties for the tiny town. He said, "【B4】________
We’re nervous that we’re going to have crowd control issue(问题), traffic control issue. We’re trying to prepare for that. "
【B5】________A line has been painted straight through the town to show the eclipse’s path. Many of Makanda’s citizens are planning to open their homes or backyards to viewers.
【B3】
选项
答案
B
解析
由空后句子“Well,that’s where the eclipse will be seen the longest,over two minutes.”可知,本段进一步解释人们为什么要来马卡达,所以B项“But again——why Makanda?”最符合此处语境。故选B。
