3.Research into the dynamics of storms is directed toward improving the ability to predict these events and thus to minimize damage and avoid loss of life.
[队长提示]:这里的dynamic+s表示单数意义---动力学。
一:direct ---指路 lead --领路 guide ---导游
[搭配]in the direction of ---朝..方向
[辨析]direct ---用于具体意义不拐弯、不转向
directly --用于抽象意义上“直接地”还有立即马上的意思,作连词是引导时间状语从句,跟as soon as一样,其句子用一般时表示将来。
二:toward---强调方向 to--强调到达目的地

[辨析]指某方面改善转好用improve in,指后发事比先发事好,用improve on.

damage---指损害某事物,部分损坏
destroy--指彻底毁坏
五:avoid
[搭配]:avoid/escape+doing sth. 逃避某事
[辨析]:avoid,escape
avoid---原义是“使..扑空”,所以指“在..之前有意避开”
escape--原义是“out of being caught”,指“从..中逃脱”,以免受伤害。
