Ⅰ.阅读理解
Stages of Hurricane: Simple Storms
Grow Into Giants
A storm progresses through four different stages before it is actually considered a hurricane.First is a tropical disturbance (热带扰动), which has thunderstorms and rotating (旋转) winds.Next is a tropical depression (热带低气压), which is similar to a tropical disturbance, but has winds between 23 and 39 miles per hour.A tropical storm is the next level, which has stronger wind speeds between 40 and 73 miles per hour.Once winds reach 74 miles per hour the storm is officially called a hurricane.The wind picks up energy from the warm surface of ocean water.
As a hurricane crosses over land, it begins to become weaker or break apart and reduce in strength.This is because it is no longer over the warm ocean water where it needs for energy.At this point, a hurricane can still cause a lot of damage because of high winds, rain, and flooding.But unless it makes its way back over the open ocean, it is downgraded from a hurricane back to a tropical storm.
What's Your Name, Hurricane?
Hurricanes and tropical storms are given names to help people recognize them.Scientists refer to hurricanes and storms by names as they track them across the ocean.
Before 1953, hurricanes were not given official names.From 1953 through 1978, hurricanes were only given female names, like Isabel, Camille, Claudette, and Wilma.Beginning in 1979, hurricanes were given the names of both women and men.Today, the names alternate male and female, and they are named in order of letters.
For example, in 2010, storms were named as follows: Alex( male ), Bonnie(female), Colin (male), Danielle (female), Earl (male) and so on...
There are six different lists of names that change, so the same names are used every six years.The only way that a new name is added is when a hurricane has been particularly deadly or costly and the name is retired, then replaced with a new one.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了飓风的四个阶段和其命名方式。
1.What happens when a hurricane crosses over land?
A.It breaks apart and forms tornadoes.
B.It returns to the ocean afterwards.
C.It moves more quickly.
D.It becomes less powerful.
D [细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“As a hurricane crosses over land, it begins to become weaker or break apart and reduce in strength.”可知,当飓风越过陆地时,它开始变得越来越弱,故选D。]
2.The underlined word “alternate” in Paragraph 4 means “ ”.
A.take turns between
B.carry on
C.come from
D.cause trouble to
A [词义猜测题。根据第四、五段内容可知,风暴的名字是按照字母顺序依次选取男子名和女子名的。由此推知划线单词的含义为“依次选取”。故选A。]
3.What do we know about the hurricanes?
A.Six common hurricane names are often used.
B.An old name will be replaced every year.
C.Most of them are deadly and costly.
D.They didn't have official names until 1953.

Ⅱ.完形填空
For a long time I saw happiness as a huge banner(旗帜) across the finish line of a long race. I felt that only when I 1 certain things could I finally be happy in my life. Most of the time I felt like a tortoise believing that being slow and 2 would win the race. At other times I would 3 like a rabbit trying different side roads at a dangerous speed hoping to reach that banner a little faster. 4 , I began to see that no matter how long I raced towards it, the banner was never any 5 . I finally decided to sit down and take a break. It was then that I saw my 6 sitting beside me.
It had been with me as I 7 hard to support my family, as I played with my children and heard their laughter and even when I was 8 with my wife at my side looking after me. It had been with me as I raced towards that stupid banner. I just didn't have the 9 to see it.
There is an old Chinese proverb that says, “Tension is who you think you should be. 10 is who you are.” Perhaps we all should stop our race towards the 11 life we think we should have and 12 the life we have now. Happiness will never be found under some banners far away. It will be found in your own heart, soul and mind. It will be found when you 13 that others love you just as you do.
Don't be a tortoise or a rabbit when it comes to your happiness. Be a playful puppy and carry your stick of 14 with you everywhere you go. Take yourself out of the race and realize that when it comes to love and happiness, you are 15 there.
