三、阅读理解。(每小题2.5分)
How are typhoons or hurricanes named? Naming these storms has a long history. Before the 1900s, they were named after the time or place they happened. For example, the hurricane that hit Galveston in 1900 is called the Great Galveston Hurricane.
Giving storms people’s names seems to have started with Clement Wragge, an Australian weather scientist. In the 1890s, he named storms after women, story characters, etc. During World War Ⅱ, people began using women’s names. These names were short and easy to remember. In 1953, this became official. Men’s names were added in 1979.

How are storm names chosen now? A group from the World Meteorological Organization(世界气象组织) keeps lists of names. The names must be short, special, and connected to their culture and area. For the Atlantic, there are six lists with 21 names each. For the Western Pacific, countries give the names. The lists recur yearly. But if a storm is very destructive(毁灭性的), its name is not used again, like Katrina (2005), Sandy (2012), Haiyan (2013), and others.
