Fifi wasnt a pet dog as the name suggests, It was a hurricane , one of the most destructive natural phenomena in the world.Why do we give human names to storms and hurricanes?Two hundred years ago , many hurricanes in the Caribbean were named after the saints (基督教徒的) day on which the storm occurred , Later ,storms were known by the name of the city where they came ashore.Meteorologists(气象学家) then tried naming storms after the latitude(纬度) and longitude(经度)where they occurred.Finally, in 1953, hurricanes started getting peoples names-especially , female names ,Male names were added in 1979.There are six sets of names for what the experts call “Atlantic tropical cyclones(热带风暴)”.Each list is used every six years and consists of 21 names, starting with every letter but Q, U, X, Y and Z. The names alternate(交替)between male and female.A storm wont get a name until its winds reach 39mph or about 62.4kph , at which point it becomes a tropical storm.,At 74 mph or 118.4 kph its declared a hurricane.The 126 names on the list are used only for storms that form off the Atlantic coast of the US, There are separate lists for the Pacific.So what happens if hurricane should croos from the Atlantic to the Pacific? Its happened before. The storm just gets a new name and sometimes a new sex.Max Mayfield is the director of the National Hurricane Centre, headquartered in Minami, Florida ,Hes in charge of picking new names for storms off the Atlantic coast.He doesnt do it alone ,Though. His counterparts in two dozen other countries in the Caribbean ,Central America and North America vote on what names will replace retired names.57.From the first paragraph we can find that .A.Honduras is a country which was destroyed by FifiB.Honduras is a country which has no mountainsC.Honduras is a country which faces the oceanD.Honduras is a country which lies at high altitude58.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.There were no hurricanes two centuries ago.B.The Caribbean is a state of the United States.C.The Caribbean is a place where hurricanes occur often.D.Fifi was formed off the Pacific.59.The underlined word“counterparts”in the last paragraph means .A.citizens holding the same opinionB.people with a similar position or functionC.passengers travelling by seaD.assistants working abroad60.Which list could be used to name the five storms from the Atlantic in a year?A.David, Helen, Jack, Mike, Lucy.B.Lucy, Mary, Qwen, Nina, Peter.C.Sam, Tina, Victor, Wanda, Yeats.D.Peter, Rose, Sam, Tereasa, Victor.第二节 根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。（每空1分）Debbie！I cant believe it！I havent seen you for ages.
