Did you know that before 1950, hurricanes had no names? They were simply given numbers. The first names were simply Alpha, Bravo

16、, Charlie, etc. But in 1953, females names were given because of the unpredictability (不可预知 ) factor of the storms. In 1979, realizing the sexist (性别歧视的 ) nature of such names, the lists were expanded to include both men and women. 2. Hurricanes and typhoons (台风 ) are the same things. If they form i

17、n the Atlantic, we call these strong storms hurricanes, from the West Indian word hurricane, meaning “big wind“. And if they are Pacific storms, they are called typhoons from the Chinese taifun, meaning “great wind“. To be classified as a hurricane, the storm must have maximum winds of at least 75 m

18、ph. These storms are big, many hundreds of miles in diameter. 3. Hurricanes get their power from water vapor as it gives out its stored-up energy. All water vapor gives out heat as it condenses (凝结 ) from a gaseous state to a liquid state over fixed points on the equator (赤道 ). To make a hurricane,

19、you must have extremely wet, warm air, the kind of air that can only be found in tropical region. 4. Scientists have determined that the heat given out in the process of water condensation can be as high as 95 billion kilowatts per hour. In just one day alone, the storm can produce more energy than

20、many industrialized nations need in an entire year! The problem is that we dont know how to make sure such great energy work for us. 5. Predicting the path of a hurricane is one of the most difficult tasks for forecasters. It moves at a typical speed of 15 mph, but not always. Some storms may race a

21、t twice this speed, then suddenly stop and remain in the same location for several days. It can be maddening (发疯的 ) if you live in a coastal area that may be hit. The biggest advance in early detection is continuous watch from weather satellites. With these, we an see the storms form and track them

25、文内容，为每题选 1个最佳选项。 30 One-room Schools One-room schools are part of the heritage of the United States, and the mention of them makes people feel a vague longing for “the way things were“. One-room schools are an endangered species (濒于灭绝的物种 ), however. For more than a hundred years, one-room schools ha

26、ve been systematically (系统地 ) shut down (关闭 ) and their students away to centralized schools. As recently as 1930 there were 149, 000 one-room schools in the United States. By 1970 there were 1, 800. Today, of the nearly 800 remaining one-room schools, more than 350 are in Nebraska. The rest are sca

27、ttered through a few other states that have on their road maps wide-open spaces between towns. Now that there are hardly any left, educators are beginning to think that maybe there is something yet to be learned from one-room schools, something that served the pioneers that might serve as well today

28、. Progressive educators have come up with progressive-sounding names like “peer-group teaching“ and “multi-age grouping“ for educational procedures that occur naturally in the one-room school. In a one-room school the children teach each other because the teacher is busy part of the time teaching so

29、meone else. A fourth grader can work at a fifth-grade level in math and a third-grade level in English without the stigma (耻辱 ) associated with being left back or the pressures of being skipped ahead. A youngster with a learning disability can find his or her own level without being separated from t

30、he other pupils In larger urban and suburban schools today, this is called “mainstreaming“. A few hours in a small school that has only one classroom and it becomes clear why so many parents feel that one of the advantages of living in Nebraska is that their children have to go to a one-room school.

35、 a journey in a bus as exciting experience. Although there are thousands of cars on the roads, more people travel by bus than by car. Workers rushing to their offices or factories, children hurrying to school, housewives going shopping, use buses. For cities without other public transport services,

36、if all the buses were to stop running for a day, work would come to a standstill in hundreds of offices and factories and most classrooms would be deserted. Buses today are large and have comfortable seats, mostly facing the front. To get the driver to stop at a bus-stop, a passenger has merely to p

37、ush a button, which rings a bell placed near the driver. The bus schedule for the city is well planned, and seldom does one have to wait very long to catch a bus. One can go from almost any part of the city to another by bus. Of course, there are drawbacks in bus travel. Often the buses are filled t

38、o capacity, especially during the rush-hours, and then one may have to wait longer than usual at a bus-stop for a bus with space for more passengers. If one gets into a crowded bus, one may have to remain standing throughout the journey holding on to a leather strap. This can be quite uncomfortable

39、and even a little dangerous, as one may be jerked off ones feet if the bus stops or starts suddenly. In spite of the inconveniences, we should be grateful for the advantages of bus travel today. The situation was quite different a generation or two ago. In the early 1830s buses were much smaller tha

40、n they are now. They did not run to a proper timetable (时间表 ). To catch a bus one stood at a bus-stop(many roads did not even have bus-stops), and took ones chance. Buses took in as many passengers as could squeeze in (挤进去 ). Passengers sat on benches placed on either side of the bus, facing each ot

41、her. 36 In a big city, cars are less important than buses because （ A） cars carry far fewer people. （ B） car travel is less exciting. （ C） cars are more expensive. （ D） cars are inconvenient. 37 In order to get off the bus, a passenger has to （ A） shout to the driver. （ B） push some buttons. （ C） ju

42、mp off the bus. （ D） ring a special bell. 38 Bus travel nowadays （ A） is worse than before. （ B） is no better than before. （ C） is more convenient than before. （ D） is the same as before. 39 What may happen when one is standing in a crowded bus? （ A） One may be forced to leave the bus. （ B） One may

43、not have to pay the fare. （ C） One may become suffocated. （ D） One may lose ones balance. 40 We can deduce from the fourth paragraph that in former times bus services were （ A） eventful. （ B） irregular. （ C） efficient. （ D） well planned. 40 TV Shows and Long Bus Trips Long bus rides are like televis

44、ions shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials (商业的 ) thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.“ “Drink

45、 Goodn Wet Root Beer.“ “Fill up with Pacific Gas.“ Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of “You Need It! Buy It Now!“ The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if youve traveled that way before . Usually some

46、things have changed new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and its fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense (悬念 ) story. Will the driver pass the

47、 truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But youve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too muc

48、h salty food can make you very thirsty between stops. The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and theres a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now youve sat with your legs crossed, w

49、ith your hands in your lap, with your hands on the arm rests even with your hands crossed Behind your head. The end comes just at no more ways to sit. 41 According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip? （ A） Buses on the road. （ B） Films on television. （ C） Advertisements on the board. （ D） Gas stations. 42 What is the purpose of this passage? （ A） To give the writers opinion about long bus trips. （ B） To persuade
