第3部分：概括大意與完成句子（第23～30題，第題1分，共8分）
閱讀下面這篇短文，短文后有2項(xiàng)測(cè)試任務(wù)：（1）第23～26題要求從所給的6個(gè)選取項(xiàng)中為第2～5段選擇1個(gè)正確的小標(biāo)題；（2）第27～30題材要求從所給的6個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選擇4個(gè)正確選項(xiàng)，分別完成每個(gè)句子。請(qǐng)將答案涂在答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上。
Hurricanes （龍卷風(fēng)）
1. Did you know that before 1950, hurricanes had no names? They were simply given numbers. The first names were simply Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc. But in 1953, female names were given because of the unpredictability （不可預(yù)知的） factor of the storms. In 1979, realizing the sexist （性別歧視的） nature of such names, the lists were expanded to include both men and women.
2. Hurricanes and typhoons （臺(tái)風(fēng)） are the same things. If they form in 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 mph. 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 （凝結(jié)） from a gaseous state to a liquid state over fixed points on the equator （赤道）. To make a hurricane, you must have extremely wet, warm air, the kind of air that can only be found in tropical regions.
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 many industrialized nations need in an entire year! The problem is that we don't know how to make 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 along at twice this speed, then suddenly stop and remain in the same location in the ocean for several days. It can be maddening （發(fā)瘋的） if you live in a coastal area that may be hit.
6. The biggest advance in early detection is continuous watch from weather satellites. With these, we can see the storms form and track them fully, from birth to death. While they can still kill people and destroy property, hurricanes will never surprise any nation again.

23. A A Short History of Naming Hurricanes 第一段講的是颶風(fēng)的命名問(wèn)題。從沒(méi)有名字到有名字，從女性名字到男女名字。通篇對(duì)颶風(fēng)名字的歷史做了一個(gè)小小的總結(jié)。
24. F Different Names for the Same Things 第二段講了來(lái)自不同地區(qū)的強(qiáng)大風(fēng)擁有不同的名字。第一句話就點(diǎn)出颶風(fēng)和臺(tái)風(fēng)是同一種風(fēng)。正面的告訴我們這段的主題。
25. D Huge Energy Stored in a Hurricane 第四段說(shuō)了颶風(fēng)中擁有強(qiáng)大的能量，作者在第二句明顯的表達(dá)了這一觀點(diǎn)。
26. C Difficulty in Forecasting the Course of a Hurricane 第一句話，開(kāi)門(mén)見(jiàn)山的告訴了我們颶風(fēng)預(yù)測(cè)是一件艱巨的任務(wù)。后面，對(duì)其進(jìn)行了解釋。
27. C sex equality. 第一段：In 1979, realizing the sexist （性別歧視的） nature of such names, the lists were expanded to include both men and women.考慮到性別歧視問(wèn)題，名單中出現(xiàn)了男性和女性的名字。
28. A the timely （及時(shí)的） discovery. 第六段：The biggest advance in early detection is continuous watch from weather satellites.這句話說(shuō)了最明顯的進(jìn)步就是通過(guò)天氣衛(wèi)星連續(xù)的近期觀察。
29. E the huge power. 第四段：The problem is that we don't know how to make such great energy work for us.前文一直描述颶風(fēng)中蘊(yùn)含的巨大能量，這句話表達(dá)了問(wèn)題的關(guān)鍵就是無(wú)法利用其能量。側(cè)面的說(shuō)明了科學(xué)家對(duì)這種能量非常感興趣。
30. F its uncertainly. 第五段：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 along at twice this speed, then suddenly stop and remain in the same location in the ocean for several days. It can be maddening （發(fā)瘋的） if you live in a coastal area that may be hit.這段話描述了颶風(fēng)的不確定性。所以，跟蹤颶風(fēng)是一件非常困難的事情。
