共用题干Nice Name But She's So Deadly1. More than a million people in the United States were told to leave their homes over the weekend as Hurricane（飓风）Dennis headed to the Gulf coast,after killing at least 15 people in the Caribbean Sea.2. If you read the news often enough,you may notice that all hurricanes are given names. Why is that?Remember,there can be more than one hurricane operating at one time.Without naming them,we could get confused about which storm we're talking about.3. For hundreds of years,hurricanes in the Caribbean were named after the particular religious day on which they occurred. One Australian meteorologist（气象学家）began giving women's names to tropical storms at the end of the 19th century.In 1953,the US National Weather Service, which is responsible for tracking hurricanes and issuing warnings,began using female names for storms.By 1979,both women and men's names were being used.One name for each letter of the alphabet（字母表）is selected,except for Q,U and Z.4. So who decides which names are used each year? The World Meteorological Organization uses six lists in rotation,so each list is reused every six years.5. Here's a list of the 2005 Atlantic hurricanes,according to the US National Hurricane Centre:Arlene,Bret,Cindy,Dennis,Emily,Franklin,Gert, Harvey,Irene, Jose,Katrina,Lee,Maria,Nate,Ophelia,Philippe,Rita,Stan,Tammy,Vince,Wilma.Hurricanes are given names________.A:to track hurricanes and issue warningB:to avoid confusionC:to stay at homeD:to be given to tropical stormsE:to make predictionsF: to kill at least 15 people
共用题干第二篇Call American Their NamesA great difference between American social customs and those of other countries is the way in which names are used.Americans have little concern for"rank",especially socially. Most Americans do not want to be treated in any especially respectful way because of their age or social rank;it makes them feel uncomfortable.Many Americans even find the terms"Mr.","Mrs."or"Miss" too formal.People of all ages may prefer to be called by their first names."Don't call me Mrs. Smith.Just call me Sally."Using only first names usually indicates friendliness and acceptance. However,if you do not feel comfortable using only first names,it is quite acceptable to be more formal.Just smile and say that after a while you will use first names but you are accustomed to being more when you first meet someone.Very often,introductions are made using both first and last names:"Mary Smith,this is John Jones."In this situation you are free to decide whether to call the lady"Mary"or"Miss Smith". Sometimes both of you will begin a conversation using last names,and after a while one or both of you may begin using first names instead.You have a choice:if you don't want to use first names so quickly, no one will think it impolite if you continue according to your own custom.The passage you've just read would most likely be found in a______.A:guide-book for touristsB:book about American historyC:noticeD:short story
