method typhoons are coded with various types of numbers such as a 4 digit or a 6 digit code For example the 14th typhoon in 2003 can be labeled either as Typhoon 0314 or Typhoon 200314 The disadvantage of this method however is that a number is hard to remember The list based method on the other hand is based on the list of typhoon names chosen in advance by a committee and is more widely used At the very beginning only female names were used because at that time typhoons were named after girlfriends or wives of the experts on the committee In 1979 however male names were also included because women protested against the original naming practice for reasons of gender 性别 equality In Asia Western names were used until 2000 when the committee decided to use Asian names to raise Asians awareness of typhoons The names were chosen from a name pool consisting of 140 names 10 each from the 14 members of the committee Each country has its unique naming preferences Korea and Japan 用心 爱心 专心5 favor animal names and China likes names of gods such as Longwang dragon king and Fengshen god of the wind After the 140 names are all used in order they will be recycled But the names can be changed If a member country suffers great damage from a certain typhoon it can request that the name of the typhoon be deleted from the list at tile annual committee meeting For example the names of Nabi by South Korea and Longwang by China Were replaced with other names in 2007 The deletion of both names was due to the severe damage caused by the typhoons bearing the names 66 With the number based method the 3rd typhoon in 2012 can be named A Typhoon 0314 B Typhoon 0312 C Typhoon 201214 D Typhoon 1203 67 In 1979 male names began to be used for typhoons because A men thought it was

typhoons are named B why to name typhoons C the history of typhoons D equality between men and women D 用心 爱心 专心6 Spider webs are one of the most fascinating examples of animal architecture The most beautiful and structurally ordered are the round webs The main function of the web is to stop and hold flying insects long enough for the spider to catch them In order to do so the threads of the web have to stand the forces from large and heavy insects as well as environmental forces from wind and rain for at least a day in most cases The round web is found to have two main characteristics The first is its geometry which consists of an outer frame and a central part from which threads radiate out ward Enclosed in the frame are capture spirals winding round and round from the web center out to the frame The whole web is in tension and held in place by anchor threads which connect the frame to the surrounding plants or objects The second and perhaps most important characteristic is the material with which it is built Spider silk is a kind of natural material that sires this lightweight fiber a strength comparable to that of steel while at the same time making it very elastic 有弹性的 Two types of silk threads are used in the web One is highly elastic and can stretch to almost twice its original length before breaking and for most types of spiders is covered in slue This type is used in the capture spiral for catching and holding insects The other is stiffer and stronger and is used for the radius frames and anchor threads which allows the web to stand forces and to keep its structural strength through a wide range of environmental conditions 71 What does the word so in the first paragraph refer to A To catch and keep small creatures B To find a good material for the web C To make the webs beautiful and well ordered D To make the threads long enough 72 Which of the following is used for catching and holding insects 用心 爱心 专心7 A The center of the web B The capture spirals C The anchor threads D The radius 73 Which of the following correctly gives the names of the numbered threads in the picture A capture spiral radius B radius capture spiral C anchor thread frame thread D frame thread anchor thread 74 Which of the following best describes the threads used in the capture spiral A Natural and lightweight B Strong and stiff C Smooth and elastic D Strong sticky and elastic 75 What is this passage mainly about A The wisdom of spiders B The function of round spider webs C The structure of round spider webs D The challenges for spider webs 答案答案
