    Mike McClure walked into Sarasota Bay for a little fishing on a beautiful day last April. This afternoon, the water was shallow enough at low tide that McClure could easily walk 100 yards offshore and cast (投) his line in any direction.

    Near sunset, still without a fish, he decided to turn back. Rather than turn to his earlier course, he chose a more direct path toward shore, thinking the bay wouldn't get deeper along the way. Instead, he was trapped. He tried to walk in different directions, but shallower water eluded (避开) him. Finally, he decided his safest choice was to head straight for land.

    "Within about five steps, the water was coming in through the top of the waders (高筒防水胶靴)," says McClure.

    He felt the deadweight（重物） of the flooding waders pulling him down and knew that if he didn't get out of them, he would drown. But he failed to kick his way out of the waders. Instead, they pulled him completely below the surface.

    Back onshore, Eliza Cameron, 19, Loren Niurka Mora, 20, and Caitlin Petro, 20, had been watching McClure fish as they rested on the grass after a long week of classes. They saw McClure go under and then heard him cry, "Help!"

    The three friends kicked off their shoes and ran into the bay. They were all good swimmers, but all hid a fear that he might pull them down too because they'd have to dive to save him.

    When they reached him, he'd managed to kick himself out of the waders, but his eyes had partly rolled back. Cameron and Mora each hooked (钩住) an arm under his shoulders, while Petro supported his back and held his hand. Then the three friends tried their best to tug (拉) him towards shore. Finally, they all returned to the shore safely.

    Mike McClure didn't turn back by his earlier course because      .

         A. he wanted to choose a short course

         B. his earlier course was dangerous

         C. he just wanted to take a risk

         D. he knew where the water was deep

    What directly trapped Mike McClure in the bay?

         A. His wrong decision.

         B. The coming high tide.

        C. His waders' being flooded.

        D. The depth of water.

    During the rescue,      .

           A. the three women were afraid of being trapped in the water

           B. Cameron and Petro helped catch Mike McClure's arms

           C. the three women removed Mike McClure's waders

           D. Mike McClure still wore his flooding waders

    What’s the main idea of this passage?

          A. Enjoy fishing on a beautiful day.

          B. Help others when they are in trouble.

          C.A terrible experience during fishing.

          D. How to rescue people when they’re drowning.

    The devastation of Typhoon Morakot over Taiwan and eastern China is a reminder that the northwest Pacific is the most dangerous region in the world for tropical storms．The worst of these are typhoons, which are the same as hurricanes in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific, or cyclones in the Indian Ocean and Australia．They all have winds of more than 118km/h (73mph) spinning around a central core．
    These storms start off as a mass of thunderstorms in the tropics outside the Equator．Given the right conditions, they form a bigger and more organised storm and feed off warm seas at more than 26．5C (80F) to get the fuel that they need to become a fully-fledged(羽毛丰满的) typhoon, hurricane or cyclone．Each storm is like a heat engine, extracting heat from the warm, humid air over the sea and turning it into phenomenal amounts of energy — equivalent to about 200 times the entire world’s electrical generating capacity．But warm, moist air is not enough — these storms also need slack winds aloft, because strong high-altitude winds can rip off the top of the storm clouds and send the entire storm tumbling（翻跟头）．
    The damage from tropical storms often comes from their winds, or the storm surges from the sea as the winds pile up water into a huge battering ram(冲击夯) that floods coastlines．But the devastation from Typhoon Morakot came from its unbelievable rainfall — about a year’s average rain in some places — that set off landslides and mudslides．
    1．According to the first paragraph, the common point among typhoons,hurricanes and cyclones is _______．
    A．that they all come from the oceans
    B．that they all have winds of over 118km/h spinning around a central core
    C．that they all cause great damage
    D．that they all can generate electricity
    2．Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
    A．Typhoon Morakat devestates Taiwan and eastern China
    B．How is the typhoon formed?
    C．Typhoon Morakot was how to devestate the areas it travelled
    D．How terrible is Typhoon Morakat!
    3．The devastation from Typhoon Morakot is mainly from ______．
    A．its wind                     B．its rainfall      
    C．landslides and mudslides      D．the storm
    4．It can be inferred from the passage that ______．
    A．Taiwan is off the northwest Pacific
    B．the damage from tropical storms often comes from their winds
    C．tropical storms often happen
    D．tropical storms only need warm, moist air

    Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A—F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.

    A.  Forecasting Research
    B.  Well-known Weather Forecasters
    C.  Severe Weather Events
    D.  Weather Forecasting
    E.  The Forecasting Process
    F.  Historical Background
    【小题1】
    The task of predicting the weather that will be observed at a future time is called weather forecasting.  As one of the primary objectives of the science of meteorology, weather forecasting has depended critically on the scientific and technological advances in meteorology that have taken place since the latter half of the 19th century.
    【小题2】
    Throughout most of history, forecasting efforts at any given site depended solely on observations that could be made at the site.  With the development of the telegraph in the mid-1800s, weather forecasters were able to obtain observations from many distant locations within a few hours of the collection of such data.  Weather forecasting was revolutionized in the 1920s by the work of a group of Norwegian scientists.  This group provided a consistent and empirically based description of atmospheric circulation systems.  Current weather-forecasting techniques were initiated by the theoretical work of American meteorologist Jule Charney in developing numerical weather prediction.  Experimental numerical forecasts in 1950 proved so fruitful that they were soon adopted on a practical basis.  Since then, computerized systems based on numerical models have become a central part of weather forecasting.
    【小题3】
    The process of making a weather forecast can be separated into three steps: observation and analysis, extrapolation to find the future state of the atmosphere, and prediction of particular variables.  The standard extrapolation technique is to assume that weather features will continue to move as they have been moving.  In some cases the third step simply consists of noting the results of extrapolation, but actual prediction usually involves considerable efforts beyond this. 
    【小题4】
    Great attention is paid to weather forecasts during times of severe events (blizzard, hurricane and typhoon, tornado), and so forth.  Accordingly, the National Weather Service (NWS) commits significant resources to the forecast of such events.  Blizzards or strong extra-tropical cycles are handled through the usual forecast information channels, with the local NWS office issuing special advisories as appropriate.
    【小题5】
    A number of new observing systems are being developed for forecasting purposes.  These include the Next-Generation Radar digital weather radar, which is intended to detect motions towards or away from the radar installation.  In addition, automated systems are being developed for taking observations at surface stations and on board buoys, ships, and aircraft.  The communications, processing, and display systems intended to govern this torrent of further data are still being elaborated.
