    Many people like the feeling of the gentle wind in spring. Many like to see the falling leaves dancing in the wind in autumn. But sometimes, when the wind becomes a storm, it can be very destructive (毁灭性的).
    A series of such storms struck the US last month and caused very serious damage and human pain.
    Every year, major storms cause many problems around the world. There is nothing people can do to stop these powerful forces of nature. But new techniques are helping scientists to predict how, when, and where big storms will happen. The more exact scientists’ warnings are, the better people can prepare for the storms.
    Predictions are improving. “We’ve gotten better over the years, especially the last few years,” says Phil Klotzback, a scientist at an American university. How is a storm formed? Even if scientists know where a storm will happen, winds can suddenly change, carrying the storm to a new direction. “For a hurricane to happen, conditions have to be just right,” Klotzback says.
    First, the ocean water needs to be warm enough so that it evaporates and rises into the air. As it rises, the air containing drops of water cools and turns back into liquid. This process gives off heat. This produces energy like an engine that causes winds to increase. It drives the formation of a hurricane.
    If wind speeds reach 40 miles per hour, the system is called a “ tropical storm”, and it gets a name. At 75 miles per hour, it becomes a hurricane. Hurricanes that hit the US start when a thunderstorm forms off the coast Africa. Storms also develop over tropical waters in other parts of the world.
    On average, 60 or 70 storms form off Africa every year. About 10 of them get names. There are usually about six hurricanes. Two tend to be very big, with winds of 115 miles per hour or a bit higher.
    The hurricane season lasts from June to November. Ninety percent of all hurricanes hit in August, September and October.
    【小题1】According to the text, hurricanes usually ________.

    A．form off the coast of Africa and America
    B．hit parts of the world in summer and autumn
    C．cause sea winds to rise and blow over the sea
    D．strike the US but cause no damage
    【小题2】 The underlined word “evaporates” (in Paragraph 5) probably means “________”
    A．begins to moveB．gets lostC．becomes hotD．changes into a gas
    【小题3】Which of the following about the information of a hurricane is the correct order?
    a. The ocean water evaporates and goes into the air.
    b. Heat creates energy and causes winds to increase.
    c. The vapor cools.                        
    d. The ocean water is warm enough.
    e. The vapor changes back into liquid.       
    f. This course gives out heat.
    A．a, d, e, b, c, fB．a, b, c, f, d, eC．d, a, c, e, f, bD．d, a, b, c, e, f

    “Hey, Jenna, do you think we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty-two?” I asked my friend. It was clear that she was wondering where I had come up with such a question. Losing Jenna would be like losing a very close sister. We hung out together. We gave each other advice.
    “Of course, we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty-two.” Jenna announced loudly.
    The next year, in the fourth grade, we met Jamie. The three of us soon became close friends. We played together almost every day. I thought even time couldn’t pull us apart, but I was sadly mistaken.
    The three of us started fighting a lot. Before Christmas, we had a really big fight, and Jamie and Jenna were against me, both saying I was bossy. I felt helpless and lonely. I thought Christmas would be horrible!
    I was surprised when Jenna came to my house and gave me an awesome Christmas card she had made for me. I was so sure that she was still disappointed with me.
    “Wow, ” I said, breaking the silence as we stood on either side of my front door. “Thanks.”
    “Okay…well…I have to go,” she said softly.
    “Okay. See you later then…” and I closed the door.
    “Who was that at the door?” my mum asked.
    The card started off with “Merry Christmas”, but then it said, “I am so glad we’re friends. I am sorry about what I said when we were fighting. A fight won’t stop us from being friends. Besides, we said we were going to be friends even when we’re eight-two.”
    I stopped reading and started laughing. I couldn’t believe I had forgotten what she said that day in her back yard. I couldn’t believe I had been so selfish in trying to get even and making my friends feel sorry for me that I had forgotten about real friendship.
    【小题1】How would the author and Jenna get along with each other after Christmas?

    A．They would be close friends again.
    B．They would not speak to each other.
    C．They would lose touch with each other.
    D．They would go on fighting with each other.
    【小题2】The underlined sentence “I was bossy” in the fourth paragraph means “_________”.
    A．I looked like a bossB．I acted as a boss
    C．I was fond of giving ordersD．I was fond of fighting
    【小题3】Which of the following is the right time order according to the passage?
    a. Jamie became our friend.
    b. I felt lonely and unhappy.
    c. Jenna, Jamie and I fought a lot.
    d. Jenna brought me a Christmas card.
    e. I was sorry for what I did to her.
    f. Jenna and I promised to be lifelong friends.
    A．f a b c e dB．a c f b d eC．a b c f e dD．f a c b d e
    【小题4】The author was delighted when she read the card from Jenna because _________.
    A．what Jenna wrote was funny
    B．Jenna would be her friend again
    C．she was happy about the coming Christmas
    D．she was happy to receive a Christmas card

    The long, lonely voyage of the Japanese ghost ship is over.
    A US Coast Guard cutter poured cannon fire into an abandoned Japanese ghost ship that had been drifting since last year’s tsunami (海啸), sinking the vessel into waters more than 305 meters deep in the Gulf of Alaska and removing the danger it posed to shipping and the coastline on Thursday.
    The cutter’s guns tore holes in the 164-foot Ryou-Un Maru, and then it began to take on water and lean to one side. In about four hours, the ship disappeared into the sea, said Chief Petty Officer Kip Wadlow.
    The ship had no lights or communications system, and its tank was able to carry more than 7,570 liters of diesel fuel. Officials, however, didn’t know exactly how much fuel was aboard.
    “It’s less risky than it would be running into shore or running into other ships,” coast guard spokesman Paul Webb said.
    The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency studied the problem and decided it is safer to sink the ship than let the fuel evaporate and pollute the sea environment.
    Ryou-Un Maru was probably among the first wave of the 1.5 million tons of garbage of refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, roofs and fishing nets heading toward North America since last March when a magnitude-9.0 earthquake struck Japan.
    As the coast guard was ready to fire on the vessel, a Canadian fishing vessel, the 19-meter Bernice C, claimed the rights to save the ghost ship in international waters.
    Plans to sink it were paused so the Canadian crew could have a chance to take the stricken ship. A Canadian official with knowledge of the situation told the Associated Press that the Bernice C was unable to drag it.
    Then the Canadian boat left, and once it was about 10 kilometers from the Japanese vessel, the Coast Guard began to fire, first with 25 mm shells, then a few hours later with ammunition (弹药)twice that size.
    State officials have been working to test the danger of garbage including materials affected by a damaged nuclear power plant, to see if Alaska residents, seafood or wild animals could be affected.
    【小题1】The plan to fire on the Japanese ghost ship was paused because ____________.

    A．the ghost ship was beyond the reach of the Coast Guard’s guns
    B．state officials worried the ghost ship might give out radiation
    C．the shells were not powerful enough to sink the ghost ship
    D．a Canadian fishing boat wanted to save the ghost ship
    【小题2】What’s the right order of the events related to the ship of Ryou-Un Maru?
    a. Its long, lonely voyage came to an end.
    b. The US Coast Guard sank it into the sea.
    c. The ship began to float across the Pacific Ocean.
    d. A big tsunami was caused by great earthquakes.
    e. Bernice C claimed rights to save the ghost ship.
    A．d, c, e, b, a B．a, b, d, c, eC．c, e, d, a, bD．b, a, d, c, e
    【小题3】Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
    A．Japanese ghost ship arriving at US
    B．Tsunami garbage heading to US
    C．Japanese ghost ship polluting the Pacific
    D．Cannon fire sinking Japanese ghost ship
