While the nicknames of current hurricanes — including Earl and Fiona — may seem simple, the system of naming hurricanes has a long and complicated history, and it’s still evolving. Originally, hurricanes were given the names of saints who were honored on the day they occurred, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. For example, Hurricane Santa Ana of 1825 hit on July 26, the day dedicated to Saint Anne. If two hurricanes struck on the same day, the newer tempest had a suffix tacked on to its name. For example, Hurricane San Felipe struck Puerto Rico on Sept. 13, 1876, and another storm hit the area on Sept. 13, 1928. The latter storm was named Hurricane San Felipe II. Later, latitude and longitude position were used in the naming process. However, this clumsy identification method was confusing during radio communication and more subject to error, according to NOAA. Now, hurricane names are determined by the WMO, which is in charge of updating the six weather regions of the world. For Atlantic tropical storms, the National Hurricane Center created six lists of hurricane names that are maintained and updated by the WMO through an international voting committee. The lists contain French, Spanish, Dutch and English names because "hurricanes affect other nations and are tracked by the public and weather services of many countries," according to NOAA. The lists do change, however. If a storm is especially devastating, such as 2005’s Katrina, a vote is taken by the WMO to determine whether it would be inappropriate to use the name again. If a name is taken off the list, another name that shares its first letter is selected and voted to replace it.
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. What can we learn about the names of hurricanes from the passage?
33. What has been used in the process of naming a hurricane, according to the passage?
34. Which of the following does the term "WMO" most probably stand for?
35. What can we learn from the passage when a hurricane is especially devastating?
选项
A、Wow Meters Online.
B、Water Management Ocean.
C、World Meteorological Organization.
D、Washington Mutual Office.
答案
C
解析
选项表明,本题与某一机构有关,听音时应留意与选项中的组织机构相关的信息。由短文中提到的…WMO,which is in charge of updating the six weather regions of the world可推断出,WMO应该是一个气象组织,故答案为[C]“世界气象组织”。
