1英语答案)
DWhen a severe heat wave covered California in July 2006,it killed an estimated 650 people.But itmay be tough to recall because heat waves don't typically have names.They are already the deadliestweather-related danger,yet they remain invisible killers that few people take seriously.What if the mostlife-threatening heat waves did have names?This summer,as many experience high temperatures fueled by greenhouse gas pollution and El Nifo,there has been new openness to the idea of naming heat waves.People in Southern Europe have dubbed theJuly heat wave Cerberus.The results of a survey of more than 2,000 people found that people who knewthe heat wave was named Cerberus were also more likely to take actions to stay safe,including drinkingmore water,spending more time indoors and warning others about the risk.Though more research is needed,this suggests that naming heat waves,combined with strongermessaging,can not only help change people's perception of the risk,but prompt them to take protectiveaction.It would be more effective to broadcast that Heat Wave Zoe,a dangerous Category 3 event,willstart tomorrow and here's what you can do to protect yourself,your neighbors and co-workers.Names,after all,are easier to remember than numbers or weather forecasts.But the World Meteorological(气象学的)Organization opposes naming heat waves on the groundsthat it would confuse and distract the public.And the National Weather Service has no plans to rank orname heat waves either,saying that heat and its health impacts vary so dramatically across different regionsand seasons that even coming up with a standard definition of a heat wave is impossible.There's nothing to lose by trying out a pilot program to name the most dangerous heat waves.It'spretty clear the current approach to these disasters is falling far short of what's necessary to protect lives.We need other ways to call attention to it and warn the public of the danger.It's hard to make progressfighting an enemy with no name.32.Why does the author mention the severe heat wave that covered California in July 2006?A.To clarify the severity of heat waves.B.To remind people of the tough heat wave.C.To introduce the topic of naming heat waves.D.To show people's ignorance of the heat wave.33.What can we learn from paragraph 2 and 3?A.Due to its effectiveness,naming waves is a must.B.There exist benefits of categorizing and naming heat waves.C.Naming heat waves can change people's perception of the risk.D.Naming heat waves can urge people to take prompt action to protect themselves.34.Why does the National Weather Service have no plans to name heat waves?A.It will confuse and distract the public.B.It is inappropriate for naming heat waves.C.It is difficult to distinguish and predict heat waves.D.It is unlikely to put forward a standard definition for heat waves.35.What is the author's attitude to naming heat waves?A.Approving.B.IndifferentC.Doubtful.D.Opposed.第二节:(共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
