阅读理解。     Generally there are two ways to name typhoons；the number-based method and the
list-based method. Following the number-based 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 of 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 need 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 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 the 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 severs damage caused by the typhoons bearing the names.1. With the number-based method,the 3rd typhoon in 2012 can be named        .A. Typhoon 0314
B. Typhoon 0312
C. Typhoon 201214
D. Typhoon 12032. In 1979 male names began to be used for typhoons because          .A. men thought it was their right
B. female names are hard to remember
C. women thought it unequal to use only female names
D. the experts preferred to have more variety3. There are            Chinese names in the name pool for typhoons.A. 2
B. 10
C. 14
D. 1404. Which of the following Chinese names is most likely to be on the name list now?A. Longwang

阅读理解。     The Beijing Hutong (old lane) areas have a very special and important position in the rich history and
culture of Beijing. While visiting the Beijing Hutong, you can appreciate the dramatic changes that the rest
of Beijing has undergone. You can see evidence of the history of Beijing, experience the old way of life
and experience traditional Beijing culture.
     The Beijing Hutong is made up of lanes or alleys formed by lines of pre-modern quadrangles (siheyuan), four-sided dwelling compounds or quadrangles consist of one-story courtyard houses, which make up old Beijing, and feature typical Chinese residential architecture.
     Beijing road classification was once s follow: A 36-foot-wide road was called a standard, street, an
18-foot-wide one was a small street and a 9-foot-wide lane was named a hutong. In fact, the Beijing
Hutongs are unclassifiable by the traditional standard, ranging from 40 centimeters to 10 feet in width. The
longest hutong has more than 20 turns. It is easy to get lost in the maze of winding lanes hat is the hutong, with the gray-tiled houses and deep alleys crossing each other, all identical in appearance, with many blind hutongs or culdesacs.
     Hutongs were first named as such in the Yuan Dynasty(1271-1368), with its Mongolian rulers having
an influence on the Chinese language. However, siheyuan or quadrangles have probably been around
much longer. The name of a hutong represents its origin, location or history. It is in the gray-tiled deep
lanes that families play, travel, buy goods, gossip and connect. In beijingers"eyes, hutong means a period
of history, a cordial lifestyle and even an "encyclopedia (百科全书) of Beijing".
     When urban construction threatens the existence of these hutongs, Beijingers become worried. Beijing
still has about 400 000 residential quadrangles now, mainly distribute over the East, West, Xuanwu and
Chongwen districts. The municipal government has marked a number of these compounds for protection.

Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal(信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship. Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries -- like the UK or France - people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office. Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary. Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly. People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.
1. In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to__________.

A. By sharing different ways of life. B. By accepting different habits. C. By recognizing different values. D. By speaking each other" s languages.
4. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Multicultural Environment. B. Cross-Cultural Differences. C. How to Understand Each Other. D. How to Build Up a Relationship.

In the last 500 years nothing about people-not their clothes, ideas, or languages has changed as much as what they eat. Chocolate (巧克力) drink was first made from the seeds of the cacao (可可) tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became popular, In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important places. Some still exist today. The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent (依赖的) on it that thousands of Irish people starved (挨饿) when the crop failed during the years of 1845-1846, and thousands more were forced to go to live in America. There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world"s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400s. According to an Arabic story, coffee was discovered when a goat keeper named Lakdi noticed that his goats were eating red fruits on a coffee tree. He tried one and experienced the "wide-awake (彻底清醒的)" feeling that one third of the world"s population now starts the day with.
