In the northe
18、rn hemisphere, cyclones, called hurricanes or typhoons, blow in an anti-clockwise direction. In the southern hemisphere, these tropical storms are known as cy-clones, whose winds blow in a clockwise direction.Cyclones develop over warm seas near the Equator. Air heated by the sun rises very swiftly
19、creating areas of very low pressure. As the warm air rises, its moisture condenses into massive thun-derclouds. Cool air rushes in to fill the void that is left, but because of the constant turning of the Earth on its axis, the air is bent inwards and then spirals upwards with great force. The swirl
20、ing winds rotate faster and faster, forming a huge circle which can be up to 2, 000 km across. At the centre of the storm is a calm, cloudless area called the eye, with no rain, and fairly light winds. As the cyclone builds up it begins to move, and is sustained by a steady flow of warm, moist air.
21、The strongest winds and heaviest rains are found in the towering clouds which merge into a wall about 20-30 km from the storm s centre. Winds around the eye can reach speeds of up to 200 kin/h, and a fully developed cyclone pumps out about two million tons of air per second. This results in more rai
22、n being released.Cyclones are dangerous for people living around tropical areas. The most destructive force of a cyclone is the fierce winds. These winds are strong enough to topple fences, sheds, trees, power poles and caravans easily. A cyclone typically churns up the sea, causing giant waves and
23、surges of water known as storm surges which rush inland with deadly power, flooding low-lying coastal areas.Fill in each blank in no more than three words according to the passage. What Is a Cyclone?DefinitionLarge circling storms with strong winds blowing around a central area.Location These storms

When I was that age, however, I could not be bothered with such mundane ambition
30、s, I knew exactly what I wanted to do.I was going to have my own zoo. At the time, this did not seem to me, and still does not seem, a very unreasonable idea. My friends and relatives, who had long found me strange because I showed little interest in anything that did not have fur or feathers, accep
31、ted this as just another manifestation of my strangeness. They felt that, if they ignored my often-repeated remarks about owning my own zoo, I would eventually grow out of it.As the years passed, however, to the bewilderment of my friends and relatives, my resolve to have my own zoo grew increasingl
32、y stronger, and eventually, after going on a number of expeditions to bring back animals for other zoos, I felt the time was ripe to acquire my own.From my latest trip to West Africa, I had brought back a considerable collection of animals which were living, temporarily I assured her, in my sisters
33、suburban garden in Bournemouth. After a number of unsuccessful attempts to convince local councils in various areas to support my plans, I began to investigate the possibility of starting my zoo on the island of Jersey in the English Channel.I was given an introduction to a man named Hugh Fraser who
34、, I was told, was a broad-mind-ed, kindly soul. He would show me around the island and point out suitable sites. So, I flew to Jersey and was met by Hugh Fraser who drove us to his family home, probably one of the most beautiful old houses on the island. There was a huge walled garden with lots of o
35、utbuildings all build in the beautiful local stone which was the colour of autumn leaves glowing in the sunshine. Turning to my wife, I said, “What a marvelous place for a zoo!“If my host had promptly fainted on the spot, I could not have blamed him. The thought of creating the average person s idea
36、 of a zoo, with all the grey cement and iron bars, in such a lovely spot was horrible. To my astonishment, however, Hugh Fraser did not faint, but merely cocked an enquiring eyebrow at me and asked whether I really meant what I said. Slightly embarrassed, I re-plied that I had meant it, but added ha
37、stily that I realized that it was impossible. Hugh said he did not think it was as impossible as all that.He went on to explain that the house and grounds were too big for him to keep up as a private individual, and so he wanted to move to a smaller place in England. Would I care to consider renting
38、 the property for the purpose of establishing my zoo? I could not imagine more attractive surroundings for my purpose, and by the time lunch was over, the bargain had been sealed.The alarm displayed by all who knew me when this was announced can only be imagined. The only exception to the general ch
39、orus of disapproval was my sister. Although she thought it a mad scheme, at least it would rid her back garden of the assorted jungle creatures who were beginning to put great strain on her relationship with her neighbours. Answer the questions in maximum of fifteen words.1.How did the writer s frie
40、nds and family react to his childhood ambition?（分数：10.00）_十、Section D(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Cultural Attitudes towards TimeAccording to anthropologist Irving Hallowell, there is no evidence that humans have an inborn sense of time. A person s temporal concepts are probably determined largely by culture. On
41、e study showed that infants, after a few days of listening to speech around them, will move their heads and limbs in rhythm with the speech they hear. As children develop, they adapt more fully to their tem-poral culture. This temporal culture influences language, music, poetry and dance. It also af
42、fects relationships. We tend to get along well with people who share our sense of time.One particular cultural attitude towards time is found in polychronie cultures. Some Mediterra-nean and southwest Asian Cultures are usually placed in this category. Such cultures emphasise re-lationships among pe
43、ople, flexible timing of appointments, and the careful completion of processes rather than strict schedules. Polychronic people seldom feel that time is being wasted. They tend to consider each activity valuable on its own, not just as part of a larger process.Polychronic people tend to have many pr
44、ojects going on at the same time, and they may shift frequently from one task to another. They change plans often. For polychronic people, work time is not clearly separable from personal time, so business meetings are considered a form of socialising.Monochronic cultures, on the other hand, are ori
45、ented towards tasks and schedules. Cultures usually considered monochromic can be found in northern Europe, North America, and some parts of eastern Asia.Monoehronie people feel that time is tangible and inflexible and that “ time is money. “ They do one thing at a time and concentrate on each thing
46、. Time and job commitments are very important to them and they tend to follow plans rigidly. Also, monochromic people clearly sep-arate their work and personal time, and they place a high value on privacy.As you might expect, people from polyehronic and monochromic cultures often misunderstand each
47、other because of their different senses of time. For example, because a monochromic culture is highly compartmentalized, monochromic people tend to sequence conversations as well as tasks. They would not, for instance, interrupt a phone call in order to greet another person who just came into the room In
