听力原文: Hurricane Dennis moved over Key West, the southernmost city in the United States

on Saturday, after causing heavy damage in Cuba. At least 10 people died in Cuba, and at least 10 others have died in Haiti from the storm.

Residents of the Florida Keys breathed a sigh of relief, as a weakened Dennis passed over their homes, bringing heavy rains and high winds, but not the sort of damage seen in Cuba just hours earlier. Key West City Manager Julio Avael says residents of the colorful city have begun cleaning up from the storm.

"Damage is very minimal here in the city of Key West," he said. "We have been very lucky, with just a few trees down. One home was damaged by a tree, and we went in and took out [rescued] an 80-year-old woman. Some of our streets are flooded, but we faring extremely well. We got very lucky last night."

Dennis struck the island of Cuba as a Category Four storm, on a scale of one to five. Winds of 240 kilometers per hour caused extensive damage in southern Cuba, and massive power outages were reported across the island.

While the storm weakened as it passed over Cuba, forecasters say Hurricane Dennis will get stronger as it makes it way north through the Gulf of Mexico. More than 100 offshore oil rigs in the Gulf have been evacuated. Hundreds of thousands of people have been urged to evacuate Gulf coastal areas as far west as Louisiana. Florida Governor Jeb Bush says state authorities are preparing for a major emergency.

"The state of Florida and our federal partners are taking all necessary actions in anticipation of any impact from Hurricane Dennis. And we are, obviously, fully prepared to respond to the needs of all Florldians and our communities."

Last year, four hurricanes struck the state of Florida, killing more than 100 people, and causing billions of dollars in damages.

Before entering the Florida Key West, Hurricane Dennis has caused damage in ______.

A.Mexico

B.Haiti

C.Cuba

D.Columbia

听力原文: The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we imagine. The energy in the heat released by a hurricane's rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6- 12-inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea—the mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.

听力原文:In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical At

听力原文: In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about a half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.

The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances hundreds—even thousands—of miles out to sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried westward by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm, moist air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat that is converted to energy in the form. of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl in a counter-clockwise motion.

Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6- to 12-inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea—the mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.

When is an ordinary tropical storm called a hurricane?

A.When it begins in the Atlantic and Caribbean seas.

B.When it hits the coastline.

C.When it is more than 75 miles wide.

D.When its winds reach 75 miles per hour.

听力原文: The US president' s helicopter flew over the path of the deadly storm in the state of Alabama, where eight teenagers were killed Thursday in the collapse of a high school in the town of Enterprise.

The storm killed two other people in Alabama, nine in the neighboring state of Georgia, and a young girl in Missouri. Fourteen teams of experts from the Federal Emergency Management Agency are evahiating the damage to assess what federal ass/stance might be needed in situations that overwhelm state and local capabilities.

That agency and President Bush were widely criticized for their poor response to Hurricane Katrina in August of 2005, which killed more than 1,800 people along the Gulf Coast. Asked if the president' s decision to visit the tornado- stricken areas Saturday was influenced by the political fall-out from Hurricane Katrina, White House Spokeswoman Dana Perino said that was never part of the discussion.

Traveling with the president, FEMA Director David Panlson stressed how much the response system has changed since Hurricane Katrina, telling reporters that federal officials no longer wait for state and local governments to be overwhelmed before stepping in.

Why are 14 teams of experts from the Federal Emergency Management Agency evaluating the damage?

A.To find out the lost people and animals.

B.To criticize the authority' s poor response.

C.To assess the federal assistance needed.

D.To make clear the investment in agriculture.

听力原文:M: Is that a map? Are you going sailing or something?

W: I wish. It's a hurricane-tracking chart. It's a map of tropical ocean areas southeast of us. It follows the development of tropical storms, even hurricanes. They develop and move around the Atlantic in the Caribbean and here on the Florida coast. We got hit a lot by those at least winds or rain in July or August.

M: Do you think that a tropical storm is on the way?

W: Too early to tell, but we need to be prepared. The radio mentioned possible evacuation routes.

M: Really? It's that serious?

W: Youd better believe it. Late summer is hurricane season. The television updates locations and speeds every hour.

M: What did they say? Is one out there now?

W: A couple of tropical depressions, two storms and two hurricanes.

M: What's the difference?

W: Wind velocity. A depression is the least serious actually, and a hurricane is the most serious.

M: How serious are the winds in hurricanes?

W: They have sustained winds of 74 mph and up.

M: What are the names on the map? David, Arlene, Francisco, and Gina.

W: You know weather forecasters give the hurricanes names of people to make storms easy to identify.

M: I wonder what the status of the storm is now.

W: You shall turn on the television, and it has the best coverage. There is an up-date coming-up in five minutes.

听力原文: Hurricane Lili lashed the Caribbean islands of Little Cayman and Cayman Brac Monday, and a top forecaster worried it might erupt into a major force in the Gulf of Mexico before hitting US shore.

The fourth hmTicane of this year's hurricane season could threaten the Louisiana or upper Texas coast by early Thursday, said Max Mayfield, director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami. Landfall is likely to be between Galveston, Texas, and Mobile, Alabama--possibly around Lake Charles, Louisiana, said CNN meteorologist Chad Myers. That would put it near where Tropical Storm Isidore made landfall a week ago.

Mayfield said it is too early to tell where Lili might come ashore in the United States. Lili was upgraded Monday from a tropical storm to a Category 1 hurricane and its maximum sustained winds have strengthened to 80 mph.

Hurricane Lili

A.threatened US shores.

B.lashed the Louisiana or upper Texas coast.

C.hit the Caribbean islands very close to Miami.
