How a typhoon gets its name
In the old days, every country had a different system for naming typhoons. Therefore, a typhoon
that hit several different countries might have different names.
In 2000, 14 countries and regions in the Pacific Region began to use a new system for naming
typhoons. Each of the countries and regions offered ten names. These could be names of men,
women, flowers, animals, trees or even food items. Whenever a new typhoon arises, it is given the
next name on the list. When the end of the list is reached, the same names are used over again.

二、阅读理解 阅读下列短文，然后根据内容选择最佳答案。
Long ago, one of the most common animals on Earth was the dinosaur. However, they died
out suddenly. There are two main theories as to why this happened.
关注更新免费领取，淘宝唯一每月更新店铺:知二教育关注更新免费领取，淘宝唯一每月更新店铺:知二教育
The first is that volcanoes killed the dinosaurs. Around the same time that dinosaurs died out,
many volcanoes developed in a large area which is now central India. These volcanoes poured a
lot of smoke and gas into the atmosphere .This caused the temperature of the Earth to drop by two
degrees. Some scientists believe this may be why dinosaurs died out.
However, most scientists do not support this theory. Instead, they believe that an asteroid
killed the dinosaurs, along with most other lives on Earth. In 1990, scientists discovered a large
crater in Mexico that was made by an asteroid. The crater is more than 180 kilometres wide. It
could not be seen on a map because it was covered by soil for many centuries. This crater was
there since the time that dinosaurs disappeared. The asteroid that made this crater was thought to
be at least 10 kilometres wide. It probably caused huge tsunamis that flooded the Earth, along with
many earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Finally, it would have set up so much dust and smoke
into the atmosphere that the sky would have turned black. For years, it would have been difficult
for plants to grow or for animals to live in this environment. Creatures as large as most dinosaurs
had no chance.
This is why so many scientists today are frightened about another asteroid hitting the earth. If
a 10-kilometre-wide asteroid did hit the Earth, most people would die. A few people might live,
but their lives would be very different from the ones they lead now—their lives would be full of
great suffering and difficulty.

2. One of the main theories as to why dinosaurs died out?

A. It is 180 kilometres. B It is over 180 kilometres.
