Nice Name But She's So Deadly
(1) More than a million people in the United States were told to leave their homes over the
weekend as Hurricane (飓风) Dennis headed to the Gulf coast, after killing at least 15
people in the Caribbean Sea.
(2) If you read the news often enough, you may notice that all hurricanes are given names.
Why is that? Remember, there can be more than one hurricane operating at one time.
Without naming them, we could get confused about which storm we're talking about.
(3) For hundreds of years, hurricanes in the Caribbean were named after the particular
religious day on which they occurred. One Australian meteorologist (气象学家) began
giving women's names to tropical storms at the end of the 19th century. In 1953, the US
National Weather Service, which is responsible for tracking hurricanes and issuing
warnings, began using female names for storms. By 1979, both women and men's names
were being used. One name for each letter of the alphabet (字母表) is selected, except for
Q, U and Z.
(4) So who decides which names are used each year? The World Meteorological
Organization uses six lists in rotation, so each list is reused every six years.
(5) Here's a list of the 2005 Atlantic hurricanes, according to the US National Hurricane
Centre: Arlene, Bret, Cindy, Dennis, Emily, Franklin, Gert, Harvey, Irene, Jose, Katrina,
Lee, Maria,Nate, Ophelia, Philippe, Rita, Stan, Tammy, Vince, Wilma.

第二段没有明确的段落主题句。主要讲的是 ：如果你经常读报纸，会发现每个飓风都有名字。为什么呢?因为同一时期，有可能会有一个以上的飓风在起作用。如果不给它们命名，就会搞不清楚到底在谈论哪个飓风。故A(给飓风命名的原因)为正确答案。
