She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.“What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a …”“Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.”“We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation… ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.One day I found myself in the same situation. The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title.“What is your occupation?” she asked.The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.I repeated the title slowly, and then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “Just what you do in this field?”Coolly, without any trace of panic(恐慌) in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn’t), in the lab and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (依托) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants---ages 13, 7, and 3.Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6 month old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern.I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”Motherhood…What a glorious career! Especially when there’s a title on the door.56. What can we infer from the conversation between the woman and the recorder at the beginning of the passage?A. The woman felt ashamed to admit what her job was.B. The recorder was impatient and rude.C. The author was upset about the situation that mothers faced.D. Motherhood was not recognized and respected as a job by society.57. How did the female clerk feel at first when the author told her occupation?A. curiousB. puzzledC. Indifferent(冷漠的)D. interested58. How did the author feel when describing her job to the clerk?A. calmB. panic-strickenC. confidentD. proud59. Why did the woman clerk show more respect for the author?A. Because the author cared little about rewards.B. Because she admired the author’s research work in the lab.C. Because she thought the author did admirable work.D. Because the writer did something she had little knowledge of.60. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To show how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it.B. To argue that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect.C. To show that the author had a grander job than Emily.D. To show that being a mother is hard and boring work.BThe first time that I had heard the term “EQ” was in the fall of 1995 when the book Emotional Intelligence,by Daniel Goleman,was widely covered by the American press. The widespread research presented in the book supported my own observations and doubts about life and emotions,and told me that I was on the right track to go after happiness. The research continues to confirm what I had concluded on my own: These feelings are extremely important to individual health,happiness,and social harmony. This might seem a bit obvious,but it was not always obvious to me.I grew up in a family where we didn’t talk about feelings. We talked about ideas,concepts and principles. As a result,I could tell you what I thought about everything,but I couldn’t tell you how I felt about anything. After several failed relationships,I took time off to reflect on my life and realized I had made many decisions which resulted in unhappiness for myself and others. After studying the literature on emotions and feelings,I concluded that most of my poor decisions could be directly due to what is now called low emotional intelligence,or low EQ,for short. Previously,I struggled to find happiness through the traditional routes—material success. Now,however,I realize that:There’s not much point having either wealth or relationships if you aren’t happy.It is hard to be happy with others if you aren’t happy yourself.It is hard to be happy alone if you don’t feel good about yourself,i.e. have high selfesteem and selfconfidence.It is hard to have good feelings about yourself if you don’t have good emotional management skills.Emotional management skills,the main subject of EQ,are,therefore,one of the most basic elements of happiness.61.The author’s views and ideas about life were exactly proved by ________.A.the widespread reports in American newspapersB.own observations and doubts about life and emotionsC.ideas and views in the book Emotional IntelligenceD.the fact that he was on the right track to go after happiness62.The author’s family members ________.A.are wise and hardworking B.are wealthy and strongC.are not good at expressing their own feelings D.get along badly with each other 63.Before reading the book,the author thought he could have happiness ________.A.if he could earn a lot of money B.if he could avoid poor decisionsC.if he took time off to reflect on his life D.if he ignored the traditional routes64.A person who can’t feel happy himself ________.A.will feel happy with lots of friends B.will not get on well with othersC.has no selfesteem at all D.should read the new book on EQ 65.Loneliness most probably comes from ________.A.lack of wealth and health B.lack of the presence of othersC.lack of good relationships with others D. lack of selfconfidence and selfesteemCPeople say teenagers are no good. They make too much noise in shopping malls; they drive recklessly(不顾一切地)up and down America’s main streets; they carry chips on their shoulders as big as the Sears Tower. And at least some of the time those things are true. But we shouldn’t forget that there are hard moments in the life of a teenager too.I watched such a moment not long ago at a woman’s funeral. I didn’t expect the event to affect me. Through much of the ceremony, in fact, I remained unmoved.The teenage grandson stepped forward. With his very first deep breath, every heart in that church was achingly reminded of something we had all forgotten. Softly he began: “I want to share a few values that Nana taught me. She never failed to see light in any situation. When our family dog would truly attract her, what would Nana say? ‘oh, what beautiful barking that dog has!’ That was Nana. ”“She was a strong woman who often lived in the shadow of my grandpa, who was a successful businessman in this city. But she was the one behind the scenes who provided the strength and support for my grandpa’s career,” he said, with a voice now trembling, “That was Nana’s way.”Through a low sob, he continued, “Whenever she did anything worth recognition, you’d have to hear about it from a different source, because she was never one to show off.”Finally, in a voice breaking free of sorrow, he looked up and said, “Nana taught me courage. She put up an incredible fight to the end, when she died peacefully, which is how she lived her life. That was Nana’s way, and I hope I can carry on in the same manner.”There are no hearts as sensitive as those of teenagers, because everything is happening to them for the first time. The trouble with teenagers is that they haven’t learned to be controlled.When that boy rose to speak about the woman who surely had been his truest and dearest friend, his honest voice dragged each of us out into the open where we could no longer hide in the calm ceremony . He exposed us to the truth about this very real woman who believed in a boy who probably tried the patience of many adults. He reminded us that his grandmother was more than another dot on the chart of life and death.All over again we felt those powerful losses crossing our own hearts, and we knew that when you say good-bye to something happy, something young in yourself. And that something never really returns, and the pain never really goes away.66. In the first paragraph, the writer gave some examples to_____.A. support his idea that young people are no good.B. introduce his point of view about young people.C. tell people every coin has its two sides.D. young people often make mistakes.67. From the boy’s speech, we know _____.A. his grandmother had great influence on him.B. they had a dog which often attacked peopleC. people had forgotten her until the boy appeared..D. his grandmother was so weak that she is always living in the shadow of his grandpa68. Which of the following statements is true?A. The boy’s speech moved no one present at the funeral except the writer.B. The boy’s being good at expressing himself enabled him to draw everyone’s attention.C. The boy was too grieved to accept the fact that his grandmother had passed away.D. The writer didn’t expect the event would affect him.69. What words can best describe grandmother’s quality?A. weak, mild and modest.B. easygoing, cautious and considerateC. sensitive and hard on others. D, patient, optimistic, strong and helpful.70. The passage tells the readers____.A. facing certain bitter facts help young people to grow.B. young people have to control themselvesC. the adults should learn from the young.D. the adults should teach the young how to be bravePart Ⅰ Writing(45 marks)Section A(10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.Teamwork is the process of a group of people working together in order to achieve a goal. It is an essential part of any business.First and the most important, a team must have been communicated to them a clear goal to work towards. Poor communication may lead to unsatisfactory results. A strong team will also include a mixture of people, with different academic backgrounds and skills. The team must be able to talk openly and honestly to each other, sharing ideas and making suggestions while listening to and understanding what others have to say.While many employees are able to perform important functions on their own, working as a team brings a wide range of talents and resources to a project that would be almost impossible for just one person to match. Ideas on the project itself and how to achieve its goals can be exchanged, and new points of view voiced, which would be difficult to achieve with just one person, who may be firmly fixed on one perspective (思考方法), thus lowering the quality of the results .Because a team is a group of people, each with their own opinions and personalities, conflicts can and do arise. If not acted upon swiftly and effectively, this can lower morale (士气) in the team and reduce productivity, affecting the quality of results achieved. A team can also take longer than an individual to achieve a goal, as organizing a team often requires considerable preparation.Having a good team working on a project ensures that the task will be dealt with thoroughly and this means the goal will be achieved with a very high quality. A good team will also create trust and confidence, both in themselves and one another. And this will benefit both the individuals and the companyTitle: 71. _____________Indian’s snake charmers are to be retrained as wildlife teachers under a plan to prevent their unique skills and knowledge from being lost. The charmers, who make snakes dance to the sound of flutes, used to be a traditional feature of Indian life,performing in towns and villages,until they were banned in 1972 to control the trade in snake skins.The government is now considering a plan to train the saperas, as they are known,to visit schools and zoos to tell children about forests and wildlife. There is also a proposal to set up a “dial a snake charmer” service to help householders to deal with unwelcome intruders.“For generations they have been a feature of Indian life but now they can’t earn a living for fear of arrest,”said Behar Dutt, a conservationist behind the plans,“if a policeman doesn’t catch them, animal rights activists report them.”Many snake charmers have continued to work clandestinely(暗中地) since the ban,despite the threat of up to three years in jail. But their trademark cloth-covered baskets,hung from a bamboo pole carried across their shoulders,make them an easy target for police.The fate of Shisha Nath, 56, from Badarpur,a village just outside of New Delhi,is typical of practitioners(从业者) of the dying art. “I used to earn enough to support my family and send my children to school,” he said. “Now it’s hard to earn even $1 a day. My children want to be snake charmers. It’s our identity. We love the work. But it’s become impossible.”Next month Dutt’s project to train 30 snake charmers will begin at a snake park in Pune, western India, where experts will enrich their home-grown skills with some formal knowledge.More than the law,though,it is the dishonest attitudes of their fellow countrymen that anger many snake charmers.“We’re disturbed all the time but when people want a snake removed from the house,they rush to us,”said Prakash Nath, who was ordered recently to the home of Sonia Gandhi,the Congress party leader.81. What do snake charmers usually do in India?(no more than 8 words) (2 marks)82. How long will a saperas be in prison if he is caught during the ban?(no more than 3 words)84. According to the passage,what will make snake charmers angry?(no more than 11 words) (3 marks)Section C (25 marks)Directions : Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese and English .请你用表格中所给的关键词写一篇关于“考试作弊”的议论文。

Greyhounds are good at fast races but not long-distance running. They do need regular exercise but they like to run for a short burst and then get back onthe bed or a comfortable seat. Another misunderstanding is that greyhounds must be aggressive(好斗的) because they are big in size. In fact greyhounds love people and are gentle with children.Greyhounds can live for 12 –14 years but usually only race for two or three years, and after that they make great pets. They don’t need a lot of space, don’t make a lot of noise, and don’t eat a lot for their size.Normally, greyhounds can be as tall as 90 cm. There is, however, a small-sized greyhound, which stands only 33cm. Greyhounds come in a variety of colors. Grey and yellowish-brown arethe most common. Others include black, white, blue, red and brown or a mix of these.Greyhounds have smooth body coats, low body fat and are very healthy. Because they’re slim (苗条的) they don’t have the leg problems like other dogs the same height. But they do feel the cold, especially since they would much rather be at home in bed than walking around outside.56. The text is written mainly______.A. to tell people how to raise greyhoundsB. to let people know more about greyhoundsC. to explain why greyhounds are aggressiveD. to describe greyhounds of different colors57. It can be inferred that greyhounds_______.A. love big doghousesB. like staying in bed all dayC. make the best guard dogsD. need some exercise outdoors58. Why does the author say that greyhounds make great pets?A. They are big in size.B. They live a very long life.C. They can run races for some time.D. They are quiet and easy to look after.59. If you keep a pet greyhound, it is important________.A. to keep it slimB. to keep it warmC. to take special care of its legsD. to take it to animal doctors regularlyBMany years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station(加油站)about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's .We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery(电池)was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership - a shop selling cars - was right next door. I walked over andfound two salesmen in the showroom."Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?" I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said."Thank you" - two powerful words. They're easy to say and mean so much.60. The author planned to stop at Oklahoma City_________.A. to visit a friendB. to see his parentsC. to pay at the cash registerD. to have more gas for his car61. The words “took off”underlined in Paragraph 2 mean “______”.A. turned offB. moved offC. put upD. set up62. What happened when the author found smoke coming out of his car?A. He had it pulled back to the gas station.B. The couple sent him a business card.C. The couple offered to help him.D. He called his friend for help.63. The battery of the author’s car was dead because_______.A. something went wrong with the lightsB. the meeting lasted a whole dayC. he forgot to turn off the lightsD. he drove too long a distance64. By telling his own experiences, the author tries to show______.A. how to write a thank-you letterB. how to deal with car problemsC. the kind-heartedness of older peopleD. the importance of expressing thanksCA study of English learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 foreign students. It shows that most students considered understanding spoken English to be their biggest problem on arrival. This was followed by speaking. Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they were now expected to hand in. Reading remained as a significant(显著的) problem.The information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation(动机), we considered it important to note what seemed to encourage interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching in their own country. To use the same method would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation, especially if it has failed in the past. Therefore a different method may help because it is different.V ariety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining(保持) or increasing motivation. Several years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about halfway through the ten weeks. This led us to a major re-think, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students.65. What is the text mainly about?A. Foreign students have more problems.B. There are many ways to improve English.C. Teaching should meet students’needs.D. English learning problems should be studied again.66. Writing became a bigger problem when foreign students________.A. had to write their papersB. became better at speakingC. became less interested in readingD. had fewer problems with listening67. We may infer from the last two paragraphs that ________.A. different teaching methods should be usedB. grammar-based teaching seems to be encouragingC. English courses are necessary for foreign studentsD. teaching content should be changed halfway.68.The word “it”underlined in the last paragraph refers to “______________”.A. re-thinkB. activityC. motivationD. timetableDSince my retirement(退休) from teaching music in 2001, I have spent a good deal of time painting as an artist. I actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died,so perhaps I was trying to recover from the loss of my father, or maybe it was just that it brought back memories of him. In any case, I drew pen and ink animals and landscapes(风景画) much influenced(影响) by Krenkel and St. John for five years.For some strange reason, I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors again, but as soon as I walked out of the school door for the last time I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew Wyeth, who quickly became my favorite artist. I had looked through all theart books I had on my shelves and found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought good watercolors should look. So I painted landscapes around Minnesota for three years and tried out many other types of painting. However, watercolors remained my first choice, and I think I did my best work there, showing my paintings at a number of art exhibitions.Art is now together with my piano playing and reading. There is a time for everything in my world, and it is wonderful to have some time doing what I want to do. As Confucius once said,“At seventy I can follow my heart’s desire.”69. What is the text mainly about?A. Learning to paint in later life.B. How to paint watercolorsC. An artist-turned teacherD. Life after retirement70. The author started drawing again in 1995 because_________.A. he hoped to draw a picture of his fatherB. he couldn’t stop missing his fatherC. he had more time after retirementD. he liked animals and landscapes71. We can infer from the text that the author__________.A. had been taught by Krenkel and St. JohnB. painted landscapes in Minnesota for 5 yearsC. believed Wyeth to be the best in watercolorsD. started his retirement life at the age of seventy72. How does the author probably feel about his life as an artist?A. Very enjoyable.B. A bit regretfulC. Rather busy.D. Fairly dull.EPhillip Island Penguins(企鹅)The Little Penguin has called Phillip Island home for untold generations.

Everyone in business has been told that success is all about attracting and retaining (留住) customers. It sounds simple and achievable. But, 1 , words of wisdom are soon forgotten. Once companies have attracted customers they often 2 the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the competition, negotiating prices, securing orders, and delivering the product, managers tend to become carried away. They forget what they regard as the boring side of business― 3 that the customer remains a customer. 4 to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually. It has been estimated that the average company loses between 10 and 30 per cent of its customers every years. In constantly changing 5 , this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost. Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to those lost opportunities and calculate the 6 implications. Cutting down the number of customers a company loses can make a big 7 in its performance. Research in the US found that a five per cent decrease in the number of defecting (流失的) customers led to 8 increases of between 25 and 85 per cent. In the US, Domino’s Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5,000 over ten years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or service on their first visit and 9 never returns, is losing the company thousands of dollars in 10 profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience). The logic behindcultivating customer 11 is impossible to deny. “In pract ice most companies’ marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with little attention paid to 12 them”, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University’ School of Management. “Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits. 13 customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price 14 , and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it 15 for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market. 1.A. in particular B. in reality C. at least D. first of all 2.A. emphasize B. doubt C. overlook D. believe 3.A. denying B. ensuring C. arguing D. proving 4.A. Moving B. Hoping C. Starting D. Failing 5.A. markets B. tastes C. prices D. expenses 6.A. culture B. social C. financial D. economical 7.A. promise B. plan C. mistake D. difference 8.A. cost B. opportunity C. profit D. budget 9.A. as a result B. on the whole C. in conclusion D. on the contrary10.A. huge B. potential C. extra D. reasonable 11.A. beliefsB. loyaltyC. habitsD. interest 12.A. altering B. understanding C. keeping D. attracting 13.A.

Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE words for each answer.The art of growing dwarf (short) trees, or “bonsai” as their Japanese planters call them, is increasing in popularity in the United States. Growing bonsai can make a fascinating hobby for anyone who enjoys plants and creating beautiful effects with them. However, how can we meet the goal of making such a kind of art? This maybe is the problem for many of us. There are, in fact, four important guidelines to follow in growing bonsai. First, one must be careful in choosing the type of tree. Not all species of trees can be made into bonsai, since the growing conditions are unusual. Second, one must be careful in choosing the size of the container the bonsai will be in. This is necessary because the major g rowth of bonsai is kept confined to the tree’s trunk and leaves, not its root system. Another thing the bonsai-grower must do is to trim (修整) the roots and branches of the tree periodically (定期地). Unless this is done, the plants will look unnatural. The Japanese ideal for bonsai is not to have the proper proportions and will have trees which are just like normal trees in everything, but in small size. The last thing one must do is to be careful to keep the miniature (small) tree well-watered, or it will die. As one can see from above, the art of bonsai-growing is one which requires a certain amount of time and effort. The satisfactions that growing bonsai brings can be great, however. Imagine having such a tree in your living room and passing it down through several generations of your family. That is exactly what bonsai-growing is all about: establishing a tradition of beauty which lasts for years and years and is a symbol of the beauties of the natural world.Title: 71. ___________72. _________ To teach people how to grow bonsai73. ___________ making a hobby; creating beautiful effects74. _______________ bonsai:①The type of trees:75. __________ of trees can’t be made into bonsai②The size of the container: 76. __________ is confined to its trunk and leaves③77. __________ It will make the plants look 78. _________.④Enough water It keeps the plants 79. _________.80. ________ Bonsai-growing establishes a tradition of natural lasting beauty.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.In 1901, the citizens of Colorado Springs in the USA decided to collect everyday items and to seal (密封) them in a steel box. The box was marked “To be opened after midnight, December 31st , AD2000”, and was stored in the Colorado College library.One hundred years later, on the appointed day, 300 people gathered to watch the opening of the box. Many in the crowd were the descendants (后代) of people who had placed things inside the box.When the box was opened after midnight, the contents were in very good condition. There were newspapers, photographs, diaries, name cards, family trees, books and dozens of letters, including one written by Theodore Roosevelt, who became the President of the USA later that year. One of Roosevelt's friends lived in Colorado Springs at that time.Many of the letters were addressed to their descendants. They describe the hopes that people of 1901 had for the people of the next century. At that time, Colorado Springs had just a few thousand residents, Now nearly half a million people live there.Colorado College Library has scanned the material and put them on a website. Cecil Muller, whose grandfather had placed a collection of postcards in the box, said that the time capsule was a great treasure. “This is a wonderful educational resource. We can learn so much about our history,” he said. “I never knew my grandfather, but now I feel very close to him.”In April 2001, a committee filled the time capsule with items from modem Colorado Springs and resealed it for another hundred years.81. According to the passage, when was the box opened? (no more than 5words)_____________________________82. What did many of the letters in the box talk about? (no more than 5words)_______________________________.83. What does the “time capsule” refer to according to the context in the passage?___________________________________________________________________.84. What can be concluded from Cecil Muller’s words?___________________________________________________________________.

Theycan look for someone who has blue eyes,brown hair, and is 1.8 meters tall,or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list.At this Paris location single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between 6:30 and 9:00 P.m. When they walk through the door,they pick up a purple basket to advise that they are looking for love.They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly, and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles(过道).With purple baskets in hand,shoppers can consider their romantic options while they pick out their groceries.

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 or 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 used 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 tile 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 severe damage caused by the typhoons bearing the names.66.With the number-based method,the 3rd typhoon in 2012 can be named.A.Typhoon 0314 B.Typhoon 0312C.Typhoon 201214 D.Typhoon 120367.In 1979 male names began to be used for typhoons because。
