Categories(类别)of Hurricanes
There are five categories of hurrlcanes, which are based on wind speeds. The categories help people know how much damage(危害)a hurricane may cause because the greater the wind speed，the more dangerous the storm．For example，a Category 5 hurricane has winds over 155 miles per hour，which are strong enough to destroy the buildings along the shorelines completely．
Hurricane Dangers
When a hurricane happens together with heavy rainfall，there can be a devastating flood．The centre of a hurricane is called the eye．While most of a hurricane has dangerously strong winds，the eye is actually(事实上)a calm area in the storm．When the eye of a hurricane passes over land，people might think that it’s over，but before long the wind and rain increase again as the second part of the hurricane moves through．

【小题10】or／otherwise- 试题分析：这篇短文讲述了飓风的特点，种类，以及飓风所带来的损害，最后作者提出了几个怎样应对飓风的小建议。
【小题1】这句话是在说，在大西洋区域，飓风季节通常持续6个月，在太平洋区域是6个月半。Last，动词，表示持续的意思。根据句意，故填last。
【小题2】根据短文第一句话“You may already know that hurricanes are storms that can cause devastating(毁灭性的)waves，wind，and rain．（飓风会引起毁灭性的巨浪，大风和大雨是飓风所带来的结果）。”可知，两者是因果关系，毁灭性的巨浪，大风和大雨是飓风所带来的结果。故填results。
【小题3】本句的句意是根据风速，飓风可以被分成5个种类。Divide，动词，分种类的意思；根据句意，这里是divide的被动式，divided。
【小题4】句意：根据短文第二段，第五种飓风类型时速155英里/时，足够可以摧毁海岸线的所有建筑。Building，名词，建筑的意思。
【小题5】根据该空右边表格里的内容，可知这是在讲述飓风所带来的危害。Danger，名词，危害；这里讲述的不是一种危害，故用danger的复数形式，在词尾加s。
【小题6】该句句意是，当飓风伴随着暴雨来临时，一场可怕的洪水就有可能会发生。Flood，名词，洪水。根据句意，故填Flood。
【小题7】句意：风眼是飓风的中心。当风眼过后不就，风和雨就会再次加重。centre／center，名词，中心。
【小题8】根据Hurricane Safety Tips（飓风安全小贴士）一栏，“There is no way to stop a hurricane or make it change direction（没有什么方式能够阻止飓风或者改变方向）。”可知，本处需要填一个否定词，impossible，形容词，不可能的，符合题意。
【小题9】Forget，动词，忘记。本句句意为，如果你发觉你要遇上飓风时，不要忘记这些安全建议。
【小题10】句意：当暴风雨来临时，待在室内，否则你将会受重伤的。根据句意，本题是要填一个转折词，or／otherwise，否则，正符合题意。
