問題詳情

Generally there are two ways to name typhoons: the number-based convention and the list-basedconvention. Following the number-based convention, typhoons are coded with 31 types of numberssuch as a 4-digit or a 6-digit code. For example, the 14th typhoon in 2003 can be labeled either asTyphoon 0314 or Typhoon 200314. The 32 of this convention, however, is that a number is hard toremember. The list-based convention, on the other hand, is based on the list of typhoon names compiledin advance by a committee, and is more widely used.At the very beginning, only 33 names were used because at that time typhoons were namedafter girlfriends or wives of the experts on the committee. In 1979, however, male names were alsoincluded because women protested against the original naming 34 for reasons of gender equality.In Asia, Western names were used until 2000 when the committee decided to use Asian names to35 Asians’ awareness of typhoons. The names were chosen from a name pool 36 of 140names, 10 each from the 14 members of the committee. Each country has its unique naming preferences.Korea and Japan 37 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 38 . But the names can be changed. If amember country suffers great damage from a certain typhoon, it can 39 that the name of thetyphoon be deleted from the list at the annual committee meeting. For example, the names of Nabi bySouth Korea, and Longwang by China were 40 with other names in 2007. The deletion of bothnames was due to the severe damage caused by the typhoons bearing the names.
