听力训练听力原文：
The Dutch king has revealed that for more than two decades, he has held down a part-time second job alongside his royal duties. King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands said that he recently ended his role as a regular “guest pilot” after 21 years with the national airline’s fleet of now-outdated aircraft. As a guest flier, the king worked about twice a month, always as co-pilot. He will now retrain to fly the bigger Boeing 737s as the old planes are being phased out of service. The 50-year-old father of three and king to 17 million Dutch citizens calls flying a “hobby.” It lets him leave his royal duties on the ground and fully focus on something else. “You have an aircraft, passengers and crew. You have responsibility for them,” the king said. “You can’t take your problems from the ground into the skies. You can completely change focus and concentrate on something else. That, for me, is the most relaxing part of flying.” Willem-Alexander said he is rarely recognised by passengers. Very few people pay attention to him as he walks through the airport in his airline uniform and cap.
Questions 1 to 3 are based on the news report you have just heard.
1.What does the report say about the Dutch king？
A) He owns a fleet of aircraft.
B) He is learning to be a pilot.
C) He regards his royal duties as a burden.
D) He held a part-time job for over 20 years.
2.Why does the king say he likes flying？

3.What does the king say about passengers at the airport？
A) They enjoyed his company.
B) They liked him in his uniform.
C) They rarely recognised him.

Typhoon台风
Some of the worst storms are typhoons. Every year, about 80 typhoons hit different places around the world. The strongest ones are usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. Most of them happen in July, August and September.
Why? When lots of seawater gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates into the air. This makes the air hotter, too. When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into the sky. Then, cooler air around it rushes in to fill the space that is left. Once the air gets warmer, it starts to move more quickly, making wind. The wind goes in circles, and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. And when the wind moves faster than 30 meters a second, a typhoon begins.
译文:
一些最严重的风暴是台风。每年大约有 80次台风袭击世界各地。最强的通常在太平洋 和南海周围，其中大多 数发生在七月、八月和九月. .为什么?当许多海水 在夏天的阳光下变热时，它就会燕发到空气中。这也使空气更热。当空气变得足够温暖时，它开始向天空移动。然后， 周围凉爽的空气冲进来，填补了剩下的空间，一旦空气变暖， 它就开始移动得更快，产生风。风是绕 着圈转的，它在天空中不断地向上移动。空气越暖， 风就越快。当风每秒移动速度超过 30米时，台风就开始了。
