　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　(2017·山东省日照市联考)

　　At least 3 people are dead in the Philippines now that Typhoon Hagupit has landed.

　　The typhoon, which hit the eastern Philippines over the weekend, has blown down trees and sent more than 650­thousand people into shelters before weakening.

　　“There were very strong winds last night. The roof was beginning to move, and rain was getting inside the room，” said a villager.

　　The storm hit with gusts(强风) of over 100­miles per hour.

　　And while the storm has slowed considerably, from the Super Typhoon level it had last week, Hagupit still remains strong enough to create more damage.

　　Christopher Perez is a local weather forecaster.

　　“We are continuing to expect bad weather and rough ocean waves. Threats of possible flash floods and landslides(泥石流) as well as possible storm waves occurring in coastal areas.”

　　Hagupit is expected to roll into the South China Sea tomorrow.

　　It's currently going a westward toward the southern tip of Vietnam, meaning it's unlikely to affect China.

　　Hagupit's strength in the Philippines is much less severe than Typhoon Haiyan, which rolled through the country last year.

　　Haiyan's tsunami­like storm waves and killer winds left thousands of people dead and leveled_entire_villages.
