The FIFA World Cup Trophy（獎杯） is arguably one of the most iconic prizes in the sporting world.So far，two different trophies have been used in the history of the FIFA World Cups.
   The Jules Rimet Trophy was the first trophy awarded to the winners of the FIFA World Cups.Initially，the old trophy was originally named "Victory"" However，this trophy was renamed "the Jules Rimet Trophy" in 1946.This change was made to honor former FIFA president Jules Rimet，who voted to organize the first FIFA World Cup in 1930.French sculptor Abel Lafleur designed the trophy in 1930.The trophy was 14 inches in height and weighed 8.4 pounds.It was comprised of a winged representation of Nike，the Greek Goddess of Victory and was inspired by the Nike of Samothrace statue.
   Uruguay became the first champion and kept the trophy in 1930.The trophy was eventually retired when Brazil won the World Cup final for the third time in 1970.Following their success in Mexico，Brazil was allowed to keep the trophy permanently.However，the original trophy was stolen for a second time in I 983.It was never recovered，and it was claimed that it had been melted down into gold bars.Following the retirement of the Jules Rimet Trophy，F(xiàn)IFA needed a new cup.Eventually，Italian artist Silvio Gazzaniga's design was selected as the new World Cup trophy.
   The modern FIFA World Cup trophy describes two human figures holding the earth on top of their heads.The base of the trophy has "FIFA World Cup" engraved （刻） .Furthermore，following every World Cup，the name of the winning team and the winning year is also engraved at the base.The trophy weighs 13.61 pounds.Unlike the Jules Rimet Trophy，the winning nations and future winners don't get to hold the original trophy anymore.The new regulations state that it remains in FIFA's possession.Instead，winners are given a gold-plated bronze replica （青銅復(fù)制品） provided by FIFA.West Germany was the first nation to lift the modern World Cup trophy in 1974.

1．    Forecasters say Floridians should monitor a system likely to become a tropical depression（熱帶低壓）as it moves into the Gulf of Mexico by early next week.
   The area of low pressure over the northwestern Caribbean Sea was producing showers and thunderstorms，according to a Friday evening update from the National Hurricane Center.Condition s favor slow development over the next several days，and forecasters expect the system will become a tropical depression early next week while moving north over the eastern Gulf of Mexico.
   Michael Brennan，the National Hurricane Center director，said in a live video Friday， "There is a lot of uncertainty with this system since it's yet to take shape.What we're most confident in is that there will likely be some rainfall impacts across much of the Florida Peninsula and possibly up along the southeast coast of the United States."
   The potential threat for Florida would come around on Tuesday，said Brian McNoldy，a researcher at the University of Miami.McNoldy added that global models were in agreement that the system would develop slowly.The hurricane center on Friday gave the system the temporary name of Invest 93 L，meaning forecasters would collect specialized data and run more models.
   According to Mark Luther，a professor at the University of South Florida，tropical systems like to feed off that hot water，especially when it's hot below the surface like it is now. "Keep a sharp eye on it and have your hurricane plan in place，" Luther said. "Even if it's a small storm，if it hits at the right angle，it can cause flooding around here."
   Storms that cross through this steamy section of the eastern Gulf of Mexico have historically intensified（增強(qiáng)）quickly.Hurricane Michael in 2018 emerged off the Yucatán Peninsula before ultimately making landfall as a Category 5 storm in Florida's Panhandle.

（1）What did Brennan think would most likely happen next week？

A．Water shortage.
B．Severe damage.
C．Fine weather.
D．Heavy rainfall.
（2）What did Luther probably expect people to do？

A．Ask for clear guidance.
B．Be watchful about possible disasters.
C．Make a quick decision.
D．Send relief to flood victims at once.
（3）Why does the author mention Hurricane Michael？

A．To express his heartfelt thanks for the rescue effort.
B．To erase scientists' doubts about these global models.
C．To prove the weather forecast is timely and accurate.
D．To explain the tropical system may bring heavy storm.
（4）What is the text？

A．A news report.
B．A diary entry.
C．A children's story.
D．A research paper.
