Typhoon hits Guangdong Province
A typhoon lashed southern China on Thursday with strong winds and heavy rain, killing two people. The typhoon hit the coastal areas of Guangdong Province at 1 ：45 p. m. on Thursday, with wind speeds up to 126 kilometers per hour. It came as the nation was still fighting its worst flooding in 10 years, which is expected to continue as the typhoon season gains pace.
The Guangdong provincial flood-control headquarter said that the typhoon had caused economic losses of more than two billion yuan in the province, damaging more than 2,000 houses and thousands of vehicles.
The strong winds, up to 35 meters a second, blew down many trees and billboards in the urban areas, paralyzing（使瘫痪）local traffic. Electricity, telecommunications and water services were cut in some areas. A local resident said he saw the raincoats of many pedestrians lifted by the gale（大风）,while many umbrellas were blown away. Two people were killed by the stomi in the western part of the province.
Before this typhoon, the province had already been plagued by torrential rain （暴雨）and subsequent flooding, which has killed hundreds of people over the past several weeks and caused dozens of rivers and lakes across the region to reach clanger levels.
Meteorologists （气象学家）forecast that six to eight major typhoons are expected in the coming months and told people to avoid unnecessary trips outdoors until the all-clear is given.
In order to prepare for the typhoons, the government issued emergency notices to its subordinate（下属的）departments, urging them to take effective measures to protect people's lives and try to keep economic losses to a minimum. Priorities have been given to protect agriculture, reservoirs, dams, and coastal and river dikes in the flood-hit cities. More than 30,000 boats were required to return to ports to avoid the disaster while over 7,000 fishennen were evacuated（疏散）to safety areas. At least 26 flights have been canceled at the airport. The airports promised to make appropriate arrangements and care for those stranded（滞留）passengers. They might take trains or the coaches to their destinations.
6.The province is easily hit by typhoon, torrential rain and subsequent flooding.
A、True
B、False
C、Not Given
【正确答案】：C
【题目解析】：题干要求判断广东省是否容易遭到台风、暴雨和随之而来的洪灾的侵害。文中与题干形似的第四段第一句话指出 “Before this typhoon, the province had already been plagued by torrential rain and subsequent flooding”,即“在这次台风之前，广东省下了暴雨并发生了洪灾”，并没有具体指出广东省容易遭到这些恶劣天气的侵害。所以无法判断题干中的信息是否正确。
