Battle the wave Hong Kong is racing against time to contain its worst-ever COVID-19 outbreak.

   The COVID-19 surge is driven primarily by the Omicron variant，reported the ASEAN post.The first local Omicron cases were linked to two Cathay Pacific crew members who broke Hong Kong's COVID-19 rules and tested positive later in December 2021.Then many new cases increased.
   Population density （密度） and mass movements during Spring Festival are the main transmission factors for this wave of the pandemic，David Lam，a member of HKSAR's Legislative Council told Xinhua.
Although Hong Kong authorities have reacted since the pandemic began，tracing the potential cases is hard.So is completing the survey，according to Chuang Shuk-kwan，head of the Center for Health Protection.Her department was having trouble connecting with people who may have been exposed to the virus because there's a lack of travel records to trace.

   As its health care system is facing great pressure，a new triage （分診） system has been carried out.Treatment priority would be given to the elderly and patients in serious condition，while younger patients with mild symptoms would be asked to stay home in isolation （隔離）.The Chinese mainland has also stepped up its assistance to Hong Kong，including sending medical teams and testing supplies，building makeshift （方艙） hospitals and ensuring daily necessities.

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.
