Recently, a significant news has drawn wide attention. Google Maps has made a notable change by renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America specifically for users in the United States. Google explained that this alteration is in line with its "long - standing practice" of following name updates from official government sources.
The origin of this change can be traced back to last month when President Donald Trump issued an order to rename the body of water in US government documents. However, this move faced strong opposition from Mexico. Mexican authorities argued that the US has no legal right to change the name, as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea stipulates that an individual country's sovereign territory only extends up to 12 nautical miles from the coastline.
For users in Mexico, the name on Google Maps remains the Gulf of Mexico. And for the rest of the world, the label shown is "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)". Google implemented the change on Monday after the Geographic Names Information System, a US government - run database, updated the name.
The Associated Press, a well - known global media organization, decided not to change the name in its style guide. In response, the White House barred an AP reporter from covering an executive order signing.每题答案不超过10个词
What did Google Maps do for US users
Why did Mexico oppose the name change
When did Google carry out the change
What was the Associated Press's decision
5.Do you think a country can change the name of a sea area alone Why or why not (Open - ended question)
notable adj.值得注意的，显著的
gulf n. 港湾
alteration n. 变化
