2013中考英语复习精品资料超值阅读练习19Now satellites are helping to forecast(预报)the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pict ures of the atmosphere (大气), because this is where the weather forms (形成). They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists (气象学家) can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.So the weather satellites are a great help to the m eteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead (提前).1. Satellites travel __________.A. in spaceB. above spaceC. above the groundD. in the atmosphere2. Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere？Because _______.A. clouds form thereB. the weather forms thereC. the weather satellites can do it easilyD. th e pictures can forecast the weather3. Meteorologists forecast the weather _______.A. without studying satellite picturesB. before they receive satellite picturesC. when they have received satellite picturesD. after they have compared the new satellite pictures with the earlier ones4. Maybe we'll soon be able to forecast the weather for _________.A. one dayB. two daysC. five daysD. seven days or even longer5. The main idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in __________.A. taking pictures of the earthB. receiving pictures of the atmosphereC. weather forecastingD. doing other work in many ways【答案与解析】这篇阅读材料向我们介绍了气象卫星在预报天气中所发挥的重要作用。

超值阅读练习6
Several years ago, a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.
The reporter was talking to them about being important.
“How do we know if someone is really important?” th e reporter asked the banker.
The banker thought for a few moments and then said, “I think anybody who is invited to the Whiter House to meet the President of the United States is really important.”
The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that?” she asked.
The man shook his head, “No. I think the President invites a lot of peopl e to the White House. You’d only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president of another country, and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it.”
The reporter turned to the third ma n. “Do you think so?”
“No, I don’t.” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.”
“Then what would make the visitor important?” the reporter and the other two men asked.
“Oh, I think if the visitor t o the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the President picked up the receiver, listened and then said, ‘it’s for you.’”

【答案与解析】短文的梗概是：一名电视台记者向三个很富有的人问了这样一个问题：如何判断一个人是不是重要人物。
银行家认为凡被邀请到白宫与美国总统会见的人都是重要人物。
拥有世界上最大公司的那个人却不赞同。
他说被邀请去白宫的人太多了。
但如果正当你与总统谈话时，另一个国家的总统来了电话，美国总统说他太忙了，不能接电话。
这才说明你确实是重要人物。
然而第三个人却认为这只能衬托美国总统的地位。
他说如果正当来访者与美国总统谈话时电话铃响了，美国总统拿起电话听了听，然后对来访者说，“找你的。
”这个人是最重要的人物。
1. B。
答案即是短文首段的第一句“Several years ago, a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America.”。
2. A。
记者和那三个重要人物，共二男二女。
关于男女性别可在下文中说话人的话语中可以看出来。
3. C。
由“I think anybody who is invited to the Whiter House to meet the President of the United States is really important”这句可知。
4. D。
同上题一样，本题也属表层理解题。
答案就在“You’d only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president of another country, and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it.”中。
5. C。
文章最后一段即是本小题答案之所在。
