Well, you can. The forecast is written in clouds. If you can read that writing, you can tell something about the atmosphere. With some practice, you can become a pretty good weather forecaster. Who knows, you might even do as well as meteorologists.Meteorologists use much more information than just the appearance of the clouds to make their forecast. They collect data from all over the world. Then they put it into powerful, high-speed computers. This does give the meteorologists an advantage, because they can track weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country. But you have an advantage, too. You can look at the sky and get your data directly. A meteorologist uses a computer forecast that' s several hours old to make a local forecast.What are you seeing when you look at a cloud? "A picture of moisture is doing in the atmosphere," says meteorologist Peter Leavitt. There' s moisture throughout the atmosphere. Most of the time you don' t see it, because it' s in the form of an invisible gascalled water vapor. Sometimes, the temperature of the air gets cold enough to cause the water vapor to change to liquid water. It' s called <u>condensation</u>, and we see it happen all the time ( for example, when humid air from the shower hits the cold glasses of a mirror). When enough water vapor condenses, droplets(小水滴) come in the air. These droplets scatter light. A cloud is seen.Watching clouds over a day or two tells you a lot more than a single cloud about the weather to come. Changes in clouds show changes in the atmosphere. You should begin to notice patterns. Certain clouds, following each other in order, can signal an approaching storm. But don' t take our word for it: see for yourself.41 What does "meteorologists" refer to______.（A）people who study the earth' s atmosphere and its changes（B）people who broadcast weather on TV（C）people who are in charge of weather forecast（D）people who study the earth's rocks and the history of its development42 Meteorologists make their weather forecast by______.（A）watching clouds constantly（B）collecting data from parts of the world（C）calculating and analyzing data（D）watching the sky43 The word "condensation" (Para. 3) means ______.（A）water vapor（B）the temperature of the air（C）humid air（D）water vapor changes to liquid water when the air is cold enough44 If you want to learn weather forecasts, you' d better______.（A）watch it on TV（B）watch clouds fluently in one day or two（C）buy more instruments at home（D）watch a single cloud in the sky45 This passage mainly tells us about how to______.（A）broadcast the weather forecast（B）forecast the weather by ourselves（C）train yourself as a meteorologist（D）be an assistant to a meteorologist45 Many families in the United States have a larger income now than ever before, but people are finding it difficult to make ends meet anyway. Almost everyone is wondering, "What happens to all my money? I never seem to have anything left to put away. "Why isn' t a dollar worth as much as it used to be? One dollar is always worth the same amount, that is, 100 cents. But the value of a dollar is how much it can buy. The value of money depends on the cost of living. Economists say that the cost of living is the money that a family must pay for the necessities of life such as food, housing or rent, clothes and medical expenses. For many years now, the cost of living has increased greatly, so thevalue of the dollar has decreased. When a dollar has a low value, you cannot buy as many things with it.No one fully understands why the cost of living keeps increasing, but economists believe that workers and producers can make prices go up. As workers earn more money, they have more money to spend, so they demand more goods. If there is a great demand for certain goods, the prices of these goods go up. At the same time, if there' s a shortage of goods, the price also goes up. For example, if everyone wants to buy more and more gas, the price of gas goes up. When companies withhold gas from buyers, they can also make the price of gas go up.Families need to know what happens to their money. They need to make their income meet the cost of living, so many people, plan a family budget. A budget is a list of monthly expenses. If your expenses add up to more than your meome, you must find ways to save money. Maybe you' re spending too much on entertainment. Or if you re spenaing too much on clothes, you may want to sew your own clothes. Budgeting helps you spend your money wisely as the cost of living increases.46 What has troubled many families in the United States?（A）A not-large-enough income.（B）Nothing is left over to put away.（C）The increasing cost of living.（D）A shortage of certain goods.47 Why does the cost of living keep increasing?（A）There are always shortages of goods.（B）The workers are getting lower and lower pay.（C）The government makes no difference.（D）People demand more goods.48 Which of the following is TRUE?（A）Housewives needn' t know anything happening to the market.（B）People' s lives are affected by the value of money.（C）There seems no need for everyone to know about the rising cost of living.（D）The prices will go up if more goods are produced.49 According to the passage, when people find it hard to make ends meet, they needto______.（A）find ways to save money（B）do extra work to earn more money（C）try some other means of making money（D）raise a protest against the high cost of living50 Budgeting helps______.（A）one to make his income meet the cost of living（B）the government to battle the rising cost of living（C）merchants to produce more goods（D）the workers to earn more money50 About 2 percent of American students are now taught at home. Educators are confused about how this growing practice should be regulated, and also wonder whether children who are not fully registered in school should get some public services. The issueshows how dim the line between public and private education can become, even when that private education is delivered at home.Probably about half the parents who teach at home are religiously motivated and use lessons by mail (or Internet) from church schools. Perhaps an additional fourth have some doubts about public education, think schools are unsafe or the fact that their children have special needs that regular schools don't meet. In some cases, parents home-school to escape compulsory(义务) education: they do least teaching while having older children care for younger sisters or brothers or work in home businesses. Although children often learn well at home, weak regulations in most states mean that officials rarely challenge or monitor parents who say they are home-schooling. With growing frequency, however, public schools offer services to the home-schooled. Districts may permit them to enroll part time for instance: educators fear that otherwise these children could later return full time with serious academic weaknesses, and in any case some districts wanting to qualify for state aid can benefit from part-timers filling empty seats.Here in Helena, Mary Brown has taught her 12 children at home while manufacturing clothing there in her non-teaching hours. Mrs. Brown says her motive is to give more training in basics, like phonics(发音学) than public schools offer. Most of her curriculum is from a church school, with tests returned by mail.Two years ago her seventh child, Andrea, wanting to join regular athletic programs, enrolled at Capital High School. Andrea soon changed her mind and continued home study. But she had liked gym and chorus (合唱) , so Mrs. Brown asked that she be allowed to continue in them while taking other courses at home.51 The education experts worry about______.（A）whether home-schooling affects the general level of education（B）whether the children studying at home need help（C）whether family education should be abandoned（D）whether parents use the right methods to teach children52 We can know from the passage that______.（A）half the parents feel doubtful about public education（B）most parents have religious consideration（C）some parents want to escape the compulsory education（D）public schools should not interfere in private education53 The important problem of home-school education is______.（A）lack of social activities（B）lack of strict management（C）inefficiency in study（D）low teaching quality54 According to Mrs. Brown, the purpose of teaching her children at home is______. （A）looking after them by herself（B）teaching them what they like（C）helping her to do housework（D）teaching them more basics55 It can be inferred from the passage that______.（A）no measures can be taken to regulate the home-schooling education（B）most parents are not satisfied with public education（C）it is wiser for schools to accept part-time enrollment（D）the home-schooled have no difference with those in public schools55 Many things about language are a mystery, and many will always remain so. But some things we do know.First, we know that all men in the world have a language of some sort. There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language. And, in historical times, there has never been a race of men without a language.Second, there is no such thing as a primitive language. There are many peoples whose cultures are undeveloped, who are, as we say, uncivilized, but the languages they speak are not primitive. In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing. This has not always been well understood: indeed, the direct contrary (反面) has often been stated. Popular ideas of the language of the American Indians will illustrate. Many people have supposed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive way. Study has proved this to be nonsense. There are, or were, hundreds of American Indian languages, and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very old. They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with, but they are no more primitive than English and Greek.A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate. That is, each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language.Finally, we know that language changes. It is natural and normal for language to change: the only languages which do not change are the dead ones. This is easy to understand if we look backward in time. Change goes on in all aspects of language. Grammatical features change as do speech sounds, and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly.Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.56 What can be inferred from the second paragraph?（A）Some backward race of men doesn' t have a language of their own.（B）Some race of men in history didn' t possess a language of their own.（C）Any human race, whether backward or not, has a language.（D）Some race of men on earth can communicate without language.57 What kind of language can peoples of undeveloped cultures have?（A）Complicated.（B）Uncivilized.（C）Primitive.（D）Well-known.58 People used to think Indians communicated______.（A）with complicated language（B）in a primitive way（C）with hand gestures（D）through body movements59 What does the word "adequate" (Para. 4) most probably mean?（A）Primitive.（B）Unique.（C）Sufficient.（D）Proper.60 According to the author, language changes are most likely to occur in ______.（A）grammar（B）pronunciation（C）vocabulary（D）intonation二、Cloze60 I have a friend who put her career on hold after she got married and had children. She stayed at home until the oldest was four years old,【C1】______she began doing part-time jobs to get out of the house.

Too many women give up their career dreams to【C8】______a relationship. That' s traditional, but it can【C9】______you crazy.

After further discussion, her husband went along,【C13】______he valued the relationship as much as she did.Conversely(相反地) , a former student, whose husband felt【C14】______by her earning more money than he did, ended her【C15】______consulting practice and gave up a six-figure income. To【C16】______conflict in her relationship, she abandoned herpassion. Maybe she should have abandoned her husband' s【C17】______thinking and surrounded herself instead with people who believed in her.A relationship must be mutually【C18】______, and any genuine relationship will adjust to change. When you recognize that a relationship is putting out your fire, ask yourself【C19】______you should gracefully go away and realize your dreams. Communicate how much your vision means to you, do it in a relationship-friendly【C20】______, and the people in your life will surprise you.61 【C1】（A）what（B）where（C）which（D）when62 【C2】（A）requested（B）aroused（C）required（D）provided63 【C3】（A）beside（B）after（C）beyond （D）before64 【C4】（A）complained （B）governed （C）quarreled （D）sympathized 65 【C5】（A）separate （B）guarantee （C）support （D）oppose66 【C6】（A）relieved （B）confirmed（C）resolved （D）conflicted 67 【C7】（A）objected （B）encouraged （C）perceived （D）released 68 【C8】（A）protect （B）destroy （C）provide （D）resemble 69 【C9】（A）do（B）drive （C）look70 【C10】（A）in （B）out （C）by （D）off71 【C11】（A）among （B）through （C）before （D）after72 【C12】（A）missed （B）acquired （C）received （D）forgot（A）although （B）while（C）because （D）however74 【C14】（A）conquered （B）threatened （C）transformed （D）assured75 【C15】（A）successful （B）thoughtful （C）revolutionary （D）primitive76 【C16】（B）defeat （C）approach （D）avoid77 【C17】（A）enforced （B）limited （C）ventured （D）extended 78 【C18】（A）logical （B）successive （C）beneficial （D）synthetic 79 【C19】（A）whether（C）how（D）which80 【C20】（A）path（B）route（C）road（D）waySection ADirections: Translate the following English into Chinese.81 He gave us many suggestions that we should get up earlier and take more exercises.82 A story goes that there was a king who liked drawing horses.83 I have no doubt that he will win.84 I will never forget the day when I was admitted into the university.85 This is the reason why I am not in favor of the plan.Section BDirections: Translate the following Chinese into English.86 如果他知道会发生这种事，也许会以不同方式行事。
