8、ging and life-threatening types of weather-torrential rains, severe thunderstorm, and tornadoes-begin quickly, strike suddenly, and dissipate (消散) rapidly, devastating (毁坏) small regions while leaving neighboring areas untouched. One such event, a tornado, struck the north-eastern section of Edmonto

9、n Alberta, in July 1987. Total damages from the tornado exceeded $250 million, the highest ever for any Canadian storm. Conventional computer models of the atmosphere have limited value in predicting short-lived local storms like the Edmonton tornado, because the available weather data are generally

10、 not detailed enough to allow computers to discern the subtle atmospheric changes that precede these storms. In most nations, for example, weather-balloon observations are taken just once every twelve hours at locations typically separated by hundreds of miles. With such limited data, conventional f

11、orecasting models do a much better job predicting general weather conditions over large regions than they do forecasting specific local events.Until recently, the observation-intensive approach needed for accurate, very short range forecasts, or “Nowcast“, was not feasible. The cost of equipping and

12、 operating many thousands of conventional weather stations was prohibitively high, and the difficulties involved in rapidly collecting and processing the raw weather data from such a network were insurmountable (不能克服的). Fortunately, scientific and technological advances have overcome most of these p

13、roblems. Radar systems, automated weather instruments, and satellites are all capable of making detailed, nearly continuous observations over large regions at a relatively low cost. Communications satellites can transmit data around the world cheaply and instantaneously, and modern computers can qui

14、ckly compile and analyze this large volume of weather information. Meteorologists and computer scientists now work together to design computer programs and video equipment capable of transforming raw weather data into words, symbols, and vivid graphic displays that forecasters can interpret easily a

15、nd quickly. As meteorologists have begun using these new technologies in weather forecasting offices, Nowcasting is becoming a reality.（分数：7.00）(1).The author mentions the tornado in Edmonton, Canada, in order to give an example of a damaging storm.（分数：1.00）A.A.

The real test is whether they can survive and become established during their early 20s making a name for themselves in the real world where business skills can count for much as talent and creativity.2. Fashion is a hard business

20、skills can count for much as talent and creativity. Fashion is a hard business. There is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant breakneck speed to prepare for the next seasons collections. It is extremely competitive and there is the constant need to cultivate good coverage in n

21、ewspapers and magazines. It also requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is insatiable.3. “We try to warn people before they come to us about how tough it is,“ says Lydia Kemeny, the head of fashion at St. Martins School of Arts in London, “and we point out that drive and det

22、ermination are essential.“4. This may seem far removed from the popular image of trendy and amateur young people spending their time designing pretty dresses. That may well be what. they do in their first year of study but a good college wont be slow in introducing students to commercial realities.

23、We dont stamp on the blossoming flower of creativity but in the second year we start introducing the constrains of price, manufacturability, marketing and so on.5. Almost all fashion design is done to a brief. It is not a form of self-expression as such, although there is certainly room for imaginat

24、ion and innovation.

Even those students who are most progressive in their own taste of clothes and image may need to adap

29、ividual; rather it is diffused (普及的) through the artistic genius of centuries embodied (具体表达) in the rules of religious art. Art of the middle Ages is first a sacred(神的，宗教的) script, the symbols and meanings of which were well settled. The circular halo placed vertically (神学,神性). By bare feet, we rec

30、ognize God, the angels, Jesus Christ and the apostles (使徒), but, for an artist to have depicted the Virgin Mary with bare feet would have been tantamount (等价的) to heresy (异教). Several concentric, wavy lines represent the sky, while parallel lines water or the sea. A tree, which is to say a single st

31、alk with two or three stylised leaves, informs us that the scene is laid on earth. A tower with a window indicates a village, and, should an angel be watching from the battlements, that city is thereby identified as Jerusalem. Saint Peter is always depicted with curly hair, a short beard, and a tons

32、ure, while Saint Paul has always a bald head and a long beard.A second characteristic of this iconography is obedience (服从，顺从) to a sacred mathematic. “The Divine Wisdom,“ wrote Saint Augustine, “reveals itself everywhere in numbers,“ a doctrine attributable to the neo-Platonists who revived the gen

33、ius of Pythagoras. Twelve is the master number of the Church and is the product of three, the number of the Trinity, and fours, the number of material elements. The number seven, the most mysterious of all numbers, is the sum of four and three. There are the seven ages of man, seven virtues, seven p

34、lanets. In the final analysis, the seven-tone scale of Gregorian music is the sensible embodiment of the order of the universe. Numbers also require a symmetry. At Charters, a stained glass window shows the four prophets, Isaac, Ezekiel, Daniel, and Jeremiah, carrying on their shoulders the four eva

35、ngelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.A third characteristic of this art is to be a symbolic language, showing us one thing and inviting us to see another. In this respect, the artist was called upon to imitate God, who had hidden a profound meaning behind the literal and wished nature itself to be

36、 a moral lesson to man. Thus, every painting is an allegory. In a scene of the final judgment, we see the foolish virgins at the left hand of Jesus and the wise at his right, and we understand that this symbolizes those who are lost and those who are saved. Even seemingly insignificant details carry

37、 hidden meaning: The lion in a stained glass window is the figure of the Resurrection.These, then, are the defining characteristics of the art of the Middle Ages, a system within which even the most mediocre talent was elevated by the genius of the centuries. The artists of the early Renaissance bro

38、ke with tradition at their own peril. When they are not outstanding, they are scarcely able to avoid insignificance and banality in their religious works, and, even when they are great, they are no more than the equals of the old masters who passively followed the sacred rules.（分数：15.00）(1).The prim

42、ividuality is never evident.(4).All the following statements are mentioned in the passage as elements of the sacred script EXCEPT _.（分数：3.00）A.abstract symbols such as lines to represent physical featuresB.symbols such as halos and crossesC.clothing used to characterize (赋予特征) individualsD.symmetric

44、：1，分数：15.00)BShopping in the supermarket/BRemember when a trip to the supermarket was nothing more than a boring thing requiring little or no specialized knowledge? You could send your kinds into a cart while you did shopping. You always bought the same brands, usually the brands your mother bought.

45、 You didnt know about unit pricing, and furthermore, you didnt care. It never occurred to you to read the labels on anything. After all, youd bought these things a hundred times.But now, I really look on those days with a feeling of yearn. How innocent we were! How carefree were those trips to the s

46、upermarket. No worries. Today a trip to the supermarket is filled with social implication. Every time I buy pork chops I think about the years Im shaving from my life. I keep a wary eye on the freshness date and examine the tamper-proof packaging. I am victim of that most dangerous social disease: s

47、hoppers panic.I didnt realize how serious my condition had become until the last time I needed laundry soap. It seemed simple enough. Just run into the market, grab a box of the old reliable and pay for it. Cant get less complicated than that, right? I hadnt planned on discovering Ecover, a new bran

48、d of laundry soap. It sat quietly on the shelf right next to my old reliable. “Healthy, gentle but effective.“ My respect for it deepened with each new claim as I read the entire package. Then I looked at the price: $5.69 for 2 pound. $5.69! I cast a quick glance at the old reliable, still on sale f

49、or $1.39.Six bucks for laundry soap! These people must be crazy! Whos going to pay six bucks for laundry soap?Its not as though I cant afford it. See, its concentrated-use less, get more. BUT SIX BUCKS! And the box is made from recycled materials.This act went on for a solid half hour, after which I
