12、ons: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the cen

13、ter. 15 Many of the most damaging and life threatening types of weather, such as torrential rains and severe thunderstorms, begin quickly, strike suddenly, and disappear rapidly, de-stroying small regions while leaving neighboring areas untouched. Conventional (普通 ) computer models of the atmosphere

14、 have limited value in predicting short-lived local storms because the available weather data are generally not detailed enough to allow com-puters to see clearly the small atmospheric changes that come before these storms. In most nations, for example, weather-balloon observations are taken just on

15、ce every twelve hours at location typically separated by hundreds of miles. With such limited data, conventional forecasting models do a much better job predicting general weather conditions over large re-gions than they do forecasting specific local events. Until recently, the observation-intensive

16、 approach needed for accurate, very short range forecasts, or “nowcasts“, was impracticable. The cost of equipping and operating many thousands of conventional weather stations was extremely high, and the difficulties involved in rapidly collecting and processing the raw weather data from such a net

17、work were beyond overcoming. Fortunately, scientific and technological advance have overcome most of these problems. Radar systems, automated weather instruments, and satellites are all capable of making detailed, nearly continuous observations over large regions at a rela-tively low cost. Communica

18、tion satellites can transmit data around the world cheaply and immediately, and modern computers can quickly compile and analyze this large volume of weather information. Meteorologists (气象学家 ) and computer scientists now work together to design computer programs and video equipment capable of trans

19、forming raw weather data into words, symbols, and vivid graphic displays that forecasters can interpret easily and quickly. As meteorologists have begun using these new technologies in weather forecasting offices, nowcasting is becoming a reality. 16 What is the best title of the passage? （ A） Sever

20、e Thunderstorms and Damages. （ B） Weather Forecasting and Life-threatening. （ C） Science Advances and Nowcasts. （ D） Available Data and Nowcasts. 17 Nowcasts are_. （ A） local forecasts （ B） short-range forecasts （ C） medium-range forecasts （ D） long-range forecasts 18 Nowcasts used to be impracticab

21、le because_. （ A） there were no conventional computers （ B） the cost of the equipping and operating was sky-high （ C） there were no difficulties in data processing （ D） there were not enough meteorologists 19 Things have been changed by the following EXCEPT_. （ A） the use of radar systems and automa

22、ted instruments （ B） the use of communication satellites and modern computers （ C） the joint work of meteorologists and computer scientists （ D） weather information volume is large enough to compile and analyze 20 The dream of nowcasts will come true when_. （ A） the cost is lowered （ B） people need

23、it to reduce damages （ C） meteorologists can make full use of the new technologies （ D） conventional weather forecasts are got rid of 20 (77) Heredity(遗传 ) is not the only thing that influences our color. Where we live and how we live after we are born are important too. For instance, our genes infl

24、uence how fat or thin we are. But our weight depends mainly upon how much we eat and how much exercise we get. In the same way, our skin color depends to a large extent upon how much sunshine we get. When summer arrives and light-colored people go to the beaches, some will tan darkly, some will tan

25、lightly and few will not tan at all. Each one has inherited a different ability to tan, but the differences do not appear until the conditions are right. An outdoor man will soon become pale if he changes to an indoor job, while a desk clerk will take on tan after a short vacation in the sun. Someti

26、mes people decide that being tanned is better than being pale. Sometimes they decide the opposite. Centuries ago, most of the people in Europe were peasants and they had to work in the fields all day. Noblemen, on the other hand, did not have to work. They stayed indoors and remained pale. You could

27、 always tell a nobleman from a peasant because a peasant had a tan. As a result, a skin so pale that the veins (血管 ) were showed was considered a mark of great beauty. During the Industrial Revolution things changed. Farmers left their fields and went to work in factories, mines and mills. Working f

28、or long hours in dimly-lit factories and mines made their skins pale. (78) Wealthy people, however, could afford to travel to sunny countries. They had the leisure to lie around on the beaches and get tan. Having a tan became a sign of wealth. In Western Europe and North America pale skin is no long

29、er desirable. Instead of bleaching themselves white with lemon juice, many women spend their time under a sunlamp. The desire for a quick tan has led to the invention of pills and lotions(涂剂 )that darken the skin artificially without exposure to sunlight. These pills and lotions can be bought by any

30、one at any drugstore. A rich man can spend hundreds of dollars on a vacation in the sunny West Indies and get his suntan there. But his lowest-paid clerk can have what looks like the same tan out of a bottle for a few cents. 21 Besides genes, our skin color has much to do with_. （ A） exercise （ B） w

31、eight （ C） food （ D） sunshine 22 When summer comes and the light-colored people go to the beaches, _. （ A） all of them will tan darkly （ B） few of them will tan darkly （ C） many of them will not tan at all （ D） few of them will not tan at all 23 Centuries ago in Europe, it was considered of great be

32、auty to have_. （ A） pale skin （ B） light-colored skin （ C） dark-colored skin （ D） a suntan 24 During the Industrial Revolution people began to like to have a tan because it was a sign of_. （ A） good health （ B） great strength （ C） wealth （ D） youth 25 Pills and lotions have been invented in Western

33、Europe and North America_. （ A） to protect people from sunburn （ B） to make people look wealthy （ C） to smooth peoples skin （ D） to help people to have a quick tan 26 What will man be like in the future in 5 000 or even 50 000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure t

34、hat he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we

35、may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones. This is

36、 likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, which will grow larger. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that mans eyes

37、will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, how ever, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. But what about hair? It will probably disappear fro

38、m the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful propose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald. Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at. This may well be true. All the same, in spite

39、 of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own. 26 The passage tells us about _. （ A） how mans life will be in the future （ B） how future man will look like （ C） the fact that mans organs will f

40、unction differently in the future （ D） the fact that man is growing uglier as time passes 27 There is evidence that man is changing: _. （ A） man has been growing taller over the past 500 years （ B） man has got stronger eyes than he ever had （ C） mans hair is getting thinner and thinner （ D） mans lim

41、bs are getting weaker because he tends to make less use of them 28 Mans forehead will grow larger because _. （ A） he will make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity （ B） the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time （ C） he had rather narrow forehead a few hundred years ago （ D） he will ha

42、ve to use his brain more and more as time goes on 29 Future man will probably _. （ A） have smaller eyes （ B） have larger eyes （ C） see better （ D） have to wear better glasses 30 The reason for believing that future man will be different is that he _. （ A） is always growing （ B） never stops changing

43、（ C） hopes for a change （ D） will live a different life 三、 Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%) Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences.
