Well, you can. The forecast is written in clouds. If you can read that writing, you can tell something about t

19、he 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

20、 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 fore

21、cast 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 in

22、visible gas called water vapor. Sometimes, the temperature of the air gets cold enough to cause the water vapor to change to liquid water. It s called condensation , 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

23、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,

24、following each other in order, can signal an approaching storm. But don t take our word for it: see for yourself.（分数：10.00）(1).What does “meteorologists“ refer to_.（分数：2.00）A.people who study the earth s atmosphere and its changesB.people who broadcast weather on TVC.people who are in charge of weat

26、eans _.（分数：2.00）A.water vaporB.the temperature of the airC.humid airD.water vapor changes to liquid water when the air is cold enough(4).If you want to learn weather forecasts, you d better_.（分数：2.00）A.watch it on TVB.watch clouds fluently in one day or twoC.buy more instruments at homeD.watch a sin

27、gle cloud in the sky(5).This passage mainly tells us about how to_.（分数：2.00）A.broadcast the weather forecastB.forecast the weather by ourselvesC.train yourself as a meteorologistD.be an assistant to a meteorologistMany families in the United States have a larger income now than ever before, but peop

28、le 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 d

29、ollar 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 gre

30、atly, so the value 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

31、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 withho

32、ld 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

33、 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.（分数：10.00）(1).What has troubled many families in the United Sta

34、tes?（分数：2.00）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.(2).Why does the cost of living keep increasing?（分数：2.00）A.There are always shortages of goods.B.The workers are getting lower and lower pay.C.The government make

35、s no difference.D.People demand more goods.(3).Which of the following is TRUE?（分数：2.00）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

36、more goods are produced.(4).According to the passage, when people find it hard to make ends meet, they need to_.（分数：2.00）A.find ways to save moneyB.do extra work to earn more moneyC.try some other means of making moneyD.raise a protest against the high cost of living(5).Budgeting helps_.（分数：2.00）A.o

37、ne to make his income meet the cost of livingB.the government to battle the rising cost of livingC.merchants to produce more goodsD.the workers to earn more moneyAbout 2 percent of American students are now taught at home. Educators are confused about how this growing practice should be regulated, a

38、nd also wonder whether children who are not fully registered in school should get some public services. The issue shows 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 relig

39、iously 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 dont meet. In some cases, parents home-school to escape c

40、ompulsory(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-schoo

41、ling. 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

42、 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 of

43、fer. 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

44、. Brown asked that she be allowed to continue in them while taking other courses at home.（分数：10.00）(1).The education experts worry about_.（分数：2.00）A.whether home-schooling affects the general level of educationB.whether the children studying at home need helpC.whether family education should be aban

45、donedD.whether parents use the right methods to teach children(2).We can know from the passage that_.（分数：2.00）A.half the parents feel doubtful about public educationB.most parents have religious considerationC.some parents want to escape the compulsory educationD.public schools should not interfere

46、in private education(3).The important problem of home-school education is_.（分数：2.00）A.lack of social activitiesB.lack of strict managementC.inefficiency in studyD.low teaching quality(4).According to Mrs. Brown, the purpose of teaching her children at home is_.（分数：2.00）A.looking after them by hersel

48、art-time enrollmentD.the home-schooled have no difference with those in public schoolsMany 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

49、 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 pr
