Always noted for being particula

9、rly faithful in watching over children, he also has his place by the fireside, in the cow pasture, on the sheep range, and beside the hunter in forest or blind. He is easy to train, works hard, and often performs astonishing feats. And in the frozen polar regions he was once the principal motive pow

10、er, before being largely displaced by the plane and helicopter. Because he howls or whines in the presence of impending death, the dog was once thought to have supernatural powers and believed to be capable of seeing gods and ghosts invisible to men. Actually, the basis for these beliefs lies in the

11、 hound“s sensitivity to people“s feelings and his superior hearing ability and sense of smell, which enable him to detect signs hidden from human observation. His record of saving lives is outstanding, for he often gives warning of fire and other dangers not noticed by his master. The dog“s major co

12、ntribution, however, has been to medical research. Both his diet and his structure are comparable to those of the human being, and so he has been the subject of countless experiments. Open- heart surgery has been made possible largely because of the dog. But his sacrifice has repaid his own species

13、as well by safeguarding it from rabies, distemper, and other diseases.（分数：10.00）(1).The dog has always been noted for _.（分数：2.00）A.protecting childrenB.assisting shepherdsC.helping huntersD.herding cattle(2).The dog probably whines in the presence of death because he can _.（分数：2.00）A.see ghosts and

16、age 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)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, destroying small regions while leaving neighboring areas untouched. Conventional (普通) computer models of the

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

18、en just once 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 regions than they do forecasting specific local events. Until recently, the observation-

19、intensive 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 s

20、uch a network 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 relatively low cost. C

21、ommunication satellites can transmit data around the world cheaply and immediately, and modem 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

22、 transforming 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.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the best title of the pas

24、able because _（分数：2.00）A.there were no conventional computersB.the cost of the equipping and operating was sky-highC.there were no difficulties in data processingD.there were not enough meteorologists(4).Things have been changed by the following EXCEPT _（分数：2.00）A.the use of radar systems and automa

25、ted instrumentsB.the use of communication satellites and modem computersC.the joint work of meteorologists and computer scientistsD.weather information volume is large enough to compile and analyze(5).The dream of nowcasts will come true when _（分数：2.00）A.the cost is loweredB.people need it to reduce
