Now satellites are 1 to forecast (预报) the weather. They are in space, and they can 2 any part of the
world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere (大气), 3 this is where the weather forms (形成). They
send these 4 to the weather stations. So meteorologists (气象学家) can see the weather of any part of the
world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say 5 the weather will change.
Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new
pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier 6 . Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed
during the last few hours. This may mean that the 7 on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather
forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satellites are a great 8 to the meteorologists. 9 satellites were invented, the scientists could
forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon,
perhaps, they may 10 forecast the weather for a week or more ahead (提前). |

look at the 1 . Check the comments your teachers write about each 2 .
Very often when students 3 report cards, they check their marks very quickly. Then they stop 4 and
put them away. However, this is not right. Your report cards may 5 comments from each teacher. These
comments are more useful than the grades.
Not all comments by teachers are useful. Some have a common 6 of how the class has studied in
the 7 term.There may be only a few 8 on your own work, and sometimes such comments are mainly
written about which sometimes teachers" 9 comments are written in a kind of secret code (代码) that I
10 "report-speak". For example, "George has a good understanding of…" It 11 good. But in fact, a "good"
understanding may be the third, or fourth best result below "excelent" and "very good". 12 you realize this,
"good understanding" isn"t so good any more.
Because comments on the reportcard don"t 13 have the information you"re looking for, the 14 way to
discover where you most need to improve is to ask your teachers 15 if you want to use your report card

walk. Unlike (不像) lions and tigers, an elephant cannot use its legs to jump or run fast. But elephants do have
something that most animals do not have — a trunk!
It is difficult for an elephant to bend (弯曲) down to reach food on the ground because of its short, fat legs.
That is why an elephant has a trunk. It uses its trunk to reach food it needs. Without its trunk, an elephant would
be helpless.
An elephant uses its trunk as a monkey might use its arms and hands. The elephant can scratch (抓) an itch
(痒), pick up a small peanut (坚果) or a piece of popcorn (爆米花), and touch objects with its trunk. An
elephant"s trunk can even wrap (裹) around a tree and pull it out of the ground. An elephant"s trunk also helps it
drink water. An elephant can drink as much as 50 gallons (加仑) of water into its trunk. Then the elephant
squirts (喷出) the water into its mouth and down its throat (喉咙). An elephant"s trunk is very useful! | | 1. In paragraph 2, helpless means _______. | | [ ] | A. without help

the dogs another colour. Again the dogs get ready to eat. The colours are all the same to them.
