A weather map is an important tool for geographers. A succession of three or four maps presents a continuous picture of weather changes. Weather forecasters are able to determine the speed of air masses and fronts. They are also able to determine whether an air mass is retaining its original characteristics or taking on those of the surface over which it is moving. Thus, a most significant function of the map is to reveal an synoptic picture(气象图) of conditions in the atmosphere at a given time.
All students of geography should to interpret a weather map accurately. Weather maps contain an enormous amount of information about weather conditions existing at the time of observation over a large geographical area. They reveal in a few minutes what otherwise would take hours to describe. The United States Weather Bureau issues information about approaching storms, floods, frosts, droughts and all climate conditions in general. Twice a month it issues a 30-day “outlook” which is a rough guide to weather conditions likely to occur over broad areas of the United States. These outlooks are based on an analysis of the upper air levels.
With the use of electronic instruments and satellites, enormous gains have taken place recently in identifying and tracking storms over regions which have but few meteorological stations(气象站).Experiments are also in progress for weather modification studies, although few successful results such as artificial rainmaking have been achieved so far.
小题1: Which is not mentioned in this passage in the following about one characteristic of weather?| A．Fronts. | B．Temperature change. | C．Wind speed. | D．Frost. |
小题2:The observation of weather conditions by satellites is advantageous because
_______.| A．it is modern and sophisticated | | B．it used electronic instruments | | C．it enables man to alter the weather | | D．it gives the scientists information not obtained readily otherwise |
小题3:The word “interpret” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _______| A．explain | B．present | C．modify | D．illustrate |

Methods of training animals have changed greatly in recent years. Zoo keepers have always had problems getting the animals to leave their cages in order for the cages to be cleaned, and also training them to move indoors when appropriate. Another problem was that many of the large animals became listless and bored. In the last twenty years, scientists have done research on dolphins and whales, training them to obey commands. The scientists found they could get animals to obey by rewarding them with food and affection when they responded correctly.
Proper training allows the animals to receive the care they need. It was very difficult to get untrained animals, especially the larger ones, to stay still when they needed medical attention. Now they can be trained, on command, to remain still and even to allow blood samples to be taken and shots administered. All this is accomplished through positive reinforcement, without the use of any force. Affection training, as this process is called, has been used with great success on a wide variety of zoo animals. Animal behavior experts have taught zoo keepers to train bears, tigers, monkeys, and many other species to behave in a way that provides for better animal-keeper interaction. This training also keeps the animals from becoming bored and inactive.
Although some people proclaim(谴责) that this training is inhumance and cruel to animals, results have shown that captive(猎获的)animals who previously were not doing well flourish under the new training procedures.
小题1:The word “listless” means _______.| A．countless | B．obedient | | C．inactive | D．mysterious |
小题2: Which of the following is valid conclusion based on this passage?| A．It is safe to pet any animal. | | B．Many animals respond favorably to rewards and affection. | | C．Animals in the wild can be trained. | | D．Animals should not be kept in zoos. |
小题3:The writer"s purpose is to _______.| A．persuade people not to feed animals in the zoo | | B．show how easy it is to train animals | | C．explain method of training animals through rewards | | D．criticize zoo keepers |
小题4:Which of the following is an opinion?| A．Zoo keepers had problems in getting animals to leave their cages. | | B．Training is cruel to animals. | | C．Animals obey commands if they are trained to do so. | | D．Many animals can be trained, on commands, to remain still. |

Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son, suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut,” Joanna noted.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up(蜷伏) with me on the soft and talk,” said Mark.“Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which.”
Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what"s on their minds.“In fact, parents are first on the list,” said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers.“This completely changes during the teen years.” Riera explained.“They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”
Parents who know what"s going on in their teenagers" lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young.Another thing parents should remember is that to be friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.
小题1:“The door to his room is always shut” suggests that the son_______.| A．is always busy with his studies | | B．doesn"t want to be disturbed | | C．keeps himself away from his parents | | D．begins to dislike his parents |
小题2:What troubles Tina and Mark most is that _______.| A．their daughter isn"t as lovely as before | | B．they can"t read their daughter"s mind exactly | | C．they don"t know what to say to their daughter | | D．their daughter talks with them only when she needs help |
小题3:Which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph?| A．Teenagers talk a lot with their friends. | | B．Teenagers do not want to understand their parents. | | C．Teenagers do not talk much with their parents. | | D．Teenagers talk little about their own lives. |
小题4:What can be learned from the passage?| A．Parents are unhappy with their growing children. | | B．Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers. | | C．Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers. | | D．Parents should try to understand their teenagers. |

It will be hot—hot enough that most locals will have cleared town for cooler places. But because athletes competing at the 2004 Olympics have no choice but to stay in the hot weather, many plan to turn to science to stay cool.
Some will put their hands in ice water just before competing and nearly all will be wearing fabrics(织物) designed with hot weather in mind.
“Normally we warm up before exercise,”said Gordon Sleivert, director of sports science and medicine at the Canadian Sport Center in Victoria, British Columbia.“But in this case we"re taking the warm out of warm up. It"s like pre-cooling.”
Experts are predicting(预测) the average high this August in Athens will be 90 degrees Fahrenheit, with temperatures often reaching above 100(the average temperature in Sydney for the 2000 summer games was 64).
Although some events, such as the marathon, will start early(1 a.m.) to avoid hot weather, other competitors will be pushing their limits during high temperatures. Drinking lots of water will help athletes keep cool, but humidity(湿度) remains a problem. The body"s ability to cool down is weakened by damp air since sweat drips off the skin rather than evaporates(蒸发),resulting in dehydration(脱水) without the cooling.
“Getting hot is a real problem because when our brains heats up, the brain waves are more like when you"re really sleepy. Everything feels harder,” said Sleivert.
小题1: The passage mainly tells us that _______.| A．why it is very hot in Athens | | B．the hot weather is a big problem for Olympic athletes | | C．how important science is to every athlete | | D．the Olympics will be put off because of the hot weather |
小题2:The underlined sentence “other competitors will be pushing their limits during high temperatures”in the fifth paragraph means _______.| A．Olympic athletes will put off their competition time | | B．some events in the Olympics will have to be put forward | | C．competitors can"t reach their limits in the hot weather | | D．competitors will have to try their best to compete under any condition |
小题3:The following things will be likely to happen in the hot weather EXCEPT _______.| A．dehydration | | B．being sleepy | | C．that the blood in the body can become less and less | | D．that the body"s ability to cool down is weakened |

For some time past,it has been widely accepted that babies—and other creatures—learn to do things because certain acts lead to “rewards(报酬)”,and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective rewards, at least in the early time, had to be directly connected to such basic physiological(生理的) “drives” as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink or some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise.
It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward except success in sight.
Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to “reward” the babies and to teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other.Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned response(回答) with clear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the children"s responses in situations where no milk was provided. He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement “turned on” some lights—and indeed that they were able to learn some more turns to bring about(产生) this result,for example,two left or two right,or even to make as many as three turns to one side.
Papousek"s light experiment was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting observation that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the light closely although they would “smile and speak” when the light was on.Papousek concluded that it was not the sight of the lights which pleased them.It was the success they were achieving in solving the problem,in mastering the skill,and then there is a basic human nature to make sense of the world and bring it under control.
小题1:According to the writer,babies learn to do things which _______.| A．will satisfy their surprise | B．will meet their physical needs | | C．are directly connected to pleasure | D．will bring them a feeling of success |
小题2:Papousek noticed in his studies that a baby _______.| A．would make learned responses when it saw the milk | | B．would continue the simple movements without being given milk | | C．would turn its head to right or left when it had enough to drink | | D．would carry out learned movements when it had enough to drink |
小题3:In Papousek"s experiment babies make learned movements of the head in order to _______.| A．be praised | B．please their parents | | C．be rewarded with milk | D．have the lights turned on |
小题4:The babies would “smile and speak” at the lights because _______.| A．they succeeded in “turning on” the lights | | B．the sight of lights was interesting | | C．they need not turn back to watch the lights | | D．the lights were directly connected to some basic “drives” |
