Of course we have never been able to predict exactly what the weather wil1 be like, but now strange weather patterns are seriously affecting many parts of the world. Droughts in Mexico and Brazil have recently caused great crop losses in the United States they have even had to make their own snow for the Winter Olympics.Scientists have found that the cause of this strange weather is that air circulation pattern has changed and is now more variable than earlier in this century. This means that different regions of the world get long spells of the same type of weather, whether hot, co1d, wet or windy.However, weather experts have different views about why this has happened. One theory is that the temperature of the sea has increased. Another is that mans activities on earth have disturbed the balance of nature.Whatever the cause, the economies of many countries in the world depend upon the weather. And until we know exactly what effect mans activities are having on the weather, we can not make changes which might help. So for the moment, the only answer is - wait and see!1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph? AA) It has always been impossible for man to predict the weather accurately.B) The strange weather has recently appeared only in some North American countries.C) We have never predicted the weather.D) Now man is ab1e to control the weather.2.The present weather patterns on the earth can be best described as_B_.A) highly unpredictable but favorable to manB) very strange and likely to cause disastersC) steady and normalD) changeable but predictable3.The word “affecting“ (Line 2, Para. 1) means“_C_ “.A) producing good effects on B) exerting favorable condition inC) having harmful effects on D) bringing about great changes in4. We can learn from paragraph 2 that_D_.A) weather patterns are likely to be predicted over a long period of timeB) weather patterns are the same in different regions of the worldC) the air circulation patterns remained unchanged in this centuryD) our weather depends on the changes in the air circulation pattern5. By saying “wait and see“, the author implies that_D_.A) no one is sure about the cause of the changing weatherB) experts have similar opinions about the changing weatherC) the weather will disturb the balance of nature D) the weather will become worse in the futureBSpace exploration supporters are angry about the insufficient space budget. They feel the Americans have been shortsighted about the future of space exploration and have failed to appreciate the benefits from past space programs. They point out that the benefits of space research are not limited to knowledge about space and other planets; in fact, each of us benefits daily from the many byproducts of these programs. Improvements in radio, television, medical technology, watches, batteries, food processing, and clothing are some of the areas where the space programs have made valuable contributions.Perhaps the greatest benefits have come in the field of satellite technology. Most people think that satellites relay long-distance phone calls and live television broadcasts, but they may not be aware that satellites are becoming very important tools in solving the worlds food energy problems. Satellites are now able to measure the amount of farmland and food production in the world. They can analyze the condition of soils and forests. They can also map weather patterns to give farmers information about the length of growing seasons. They can ev
