Maybe that is _16_ there are so many expressions about the weather, especially about _17_. Sometimes, when you need rain, you do not get any. Other times, you get rain when you dont need it. _18_ a baseball game for example. A sudden rainstorm can stop an exciting game. If the game cannot continue, people who bought the tickets are given “rain checks”. These are _19_ tickets that will let them see a _20_ game for free.“Rain check” now means a second chance at something. Shops may offer “rain checks” when they sell out all of a product(产品)a television set, for example, at a special low price. _21_ all the TV sets have been sold out, the shop gives rain checks to those who wanted to buy _22_. The rain check allows a person to buy the TV set later at the same low price after the shop receives some _23_ TV sets from the factory.“Rain check” is also used in social situations. Its a way of _24_ an invitation, but for a later time. You may ask for a “rain check” if you are invited to a friends house for dinner, but cant be there right now. You say, “I would love to go, but Im busy. Could I have a rain check？”_25_ you are asking if you could have dinner with your friend at another time. It seems that your friend will probably ask you to dinner very soon next time.()16.A.what BwhereCwhy Dwhen()17.A.weather BcloudCsky Drain()18.A.Bring BTakeCGive DCarry()19.A.beautiful BspecialCexpensive Dcheap()20.A.better BlargerClater Dearlier()21.A.But BBeforeCWhere DAfter()22.A.it BoneCthis Dthat()23.A.much BbetterCmore Dless()24.A.refusing BprintingCsending Daccepting()25.A.In fact BOf courseCBy the way DAt least.阅读理解(每小题2分，共20分)ANow satellites are helping to forecast(预报) the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere(大气), because this is where the weather forms(形成). They send these pictures 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 how 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 the earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before 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 be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead(提前)()26.Satellites travel _Ain spaceBabove space Cabove the groundDin the atmosphere()27.Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere？Because _Aclouds form thereBthe weather forms thereCthe weather satellites can do it easily Dthe
