31、amaging types of weather begin quickly, strike suddenly, and disappear rapidly, destroying small areas while leaving neighboring areas untouched. Such event as a tornado(龙卷风) struck the northeastern part of Edmonton, Alberta, in July 1987. Total damages from the tornado went beyond $250 million, the
32、 highest ever for any Canadian storm.Traditional computer models of the atmosphere have limited value in predicting short-lived local storms like the Edmonton tornado, because the available weather data are generally not detailed enough to allow computers to study carefully the slight atmospheric ch
33、anges that come before these storms. In most nations, for example, weather-balloon observations are taken just once every twelve hours at places separated by hundreds of miles. With such limited data, traditional forecasting models do a much better job predicting general weather conditions over larg
34、e areas than they do forecasting specific local events.Until recently, the observation intensive (十分细致) method needed for exact, very short-range forecasts, or “Nowcasts,” was not possible. The cost of equipping and operating many thousands of conventional weather stations was extremely high, and th
35、e difficulties concerned in rapidly collecting and processing the weather data from such a network were hard to overcome.Fortunately, scientific and technological advances have overcome most of these problems. Radar(雷达) systems and satellites are all able to make detailed, nearly continuous observat
36、ion over large areas at a lower cost. Communications satellites can send out data around the world cheaply and immediately, and modern computers can quickly collect and analyze this large amount of weather information.Meteorologists(气象学者) and computer scientists now work together to design computer
37、programs and video equipment able to change weather data into words and graphic displays(图解) that forecasters can understand easily and quickly. As meteorologists have begun using these new technologies in weather forecasting offices, nowcasting is becoming a reality.56. Why cant traditional compute
38、r models predict short-lived local storms? A. The weather data people collect are often wrong. B. Detailed weather data in some small areas are not available. C. The computers are not advanced enough to predict them. D. The computers are not used to forecast specific local events.57. The word “Nowca
39、st” in Paragraph 3 means . A. a network to collect storm dataB. a way of collecting weather data C. a more advanced system of weather observation D. a forecast which can predict weather in the small area58. What can make “Nowcasts” a reality according to the passage? A. Scientific and technological
40、advances. B. Advanced computer programs. C. Computer scientists. D. Meteorologists.BWhen I learned that my 71-year-old mother was playing Scrabble a word game against herself, I knew I had to do something. My husband suggested we give her a computer to play against. I wasnt sure my mother was ready
41、for it. After all, it had taken 10 years to persuade her to buy an electric cooker. Even so, we packed up our old computer and delivered it to my parents home. And so began my mothers adventure in the world of computers. It also marked the beginning of an unusual teaching task for me. Ive taught peo
42、ple of all ages, but I never thought I would be teaching my mother how to do anything. She has been the one teaching me all my life: to cool and sew; to enjoy the good times and put up with the bad. Now it was my turn to give something back. It wasnt easy at the beginning. There was so much to expla
43、in and to introduce. Slowly but surely, my mother caught on, making notes in a little notebook. After a few months of Scrabble and other games, I decided it was time to introduce her to word processing(文字处理). This proved to be a bigger challenge(挑战) to her, so I gave her some homework I asked her to
44、 write me a letter, using different letter types, colors and spaces. “Are you demanding with your kindergarten pupils?” she asked. “No, of course not,” I said. “They already know how to use a computer.” My mother isnt the only one experiencing a fast personal growth period. Thanks to the computer, m
45、y father has finally got over his phone allergy(过敏反应). For as long as I can remember, any time I called, my mother would answer. Dad and I have had more phone conversations in the last two months than weve had in the past 20 years. 59. What does the author do? A. She is a cook. B. She is a teacher.

My parents divorced and I moved to a new town with my father, far from my old family and friends. I was terribly lonely and would cry myself to sleep each night. To ease my sa
59、dness, my father purchased an old horse for me at a local auction. I named him Cowboy.Cowboy was without a doubt the ugliest horse in the world. But I didnt care. I loved him beyond all reason. I joined a riding club and suffered rude comments and mean snickers about Cowboys looks. I never let on ab
60、out how I felt, but deep inside, my heart was breaking. The other members rode beautiful, registered horses.When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse is judged on appearance, we were quickly shown the gate. No amount of preparation and love would turn Cowboy into a beauty. My only chance
61、to compete would be in the speed events. I chose the jumping race.One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons. Needless to say, she didnt feel threatened when I competed against her at the next show. She didnt need to. I came in next to last.The st
62、inging memory of Beckys smirks made me determined to beat her. For the whole next month I woke up early every day and rode Cowboy five miles to the arena (赛马场). We practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home totally exhausted. All of our hard work didnt m
63、ake me feel confident by the time the show came. I sat at the gate and sweated it out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the course and finish in first place.My turn finally came. I put on my hat, rubbed Cowboys neck and entered the arena. At the signal, we dashed toward the first fe
64、nce, jumped it without trouble and raced on to the next one. Cowboy then flew over the second, third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him toward the finish line. As we crossed the line the crowd was shocked into silence. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds!I ga
65、ined much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that no matter what the odds, Id always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it.67.
