21、Ways to Predict the Weather Without a Forecast

Most of us know about the weather from the weather report. However, we can know the weather by ourselves. It is a fun hobby, and it can also be a useful skill if you enjoy outdoor activities, such as hiking or camping. By learning what to look for, you can predict(预测) the weather.

▲Watch the Wind and Air.

Observe the direction(方向) of wind. Wind comes when air moves. Since weather moves in from the west, westerly winds bring good weather. Easterly winds suggest that the bad weather is coming toward you.

You can use grass or flower petals(花瓣) to decide the direction of the wind. Throw your grass or flower petals into the air and watch the direction of the wind.

▲Watch smoke from a fire.

The air pressure(压力) decides what direction the smoke will go. In high pressure high up in the sky, the smoke will go up into the air. If the pressure is low, it will be back down around the fire. If you see the smoke back down, bad weather is likely on the way.

▲Take a deep breath.

Close your eyes and smell the air. Smells become wet right before a storm, making them stronger. Before a storm, you should also notice a compost(堆肥) smell as plants release(释放) their waste. If you start to smell this, it likely means that a storm is coming.

【1】The underlined word “Observe” means ________.

A．have

B．play

C．watch

D．smell

【2】Which of the following is true?

A．The grass stands still in the wind.

B．The flower petals can’t tell us anything about the weather.

C．The air pressure is the same in all the places.

D．You can smell the air to know about the weather.

【3】The main idea is about _________.

A．the wind is strong

B．how to tell the weather

C．how to get home earlier

D．how to travel

23、   Indonesia is my mother's homeland and one of my favorite countries.

Teaching was actually the most enjoyable of my many responsibilities (责任). Many children were shy at first. But when they relaxed, they would start talking and telling you a lot of funny things. I believed I was helping them build up their confidence. For the children who are more in need. The Education Program (TEP) will collect donations to help them. As a volunteer, I had to visit the TEP children at home once a month and help them write a thank-you letter to their sponsors. This was a way for the children to communicate with their sponsors. Sometimes the sponsors would write back to the children. Seeing the children's happy faces, I had a great sense of pleasure.

24、   A black hole is a place in outer space with very strong gravity. Gravity is a great force(力量) that shapes the universe. On Earth, gravity makes apples fall from trees. It keeps your feet planted on the ground. The gravity in a black hole is much stronger. It is so strong that nothing around it can get away from it, not even light.

Black holes are invisible. We can't actually see them because they don’t throw back light. But scientists can find them with space telescopes (望远镜)and special tools. The strong gravity makes nearby stars move in a certain way. By studying how the stars move, scientists can find out if they are flying around a black hole. Strange things happen around black holes. This makes black holes a popular subject of science fiction(科幻) stories, although they are very unreal.

A black hole forms when a star dies. The star falls in on itself and turns into a very small point. Because of its small size and huge mass(质量), the gravity will be so strong that it will pull light in and become a black hole. Black holes can grow huge as they continue to pull other things in and “eat” them. Many scientists believe that there are super-massive black holes at the center of galaxies, including the Milky Way.

The idea of the black hole was first suggested by two different scientists in the 18th century: John Michelle and Pierre-Simon Laplace. In 1967, a physicist named John Archibald Wheeler came up with the name “black hole”. Studying black holes can tell us many things about our galaxy and help scientists answer questions about the universe.

【1】The word “invisible” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_________”.

A.far to go B.easy to find C.difficult to catch D.impossible to see

【2】The third paragraph is mainly about_________.

A.how big black holes are B.how heavy black holes are

【3】From the passage we learn_________.

A.a star's moving path can help scientists find a black hole

B.writers love writing about black holes because they are real

D.John Archibald Wheeler found the first black hole in space
