22、Name: Sam Champion

Hot job: TV Weatherman

Where: WABC-TV, New York City

When you were a child, did you plan to forecast wind, rain, and snow on TV?

I want to be a foreign journalist. I took courses in weather science at Eastern Kentucky University, but I majored in broadcasting news.

How did you finally become a weatherman?

My first job in the early 80’s was at the local TV station in Paducah, Kentucky. I did everything from turning on the lights in the morning to writing and delivering morning news. I put together weather forecasts, and become interested in them.

Back then, how did you forecast weather?

Independent companies collected computer information that showed, for example, how a single weather system might split into snow or snow mixed with rain. The information was often opposite and the job of a weather man was to study the information and make the best educated guess about the storm.

Has weather forecasting changed much with new technology?

Advanced computers, satellites, and Doppler radar(sound waves used to track storms) have made forecasting more exact. But we still know very little about how weather is shaped. So far, we just have theories.

Any advice for children who’d like to become weather scientists?

To me, weather is the most exciting field in the world. There are still so many more questions about weather than answers. After all, if we can’t foresee floods or hurricanes, how safe a society are we? Weather forecasting is wide open for scientists who love to solve puzzling problems. The next generation of meteorologists will unlock many of Earth science, and study meteorology in college.

Thanks, Sam

23、Born in Belgium on April 4, 1527, Abraham Ortelius is known as the inventor of the atlas (地图集). During that time, there was renewed interest in the study of classical antiquity, history, Greek, and philosophy across Western Europe.

Ortelius was fond of new discoveries and travel, so he began collecting books, prints, paintings, wall maps, and coins from all over Europe. During one trip to Poitiers, France, Ortelius met cartographer (制图员) Gerard Mercator, who inspired him to start producing maps himself. Ortelius began his career as a map colorist for the Guild of Saint Luke in Ant- werp in 1547, and then became a map designer at the Plantin company in 1587.

Ortelius’s first atlas was called Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. First printed in 1570, it fea- tured a collection of 53 maps, all the same style and size, printed from metal plates and arranged by continent, region, and state. The atlas was soon gaining traction. It had to be re- printed 4 times in the first year of publishing. Between 1570 and 1612 the atlas was published in 42 editions in 7 languages.

The Theatrum Orbis Terrarum atlas featured one of Ortelius’s most famous maps- Typus Orbis Terrarum. The hand-colored map covered the entire world from pole to pole, revealing the shape and size of different continents. At the time the map was made — much of North America was yet to be explored — so naturally, large parts of the geography were merely theoretical. The eastern seaboard stuck out eastward, illustrating the inaccurate measurements of longitudes (经度) at the time. It’s also interesting to note that the Mississippi River did not appear on the map, and there was no sign of the Great Lakes.

However, the map actually contains some of the best collection work of the period, and represents a huge shift in the history of mapmaking. It is the hallmark world map of the first atlas ever published.

【1】What can be inferred about Ortelius?

A．He was an inspiration to Mercator.

B．He was a great collector of Asian art.

C．He became a map designer at age 20.

D．He had a great curiosity about the world.

【2】What does the underlined word “traction” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Awareness.

B．Insight.

C．Popularity.

D．Evidence.

【3】What was a problem with Typus Orbis Terrarum?

A．It just covered the European continent.

B．It lacked detail and preciseness.

C．It was black and white in color.

D．It was poorly printed.

【4】What is the author’s attitude toward the map?

A．Appreciative.

B．Uninterested.

C．Critical.

D．Worried.

三、完形填空（共1题，共 5分）

25、About a month ago I noticed something really amazing, which I must call a garden miracle(奇迹). It so happened that when I _______ the double doors of a small storage area in the back of my house where I _______my garden supplies during the long, severe New England winter, I found, in one of the dirt-filled pots, a living, growing plant, topped with two of the most unlikely pink _______you’ve ever seen.

How was this _______? The unheated space had been closed all winter, and it was still cold outside. Once I caught my breath, I _______and discovered something approaching a reasonable explanation-there was a small glass window at the top of the double doors, and it was possible that a ray of sun fell directly on that pot, giving the plant just enough light and warmth to_______ it to grow in its own personal greenhouse.

I can’t help feeling_______ at the lessons this wonderful plant has to teach.

For one thing, I am moved by the happenstance(巧合) of the whole thing. If I had _______my pot six inches to the left or right of that spot, the plant might not have gotten that_______ray of light. If I had ________ the roots of the plant in late fall, there would have been nothing but dirt in that pot.

But there’s something else that________me about this-just how little light and________it took for this plant to grow and flower. I’m not________ we should be mean with love and kindness and all the other warming things we__________for others and for ourselves. But isn’t it comforting to think that just a drop of________can brighten a day, a place, a life?

When it comes to positivity, a little goes a long way. Just ask my little miracle plant.
