So meteorologistscan 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 comparethem with 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.

It has become the new international language. There are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak English as a first language. Why? There are many reasons why English has become so popular. One of them is that English has become the language of business. Another important reason is that popular American culture, like movies, music, and McDonalds has quickly spread throughout the world. It has brought its language with it. Is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so quickly? I dont know. Its important to have a language that everyone has in common. Our world has become global and we need to communicate with one another. On the other hand, English is a rather hard language to learn and it brings its culture with it. Do we really need that? Scientists have already tried to make an artificial(人造的) language that isnt too difficult and isnt from any one groups culture. It is called Esperanto. But it hasnt become popular. Maybe the popularity of English wont last that long, either. Who knows? There are more people in the world who speak Chinese than any other language. Maybe someday Chinese will be the new international language. 1. What was the world language a century ago? 2. Why has English become an international language today? Give at least two reasons. 3. What can we get from Paragraph 3? 4. In the last paragraph, what do scientists want to tell us? 5. 将第三段中划线句子翻译成汉语。 任务型阅读共10分每小题2分 1. French. 2. Because of business and popular American culture. 3. English is a commonly used language, but it cant become the only international language because it is hard for people to learn. 4. They have tried to make an artificial language to make people understand one another more easily. 世界已经全球化我们需要相互交流。任务型阅读第一类 Have you heard about “Survival (生存) Holidays”? “Survival Holidays” is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents. The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change. Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing (打扰) them. Parents care too much about their children.

Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even small danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them. Many people think the survival activities are good for children.
