sensors (传感器) in some cities to map wind patterns and provide possible lifesaving information in a chemical or biological attack.two test models,in the form of nine-meter high aluminum (铝) towers,are now undergoing testing in new york city,one in greenwich village and the other near times square.half a dozen similar sensors have been fixed in and around washington.simulations (模仿) of terrorist attacks carried out since the sep.11,2001 attacks have stressed the importance of finding out as soon as possible those areas that would be most affected by giving out poisonous gas or radioactive material into the air.now,the only reliable sources of information on wind speeds and direction are major airports,which are generally located too far away from city centers to be of much use.the experimental sensors measure wind strength and direction 10 times per second.the information is downloaded through the internet to computers that can turn out a detailed wind map,updated every 15 minutes.addressing a recent house of representatives committee meeting,the director of the national oceanic and atmospheric administration (noaas) “air resources” laboratory,bruce hicks,stressed the importance of developing the wind mapping program.“the wind sensors now being tested were produced by scientists recognizing theres a real problem and wed better start handling it fast or else well get into trouble.”hicks said.funds(资金) during the testing period had been provided by the new department for homeland security which will decide whether to fix sensor networks in major us cities,if the experiment should have positive results.1.the purpose of developing the wind mapping program is to .a.get lifesaving information during terrorist attacksb.get useful information about weather changesc.map the speed and direction of the windd.prevent possible terrorist attacks2.according to the text,the information from major airports is .a.slowly downloadedb.not quite reliablec.quickly

lack of money4.what is the text mainly about?()a.scientists mapping wind to sense terrorist attacks.b.whether wind mapping program is useful or not.c.how the wind mapping program works.d.the importance of wind mapping program.语篇解读:美国科学家在很多主要城市安装了测量风向的传感器,目的是更加精确地为防范生化武器的袭击提供信息。答案及剖析:1.a推理判断题。由文章第一段的.to map wind patterns and provide possible lifesaving information in.attack可知选a项。2.d细节理解题。由第四段的描述可知,来自主要机场的信息离市中心太远,以至于它们提供的信息用处不大,故选d项。3.b细节理解题。由第二段和最后两段可知,the wind mapping program 正在测试当中,故选b项。4.a主旨大意题。文章的第一段为本文的主题段,由此可知a项正确。【疑难词汇解读】1.undergo v.经历,经受she is
