motion cause weather patterns-to consider. even the best forecast can be changed by a small weather disturbance halfway around the world. todays forecast use complex computer models, weather instruments, and detailed analyses of daily observations to predict the weather. however, it hasnt always been that way. people, like your grandparents, use folklore and proverbs to help forecast the weather. they remembered what conditions caused changes and observed the factors associated with weather: atmospheric and cloud conditions, temperature, winds, and reactions of plants and animals. many people believe that this way of forecasting weather is accurate more often than modem forecasting.grandmas aching joints might indicate the arrival of a low-pressure system. she might also observe the geese flying lower than usual, confirming the low-pressure system. finally, she might feel dampness on her skin, a sign of high humidity (湿度). based on these three observations, grandma might warn that a storm is brewing.joints and nerves can indicate dropping air pressure, dissolved gases in the blood form bubbles under low air pressure. this causes pain in joints and nerve endings. geese and other birds respond to changes in air pressure by adjusting how high they fly. in the fair, calm weather of a high-pressure system, the birds fly higher than in the stormy weather associated with a low-pressure system.nature provides other clues to changing weather. a decrease in air pressure causes deer and elk to come down from the mountains to look for shelter. some animals feed more than usual. the higher humidity before a storm causes some insects to leave the trees and gather near the ground. some flowers close so rain doesnt get inside them. in winter, rhododendron plants curl up to protect themselves as the temperature drops.several of the sayings apply in particular areas of the world. here are some of them.early thunder, early spring.rainbow in the morning 8ives you fair warning.when teeth and bones and bunions ache, expect the clouds to fill the lake.when high clouds and tow clouds do not match together, prepare for a blow and a change in the weather.4. it is true that _. a. using folklore and proverbs to forecast weather is more accurate than modem forecasting b. complex computer models and weather instruments can always forecast weather accurately c. modern forecasting cannot always guarantee accurate weather forecasting for some reason d. modem forecasting along with other observations is sure to give accurate weather forecast5. in a low-pressure system, you may notice the following except that _. a. some birds will be seen flying near the surface of the earth b. some flowers close so rain doesnt get inside c. some animals come down from mountains d. some insects disappear from ground6. it is a fact that the behaviour of plants and animals is _. a. likely to reflect long-term weather forecasting b. likely to reflect short-term weather forecasting c. unlikely to reflect any kind of weather forecasting d. more likely to reflect both short-term and long. term weather forecasting7. what does the passage mainly tell us? a. people can

however, the answers provided by japanese preschools are not the ones americans expected to find. in most japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. in one survey, 300 japanese and 210 american preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. only 2 percent of the japanese respondents (答问卷者)listed “to give children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. in contrast, over half the american respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. to prepare children for successful careers in the first grade and beyond, japanese preschools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as determination, concentration, and the ability to work as a member of a group. the huge majority of young japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents. like in america, there is diversity (多样性)in japanese early childhood education. some japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. in large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools. some japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the childrens chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated (一流的)schools and universities. several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing (智能化)in some japanese kindergartens. 1. we learn from the first paragraph that many americans believe_.a. japanese parents are more involved in preschool education than american parents b. japans economic success is a result of its scientific achievements c. japanese preschool education emphasizes academic instruction d. japans higher education is superior to theirs 2. in japans preschool education, the focus is on_.a. preparing children academicallyb. developing childrens artistic interests c. developing childrens potentiald. shaping childrens character 3. why do some japanese parents send their children to university-based kindergartens? a. they can do better in their future studies. b. they can make more group experience grow there. c. they can be self-centered when they grow up. d. they can have better chances of getting a top-rated education. 4. free play has been introduced in some japanese kindergartens in order to_.a. broaden childrens knowledge b. train childrens creativityc. lighten childrens study load d. enrich childrens experience【参考答案】14、cddc 【江西省上饶市2014高考英语二模试题】阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的词数要求。答案写在答卷纸上）1 in ancient greece, there was a great philosopher
