Less than an hourlater, its pouring.And I mean pouring.Sheetsofraindownthewindowpanes pouring.Itremains one of lifes little mysteries to me how such wellintentioned andwelltrained people using such hightech equipment can be so wrong, and so often.Ive often said that if I made that many mistakes in front of so many people. Idhave been out of job 35 years ago.I grew up on the windswept(受大风侵袭的)plains ofwestern New York State. When the man on the Buffalo station said it was going tosnow,it snowed. It never failed. This was October,usually around Halloween(万圣节).He then predicted snow for the next six months,and he was neverwrong.November.December.January.February.March.April.Snow.Even as a kid,I figuredout this wasnt rocket science. But at least he was always accurate. He had noequipment,no red or blue or green spots floating across his map.In fact, Im notsure I remember a map. In those days,we all knew where we were. No map wasrequired.He got most of his forecast tips, I suspect, from his bones and how theyfelt.I have my simple theories why weather reporting is so inaccurate.Weather reportersrarely go outside. Nor can they see outside.Most of them work in windowlessbuildings.(1).The sentence“It happened again the other night”implies that _.答案：C(A).weather reporters are often fired because they are inaccurate(B).it rains much too often at night in that area of the country(C).inaccuracies in television weather reports are frequent(D).the author often watches the weather report on television(2).The phrase“fades away to sports”(Para.1)means _.答案：C(A).he goes on to talk about sports programs(B).he goes away to play sports after work(C).sports programs begin when he disappears(D).sports have to be cancelled because of rain(3).It began to rain _.答案：B(A).at 630 p.m. (B).before 730 p.m.(C).after 730 p.m. (D).by midnight(4).What the author intends to say is that weather reports are inaccuratebecause weather reporters _. 答案：D(A).are not wellequipped as expected (B).are not always responsible enough(C).go unpunished for their mistakes (D).do not conduct enough fieldwork(5).According to the author,the man on the Buffalo station was accurate inpredicting weather because _.答案：B(A).his pay depended on the tips he got from weather reports(B).what he felt in his bones helped to foresee the weather(C).it was the knowledge he gained from his ancestors(D).he could see snow coming from the windswept plains2. Mans mind is his tool of survival.The mind is used to gain,use,store,andrecall knowledge. It is his mind that enables a farmer to know what to plant, whento harvest it,how to prepare food from the result. It is his mind that enables ahunter to know what he needs to make a spear, how to make it, and how to use it. Andit is his mind that enables a blacksmith to know how to make iron tools. In short,it is the mind that enables a person to know what to do in order to survive.Mans mind allows longrange planning and thinking. It enables such longrangeplanning as required for farming,hunting, and tool making. These efforts require theability to form concepts of longterm cause and effect chains.“I need to make aspear tonight so I can hunt tomorrow and have food for the next 7 days.”These maybe environments where people could survive for a while without longrange planning,but without the results of knowledge like spears, fire,and other technologies, peopewould get outbred by other animals and die out.Mans mind is his tool for survival, but like all tools,it must be properly used.The mind makes good use of knowledge, and knowledge can only be obtained throughreason. Without reason, there is no knowledge, and thus no survival.You must recognize reality and act in accordance with it in order to besuccessful.To the extent that you use reason as your method of judgment in knowledgeand action,you will survive and flourish.If you ignore or escape from reality, youwill suffer and die.It is very important to note that survival by reason requires the freedom to actaccording to your reason.That is why people do not develop well in the control ofothers, and can not survive when they are subject to force that destroys theirability to act on reason.(1).It is his mind that enables a farmer to know how to _.答案：D(A). make spears (B). hunt for animals (C).make iron tools (D). cultivate crops(2).The first two paragraphs show that mans mind _.答案：A(A).is his basic means of survival (B).enables him to act at will(C).is used to protect themselves (D).helps him look into reality(3).In order to survive, man should _.答案：B(A).be conquered by other animals (B).make a longrange plan for the future(C).learn to recall knowledge (D).learn to think reasonably(4). Without the results of knowledge like spears,fire,and other technologies,people _.答案：D(A).could only survive for 7 days (B).would kill off all the animals(C).would be controlled by others (D).would disappear from the earth(5).It is reasonable that if people want to survive,they should _.答案：C(A).develop well in the control of others(B).ignore or escape from reality(C).have freedom to act on reason(D).be subject to certain environments3.Many language learners fail to realize that when they listen to their nativelanguage they do not actually hear every word. They also fail to understand thatthey integrate their knowledge about language with their existing experience andknowledge of such things as topic and culture, and do not need to hear every word.This means that learners often have unrealistic expectations and try to understandeach word of a listening text. As some experts point out,“such totalcomprehension.is a misconception of how normal comprehension works in the nativelanguage.”Learners anxiety may get worse when a classroom procedure does notprovide adequate context for the text or prepare the topic by activating theirprior knowledge;in other words, a procedure which asks students to “Listen to thetext and then answer the questions.”This tests listening ability rather than aimingto teach it. Adults returning to English language learning whose earlier experienceshave been of this nature may well have developed negative perceptions of theirability as listeners and a major task for the teacher will be to build confidence.This means recognizing anxiety and taking care to provide positive classroomexperiences. For examlpe, the teacher needs to make sure that the pace and length ofa listening activity is not too taxing as the concentration required in trying tocomprehend unfamiliar sounds can be tiring.(1).When they comprehend their native language by listening,many languagelearners tend to think that they _.答案：A(A).need to hear every word (B).have linguistic knowledge(C).know the culture very well (D).have some existing experience(2).
