Wouldn’t it be great if you could just look up at the sky and read the weather forecast right away? Well, you can. The forecast is written in clouds. If you can read that writing, you can tell something about the atmosphere. With some practice, you can become a pretty good weather forecaster. Who knows, you might even do as well as meteorologists（气象学家）.

Meteorologists use much more information than just the appearance of the clouds to make their forecast. They collect data（数据）from all over the world. Then they put it into powerful, high speed computers. This does give the meteorologists an advantage, because they can track（追踪）weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country. But you have an advantage, too. You can look at the sky and get your data directly. A meteorologist uses a computer forecast that’s several hours old to make a local forecast.

What are you seeing when you look at a cloud? “A picture of moisture(水汽)is doing in the atmosphere,” says meteorologist Peter Leavitt. There’s moisture throughout the atmosphere. Most of the time you don’t see it, because it’s in the form of an unseeable gas called water vapor. Sometimes, the temperature of the air gets cold enough to cause the waster vapor to change to liquid water. It’s called condensation(凝结), and we see it happen all the time (for example, when humid air from the shower hits the cold glasses of a mirror). When enough water vapor condenses（冷凝）, droplets(小滴）come in the air. These droplets scatter(分散) light. A cloud is seen.

Watching clouds over a day or two tells you a lot more than a single cloud about the weather to come. Changes in clouds show changes in the atmosphere. You should begin to notice patterns. Certain clouds, following each other in order, can signal an approaching storm. But don’t take our word for it; see for yourself.

1.According to the passage, an ordinary person might read the weather forecast as well as meteorologists _________.

A. with some simple practice looking up at the sky

B. with the help of the high-speed computers

C. through complex (复杂的) instruments

D. by visiting a weather station

2.Meteorologists can make their weather forecast　　　　 .

A. by using information of the appearance of the clouds only

B. by collecting data from parts of the world

C. by collecting and analyzing（分析）the data

D. by watching the sky

3.According to the passage, your advantage in weather forecast is that　　　　 .

A. you have a high-speed computer

B. you observe the sky and get your data directly

C. you have more instruments at home

D. you can track weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country

4.This passage mainly tells us about how to　　　 .

A. train ourselves as meteorologists

B. be an assistant to a meteorologist

C. forecast the weather by ourselves

D. broadcast the weather forecast

Looking out across the city and on top of the tall buildings before you are cows. Yes, you read that right. Farm animals are eating grass on high-rise urban farms on top of high buildings in London. Elsewhere, off the coast of mainland England, against the background of extremely beautiful White Cliffs of Dover, a wonderful pod (吊舱) structure forms part of floating city. This is how we will live 100 years from now — if a group of UK experts to be believed.

Temporary housing pods, underwater cities and 3D-printed houses will also help reduce the burden of overpopulation and inner city living-space shortages. Building with their own microclimates and cities built in the skies are also among the amazing achievements of future engineering predicted by experts.

But not only today’s architects continue to advance towards the clouds, building higher and higher, as engineering advances allow, but we’ll also be headed deep below ground. Meanwhile, the future will feature city-spanning (跨城市) bridges. Want to travel to Mars quickly? No problem — the experts are predicting spaceports (宇航基地) will become common places, so future generations will be able to head over to their local station and hitch (搭顺风车) the next ride.

The predictions were heavily focused on water - based architecture and present problems such as overpopulation, global warming and rising sea levels. Using the future tech predictions, 2,000 people were then surveyed to see which of the suggestions they thought — and hoped — would become a reality by 2115. Topping the survey was super-deep basement buildings complete with hotels, restaurants, green space, swimming pools and gyms. The survey also found that one in three respondents (调查对象) considered floating sea cities — which could use solar and tidal (潮汐的) energy — as a choice for future development.

1.The first paragraph is meant to ______.

A.present the topic B.make a comment

C.give an example D.draw a conclusion

2.The second paragraph mainly talks about ______.

A.different kinds of building structures.

B.recent development of building structures.

C.means to control the increase of population.

D.future building structures helping to solve the lack of living space.

3.The underlined phrase “local station” refers to ______.

A.air station B.traveling agency

C.spaceport D.traveling destination

4.What did people surveyed consider most practical?

A.City-spanning bridges B.Deep underground buildings

C.Floating sea cities D.slightly-deep basements
