of the most damaging types of weather begin quickly，strike suddenly,and disappear rapidly，destroying small areas while leaving neighboring areas untouched,Such event as a tornado(龙卷风)struck the northeastern part of Edmonton，Alberta，in July 1987 Total damages from the tornado went beyond 250 million，the highest ever for any Canadian storm Traditional computer models of the atmosphere have limited value in predicting shortlived local storms like the Edmonton tornado because the available weather data are generally not detailed enough to allow computers to study carefully the slight atmospheric changes that come before these stormsIn most nations，for example，weatherballoon observations are taken just once every twelve hours at places separated by hundreds of milesWith such limited data，traditional forecasting models do a much better job predicting general weather conditions over large areas than they do forecasting specific local events Until recently，the observation intensive method needed for exact，very shortrange forecasts，or“Nowcasts，”was not possibleThe cost of equipping and operating many thousands of conventional weather stations was extremely high，and the difficulties concerned in rapidly collecting and processing the weather data from such a network were hard to overcome Fortunately，scientific and technological advances have overcome most of these problemsRadar(雷达)systems and satellites are all able to make detailed，nearly continuous observation over large areas at a lower costCommunications satellites can send out data around the world cheaply and immediately，and modern computers can quickly collect and analyze this large amount of weather information Meteorologists(气象学者)and computer scientists now work together to design computer programs and video equipment able to change weather data into words and graphic displays(图解)that forecasters can understand easily and quicklyAs meteorologists have begun using these new technologies in weather forecasting offices，nowcasting is becoming a reality 56Why cant traditional computer models predict short lived local storms?AThe weather data people collect are often wrong BDetailed weather data in some small areas are not available CThe computers are not advanced enough to predict them DThe computers are not used to forecast specific local events 57The word“Nowcast”in Paragraph 3 means .Aa network to collect storm data Ba way of collecting weather data Ca more advanced system of weather observation 座位号 准考证号 封 线 2012 年高考英语模拟试卷 第 5 页 共 11 页 Da forecast which can predict weather in the small area 58What can make“Nowcasts”a reality according to the passage?AScientific and technological advances BAdvanced computer programs CComputer scientists DMeteorologists 59What does the passage mainly talk about?AThe advantages of“Nowcasts”BA tornado in Edmonton，Alberta CThe difficulty in predicting tornado DA great development in weather forecast B As I crammed myself onto a crowded train this morning，I noticed there was a very pregnant(怀孕的)woman standing near me，jammed in tightly and hanging on for dear lifeI looked at the passengers sitting in the seats that are supposed to be surrendered to the elderly，physically challenged，and other people who need to sit，Not one of them even looked up；everyone was too absorbed in what they were listening to，reading，or watching to even notice the pregnant passenger Over the past few years，there have been countless discussions on minding our manners within our new modes of communicationBut while weve been debating the dos and doesnt of technology etiquette(礼节)，it appears that many of us have forgotten some of the old school manners that have nothing to do with a keyboard or a monitor，but have everything to do with the long forgotten Golden Rule Maybe technology has eroded our brains so much that we can never go back to those golden days“Giving up your seat to someone is so easy Even when people dont accept your offer，I think its nice to get up and stay standing so they know youre sincere The more that we become the good example，the more it will catch on”Lizzie Post，says great-great granddaughter of Emily Post Sophisticated technology doesnt mean that good manners have to be a thing of the pastIn fact，Post says she defines good manners using three simple，everyday principles：consideration，respect，and honesty“Apply those to any situation and toward all the people involved including yourself and the solution will make sense”60No one gave up his seat to the pregnant women because .AThe woman doesnt need a seat at all BIts not common to give up his seat to others who need it CNo one noticed her on the such crowed train DEveryone is so tired that all want to have a rest 61Paragraph 2 suggests that .AWe are always having discussions on minding our manners BMany of us have forgotten some of the old school manners CIts technology that has eroded our brains so much DStudents always care about their own business instead of school manners 62The underlined phrase“catch on”in the third paragraph refers to .Abeing understood Bbeing popular Cbeing taken Dbeing caught 63What did Lizzie Post say shows that she was？Ahonest Bpolite Crespectable Dfriendly C The best way to explain how the stock（股票）market works is to imagine that you get together with four of your friends and form a company to produce a soda with a new taste,which you are going to sell in a pressurized bottle.You find that you need$600 for the expenese involved in starting the business.One of you contributes$200;a second,only$50;a third,$150;a fourth,$100;and the fifth,also$100.In order to be fair to everyone,you decide that each of you will be given sheets of paper on which it is stated that every sheet of paper represents$10 of the present value of the company.This means that there will be 60 2012 年高考英语模拟试卷 第 6 页 共 11 页 sheets of paper together.The person who contributed$200 will receive 20 of these sheets,while the one who gave$50 will get 5.If you give$100,then you will receive 10 of these sheets.Each sheet,shich is called a stock certificate,actually indicates that you own 1 share of stock in the company.Therefore,you now own 10 shares in the company.To own a share means that you are a part owner of the company.Imagine now that when people find the soda tasty they want to drink more and more of it.In fact,business is so good that the originally worth$10 each is now worth$30.That means that your 10 shares have jumped in value to$30.If you want to sell some or all of these shares to anyone else,the price will be$30 per share.64This passage is mainly about .Aa description of how to set up a soda company Ban illusion of the operation of the stock market Can explanation of how to share the profit of a company Dan example to show what a company is 65If the company loses money,the persons who contribute money .Awill get back exactly the same amount of money they contributed Bwill be given fewer shares of profit Cwill lose all the money they contributed Dwill not be able to sell the stocks they own 66Which of the following statements is TRUE of the stock market?AThe stock holder must sell his shares at the original price.BThe stock owner can sell his shares at any price he likes.CThe stock owner must sell his shares at a lower price.DThe stock holder can sell his shares at the price of its pr
