Now satellites are helping to forecast（预报）the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere（大气）, because this is where the weather forms（形成）. They send these pictures to the weather stations. Some teorologists（气象学家）can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.
Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare（比较）them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good

“Cool”is a word with many meanings．Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold．As the world has changed，the word has had many different meaning．
“Cool”can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything．When you see a famous car in the street，maybe you will say，“It’s cool．”You may think，“He’s so cool，”when you see your favourite footballer．
We all maximize（扩大） the meaning of“cool”．You can use it instead of many words such as "new” or "surprising”．Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used．A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall（瀑布）they had visited．On one

student’s paper was Just the one sentence，“It’s so cool．Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt．
But the story also shows a scarcity（缺乏）of words．Without "cool”，some people have no words to show the same meaning．So it is quite important to keep some credibility（可信性）．Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word "cool”? I can．And I think they are also very cool．

七．阅读表达（共5小题，计10分）
阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各个小题。
The world is not hungry，but it is thirsty．It seems strange that nearly 3／4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of（短缺）water．Why？Because about 97％ of water on the earth is sea water which we can't drink or use for watering plants directly（直接地）．Man can only drink and use the 3％ of the water that comes from rivers and lakes．And we can't even use all of that，because some of it has been polluted（污染）．
Now more water is needed．The problem is：Can we avoid（避免）a serious water shortage later on？Firstly，we should all learn how to save water．Secondly，we should find out the ways to reuse it．Scientists have always been making study in this field．Today，in most large cities，water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers．But it can be used again．Even if（即使）every large city reused its water，still there would not be enough．What could people turn to next？
The sea seems to have the best answer．There is a lot of water in the sea．All that needs to be done is to get the salt（盐）out of the sea water．This is expensive，but it's already in use in many parts of the world．Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way to do it．So you see，if we can find a way out，we'll be in no danger of drying up．

Some students now have a new use for the Internet-helping them with their homework. But different people have different ideas about it.
Some students agree with it. They sometimes don’t know the answers to the problems, so they have to turn to the Internet. They think they can learn from other people. At the same time , it’s easy and it saves time.
However, not all the students welcome this. Many students think simply copying the answers won’t improve their abilities and it may make students stop thinking .
