Cloze test.
Now, people use satellites (卫星) to do many things. So far, man has invented four kinds of satellites.
1 of them is used to study the weather. Weather satellites can
2 any part of the world. They can watch clouds
and strong winds moving across the earth and
3 many pictures of atmosphere (大气层)
4 the same time.
The pictures
5 the weather stations by these satellites. Scientists can know
6 the weather will change by
studying them, and then tell people in time. Weather plays an
7 part in people's everyday life.
Today, many weather stations in the world can receive satellite pictures. After receiving them, the scientists
compare (比较) them with
8 ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds
9 during the last few hours. This
may mean that weather on the ground may
10 change soon. In their next forecast (预测), the scientists can
11 this. so satellite pictures are
12 to scientists.
13 satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about twenty-four or forty-eight
14 . Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Thanks
15 weather satellites, people can know
more about the weather.
