     Geography is the study of Earth and its climates. Scientists use it to study global (全球的) warming and
track (跟踪) the weather. Govemments use it to leam where people live and work and to plan what to do with
the land. It is now easier than event. use geography because of a science called space technology.
     The United States launched its first satellite in 1958. Some space missions (使命) that followed were
geographical studies. In fact, earth science is a big part of the work of the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA).
     Astronauts looked out of the space shuttle (航天飞机). They decided to take photographs of Earth from
their vantage point. Over the years, picture quality improved. Shuttle photography now shows land features,
such as rivers. It can even show the streets oflarge cities. Photos of the same places at different times show
how the land is changing.
     NASA does not use just photographs, though. In 1958 it launched TIROS (the Television Infrared
Observation Satellite). This first use of a satellite to study Earth was effective (有效的) in giving weather
forecasts. It led to the creation of new space tools to use in geography.
     The Landsat Program began in 1972. This satellite sent detailed (细致的) views of Earth from space. The
pictures were so precise (精确) that scientists could count the number and kinds of crops in a field. Landsat
showed where Earth's surface had faults along which earthquakes might happen. This information helped in
the planning of new cities and factories. Landsat also made discoveries. In Antarctica it located ranges of
unknown mountains. It pinpointed small lakes in Virginia that were not on maps. Landsat, now more advanced,
still flies today.
     Another space tool is Earth Observing - 1 (EO - 1). This spacecraft fiies right behind Landsat. It takes
pictures of the same sites. The two sets of pictures, viewed together, show how cities grow and how other
places, such as rain forests, become smaller over time. This helps scientists learn how people affect (影响)
geography.
     One of the newest space tools is the Geographical Information Systems ( GIS). CIS is computer software
that helps scientists to study Earth. CIS is different from ear- lier space tools. Businesses, schools, and even
average people-not just the government-can use it to show them how changes in the planet might affect
them.

1. Why do govemments study geography according to the passage?

A. To improve the environment.
B. To make the land use plan.
C. To make new discoveries.
D. To count the crops in a field.

2. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. The U. S. satellite program began in 1972.
B. Landsat was able to take pictures of other planets.
C. TIROS was successful in giving weather forecasts.
D. GIS can only be used by the govemment.

3. EO -1 takes photographs of the same places as Landsat because _______.

A. the two groups of pictures can show the changes of Earth
B. EO - 1 is practicing for future photography missions
C. Landsat is out of date and new pictures are needed
D. Landsat can't send detailed views of Earth from space

4. From the passage, we can infer that _______.

A. GIS is the newest computer to study Earth
B. NASA only depends on photos to study Earth
C. satellite pictures can give more detailed informations
D. recent U. S. satellites are as advanced as the old ones

     Venice is an attractive city in Italy. Tourists throughout the world love traveling to Venice. But sometimes
you'll have such strange experiences. One moment you walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there's nothing
special. Unfortunately, when you come back to the bridge an hour later, it's underwater and everyone's wearing
rain boots.
     That's just the way it has always been, which may be considered seriously by Italian government. Before
the sea comes to Venice, the government has decided to build the MOSE gates. Actually (实际上), there were
many kinds of gates that were built to stop the floods, but all the gates were just built on the ground. Besides,
the flooding was becoming worse. Industrial (工业的) factories built nearby on the mainland also made the
condition get worse, causing the city to sink about 0.75 feet in the 20th century.
     So the Italian government asked some of Italy's biggest construction and engineering companies to build
the MOSE project, which was planned to be built under the sea water to stop floods. Now the government
are using 3 000 people and expect to spend nearly five billion euros (欧元) on it. The MOSE gates are being
built at the inlets (海湾). Each MOSE gate is 197 feet long, 28.5 to 37 feel tall, and weight up to 22 tons. It's
nearly the size of a 20-story building. Before the gates are in use, under the sea full of water. When the flood
comes, the water in the gates will be poured out, and then the gates will be filled with air. So the gates can go
up with the sea water. Once they're in the right place, they will stop the sea water pouring into Venice. These
gates will be able to deal with floods up to 10 feet, and as long as the sea level (平面) rises no more than two
feet in the next 100 years, the MOSE will work as expected.
     The MOSE project is now two-thirds done. The head engineer, Giovanni Cecconi, said, "This is a war.
During the war, it's not important that you win. It's important that you're alive. We've alive." Anyway, this
project is saving Venice from falling.

1. The underlined word "construction" in the passage means "_______" in Chinese.

A. 建筑
B. 农业
C. 交通

2. Before building the MOSE gates, the Italian government _______ to stop the floods.

A. never built gates on the ground
B. built many kinds of gates on the ground
C. built some gates which were under the ground

3. When the flood comes, _______ can describe the working steps of the MOSE gates.

4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The Italian government ate using 3000 people and expect to spend nearly five billion dollars on the MOSE.
B. The MOSE project is half done now.
C. Each MOSE gate is 197 feet long, 28.5 to 37 feet tall, and weighs up to 22 tons.

5. The best title for this passage should be _______.

A. The Journey to Venice
B. The MOSE Project in Venice
C. Several Kinds of Floods in Venice
