　　“Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people undertand what it is to move．”said David Belle, the founder of parkour(跑酷)．

　　Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring．But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks ove ________ obstacles on the way．It is just because of Bond's wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide．

　　Yes, that's parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to anoth-er as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body．Parkour is considered an extreme sport．As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop．

　　Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see park-our much more than that．

　　Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy(理念)behind parkour．This is the same as life．You must detemine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully．A parkour lover said,“I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything．”

　　Another hilosophy we've learnt from parkour is freedom．It can done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world．It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence．

A weather map is an important tool for geographers. A succession of three or four maps presents a continuous picture of weather changes. Weather forecasters are able to determine the speed of air masses and fronts. They are also able to determine whether an air mass is retaining its original characteristics or taking on those of the surface over which it is moving. Thus, a most significant function of the map is to reveal an synoptic picture(气象图) of conditions in the atmosphere at a given time.?

All students of geography should to interpret a weather map accurately. Weather maps contain an enormous amount of information about weather conditions existing at the time of observation over a large geographical area. They reveal in a few minutes what otherwise would take hours to describe. The United States Weather Bureau issues information about approaching storms, floods, frosts, droughts and all climate conditions in general. Twice a month it issues a 30-day “outlook” which is a rough guide to weather conditions likely to occur over broad areas of the United States. These outlooks are based on an analysis of the upper air levels.?

With the use of electronic instruments and satellites, enormous gains have taken place recently in identifying and tracking storms over regions which have but few meteorological stations(气象站).Experiments are also in progress for weather modification studies, although few successful results such as artificial rainmaking have been achieved so far.?

Which is not mentioned in this passage in the following about one characteristic of weather?

A. Fronts. B. Temperature change. C. Wind speed. D. Frost.?

The observation of weather conditions by satellites is advantageous because

_______.

A. it is modern and sophisticated?

B. it used electronic instruments?

C. it enables man to alter the weather?

D. it gives the scientists information not obtained readily otherwise?

The word “interpret” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _______

A. explain B. present C. modify D. illustrate
