21、Wouldn’t it be great if you could just look up at the sky and read the weather forecast right away? Well, you can. The forecast is written in clouds. If you can read that writing, you can tell something about the atmosphere. With some practice, you can become a pretty good weather forecaster. Who knows, you might even do as well as meteorologists（气象学家）.
Meteorologists use much more information than just the appearance of the clouds to make their forecast. They collect data（数据）from all over the world. Then they put it into powerful, high speed computers. This does give the meteorologists an advantage, because they can track（追踪）weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country. But you have an advantage, too. You can look at the sky and get your data directly. A meteorologist uses a computer forecast that’s several hours old to make a local forecast.
What are you seeing when you look at a cloud? “A picture of moisture(水汽)is doing in the atmosphere,” says meteorologist Peter Leavitt. There’s moisture throughout the atmosphere. Most of the time you don’t see it, because it’s in the form of an unseeable gas called water vapor. Sometimes, the temperature of the air gets cold enough to cause the waster vapor to change to liquid water. It’s called condensation(凝结), and we see it happen all the time (for example, when humid air from the shower hits the cold glasses of a mirror). When enough water vapor condenses（冷凝）, droplets(小滴）come in the air. These droplets scatter(分散) light. A cloud is seen.
Watching clouds over a day or two tells you a lot more than a single cloud about the weather to come. Changes in clouds show changes in the atmosphere. You should begin to notice patterns. Certain clouds, following each other in order, can signal an approaching storm. But don’t take our word for it; see for yourself.
【1】According to the passage, an ordinary person might read the weather forecast as well as meteorologists _________.

A. you have a high-speed computer
B. you observe the sky and get your data directly
C. you have more instruments at home

【4】This passage mainly tells us about how to .
A. train ourselves as meteorologists
B. be an assistant to a meteorologist
C. forecast the weather by ourselves

23、In London, on February 23,1983, Emily Blunt was born into a family of high achievers. Her father was a successful lawyer, her mother — now a teacher — was formerly an actress, and her older sister, Felicity, excelled academically.
But Emily stuttered(口吃)terribly, and at the age of 12, the speaking problem caused her so much embarrassment that she stopped speaking altogether. One day, a concerned teacher saw Emily imitating some of her classmates. He encouraged her to participate in a school play, using a different accent. She agreed, and according to Emily, “I didn't stutter once. ”
At 16 she was dealt a very disappointing blow. Hoping to follow in her sister’s academic footsteps, Emily applied to the famous Westminster School but was rejected. Little did she know that rejection would lead her to the place where her life would be changed forever!
Emily instead attended a college that specialized in the performing arts. While starring in a school play, she was spotted by talent agent Roger Charteris, who arranged for the 18-year-old to audition(试演) for a London play. The director found her to be determined and authentic and offered her a part. In 2001, with only six months of formal acting experience, Emily found herself performing alongside the famed Judi Dench!
Then she began landing roles on British TV and made her film debut(初次演出)in 2004. Two short years later, Emily won the part of a lifetime, playing Meryl Streep’s assistant in The Devil Wears Prada.
An abundance of movie offers followed, including The Young Victoria, which earned Emily several nominations(提名)and awards for her portrayal of Queen Victoria.
Emily realizes now that those early setbacks led her to a place where she successfully followed her own dreams. “When I think back to those times, I think to myself, without the disappointments I’d never be here! ”

24、A college student has been going above and beyond the call of duty to protect people who are deaf or hard of hearing from risking exposure to COVID-19. Since the world has been struggling to cope with N95 face mask shortages, 21 -year-old Ashley Lawrence has been troubled by how the face masks might prevent people with hearing disabilities from communicating.
Because American Sign Language ( ASL) speakers rely heavily on lip-reading for grammar, face masks could obscure (隐藏) up to half of a person's message. Lawrence, who studies education for the deaf and hard of hearing at Eastern Kentucky University , has been conducting her schooling at home due to the novel coronavirus outbreaks - so she resolved to use her free time to make face masks for sign language speakers.
With the help of her mother, Lawrence began sewing face masks with. plastic windows over the wearer's mouth so that ASL speakers could still use lip-reading for communication. Over the course of the last few weeks，Lawrence has been shipping the masks to dozens of hospitals and deaf individuals for free. She launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for shipping, handling, and materials, but she stopped the crowdfunding (众筹) page after she reached her goal of $ 3,300 in just two days.
Although Lawrence had originally recruited a team of volunteers to make the masks for deaf people in her home community of Woodford County, Kentucky, the determined college student is now working to launch an official Facebook page and website for her newly-built DHH Mask Project as a means of meeting demand for the masks. Furthermore, Lawrence plans on posting a YouTube DIY instructional video for making the masks by the end of this week. Until then, people can request a set of free masks from Lawrence, by emailing her at dhhmaskproject@gmail.com.

B．All of their message will be prevented.
C．They needn't rely ,so heavily on lip-reading.
D．Nearly half of what they express can't be received.

A．To collect enough money for her plan.
B．To meet people's demand. for the masks.
