听力原文： Alright everyone, we are nearing the end of our tour. If you look to your left you will see that the building on the East side is a little different than the other buildings. It is the Eddleson building. It was designed by the famed architect Elliot Eddleson. This building, although being designed and constructed at the same time as the other buildings around his is noticeably modern in appearance. This has been attributed to Mr. Eddleson's unique appreciation of this particular aesthetic. The uniqueness of the design made for a difficult construction and due to the unusual cold weather at the time construction had to be delayed for 3 months. Our last stop in the tour will be inside the main foyer of Mr. Eddleson's masterpiece.

B．A tour guide
C．Construction worker
D．Department manager
听力原文： In a scientific context, the word "chaos" bas a slightly different meaning than it docs in its general usage as a state of confusion, lacking any order. Chaos, with reference to chaos theory, refers to an apparent lack of order in a system that nevertheless obeys particular laws or rules. The two main components of chaos theory are the ideas that systems—no matter how complex they may be—rely upon an underlying order, and that very simple or small systems and events can cause very complex behaviors or events.
The Earth's atmosphere is a chaotic system with regularly occurring weather phenomena like wind, cloud, rain, snow, fog and dust storms and less common events(natural disasters) like tornadoes, hurricanes and ice storms, so small changes to one part can have large effects elsewhere. This makes it very difficult to accurately predict weather changes more than a few days in advance, though weather forecasters are continually working to extend this limit through the scientific study of weather, Meteorology.
Chaos theory says that the slightest variation in the motion of the air will grow with time. This idea is sometimes called the butterfly effect, from the idea that the motions caused by the flapping wings of a butterfly eventually could produce marked changes in the state of the atmosphere. Because of this sensitivity to small changes it will never be possible to forecast perfectly, although there still is potential for vast improvement.

A．A state of confusion, lacking any order.
B．Chaos theory.
C．An apparent lack of order in a system.
D．Obeys particular laws or rules.
Newspaper publishers in the United States have long been enthusiastic users and
distributors of weather maps. Although some newspapers that had carried the United States
Weather Bureau's national weather map in 1912 dropped it once the novelty had passed,
many continued to print the daily weather chart provided by
(5) their local forecasting office. In the 1930's, when interest in aviation and progress in
air-mass analysis made weather patterns more newsworthy, additional newspapers
started or resumed the daily weather map. In 1935, The Associated Press (AP) news
service inaugurated its WirePhoto network and offered subscribing newspapers
morning and afternoon weather maps redrafted by the AP's Washington, B.C, office
(10)from charts provided by the government agency. Another news service, United Press
International (UPI), developed a competing photowire network and also provided
timely weather maps for both morning and afternoon newspapers. After the United
States government launched a series of weather satellites in 1966, both the AP and
UPI offered cloud-cover photos obtained from the Weather Bureau.
(15) In the late 1970's and early 1980's, the weather map became an essential
ingredient in the redesign of the American newspaper. News publishers, threatened
by increased competition from television for readers' attention, sought to package
the news more conveniently and attractively. In 1982, many publishers felt
threatened by the new USA Today, a national daily newspaper that used a page-wide,
(20)full-color weather map as its key design element. That the weather map in USA
21 Today did not include information about weather fronts and pressures attests to the
largely symbolic role it played. Nonetheless, competing local and metropolitan
newspapers responded in a variety of ways. Most substituted full-color temperature
maps for the standard weather maps, while others dropped the comparatively drab
(25)satellite photos or added regional forecast maps with pictorial symbols to indicate
rainy, snowy, cloudy, or clear conditions. A few newspapers, notably The New York
Times, adopted a highly informative yet less visually prominent weather map that
was specially designed to explain an important recent or imminent weather event.
Ironically, a newspaper's richest, most instructive weather maps often are
(30) comparatively small and inconspicuous.
What does the passage mainly discuss？
A．The differences between government and newspaper weather forecasting in the United States.
B．The history of publishing weather maps in United States newspapers
C．A comparison of regional and national weather reporting in the United States.
D．Information that forms the basis for weather forecasting in the United States
