A new American weather satellite could save more lives by better predicting extreme weather conditions. It will be in orbit(軌道）some 36,000 kilometers above Earth’s surface. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, also known as NOAA, has been working with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on the project.

NOAA officials are calling the new satellite GOES-R. That is short for a much longer name—the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R Series. NOAA said GOES-R could improve the nation's ability to observe weather conditions and make weather predictions. It said the satellite's operation would lead to more exact and timely weather forecasts watches and warnings.

The government agency said the satellite will require testing of its six instruments and will be ready to work “within a year."

"The next generation of weather satellites is finally here." said NOAA Administrator Kathryn Sullivan. She described GOES-R as one of the most complicated Earth-observing machines ever created. Sullivan said its instruments will be able to study Earth five times faster and with four times more detail than any other NOAA satellite currently in operation. She believes this will make the United States an even stronger, more “Weather-Ready" nation.

A NOAA statement said the greater detail will help improve the agency’s study of ocean storms, as well as “the prediction and warnings of severe weather. "In addition, GOES-R will be able to provide improved rainfall estimates (預(yù)計(jì)), which will lead to more timely and detailed flood warning. The statement also said that GOES-R will give better estimates of wind strength, as well as better measurement of fog, ice or lightning strikes.

Craig Fugate serves as administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. He says that the GOES-R satellite will improve the ability of people and organizations across America to prepare for, and react to, weather-related disasters.

1.What’s the purpose of this new American satellite?

A. To test new instruments. B. To improve people’s lives.

C. To forecast weather disasters. D. To replace old weather satellites.

2.What benefit will the U. S.

A. get from the satellite’s operation?

A. The advantages to own the most advanced technology.

B. More accurate and timely weather information.

C. The ability to monitor the earth from high space.

D. More powerful ability to control the weather.

3.What do you know about the satellite from Paragraph 5?

A. Which aspects the satellite can improve.

B. When the satellite can find severe weather.

C. How the satellite helps to study the oceans.

D. How long the satellite forsees a weather disaster.

4.Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Weather Predictions Expected to Improve with New U. S. Satellite.

B. Fighting Disasters Needs More Exact Weather Predictions.

C. New Science and Technology Used in New Weather Satellite.

D. American Weather Prediction Takes a Lead in the World.
