1. 阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Cathy Martin is a hurricane hunter with the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). For six months each year, she is part of a
team that collects {#blank#}1{#/blank#} she describes as "vital data, to save
life and property."
When winds pick up, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(spin) toward the Caribbean and U. S.
coastline, Martin and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(she)
flight team spring into action.
They use instruments called dropsondes, which {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(set) free from a tube at the back of
the plane. As a dropsonde makes its 10,000-foot landing into the sea, it sends
out information about air temperature, pressure, humidity, and the speed and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(direct) of the wind.
On an eight-hour flight, Martin's team {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(typical) drops 15 to 20 dropsondes
while flying from one side of the storm {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the other, trying to cover as much ground as
possible. They head for the center (or eye) of the storm, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} there's no wind, and also search for the
strongest winds, to help people on the coast prepare for what's coming.
Sometimes, they will use an unmanned aircraft {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (gather) data closer to the ocean's surface.
Though these flights can be long,{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(tire) and often last several days in a row, Martin likes her job
and wishes she could fly every day.
