单元课时知识点睛
What are you up to
be up to意为“忙于，从事，正在做”，常用于口语中。
eg：I haven't seen you recently.What are you up to
【拓展】be up to sb. 意为“由某人决定”。
eg：Don't worry.It's up to me.
I haven't started yet because I'm not sure how to make it.
(1)yet副词，意为“还；尚”。常用于现在完成时，多用于否定句和疑问句。not...yet 意为“还没；尚未”表示某件事在某一时间尚未发生，但未来也许会发生。
(2)“疑问词＋to do”结构可用作宾语，相当于宾语从句。
So have they discovered life on Mars
discover及物动词，意为“发现；找到”。
eg：Who discovered America
【辨析】discover，find与invent
(1)discover意为“发现”，指发现世界上存在的，但在此之前并未被人所知的事物、地点、思想等。
(2)find意为“发现；找到”，指无意识地发现。
(3)invent意为“发明”，指创造出原本不存在的东西。

(1)arrive不及物动词，arrive in/at＋地点名词(in＋大地点，at＋小地点)。
(2)reach 及物动词，reach＋地点名词。
(3)get 不及物动词，get to＋地点名词。
(4)当地点是副词home，here等时，其结构为get＋地点副词＝arrive＋地点副词，如果没有地点时只用arrive。

He got/arrived there at 10：00.
When did you arrive

根据短文内容，回答文后的问题。
Have you ever heard of satellites (卫星)？What are they used for
Satellites are helping to forecast (预报) the weather now.They are in space，and they can reach any part of the world.The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere(大气)，where the weather forms.They send these pictures to the weather stations.So meteorologists (气象学家)can see the weather of any part of the world.From the pictures，the scientists can often say how the weather will change so that it can work better for people.
Nowadays，more and more countries have weather satellites.About five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures.When they receive the new pictures，the meteorologists compare them with the earlier ones.Perhaps they may find the clouds have changed during the last few hours.This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change too.Before satellites were invented，the meteorologists could only forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours.Now they can make good forecasts for about two weeks.Soon they may be able to forecast the weather for more than two weeks or more ahead.
16．What can satellites do for meteorologists according to the passage
The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere.
17．How many weather stations are there in sixty countries nowadays
About five hundred.
18.What may it mean if the clouds have changed
This may mean that the weather may soon change.
19.How long can satellites make good forecasts for now
For about two weeks.
20.What's the main idea of this passage
Satellites are used for forecasting the weather. (共10张PPT)
