ClozeUnit 1NO.1When Hitler decided to launch his invasion of Russia, he thought that nothing could stand in the way of his armies. Conquest, it seemed, was inevitable. He had surprise on his side, catching Stalin off his guard by launching his attack without a declaration of war. Hitler expected the campaign to last only a few months. In the event, it was to drag on for much longer. Like Napoleon before him, he had made a fatal mistake in failing to reckon with the severity of the Russian weather. Many German soldiers were to die from the cold as winter set in, bringing the German advance to a half.NO.2In the 21st century, clouds and stormy weather no longer automatically bring military operations to a half or force a change in targets. Technologies such as the Global Positioning System now allow cruise missiles（巡航导弹）and other smart weapons to home in on（瞄准并飞速接近）their targets. But the weather still is a factor that must be reckoned with, especially with precision-guided weapons that must be highly accurate to be effective.Fortunately, the ability to obtain weather forecasts will get better. In the next few years, remote weather sensors will grow rapidly on unmanned vehicles. This will create a network of observing platforms that will give commanders a(n) instant overviews of weather in the battle zone. In some areas you’ll have direct delivery of weather information straight from the computers to black boxes in aircraft and other vehicles. That will be especially important for target-bound aircraft.Such technology will give whoever possess it a tremendous dege（优势）over their enemy and enable them to use developing weather conditions to their advantage. As we get superior satellites into space, we’ll gain huge advantage in observing meteorological conditions in denied areas, where we don’t have people on the ground. And our modeling ability will continue to improve as our computers get more powerful. The past 10 years have witnessed a revolution powerful. The past 10
