Question

【題目】 No one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting. For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. Many people feel in their bones the coming of wet weather, their joints(關(guān)節(jié)) hurt. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. It is probably because the insects which they are hunting fly low. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in color, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come. Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹人們是如何預(yù)測(cè)天氣變化的。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第七句“Many people feel in their bones the coming of wet weather, their joints(關(guān)節(jié)) hurt.”可知，很多人通過他們的關(guān)節(jié)疼痛感知下雨天氣的來臨。由此可知，人們的關(guān)節(jié)疼痛是下雨天氣來臨的跡象。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知，選項(xiàng)A正確。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第八句“Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way.”和第十一句“If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue.”可知，如果好天氣要來臨，一些鳥會(huì)飛高，但是如果雨天或者暴風(fēng)雨來臨，他們會(huì)在地面附近飛翔。如果星星在夜晚清晰地閃爍，那么好的天氣將會(huì)繼續(xù)。由此可見，鳥飛的高和星星清晰地閃爍是一種天氣將會(huì)變好和晴朗的跡象。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知，選項(xiàng)C正確。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三句“But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be.”，第五句“For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting.”以及最后一句“Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.”可知，但是如果我們能正確地讀懂我們周圍的跡象，我們能判斷未來天氣更重要的變化。在所有國家，人們已經(jīng)研究天氣并且努力做天氣預(yù)測(cè)很多世紀(jì)了。以上所說的大部分都是人們使用他們的眼睛和大腦去做天氣預(yù)測(cè)制作出來的。由此可見，我們必須正確地讀懂跡象，認(rèn)真研究天氣以及使用我們的眼睛和大腦去做天氣預(yù)測(cè)。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知，選項(xiàng)D正確。
