At one time or another we have all stopped to think about the weather. Some days the weather is good. Some days the weather is bad. Sometimes a day that seems bad turns out better than you thought it would. There are ways of understanding the weather. One way is to study the clouds. No two clouds are ever alike. We can see the different kinds of clouds and watch them for signs of changing weather. To forecast the weather, there are three things about clouds. you should look for: movement, colour, and change. As a rule, the higher the clouds, the better the weather. And the lower the clouds, the worse the weather is likely to be. Fair-weather cumulus clouds* are another sign of good weather. These are clouds we often see on warm summer days. Clouds can tell you if a storm is on the way. If the thick, fluffy cumulus clouds get bigger early in the day, then you know it will rain. If there is a sudden, cool and dark thunder* cloud appears, then a storm is about to break out. Colours in the sky tell us about the weather, too. A golden ring around the moon warns us that a storm is on the way. A watery yellow sunset is a sign that rain may be near. The rainbow* has a message, too. The colours of the rainbow come from the sun rays shining through falling rain. If you see the sun in the east and a rainbow in the west, the rain may be coming your way. If the sun is in the west and the rainbow is in the east, the rain will be moving away from you.

試題分析：
我們經(jīng)常研究天氣。有些日子天氣還是不錯的。有些日子天氣不好。了解天氣的方法就是研究云。沒有兩個云是一樣的。我們可以看到不同種類的云，看著他們因天氣轉(zhuǎn)變的跡象。為了預(yù)報天氣，有三件事情了解云。你應(yīng)該看看：運動，顏色和變化。作為一項規(guī)則，云越高天氣就越好。天朗積云是好天氣的另一個標(biāo)志。天空的顏色告訴我們天氣狀況，金黃色的光環(huán)繞月球告誡我們，一場風(fēng)暴即將來臨。水樣黃色的夕陽即將下雨。彩虹也能預(yù)報天氣。如果你看到太陽在東部，西部的彩虹，雨可能未來的路。如果太陽在西部和彩虹是在東部地區(qū)，雨水將遠(yuǎn)離你。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文中語句“There are ways of understanding the weather. One way is to study the clouds.”理解可知。研究云彩可以預(yù)知天氣，故選A。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文中語句“As a rule, the higher the clouds, the better the weather.”理解可知。作為一項規(guī)則，云彩越高，天氣越高，故選B。
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文中語句“The colours of the rainbow come from the sun rays shining through falling rain.”理解可知。彩虹的顏色來自陽光，故選A。
小題4:理解歸納題，根據(jù)文中語句理解可知，本文主要介紹了不同的云彩預(yù)示不同的天氣，故選D。
小題5:歸納總結(jié)題，根據(jù)文中語句“理解可知D為正確答案包括A、B、C三個選項的內(nèi)容。
點評：這類文章經(jīng)常會有較多的生詞，但是這些生詞對文章并沒有實質(zhì)的影響，考生要抓住主要的細(xì)節(jié)要點進(jìn)行分析。

“Everything happens for the best.” Whenever I faced disappointment(失望),my mother would say this to me.
After I left college in 1932, I decided to find a job in radio as a sports announcer(廣播員). I went to Chicago and knocked at the door of every station. But unluckily, I was refused every time.
At one station, a kind lady told me that big stations wouldn’t hire（雇傭）a person without any experience and suggested that I try my luck at smaller stations. Following her advice, I went back to Dixon, where I had grown up. There were no such jobs in Dixon, and my father said a newly-opened store wanted a local athlete(運動員)to work for it . I wanted this job, but I was refused again.
“Everything happens for the best,” Mom reminded me. Dad offered me the car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office, I felt so frustrated(沮喪). “How can I become a sports announcer if I can’t get a job in a radio station?” I asked aloud.
While I was waiting for the lift, I heard someone calling. It was MacArthur. “What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he asked me to have a try. He was pleased with my performance, and he offered me a chance to work there.
On my way home, I thought of my mother’s words: “If you carry on, one day something good will happen. Something wouldn’t have happened if without the failure before.”

Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never learn to swim just by reading books about Swimming or looking at others swimming. It’s the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.
Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn’t matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.
Somebody may be a good listener, but he is afraid to speak because he’s afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone as long as he knows English. When there’s nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It’s interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make.
Reading and writing are more important for senior（年級較高的）school students. First we must choose the books we’re interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is very important.
It’s easier said than done. Well, let’s do more practice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English well in this way.
