29、 for governments and other groups to help guide their decision-making.Then where does weather come from? The sun provides energy that drives the weather.Other factors (因素) also play a role.These include Earth’s oceans, its land cover, the chemistry of its atmosphere and the planet’s rotation (旋轉(zhuǎn))．If

30、 any of those were different, we’d experience different weather patterns. And if the planet were just a bare rock orbiting a star, there would be no weather at all. Not so long ago in human history, weather was just something that happened.People would know generally what to expect from season to s

31、eason.An area’s climate — the long-term average of weather — didn’t tend to change much from year to year.People might know to expect snow in winter, for example, and hot weather in summer.But they wouldn’t know if it’d snow on any particular day or whether some July drought (干旱) would develop, putt

Today, you only need to turn on the TV or pull out your phone to have a prediction for what the upcoming weather will be.“People always say the weatherman is wrong，” notes Petty, “which is not really true.Actually, we never fault the weatherman when it’s beautiful outs

33、ide, and we only notice when the forecast goes wrong.” Scientists have understood the basic physics behind the weather for so long.But they require computer models and reliable weather data to turn that knowledge into reliable forecasts.Today, computers take that knowledge of what Earth is like and

34、 use it to predict the weather.And that’s one of the reasons why forecasts aren’t always right — there just aren’t enough data for those computer models to work with. Nowadays, scientists are working to improve forecasts.Because of the complexity of Earth’s system, computer models still can’t repro

35、duce everything going on with the planet, which limits the accuracy of forecasts.However, weather forecasts, imperfect as they sometimes seem, already are a key piece of knowledge in today’s world. 語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。天氣預報有時候不是很準確，其中有哪些影響因素呢？ 12．What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?

37、 show that climate . A．is relatively stable B．is quite dependable C．is different in areas D．is easily predictable 解析：選A　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的“An area’s climate — the long-term average of weather — didn’t tend to change much from year to year.”可知，此處舉例是為了說明氣候的相對穩(wěn)定性。 14．What results in the inaccur

38、acy of forecasts according to Kevin Petty? A．The errors by computer models. B．The weatherman’s carelessness. C．The lack of enough weather data.

39、data for those computer models to work with.”可知，缺少足夠的數(shù)據(jù)是導致天氣預報有時候不準確的原因。 15．What is the author most likely to mention if he continues to write? A．Advantages of weather forecasts.

40、s. 解析：選A　推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一句“However, weather forecasts, imperfect as they sometimes seem, already are a key piece of knowledge in today’s world.”可判斷，接下來作者極有可能舉例說明天氣預報的重要性，即給人們的生活帶來的好處。 Ⅱ.閱讀七選五 Christmas is a time for relaxing, having fun and spending time with family and friends. 16 It can be diff
