At one time or another, we have all stopped to think about the weather. Some days, the weather is 1 . Some days, the weather is bad. Sometimes, a day that seems bad turns out better than we 2 it would be. There 3 ways to understand the weather. One way is to study the clouds.
No two clouds are 4 alike. We can see different kinds of clouds and watch them for signs of 5 weather. To forecast the weather, there are three things about clouds we should look at: the 6 , colour and change. As a rule, 7 the clouds are, the better the weather will be. And the lower the clouds are, the worse the weather will be. Cumulus clouds(积云) are 8 sign of good weather.
These are clouds we often see 9 warm summer days. Clouds can tell us 10 a storm is on the way. If the thick, fluffy(轻软状的) cumulus clouds get 11 early in the day, then we know it is going to rain. If a sudden, cool and dark cloud 12 , then a storm is about to break out.
Colours in the sky tell us about the weather too. A golden ring 13 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(n) 14 too. The colours of the rainbow come from the sun’s rays(光线) shining through the falling rain. If we see the sun in the east and a rainbow in the west, the rain may be 15 . If the sun is in the west and the rainbow is in the east, the rain will be moving away from us.

Terrible weather events are harming the planet, and experts warn of even greater results to come. The sea ice loss and the Arctic ice melting(融化) caused by climate change have increased much in the last ten years. So they have pushed down the number of polar bears and seals while polar bears depend on sea ice to hunt seals.
According to the data from the WMO, temperatures in Antarctica(南极洲) hit 18.3 ℃ in 2020, which was higher than the record of 17.5 ℃ in March, 2015. Moreover, temperatures in this area have warmed about 3 ℃ over the last 50 years. Although such temperatures might be considered pleasant for a picnic or a hiking trip, this is the Antarctica we are talking about. It is home to the most inhospitable environment on the planet because it is supposed to be an extremely cold place. In fact, the average temperature of the continent’s central area is -57 ℃.
Besides, many places are experiencing the extreme weather. Australia is undergoing its worst drought(干旱) since the 1930s, leaving bushfires burning so long and causing many deaths. Meanwhile in Europe, crops in the northwest are suffering the driest weather in the past 80 years. West Texas in America has also gone through its worst drought in more than 70 years, while floods have hit Eastern and Southern China.
“Climate change is bad for us human beings, which causes direct health problems. I’m afraid there will be more common events like the one that 30,000 to 50,000 persons died in Europe in 2003 due to the heat wave there,”Professor Schwartz said.“It will also cause more air pollution, diseases and lack of clean water and so on.”
( A )6. The passage didn’t mention that may bring down the number of polar bears.
A. hunting B. climate change
C. the sea ice loss D. the Arctic ice melting
( C )7. What can you learn from this passage?
A. The Antarctica is pleasant for a hiking trip.
B. Extreme weather leads to bushfires burning in Europe.
C. Climate change will cause air pollution and diseases.
D. The temperatures in Antarctica hit the highest in March, 2015.
A
C
( D )8. What does the underlined word“inhospitable”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Comfortable to live. B. Friendly to live.
C. Unhealthy to live. D. Unfit to live.
( D )9. Which place that the passage didn’t mention is experiencing drought?
A. Europe. B. Australia. C. America. D. China.
( C )10. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The whole planet is drier and drier.
B. The Antarctica is warmer and warmer.
C. Climate change is getting worse and worse.
D. The number of polar bears is smaller and smaller.

七、 任务型阅读。(每小题2分,共10分)
No one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read the signs around us correctly, we can tell what important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like in the next few days is called the weather forecast(天气预报). For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make a weather forecast.
Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. Many people feel the coming of wet weather because their joints(关节) hurt. Some birds will fly high if fine weather is coming, but they will fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If the stars twinkle(闪烁) 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 colour, then the following day will be fine. If you see a rainbow during the rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, the rainy weather will probably come.
People use their eyes and brains to make a weather forecast by different natural signs.

My favourite season
Hello, everyone! Spring is my favourite season. It’s not too cold or too hot. It’s usually warm and sunny. Everything grows in nature. Trees turn green and flowers come out. Bees and butterflies play among flowers. Different colours of the flowers make our city more beautiful. At the weekend, I always invite my friends to do some outdoor activities. Sometimes we fly kites when it is windy. We run happily on the grass and feel very excited. Moreover, we can go on a trip to a hill or have picnics on sunny days. That’s the best part of spring.
That’s all. Thanks for listening.
