Hello everyone, this is your head master, mister dodds, and speaking, i'm sure you've all noticed the snowsill orm has become worse since we arrived here at AM. The school staff and I apologize for not realizing how heavy the storm would be. IT was reported that there would be five centimetres of snow, but indeed, we currently have doubled that amount, and it's expected to become over twenty centimeters by three o'clock. So what does that mean? IT will require classes to wet. Now at eleven o'clock, lunch will still be served in the cafeteria. You may have IT now for senior students who have driven to school. You're welcome to drive home, but please be careful for everyone else. The school buses are coming at noon. You are advised to wait in the cafeteria until then, but please for everyone in the school, call your parents to tell them what you're doing. It's quite a dangerous situation out there right now. And by the savings, we'll have almost a meter of snow on ground. Next, wait for an announcement from our school bus driver, jie Johnson. He will tell you more information about bus cheatle and safety advice. Thanks, everyone, and please stay safe out there. Hello, everyone. This is your head master, mister dodson speaking.

This morning we’re seeing sun with cloudy periods. Right now I am at the top of Mount Raven where it is two degrees and expected to rise to about six degrees by noon. Overnight temperatures will probably drop to at least minus seven. Tomorrow’s forecast calls for more snow with a high of zero and a low of minus twelve with the strong north wind, which could put us at a record low of minus twenty. Conditions are perfect for skiing this weekend, but if you’re heading out to the mountains tomorrow, please remember to put on warm clothing to avoid a cold. We’ll go back to the newsroom now. M: Now, let’s look at some local news. 4. B 5. A 6. B 【原文】W: What a lovely day! M: Yes. There’s a feeling of spring in the air today. I wish it were spring all year round. W: You really love spring. I like winter best. What is the weather like here in winter? M: It’s pretty cold. But it doesn’t snow often. What is the weather like in your country? W: Summer is a bit hotter than here, but winter isn’t so cold. M: How about spring and autumn? W: Lovely, especially in spring. M: I see. You said you’d seen hurricanes before. Do they often occur in your country? W: No. About once a year. M: I’ve never seen a hurricane. It must be scary. W: Exactly. M: Oh, it’s seven o’clock now. Let’s listen to the weather report on the radio. 7. C 8. A 9. C 10. B 【原文】W: Don’t you find the weather can affect your mood? Yesterday it was foggy and dark. I felt sad and negative. Now today it is sunny and I feel so excited. I am looking forward to going to school. M: Yes, most people feel happier when it’s sunny. And the good news is that the sunny weather is going to last. W: The forecast said there would be rain — but only tomorrow. The rest of the week will be fine. M: I was confused when they mentioned rain, but it won’t last too long. Do you think sunshine affects your schoolwork? W: Certainly. History and geography feel a lot easier when it’s sunny. But the biggest difference is in art. I feel so creative when the sun shines. M: Sunshine has the same effect on your mother, and it was the same for Grandma and Grandpa. It must run in the family. W: I’m sure you are the same. It’s a very common thing. M: Yes. So, you are going to enjoy school. Let’s hope I enjoy my work. 11. A 12. C 13. B 【原文】W: Tell us something, Mr. Smith, about New York City. M: It is a wonderful city, maybe the most interesting city in the world today, but I’m afraid the weather is not very good. W: Is it very cold in New York, Mr. Smith? M: Sometimes it’s very cold, and sometimes it’s very hot. On some days in winter it seems that there is no colder place in the world because the air, while cold, is also wet. And in summer it’s very hot. There is little wind. The air is often damp and heavy. W: Is the weather always unpleasant? M: Oh, no. There are many beautiful days in New York, especially in spring and in autumn.The really unpleasant part is that the weather in New York changes often and so suddenly. 14. B 15. A 16. C 【原文】W: Tom, anything interesting in today’s newspaper? M: I don’t think so, honey. But a sudden period of extreme weather hit a Chinatown in central Melina, no, Lin fink, Canada. It has broken Canada’s all-time hottest temperature record. W: That’s really shocking. People there must have suffered greatly. M: You’re right. The local people tried to stay safe and beat the heat in various ways. W: It must have caused heavy losses. M: That’s true. The extreme heat resulted in schools being shutdown, drove up the price of natural gas and burned crops. W: Does the extreme heat have anything to do with climate change? M: Quite likely. Experts say that climate change is expected to increase the frequency of extreme weather events, such as heat waves. W: That’s too terrible. I think the whole world should work together to prevent global warming. M: I can’t agree more. 17. A 18. C 19. B 20. A 【原文】W: Hey, Jack. Are you ready to study abroad? M: Well, not really. I still have to prepare some clothes. W: Well, what’s the weather like where you’re going? M: Well, uh, it’s really hot in summer, so I’m going to buy some shorts and a few T-shirts. W: What about the rest of the year? M: People say that the fall can still be warm until November, so my mother has bought some jeans and a few casual shirts for me. W: Will you need any warm clothes for the winter? M: Well, the weather doesn’t get too cold, but it often snows in the mountains, so I’m going to pack a couple of warm sweaters, a jacket, and a hat. I don’t have room in my suitcase to pack a coat, so I’m going to wait until I get there and buy it when I really need it. W: Are you going to take anything else? M: They say it rains cats and dogs in spring, but again, I’ll just go to pick up a raincoat later on. 21. B 22. A 23. A 24. C 【原文】W: Hello, everyone, this is Weather Watch! Today, we have a special guest who’s taking us to the heart of nature’s most powerful storms — storm tracker Alex Wilson. Alex, welcome to the show! M: Thanks, Emma! It’s great to be here. W: So Alex, do you need any certification to become a storm tracker? M: Yes, anybody who wants to track storms should contact their local National Weather Service and go through a spotter training class. That’s the first step. For those who want to continue and conduct research, they should consider pursuing a degree related to it. W: How often do you go out, tracking a storm? M: Well, we go to Tornado Alley quite often. And we’re expecting this year’s sixth trip there next week. That’s about average, but it all depends on the season. W: You’ve gotten pretty close to “tornadoes” — a special form of storm. What is that like? M: You can see in detail the tornado and the wind flow; you can actually hear it. And the sounds are different. In an open field, it sounds like rushing water, but in a populated area, it becomes more of a thundering sound. 25. A 26. A 27. B 【原文】W: The other night I was watching TV. The strangest thing happened. M: Really? What happened? W: The rain poured down and there was a lot of lightning and thunder. Do you remember? M: I remember quite well. The children were frightened, and the dog ran and hid under the bed! W: Well, anyway, the lightning flashed a number of times, and I was going to turn off the TV. That was when the strange thing happened. M: I hope the lightning didn’t hit your TV set! W: Oh, there is nothing as serious as that. Suddenly the screen began to flash rapidly all by itself! M: That’s quite normal! The lightning has a big effect on the TV signal. 28. B 29. B 30. A 【原文】M: Hey, Lisa. The weather app says it’s 40 degrees Celsius today. I can’t stand this heat. W:Absolutely. It feels like an oven. My air conditioner’s been running nonstop, so I’m afraid I can’t afford this month’s electricity bill. M: Ug, same. We must find ways to cool down. Hey, have you tried the ice cream at Sweet Delights? I need something frozen. W: Good call. Does it have indoor seating? I don’t want to melt outside. M: Yeah, it’s air conditioned with a few tables. Just be warned, it gets crowded in the afternoons. W: Perfect. I’m heading there now. Want to join? M: Absolutely. I’ll grab my sunglasses. A final way to survive this heat wave. W: Hurry. Let’s just hope they haven’t sold out our favorite flavors. 31. B 32. A 33. B 34. C 【原文】W: Good evening and welcome to our show. Today, we are very honoured to have Anderson, a well-known weather expert, to talk about the current high-temperature weather. Anderson, could you first explain what has caused this long-lasting high-temperature weather? M: Sure. The main reason is the abnormal air movement. Under its influence, there is a lot of sunlight in the air sinks, which prevents cloud formation and rain, thus leading to high temperatures. Besides, global warming also contributes to the increasing frequency of extreme high-temperature events. W: I see. Then how long will this high-temperature weather last? M: According to our latest forecast, it’s likely to continue for another week or so. After that, a cold front is expected to move in, bringing some relief. W: That’s good to know. So what should people do to stay safe during such hot days? M: It’s important to drink plenty of water, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Also, try to avoid going outdoors during the hottest hours of the day, usually from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm. If you must go out, wear light-colored, breathable clothes and use sunscreen. And for those who work outdoors, take regular breaks in a cool place. W: Thanks for your information. 35. B 36. B 37. C 【原文】 Good morning, this is Carl Vincent with your weather updates. After a dry start in the morning, light showers will develop during the afternoon, turning heavy and lasting longer into the evening. Tuesday will be a little bit warmer than Monday, with the highest temperature of 25°C. Tonight, showers will die out quite quickly, with skies clearing briefly. There will be more clouds after midnight with rain. The lowest temperature will be about 15°C. Wednesday will be windy with periods of heavy rain during the morning. During the afternoon, it will turn dry with winds dropping and clouds thinning. The clouds will get thicker again later. The highest temperature will be 27°C. Now look ahead to Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Heavy rain on Thursday evening will clear on Friday, though showers are possible at times, particularly on Friday afternoon. The winds will be light and there will be warmer and sunny periods during the weekend. For more details of the weather for the coming week, visit our website for a full forecast. It is 9:00 now, and we will have the traffic updates in exactly one hour. 38. A 39. A 40. B 【原文】 M: A report from a European climate service shows that November was very warm. It was the second warmest November they have on record. This makes it likely that 2024 will be said to be the hottest year they've measured. Last year was the hottest before. But after this summer, scientists thought 2024 would be even hotter. After this October, the world's average temperature was 14.10 degrees. Up to December this year, it's 0.14 degrees higher than the same time last year. A climate expert said November was much hotter than past Novembers. He also added that it was bad for people and nature. Animals might die and food chains might change. Coastal places might have trouble because of rising seas. Some scientists said ocean heat and less sea ice made the temperature go up. The amount of Antarctic Sea ice in November was low. Oceans take in a lot of heat from gases and give it back. Last year was hot because of a Pacific warming. But this year, the usual cooling after it didn't happen. Scientists are confused about why it's still hot. One idea is that the warming makes more heat in the air. 41. B 42. A 43. B 44. B 【原文】 Good evening to you, and a good evening it is! In fact, it’s absolutely beautiful outside. Of course, it’s all due to the winds of March! Yes, if you were outside around 2:00 p.m., you were probably blown right off your feet. We had wind this afternoon that was blowing at 50 mph! You could see large umbrellas from food carts rolling down the sidewalks — a few of them blew right into traffic and caused a few accidents. Fortunately, though, the wind died down to a more reasonable 15 mph by 4:30 p.m. Now, the forecast for tonight is for the temperature to stay around 60 degrees Fahrenheit with a light breeze — just enough for a light sweater. It should be a clear night, great for all you astronomers and star-gazers. Enjoy it while you can because the clouds will begin to roll in again tomorrow, and they will be staying for a while. Yes, for the next three days, you can expect clouds, the daytime temperature to drop to around 50, and a 90 percent chance of light rain on and off throughout the day. The temperature at night will be about 36-40 degrees, so you should expect some frost in the early mornings. Well, that’s all. Go out there and enjoy a lovely, warm, star-filled evening tonight. Tomorrow, take your rain coat and umbrella as you head out the door! 45. B 46. B 47. C 48. A 【原文】 W: The world is getting warmer. According to an analysis by NASA scientists, the average global temperature increases roughly at a rate of 0.15 to 0.20℃ every ten years. What is going to happen if our planet continues to heat up? Well, normally, the average global temperature should be around 35℃ during summer time. When it gets 2℃ higher, the crop output will start to decrease, people will become easy to feel sick, and mass deaths of coral reefs will begin to occur in oceans. When it comes to 39℃ to 41℃, sea water will drown most of the island countries, people will have to choose to grow sunflowers which can survive in salty soil, and oceans will be crowded with dead bodies of sea creatures. At the average global temperature of 42℃, people will get almost nothing from land anymore, and therefore the remaining orders of the modern society will break down eventually. So is it still possible to save us human species from dying out? Well, I don’t know, but if we could begin to do things like using less private cars, unplugging the unused electrical devices, protecting the forests, etc. from now on, maybe we still have a chance. 49. C 50. A 51. C 【原文】    Brandeis University has launched its study abroad program in San Juan, Puerto Rico, led by Sally Werner, professor of climate science. The program aims to get students to learn about the impacts of climate change on a Caribbean island that has been damaged by powerful hurricanes, rising seas and warming temperatures throughout the past decade. Over the course of five weeks in late May and June, 12 Brandeis students took environmental studies courses. They learned about basic knowledge of ocean and sustainable development issues that affect the entire Caribbean region. They also took a course in Spanish language and Puerto Rican culture. The trip also gave students the chance to live and work among locals who have lived through hurricanes. “I have seen how the strength and support of a community is crucial to rebuilding after climate change disasters and in overcoming climate change itself,” Werner said. That’s exactly the sort of lesson that Werner hopes all students take away from the program. 52. A 53. B 54. C 55. A 【原文】 M: Good evening, everyone! In a few days, it will finally be time to lie on the beach and enjoy the hot summer. However, when it comes to outdoor activities, whether you’re relaxing at the lake or hanging out in the backyard, you need to pay attention to the weather. To make sure that you’re prepared for the upcoming July, here’s the first week’s forecast for the entire country. If you live in the northeastern part, you’ve probably been using the air conditioning to fight heatwaves in the past week. Fortunately, the discomfort of extreme heat will ease. There will be some spotty thunderstorms on their way. And temperatures will likely drop below 21℃. The Midwest is often called flyover country, but it might be the best place to celebrate the holiday. AccuWeather reports that the majority of the region will experience cool temperatures with sunny skies. Sadly, for residents in the South, I suggest you reschedule your outdoor plans. The Weather Channel reports that parts of the South, specifically along the Gulf of Mexico, will see thunderstorms this week. 56. C 57. C 58. B 【原文】 M: You are watching the morning news. This is Steven Johnson. Sydney and the New South Wales coast have been hit by heavy rains. Major roads, the airport, trains and buses were all thrown behind schedule as more than a month’s worth of rain fell in just one hour during the morning rush. All traffic into the city remains very heavy. Pittwater Road is closed due to a car crash. Consider using Wicks Road instead. A police officer has been hurt assisting drivers in North Ryde. A woman is believed to have broken her leg after a tree fell on her car. The roof of Town Hall Station has fallen in, causing delays for passengers. The rain is expected to be at its heaviest from 9:00 am until 11:00 am. Today a total of up to 200 millimeters of rain is being forecast, along with damaging winds of more than 90 kilometers per hour to follow. All road users are advised to reconsider the need to be on the roads in such wild weather, and reschedule their day and continue on their journey after the rain stops. 59. A 60. B 61. C 【原文】 W: Good morning! This is the Manha from the weather service. Your free Internet weather station with news around the world and around the clock. Your preferred city is Guangzhou. In Guangzhou this week we expect more heavy rains since we are only at the beginning of June. May was rather dry but the storm should pick up again before the weekend. Hong Kong is expected to get hit hardest with this next cycle of rain but everywhere south of Shanghai along the coast should see some amount of rainfall. Guangzhou will get around four centimeters over the next five days. Another band of rain can be seen on the radar but it’s too far south over the sea right now. So it’s hard to say when it will hit Guangzhou. This weather pattern should continue through June and into July. When the heavy rains will finally move to the north of China. This is the latest update for your Guangzhou weather. Remember you can check back at the weather service anytime — day or night — to get updates on your local weather or the weather in your favorite city. 62. C 63. A 64. B 【原文】 M: This is Jack Miller with your weekend weather. You can put away your umbrella because it looks like the rain finally stops in time for a great weekend, the temperature today Friday which is a high of twenty eight degrees. We’ll have a wind from the north later this day and the low temperature will drop to ten degrees tonight, so don’t forget to put on more clothes. Tomorrow the high and low temperatures will be about the same as today. On Sunday we can expect a few high clouds in the early morning,  but lots of sunshine till noon. For those of you planning to go boating on the lake, you should have very good weather until late on Sunday afternoon when the wind is expected to increase. So please pay attention to the weather forecast just in case you need to return to land. We’ll be back at nine a.m. tomorrow. Have a good weekend. 65. A 66. B 67. A 68.

I’m sure you’ve all noticed the snowstorm has become worse since we arrived here at 8 a.m. The school staff and I apologize for not realizing how heavy this storm would be. It was reported that there would be 5 cm of snow. But indeed, we currently have double that amount, and it’s expected to become over 20 cm by three o’clock. So, what does that mean? It will require classes to end now, at 11 o’clock. Lunch will still be served in the cafeteria; you may have it now. For senior students who have driven to school, you’re welcome to drive home, but please be careful. For everyone else, the school buses are coming at noon. You are advised to wait in the cafeteria until then. But please, for everyone in the school, call your parents to tell them what you’re doing. It’s quite a dangerous situation out there right now. And by this evening, we’ll have almost a meter of snow on the ground. Next, wait for an announcement from our school bus driver, Jamie Johnson. He will tell you more information about bus schedules and safety advice. Thanks, everyone—and please, stay safe out there. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
