We often have heavy rain, but not at this time of the year. It is usually 14 in March. Our teacher told us that the weather is different from that in the past.
This is because the world is getting warmer. It’s also called global warming. Global warming is not only harmful to human beings, but also to other living things in the world.

This March, China has experienced unusual weather changes. On March 25, Shanghai recorded 30°C, breaking its 1933 record for the earliest hot day. Normally, Shanghai’s first 30°C day comes in late April or May.
But the heat didn’t last. A cold wave hit China from March 24 to 30, causing temperature drops of over 20°C in some areas. Northern China faced its coldest days between March 27-29, while southern China will feel similar cold around March 29-30.
Hot Days and Big Changes
In March, 20 cities like Changsha, Hefei, and Zhengzhou saw temperatures swing wildly. From March 1-24, daily highs jumped between below 10°C to over 22°C.
Hefei had the most extreme change: temperatures dropped 20°C in one day. On March 3, it went from 28°C at 2 p.m. to 14.8°C by 3 p.m. due to a strong cold wind.
Many places also broke heat records. Over 300 weather stations reported their hottest March days. Cities in Henan, Hubei, and Zhejiang might see their earliest 35°C days ever.
Cold Wave Coming
As March ends, temperatures will fall sharply. 11 cities like Lanzhou, Guiyang, and Xining might see 20°C drops within 48 hours. For example, Xining could go from 18°C to -3°C.
Such sudden cold weather is rare. In the past 74 years, only Guiyang had over 10 cases of 20°C drops in March. This year, Xining and Lanzhou may break their own records.
Scientists say climate change is making March weather hotter and less predictable. They advise checking weather reports daily and dressing in layers (分层穿衣).
31.Which city broke its earliest 30°C day record on March 25?
A.Beijing B.Shanghai C.Guangzhou D.Chengdu
32.What is the main reason for warmer March weather in recent years?
A.More factories were built B.Climate change
C.People wearing lighter clothes D.Longer daylight hours
33.The word “predictable” in the last paragraph means ________.
A.easy to forecast B.full of surprises C.very dangerous D.extremely hot
34.What should people do during rapid temperature changes?
A.Stay indoors all day
B.Wear the same clothes daily
C.Check weather reports and dress in layers
D.Travel to warmer cities
35.What is the main idea of the article?
A.March is always warm in China
B.China’s March weather is becoming more extreme
C.Cold waves are better than heatwaves
D.People should move to warmer cities
B. Choose the best answer and complete the passage(选择最恰当的选项完成短文)(每题2分,共12分)
More accurate forecasts
36 weather forecasts have become more reliable, there is still a need for greater accuracy. Better forecasts could save industries across the world many billions of dollars each year.
Better frost predictions, for example, could save fruit growers millions of dollars each year. Fruits such as oranges are very vulnerable to frost—they die in cold, wet weather. With more accurate frost forecasts, fruit farmers could plant when they know the tender seedlings (幼苗) wouldn’t be 37 by frost. More accurate rain forecasts would enable farmers to plan timely irrigation schedules and avoid floods.
Imperfect weather forecasts 38 construction companies to waste both time and money. A construction foreman might call his crew in to work, only to have it rain when the crew can’t work. A (n) 39 cold weather could ruin a freshly poured concrete foundation (混凝土地基).
Power companies would also benefit from accurate forecasts. They adjust their systems when they expect extreme temperatures because people will use their air conditioning more on these days. If the forecast predicts a hot, humid day and it turns out to be cool, the power company 40 money. The extra electricity or gas it bought doesn’t get used.
Responding to such 41 , meteorologists are working to develop new tools and new methods that will improve their ability to forecast the weather.
36.A.As B.Unless C.After D.Although
37.A.saved B.killed C.planted D.grown
38.A.encourage B.enable C.push D.cause
39.A.unexpected B.predicted C.accurate D.timely
40.A.saves B.loses C.gets D.makes
41.A.information B.weather C.needs D.money
C. Read the passage and answer the following questions.(前五小题每题2分,最后小题8分;共18分)
阅读短文,回答问题。
Weather forecasting has a long history. Long ago, people looked at the sky, animals, and plants to guess the weather. For example, if a red sky appeared at sunset, they thought the next day would be fine.
In ancient China, farmers used a calendar based on solar terms to help with planting and harvesting. These solar terms described weather changes, such as “Rain Water” and “Awakening of Insects”.
In the 19th century, the telegraph was invented. This allowed weather information to be sent quickly from one place to another. Soon, the first weather maps were drawn.
Today, meteorologists use satellites, radar, and supercomputers to predict the weather. They can track storms from space and warn people days in advance. Still, long-term forecasts (over 10 days) are not very accurate because the atmosphere is chaotic.
Even with modern technology, mistakes happen. That’s why many people still pay attention to traditional signs, like the behaviour of birds or the shape of clouds.
42.What did people in ancient times use to guess the weather?
43.What helped weather information travel faster in the 19th century?
44.Can meteorologists accurately predict the weather for more than 10 days? Why?
45.Why do some people still watch birds or clouds for weather signs?
46.What is one example of a solar term mentioned in the passage?

1.句意:有些人喜欢晴天,因为他们可以外出做喜欢的事。
sunny days“晴天”为复数名词作宾语,days符合语境。day“天”为单数、day’s“天的”为所有格,均不能表示泛指的多天晴天。
2.句意:在假期或周末,他们喜欢去海滩享受日光浴。
此处表示海滩的目的,不定式to enjoy表目的,符合语境。enjoying为动名词、enjoy为原形,均不能作目的状语。
3.句意:这让他们开心。
主语It为单数,谓语用makes,符合语境。make为原形、are making为进行时,均不符合一般现在时主谓一致的要求。
4.句意:下雨时他们总是感到难过。

表示在具体的某些日子用介词On。For后接时间段、At后接时间点,均不能与具体的“下雨天”搭配。

修饰动词sing需用副词quietly“轻声地”,符合语境。quiet为形容词、quieter为比较级,均不能作状语修饰动词。
7.句意:我有时会想一个美好的假期。
泛指“一个”假期,wonderful以辅音音素开头,用a符合语境。the为特指、an用于元音音素前,不符合。
8.句意:我不需要做我的作业,也不用为考试紧张。
修饰homework需用形容词性物主代词my“我的”,符合语境。I为人称代词主格、me为人称代词宾格,均不能作定语修饰名词。

A.dry B.mountains C. nearest D.heavily E. wet F. trouble
There was a very bad storm last night. The wind blew fiercely and the rain came down 11 . There were floods (洪水) in some streets. The water went into people’s houses, so they had to leave. Many homeless people had to go to the 12 shelter for help. Policemen and firemen in our city were busy helping people in 13 .
We often have heavy rain, but not at this time of the year. It is usually 14 in March. Our teacher told us that the weather is different from that in the past.
This is because the world is getting warmer. It’s also called global warming. Global warming is not only harmful to human beings, but also to other living things in the world. If it gets too warm, the ice will melt at the poles. There will be very bad floods everywhere, and we will all have to move to the 15 ! Therefore, let’s save the environment. Try our best to stop polluting the air.
【答案】11.D 12.C 13.F 14.A 15.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,文章讲述了一次反常暴雨引发洪水的事件,进而介绍全球变暖带来的气候问题与危害,呼吁人们保护环境。
11.句意:风猛烈地刮,雨倾盆而下。此处需用副词修饰动词短语come down,且能描述“下雨”的只有D项heavily“猛烈地、大量地”。
12.句意:许多无家可归的人不得不前往最近的避难所求助。此处是形容词修饰名词shelter;洪水迫使人们离开家园,人们应前往最近的避难所求助,C项nearest“最近的”符合语境。

15.句意:到处都会发生严重的洪水,我们都将不得不搬到山区去!前文提到冰川融化、全球洪水泛滥,可推知海拔更低的区域会被淹没,人们需要搬到海拔更高的山区,B项mountains“山”符合语境。

With air conditioning and fans, we can still stay cool and comfortable. The 20 (season) changes remind us of the importance of getting used to nature.
【答案】16.northern 17.extremely 18.worse 19.indoors 20.seasonal
【导语】本文主要介绍了我国北方地区夏季的天气状况以及人们应对炎热天气的方式,还提到了季节变化提醒人们适应自然的重要性。
16.句意:在我们国家的北方地区,天气与南方可能大不相同。此处需要一个形容词来修饰名词part,north的形容词形式是northern,表示“北方的”,所以填northern。
17.句意:在夏天,炎热可能极其强烈。strong是形容词,需要用副词来修饰,extreme的副词形式是extremely,表示“极其,非常”,所以填extremely。
18.句意:这比其他季节更糟糕。根据than可知,这里要用比较级,bad的比较级是worse,所以填worse。
19.句意:人们常常待在室内以避暑。stay indoors意为“待在室内”,所以填indoors。
20.句意:季节的变化提醒我们适应自然的重要性。此处需要一个形容词来修饰名词changes,season的形容词形式是seasonal,表示“季节性的”,所以填seasonal。

Mia: OK. See you!
【答案 & 解析】
【导语】本文是Amy和Mia的视频通话对话,两人交流了各自所在地的天气及正在做的事。
21. Are you in your grandparents’ home now?
【解析】根据答语 “Yes, I am.” 可知,此处应为一个由 Be 动词引导的一般疑问句,且主语为 you。结合后文提到的寒冷天气和后面提到的 cousins(表/堂兄弟姐妹),推测 Amy 在询问 Mia 是否在某位亲戚家。选项 C “Are you in your grandparents’ home now?” 符合语境和语法要求,且为一般疑问句。
22. It is snowing heavily and the wind is blowing hard.

More accurate forecasts
36 weather forecasts have become more reliable, there is still a need for greater accuracy. Better forecasts could save industries across the world many billions of dollars each year.
Better frost predictions, for example, could save fruit growers millions of dollars each year. Fruits such as oranges are very vulnerable to frost—they die in cold, wet weather. With more accurate frost forecasts, fruit farmers could plant when they know the tender seedlings (幼苗) wouldn’t be 37 by frost. More accurate rain forecasts would enable farmers to plan timely irrigation schedules and avoid floods.
Imperfect weather forecasts 38 construction companies to waste both time and money. A construction foreman might call his crew in to work, only to have it rain when the crew can’t work. A (n) 39 cold weather could ruin a freshly poured concrete foundation (混凝土地基).
Power companies would also benefit from accurate forecasts. They adjust their systems when they expect extreme temperatures because people will use their air conditioning more on these days. If the forecast predicts a hot, humid day and it turns out to be cool, the power company 40 money. The extra electricity or gas it bought doesn’t get used.
Responding to such 41 , meteorologists are working to develop new tools and new methods that will improve their ability to forecast the weather.

C. Read the passage and answer the following questions.(前五小题每题2分,最后小题8分;共18分)
阅读短文,回答问题。
Weather forecasting has a long history. Long ago, people looked at the sky, animals, and plants to guess the weather. For example, if a red sky appeared at sunset, they thought the next day would be fine.
In ancient China, farmers used a calendar based on solar terms to help with planting and harvesting. These solar terms described weather changes, such as “Rain Water” and “Awakening of Insects”.
In the 19th century, the telegraph was invented. This allowed weather information to be sent quickly from one place to another. Soon, the first weather maps were drawn.
Today, meteorologists use satellites, radar, and supercomputers to predict the weather. They can track storms from space and warn people days in advance. Still, long-term forecasts (over 10 days) are not very accurate because the atmosphere is chaotic.
Even with modern technology, mistakes happen. That’s why many people still pay attention to traditional signs, like the behaviour of birds or the shape of clouds.
42.What did people in ancient times use to guess the weather?
43.What helped weather information travel faster in the 19th century?
44.Can meteorologists accurately predict the weather for more than 10 days? Why?
45.Why do some people still watch birds or clouds for weather signs?
46.What is one example of a solar term mentioned in the passage?
【答案】42.They used the sky, animals, and plants. 43.The telegraph. 44.No, they can’t. Because the atmosphere is chaotic. 45.Because modern weather forecasts can still have mistakes. 46.Rain Water/Awakening of Insects.
【导语】本文介绍了天气预报的发展历史,从古代人们通过自然现象判断天气,到现代借助科技手段预测天气,同时说明了长期天气预报的局限性。
42.根据第一段“Long ago, people looked at the sky, animals, and plants to guess the weather”可知,古人通过观察天空、动物和植物来猜测天气。
43.根据第三段“In the 19th century, the telegraph was invented. This allowed weather information to be sent quickly from one place to another”可知,19世纪电报的发明让天气信息传递得更快。
44.根据第四段“Still, long-term forecasts (over 10 days) are not very accurate because the atmosphere is chaotic”可知,气象学家无法准确预测10天以上的天气,因为大气是混沌的。
45.根据第五段“Even with modern technology, mistakes happen. That’s why many people still pay attention to traditional signs, like the behaviour of birds or the shape of clouds”可知,人们仍然观察鸟类或云朵,是因为即使有现代科技,天气预报也会出错。
46.根据第二段These solar terms described weather changes, such as ‘Rain Water’and ‘Awakening of Insects’”可知,文中提到的节气例子有“Rain Water”或“Awakening of Insects”。
