Task 1: Weather Forecasting

We all know that it’s not possible for man to control the weather. But we can tell what important

新视野大学英语视听说教程第一册最新版Unit1——Unit10答案(含听力原文)

changes there will be in the weather in the short term. This is called weather forecasting. Many people rely on the weatherman to provide that information, but one method of weather forecasting is simply to use your eyes and brains. For example, if you see a rainbow in rainy weather in the evening, this is a sign that the weather will soon be clear and fine. Sometimes distant objects such as hills and tall trees seem to be very clear and near; this is a sign of much water vapor in the air, and then rain will probably come. If a fog appears just about sunrise in the morning, then the day will be arm. If the sunset is mostly red in color, then the following day will be fine. If the stars twinkle at night, then fine weather will come the next day.

Task 2: Wrong Weather Forecast

M: Hey, Jane! Does everyone know what time to meet us this weekend for the picnic?

W: Yeah. They’ll all be here at eleven sharp! I’ve got all the food and drinks for the barbecue, and Tom is bringing the grill.

M: OK. I’ve got that old net; we can use that for beach volleyball.

W: Oh, I forgot to tell you. I’ve invited Class 2 and 3 as well. We’ll be able to have a volleyball match, one class against another; that’ll be great fun.

M: Did you check the weather? I hope it’s going to stay nice for the weekend; we can’t have a picnic in the rain.

W: No worries! I watched the weather forecast last night, and the weatherman said it’s going to be fine—maybe a little cloudy, but DEFINITELY no rain!

(next morning)

M: There’s terrible weather! It’s raining buckets!

W: There’s no way we can go out in that. Those weatherman are useless—I hope they had a picnic today too.

M: I don’t know what’s happened to the weather these days. When I was little, we never had this much rain in the summer.

W: I AGREE. And have you noticed that winter is warmer now as well? We always used to get snow in January. Now winter is more like spring!

M: You’re telling me. I bet it’s all the pollution and the hole in the ozone layer that’s changing the weather.

W: Oh, global warming and all that.

M: I guess we’ll have to take a rain check on the picnic.

1. They are planning to have their picnic on the weekend.

2. They will be able to have a volleyball match, one class against another.

3. It’ll be fine, and maybe a little cloudy, but there’ll be definitely no rain.

4. Those weatherman are useless.

5. All the pollution and the hole in the ozone layer are responsible for the changeable weather. Task 3: Global Climate Change

Today, scientists have found that the greenhouse gases in the lower atmosphere have changed the global climate. These gases are largely due to human activities, such as the burning up of gas, coal and oil, and the destruction of forests. It is estimated that the average surface temperature of the earth will rise by 1.5-3.5℃ by 2100. This rate of warming is significant. The oceans will heat up

Clearly, global climate change is becoming a great threat to o …… 此处隐藏：5473字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
