Question

【題目】 Most of the time, we know what weather is heading our way— thanks to meteorologists (氣象學家). 【1】 Will it be sunny or rainy, hot or cold? And every day, meteorologists work hard to predict what the weather will be like.

For some, an interest in weather starts early. It did for Samantha Gibbons, a 10-year-old girl from the USA.【2】. Every week, Samantha studies the science behind weather through the Internet. In January, she was the youngest kid to attend the 2015 American Meteorological Society (AMS) Annual Meeting. During the Q&A discussion at the event, she asked the experts how a halo ( a ring of light around a moon or sun ) appears.【3】 “ I was very excited to take part in the meeting ! It was like I was meant to be there,” said Samantha.

Not only does Samantha study the numbers behind weather, but she also practices speaking on air.【4】 “ I love being on TV.” she said.

On September 3, 2014, Samantha made her first TV show on NBC Channel 12 in Phoenix, USA. Before her appearance, she woke up at 4 a.m. to arrive at the station by 5:30 a.m., a typical morning for many meteorologists. “To prepare, I practiced in front of the mirror,” said Samantha. “I learned I needed a lot of practice on camera!”【5】 What’s her advice for other kids interested in becoming meteorologists? “Ask lots of questions,” said Samantha. “Always believe in what you’re doing and keep making your dream come true.”

A.As a member of her school’s broadcast (電視節(jié)目) club, she helps produce the school’s morning programs.

B.Every day, people turn to the TV, computer, or radio to find out.

C.Her future plans are simple: do well in school and practice broadcasting.

D.One of them answered her question.

本文是一篇記敘文。短文講了人們了解天氣的變化主要有三種途徑：通過看電視，電腦或收聽收音機來獲取信息。而這一切，還要感謝氣象專家的辛勤付出。薩曼莎，一個來自美國的10歲女孩，對天氣非常感興趣，她是參加2015美國氣象學會（AMS）年度會議最小的孩子，現(xiàn)在她是學校廣播俱樂部的一名成員。

【1】聯(lián)系此空前后文“Will it be sunny or rainy, hot or cold?”可知，我們想知道天氣怎么樣，可以在電視，電腦或收聽收音機來獲取天氣信息。故選B。
