Question

At one time or another we have all stopped to think about the weather. Some days the weather is good. Some days the weather is bad. Sometimes a day that seems bad turns out better than you thought it would. There are ways of understanding the weather. One way is to study the clouds. No two clouds are ever alike. We can see the different kinds of clouds and watch them for signs of changing weather. To forecast the weather, there are three things about clouds. you should look for: movement, colour, and change. As a rule, the higher the clouds, the better the weather. And the lower the clouds, the worse the weather is likely to be. Fair-weather cumulus clouds* are another sign of good weather. These are clouds we often see on warm summer days. Clouds can tell you if a storm is on the way. If the thick, fluffy cumulus clouds get bigger early in the day, then you know it will rain. If there is a sudden, cool and dark thunder* cloud appears, then a storm is about to break out. Colours in the sky tell us about the weather, too. A golden ring around 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 message, too. The colours of the rainbow come from the sun rays shining through falling rain. If you see the sun in the east and a rainbow in the west, the rain may be coming your way. If the sun is in the west and the rainbow is in the east, the rain will be moving away from you.

解析試題分析：
我們經常研究天氣。有些日子天氣還是不錯的。有些日子天氣不好。了解天氣的方法就是研究云。沒有兩個云是一樣的。我們可以看到不同種類的云，看著他們因天氣轉變的跡象。為了預報天氣，有三件事情了解云。你應該看看：運動，顏色和變化。作為一項規(guī)則，云越高天氣就越好。天朗積云是好天氣的另一個標志。天空的顏色告訴我們天氣狀況，金黃色的光環(huán)繞月球告誡我們，一場風暴即將來臨。水樣黃色的夕陽即將下雨。彩虹也能預報天氣。如果你看到太陽在東部，西部的彩虹，雨可能未來的路。如果太陽在西部和彩虹是在東部地區(qū)，雨水將遠離你。
