三、信息還原
請認真閱讀下面的短文,從短文后所給的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項,其中有一項是多余的。
Weather is one of the things we are unable to control. (1)
A
But if we study the signs around us correctly, we can tell changes about the weather. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting.
Sometimes distant objects such as hills seem to be very clear and near. This is a sign of much water vapour(蒸氣) in the air. (2)
B
(3)
D
With the coming of wet weather, people will feel uncomfortable in their bones. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way.
(4)
F
Such rainbows always come in the evenings and the following days will become clear. If the stars twinkle(閃爍) clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If fog appears in the morning just about sunrise, then the day will be warm. Instead, if fog appears in the evening, we should be careful. (5)
C
答案：【解析】：
本題為信息還原題，要求從所給的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。本題主要考查對上下文的理解、邏輯推理以及信息的匹配能力。
1. 第一個空白處前的句子提到“Weather is one of the things we are unable to control.”，意思是“天氣是我們無法控制的事物之一”。接下來需要一個句子來進一步說明這一點，A選項“No man can change it.”（沒有人能改變它）恰好符合這一邏輯，強調了天氣的不可控性。
2. 第二個空白處前提到“This is a sign of much water vapour(蒸氣) in the air.”，意思是“這是空氣中水蒸氣很多的標志”。接下來需要一個句子來解釋這種水蒸氣多意味著什么，B選項“So rain will probably come.”（所以可能會下雨）符合邏輯，因為水蒸氣多通常預示著可能會下雨。
3. 第三個空白處后提到“With the coming of wet weather, people will feel uncomfortable in their bones.”，意思是“隨著潮濕天氣的到來，人們會感到骨頭里不舒服”。這暗示了人們身體的感覺與天氣變化有關，D選項“People’s pain in their bones means something.”（人們骨頭里的疼痛意味著什么）與這一主題相符。
4. 第四個空白處后提到“Such rainbows always come in the evenings and the following days will become clear.”，意思是“這樣的彩虹總是在傍晚出現(xiàn)，接下來的幾天會變得晴朗”。這明確指出了彩虹與晴朗天氣之間的關聯(lián)，F(xiàn)選項“A rainbow during rainy weather signals fine weather.”（雨天中的彩虹預示著好天氣）與此相符。
5. 第五個空白處前提到“If fog appears in the morning just about sunrise, then the day will be warm. Instead, if fog appears in the evening, we should be careful.”，意思是“如果霧在日出時出現(xiàn)，那么這一天的天氣會溫暖。相反，如果霧在晚上出現(xiàn)，我們應該小心”。這里對比了早晨和晚上的霧對天氣的影響，但并未直接說明晚上霧的意義。C選項“Because the next day will be wet weather.”（因為第二天會是潮濕的天氣）提供了一個合理的解釋，即晚上的霧可能預示著第二天會是潮濕的天氣。
