In Britain, just after the main television news programs, audience figures rise. It’ s weather forecast time. The BBC broadcasts 44 live forecasts a day, 443 hours of weather a year, using forecasters from the Meteorological Office. The Office makes predictions about the weather seven days in advance. These are based on observations from the ground, from satellites and from radar. The observations are stored in a computer that can do up to 4,000 million calculations a second.
In Britain the weather is news. The BBC forecasters are professional meteorologists, but they do not have an easy job. They are the only presenters on television who do not use a script, and they cannot see the map that they are describing. Viewers are often critical, especially of female presenters. One woman left her job after rude letters and press reports about her clothes.
The British talk about weather more than almost any other subjects, so it is a surprise to discover that 70 percent of television viewers cannot remember what they saw on the weather forecasts. "What happens is that people like watching and hearing the forecasts, but they probably only take real notice when they need to--when they’ re going on holiday or wondering what the weather will be like for the tennis at Wimbledon," says one forecaster. "Or, of course, when we make mistakes!"
选项
A、The BBC programs are very popular in Britain.
B、The viewers are critical only of women presenters of BBC weather forecast.
C、Weather is the most popular topic among the British.
D、In Britain most of the viewers can retell what they saw on the weather forecasts.
答案
C
解析
综合判断题。通过浏览选项可知,四个内容不相干的句子告诉我们,本题考的是事实判断或推理,听短文时一方面要对选项所示信息特别关注同时在选项旁做好相应的标记,另一方面要对短文有个全局的把握,并能根据文中事实做出正确的演绎推理。本文讲述BBC天气预报节目的广受关注,因为英国人最喜欢谈论天气,文章并未提到BBC其余节日,参考原文“In Britain,just after the main television news programmes,audience figures rise.It’s weather fore cast time.”,所以选项A以偏概全,犯了主观臆断的错误;BBC天气预报员都是气象专家,可是英国观众依然很挑剔,特别是对女性播报员,参考原文“Viewers are often critical,especially of female presenters.”,有位气象小姐就是因为观众讨厌她的着装而丢掉饭碗,但是这并不表明观众只挑女性播报员的毛病,所以选项B也同样犯了以偏概全的错误;文章后半部分提到“英国人淡论最多的话题就是天气”,参考原文“The British talk about weather more than almost many other subjects.”,这句比较级表达的是最高级的意思,所以选项C是对原文的重述,完全正确;尽管天气是谈论最多的话题,但是绝大多数观众对天气预报电视节目不上真心,很快就忘记了,参考原文“so it is a surprise to discover that 70 percent of television viewers cannot remember what they saw on the weather forecasts.”,由此可见选项D与原文意思正好相反。
