To find out what the weather is going to be, most people go straight to the radio, television, or newspaper, to get an expert weather forecast. But if you know what to look for, you can use your own senses to make weather predictions. There’re many science that can help you. For example, in fair weather, the air pressure is generally high, the air is still, and often full of dust. And faraway objects may look vague. But when a storm is blowing, the pressure drops, and you are often able to see things more clearly. Sailors took note of this long ago, and came up with the saying: "The farther the sight, the nearer the rain."
Your sense of smell can also help you detect weather changes. Just before it rains, odors become stronger. This is because odors are repressed in a fair high pressure center. When a bad weather low moves in, air pressure lessens, and odors are released. You can also hear an approaching storm. Sounds bounce off heavy storm clouds and return to earth with increased force. An old saying describes it this way: "Sound traveling far and wide, a stormy day will be tied." And don’t laugh at your grandmother if she says she can feel a storm coming. It is commonly known that many people feel pains in their bones or joints when the humidity rises. The pressure drops, and bad weather is on the way.
选项
A、Ancient people were better at foretelling the weather.
B、Sailors’ sayings about the weather are unreliable.
C、People knew long ago how to predict the weather.
D、It was easier to forecast the weather in the old days.
答案
C
解析
What does the speaker want to show by quoting a couple of old sayings?
本题为细节题,考查转折关系but。文中提到“But if you know what to look for,you can use your own senses to make weather predictions.”(但是如果你知道应该观察什么事物,你就能够用感官去预测天气)。之后作者引用了许多俗语来证明自己的结论。所以C项是正确答案。
