BBC’s weather forecast is a ______ programme. [br]
In Britain, just after the main television news programmes, audience figures rise. It’s weather forecast time. The BBC broadcasts forty-four live forecasts a day, 433 hours of weather a year, using forecasters from the Meteorological Office. The Met. 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 computers that can do up to 4,000 million calculations a second.
In Britain the weather is news. A television weather forecast often begins with an interesting fact-the town with the top temperature of the day or the place with the most rain. "The pubic like that kind of information," says senior forecaster Bill Giles. 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 the weather more than almost any other subject, so it is a surprise to discover that seventy per cent of television viewers cannot remember what they saw on the weather forecast. "What happens is that people like watching and hearing the forecasts, but they probably only take real notice when they need to," says one forecaster. "Or, of course, when we make mistakes!"
选项
A、They remember what they saw on weather forecasts.
B、They like talking about weather instead of watching.
C、They pay more attention to the style of the presenters.
D、They watch and remember what is necessary.
答案
D
解析
本题测试对隐含信息的推测理解能力。根据原文中的最后两句话“people like watching and hearing the forecasts,but they probably only take real notice when they need to”,“when we make mistakes”,叫以推测英国的电视观众虽然喜欢看天气预报,但只在必要时或当预报员出错时才真正地关注,因此正确答案为D。
