  今天是二十四节气里的寒露。寒露是二十四解其中的第十七个节气,是深秋的节令,在二十四节气中最早出现“寒”字,是凉爽向寒冷的转折。知道了节气的有关知识,我们再来做几道和天气相关的英语测试题吧。

  1: She is putting some money away for a ________ day.

  rainy

  snowy

  stormy

  dark

  答案是:rainy。A rainy day 是一个比喻用法,意思是存点钱以备急用。

  2: Emily was on _______ nine after she bought her new car.

  wind

  cloud

  rainbow

  sun

  答案是:cloud。这是一句约定俗成的成语。 On cloud nine 表示极度兴奋心满意足的意思。

  3: The President won the election by ________.

  an avalanche

  an earthquake

  a landslide

  a tornado

  答案是:a landslide。此处使用landslide山崩来比喻总统竞选的投票结果,中文翻译为压倒性多数。

  习惯上不用avalanche雪崩、earthquake

地震、tornado飓风这几个词。

  4: When you don't feel very well you could say you feel ______the weather.

  under

  above

  besides

  into

  答案是:under。这是一个固定成语,Feeling under the weather 意思是身体不舒服或生病了。

  5: British politician, Ann Widdecombe, once said, ‘When it comes to talking about the weather

  the British people are a nation of_______.’

  umbrellas

  competitors

  complaints

  grumblers

  答案是:grumblers。grumblers 就是牢骚满腹的人。

  umbrellas:不对。人不可能变成雨伞。competitors:不对。竞争者在此处不合逻辑。complaints:不对。虽然这个词所表达的意思是对的,但是词性错了。

  6: In many cold countries, homes have specially designed windows to keep the house warm. What are these windows commonly called?

  double layering

  double glazing

  single glazing

  tinted windows

  答案是:double glazing。Double glazing 就是双层玻璃,对保暖非常有帮助。

  Single glazing 单层玻璃对保暖没有太大的帮助。

  tinted windows:茶色玻璃 tinted windows 更适合于天气热的国家。
