Unit 1

Weather

Cultural BackgroundPeople talk about the weather more in Britain than in most parts of the world. Why? There

are probably two reasons. One is the uncertainty of the weather. The weather in Britain changes

very quickly. In Britain, you can even experience four seasons in a day. You may go to bed

with the stars shining brightly, and wake up with rain falling heavily. The weather in Britain is

constantly changing. Another reason is that the weather is considered a safe topic of conversation.

When you meet a person and do not know him well enough to talk about personal matters, you

can at least sound friendly by talking about the weather.

As the weather is so changeable, it is of course quite important. It plays a big part in the lives

of the British people. The British have to change their plans very often according to the weather

and this has made them good at dealing with difficulties. Every daily newspaper publishes

something about the weather. Both the radio and the television give reports on the weather several

times each day.

Listening Tips温度的符号及单位名词的读法

常用的温度单位有摄氏度和华氏度。摄氏度的英语表达是 degrees centigrade [ˈsentɪgreɪd]

或 degrees Celsius [ˈselsiəs]，符号是℃；华氏度的英语表达为 degrees Fahrenheit [ˈfærənhaɪt]，

符号是℉。例如：

5℃读作 five degrees centigrade。

5℉读作 five degrees Fahrenheit。

-10℃则读作 ten degrees centigrade below zero 或是 minus ten degrees centigrade。

99

Unit 1 Weather Part 2　Learning & Listening

It will be a mild night, around 22 degrees centigrade. 今晚天气温和，气温约为 22 摄氏度。

The lowest temperature will be 15 degrees Celsius below zero. 最低温度将达到零下 15 摄

氏度。

In normal conditions, water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit. 正常情况下，水在 32 华氏度

Appreciation

The Snowy Day

One winter morning Peter 1　　　　　　　　 and looked out the window. Snow

had fallen during the night. It 2　　　　　　　　 everything as far as he could see.

1414

新理念交互英语听力训练教程

After breakfast he put on his snowsuit and ran outside. The snow was piled up

very high along the street to make a path for walking.

Crunch, crunch, crunch, his feet sank into the snow. He walked with his toes

pointing out, like this. He walked with his toes pointing in, like that.

Then he dragged his feet s-l-o-w-l-y to make tracks. And he found something

sticking out of the snow that made a new track. It was a stick—a stick that was just

right for smacking a snow-covered tree.

Down fell the snow “plop!” on top of Peter’s head.

He thought it would be fun to join the big boys in their snowball f ight, but he

knew he wasn’t old enough yet. So he made a smiling snowman, and he made angels.

He 3　　　　　　　　 he was a mountain-climber. He climbed up a great big

tall heaping mountain of snow and slid all the way down. He 4　　　　　　　　 a

handful of snow and another, and still another. He packed it round and firm and put

the snowball in his pocket for tomorrow. Then he went into his warm house. He told

his mother all about his 5　　　　　　　　 while she took off his wet socks. And he

thought and thought and thought about them. Before he got into bed he looked in

his pocket. His pocket was empty. The snowball wasn’t there. He felt very sad. While

he slept, he dreamed that the sun had melted all the snow away. But when he woke

up his dream was gone. The snow was still everywhere. New snow was falling! After

breakfast he called to his friend from across the hall, and they went out together into

the deep, deep snow.
