Suzy: Hey, I'm Suzy. The snowflake on your gloves. Isn't this a wonderful winter day?
Sam: It's cold for me to stay outside. I want to go back to my room.
Suzy: I'll melt in your room. Can you talk with me?
Sam: Well. Are you a frozen raindrop(冷冻的雨滴)?
Suzy: No, that's sleet(雨夹雪).
Sam: What makes you different?
Suzy: First, you need to know about clouds. Clouds are made of air and water vapor(水蒸气). You can't see the water vapor.
Sam: But I can see clouds.
Suzy: That's because there is little dirt in the air. Water vapor sticks to(附着) the dirt and makes little drops. Many drops together make a cloud. When drops join together, they get bigger and fall out of the cloud as raindrops. If they freeze on their way to the ground, they become sleet.
Sam: Are all snowflakes the same as you?
Suzy: We look different. Some are like plates, while others are like cookies.
Sam: I want to find all of them. Bye!

Day 2
【语篇解读】文章主要呈现了Suzy和Sam就不同自然现象的形成过程展开的对话。文章旨在激发学生对自然科学的兴趣。
1. A 图片理解题—图文对比巧分析。根据对话前两句可知,Suzy是雪花。
2. C 词义猜测题—利用生活常识猜词义。根据对话中“I want to go back to my room.”及“I'll melt in your room.”并结合生活常识可知,雪花在较温暖的房间里会融化。
3. B 单词还原题—瞻前顾后找关键词。根据对话中“Water vapor sticks to (附着)... they become sleet.”可知,此处缺少Clouds。
4. D 推断文章后续发展题—设身处地明发展。根据最后Sam说“I want to find all of them. Bye!”可知,这里的“them”指的是不同形状的雪花。由此可知,D项符合题意。
5. C 写作意图题—主旨推断法。通读全文可知,文章主要围绕不同自然现象的形成过程展开对话。C选项符合文章主旨。
