全文翻译了解天气的方法很久很久以前，人们没有手机和电视。但他们知道预测天气的聪明方法——通过观察大自然！看云乌云:很快就要下雨了。白云:将会是晴天。观察小动物雨前:蚂蚁搬家。燕子低飞。查看植物和露水雨前:有些花闭合以保持花瓣干燥。晨露:很有可能是晴天。
@@一、1. C 【细节理解】由文章中的“Dark clouds: It will be rainy soon.”可知,如果看到乌云,很快就会下雨。2. B 【词义猜测】由文章中的“Some flowers close up to keep petals dry.”可知,有些花闭合以保持petals干燥。由此可推知,petals意为“花瓣”。3.
