Answer 1

【小題1】C

【小題2】D

【小題3】A

解析:

【小題1】細節(jié)題，查讀法。根據(jù)題干關鍵詞“the strongest wind”查讀四個城市Tomorrow的風力部分，可以判斷在1月19號，倫敦的風力是每小時20—30英里，比其他各城市要強。

【小題2】細節(jié)題，查讀法。根據(jù)悉尼的天氣預報中“Tomorrow”信息中的第一句t“Showers in the morning with isolated thunderstorms arriving in the afternoon．”可以判斷1月19號下午有雷雨。

【小題3】細節(jié)推斷題，常識+略讀法。埃菲爾鐵塔是巴黎的標志，自由女神像是紐約的標志，大本鐘是倫敦的標志，悉尼歌劇院是悉尼的標志。根據(jù)各地的天氣預報可以判斷，巴黎1月18號天氣狀況是陽光明媚，適合游覽觀光，而其他地方不是陰天就是雨雪天氣。
