24、tions weather was like, and what they saw last year was weird. The year was hot and annoyed by all manner of extreme weather events that did a lot of expensive damage.

25、t and the warmest month on record,“ says Jake Crouch, a weather researcher.

El Nino is a weather phenomenon out of the ocean that hits ever
26、y few years and affects weather globally. Together, climate and a very strong El Nino pushed the weather in the U.S. as warm as its 20th century average.

29、ows)，故答案为 A。 B说的 “记录性降雨 ”是发生在美国南部和中西部 (South and Midwest)。 C和 D只是利用新闻末尾中的 much warmer和 more moisture作干扰，都没有实质根据。 【知识模块】 听力 Section B 8 【听力原文】 W: Hello. Can I take your order? M: Yes.

43、期的课程，以取得艺术文凭，可见选 C。 A“近一年 ”是男士说他在会计事务所工作的时间，故排除。 B“四年 ”在录音并未提到。 D“九个月 ”是女士说男士在会计事务所工作的时间，也不对。 【知识模块】 听力 15 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 男士提到他虽然不演奏乐曲，但是他经常听音乐会，故 B正确。frequently是 quite a lot of的另一 种表达。由动词的现在分词选项可知，本题问动作。 A错在使用了 a lot of，而原文说到拍照片时是说 a bit of； C中的 play与原文说的 I dont play不符； D是地点错误，原文是说欧洲而不是非洲。 【知识模块】
