Forecasting Methods
There are several different methods that can be used to create a forecast. The method a forecaster chooses depends upon the experience of the forecaster, the amount of information available to the forecaster, the level of difficulty that the forecast situation presents and the degree of accuracy or confidence needed in the forecast.
The first of these methods is the persistence method : the simplest of producing a forecast. The persistence method assumes that the conditions at the time of the forecast will not change. For example, if it is sunny and 37 degrees today, the persistence method predicts that it will be sunny and 37 degrees tomorrow. If two inches of rainfall today, the persistence method would predict two inches of rain for tomorrow. However, if weather conditions change significantly from day to day, the persistence method usually breaks down and is not the best forecasting method to use.
The trends method involves determining the speed and direction of movement for fronts, high and low pressure centers, and areas of clouds and precipitation (降雨量). Using this information, the forecaster can predict where he or she expects those features to be at some future time. For example, if a storm system is 1000 miles west of your location and moving to the east at 250 miles per day, using the trends method you would predict it will arrive in your area in 4 days. The trends method works well when systems continue to move at the same speed in the same direction for a long period of time. If they slow down, speed up, change , intensity or change direction, the trends forecast will probably not work well.
The climatology(气候学)method is another simple way of producing a forecast. This method involves averaging weather statistics accumulated over many years to make the forecast. For example, if you were using the climatology method to predict the weather for New York City on July 4th, you would go through all the weather data that has been recorded for every July 4th and take an average. The climatology method only works well when the weather pattern is similar to that expected for the chosen one of year. If the pattern is quite unusual for the given time of year, the climatology method will often fail.
The analog method(类推法) is a slightly more complicated method of producing a forecast. It involves examining today’s forecast scenario and remembering a day in the past when the weather scenario(天气状况) looked very similar (an analog). The forecaster would predict that the weather in this forecast will behave the same as it did in the past. The analogy method is difficult to use because it is virtually impossible to find a predict analog. Various weather features rarely align themselves in the same locations they were in the previous time. Even small differences between the current time and the analog can lead to very different results.
Which method may involve historical weather data?
选项
A、The trends method.
B、The analog method.
C、Both climatology method and analog method.
D、The trends method and the persistence method.
答案
C
解析
本题考查考生根据篇章判断分析的能力。考的是哪些预报天气的方法需要联系历史气象数据。从第四段的第二句话This method involves averaging weather statistics accumulated over many years to make the forecast.我们得知,气候学方法(the climatology method)需要取多年积累起来的气象数据的平均值。第四段的第三句话又提供了具体的例子:For example,if you were using the climatology method to predict the weather for New York City on July 4th,you would go through all the weather data that has been recorded for every July 4th and take an average. 从第五段的第二句It involves examining today’s forecast scenario and remembering a day in the past when the weather scenario looked very similar.和第三句The forecaster would predict that the weather in this forecast will behave the same as it did in the past. 我们又得知,类推法(analog method)也需要比较和对比历史上某一天的气象状况。所以,正确答案是C。

把道德说成圣人立法,在很大程度上背离了道德。正如恩格斯所说的“没有爱情的婚姻是不道德的”中的不道德,恰恰是封建伦理中极力宣扬的“道德”。而这种所谓道德的阶级性,这种称谓意识形态的道德,只不过是伪道德。并不能证明道德在不用的阶级那里有不同的性质。从以上文字推
