26．（4.5分）At present，scientists use modern ways to get information to tell us what the weather will be like.They make predictions（预测）about the weather for today，tomorrow and even for the whole season.
But what did people do before modern technology？Well，not so long ago，people lived much closer to nature.People made predictions about the weather by watching what was happening in the insect world.Sometimes their predictions were correct，and sometimes they weren't.
My grandfather spent his whole life as a farmer in Canada.He is long gone now.But I still remember his stories about how to predict the weather.For example，in summer，he would often stop to watch the antills—those piles of earth in front of the ants' homes.
"Look closely at the anthills in July，"Grandpa said."If the anthills are high in July，a snowy winter may arrive."Of course，as a kid，I believed my grandfather.But you know what？The antills are often correct.Not always，but often enough to make me a believer.
In September，Grandpa would often point out a woolly caterpillar（毛毛虫）on a sunny day，"Watch the orange circle around its belly（腹部）.If it's wide and full，we're sure to have a warm and easy winter.If it's thin，be careful!The winter will be severe."
I am older now.I get my weather mostly from the television or radio.But I still stop to watch the antills in July，and of course，the woolly caterpillars in September.Older people can teach us many things.My grandfather was not a scientist，but he knew a lot about insects and the weather.

B.Weather predictions by watching insects.
C.Weather report in modern times.
D.The importance of watching animals.

A few hours earlier，we went to a downtown cafe for an afternoon treat.There were no free tables for four，so we had to take a table for two and sat closer into the small space.We were glad to take a bite of each other's food and laughed a lot.Our voices might make the college students a bit annoyed，who were drinking coffee and working hard to finish their homework.At that time，a young lady came over to our table and said，"I have more room at my table.I am happy to share it with your children，so you can sit more comfortably."It was a simple act，but it showed a selfless（无私的）heart.Her kindness stuck with me for hours after it happened.

【解答】（1）考查动词。句意：五彩缤纷的树叶正在飘落很快。growing生长；flying飞；changing改变；falling落下。根据For the days in late November，（在11月下旬的日子里，）可知，已是深秋，所以树叶应是落下很快。故选D。
（2）考查形容词。句意：我觉得在这样的天气里我很难开心起来。careful仔细的；cheerful开心的；awful可怕的；helpful有帮助的。根据I tried to smile，but I couldn't.（我试图微笑，但我不能。）可知，作者心情不好，所以很难变得开心。故选B。

（9）考查代词。句意：在这些时候，自然呼唤我们自己冲破云层，与世界分享我们的光明。itself它自己；yourselves你们自己；ourselves我们自己；themselves他们自己。根据前面的us（我们）可知，此处是指"我们自己"。故选C。
（10）考查副词。句意：而是勇敢地冲破云层。However然而；Moreover此外；Otherwise否则；Instead相反。根据don't sit in the dark.（不要坐在黑暗里。）以及break through clouds bravely.（勇敢地冲破云层。）可知，前后表转折，However解释为"然而"，表示一种转折，说明后面陈述的内容与前面的内容相反。Instead虽然也表示转折，但它的意思更侧重于"取而代之"的意思。故选D。

26．（4.5分）At present，scientists use modern ways to get information to tell us what the weather will be like.They make predictions（预测）about the weather for today，tomorrow and even for the whole season.
But what did people do before modern technology？Well，not so long ago，people lived much closer to nature.People made predictions about the weather by watching what was happening in the insect world.Sometimes their predictions were correct，and sometimes they weren't.
My grandfather spent his whole life as a farmer in Canada.He is long gone now.But I still remember his stories about how to predict the weather.For example，in summer，he would often stop to watch the antills—those piles of earth in front of the ants' homes.
"Look closely at the anthills in July，"Grandpa said."If the anthills are high in July，a snowy winter may arrive."Of course，as a kid，I believed my grandfather.But you know what？The antills are often correct.Not always，but often enough to make me a believer.
In September，Grandpa would often point out a woolly caterpillar（毛毛虫）on a sunny day，"Watch the orange circle around its belly（腹部）.If it's wide and full，we're sure to have a warm and easy winter.If it's thin，be careful!The winter will be severe."
I am older now.I get my weather mostly from the television or radio.But I still stop to watch the antills in July，and of course，the woolly caterpillars in September.Older people can teach us many things.My grandfather was not a scientist，but he knew a lot about insects and the weather.
（1）According to Grandpa，if the anthills are high in July，maybe it will be B .
A.a rainy winter
B.a snowy winter
C.a long and cold winter
D.a warm and easy winter
（2）The underlined word " severe " means D .
A.hot
B.warm
C.cool
D.cold
（3）What does the passage mainly tell us？ B
A.Grandpa's love for keeping insects.
B.Weather predictions by watching insects.
C.Weather report in modern times.
D.The importance of watching animals.
【分析】本文主要介绍了作者的爷爷通过观察昆虫预知天气。

（2）词义猜测题。根据If it's wide and full，we're sure to have a warm and easy winter.If it's thin，be careful!（如果它又宽又满，我们一定会有一个温暖舒适的冬天。如果很瘦，就要小心了！）可推知，这个冬天应会很冷，所以severe应是"冷的"意思。故选D。

26．（4.5分）At present，scientists use modern ways to get information to tell us what the weather will be like.They make predictions（预测）about the weather for today，tomorrow and even for the whole season.
But what did people do before modern technology？Well，not so long ago，people lived much closer to nature.People made predictions about the weather by watching what was happening in the insect world.Sometimes their predictions were correct，and sometimes they weren't.
My grandfather spent his whole life as a farmer in Canada.He is long gone now.But I still remember his stories about how to predict the weather.For example，in summer，he would often stop to watch the antills—those piles of earth in front of the ants' homes.
"Look closely at the anthills in July，"Grandpa said."If the anthills are high in July，a snowy winter may arrive."Of course，as a kid，I believed my grandfather.But you know what？The antills are often correct.Not always，but often enough to make me a believer.
In September，Grandpa would often point out a woolly caterpillar（毛毛虫）on a sunny day，"Watch the orange circle around its belly（腹部）.If it's wide and full，we're sure to have a warm and easy winter.If it's thin，be careful!The winter will be severe."
I am older now.I get my weather mostly from the television or radio.But I still stop to watch the antills in July，and of course，the woolly caterpillars in September.Older people can teach us many things.My grandfather was not a scientist，but he knew a lot about insects and the weather.
