Scientists have known for a long time that the sun has an 11-year cycle during which radiation from the sun reaches a(n) (42)A then falls.But detecting a clear link of the cycle to the weather has proved much (43)H.
"Our research notices a link between solar activities and regional winter climate,"lead author Sarah Ineson of the UK Met Office told the reporters in an email.
Her team focused on the data from the recent minimum solar radiation period during 2008-10,which was a(n) (44)G calm period for the sun but at the same time,(45)C winters in the U.S and Europe were recorded which brought troubles to many businesses and made people's lives difficult.
The researchers found that a reduction in radiation from the sun can affect wind patterns,(46)D cold winters.
"While radiation levels won't tell us what the day-to-day weather will be,they provide the exciting (47)B of improved prediction for winter conditions for months and even years ahead.These predictions play an important role in long-term weather planning,"Ineson said.
Ineson's team used the data in a complex computer to (48)K long-term weather patterns.It successfully reproduced what scientists had observed happening in the upper atmosphere during changes in solar radiation.More study was needed,though.The key (49)F in the experiment lay in the satellite data used,because it spans(跨度) only a few years."So there are still questions concerning whether the current research results are accurate and whether they can be (50)I to other solar cycles,"she said.
分析 科学家们发现太阳紫外线的降低会使北半球的冬天更为寒冷,这一研究发现有可能会有助于发展长期准确的天气预报,从而能够提醒人们提前防备暴风雪的来临.但是科学家们同时也指出这项研究还有待于发现更多的科学数据作支持.
解答 41-50 JAHGC DBKFI
41.答案J.根据句意可知,科学家认为,太阳辐射的下降会导致北美与欧洲地区寒冷的冬天,这一结果能够改进长时间的预测与帮助国家为即将到来的暴风雪做准备(prepare).
42.答案A.根据句意可知,科学家已经知道太阳有11年的周期,在此期间内,太阳辐射达到最高点(peak)后会下降.
43.答案H.根据句意可知,但是检测太阳周期与天气之间的联系证明是很复杂的(complicated).
44.答案G.根据句意可知,从2008年到2010年,是太阳极不寻常(unusually)的平静阶段.
45.答案C.根据句意可知,此同时,美国与欧洲的极端寒冷的(intense)冬天将对商业与人们的生活带来很大的困难.
46.答案D.根据句意可知,科学家发现,太阳辐射的减少能影响风向,这也能够预示(indicating)寒冷的冬天.
47.答案B.根据句意可知,虽然太阳辐射水平并不能告诉我们每天的天气,但是他们能够给我们提供令人高兴的预期(prospect).
48.答案K.根据句意可知,她的团队使用数据、利用复杂的电脑程序模拟(model)长期的天气形式.
49.答案F.根据句意可知,在实验中,不确定性(uncertainty)存在于卫星数据中,因为它的跨度仅仅只有几年的时间.
50.答案I.根据句意可知,因此有许多问题需要关注,如目前的研究结果是否准确,以及它是否能用于(applied)其他的星系中.
