No one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting.
For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. That many people feel their joints(关节) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.
Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.
【小题1】Which of the following can be used here to replace(取代) the underlined phrase “on the way”?

　　The great ship, “Titanic” , sailed (航行) for New York on april 10th, 1912. She was carrying more than 2000 people.

　　At that time, she was not only the biggest of all the ships that had ever been built but also was thought to be unsinkable(不沉的), for she had sixteen compartments (防水船舱) with her. Even if four of those were broken, she would still be able to stay on the sea.

　　Four days after setting out, while the “Titanic” was sailing across the ocean (海洋) ,a very large iceberg (冰山) was suddenly seen. The great ship turned quickly on time, but before long there was a sudden sound from below. and the captain(船长) went down to see what was the matter. The noise was so low that no one thought that the ship had been broken. To the captain's great surprise, the “Titanic” was sinking fast as five of her sixteen compartments had already broken! Hundreds of people jumped into the water. as there was not enough lifeboat, 1, 500 lives were lost.
