【详解】
6．句意：——昨天晚上十点你正在做什么？——我正在玩电脑游戏。

点你正在做什么”，用疑问词what符合题意；句子开头首字母要大写。故答案为What。
7．句意：当Jack的妈妈回到家的时候，他正在沙发上睡觉。
考查对画线部分提问。画线部分“when his mother got back home”是时间状语从句，由此可

母大写。故答案为When was。
8．句意：当老师进来的时候，这对双胞胎正在大声讲话。

四、阅读理解
No one can change the weather. But if we read the signs around us correctly, we can tell how
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.
Many people feel in their bones the coming of wet weather—they feel joints (关节). Some birds
fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the
way. It is probably because of the insects which they are hunting that they fly low. 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 (闪烁), 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, 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.
