话题突破04 天气气候（听力专练）
高考英语听力中，“天气气候”是一个高频且稳定的场景。掌握其出题规律和核心语料，能帮助你高
效得分。此类听力通常不以复杂的气象学知识为重点，而是聚焦于天气如何影响人们的日常生活、出行安
排和社会活动。主要出现在以下两种场景中：
纯粹的天气预报：独白形式，播报当前及未来一段时间内的天气状况、温度、风力等。
事件叙述中的背景信息：在对话或独白中，天气作为事件发生的背景或原因。例如，因为下雨取消了比赛，
因为大雪延误了航班等。
常见提问角度：
1. 主旨题
What is the talk/announcement mainly about?
What is the main topic of the conversation?
What is the speaker discussing?
What is the primary purpose of this weather report?
2. 细节题
What is the weather like [now / on Monday]?
What will the temperature be [in the afternoon]?
When will the rain/snow [start / stop]?
How long will the sunny/cold weather last?
Where is the storm coming from?
What does the speaker suggest people do? (e.g., carry an umbrella, drive slowly)
Why was the [event, e.g., picnic, match] cancelled?
3. 推理题
Who is probably speaking? (e.g., a weather forecaster, a radio host)
What will the man/woman most likely do next?
What can be inferred about the speakers? (e.g., they are planning an outdoor activity)
What happened because of the weather?
技巧1 读题预测，抓住关键
语料总结
在听力开始前，快速浏览问题和选项，预测对话主题。如果看到选项中有 sunny, rainy, storm,
temperature 等词，立刻意识到这是天气场景。
圈定关键词：在问题和选项中圈出 when, what, how, where 等疑问词以及表示天气现象的名词和形
容词。
技巧2 聚焦“四大核心信息”
听的时候，要有目的地捕捉以下四类信息，并简单速记：
天气现象：晴、雨、雪、风、雾、云等。
温度数字：具体度数、最高/最低温、升温/降温。
时间节点：当前天气、变化发生的时间（如某天上午、下午）、持续时间。
影响与建议：天气带来的结果（如取消活动、交通延误）以及给出的应对建议（如带伞、慢行）。
技巧3 警惕转折与修正
听力材料中常常出现信息的转折或修正，这些地方是设题的重灾区。
关注转折词：but, however, yet, actually, in fact。
例如：“It was supposed to be sunny, but it's raining now.”（问题很可能问现在的天气。）
注意否定词：not, won't, can't。防止因漏听否定词而选择相反答案。
技巧4 理解同义替换
正确选项往往不会使用原文中的原词，而是进行同义替换。
形容词与动词的替换：
rainy → shower, wet weather
cold → chilly, freezing, low temperature
stop → clear up, be over
句式结构的替换：
“The temperature will drop to 10°C.” → “It will be 10 degrees.”
技巧5 结合常识推理
有时，即使没有完全听懂，也可以利用常识进行合理推断。
夏天通常炎热，冬天寒冷。
下雨天可能会带伞、取消户外活动。
下大雪可能导致交通问题、学校停课。

【原文】W: Hello everybody, welcome to our program. I'm Shelly Rivers. The weather in Madrid will be scary
during the following six months from May to October. Summer has not come yet, but we could feel the heat in the
past week. As a resident who has lived in Madrid since 1990, I always tell people to avoid this period of time if
they want to visit. Even the locals dread it, May is known as the hottest month in Madrid. However, if you visit in
May, you can expect fewer crowds of tourists and a fair price at a fancy hotel. You just have to deal with the rainy
days. Besides the weather, mosquitoes will also annoy you, but the good news is that the showers tend to pass
quickly.
Whenever you visit Madrid, you have to drink much water. You need to prepare a reusable water bottle, like a
water-to-go bottle, to lessen the chance of getting sick while traveling around.

A blanket of hot air has settled on India’s capital New Delhi, making the usually busy streets quiet and
somewhat lonely. In the past two years, people dying from heat-related illnesses in India have fallen sharply, from
about 2,000 in 2015 to half that number in the following year, and to a little over 200 in 2017.
According to a law passed in India in 2013, when temperatures rise to some degree which may cause extreme
damage to human body, school days will be reduced, government projects will stop, and free water will be given in
busy areas. India is aiming to reduce the number of deaths from extreme heat to zero in the next few years.

【原文】 Good morning everyone! I hope everybody is having a good start of the week. Enjoy the sun as
much as you can because it won’t last long! A group of clouds are expected to arrive on Tuesday morning, and rain
will follow by around three o’clock in the afternoon on the same day. The wet weather will continue until Thursday
morning. While the sun should appear again by noon on Friday, it is very possible that a storm will hit us later
during the day. So make sure you have your umbrella with you the whole week. The good news is that we will have
great weather this weekend thanks to some wind coming from the southeast. As for the temperature, it shall climb
to 17 degrees this afternoon. However, because of the rain, it will drop to between six and eight degrees by
Tuesday, and remain like that until the weekend. So stay warm and follow our updates!

【原文】Good evening. This is Alan Rickman here with this week’s weather report. After a week of dry weather,
there’s a huge storm coming from the west. We are expecting heavy snowfall and strong winds tomorrow morning.
The temperatures might drop sharply with a low of minus ten degrees Celsius. I won’t be surprised if schools get
closed. So be careful when going outside. If you have to go out, dress warmly and don’t stay outside for too long.
Road conditions might be poor, so avoid driving if you can. You should store enough food and other necessary
items quickly, just in case you’ll have to stay at home for a couple of days once the storm hits. On Wednesday, the
temperature varies from minus five degrees Celsius to minus eight. It seems that the storm will leave on the
weekend with light snow expected. Next month the dry weather will come back, but it won’t bring back the warmth
we enjoyed last week, but the severe cold instead. Sorry for all the bad news to those who enjoy outdoor sports.
And that’s your weather report. Have a great evening! Now, back to Dan with tonight’s business news.
