b. read the paragraph carefully and then choose the best answer below
It is not true that British talk about the weather more than any other nation . In
many parts of the world the weather holds just as much fascination . Parts of the
fascination arises because the weather in many parts of the world is very difficult to
forecast . Because Britain is an island sandwiches between a large continent and a large
ocean, slight changes in direction of winds in the Atlantic or movements in areas of high
or low pressure can make a major difference to our weather .
Most of the time our weather is unremarkable . But in the last few years weather
patterns mẫu , mô hình have been causing so much trouble that it raises the question : Is
the weather changing to such an extent that it amounts to a change in the climate?
It is a question that is very difficult to answer . The daily and weekly variations in
weather are so great that it takes years of careful measurement to detect changes in the
average weather from year to year . And to detect changes in the climate involves the
worldwide application of a whole number of scientific investigations .
However , looking at the distant past an estimating what may happen in the future
based on theoretical possibilities , It seems there are two possibilities . The world could
be slipping back towards another Ice Age . But in the shorter term what man is doing may
well lead to a heating up of the planet which could delay , if not prevent any forthcoming
Ice Age .
It is sudden and unexpected weather which makes people wonder what is happening to
our climate -like the once - in - a lifetime experience of the vicious (a) dữ dội , ác liệt
storm which swept southern England in autumn 1987 . The southern states of the USA
are used to such storm , the southern part of Britain isn’t . And when literally
['litərəli](adv) thật vậy, đúng là

millions of trees were uprooted and millions of pounds worth of damage was done to
houses ,farms and businesses, people wondered just what was going on . It was probably
the worst storm in Southeast Britain for some 300 years .
