单选题 What was the report given by the weather station in Chicago?

【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析]
On the area weather map, most stations in southern Michigan are still reporting sunny skies. It's seventy-three degrees at Lansing. Chicago is reporting light showers. South Bend is cloudy as the cloudiness moves in from the southwest.
The temperature at Ann Arbor airport in degrees Celsius is twenty-three point three. That's seventy-four degrees on the Fahrenheit scale. Sixty-six degrees is the water temperature of the lake with winds gusting at twenty knots.
And now for the extended forecast. For tonight, we expect partly cloudy conditions and mild temperatures with tonight's low about sixty degrees and only a twenty percent chance of any showers this evening.
Tomorrow morning, look for mostly cloudy conditions with a seventy percent chance of showers and thundershowers continuing into the evening. It looks like it will be a mild, but rainy weekend.

本题答案信息对应于独白第三句:Chicago is reporting light showers。这是一则天气预报,这种文体和材料的出题特点是绝大部分甚至所有问题都是细节题,考生在辨别和选择答案时一般可以遵循“所听即所答”这一原则。
