Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 28 to 34.

The weather is a national obsession in Britain, perhaps because it is so changeable. It's the national talking point, and most people watch at least one daily weather forecast. Most of the viewers imagine that the presenter does little more than arrive at the studio a few minutes before the broadcast, read the weather, and then go home. 

In fact, this image is far from the truth. The two-minute bulletin which we all rely on when we need to know tomorrow's weather is the result of a hard day's work by the presenter, who is actually a highly-qualified meteorologist.

Every morning, after a weather forecaster arrives at the TV studios, his/her first task of the day is to collect the latest data from the National Meteorological Office. The information is very detailed and includes predictions, satellite and radar pictures, as well as more technical data. After gathering all the relevant material from this office, the forecaster has to translate the scientific terminology and maps into images and words which viewers can easily understand. The final broadcast is then carefully planned. The presenter decides what to say and in what order to say it. Next a “story board” is drawn up which lays out the script word for word.     

The time allocated for each broadcast can also alter. This is because the weather report is screened after the news, which can vary in length. The weather forecaster doesn't always know how much time is available, which means that he/she has to be thoroughly prepared so that the material can be adapted to the time available.

What makes weather forecasting more complicated is that it has to be a live broadcast and cannot be pre-recorded. Live shows are very nerve-racking for the presenter because almost anything can go wrong. Perhaps the most worrying aspect for every weather forecaster is getting the following day's predictions wrong. Unfortunately for them, this is not an unusual occurrence; the weather is not always possible to predict accurately.

These days, a weather forecaster's job is even more complicated because they are relied upon to predict other environmental conditions. For example, in the summer the weather forecast has to include the pollen count for hay fever sufferers. Some also include reports on ultraviolet radiation intensity to help people avoid sunburn. The job of a weather forecaster is certainly far more sophisticated than just pointing at a map and describing weather conditions. It's a job for professionals who can cope with stressful and challenging conditions.

Creating a weather report is complex because _____.

A. the information includes unreliable predictions

B. radar pictures are technical

C. maps have to be drawn

D. a lot of data has to be interpreted

The final broadcast is then carefully planned. The presenter decides what to say and in what order to say it. Next a “story board” is drawn up which lays out the script word for word.     

The time allocated for each broadcast can also alter. This is because the weather report is screened after the news, which can vary in length. The weather forecaster doesn't always know how much time is available, which means that he/she has to be thoroughly prepared so that the material can be adapted to the time available.

What makes weather forecasting more complicated is that it has to be a live broadcast and cannot be pre-recorded. Live shows are very nerve-racking for the presenter because almost anything can go wrong. Perhaps the most worrying aspect for every weather forecaster is getting the following day's predictions wrong. Unfortunately for them, this is not an unusual occurrence; the weather is not always possible to predict accurately.

These days, a weather forecaster's job is even more complicated because they are relied upon to predict other environmental conditions. For example, in the summer the weather forecast has to include the pollen count for hay fever sufferers. Some also include reports on ultraviolet radiation intensity to help people avoid sunburn. The job of a weather forecaster is certainly far more sophisticated than just pointing at a map and describing weather conditions. It's a job for professionals who can cope with stressful and challenging conditions.

What can be inferred from the passage?

A. British people are concerned with weather because it affects their economy.

B. Weather forecasting is among demanding jobs.

C. TV reporters need to learn by heart what to say.

D. To become a weather forecaster, you must graduate from a prestigious university.

Thời tiết là nỗi ám ảnh toàn quốc gia ở Anh, có lẽ vì nó quá dễ thay đổi. Đó là tiêu điểm bàn luận của cả quốc gia, và hầu hết mọi người xem ít nhất một bản dự báo thời tiết hàng ngày. Hầu hết người xem nghĩ rằng người trình bày chỉ là đến phòng thu vài phút trước khi phát sóng, đọc bản tin thời tiết, rồi về nhà.

Trong thực tế, điều này là xa sự thật. Bản tin 2 phút mà tất cả chúng ta đều dựa vào khi chúng ta cần biết thời tiết ngày mai là kết quả của một ngày làm việc bận rộn bởi người thuyết trình, người thực sự là một nhà khí tượng học có trình độ cao.

Mỗi buổi sáng, sau khi dự báo thời tiết đến các phòng thu truyền hình, nhiệm vụ đầu tiên của họ trong ngày là thu thập dữ liệu mới nhất từ Cục Khí tượng Quốc gia. Thông tin rất chi tiết và bao gồm các dự đoán, hình ảnh vệ tinh và radar, cũng như các dữ liệu kỹ thuật khác. Sau khi thu thập tất cả các tài liệu liên quan từ văn phòng này, người dự báo phải dịch các thuật ngữ khoa học và bản đồ thành hình ảnh và từ ngữ mà người xem có thể dễ dàng hiểu được. Chương trình phát sóng cuối cùng được lên kế hoạch cẩn thận. Người thuyết trình quyết định phải nói gì và nói theo thứ tự nào. Tiếp theo là một "bảng câu chuyện" được soạn thảo để đưa ra từ kịch bản cho đến từng từ ngữ.

Thời gian dành cho mỗi chương trình phát sóng cũng có thể thay đổi. Điều này là do báo cáo thời tiết được kiểm tra sau khi tin tức có thể thay đổi về độ dài. Người dự báo thời tiết không phải lúc nào cũng biết có sẵn bao nhiêu thời gian, có nghĩa là người đó phải được chuẩn bị kỹ lưỡng để tư liệu có thể được điều chỉnh theo thời gian sẵn có.

Điều làm cho việc dự báo thời tiết trở nên phức tạp hơn là nó phải là một phát sóng trực tiếp và không thể được ghi lại trước. Các chương trình trực tiếp rất căng thẳng với người thuyết trình bởi vì hầu hết mọi thứ đều có thể chệnh hướng. Có lẽ khía cạnh đáng lo ngại nhất đối với mọi người dự báo thời tiết là dự đoán sai về tình hình thời tiết ngày hôm sau. Thật không may cho họ, đây không phải là điều gì lạ lẫm; thời tiết không phải lúc nào cũng có thể dự đoán một cách chính xác.

Ngày nay, công việc dự báo thời tiết phức tạp hơn bởi vì họ dựa vào để dự đoán các điều kiện môi trường khác. Ví dụ, vào mùa hè, dự báo thời tiết phải bao gồm số lượng hạt phấn cho những người bị bệnh sốt rét. Một số cũng bao gồm các báo cáo về cường độ bức xạ cực tím để giúp người dân tránh cháy nắng. Công việc của một người dự báo thời tiết chắc chắn là phức tạp hơn nhiều so với việc chỉ ra một bản đồ và mô tả các điều kiện thời tiết. Đó là một công việc cho các chuyên gia, những người có thể đối mặt được với một công việc đầy thử thách và áp lực.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 28 to 34.

The weather is a national obsession in Britain, perhaps because it is so changeable. It's the national talking point, and most people watch at least one daily weather forecast. Most of the viewers imagine that the presenter does little more than arrive at the studio a few minutes before the broadcast, read the weather, and then go home. 

In fact, this image is far from the truth. The two-minute bulletin which we all rely on when we need to know tomorrow's weather is the result of a hard day's work by the presenter, who is actually a highly-qualified meteorologist.

Every morning, after a weather forecaster arrives at the TV studios, his/her first task of the day is to collect the latest data from the National Meteorological Office. The information is very detailed and includes predictions, satellite and radar pictures, as well as more technical data. After gathering all the relevant material from this office, the forecaster has to translate the scientific terminology and maps into images and words which viewers can easily understand. The final broadcast is then carefully planned. The presenter decides what to say and in what order to say it. Next a “story board” is drawn up which lays out the script word for word.     

The time allocated for each broadcast can also alter. This is because the weather report is screened after the news, which can vary in length. The weather forecaster doesn't always know how much time is available, which means that he/she has to be thoroughly prepared so that the material can be adapted to the time available.

What makes weather forecasting more complicated is that it has to be a live broadcast and cannot be pre-recorded. Live shows are very nerve-racking for the presenter because almost anything can go wrong. Perhaps the most worrying aspect for every weather forecaster is getting the following day's predictions wrong. Unfortunately for them, this is not an unusual occurrence; the weather is not always possible to predict accurately.

These days, a weather forecaster's job is even more complicated because they are relied upon to predict other environmental conditions.

The job of a weather forecaster is certainly far more sophisticated than just pointing at a map and describing weather conditions. It's a job for professionals who can cope with stressful and challenging conditions.

A. British people are concerned with weather because it affects their economy.

B. Weather forecasting is among demanding jobs.

C. TV reporters need to learn by heart what to say.

D. To become a weather forecaster, you must graduate from a prestigious university.
