下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道題。請根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，為每題確定1個(gè)最佳選

項(xiàng)。

第一篇ForecastingMethods

Therearcseveraldifferentmethodsthatcanbeusedtocreateaforecast.Themethoda

forecasterchoosesdependsupontheexperienceoftheforecaster,theamountofinformation

availabletotheforecaster,thelevelofdifficultythattheforecastsituationpresents,andthedegree

ofaccuracyorconfidenceneededintheforecast.

Thefirstofthesemethodsisthepersistencemethod;thesimplestwayofproducingaforecast.

Thepersistencemethodassumesthattheconditionsatthetimeoftheforecastwillnotchange.For

example,ifitissunnyand87degreestoday,thepersistencemethodpredictsthatitwillbesunny

and87degreestomorrow.Iftwoinchesofrainfelltoday,thepersistencemethodwouldpredict

twoinchesofrainfortomorrow.However,ifweatherconditionschangesignificantlyfromdayto

day,thepersistencemethodusuallybreaksdownandisnotthebestforecastingmethodtouse.

Thetrendsmethodinvolvesdeterminingthespeedanddirectionofmovcmcniforfronts.high

andlowpressurecenters,andareasofcloudsandprecipitation.Usingthisinformation,the

forecastercanpredictwhereheorsheexpectsthosefeaturestobeatsomefuturetime.For

example,ifastormsystemisl,0()0mileswestofyourlocationandmovingtotheeastat250

milesperday,usingthetrendsmethodyouwouldpredictittoarriveinyourareain4days.The

trendsmethodworkswellwhensystemscontinuetomoveatthesamespeedinthesamedirection

foralongperiodoftime.I:theyslowdown,speedup,changeintensity,orchangedirection,the

trendsforecastwillprobablynotworkaswell.

Theclimatologymethodisanothersimplewayofproducingaforecast.Thismethodinvolves

averagingweatherstatisticsaccumulatedovermanyyears:omaketheforecast.Forexample,if

youwereusingtheclimatologymethodtopredicttheweatherforNewYorkCityonJuly4th,you

wouldgothroughalltheweatherdatathathasbeenrecordedforeveryJuly4thandtakean

average.Theclimatologymethodonlyworkswellwhentheweatherpatternissimilartothat

expectedtorthechosentimeofyear.Itthepatternisquiteunusualforthegiventimeofyear,the

climatologymethodwilloftenfail.

Theanalogmethodisaslightlymorecomplicatedmethodofproducingaforecast.Itinvolves

examiningtoday'sforecastscenarioandrememberingadayinthepastwhentheweatherscenario

lookedverysimilar(ananalog).Theforecasterwouldpredictthattheweatherinthisforecastwill
