And his charged eighty five pounds for (10)doing / completing the job . 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 . * fascination [,fổsi'nei∫n] danh từ - sự thôi miên, sự làm mê ; sự mê hoặc, sự quyến rũ * arise [ə'raiz] - nội động từ ( arose, arisen) - xuất hiện, nảy sinh ra, xảy ra more difficulties arose - nhiều khó khăn nảy sinh ra phát sinh do; do bởi ; Ex :difficulties arising from the war - những khó khăn do chiến tranh mà ra * sandwich['sổnwidʒ] (n) bánh xăng-đúych (nghĩa bóng) cái kẹp cái khoác vào giữa để vào giữa, kẹp vào giữa, xen vào giữa * direction [di'rek∫n] danh từ - sự điều khiển, sự chỉ huy, sự cai quản to assume the direction of an affair - nắm quyền điều khiển một công việc ( số nhiều) lời chỉ bảo, lời hướng dẫn, chỉ thị, huấn thị directions for use - lời hướng dẫn cách dùng ; to give directions - ra chỉ thị phương hướng, chiều, phía, ngả in the direction of - về hướng (phía ) mặt, phương diện ; Ex :improvement in many directions - sự cải tiến về nhiều mặt ; (như) directorate * movements (n) ( số nhiều) những hành động, chuyến đi trong một khoảng thời gian nhất định (đặc biệt là do một người khác theo dơi và ghi lại); các động thái the police have been keeping a close watch on the suspects' movement cảnh sát đă theo dơi nghiêm ngặt di biến động của những kẻ bị t ́ nh nghi * pressure['pre∫ə(r)] danh từ - sức ép, áp suất, áp lực ( (nghĩa đen) & (nghĩa bóng)), * unremarkable ['ʌnri'ma:kəbl] tính từ - không nổi bật, tầm thường * to some, what, such an, a certain extent - tới một mức độ nhất định Ex : To some extent you are right - Trong một chừng mực nào đó, anh nói đúng To what extent can he be believed? - Có thể tin nó tới mức nào? * variation [,veəri'ei∫n] danh từ - sự biến đổi, sự thay đổi; mức độ thay đổi, mức độ biến đổi a variation in colour - sự biến đổi về màu sắc variation in public opinion - sự thay đổi ư kiến trong dư luận sự khác nhau, sự dao động some variations of the sense - một vài sự khác nhau về nghĩa * measurement ['məʒəmənt] danh từ - sự đo lường; phép đo ; kích thước; khuôn khổ; số đo to take the measurements of something - đo kích thước, lấy kích thước (của cái ǵ) * detect / di'tekt] - ngoại động từ - ḍ ra, t ́ m ra, khám phá ra, phát hiện ra to detect someone in doing something - phát hiện thấy người nào đang làm ǵ to detect a symptom of disease - phát hiện ra triệu chứng bệnh nhận thấy, nhận ra * estimate ['estimit - 'estimeit] danh từ - sự đánh giá, sự ước lượng ; số lượng ước đoán ngoại động từ - đánh giá; ước lượng * possibility [,pɔsə'biləti] -danh từ ( possibility of something / doing something; possibility that ) khả năng; sự có thể, t ́ nh trạng có thể ice age ['ais'eidʒ] danh tư - thời kỳ băng hà * forthcoming [fɔ:ố'kʌmiỗ] tính từ - sắp đến, sắp tới forthcoming session - phiên họp (sắp) tới list of forthcoming books - danh mục các quyển sách sắp xuất bản (dùng trong câu phủ định) sẵn sàng hoặc sẽ có khi cần đến the money we asked for was not forthcoming - số tiền mà chúng tôi yêu cầu lúc đó chưa có sẵn sẵn sàng giúp đỡ, chỉ dẫn the secretary at the reception desk was not very forthcoming - người thư kư ở quầy lễ tân không thật sẵn sàng giúp đỡ * ( the once) một lần, một dịp duy nhất Ex : the once is enough for me - một lần là đủ đối với tôi 1.
