1.句意：這是測試他的新發(fā)明雨傘帽的最佳天氣。

cold冷的；perfect完美的；strange奇怪的；changeable多變的。根據(jù)“Itwasarainy”可知下雨的天氣測試雨

傘帽是完美的。故選B。

抬起頭看到了一位女士。故選C。

6.句意：然后她看到那頂破傘帽。

ugly丑陋的；old老的；broken破的；tiny小的。根據(jù)“Toddthrewthehatontotheground”可知Todd把雨傘帽

從他頭上拿下來，摔到了地上，所以這個帽子壞了。故選C。

7.句意：繼續(xù)發(fā)明，總有一天你會創(chuàng)造出真正偉大的東西！
