问题     There was once a tiny country that was suffering from a long drought. It hadn’t rained for so long that the people there started to go hungry because of the bad harvests.
    It just so happened that a group of musicians were traveling the country, trying to make a living from their concerts. But with so many problems in the land, no one felt like listening to music. "But music can help overcome any problem," said the musicians, without anyone paying the slightest attention to them.
    So the musicians tried to find out the reason why it didn’t rain. It was strange, because the sky was overcast, but no one could provide an answer.
    "It’s been cloudy like this for many months, but not a single drop of rain has fallen," people told them.
    "Don’t worry. We’ll bring rain to the country," the musicians responded and they began rehearsing for a concert at the summit of the highest mountain.
    Everyone who heard the music was seized by curiosity and went up to the mountain. The conductor of this strange orchestra gave the order and the musicians began to play.
    From their instruments came small, playful musical notes that rose into the clouds. The music was so joyous, happy and fun, and the notes started playing with the clouds’soft, fluffy bellies, running here and there, up and down, and the whole sky turned into one big game of tickle torture. Before long, the giant clouds were thundering with laughter.
    The musicians continued playing joyfully and a few minutes later the clouds, crying with laughter, soaked(使湿透) the little country below with their precious tears, bringing happiness to all.
    In memory of that rain, everyone in the country learned how to play an instrument. They took turns to go up to the mountain every day and bring joy to the clouds with their beautiful songs.
What’s the meaning of the underlined word in the third paragraph?
选项 A、Cloudy.
B、Rainy.
C、Sunny.
D、Windy.
答案A
解析 根据第三段最后一句“…the sky Was overcast…”和第四段…It’s been cloudy like this for many months…”可知，天空像这样阴云密布已经好几个月了，overcast与cloudy(阴天的，阴云密布的)意思相近，意为“阴天的，多云的”。rainy：多雨的；sunny：阳光充足的；windy：(天气等)多风的。故选A。
