It has an influence (影响) on health, intelligence (智力) and feelings. In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March. The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, the IQ (智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have higher intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse in exams in the hot months of the year (July and August). Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people feel more comfortable. Are you feeling good, tired, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem. 1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指的是)? A．Health. B．Wind. C．IQ. D．Weather. 2．Why do students in the United States usually get worse in exams in July and August? A．Because they have low IQ. B．Because the weather is very hot.

A．Different Changes of Weather B．IQ and Weather C．Exams in the Hot Months D．Weather and Its Influences on People 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了不同的天气会影响人们的健康、智力和感情。 1．代词指代题。根据“the IQ (智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower”可知，此处it指代前文的IQ。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Students in many schools of the United States often get worse in exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).”可知，美国学生在7月和8月的考试中总是考得很差，是因为7月和8月是一年中最热的几个月。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States ...

In spring and summer it is often cloudy and it often rains a lot, and people don’t often see the sun. You may think there are not other things but ice and snow in Siberia.

But you are lucky because you don’t live in Siberia (西伯利亚). In many places in Siberia, the winter is always very long and it’s very cold! It begins to snow in November and the snow leaves the next May. The temperature (气温) is often about -25℃, but it’s sometimes much colder. When it’s -35℃, students don’t go to school, but people need to go to work! And in some places, the temperature can be -70℃. In spring and summer it is often cloudy and it often rains a lot, and people don’t often see the sun. You may think there are not other things but ice and snow in Siberia. In fact, many people live there and there are lots of trees. People there wear a lot of warm clothes. All the houses have heating, so it’s never cold in them. In winter, people close the windows, and they don’t open them again before spring comes. 1．How does the writer begin the text? A．With a story. B．With a song. C．With a question.

Many people often begin their talks by saying “Isn’t it a nice day?” “Do you think it will rain?” or “I think it’s going to snow.” Many people think they can tell what the weather is going to be like. But sometimes they don’t agree with each other. One man may say, “Do you see how cloudy it is in the east? It’s going to rain tomorrow.” Another man will say, “No, it’s going to be fine tomorrow.” People often look for the weather they want. When a farmer needs water, he looks for something to tell him it’s going to rain, and he doesn’t look for anything else. When friends have a picnic, they hope the weather is going to be fine and they can sit under the blue sky eating their lunch. Almost everyone listens to what the weatherman says. But he doesn’t always tell us what we want, and sometimes he makes a mistake (错误). Still, he is right most of the time. 1．People often begin their talks by ________.
