And it also affects how we feel and behave. It is a big part of our lives! We often use weather language to describe how we feel. For example, if we are feeling ill, we say we are “under the weather”. If we are feeling stressed and busy, we can say that we are “snowed under”. We use “bad” weather (rainy, stormy, etc.) to describe a bad mood, and “good” weather (sunny, warm, etc.) to describe a good mood. And that is not all. The weather can even change the way we feel! For example, sunlight helps our body to produce vitamin D. This vitamin can improve our mood. But some parts of the world get little sunlight in winter, so people can feel unusually sad then. However, when it is hot and sunny, some people may get angry easily, too! Scientists are still studying how the weather changes the way people feel and behave. These days, many of us spend less time outside than in the past. Getting no fresh air or sunlight and spending too much time inside can make us feel down. It is very important to go outside once in a while, whatever the weather, rain or shine! 20. What can weather affect according to the first paragraph? A. Our activities, habits and feelings. B. Our actions, habits and clothing. C. Our actions, clothing and feelings. 21. What does the underlined phrase “snowed under” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Feeling ill. B. Feeling stressed and busy. C. Feeling cold. 22. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Why people feel sad in winter. B. How sunlight improves our mood. C. How the weather changes our feelings. 23. What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph? A. Going outside is good for our mood. B. We should stay inside all the time. C. Bad weather makes us feel bad. C Exercise is very important for our health. It helps us stay strong and healthy. When we exercise, our bodies become strong. Exercise also makes us feel happy because it can produce endorphins (产生内啡肽) in our bodies. When we play sport, we will have fun. Exercise helps us make friends when we play together. It also helps us focus better in school, so we can do better in our studies. What’s more, sport can also strengthen our will. It teaches us to keep trying when facing problems. Doing sport is also a great way to relax. If you take a walk in the evening, it can even help you fall asleep faster. While walking in a quiet park, you can enjoy the beautiful sights around you and clear your head from a busy day. So if you want to have a healthy body or just have fun, doing sport is really a great way. It can help you get your goals and make your life wonderful. 24.

D Do you know anyone born in the Year of the Tiger? What are they like? Are they brave or strong? If so, then they are a typical “tiger”. In Chinese culture, tigers are seen as the king of all animals. They are the symbols of power, energy and protection. Tigers are regarded as fearless creatures, so that’s why in China, you can see images of tigers on the walls of temples or houses — to keep away from disasters and danger. Tigers have important cultural symbols not just in China, but across Asia. As they mostly live in Asia, for many people in the West, they have become a cultural symbol of Eastern countries. For example, strong economies (经济) in the East — Singapore, South Korea, China’s Hong Kong and Taiwan — were called “The Four Asian Tigers”. Instead of tigers, lions are seen as the king of all animals in the West. Brave soldiers were given the name “the lion”. But in the West, tigers are also seen as a very powerful animal. In English, if you want someone to calm down, you can say to them, “Easy tiger.” Another famous phrase is “Eye of the Tiger”, which means strength. Tigers are also one of my favorite animals. I first learned about the beauty of tigers as a child, while watching animal cartoons. If you ask my mom, she’ll tell you that my most valuable toy while growing up was my toy tiger, which I still treasure to this day. As a young animal lover, I felt so sad that they were endangered animals and I wanted to help protect them. Just like tigers serve as a symbol of protection in Chinese culture, we can only hope that in the Year of the Tiger, more people can learn about tigers and help protect them from further danger. 28. According to the passage, people born in the Year of Tiger may be _________. A. strong-willed B. easy-going C. careful 29. Why are the pictures of tigers drawn on the walls in China according to the passage? A. To make houses beautiful. B. To practice drawing skills. C. To keep away from something awful. 30. Which sentence is right according to the text? A. In English, when somebody gets happy, you can say “Easy tiger”. B. The writer hopes more people can help protect tigers. C. Tigers are also considered as the king of all animals in the West. 31. What is the main idea of this article? A. Tigers are in great danger. B. Why we should protect tigers. C. Talk about tigers — in the Year of the Tiger 第三部分 任务型阅读（共4小题；第37小题1分，第38、39小题每题2分，第40小题3分，共8分）阅读短文，根据短文内容完成下列各题。 Taiyuan Weather Station was set up 48 years ago.
