  Different weather makes people feel different.It influences(影響)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 every 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, IQ(智商)of a group students were very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10%below.The wind can help people have more intelligence.Very hot weather, on the other hand(另一方面), can make it lower.Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on 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 18C, people become stronger.

  Low air pressure(氣壓)may make people forgetful.People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days.There are a “good weather” for word and health.People feel best at a temperature of about 18 centigrade(攝氏度).

  Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.

答案:1.A;2.C;3.A;4.D;5.B;
解析:

(1)

根據(jù)文章第二自然段的描述可知,冷濕天氣對人的健康是有害的.

(2)

第三段的首句“The weather can also influence intelligence”說的就是這個意思.

(3)

本題屬表層理解題.答案就在“Low air pressure may make people forgetful.”中.

(4)

由“People feel best at a temperature of about 18 centigrade.”一句可知.

(5)

  根據(jù)文章最后的“Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.”這一句,我們可以推測出作者的寫作意圖。

  這篇短文告訴我們的是:天氣的冷熱干濕對人體健康有很大的影響.比如心臟病高發(fā)區(qū)所在地往往是嚴(yán)寒或酷熱.大風(fēng)或炎熱天氣里,人的智商會降低.瘦人怕冷天,而炎炎夏日對胖人又不利.此外,低氣壓還能導(dǎo)致健忘.

  Every night the stars seem to move slowly round the sky in a great circle(圓周).But one star is dif-ferent from others.It looks as if it never moved.To us, it is always in exactly the same place all thetime.It is called the Pole Star(北極星).It is not a very bright star, but it is very important.Sailors use the Pole Star to find out where they are moving to.

  The amazing(令人驚奇的)thing is that the stars are all so far away.If you travelled in the space-ship for a hundred years you would still not reach the nearest star!

  A star is really a great ball of burning gas(燃燒的氣體),like the sun.Some stars are much bigger than the sun, But they are all so far away from us that they just look like dots(圓點(diǎn))of light.

  On the clearest night you can count about 2 000 stars.This may seem a lot, but with a telescope you can see many more.The better the telescope, the more stars you can see.Scientists tell us there are millions and millions of stars.No one know exactly how many there are.
