Question

The weather can influence(影響)intelligence(智力). For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ 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 more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, 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 weather. At about 18 °C, people become stronger.
Lower air pressure may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18 °C.
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem

Answer 1

DACD
本文大意:主要說了天氣對人的智力和情感的影響。
1. 從第一段第一句“The weather can influence(影響)intelligence(智力).”可以看出天氣對智力有影響，所以選D.
2. 從第一段最后一句“Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months”可以看出，學(xué)生成績差是因為天氣熱的緣故.所以選A.
3. 本題考查學(xué)生對stronger的理解，strong本意是強(qiáng)的，強(qiáng)壯的，在本文章中，它指記憶力強(qiáng)，答案C是“記東西更好”，符合題意.
4. 從本文最后一段最后一句可以看出，“你傷心、疲勞、健忘、不高興，可能是天氣的原因”所以本題D項“天氣對人的情感沒有影響”是不真實的
