Question

The weather can influence(影响)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

本文大意:主要说了天气对人的智力和情感的影响。
1. 从第一段第一句“The weather can influence(影响)intelligence(智力).”可以看出天气对智力有影响，所以选D.
2. 从第一段最后一句“Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months”可以看出，学生成绩差是因为天气热的缘故.所以选A.
3. 本题考查学生对stronger的理解，strong本意是强的，强壮的，在本文章中，它指记忆力强，答案C是“记东西更好”，符合题意.
4. 从本文最后一段最后一句可以看出，“你伤心、疲劳、健忘、不高兴，可能是天气的原因”所以本题D项“天气对人的情感没有影响”是不真实的
