三、阅读理解题（共4题，共40分）
（10分） In northern China during spring, big sandstorms often make trouble for people. When the sky is dark with sand, buses and cars all move much more slowly. Sometimes, people can't even see for 20 meters.
Sandstorms usually happen in spring. Most of the sand comes from the north of China. In northern China, lots of places have few trees and don't get much rain. People there have been cutting down too many trees. When there aren’t many trees, the ground can't keep enough water. Over the years, the ground dries up and turns to sand. When spring comes and the ice melts (融化) , the ground becomes looser (更松散的) . Strong winds take the loose sand into the sky.
Sandstorms are bad for people's health. If people take in too much sand, they could cough or have asthma (哮喘) .
Sandstorms also give farmers lots of problems. Sometimes their sheep get lost in the storms and never get back home. The winds also tear down farmers' houses.
What can you do to stop sandstorms Here's an idea: Ask your parents to help you plant some trees this spring.
If you see people cutting down too many trees, tell them about the dangers of sandstorms, and ask your government to stop them from cutting.
(1) In which season do sandstorms usually happen
A．In spring. B． n summer. C．In autumn. D．In winter.
(2) Which of the following provinces in China is probably often hit by sandstorms
A．Fujian Province. B．Yunnan Province.
C．Sichuan Province. D．Hebei Province.
(3) The phrase (词组) “tear down" means “ _____ ” in Chinese.
A．使……哭泣 B．弄倒 C．摧残 D．加固
(4) According to the passage, sandstorms cannot cause ______ .
A．health problems B．traffic problems
C．the loss (失去) of farm animals D．noise pollution
(5) Which of the following is not a way to stop sandstorms
A．Plant more trees in spring.
B．Don't stay outside when sandstorms happen.
C．Stop people from cutting down too many trees.
D．Tell people about the dangers of sandstorms.
（10分） Do you want to know something about the history of weather Don't look at the sky. don't look for old weather reports. Looking at the tree rings is more important. Some weather reports go back only one century, but some trees can show us an exact record (记录) of the weather even further back.
It is clear that a tree would grow best in a climate (气候) with lots of sunlight and rainfall. It is also expected that little sunlight or rainfall would limit (限制) the growth of a tree. The change from a favorable (有利的) to an unfavorable climate can be seen by reading the tree rings in a tree trunk (树干). To find out the weather of ten years ago, count the rings of a tree trunk from the outside to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the other rings, then we are sure that lots of sunny and rainy weather happened. If the rings are close together, then the climate was bad for the tree.
Studying tree rings is important not only for the history of weather, but also for the history of man. In a place of New Mexico you can find only sand—no trees and no people. However, many centuries ago a lot of people lived there. They left suddenly. Why
A scientist studied the dead tree rings which had grown there. He decided that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees. Trees were used to make fires and buildings. So, after the people cut down the trees, they had to move.
(1) It is understood that in a favorable climate _____.
A．tree rings grow close together
B．people can cut down most of the trees in New Mexico
C．tree rings grow far from each other
D．trees in New Mexico will grow big and tall
(2) Why did people usually live in the place where there were lots of trees
A．Trees could record the change of the weather.
B．Trees brought lots of sunlight and rainfall.
C．Trees were used for burning and building houses.
D．Trees gave them fruit and food.
(3) The scientists are interested in studying tree rings because they can tell _____.
A．whether in that place the climate was favorable or not
B．whether a tree was healthy or not
C．whether people took good care of the trees or not
D．how old the trees were
(4) Studying dead tree rings shows _____.
A．where the people had to go B．what the people had to eat
C．how the people left D．why the people had to leave
(5) The people had to leave the place of New Mexico because _____.
A．they had cut down all the trees
B．there were many trees there
C．there had no water
D．bad weather stopped the growth of trees
（10分） Different weather makes people feel different. It influences 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 scientific report, 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% 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).
The weather also has a strong influence on people's feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel the cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during the cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer.
Low air pressure (气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. There is a "good weather" for health. People feel best at a temperature of about 18°C. At about 18°C, people become stronger.
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today It may be the weather's problem.
(1) What kind of weather may have a bad effect (影响) on health
