五、阅读理解（30 分）
阅读短文，选择最佳答案。
Passage 1
Weather is a big part of our daily lives, and it can even affect our moods. A study from a university shows that sunny weather often makes people more active and happy. People are more likely to go outside, exercise, or meet friends on sunny days. This is because sunlight helps our bodies make a chemical called serotonin, which makes us feel good.
On the other hand, rainy or cloudy weather may make some people feel sad or tired. They might prefer to stay indoors, watch TV, or sleep more. But not everyone feels this way. Some people love rainy days—they find the sound of rain relaxing and enjoy reading or drinking hot tea by the window.
Windy weather can bring mixed feelings. Strong winds may make it hard to go outside, but a gentle breeze on a warm day can feel very comfortable. It can even make outdoor activities like flying kites more fun.
Snowy weather is special. Many people feel excited when it snows, especially children. Building snowmen, having snowball fights, or simply walking in fresh snow can bring joy. However, heavy snow can cause problems like traffic jams or power outages.
( ) 1.Why do people feel happy on sunny days according to the study
A. Because they can sleep more.
B. Because sunlight helps make serotonin.
C. Because the sound of sunshine is relaxing.

A. How to stay safe in bad weather.

C. How weather affects people's moods and activities.
Passage 2
Meteorologists are scientists who study the weather. They use special tools to predict what the weather will be like in the future. One important tool is the weather balloon. It carries instruments high into the sky to measure temperature, air pressure, and humidity. These balloons can rise up to 40 kilometers!
Satellites are another key tool. They take photos of clouds, storms, and even ocean temperatures from space. Meteorologists use these photos to track hurricanes or typhoons and see how they are moving. This helps them warn people in advance, so they can prepare.
Radar is also useful. It sends out radio waves that bounce off raindrops or snowflakes. By measuring how long it takes for the waves to return, meteorologists can tell how heavy the rain or snow is and where it is moving.
Even with all these tools, weather prediction isn't always perfect. Weather can change quickly, especially in mountainous areas or near the coast. That's why meteorologists check their data many times a day and update the forecast regularly.
( ) 6. What do meteorologists study
A. Space.
B. The weather.
C. Ocean animals.
( ) 7. What does a weather balloon measure
A. Radio waves.
B. Traffic jams.
C. Temperature and air pressure.
( ) 8. How do satellites help predict the weather
A. They take photos of clouds and storms.
B. They bounce off raindrops.
C. They carry instruments into the sky.
( ) 9. Why isn't weather prediction always perfect
A. Because meteorologists don't use tools.
B. Because weather can change quickly.
C. Because satellites are too slow.
( ) 10. Why do meteorologists update the forecast regularly
A. To cause traffic jams.
B. To make the weather change.
C. Because weather can change quickly.
Passage 3
Different cultures have unique ways of dealing with different weather. In countries with heavy rain, like India during the monsoon season, people have special traditions. They often celebrate the rain with dances and music, as it helps crops grow. Many families also prepare special foods to enjoy while staying indoors during heavy downpours.
In places with cold, snowy winters, such as Norway, people have adapted well. They use special tires on their cars to drive on ice and snow. Children learn to ski at a young age, and skiing becomes a popular family activity. Many homes have fireplaces to stay warm, and people enjoy hot drinks like gl gg, a spiced wine.
In desert areas where it's hot and dry, like parts of Australia, people protect themselves from the strong sun. They wear hats, sunglasses, and light-colored clothes. They also often take breaks during the hottest part of the day and drink plenty of water to stay cool. Some communities even have special water-saving rules to deal with limited rainfall.
In windy regions, such as Scotland, wind energy is widely used. Many wind farms generate electricity, which is both clean and useful. People there are used to windy days and often enjoy outdoor activities like windsurfing when the wind is strong enough.
( ) 11. How do people in India celebrate during the monsoon season
A. They have dances and music.

Weather and Our Plans
Weather has a big influence on our daily plans. On sunny days, we often plan outdoor activities like picnics or hiking. But if it rains, we may have to stay indoors and read books or watch movies instead.
Last weekend, my family planned to visit the zoo, but the weather forecast said it would rain. So we changed our plan to visit the museum, which was also interesting. When there is a storm, we must cancel outdoor plans to stay safe.
In my opinion, weather teaches us to be flexible. Even if plans change because of weather, we can always find fun things to do. It's important to check the weather forecast before making plans.
