Question

【題目】Weather has a strong effect（影響） on people．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 problem 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 will have heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March．

The weather can also influence intelligence．For example，in a 1983study by scientists，the IQ scores （智商分數）of some college students were very high during a storm，but after the storm，their scores were low．Storms can increase intelligence．Very hot weather，on the other hand，can lower it．Students in many schools of the United States often do badly on exams in the hot months of the year（July and August）．

Weather also has a strong effect on people's feeling．Winter may be a bad time for thin people．They usually feel cold during these months．They might feel depressed（沮喪的） during cold weather．In hot summer weather，on the other hand，fat people may feel unhappy．At about 65F，people become stronger．

Low air pressure（氣壓） makes people feel free，but it also increases forgetfulness．People leave more bags and umbrellas on buses and stores on low pressure days．There is a"perfect weather"for work and health．People feel best at a temperature of about 64F with 65percent humidity（濕度）．

用細節(jié)定位法來做細節(jié)理解題。

細節(jié)理解題屬直接解答性問題，是閱讀理解題中最簡單的一種，多數屬中低難度的送分題。但由于中考所占的比例很大，應特別引起注意。

事實和細節(jié)題的命題特點是：把某詞語、某個句子或某具體事實用不同于原文的另一方式或句型表達，即同義改寫。解答這類題的竅門是：A)注意掌握英語的多種表達法；B）正確分析詞語在句中的作用；C）熟練運用英語的句型轉換；D）讀懂題干所提出的問題，并準確地找到文中涉及該問題的句子。

做細節(jié)題具體方法與步驟如下：

略讀材料,大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨。

按文章的體裁，作者寫作的組織模式及有關的信息詞，如for example，first，second…等預測應該到何處尋找自己所需要的事實。

③ 將自己精力放在尋找你所需要的細節(jié)上，快速通篇跳讀，眼睛自左至右，自上而下呈Z形掃視，直到找到細節(jié)出處，待找到含細節(jié)句子時，放慢速度，仔細核對比較內容，直至找到答案。
