Answer 1

答案：1．A;2．C;3．A;4．D;5．B;
解析：

(1)	根據文章第二自然段的描述可知，冷濕天氣對人的健康是有害的．
(2)	第三段的首句“The weather can also influence intelligence”說的就是這個意思．
(3)	本題屬表層理解題．答案就在“Low air pressure may make people forgetful．”中．
(4)	由“People feel best at a temperature of about 18 centigrade．”一句可知．
(5)	根據文章最后的“Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem．”這一句，我們可以推測出作者的寫作意圖。 　　這篇短文告訴我們的是：天氣的冷熱干濕對人體健康有很大的影響．比如心臟病高發區所在地往往是嚴寒或酷熱．大風或炎熱天氣里，人的智商會降低．瘦人怕冷天，而炎炎夏日對胖人又不利．此外，低氣壓還能導致健忘．
