Since last year, Where Are We Going, Dad? has become the most popular TV shows. On the show, the five fathers and their children traveled around China, riding camels through the western deserts, fishing on the east coast, and selling vegetables for their bus fare(费用) home in southwestern Yunnan province.

Different weather makes people feel different．It influences health，intelligence 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 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 summer．At about 18℃ people become stronger．
Low 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℃．
Are you feeling sad，tired，forgetful，or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem．

2．你对这些问题的看法；
3．你与父母保持良好关系的做法。
【答案与解析】
Ⅰ. 单项选择。
1. A。本题主要考查“spend…doing与take… to do”的区别。“spend…doing与take… to do”都表示花时间做某事，spend的主语是人，后接时间、金钱与V-ing或介词on连用，take的主语是事物，后接时间与动词不定式连用。综合分析句子结构和各选项，得出答案A。
2. B。在连系动词be的后面用形容词作表语，从后面的句子情景可以理解是用形容词unfair表示“不公平”的意思。
3. B。本句子是考查动词短语make somebody do something的用法，用动词不定式作make的宾语补足语时，动词不定式要省略to。
4.Ａ。本句子考查动词短语leave for的用法，从时间状语可以判断是一般将来时，这里用be leaving表示将来的意义。
5.B。本句子是用考查keep sb. doing something，意为“要某人一直做某事”，表示动作的延续。
6. A。本题考查连系动词的用法。句意为“这道菜看起来好，尝起来糟糕”。taste 意为“尝起来”，smell意为“闻起来”，look意为“看起来”，sound意为“听起来”。
7.D。What’s wrong with sb.? 用于询问“某人怎么了”。故答案为D。
8.C。第一空表示“独自居住”，要用alone来修饰lived；第二空表示“觉得寂寞”，要用feel lonely。
9.D。结合答语中的“我喜欢黑色”可知，否定了红色和粉色两者，故neither符合题意。
10.B。修饰news要用disappointing，修饰they要用disappointed．故答案为B。
11.A。hear sb. do sth. 表示“听到某人经常做某事”。
12.C。句意：——我不喜欢这些可怕的图片。——我也不喜欢。这些可怕的图片使我伤心。由题意首先排除A和B，make后应该用形容词，因此答案为C。
13.C。would rather后跟动词原形，其否定式在would rather后加not。
14.B。此处要用动词不定式短语to listen to，it只是形式宾语，to listen to the lecture在句中是真正的宾语。
15.A。本题考查“the+比较级，the+比较级”的结构。句意为“他学得越多，知识就越渊博”，由此可知答案为A。

3. A。句意：对我们来说，保护自然是很重要的，因为我们要依靠自然界的丰富资源而生存。depend on依靠，依赖；leave for出发去(某地)；give up 放弃；lead to 导致。故选A项。

参考范文：
How to keep good relationship with parents
In my opinion, I have too many rules at home．My parents never allow me to go out with my friends at night．They don’t allow me to choose my own clothes，either．And they pay too much attention to my exam results．I think my parents don’t quite understand me．
However，I try my best to understand them．Although they don’t allow me to make my own decisions and give me too much pressure，I know that it is because they really love me and want me to have a bright future．
In order to keep good relationship with my parents，I study hard，listen to them，talk to them as friends，tell them my troubles，and help them do more housework．
