国家公共英语二级（阅读理解）练习试卷31 (题后含答案及解析) 题型有： 3. 阅读理解 阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B 、C 和D) 中选出最 佳选项。 Of all the sciences, only two are subjects that have a direct (直接的) and noticeable effect on our lives every day. One is meteorology, the study of weather. Heat, cold, sun and rain affect us in many ways—in the kind of clothing we wear, for example, and the types of activities we do outdoors. Economics is the other science that affects the everyday lives of all of us. Each time we spend money, or it is spent on us, we are contributing (贡献) the economic life of our country and, in fact, of the world. Most people have a basic understanding of the weather, but how many people feel comfortable with the subject of economics? Often, economics seems to be a mysterious (神秘的) subject. Newspapers and television use terminology (术语学) that can resemble (像；类似) a foreign language.

A ．the weather affects people ’s outdoor activities B ．the study of weather is a branch
