解析：
【分析】先通读短文理解天气报告的语境，再结合固定搭配、词性转换、语法规则及上下文对应关系逐一填空：第1题考查固定搭配；第2题需对应后文的“dry”找反义词；第3题是固定短语；第4题需用形容词修饰湖泊；第5题需转换词性形容天气；第6题考查被动语态；第7题是名词复数；第8题结合语境选合适动词。
【解析】1. 固定搭配divide...into...表示“把……分成……”，故填into；2. 后文提到“dry part（干旱地区）”，对应多雨的“潮湿地区”，故填wet；3. 固定短语take care of意为“照顾”，故填care；4. 此处需形容词修饰lakes，freeze的形容词frozen表示“结冰的”，故填frozen；5. 此处需形容词形容天气，awe的形容词awful表示“糟糕的”，故填awful；6. 主语reason与connect是被动关系，一般现在时，故填is connected；7. “度”是degree，前面有two，用复数形式degrees，故填degrees；8. 结合语境“寒冷不会在短期……”，end表示“结束”，故填end。
