Here are four things to learn about it. Greeting Start of Summer The term Start of Summer originated at the end of the Warring States Period. Since it is a crucial time for the harvest of summer crops, ancient Chinese emperors in different dynasties attached great importance to the Start of Summer. Checking One’s Weight The custom of weighing people at the Start of Summer originated from the Three Kingdoms Period and prevails in South China today. It was believed this practice would bring health and good luck to the people weighed. It is said those who were weighed would stay healthy in the hot summer and those who weren’t would suffer illness. Eating Eggs In ancient China, people believed a round egg symbolized a happy life and eating eggs on the day of Start of Summer was a prayer for good health. They put leftover tea into boiled water together with eggs. Later people improved cooking methods and added spices to the eggs to make them taste delicious. Today tea egg has become a traditional snack in China. Taking Care of the Heart According to Chinese traditional medicine, Start of Summer is a key time to moisten the heart. When the weather grows hotter, dampness and heat can affect human health. Food rich in vitamins and cool in nature is highly recommended. Vegetables, such as cucumber, tomato, and watercress and fruits like watermelon, pear and strawberry are top recommendations. 10．What do the customs of Checking One’s Weight and Eating Eggs have in common?

Black Samphire, a film packed with the realities of environmental degradation, takes a deep dive into the terrifying water pollution. Its premiere (首映) location, miles away from the natural settings, emphasizes the universal impact of this issue. Set against the background of West Sussex’s scenic yet troubled waters, the film introduces audiences to a modern-day monster (怪物) far more threatening than fiction: the serious reality of Britain’s water pollution. Co-founders Cathy Wippell and Joseph Archer designs a story that transforms abstract environmental threats into a visible horror of pollution. A keen open-water swimmer, Wippell — who is both the co-star and author of the film — was inspired to write the film after stretches of water she was once able to swim in in her home county were closed off due to rising water pollution level. She highlights the dangers beneath the surface of Britain’s rivers. The urgency of the message could not be clearer. Beyond its storyline, Black Samphire includes sustainability in its production. From beach clean-ups to a powerful green policy, every aspect of the film was tailored to minimize environmental impact. The commitment extended to dietary choices, with over 160 home-baked flapjacks replacing the usual plastic-wrapped snacks, and a practice of reusing and recycling props (道具) and set pieces. Despite its brief runtime, the film deeply addresses the pressing issue of pollution in British waters, a crisis underscored by Environment Agency data. In partnership with River Action UK, Black Samphire seeks to take action among policymakers, industries, and the public. Black Samphire is more than just a film; it’s a fighting cry for environmental settlement and a reminder of the horrors we face if we continue to ignore the trouble of our planet’s lifeblood. It challenges us to look beyond the surface and face the monster we’ve created. 13．What is Black Samphire mainly about? A．A warning of water pollution. B．The beauty of West Sussex. C．Environmental protection measures. D．Environmental threats to the city life. 14．What inspired Wippell to write the story? A．Her personal experience. B．Her partner’s encouragement. C．The economy in her hometown. D．The joy of swimming in rivers. 15．What is the priority in the film production? A．Dietary choice. B．Film props. C．Committed actors. D．Environmental protection. 16．Where does the text probably come from? A．A hit novel. B．A film review. C．An environmental report. D．A movie advertisement. 6.（23-24高二下·云南保山·期末）4 Books in 2024 A medical worker is learning about the tough times in her job’s past.

It signals the transition of seasons. Here are four things to learn about it. Greeting Start of Summer The term Start of Summer originated at the end of the Warring States Period. Since it is a crucial time for the harvest of summer crops, ancient Chinese emperors in different dynasties attached great importance to the Start of Summer. Checking One’s Weight The custom of weighing people at the Start of Summer originated from the Three Kingdoms Period and prevails in South China today. It was believed this practice would bring health and good luck to the people weighed. It is said those who were weighed would stay healthy in the hot summer and those who weren’t would suffer illness. Eating Eggs In ancient China, people believed a round egg symbolized a happy life and eating eggs on the day of Start of Summer was a prayer for good health. They put leftover tea into boiled water together with eggs. Later people improved cooking methods and added spices to the eggs to make them taste delicious. Today tea egg has become a traditional snack in China. Taking Care of the Heart According to Chinese traditional medicine, Start of Summer is a key time to moisten the heart. When the weather grows hotter, dampness and heat can affect human health. Food rich in vitamins and cool in nature is highly recommended. Vegetables, such as cucumber, tomato, and watercress and fruits like watermelon, pear and strawberry are top recommendations. 10．What do the customs of Checking One’s Weight and Eating Eggs have in common? A．They are related to losing weight. B．They are believed to bring good health to people. C．They originated around the Three Kingdoms Period. D．They are about eating food. 11．What do we know about the customs of Taking Care of the Heart? A．Cold food is used as Chinese traditional medicine. B．Food rich in protein is highly recommended. C．The hotter the weather is, the healthier one becomes. D．The heart needs vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins in summer. 12．In which column may you find this passage? A．Entertainment. B．Culture. C．Travelling. D．Medicine. 【答案】10．B 11．D 12．B 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍立夏需要了解的四件事情。 10．细节理解题。由Checking One’s Weight中“It was believed this practice would bring health and good luck to the people weighed. (们相信这种做法会给被称体重的人带来健康和好运。)”以及Eating Eggs中“In ancient China, people believed a round egg symbolized a happy life and eating eggs on the day of Start of Summer was a prayer for good health. They put leftover tea into boiled water together with eggs. (在中国古代，人们认为圆鸡蛋象征着幸福的生活，立夏这天吃鸡蛋是为了祈求身体健康。)”可知，这两件事都被认为能给人们带来健康。故选B项。 11．细节理解题。由Taking Care of the Heart中“According to Chinese traditional medicine, Start of Summer is a key time to moisten the heart. When the weather grows hotter, dampness and heat can affect human health. Food rich in vitamins and cool in nature is highly recommended. Vegetables, such as cucumber, tomato, and watercress and fruits like watermelon, pear and strawberry are top recommendations.(根据中国传统医学的说法，立夏是滋润心灵的关键时刻。当天气越来越热时，湿热会影响人体健康。强烈推荐富含维生素且性凉的食物。蔬菜，如黄瓜、番茄、豆瓣菜和水果，如西瓜、梨和草莓，是首选。)”可知，夏天，心脏需要富含维生素的蔬菜和水果。故选D项。 12．推理判断题。由文章第一段“Start of Summer, the 7th term of the year, begins on May 6 and ends on May 20 this year. It signals the transition of seasons. Here are four things to learn about it.(立夏是一年中的第七个节气，从今年5月6日开始，到5月20日结束。它标志着季节的转变。这里有四件事需要了解。)”以及后文可知，文章主要介绍立夏需要了解的四件事情。所以这篇文章可能出现在“文化”板块。故选B项。 5.（23-24高二下·湖南张家界·期末）In the heart of Brixton, at the Ritzy cinema, a new kind of horror film was shown just before World Water Day. Black Samphire, a film packed with the realities of environmental degradation, takes a deep dive into the terrifying water pollution. Its premiere (首映) location, miles away from the natural settings, emphasizes the universal impact of this issue. Set against the background of West Sussex’s scenic yet troubled waters, the film introduces audiences to a modern-day monster (怪物) far more threatening than fiction: the serious reality of Britain’s water pollution. Co-founders Cathy Wippell and Joseph Archer designs a story that transforms abstract environmental threats into a visible horror of pollution. A keen open-water swimmer, Wippell — who is both the co-star and author of the film — was inspired to write the film after stretches of water she was once able to swim in in her home county were closed off due to rising water pollution level. She highlights the dangers beneath the surface of Britain’s rivers. The urgency of the message could not be clearer. Beyond its storyline, Black Samphire includes sustainability in its production. From beach clean-ups to a powerful green policy, every aspect of the film was tailored to minimize environmental impact. The commitment extended to dietary choices, with over 160 home-baked flapjacks replacing the usual plastic-wrapped snacks, and a practice of reusing and recycling props (道具) and set pieces. Despite its brief runtime, the film deeply addresses the pressing issue of pollution in British waters, a crisis underscored by Environment Agency data. In partnership with River Action UK, Black Samphire seeks to take action among policymakers, industries, and the public. Black Samphire is more than just a film; it’s a fighting cry for environmental settlement and a reminder of the horrors we face if we continue to ignore the trouble of our planet’s lifeblood. It challenges us to look beyond the surface and face the monster we’ve created. 13．What is Black Samphire mainly about? A．A warning of water pollution. B．The beauty of West Sussex. C．Environmental protection measures. D．Environmental threats to the city life. 14．What inspired Wippell to write the story? A．Her personal experience. B．Her partner’s encouragement. C．The economy in her hometown. D．The joy of swimming in rivers. 15．What is the priority in the film production? A．Dietary choice. B．Film props. C．Committed actors. D．Environmental protection. 16．Where does the text probably come from? A．A hit novel. B．A film review. C．An environmental report. D．A movie advertisement. 【答案】13．A 14．A 15．D 16．B 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章是一部名为《Black Samphire》的电影的影评，该电影以英国西萨塞克斯风景优美但水质问题严重的背景，通过电影的形式向观众展示了英国水污染的严重现实。 13．细节理解题。根据第一段“Black Samphire, a film packed with the realities of environmental degradation, takes a deep dive into the terrifying water pollution. Its premiere (首映) location, miles away from the natural settings, emphasizes the universal impact of this issue.(《黑色桑菲尔》是一部充满环境恶化现实的电影，深入探讨了可怕的水污染。它的首映地点远离自然环境，强调了这个问题的普遍影响)” 可知，《黑色桑菲尔》的主要内容是水污染警示。故选A。 14．细节理解题。根据第三段“A keen open-water swimmer, Wippell — who is both the co-star and author of the film — was inspired to write the film after stretches of water she was once able to swim in in her home county were closed off due to rising water pollution level.(威佩尔是一名热衷于开放水域游泳的人，同时也是这部电影的联合主演和作者。由于水污染水平不断上升，她曾在家乡的一段水域游泳，后来这段水域被封锁了，于是她有了创作这部电影的灵感。)”可知，Wippell的个人经历赋予了Wippell写这个故事的灵感。故选A。 15．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Beyond its storyline, Black Samphire includes sustainability in its production. From beach clean-ups to a powerful green policy, every aspect of the film was tailored to minimize environmental impact. The commitment extended to dietary choices, with over 160 home-baked flapjacks replacing the usual plastic-wrapped snacks, and a practice of reusing and recycling props (道具) and set pieces.(除了故事情节，Black Samphire还将可持续发展纳入其生产中。从海滩清理到强有力的绿色政策，影片的每个方面都是为了尽量减少对环境的影响。这一承诺延伸到了饮食选择上，用160多种自制的烙饼取代了通常的塑料包装零食，并重复使用和回收道具和道具)”可知，电影制作中优先考虑的是环境保护。故选D。 16．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Black Samphire is more than just a film; it’s a fighting cry for environmental settlement and a reminder of the horrors we face if we continue to ignore the trouble of our planet’s lifeblood. It challenges us to look beyond the surface and face the monster we’ve created.(《黑色桑菲尔》不仅仅是一部电影；这是为解决环境问题而战的呼声，也是对我们的提醒，如果我们继续忽视地球命脉的麻烦，我们将面临的恐怖。它挑战我们透过表象去面对我们创造的怪物)”结合文章主要介绍了电影《黑色桑菲尔》的特点以及电影对于环境保护的贡献。由此可知，文章选自一篇影评。故选B。 6.（23-24高二下·云南保山·期末）4 Books in 2024 A medical worker is learning about the tough times in her job’s past.

One day of museum-hopping can take you from a former palace housing one of the world's most significant artworks to the contemporary art galleries of the MuseumsQuartier. Kunsthistorisches Museum Although the museum is excellent, it is rarely overcrowded with visitors. If you visit at the right time, you can still be alone with Caravaggio. You can have a little dialogue with some of the biggest masterpieces. You can also take part in the museum's mystery hunt-an adult treasure hunt through the Egyptian-Oriental collection. Wien Museum The first generation of the Wien Museum (or Vienna Museum) was an exhibition at Vienna City Hall in the late 19th century. The exhibition stayed there for over 70 years until the main building as it stands today was established in 1959 at Karlsplatz. Since then, the museum has rapidly spread to 22 locations around the city, including a clock museum and the apartments of Beethoven, Mozart and Haydn. Entry to the Wien Museum’s many locations is free for teenagers and children, and for all on the first Sunday of each month. Belvedere Museum The Belvedere Museum is spread across several buildings, including two Baroque summer palaces that were built in the early 18th century. Between them are wide, landscaped gardens where visitors can jog, bike and simply wander. The entire complex is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that also happens to be home to one of the most famous paintings in the world: The Kiss by Gustav Klimt. ZOOM Children's Museum The museum is located in the MuseumsQuartier. ZOOM includes an ocean-themed room for kids to play in, with a water mattress, colourful objects and a tunnel of mirrors; a studio where they can play with art supplies that would create a terrifying mess for their parents at home; and a room where little guests can make animated films and sounds. 29．What do we know about the Kunsthistorisches Museum?
