It’s the first solar term after spring and also the seventh solar term of the twenty-four ones. By the Beginning of Summer, everything begins to grow fast. The Beginning of Summer means farewell to spring, and the entering into summer. So it is also called “the end of spring”. In ancient China, people divided the Beginning of Summer into three periods. The first period: the frogs begin to sing. In early summer, frogs begin to sing and look for food in the fields and ponds. With the voice of the frogs, the taste of summer is strong. The second period: the earthworms come out. As the temperature in the ground continues to rise, earthworms climb from the underground to the surface to breathe fresh air. The third period: the budding of the cucumber blossom. On this day, most areas of China have the custom of eating eggs, including boiled eggs and tea eggs. Eating eggs on the Beginning of Summer is to hope that the year will be full. And people also hope to get peace in the summer. In addition to eating eggs on the Beginning of Summer, they will also “hang eggs”. Egg hanging is a bag made of colorful bags or wool, put boiled eggs in it and hang them on children’s chest. As an old Chinese saying goes, “Hanging an egg on children’s chest can prevent them from getting summer diseases.” It means health and safety, good luck, and everything is smooth. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the Beginning of Summer is a key period for the heart. High temperatures in summer are easy to cause mood problems, and diet therapy can play an important role. So people also eat a special kind of rice which is also called “colorful rice”. There are red beans, green beans, black beans, green beans and soybeans in the colorful rice. The ancients cooked the colorful rice to balance the five elements, which means producing good harvests and good health. When the weather grows hotter, high temperatures can affect humans’ health. Food rich in vitamins in nature is highly recommended. Vegetables, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, watercress and celery and fruits that include watermelons, pears and strawberries are top recommendations. 1．Which expression below has the similar meaning to the underlined words “farewell to”?

On Tuesday, Sam’s father lost his job. Then on Wednesday, Sam’s mother announced that the rent (房租) on their apartment was going up. Now it was Friday, and Sam received an invitation from Rosa to her birthday party. Sam knew Rosa from Adventure Club. He knew he would enjoy Rosa’s party, but he didn’t want to go without a gift. What could he possibly buy her with the little bit of money he had? Sam knew he couldn’t ask Mom or Dad for any money—not this week! Later that afternoon, Sam noticed a second-hand book sale going on. He went there and had a quick look. Two books caught his eye. The first was a cookbook of Puerto Rican foods, and the second was a book about woman explorers. “Rosa would like these,” Sam thought, “but would it be tacky (蹩脚的) to give her second-hand books for her birthday?” Sam decided that a second-hand gift was better than no gift at all. Besides, Rosa supported recycling in that way. So, she would probably like it. With his last dollar, Sam bought the books and went home. He felt a little better. The party was on Saturday. Rosa opened all her gifts and thanked everyone for the nice things they had given her. She paused when she opened Sam’s gift, which made him wonder if she liked the books, but nothing was said. When Sam got home, he opened his e-mail and found this note from Rosa.Dear Sam, Of all the gifts I received today, yours was the nicest. How did you know I would love a book about woman explorers and a cookbook of Puerto Rican foods? Now I have something to read that will inspire me to follow my dream of becoming an adventurer, and I have a book that I can share with my grandmother. She is getting older and wants to be sure her granddaughter knows how to make the wonderful foods of Puerto Rico. Thank you so much. Love, Rosa The week turned out to be a good one after all. 5．Sam bought second-hand books as gifts for Rosa because ________.

But Pi (“π”) Day, celebrated every year in the US on March 14, is an exception. That’s because the celebrations may start with math activities centering around Pi, widely known as 3.14. But they always end with a piece or two of delicious pies! The first Pi Day celebration was organized by Larry Shaw from San Francisco’s Exploratorium Museum. On March 14, 1988, he asked co-workers to join him in eating fruit pies. They had such a good time that museum officials turned Pi Day into a celebration to be held each year. Visitors took part in special activities and ate free delicious pies. As the news of the fun event spread, schools, libraries, and universities around the US also began to celebrate Pi Day. In 2009, the US made March 14 as the National Pi Day. Today, Pi Day is celebrated in many creative ways. Every March 14 and March 15, women television forecasters (天气预报员) around the country dress in purple. The activity, known as “Dress for STEM” began seven years ago after a photo of hundreds of forecasters wearing the same dress, though in different colors, became famous on social media. The weather scientists decided to repeat the fun activity every year to encourage more girls to learn science, technology, engineering and maths. March 14, which also happens to be Albert Einstein’s birthday, holds a special meaning for Princeton, New Jersey. This is where the great scientist spent the last twenty years of his life. The city celebrates the two special occasions (特别的事情) with a number of events, including pie-eating, pi-recitation, and Einstein look-alike contests. 8．Who made efforts for something about Pi?

That’s only partly right. Pi Day is actually about maths! Every year on March 14th, maths lovers and scientists celebrate Pi Day to honor the special number π (3.1415926…). Pi Day is a young international festival. It was founded in 1988 by Larry Shaw. He worked at the Exploratorium, a museum of science and technology. He linked (联系) March 14th with π and celebrated his very first Pi Day with a pie party. Later, the celebration became a yearly tradition at the museum and more visitors joined in. In November 2019, Pi Day was designated (指定) as the International Day of Mathematics by UNESCO, an international organization. There are many kinds of celebrations of Pi Day. Some people choose to memorize as many digits (数字) as they can, while some take part in a Pi parade, enjoying delicious pies and dancing to music. Besides, people use a writing style called Pilish to celebrate Pi Day. In a Pilish sentence, the number of letters in each word matches the digit of π. The first word has three letters, the second has one letter, the third has four letters, and so on. An engineer, Michael Keith, even wrote a book called Not a Wake by using Pilish. Pi Day is a day of discovery and joy, reminding us of the importance and beauty of mathematics in our lives. Let’s celebrate the mathematical wonder of π! 12．Pi Day is a day to ________.

My brother John always dreamed of hitting it big and becoming rich overnight. Every week, he’d buy lottery (彩票) tickets, hoping for a bit of luck. But luck never seemed to be on his side. Feeling sad, he’d tear up the tickets and put them into his pocket. As April Fool’s Day got closer, I couldn’t wait to play a trick on him. I went to a store and got some fake (假的) lottery tickets. On the morning of April 1, while John was glued to the TV, waiting for the lottery results, I carefully cutout some numbers from the fake tickets to match the winning ones. Then, I quietly placed the ticket pieces into his jacket pocket. But John didn’t check his tickets right away. “It’s Sunday, and he’s got a lot of time,” I thought to myself.

It’s a wooden cabin (小屋) on the side of a hill, deep in the forest, above a small, grassy field. For me, that cabin meant Thanksgiving. Our first greeting was the excited barking of Grandma’s dog, Jesse. He met us at our car and jumped up at us as we carried our bags into the house. Inside were my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Aunt Sue touched my face and told me gently, “I can’t believe how big you has gotten in just a few months”. Grandpa gave me a strong handshake and shouted, “What do you say, Cal?!” which is old man’s English for “Hello, Calvin!” The next day, by the time I woke up, Grandma and Mom had already begun cooking. Throughout the day we all helped out. The cabin was small, so we had to creatively move the furniture (家具) to make room for everyone to sit at the long table together. Dinner was finally served at about 4 o’clock in the afternoon. Before we started the meal, Grandma asked each person to say at least one thing that he or she was thankful for. I said, “I’m thankful for my parents, my grandma and the turkey!” I was too hungry to think of anything better. Once everyone was finished speaking, we dug in. It was all delicious food. Even better were the homemade apple and pumpkin pies. After dinner, we took a long walk through the woods around the cabin. Under the late-autumn stars, we made a campfire in the field and told stories.

Now the rice is only cooked with glutinous rice and broad beans, but the sweet taste and people’s good wishes for a good harvest in it keep unchanged. The Egg Competition As an old Chinese saying goes, “Hanging an egg on children’s chest can prevent them from getting summer diseases.” Parents prepare boiled eggs and put them in a bag before hanging them on their child’s chest on that day. When children get together, they will play a game called “the egg competition”, colliding (碰撞) each other’s eggs in pairs, and the child with the last intact (完好无损的)egg is the winner, called “king of eggs”! Weighing There is a custom of weighing people’s weight on the Beginning of Summer in many areas of China. Because the hot summer will start, people are more likely to lose weight, which is a bad thing they think. Therefore, people usually weigh themselves to see the health of their bodies.

It was started because there was a Mother’s Day, and just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother’s Day, we should also have a Father’s Day. Father’s Day has become important in North America. And shopkeepers (店主) found it was a good way to get people to buy presents for their fathers from their shops. By the way, very few countries have a Father’s Day, though some have Children’s Day, or a special day for boys and another for girls. More and more countries are having Mother’s Day, so maybe Father’s Day will also become popular. Now, what do people in North America do on Father’s Day? The newspapers, radios, and TV tell children what they should do-buy a Father’s Day present for your father. They even tell a wife to buy a Father’s Day present-not for her father but for her husband, even if he is not a father yet. And they tell grandchildren to buy a Father’s Day present for their grandfathers.

It’s the first solar term after spring and also the seventh solar term of the twenty-four ones. By the Beginning of Summer, everything begins to grow fast. The Beginning of Summer means farewell to spring, and the entering into summer. So it is also called “the end of spring”. In ancient China, people divided the Beginning of Summer into three periods. The first period: the frogs begin to sing. In early summer, frogs begin to sing and look for food in the fields and ponds. With the voice of the frogs, the taste of summer is strong. The second period: the earthworms come out. As the temperature in the ground continues to rise, earthworms climb from the underground to the surface to breathe fresh air. The third period: the budding of the cucumber blossom. On this day, most areas of China have the custom of eating eggs, including boiled eggs and tea eggs. Eating eggs on the Beginning of Summer is to hope that the year will be full. And people also hope to get peace in the summer. In addition to eating eggs on the Beginning of Summer, they will also “hang eggs”. Egg hanging is a bag made of colorful bags or wool, put boiled eggs in it and hang them on children’s chest. As an old Chinese saying goes, “Hanging an egg on children’s chest can prevent them from getting summer diseases.” It means health and safety, good luck, and everything is smooth. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the Beginning of Summer is a key period for the heart. High temperatures in summer are easy to cause mood problems, and diet therapy can play an important role. So people also eat a special kind of rice which is also called “colorful rice”. There are red beans, green beans, black beans, green beans and soybeans in the colorful rice. The ancients cooked the colorful rice to balance the five elements, which means producing good harvests and good health. When the weather grows hotter, high temperatures can affect humans’ health. Food rich in vitamins in nature is highly recommended. Vegetables, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, watercress and celery and fruits that include watermelons, pears and strawberries are top recommendations. 1．Which expression below has the similar meaning to the underlined words “farewell to”?

On Tuesday, Sam’s father lost his job. Then on Wednesday, Sam’s mother announced that the rent (房租) on their apartment was going up. Now it was Friday, and Sam received an invitation from Rosa to her birthday party. Sam knew Rosa from Adventure Club. He knew he would enjoy Rosa’s party, but he didn’t want to go without a gift. What could he possibly buy her with the little bit of money he had? Sam knew he couldn’t ask Mom or Dad for any money—not this week! Later that afternoon, Sam noticed a second-hand book sale going on. He went there and had a quick look. Two books caught his eye. The first was a cookbook of Puerto Rican foods, and the second was a book about woman explorers. “Rosa would like these,” Sam thought, “but would it be tacky (蹩脚的) to give her second-hand books for her birthday?” Sam decided that a second-hand gift was better than no gift at all. Besides, Rosa supported recycling in that way. So, she would probably like it. With his last dollar, Sam bought the books and went home. He felt a little better. The party was on Saturday. Rosa opened all her gifts and thanked everyone for the nice things they had given her. She paused when she opened Sam’s gift, which made him wonder if she liked the books, but nothing was said. When Sam got home, he opened his e-mail and found this note from Rosa.Dear Sam, Of all the gifts I received today, yours was the nicest. How did you know I would love a book about woman explorers and a cookbook of Puerto Rican foods? Now I have something to read that will inspire me to follow my dream of becoming an adventurer, and I have a book that I can share with my grandmother. She is getting older and wants to be sure her granddaughter knows how to make the wonderful foods of Puerto Rico. Thank you so much. Love, Rosa The week turned out to be a good one after all. 5．Sam bought second-hand books as gifts for Rosa because ________.

But Pi (“π”) Day, celebrated every year in the US on March 14, is an exception. That’s because the celebrations may start with math activities centering around Pi, widely known as 3.14. But they always end with a piece or two of delicious pies! The first Pi Day celebration was organized by Larry Shaw from San Francisco’s Exploratorium Museum. On March 14, 1988, he asked co-workers to join him in eating fruit pies. They had such a good time that museum officials turned Pi Day into a celebration to be held each year. Visitors took part in special activities and ate free delicious pies. As the news of the fun event spread, schools, libraries, and universities around the US also began to celebrate Pi Day. In 2009, the US made March 14 as the National Pi Day. Today, Pi Day is celebrated in many creative ways. Every March 14 and March 15, women television forecasters (天气预报员) around the country dress in purple. The activity, known as “Dress for STEM” began seven years ago after a photo of hundreds of forecasters wearing the same dress, though in different colors, became famous on social media. The weather scientists decided to repeat the fun activity every year to encourage more girls to learn science, technology, engineering and maths. March 14, which also happens to be Albert Einstein’s birthday, holds a special meaning for Princeton, New Jersey. This is where the great scientist spent the last twenty years of his life. The city celebrates the two special occasions (特别的事情) with a number of events, including pie-eating, pi-recitation, and Einstein look-alike contests. 8．Who made efforts for something about Pi? A．Zhao Kuangyin. B．Zu Chongzhi. C．Li Siguang. 9．What kind of food do people always eat on Pi Day? A． B． C． 10．Why did the weather scientists repeat the “Dress for STEM”?

B．Albert Einstein’s birthday is on Mach 15. C．People in Princeton show great respect to Albert Einstein. 4 （2024·辽宁丹东·一模）Have you ever heard of Pi Day? You may think it is all about having pies. That’s only partly right. Pi Day is actually about maths! Every year on March 14th, maths lovers and scientists celebrate Pi Day to honor the special number π (3.1415926…). Pi Day is a young international festival. It was founded in 1988 by Larry Shaw. He worked at the Exploratorium, a museum of science and technology. He linked (联系) March 14th with π and celebrated his very first Pi Day with a pie party. Later, the celebration became a yearly tradition at the museum and more visitors joined in. In November 2019, Pi Day was designated (指定) as the International Day of Mathematics by UNESCO, an international organization. There are many kinds of celebrations of Pi Day. Some people choose to memorize as many digits (数字) as they can, while some take part in a Pi parade, enjoying delicious pies and dancing to music. Besides, people use a writing style called Pilish to celebrate Pi Day. In a Pilish sentence, the number of letters in each word matches the digit of π. The first word has three letters, the second has one letter, the third has four letters, and so on. An engineer, Michael Keith, even wrote a book called Not a Wake by using Pilish. Pi Day is a day of discovery and joy, reminding us of the importance and beauty of mathematics in our lives. Let’s celebrate the mathematical wonder of π! 12．Pi Day is a day to ________.

My brother John always dreamed of hitting it big and becoming rich overnight. Every week, he’d buy lottery (彩票) tickets, hoping for a bit of luck. But luck never seemed to be on his side. Feeling sad, he’d tear up the tickets and put them into his pocket. As April Fool’s Day got closer, I couldn’t wait to play a trick on him. I went to a store and got some fake (假的) lottery tickets. On the morning of April 1, while John was glued to the TV, waiting for the lottery results, I carefully cutout some numbers from the fake tickets to match the winning ones.

It’s a wooden cabin (小屋) on the side of a hill, deep in the forest, above a small, grassy field. For me, that cabin meant Thanksgiving. Our first greeting was the excited barking of Grandma’s dog, Jesse. He met us at our car and jumped up at us as we carried our bags into the house. Inside were my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Aunt Sue touched my face and told me gently, “I can’t believe how big you has gotten in just a few months”. Grandpa gave me a strong handshake and shouted, “What do you say, Cal?!” which is old man’s English for “Hello, Calvin!” The next day, by the time I woke up, Grandma and Mom had already begun cooking. Throughout the day we all helped out. The cabin was small, so we had to creatively move the furniture (家具) to make room for everyone to sit at the long table together. Dinner was finally served at about 4 o’clock in the afternoon. Before we started the meal, Grandma asked each person to say at least one thing that he or she was thankful for. I said, “I’m thankful for my parents, my grandma and the turkey!” I was too hungry to think of anything better. Once everyone was finished speaking, we dug in. It was all delicious food. Even better were the homemade apple and pumpkin pies. After dinner, we took a long walk through the woods around the cabin. Under the late-autumn stars, we made a campfire in the field and told stories.

As for the date of the Beginning of Summer, it is different, maybe on May 6th or 7th each year according to the movement of the sun. Here is what people do on that day. Eating the Beginning of Summer Rice The rice for this day used to be made with many kinds of colorful beans, which means “a bumper grain harvest”. Now the rice is only cooked with glutinous rice and broad beans, but the sweet taste and people’s good wishes for a good harvest in it keep unchanged. The Egg Competition As an old Chinese saying goes, “Hanging an egg on children’s chest can prevent them from getting summer diseases.” Parents prepare boiled eggs and put them in a bag before hanging them on their child’s chest on that day. When children get together, they will play a game called “the egg competition”, colliding (碰撞) each other’s eggs in pairs, and the child with the last intact (完好无损的)egg is the winner, called “king of eggs”! Weighing There is a custom of weighing people’s weight on the Beginning of Summer in many areas of China. Because the hot summer will start, people are more likely to lose weight, which is a bad thing they think. Therefore, people usually weigh themselves to see the health of their bodies. In ancient China, people would hang a big wooden scale (称) at the entrance of the village so that kids could be weighed one by one. 45．The date of the Beginning of Summer is different because of .

It was started because there was a Mother’s Day, and just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother’s Day, we should also have a Father’s Day. Father’s Day has become important in North America. And shopkeepers (店主) found it was a good way to get people to buy presents for their fathers from their shops. By the way, very few countries have a Father’s Day, though some have Children’s Day, or a special day for boys and another for girls. More and more countries are having Mother’s Day, so maybe Father’s Day will also become popular. Now, what do people in North America do on Father’s Day? The newspapers, radios, and TV tell children what they should do-buy a Father’s Day present for your father. They even tell a wife to buy a Father’s Day present-not for her father but for her husband, even if he is not a father yet. And they tell grandchildren to buy a Father’s Day present for their grandfathers. The most important thing to remember about Father’s Day is that American children can show their love to their fathers in a more open way. 49．Father’s Day was started just because ________.
