It starts from the Beginning of Spring and ends with the Greater Cold, moving in cycles. It is still useful today to guide people’s lives through special foods, cultural ceremonies and even healthy living tips. Grain Buds(小满), the 8th solar term of a year, begins on May 21 this year, and ends on June 4. It means that the seeds (种子) from the grain are becoming full. During the Grain Buds, summer harvest is about to begin. A saying about rain during this time mentions, “A heavy rainfall makes the river full.” Because of the great increase in rainfall, rivers are full of water. This is a good time to enjoy fish. It is also harvest season for fishermen. Frost’s Descent (霜降), the 18th solar term of the year, is the last solar term of autumn, during which time the weather becomes much colder than before and frost begins to appear. The apple is one kind of recommended(推荐的) fruit during Frost’s Descent. There are many saying about apples’ benefits(益处) in China, such as “Eat an apple after meals, even old men can be as strong as young men.” Minor Cold (小寒) is the 23rd one. For most areas of China, it marks the start of the coldest days of the year and people always start preparing for New Year. According to traditional Chinese medicine thoughts, people need to eat food that has more yang energy to prevent cold from harming their bodies. Another important traditional food for Minor Cold is Laba porridge (腊八粥). 1. ________ is the last solar term of a year. A. Minor Cold B. Greater Cold C. Frost’s Descent 2. How many days does Grain Buds last this year? A. Thirteen. B. Fifteen. C. Seventeen. 3. The underlined sentence “Eat an apple after meals, even old men can be as strong as young men.” is closest in meaning to “________”. A. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. B. It’s more useful for old men to eat apples than young men. C. If old men eat apples after meals, they will become younger and younger. 4. In most areas of China, people always ________ during Minor Cold. ①prepare for New year ②have Laba porridge ③say good-bye to the coldest days ④wear warmer clothes A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ 5. We can learn from the passage that ________. A. it is necessary for people to take umbrellas with them during Grain Buds B. Frost’s Descent is the 8th solar term of a year C. people need to eat food that has less yang energy during Minor Cold 【答案】BBACA 【解析】文章介绍了中国二十四节气中的其中三个节气（小满、霜降以及小寒），介绍了不同的节气人代表着人们不同的活动以及饮食与节气的关系。 1. 细节理解题。根据“It starts from the Beginning of Spring and ends with the Greater Cold, moving in cycles.”可知，大寒是一年中最后一个节气，故选B。 2. 细节理解题。根据“Grain Buds(小满), the 8th solar term of a year, begins on May 21 this year, and ends on June 4.”可知，今年的小满从5月21日到6月4日，持续15天，故选B。 3. 句意猜测题。根据“There are many saying about apples’ benefits(益处) in China, such as “Eat an apple after meals, even old men can be as strong as young men.” ”可知，这个时候吃苹果是非常好的，苹果对人们的健康是非常有好处的，与A选项的意思“一天一苹果，医生远离我”接近，故选A。 4. 细节理解题。根据“...people always start preparing for New Year. According to traditional Chinese medicine thoughts, people need to eat food that has more yang energy to prevent cold from harming their bodies. Another important traditional food for Minor Cold is Laba porridge (腊八粥).”可知，小寒的时候，人们开始为新年做准备，吃腊八粥，因为小寒标志着一年中最冷的日子的开始，所以人们会穿更暖和的衣服，故选C。 5. 推理判断题。根据“A saying about rain during this time mentions, “A heavy rainfall makes the river full.” Because of the great increase in rainfall, rivers are full of water.”可知，小满的时候雨水较多，人们有必要随身带着雨伞，故选A。 B Life is like the four seasons. Now I am very old, but when I was young, it was the spring of my life. I was born, I played a lot, and then I started school. I learned many new things. Like a flower, I grew bigger every day. There were delighted days and sad days: some days the sun shone, and some days it didn’t. In my twenties, I had a good job. I was strong and happy. Then I married and had a child. In those days, I didn’t have much time to think. Every day I was busy and worked very hard. And so, I started to get some white hairs. The summer of my life passed quickly. Then the days got shorter. Leaves fell from the trees. My child was a university student, and then an engineer. My home was much quieter. I started walking slowly. One day I stopped working. I had more time. I understood this was my autumn, a beautiful time when the trees changed color and gave us delicious fruits. But the days kept getting shorter and colder. Winter has come, I am older and weaker. I know I do not have many days left. I will enjoy them to the end. 1. The writer played a lot in the ________ of his life. A. spring B. summer C. autumn D. winter 2.

I was born, I played a lot”可知，作者在他生命的春天里经常玩。故选A。 2. 词义猜测题。根据第一段“some days the sun shone, and some days it didn’t”有时阳光灿烂，有时却没有；可知上文指“有快乐的日子，也有悲伤的日子”。故选C。 3. 推理判断题。根据第四段“Winter has come, I am older and weaker. I know I do not have many days left. I will enjoy them to the end”生命的冬天来了，我又老又弱，我会享受到最后；可知，选项C“作者现在又老又弱，但他仍然喜欢他的生活”描述正确。故选C。 4. 最佳标题题。本文作者把生命中童年、青年、壮年和老年比作一年四季，描述自己忙碌快乐的一生；可知，选项D“我生命中的四季”符合文章大意。故选D。 C When your town has winter, the earth’s axis(轴) is pointing away from the sun. Your town doesn’t get as much light or heat from the sun. The days are shorter and colder. Winter and summer happen because the earth is tilted(倾斜) as it revolves around the sun. The northern end of the earth’s axis points towards the sun in summer. You have more hours of light in summer. Your part of the earth is towards the sun for more hours each day. When the part of the earth where you live is towards the sun, you have hotter days. In winter, when your part of the earth points away from the sun, you have colder days. You have learned about winter and summer. There are two more seasons in the year. One comes after winter and before summer. The other season comes after summer and before winter. Can you name them? That’s right. Spring comes between winter and summer and autumn comes after summer but before winter. The four seasons are spring, summer, autumn and winter. Spring and autumn are apposite seasons. Which season do you like best? You have thought about the four seasons of the year. Each season is different. The seasons are made by the northern end of the axis pointing towards or away from the sun. Your part of the world gets more heat from the sun when the northern end of the axis points to the sun. When the axis points away from the sun, you get less heat. Now you know why winter is colder than summer. The axis is pointing away from the sun in winter. It is pointing towards the sun in summer. 1. What does the underlined word “revolves” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Moves. B. Turns. C. Jumps. D. Sites. 2. What is the passage mainly about? A. How four seasons happen. B. How the weather changes. C. When the earth’s axis points towards the sun. D. When the earth’s axis points away from the sun. 3. Where does the passage probably come from? A. A film guide. B. A storybook. C. A science magazine. D. A book review. 【答案】1. A 2. A 3. C 【解析】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍的是四个季节是如何形成的。 1. 词义猜测题。根据“the earth is tilted… around the sun”可知表达地球绕着太阳旋转，“revolve”指的是 “移动”，与“move”同义。故选A。 2. 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“You have thought about the four seasons of the year. Each season is different.

It starts from the Beginning of Spring and ends with the Greater Cold, moving in cycles. It is still useful today to guide people’s lives through special foods, cultural ceremonies and even healthy living tips. Grain Buds(小满), the 8th solar term of a year, begins on May 21 this year, and ends on June 4. It means that the seeds (种子) from the grain are becoming full. During the Grain Buds, summer harvest is about to begin. A saying about rain during this time mentions, “A heavy rainfall makes the river full.” Because of the great increase in rainfall, rivers are full of water. This is a good time to enjoy fish. It is also harvest season for fishermen. Frost’s Descent (霜降), the 18th solar term of the year, is the last solar term of autumn, during which time the weather becomes much colder than before and frost begins to appear. The apple is one kind of recommended(推荐的) fruit during Frost’s Descent. There are many saying about apples’ benefits(益处) in China, such as “Eat an apple after meals, even old men can be as strong as young men.” Minor Cold (小寒) is the 23rd one. For most areas of China, it marks the start of the coldest days of the year and people always start preparing for New Year. According to traditional Chinese medicine thoughts, people need to eat food that has more yang energy to prevent cold from harming their bodies. Another important traditional food for Minor Cold is Laba porridge (腊八粥). 1. ________ is the last solar term of a year. A. Minor Cold B. Greater Cold C. Frost’s Descent 2. How many days does Grain Buds last this year? A. Thirteen. B. Fifteen. C. Seventeen. 3.

In most areas of China, people always ________ during Minor Cold. ①prepare for New year ②have Laba porridge ③say good-bye to the coldest days ④wear warmer clothes A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ 5. We can learn from the passage that ________. A. it is necessary for people to take umbrellas with them during Grain Buds B. Frost’s Descent is the 8th solar term of a year C. people need to eat food that has less yang energy during Minor Cold B Life is like the four seasons. Now I am very old, but when I was young, it was the spring of my life. I was born, I played a lot, and then I started school. I learned many new things. Like a flower, I grew bigger every day. There were delighted days and sad days: some days the sun shone, and some days it didn’t. In my twenties, I had a good job. I was strong and happy. Then I married and had a child. In those days, I didn’t have much time to think. Every day I was busy and worked very hard. And so, I started to get some white hairs. The summer of my life passed quickly. Then the days got shorter. Leaves fell from the trees. My child was a university student, and then an engineer. My home was much quieter. I started walking slowly. One day I stopped working. I had more time. I understood this was my autumn, a beautiful time when the trees changed color and gave us delicious fruits. But the days kept getting shorter and colder. Winter has come, I am older and weaker. I know I do not have many days left. I will enjoy them to the end. 1. The writer played a lot in the ________ of his life. A. spring B. summer C. autumn D. winter 2.

The best title for the passage would be ________. A. Four Seasons B. My Life C. Four Seasons in a Year D. Four Seasons in My Life C When your town has winter, the earth’s axis(轴) is pointing away from the sun. Your town doesn’t get as much light or heat from the sun. The days are shorter and colder. Winter and summer happen because the earth is tilted(倾斜) as it revolves around the sun. The northern end of the earth’s axis points towards the sun in summer. You have more hours of light in summer. Your part of the earth is towards the sun for more hours each day. When the part of the earth where you live is towards the sun, you have hotter days. In winter, when your part of the earth points away from the sun, you have colder days. You have learned about winter and summer. There are two more seasons in the year. One comes after winter and before summer. The other season comes after summer and before winter. Can you name them? That’s right. Spring comes between winter and summer and autumn comes after summer but before winter. The four seasons are spring, summer, autumn and winter. Spring and autumn are apposite seasons. Which season do you like best? You have thought about the four seasons of the year. Each season is different. The seasons are made by the northern end of the axis pointing towards or away from the sun. Your part of the world gets more heat from the sun when the northern end of the axis points to the sun. When the axis points away from the sun, you get less heat. Now you know why winter is colder than summer. The axis is pointing away from the sun in winter. It is pointing towards the sun in summer. 1. What does the underlined word “revolves” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Moves. B. Turns. C. Jumps. D. Sites. 2. What is the passage mainly about? A.
