Now let me tell you something about it. There are 24 solar terms (二十四节气) in the Chinese lunar (农历) year. The Awakening of Insects means that spring thunder (雷) awakens (唤醒) the animals and spring begins to come. Just as the old Chinese saying “Once the Awakening of Insects comes, spring plough (耕犁) never rests” says, it is the key time for spring farming activities. During this time, most parts of China get warmer and warmer with the temperatures above 10℃. The days get longer and the sunshine is good for farming. Eating pears around the Awakening of Insects is a popular custom in China. As the weather gets warmer and the air becomes dry, people often get colds or coughs. A pear is sweet and juicy. It is good for people’s health. The 24 Chinese solar terms are interesting, right? I will tell you more about it next time. Yours, Li Hua 21. The Awakening of Insects means ________. A. autumn is a good time for plough B. the animals begin to sleep C. summer thunder awakens animals D. spring comes 22. The reason why the Awakening of Insects is the key time for farming activities is EXCEPT ________. A. because most parts of China get warmer B. because the days are longer C. because the farmers are free D. because the sunshine is good for farming 23. People like to ________ during Awakening of Insects. A. eat pears B. fly kites C. eat dumplings D. awaken the animals 24. From the letter, we can find that ________. A. Li Hua asked Bob some questions about the Awakening of Insects B. Bob is interested in Chinese culture C. There are 23 solar systems in Chinese lunar year D. The temperature in the Awakening of Insects is above 20°C 25. This letter is mainly about ________. A. the 24 Chinese solar terms B. the Awakening of Insects C. an old Chinese saying D. a widely-practice B When you watch your favorite movies, you might not think about science. Of course, there’s a lot of science behind movies like The Mars or Harry Potter and also cartoons like Frozen or Mulan. Cartoons use a lot of science and math to make things look as real as possible. For example, snow was used in many parts of the movie Frozen, but making the snow look real was a challenge. The snow needed to act differently in different situations, like if it was melting or blowing in the wind. Mathematicians had to create a computer program to make the snow look more natural The mathematician Joseph faced this challenge with Frozen. He and his team used math equations(等式) to treat snow like many different pieces instead of one large thing, as movies did in the past. They worked for months to make a computer program do this. Science is important for superhero movies, too. Superheroes should have special powers that can’t be explained. But movie makers still want to make their actions as real as possible. For example, Burks, a chemistry professor, told the Daily Mail that some of the science behind The Avengers could be real. Iron Man’s coat is also possible to be real because it can be made of a light but strong material. In the movie, Tony makes new things by making atoms collide(使原子对撞), much like scientists do in real life. So next time you see a movie, don’t forget to think about the science behind it. 26. According to the article, there is much ________ behind movies. A. Internet B. project C. science D. light 27. The underlined word Mathematicians probably means ________. A. scientist of music B. scientist of math C. scientist of computer D. scientist of physics 28. ________ and his team made the snow in Frozen looked real with the knowledge of math. A. Joseph B. Burks C. Iron Man D. Tony 29. Which of the following is TRUE about the movies? A. Science is also important for “superhero movies”. B. Cartoons use a lot of medicines to make things look as real as possible. C. All of the science behind The Avengers wasn’t real. D. Superheroes have special powers that can easily be explained. 30. Which one can be the best title for the article? A. Interesting movies and cartoons B. Real things in movies C. Movies or cartoons, which would be real? D. Science in movies and cartoons C 配对阅读 左栏是五个人的需求，右栏是七个场所的广告信息，请为这五个人选择其感兴趣的场所。 ___31___. Susan’s favorite hobby is reading. She wants to buy some English books to read in summer holiday. ___32___.
