The 17 （arrive）of Lidong marks the beginning of the closure of vitality, as all things in nature enter a state of rest and preservation. During this time, the climate shifts from the dry, less rainy autumn to the cold and damp winter. At the time of Lidong, the sun has reached 225 degrees of the ecliptic longitude. Daylight hours 18 （gradual）shorten, and the midday sun's height continues to decrease, which leads to a 19 （reduce）in the solar radiation （太阳辐射）received by the Northern Hemisphere. In ancient times, Lidong was not merely a time of agricultural leisure but also a significant occasion for people to enjoy the joy of harvest, express gratitude to nature, and honor their ancestors. People would prepare offerings such as wine, meat, and 20 （vary）fruits to worship the heavens, ancestors, and deities, hoping for peace and prosperity in the winter and a good harvest in the coming year. The 21 （emperor）of ancient China would hold grand sacrificial ceremonies in the ancestral temple, showing the reverence for nature and gratitude toward their ancestors.The emperor would wear formal black robes and solemnly pray for the blessings of the gods to ensure peace and prosperity in the country and the health of the people. Over time, this tradition 22 （evolve）into more familiar practices, such as visiting parents, giving them winter clothes, and sharing a family reunion meal. The custom of celebrating the arrival of winter, or "He Dong," is also quite special. On this day, people typically change into new clothes, visit each other, and exchange sincere well-wishes, all to welcome the official arrival of winter.In northern China, there is a tradition of eating dumplings during Lidong. The 23 （pronounce）of "dumpling" (jiaozi) is similar to "jiaozi," which symbolizes the transition from autumn to winter. 24 （other）explanation is that people believe that the shape of dumplings is similar to ears, and by eating them, they can protect their ears from the cold during the winter. In Shaoxing, people begin brewing（酿造） yellow wine on this day. The winter environment, with 25 （it）clear waters and relatively low temperatures, is ideal for the fermentation process, giving the wine a unique aroma. 【参考答案】 16.falling; 17.arrival; 18.gradually; 19.reduction; 20.various; 21.emperors; 22.has evolved; 23.pronunciation; 24.Another; 25.its Word Collection： 1.preservation n.保护；保存；维护 2.agricultural adj.农业的，与农业有关的 3.worship v./n.敬奉 4.typically adv.典型地；一般；通常 C In the US, baseball players rub(涂) a kind of mud on the balls before games. This mud is collected in New Jersey along the Delaware River. The tradition started in the 1930s. Many players say this "magic" mud can help them win. But is this science or just superstition(迷信)？ Since 2019, scientists from the University of Pennsylvania in the US have been studying the mud. They noticed that it is different from other muds. "It feels like sandpaper (砂纸) when you hold it, but then you can [spread] it like a cream (奶油),” Shravan Pradeep, one of the scientists, told Popular Science. To understand why, the scientists did some experiments.They used a special instrument to see how the mud spreads and then examined the mud under a microscope (显微镜). They found that the mud is very fine, as if there is no sand in it. It is also sticky, but becomes less so after it dries. Next, the scientists wanted to see if the mud helps players grip（握紧）the baseball better. They made a material that feels like skin and put a special oil on it, like the kind found on human skin. When the scientists used the oiled material to rub mud on a baseball, they discovered the mud increased friction (摩擦力）.This makes it more difficult for the ball to slip out of(脱离)the players’ hands. The scientists were amazed to find that the mud has just the right stickiness (粘性),spread-ability（铺展性)and friction all at once. "We just didn't expect (this)," said Paul Arratia, another scientist in the group. The scientists hope their research will encourage more people to study natural materials. They believe nature can teach us a lot about making better materials in the future. Choose the answer: 26. Why do baseball players rub mud on baseballs? A. To help players hold them easily. B. To give the balls a dark color. C. To make the balls heavier. D. To help the balls fly higher. 27. What did Shravan Pradeep tell Popular Science? A. Why scientists wanted to study the mud. B. How the mud is different from other muds. C. How players spread the mud on their baseballs. D. Why the mud is useful for baseball players. 28. The underlined word "fine" can be replaced by .

The mud made the ball sticky. C. The mud added friction to the ball. D. The mud made the ball spreadable. 30.

It’s good for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. There are some suggestions: Put a smoke alarm in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once. Make escape plans. They should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily. Buy fire extinguishers (灭火器) in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them. Practice for a fire. They do fire practice because they teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules: Don’t open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door. Stay close to the floor! Smoke can be dangerous than fire. The best air is near the floor because smoke rises. What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop! Don’t run! The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop! Fall to the floor. Then roll (打滚). Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put a blanket around you to keep air away from the fire that may still be on you. There are many possible causes for fires. A wise family is ready all the time. If there is a fire, don’t forget to call 119 for help. 31．The passage is mainly about . (10个词以内) 32．The fire alarm makes a loud sound to tell everyone at once.

E Since August, if kids in the UK miss school without the head teacher's permission，their parents have had to pay a fine of at least 80 pounds (about 742 yuan). This is higher than the 60 pounds before. Even so, many parents still want to take their children out of school for a term-time holiday, reported The Mirror on Oct 16. The government made the rules in February to improve school attendance, which has dropped since the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, in the 2022-23 school year, nearly 400,000 such penalty notices （罚款通知书)were given in England, and almost 90 percent of them were for term-time holidays, reported Sky News. But parents do not seem to care much about it. In the latest survey of around 5,500 parents, nearly 57 percent said they would still consider letting their children miss school for a holiday. The same percentage said the risk of the fines would not change their decision. This is partly because schooling in the UK has become more expensive. Over 21 percent of parents surveyed found school- related costs hard to afford.School trips are one concern. Their high price makes many parents want to skip them, reported The Guardian. Traveling in the middle of school terms is also cheaper. The Independent noted that this way, even with higher fines, a family of four flying from London to Geneva, Switzerland, could still save more than 2,700 pounds. Experts suggest that instead of just increasing fines, the government should support families more and address the high costs of family vacations, reported The Independent. Choose the answer: 36. Why did the UK government increase the fines for parents whose children miss school? A. To improve school attendance. B. To collect money for schools. C. To cut term-time holidays. D. To require permission for leave. 37. Why do parents seem not to care much about the fines? A. Because they consider education as not important. B. Because they are unhappy with the high school-related costs. C. Because they prefer homeschooling their kids. D. Because they don't like the school's courses. 38. How should the government deal with the problem according to experts? A. By increasing the fine. B. By offering help to families. C. By canceling term-time holidays. D. By teaching parents to plan family vacations.
