As we approach the 10th anniversary of its inscription, let's take a closer look at this important part of Chinese culture. In ancient times, Chinese people were mainly engaged in agricultural production. They observed the sun's movement and changes in natural phenomena carefully to guide their farming activities. As early as the Shang Dynasty, four major solar terms were established. By the Han Dynasty, the 24 Solar Terms we know today was fully formed. Each term reflects the changes in climate, temperature, and natural phenomena, and provides important guidance for farmers to decide when to sow, irrigate, and harvest crops. For example, "Jingzhe" (惊蛰), which usually falls around March 5th to 7th, means that insects awaken from their winter sleep as the weather gets warmer. It's a sign for farmers to start spring ploughing and sowing. "Guyu" (谷雨), around April 19th to 21st, is the time when spring rains are abundant, which is beneficial to the growth of crops and is also a good time for planting grains and vegetables. Today, the 24 Solar Terms is not only important for agricultural production but also has a profound influence on people's daily lives and cultural traditions. Many traditional festivals and customs are related to these solar terms. During "Dongzhi" (冬至), people in the north of China usually eat dumplings to keep warm and celebrate the coming of the coldest days of the year, while in the south, people eat tangyuan. In addition, the 24 Solar Terms has also become an important cultural symbol, representing the wisdom of the Chinese people and their understanding and respect for nature. It has been incorporated into school textbooks to help students better understand Chinese traditional culture and the relationship between humans and nature. With the passage of time, people's ways of life have changed a lot, but the 24 Solar Terms still retains its unique charm and value. On the 10th anniversary of its inscription on the intangible cultural heritage list, more and more people are paying attention to and protecting this precious cultural heritage, and efforts are being made to pass it on to future generations. 1.

It is a remarkable system that reflects the Chinese people's deep understanding of nature and the passage of time. Each solar term lasts about 15 days and is named according to the changes in climate, astronomy, and phenology. For example, "Spring Equinox" indicates that the day and night are of equal length, and it is a crucial time for spring sowing. Farmers will start to plant various crops such as wheat and vegetables, taking advantage of the warming weather and increasing daylight hours. "Summer Solstice" is the day with the longest daylight hours in the northern hemisphere. It marks the peak of summer heat. People would traditionally eat noodles on this day, believing it could help them withstand the sweltering summer. As the seasons progress, "Autumn Equinox" brings a balance of day and night again. It is the time for harvesting grains and fruits, and farmers are busy reaping the rewards of their hard work. The cool and pleasant weather also makes it a great time for people to enjoy outdoor activities and appreciate the beauty of autumn. Finally, "Winter Solstice" is the day with the shortest daylight hours.

People celebrate this solar term by holding various traditional activities. For instance, they might go to the suburbs to enjoy the first signs of spring, such as the budding of flowers and the greening of grass. "Grain Rain" is another important solar term. It is named because during this period, there is abundant rainfall, which is beneficial for the growth of grains. Farmers pay close attention to the weather and soil conditions to ensure the healthy growth of their crops. At the same time, this is also a season when tea leaves are picked, and the freshly picked tea is highly regarded for its excellent quality. In the middle of summer, "Great Heat" arrives, bringing extremely hot weather. People try to find ways to cool down, such as eating cold foods and staying in shaded areas. In some regions, there are also unique folk customs related to this solar term, like dragon boat races to pray for good weather and a bountiful harvest. As the year comes to an end, "Major Cold" represents the coldest period. People prepare for the coming spring by storing food and making necessary repairs to their houses. The cycle of the 24 Solar Terms then repeats, marking the continuous rhythm of nature and human life. 1. What does "Beginning of Spring" signify? A. The end of a year. B.

It is not only a calendar system but also a cultural symbol. "Minor Heat" and "Major Heat" are two consecutive solar terms in summer. During these times, the temperature rises continuously, and people are more likely to feel tired and lack of appetite. To cope with the hot weather, traditional Chinese medicine suggests some dietary adjustments. For example, people are advised to eat more light and digestible foods, such as mung bean soup and lotus root, which can help clear away heat and relieve summer heat. "White Dew" is a solar term in autumn. As the name implies, there is dew on the grass and leaves in the morning, and the weather gradually turns cooler. This is also the season when migratory birds begin to fly south. People start to add more clothes to keep warm and prepare for the coming cold weather. In some areas, there are folk customs of collecting dew and using it for medicinal or cosmetic purposes. "Light Snow" and "Heavy Snow" mark the arrival of the snow season.

As we approach the 10th anniversary of its inscription, let's take a closer look at this important part of Chinese culture. In ancient times, Chinese people were mainly engaged in agricultural production. They observed the sun's movement and changes in natural phenomena carefully to guide their farming activities. As early as the Shang Dynasty, four major solar terms were established. By the Han Dynasty, the 24 Solar Terms we know today was fully formed. Each term reflects the changes in climate, temperature, and natural phenomena, and provides important guidance for farmers to decide when to sow, irrigate, and harvest crops. For example, "Jingzhe" (惊蛰), which usually falls around March 5th to 7th, means that insects awaken from their winter sleep as the weather gets warmer. It's a sign for farmers to start spring ploughing and sowing. "Guyu" (谷雨), around April 19th to 21st, is the time when spring rains are abundant, which is beneficial to the growth of crops and is also a good time for planting grains and vegetables. Today, the 24 Solar Terms is not only important for agricultural production but also has a profound influence on people's daily lives and cultural traditions. Many traditional festivals and customs are related to these solar terms. During "Dongzhi" (冬至), people in the north of China usually eat dumplings to keep warm and celebrate the coming of the coldest days of the year, while in the south, people eat tangyuan. In addition, the 24 Solar Terms has also become an important cultural symbol, representing the wisdom of the Chinese people and their understanding and respect for nature. It has been incorporated into school textbooks to help students better understand Chinese traditional culture and the relationship between humans and nature. With the passage of time, people's ways of life have changed a lot, but the 24 Solar Terms still retains its unique charm and value. On the 10th anniversary of its inscription on the intangible cultural heritage list, more and more people are paying attention to and protecting this precious cultural heritage, and efforts are being made to pass it on to future generations. 1.

It is a remarkable system that reflects the Chinese people's deep understanding of nature and the passage of time. Each solar term lasts about 15 days and is named according to the changes in climate, astronomy, and phenology. For example, "Spring Equinox" indicates that the day and night are of equal length, and it is a crucial time for spring sowing. Farmers will start to plant various crops such as wheat and vegetables, taking advantage of the warming weather and increasing daylight hours. "Summer Solstice" is the day with the longest daylight hours in the northern hemisphere. It marks the peak of summer heat. People would traditionally eat noodles on this day, believing it could help them withstand the sweltering summer. As the seasons progress, "Autumn Equinox" brings a balance of day and night again. It is the time for harvesting grains and fruits, and farmers are busy reaping the rewards of their hard work. The cool and pleasant weather also makes it a great time for people to enjoy outdoor activities and appreciate the beauty of autumn. Finally, "Winter Solstice" is the day with the shortest daylight hours. In northern China, people usually eat dumplings to celebrate this solar term, while in southern regions, tangyuan is the traditional food. This festival also symbolizes the coming of the coldest days of winter and the hope for the return of spring. 1. How long does each solar term last? A. About 7 days. B. About 15 days. C.

Mooncakes. 1. 答案：B 解析：文中提到“Each solar term lasts about 15 days...”，明确表明每个节气大约持续15天，所以选择B选项。 2. 答案：B 解析：根据“‘Spring Equinox’ indicates that the day and night are of equal length, and it is a crucial time for spring sowing. Farmers will start to plant various crops such as wheat and vegetables...”可知，在春分时节，农民们会趁着天气转暖和白昼变长开始进行春播，所以选择B选项。 3. 答案：C 解析：文中指出“‘Winter Solstice’ is the day with the shortest daylight hours. In northern China, people usually eat dumplings to celebrate this solar term...”，说明冬至时，在中国北方，人们通常吃饺子来庆祝这个节气，所以选择C选项。 C The 24 Solar Terms is a unique cultural heritage that has been passed down in China. It was developed based on the sun's annual apparent motion along the ecliptic. The system begins with "Beginning of Spring," which signals the start of a new year and the awakening of nature from the cold winter. People celebrate this solar term by holding various traditional activities. For instance, they might go to the suburbs to enjoy the first signs of spring, such as the budding of flowers and the greening of grass. "Grain Rain" is another important solar term. It is named because during this period, there is abundant rainfall, which is beneficial for the growth of grains. Farmers pay close attention to the weather and soil conditions to ensure the healthy growth of their crops. At the same time, this is also a season when tea leaves are picked, and the freshly picked tea is highly regarded for its excellent quality. In the middle of summer, "Great Heat" arrives, bringing extremely hot weather. People try to find ways to cool down, such as eating cold foods and staying in shaded areas. In some regions, there are also unique folk customs related to this solar term, like dragon boat races to pray for good weather and a bountiful harvest. As the year comes to an end, "Major Cold" represents the coldest period. People prepare for the coming spring by storing food and making necessary repairs to their houses.

It is not only a calendar system but also a cultural symbol. "Minor Heat" and "Major Heat" are two consecutive solar terms in summer. During these times, the temperature rises continuously, and people are more likely to feel tired and lack of appetite. To cope with the hot weather, traditional Chinese medicine suggests some dietary adjustments. For example, people are advised to eat more light and digestible foods, such as mung bean soup and lotus root, which can help clear away heat and relieve summer heat. "White Dew" is a solar term in autumn. As the name implies, there is dew on the grass and leaves in the morning, and the weather gradually turns cooler. This is also the season when migratory birds begin to fly south. People start to add more clothes to keep warm and prepare for the coming cold weather. In some areas, there are folk customs of collecting dew and using it for medicinal or cosmetic purposes. "Light Snow" and "Heavy Snow" mark the arrival of the snow season. The earth is covered with a layer of white snow, creating a beautiful winter scene. People engage in activities such as ice skating and making snowmen.

Farmers store the harvested crops and make plans for the next year. 1. importance 解析：“be of + 名词”相当于“be + 形容词”，此处“be of great importance”表示“非常重要”，符合语境，所以填“importance”。 2. indicating 解析：此处用现在分词作伴随状语，逻辑主语“The temperature”（温度）与“indicate”（表明，预示）之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词“indicating”，说明温度开始上升的同时预示着春天的来临，所以填“indicating”。 3. actively 解析：此处需要一个副词修饰动词“prepare”，“active”是形容词，其副词形式“actively”表示“积极地”，说明农民开始积极地为春耕做准备，所以填“actively”。 4. repair 解析：“and”连接并列的谓语动词，形式要保持一致，前面是“clean the fields”，此处与“clean”并列，所以用动词原形“repair”，表示农民清理田地并且修理农具，所以填“repair”。 5. increases 解析：主语“the amount of rainfall”（降雨量）是单数，句子描述的是一般情况，用一般现在时，所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，“increase”的第三人称单数是“increases”，所以填“increases”。 6. sown 解析：“sow”（播种）与“seeds”（种子）之间是被动关系，即种子被播种，此处用过去分词作后置定语修饰“seeds”，“sow”的过去分词是“sown”，所以填“sown”。 7. vigorous 解析：此处需要一个形容词修饰名词“growth”，“vigor”是名词，其形容词形式“vigorous”表示“旺盛的，精力充沛的”，说明作物处于旺盛生长的时期，所以填“vigorous”。 8. poses 解析：主语“the high temperature”（高温）是单数，句子描述的是一般情况，用一般现在时，所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，“pose”的第三人称单数是“poses”，表示高温对作物构成威胁，所以填“poses”。 9. setting 解析：“such as”（例如）后接名词、代词或动名词，此处表示举例说明采取的给田地降温的措施，所以用“set”的动名词形式“setting”，所以填“setting”。 10. slow 解析：此处描述的是客观事实，用一般现在时，主语“Agricultural activities”（农业活动）是复数，所以谓语动词用原形“slow”，表示冬至时农业活动减缓，所以填“slow”。 书面表达 A 假如你是李华，你的美国笔友 Tom 对中国的二十四节气很感兴趣，向你询问相关信息。请你根据以下要点，用英语给他写一封回信介绍二十四节气。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ✦起源：起源于黄河流域，有着悠久的历史，是中国古代劳动人民长期经验的积累和智慧的结晶。 ✦内容：将一年分为 24 个部分，每个节气约 15 天，分别对应不同的气候、物候现象和农事活动，如立春标志着春天的开始，人们开始准备春耕；夏至是白昼最长的一天，也是农作物生长旺盛的时期等。 ✦意义：不仅指导农业生产，还深刻影响着中国人的生活方式、文化传统和民俗活动，如冬至吃饺子、清明扫墓等；如今，二十四节气也被越来越多的国际友人所知晓，成为了中国文化的一张亮丽名片。 参考范文 Dear Tom, I'm very glad to hear that you are interested in the 24 solar terms in China. Now, let me introduce them to you. The 24 solar terms originated in the Yellow River Basin and have a long history. They are the crystallization of the long-term experience and wisdom of the ancient Chinese working people. These solar terms divide the year into 24 parts, and each solar term lasts about 15 days. Each one corresponds to different climatic, phenological phenomena and agricultural activities. For example, "Beginning of Spring" marks the start of spring, and people begin to prepare for spring ploughing. "Summer Solstice" is the day with the longest daylight hours and is also a period when crops grow vigorously. The 24 solar terms not only guide agricultural production but also deeply affect the Chinese people's way of life, cultural traditions and folk activities. For instance, people eat dumplings on "Winter Solstice" and sweep tombs on "Qingming Festival". Nowadays, the 24 solar terms are becoming known to more and more international friends and have become a beautiful name card of Chinese culture. I hope you can have a better understanding of the 24 solar terms through my introduction. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me. Best regards!

Each season has its own unique characteristics, and so do the ways to maintain good health. In spring, when the yang qi rises, we should go to bed early and get up early, and take part in more outdoor activities. This can help us feel refreshed and full of energy. In summer, due to the intense heat, we need to pay attention to preventing heatstroke and cooling down. A light diet is also recommended to avoid excessive internal heat. Autumn is dry, so it is beneficial to nourish yin and moisten the lungs. Eating more fruits can provide the necessary moisture and nutrients. In winter, as it is cold, we can take some tonics appropriately and strengthen physical exercises to enhance our resistance. Personally, I have experienced the positive effects of following the solar term health preservation methods. Last winter, my family and I ate some nourishing foods regularly. As a result, we didn't feel as cold as before and had more energy to engage in daily activities. It really made a difference in our lives. Therefore, I sincerely call on everyone to attach importance to health preservation according to the 24 solar terms. By doing so, we can better maintain our physical health and improve our quality of life. Let's inherit and carry forward this traditional wisdom and enjoy a healthy and happy life.

It usually falls around September 22nd or 23rd. At this time, the day and night are of equal length, and the weather becomes cool and pleasant. The autumn scenery is also very charming, with golden leaves falling gently, painting a beautiful picture of nature. There are several reasons why I like Autumn Equinox so much. Firstly, it is a season of harvest. The fields are filled with ripe grains and fruits, which give a sense of fulfillment. My family and I often go to the countryside to experience the joy of harvest, picking apples and persimmons. It is a great opportunity for us to get close to nature and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Secondly, there are some interesting traditional activities during this solar term. For example, people worship the moon and enjoy the full moon at night, which is full of cultural connotations. Moreover, the food in autumn is also very delicious. Crabs are in season, and their rich flavor is really tempting. Autumn Equinox has brought me many beautiful memories and a deep sense of the beauty and bounty of nature. It enriches my life and makes me cherish every moment of this season. It is not just a solar term but a symbol of warmth, happiness and the cycle of life. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
