Australia’s famous Great Barrier Reef is suffering one of the most severe coral bleaching (珊瑚白化) events on record, leaving scientists fearful for its survival as the impact of climate change worsens.
For 33 years, marine biologist Anne Hoggett has lived and worked on Lizard Island off the Australia’s northeast. During her every visit underwater, schools of fish swim gracefully, feeding on the coral or dashing (猛冲) between it. Some are as small as her little finger, while others are the color of fire.
However, due to climate change, it is becoming a narrow comfort zone for corals. When Hoggett first arrived on the island three decades ago, bleaching would occur every 10 years or so. Now, it is happening every year. “The only time we’ve seen bleaching this bad was in 2016, when just about everything died, ” Hoggett said.
Coral bleaching occurs when water temperatures rise more than 1°C. Currently, the world is experiencing its second major coral bleaching event in 10 years, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced in April.
“As the world’s oceans continue to warm, coral bleaching is becoming more frequent and severe, ” said NOAA. Since February, ocean temperatures around Lizard Island have been up to2°C warmer than average. NOAA estimated that about 80 percent of the coral had already died.
While reefs can recover from bleaching, the window of recovery between events is narrowing due to the frequency of the events. Globally, billions of dollars are being poured into coral bleaching reduction projects. This includes breeding (培育) coral on artificial reefs and moving it elsewhere, making clouds more heat reflective, or controlling coral-killers.
These site-specific conservation efforts are important, but Terry Hughes, an Australian coral reef scientist, said they do nothing to address the root cause of bleaching: climate change. The scale (规模) of these reduction projects is too small. “The solution is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (排放) as quickly as possible, ” Hughes said.
8. What do we know about Australia’s Great Barrier Reef from Paragraph 1?
A. It is famous for various types of corals.
B. Sea pollution has caused the loss of corals.
C. Mass coral bleaching has been on the rise.
D. Over half of corals have been saved by scientists.
9. What does the author mean by saying “it is becoming a narrow comfort zone for corals”?
A. Corals prefer a crowded place.
B. Corals grow best in a small area.
C. Corals are less stressed by temperature changes.
D. Corals can adapt to climate change with difficulty.
10. What can we infer about corals bleaching from the passage?
A. Water temperature has little to do with coral bleaching.
B. The way to save corals in the long run is to slow down climate change.
C. Corals can recover quickly from bleaching with time passing by.
D. We can avoid the destruction of corals if we take quick actions.
11. What is Terry’s attitude towards site-specific conservation efforts?
A. Doubtful. B. Hopeful. C. Supportive. D. Unconcerned.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了澳大利亚大堡礁正经历着有史以来最严重的珊瑚白化事件之一,科学家们对此感到担忧,因为气候变化的影响正在加剧。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。第一段提到“Australia’s famous Great Barrier Reef is suffering one of the most severe coral bleaching (珊瑚白化) events on record, leaving scientists fearful for its survival as the impact of climate change worsens.(澳大利亚著名大堡礁正经历着有史以来最严重的珊瑚白化事件之一,随着气候变化影响的加剧,科学家们很担心它的生存。)”可知,大规模珊瑚白化现象呈上升趋势。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“However, due to climate change, it is becoming a narrow comfort zone for corals. When Hoggett first arrived on the island three decades ago, bleaching would occur every 10 years or so. Now, it is happening every year.(然而,由于气候变化,对珊瑚来说,这正在成为一个狭小的舒适区。当霍格特30年前第一次来到这个岛上时,珊瑚白化大约每10年发生一次。现在,每年都会发生。)”可知,由于气候变化,珊瑚很难适应现在的环境,所以说对珊瑚来说,这正在成为一个狭小的舒适区。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“These site-specific conservation efforts are important, but Terry Hughes, an Australian coral reef scientist, said they do nothing to address the root cause of bleaching: climate change. The scale (规模) of these reduction projects is too small. “The solution is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (排放) as quickly as possible,” Hughes said.(这些针对特定地点的保护工作很重要,但澳大利亚珊瑚礁科学家特里·休斯表示,它们对解决白化的根本原因——气候变化没有任何作用。这些减排项目的规模太小。“解决办法是尽快减少温室气体排放,”休斯说。)”可知,从长远来看,拯救珊瑚的方法是减缓气候变化。故选B。

The Chinese calendar has 24 solar terms. Jingzhe is from March 5 to 20 this year. It is a special and meaningful period during the year. This solar term means the temperature and rainfall rise. It’s the third solar term in a year. Its name means animals sleeping in winter wake up and everything comes alive. The world seems to be filled with new energy during this time.
In the past, people thought thunder woke the insects. But modern research shows it’s the warmer temperature and more wet soil that really wakes up the insects. This discovery helps us better understand the natural phenomenon (现象).
Jingzhe is very important for farmers. It’s seen as the start of the busiest farming time. Old sayings like “once Jingzhe comes, spring plowing (春耕) never rests” show its importance. During this time, most parts of China experience a rapid increase in temperatures and there’s more sunshine, which is good for farming. Farmers are busy preparing the land with great enthusiasm.
Eating pears during Jingzhe is a common custom in China. One reason is that the Chinese word for “pear” sounds the same as the character meaning “to leave”. So eating pears shows people's wish to drive pests away for a good harvest. Also, in traditional Chinese medicine, pears are sweet, juicy and cold. They’re good for the lungs and can prevent or ease (缓解) coughs when the weather gets warmer and drier. This is particularly beneficial when people feel thirsty and have dry tongues because of the changing climate. People enjoy this healthy and traditional practice.
12 Why is Jingzhe a special and meaningful period during the year?
A. It is the third solar term in a year. B. The temperature and rainfall rise.
C. It is the time when animals store their energy. D. It is the time when everything becomes alive.
13. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 3?
A. To illustrate the great efforts that farmers make in farming.
B. To present the important role that Jingzhe plays in farming.
C. To introduce different types of farming in modern agriculture.
D. To show the difficulties of farming the farmers meet during this period.
14. What can be learnt from the last paragraph?
A. Eating pears can prevent people from getting sick.
B. Pear has the same meaning as the Chinese character “to leave”.
C. Chinese common customs are based on traditional Chinese medicine.
D. Chinese people enjoy some common practices with changes to solar terms.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Jingzhe — A Particular Chinese Solar Term
B. Jingzhe — A Magic Power of Awakening Insects
C. Pears — Traditional Chinese Medicine for Coughs
D. Spring Plowing — A Traditional Farming Practice

They’re good for the lungs and can prevent or ease (缓解) coughs when the weather gets warmer and drier. This is particularly beneficial when people feel thirsty and have dry tongues because of the changing climate. People enjoy this healthy and traditional practice.(惊蛰吃梨是中国的一种常见习俗。一个原因是中文里‘梨’这个词的发音和‘离’这个字的发音一样。所以吃梨表达了人们希望驱除害虫,获得好收成的愿望。另外,在中医里,梨味甜、多汁、性寒。它们对肺有好处,当天气变暖变干时,可以预防或缓解咳嗽。当气候变化导致人们感到口渴、舌头干燥时,这尤其有益。人们喜欢这种健康而传统的习俗)”可知,从最后一段可以了解到中国人喜欢随着节气的变化进行一些常见习俗,如惊蛰吃梨。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了中国24节气中的惊蛰,包括其时间、含义、对农业的重要性以及吃梨的习俗。由此可知,选项A“惊蛰——中国的一个特殊节气”能够概括全文内容,适合作为本文标题。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了城市和森林之间的紧密联系以及它们所面临的挑战。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:尽管城市和森林乍一看似乎截然不同,但它们之间存在着深刻的相互影响,并且都正面临着日益严峻的挑战。此处需要副词来修饰形容词“different”,表示“极大地不同”。因此,将形容词“huge”转化为副词“hugely”。故填hugely。
【37题详解】
考查省略句。句意:面对快速的城市化进程,城市需要为其不断增长的人口提供资源,同时还要使他们免受气候变化的影响。此处是while引导的状语从句的省略形式,完整形式应为“while they are keeping them from the impacts of climate change”,在省略主语和系动词后,只留下现在分词“keeping”作状语。故填keeping。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:同时,在森林砍伐普遍、森林退化迅速的背景下,城市所做出的决策对全球森林产生着巨大的影响。固定短语“at the same time”意为“同时”,因此此处应填定冠词“the”。故填the。
【39题详解】
考查动词。句意:持续的森林砍伐和退化会进一步加剧气候危机,威胁水资源安全,减少生物多样性,并恶化人类健康状况。此处需要动词作谓语,与前面的动词“cause”、“threaten”和“lessen”保持并列关系,因此,将形容词“worse”转化为动词“worsen”,情态动词后面应用动词原形。故填worsen。
【40题详解】
考查代词。句意:世界各地的城市都可以利用其在各个尺度上的影响力——无论是在城市内部、城市边界附近还是遥远的地方——来保护、保护和可持续地管理森林。此处需要形容词性物主代词来修饰名词“influence”,表示“他们的影响”。因此,将人称代词“they”转化为形容词性物主代词“their”。故填their。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。此处需要不定式作目的状语,表示“为了保护、保存和可持续地管理森林”,需用动词不定式。故填to protect。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:在得到适当的支持下,城市可以立即采取行动,保护它们所依赖的森林,并利用森林所提供的益处。固定短语“depend on/upon”意为“依赖、依靠”,因此此处应填介词“on”或“upon”。故填on/upon。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:《更好的森林,更好的城市》是目前唯一一份广泛探讨城市与森林之间联系的资源。陈述客观事实,使用一般现在时,主语Better Forests, Better Cities看作一个整体,谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。故填is。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意同上。此处需要名词作介词“on”的宾语,表示“城市和森林之间的联系”,因此,将动词“connect”转化为名词“connection”。故填connection。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:特别是,该报告深入探讨了森林为城市提供的人类健康、水资源安全、气候变化缓解和生物多样性保护等方面的益处。此处引导定语从句,先行词是“the benefits”,指物,且在从句中作主语,因此用关系代词“that”或“which”引导。故填that/which。
第四部分 任务型阅读(共两节,满分20分)
任务型阅读
There were two neighbors living next to each other. One of them was a retired (退休的) teacher and the other was an insurance agent (保险代理人) who had a lot of interest in technology. Both of them had planted different plants in their gardens. The retired teacher was giving a small amount of water to his plants and didn’t always give a full attention to them, while the other neighbor interested in technology, had given a lot of water to his plants and looked after them too well.
The retired teacher’s plants were simple but looked good. The insurance agent’s plants were much fuller and greener. One day, during the night, there was a heavy rain and a wind due to a minor storm. Next morning, both of the neighbors came out to see the loss to their gardens. The neighbor who was an insurance agent saw that his plants came off from the roots (根) and were totally destroyed. But, the retired teacher’s plants were not harmed at all and were standing strongly.
The insurance agent neighbor was surprised to see it and he went to the retired teacher and asked, “We both grew the same plants together, I actually looked after my plants better than you did for yours, and even gave them more water. Still, my plants came off from the roots, while yours didn’t. How is that possible? ”
The retired teacher smiled and said, “You gave your plants more attention and water, but because of that they didn’t need to work themselves for it. You made it easy for them. While I gave them just an adequate amount of water and let their roots search for more. And, because of that, their roots went deeper and that made their position stronger. That is why my plants lived”.

47. The retired teacher gave his plants less water and attention, while the insurance agent gave more water and care.
48. The retired teacher’s plants had deeper roots because they had to search for water, making them stronger and more resilient to the storm. The insurance agent’s plants, however, were given too much water and attention, leading to shallower roots and weaker foundation.
49. The story teaches us that sometimes, providing too much help or comfort can weaken one’s ability to withstand challenges. It’s important to let individuals or plants develop their own strength and resilience.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了两位邻居照料植物方式的不同及其结果。
【46题详解】
考查名词。根据第一段中“There were two neighbors living next to each other. One of them was a retired (退休的) teacher and the other was an insurance agent (保险代理人) who had a lot of interest in technology.(有两个邻居住在一起。其中一个是退休教师,另一个是对技术很感兴趣的保险代理人)”可知,那里曾经住着两个邻居,且本空作主语,用名词neighbor“邻居”的复数形式neighbors。故填neighbors。
考查动词。根据第一段中“Both of them had planted different plants in their gardens. (他们俩都在花园里种了不同的植物)”可知,他们在各自的花园里种植了不同的植物。且本句描述过去的动作,故时态用一般过去时,谓语用grow“种植”的过去式grew。故填grew。
考查形容词比较级。根据第一段中“The retired teacher was giving a small amount of water to his plants and didn’t always give a full attention to them, while the other neighbor interested in technology, had given a lot of water to his plants and looked after them too well. (退休的老师给他的植物少量的水,并不总是给予他们充分的关注,而另一个邻居对技术感兴趣,给他的植物大量的水,照顾得太好了)”可知,与保险代理人相比,退休教师给他的植物浇的水和给予的关心更少。所以需要用形容词little的比较级less“更少的”,作定语,修饰water。故填less。
考查介词。根据第二段中“The retired teacher’s plants were simple but looked good. The insurance agent’s plants were much fuller and greener. (这位退休教师的植物很简单,但看起来很好。保险代理人种的植物更饱满、更绿)”可知,与老师的植物不同,代理人的植物看起来更健康。所以需要用like的反义词,介词unlike“不像”,位于句首,首字母大写。故填Unlike。
考查动词。根据第二段中“One day, during the night, there was a heavy rain and a wind due to a minor storm. (一天晚上,由于一场小风暴,下起了大雨,刮起了风)”可知,一场小风暴带来的大雨和风席卷了他们的花园。所以需要用动词sweep“席卷”。且本句描述的是过去发生的事情,所以需要用动词的过去式。故填swept。
考查形容词。根据第二段中“One day, during the night, there was a heavy rain and a wind due to a minor storm. Next morning, both of the neighbors came out to see the loss to their gardens. (一天晚上,由于一场小风暴,下起了大雨,刮起了风。第二天早上,两个邻居都出来看他们花园的损失)”可知,第二天早上,两个邻居都出来看他们花园的损失,说明他们担心自己的植物。所以需要用形容词worried“担心的”,作宾补。故填worried。
考查动词语态。根据第二段中“The neighbor who was an insurance agent saw that his plants came off from the roots (根) and were totally destroyed. (是保险代理人的邻居,他看到他的植物连根都掉了,完全被毁了)”可知,保险代理人的植物被连根拔起。所以需要用动词短语pull out of“被拔出”。本句描述过去的动作和状态,故时态用一般过去时,且主语The agent’s plants与pull out of之间是被动关系,本空用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为复数,be动词用were。故填were pulled。
考查形容词。根据第二段中“But, the retired teacher’s plants were not harmed at all and were standing strongly. (但是,这位退休教师的植物根本没有受到伤害,而且还很强壮)”可知,退休教师的植物却安然无恙,依然挺立着。safe and sound“安然无恙的”,为固定短语,所以需要用形容词safe,与sound并列。故填safe。
考查形容词。根据第三段“The insurance agent neighbor was surprised to see it and he went to the retired teacher and asked, “We both grew the same plants together, I actually looked after my plants better than you did for yours, and even gave them more water. Still, my plants came off from the roots, while yours didn’t. How is that possible? ” (邻居的保险代理人看到后很惊讶,他去问退休老师:“我们一起种同样的植物,实际上我对我的植物照顾得比你好,甚至给它们更多的水。”尽管如此,我的植物还是从根部脱落了,而你的却没有。这怎么可能呢?”)”可知,保险代理人邻居对此感到惊讶,说明他对两种不同结果感到困惑。所以需要用形容词confused“困惑的”,作表语。故填confused。
考查名词。根据最后一段“The retired teacher smiled and said, “You gave your plants more attention and water, but because of that they didn’t need to work themselves for it. You made it easy for them. While I gave them just an adequate amount of water and let their roots search for more. And, because of that, their roots went deeper and that made their position stronger. That is why my plants lived”. (退休老师笑着说:“你给了你的植物更多的关注和水,但正因为如此,它们不需要自己努力。你让他们轻松了很多。而我只给它们适量的水,让它们的根去寻找更多的水。正因为如此,他们的根基更深,这使他们的地位更加稳固。这就是我的植物活下来的原因。”)”可知,退休教师认为他的邻居给植物浇了太多的水和给予了太多的关注。所以需要用名词assumption“假设,认为”,作made的宾语。故填assumption。
【47题详解】
考查细节理解。由文章第一段中“The retired teacher was giving a small amount of water to his plants and didn’t always give a full attention to them, while the other neighbor interested in technology, had given a lot of water to his plants and looked after them too well. (退休的老师给他的植物少量的水,并不总是给予他们充分的关注,而另一个邻居对技术感兴趣,给他的植物大量的水,照顾得太好了)”可知,两位邻居照料植物的方式不同。退休教师给植物浇少量的水,并不总是给予充分的关注;而另一位对科技感兴趣的邻居则给植物浇了很多水,并且照顾得非常好。故答案为The retired teacher gave his plants less water and attention, while the insurance agent gave more water and care.
【48题详解】
考查细节理解。根据最后一段“The retired teacher smiled and said, “You gave your plants more attention and water, but because of that they didn’t need to work themselves for it. You made it easy for them. While I gave them just an adequate amount of water and let their roots search for more. And, because of that, their roots went deeper and that made their position stronger. That is why my plants lived”. (退休老师笑着说:“你给了你的植物更多的关注和水,但正因为如此,它们不需要自己努力。你让他们轻松了很多。而我只给它们适量的水,让它们的根去寻找更多的水。正因为如此,他们的根基更深,这使他们的地位更加稳固。这就是我的植物活下来的原因。”)”可知,这位退休教师的植物有更深的根,因为它们必须寻找水,使它们更强壮,更能抵御风暴。然而,保险代理人的植物被给予了过多的水分和关注,导致根系变浅,根基变弱。故答案为The retired teacher’s plants had deeper roots because they had to search for water, making them stronger and more resilient to the storm. The insurance agent’s plants, however, were given too much water and attention, leading to shallower roots and weaker foundation.
【49题详解】
开放性题目,此题要求回答:你能从这个故事中学到什么教训?答案不唯一,合理即可。例如:这个故事告诉我们,有时候,提供太多的帮助或安慰会削弱一个人抵御挑战的能力。让个人或植物发展自己的力量和韧性是很重要的。故答案为The story teaches us that sometimes, providing too much help or comfort can weaken one’s ability to withstand challenges. It’s important to let individuals or plants develop their own strength and resilience.

【答案】Dear Jesse,
I’m so happy you’re interested in giant pandas! Let me tell you more about the lovely animal.
Pandas are very special. They have black and white fur, with big round faces and small black ears. Their eyes look like they’re wearing glasses, which makes them adorable! Pandas are large but can climb trees easily. Pandas also have strong paws that help them hold bamboo. Pandas spend most of their time eating bamboo. Besides eating, pandas like to rest and sleep a lot. Sometimes, they swim in rivers or lakes for fun.
In China, pandas are very significant. They are our national treasure and symbolize peace and friendship. We try our best to protect them because there aren’t many left in the wild.
Yours,
Li Hua

In Serbia, winning such competitions makes our schools and communities extremely proud. It may also bring wonderful awards or helpful scholarships, and significantly increase the chances of getting into good universities. This is why so many students are eager to participate and try their best.
Preparing for the competition was challenging. Our teacher spent extra time patiently helping us with complex and confusing ideas and problem-solving before the event. We studied in groups, sharing our different and unique ways of thinking. Sometimes, we argued heatedly, but these discussions always helped us understand the problems more deeply and thoroughly.
I was nervous like a little rabbit before the competition, but I became calm and focused as if I were a professional when it started. One question was about using math to make public transportation routes better in a busy place. We had to think about population, busy travel times, complicated traffic and the environment carefully. It was hard, but I made it simpler by analyzing step by step. Solving it made me feel extremely proud of my math skills.
I was excited to get fifth place when the results came out. I’m now more eager than ever to improve my math skills. Each time I solve a problem I become more confident and determined to do better. I believe that with hard work and continuous efforts, I can achieve more and more in the future math competitions and make my dreams come true.

Australia’s famous Great Barrier Reef is suffering one of the most severe coral bleaching (珊瑚白化) events on record, leaving scientists fearful for its survival as the impact of climate change worsens.
For 33 years, marine biologist Anne Hoggett has lived and worked on Lizard Island off the Australia’s northeast. During her every visit underwater, schools of fish swim gracefully, feeding on the coral or dashing (猛冲) between it. Some are as small as her little finger, while others are the color of fire.
However, due to climate change, it is becoming a narrow comfort zone for corals. When Hoggett first arrived on the island three decades ago, bleaching would occur every 10 years or so. Now, it is happening every year. “The only time we’ve seen bleaching this bad was in 2016, when just about everything died, ” Hoggett said.
Coral bleaching occurs when water temperatures rise more than 1°C. Currently, the world is experiencing its second major coral bleaching event in 10 years, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced in April.
“As the world’s oceans continue to warm, coral bleaching is becoming more frequent and severe, ” said NOAA. Since February, ocean temperatures around Lizard Island have been up to2°C warmer than average. NOAA estimated that about 80 percent of the coral had already died.
While reefs can recover from bleaching, the window of recovery between events is narrowing due to the frequency of the events. Globally, billions of dollars are being poured into coral bleaching reduction projects. This includes breeding (培育) coral on artificial reefs and moving it elsewhere, making clouds more heat reflective, or controlling coral-killers.
These site-specific conservation efforts are important, but Terry Hughes, an Australian coral reef scientist, said they do nothing to address the root cause of bleaching: climate change. The scale (规模) of these reduction projects is too small. “The solution is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (排放) as quickly as possible, ” Hughes said.
8. What do we know about Australia’s Great Barrier Reef from Paragraph 1?
A. It is famous for various types of corals.
B. Sea pollution has caused the loss of corals.
C. Mass coral bleaching has been on the rise.
D. Over half of corals have been saved by scientists.
9. What does the author mean by saying “it is becoming a narrow comfort zone for corals”?
A. Corals prefer a crowded place.
B Corals grow best in a small area.
C. Corals are less stressed by temperature changes.
D. Corals can adapt to climate change with difficulty.
10. What can we infer about corals bleaching from the passage?
A. Water temperature has little to do with coral bleaching.
B. The way to save corals in the long run is to slow down climate change.
C. Corals can recover quickly from bleaching with time passing by.
D. We can avoid the destruction of corals if we take quick actions.
11. What is Terry’s attitude towards site-specific conservation efforts?
A. Doubtful. B. Hopeful. C. Supportive. D. Unconcerned.
D
The Chinese calendar has 24 solar terms. Jingzhe is from March 5 to 20 this year. It is a special and meaningful period during the year. This solar term means the temperature and rainfall rise. It’s the third solar term in a year. Its name means animals sleeping in winter wake up and everything comes alive. The world seems to be filled with new energy during this time.
In the past, people thought thunder woke the insects. But modern research shows it’s the warmer temperature and more wet soil that really wakes up the insects. This discovery helps us better understand the natural phenomenon (现象).
Jingzhe is very important for farmers. It’s seen as the start of the busiest farming time. Old sayings like “once Jingzhe comes, spring plowing (春耕) never rests” show its importance. During this time, most parts of China experience a rapid increase in temperatures and there’s more sunshine, which is good for farming. Farmers are busy preparing the land with great enthusiasm.
Eating pears during Jingzhe is a common custom in China. One reason is that the Chinese word for “pear” sounds the same as the character meaning “to leave”. So eating pears shows people's wish to drive pests away for a good harvest. Also, in traditional Chinese medicine, pears are sweet, juicy and cold. They’re good for the lungs and can prevent or ease (缓解) coughs when the weather gets warmer and drier. This is particularly beneficial when people feel thirsty and have dry tongues because of the changing climate. People enjoy this healthy and traditional practice.
12. Why is Jingzhe a special and meaningful period during the year?
A. It is the third solar term in a year. B. The temperature and rainfall rise.
C. It is the time when animals store their energy. D. It is the time when everything becomes alive.
13. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 3?
A. To illustrate the great efforts that farmers make in farming.
B. To present the important role that Jingzhe plays in farming.
C. To introduce different types of farming in modern agriculture.
D. To show the difficulties of farming the farmers meet during this period.
14. What can be learnt from the last paragraph?
A. Eating pears can prevent people from getting sick.
B. Pear has the same meaning as the Chinese character “to leave”.
C. Chinese common customs are based on traditional Chinese medicine.
D. Chinese people enjoy some common practices with changes to solar terms.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Jingzhe — A Particular Chinese Solar Term
B. Jingzhe — A Magic Power of Awakening Insects
C. Pears — Traditional Chinese Medicine for Coughs
D. Spring Plowing — A Traditional Farming Practice

There were two neighbors living next to each other. One of them was a retired (退休的) teacher and the other was an insurance agent (保险代理人) who had a lot of interest in technology. Both of them had planted different plants in their gardens. The retired teacher was giving a small amount of water to his plants and didn’t always give a full attention to them, while the other neighbor interested in technology, had given a lot of water to his plants and looked after them too well.
The retired teacher’s plants were simple but looked good. The insurance agent’s plants were much fuller and greener. One day, during the night, there was a heavy rain and a wind due to a minor storm. Next morning, both of the neighbors came out to see the loss to their gardens. The neighbor who was an insurance agent saw that his plants came off from the roots (根) and were totally destroyed. But, the retired teacher’s plants were not harmed at all and were standing strongly.
The insurance agent neighbor was surprised to see it and he went to the retired teacher and asked, “We both grew the same plants together, I actually looked after my plants better than you did for yours, and even gave them more water. Still, my plants came off from the roots, while yours didn’t. How is that possible? ”
The retired teacher smiled and said, “You gave your plants more attention and water, but because of that they didn’t need to work themselves for it. You made it easy for them. While I gave them just an adequate amount of water and let their roots search for more. And, because of that, their roots went deeper and that made their position stronger. That is why my plants lived”.
