Yours, Li Hua 二十四节气 中国传统历法的月份是按照月亮的周期变化确定的，但是你知道传统历法也是按照太阳的周期变化确定的吗?实际上，根据太阳在天空中的位置，一年可以分为 24 个时段。每个时段都以一个“solar term”作为开端,也就是中文里的“节气”。这些节气随季节和天气的变化而变化。 “立春”“立夏”“立秋”和“立冬”将一年分为四个季节。每个季节又可以分为六个时段，每个时段持续约15天。节气的日期不固定，它们有时会有一两天的变化。 二十四节气在日常生活中非常有用。例如，它们能帮助农民决定什么时候种庄稼。节气在中国传统文化中也起着重要的作用。在过去，人们用不同的方式庆祝这些日子，比如吃当地的特色菜肴。现在仍然保留着许多这样的传统。例如，人们仍然会吃春卷和春饼来庆祝“立春”。 知识解析 1.The 24 solar terms 二十四节气 solar作为形容词，意为“太阳能的”，term作为名词，意为“学期，项，期”，例如 solar power 太阳能；new term 新学期。 2.In fact, the year is divided into 24 parts, based on where the sun is in the sky. 事实上，根据太阳在天空中的位置，一年分为24个部分。 （1）diveide 作为动词，意为“分开，分割”，常用固定搭配 be divided into… 被分为……； divide…into… 把……分成…… e.g. The year is divided into 24 parts. = People divide the year into 24 parts. （2）base 作为动词，意为“以……为基础”， 常用固定搭配 be based on… 以……为基础 其派生词有basic (adj.) 基础的; base (n.) 基地，底座，基础 The story is based on real life. 那故事是根据现实生活而写的。 My grandma divided the cake into 4 parts. 我奶奶把蛋糕分成了4块。 The cake was divided into 4 parts. 这个蛋糕被分成了4块。 3.Each part starts with a solar term, or jieqi in Chinese. 每一部分都以一个节气开始，中文称为 “节气”。 （1）start意为“开始”，固定搭配start doing sth. = start to do sth. 开始做某事， 其它常考固定搭配：start with… 以……为开始，反义短语 end with… 以……为结束 （2）in + 语言，表示“使用某种语言”，如in Chinese 用中文，in English 用英语 The book is written in English. 这本书是用英语写的。 Tom and Jack often practise talking in Chinese. Tom和Jack经常练习用汉语交流。 Let’s start with her and we’ll see what we can do. 我们看看我们能做点什么，先从她开始。 4.The solar terms can fall on different dates. 这些节气随着季节和天气的变化而变化。 fall意为“落下”，有较多含义不同的短语搭配： fall down 摔倒; fall asleep 入睡 fall behind 落后; fall over 摔倒 You have to fall down many times before you will succeed. 在你成功前，你会跌倒很多次。 Study hard, or you will fall behind. 努力学习，不然你会落后的。 If you run too fast, you will fall over. 如果你跑太快，你会摔跤的。 The music was so comfortable that I almost fell asleep. 这首音乐太舒服了，以至于我差点就睡着了。 5.They sometimes move a day or two. 它们有时会移动一两天。 move意为“移动”，可以用来描述人、动物或物体的位置变换。例如，He moved the chair to the coner of the room. 他把椅子移动到房间的角落。 move的派生词有moved (adj.) 感动的， moving (adj.) 令人感动的 My best friend will move to another city to live. 我的好朋友将要搬去另一个城市居住。 I was moved when I heard of the story. 当我听到这个故事后我感到很感动。 This is a moving movie. 这是一部感人的电影。 6.For example. they help farmers decide when to plant their crops. 例如，它们可以帮助农民决定何时种植庄稼。 固定搭配：疑问词+to do ，如when to do 什么时候去做；how to do 如何做 Where to live is a problem. 住在哪里是个问题。 We must know what to say at a meeting. 我们必须知道在会议上说些什么。 I ask her how to learn English. 我问她如何学习英语。 7.The solar terms also play an important part in traditional Chinese culture. 节气在中国传统文化中也占有重要地位。 play an important part in… 意为“在……扮演重要的角色，在……中起重要作用“， 同义短语play an important role in… China plays an important part in the UN. 中国在联合国中扮演了重要的角色。 Planting trees plays an important part in protecting the environment. 植树在保护环境方面发挥着重要作用。 8.People celebrated these days in different ways in the past, such as eating special local dishes. 过去，人们用不同的方式庆祝这些日子，比如吃当地的特色菜。 way常见用法总结： ① “道路，路线”：on the way 在路上； in the way 阻挡路； ② “方式，方法”：in this way 以这种方式；in a way 在某种程度上； by the way 顺便；all the way 一路上，自始至终 1. On the way to school, I saw a beautiful bird. 在去学校的路上，我看到一只漂亮的鸟。 2. Don't stand in the way. 别挡道。 3. By the way, how is your family? 顺便问一下，你的家人怎么样？ 4.

In a way, he is right. 在某种程度上，他是对的。 9.He walked all the way home.（他一路走回家。）Many of these traditions continue in our times. 其中许多传统在当代仍在延续。 辨析：time 和 times time和times的用法和区别是：意思不同、用法不同、侧重点不同。time翻译为“时间”是不可数名词；times翻译为“次数，倍数，时代”是可数名词。 常考固定搭配：in time 及时 on time 准时 it’s time for sth. 是做……的时候了。 many times 很多次 Cross-curricular connection We have learnt about the four seasons in this unit, but why does the Earth have four seasons? Does every place on Earth have four seasons? Why do we have different seasons? As our planet moves around the Sun, the light from the Sun falls on the Earth from different directions. This helps create the seasons. At different times of year, there is more sunlight in some places, and less sunlight in others. More sunlight means longer days and warmer weather, and this is why we have spring and summer, It gets colder in autumn and winter because the days are shorter, and we get less light from the Sun (see the picture below ). The seasons fall at different times of year around the world. China is north of the equator. Here, we experience summer from June to August.South of the equator, June,July and August are winter months, In Australia, it is summer from December to February, and Australians have their spring when we have our autumn. The hottest and the coldest parts of the world don't have four seasons. It is always hot in places close to the equator, These places are called the tropics Instead of our four seasons, many parts of the tropics have a rainy season and a dry season. Around the North and South Poles, there are only two seasons too:a very, very cold winter and a somewhat less cold summer. 在本单元中我们已经学习了四季，但是地球为什么有四季呢? 地球上每个地方都有四季吗? 为什么我们有不同的季节? 当我们的星球绕着太阳运行时，来自太阳的光从不同的方向照射到地球上。这有助于产生季节变化。在一年中的不同时间，一些地方的日照更多，而另一些地方的日照更少。更多的日照意味着更长的白天和更温暖的天气，这就是为什么我们会有春天和夏天。在秋天和冬天，天气变得更加寒冷，这是因为白天变短，我们从太阳那里得到的光照变少(见下图)。 世界各地的季节在一年中的时间各不相同。中国在赤道以北。在这里，我们的夏天从6月开始到8月结束。在赤道以南，6月、7月和8月则是冬季在澳大利亚，从12月到次年2月是夏天，当我们过秋天的时候，澳大利亚人正过春天。 世界上最热和最冷的地方没有四季。靠近赤道的地方总是很热。这些地方被称为热带。与我们的四季不同，热带的许多地方只有雨季和旱季。在北极和南极周围，也只有两个季节:非常、非常寒冷的冬天和不那么冷的夏天。 一.根据句意及首字母提示写出单词 1.With the help of the __________ people,we found the hospital easily. 2.She couldn't ___________ which dress to wear for the party. 3.The __________ in the field grow very well.

It's all thanks to the end of Daylight Saving Time (DST, 夏令时). DST is used to save energy (能源) and make better use of daylight. One way to remember how it works is the saying “Spring ahead, fall back.” In the spring, clocks go forward one hour. This gives people more daylight. And in the fall, they go back one hour. This means it gets dark earlier. It causes people to go to bed earlier, saving energy from electricity (电) used by lights and TVs. But not all states and territories (领地) of Australia practice DST. Queensland, the Northern Territory, and Western Australia don't do Daylight Saving Time. Each place can decide if it wants to do it. For example, the north of Queensland has a tropical climate (热带气候). Some people there don't want an extra hour of sunlight in the summer, said ABC News. Did you know? DST is now used in over 70 countries worldwide and affects (影响) over one billion people every year, according to the website Time and Date. Most countries in Europe and North America practice it. China used DST from 1986 to 1991. 1.Why do the people use DST? A.They use it to enjoy an extra hour of sleep. B.They use it to go to bed earlier. C.They use it to waste energy from electricity used by lights and TVs. D.They use it to save energy and make better use of daylight. 2.What does “Spring ahead, fall back.” mean? A.In the spring and fall, clocks go forward one hour. B.In the spring, clocks go back one hour. And in the fall, they go forward one hour. C.In the spring, clocks go forward one hour. And in the fall, they go back one hour. D.In the spring and fall, clocks go back one hour. 3.How many countries use DST now? A.One billion countries. B.More than 70 countries.

C.Most countries in Europe and North America practice DST. D.China didn't use DST from 1986 to 1991. [语篇解读]　本文主要介绍了夏令时的使用情况。 1.D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“DST is used to save energy and make better use of daylight.”可知,夏令时的应用是为了节约能源和更好地利用日光。故选D。 2.C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In the spring, clocks go forward one hour.

Tom和Jack经常练习用汉语交流。 Let’s her and we’ll see what we can do. 我们看看我们能做点什么，先从她开始。 4.The solar terms can fall on different dates. 这些节气随着季节和天气的变化而变化。 fall意为“落下”，有较多含义不同的短语搭配： fall down 摔倒; fall asleep 入睡 fall behind 落后; fall over 摔倒 You have to many times before you will succeed. 在你成功前，你会跌倒很多次。 Study hard, or you will . 努力学习，不然你会落后的。 If you run too fast, you will . 如果你跑太快，你会摔跤的。 The music was so comfortable that I almost . 这首音乐太舒服了，以至于我差点就睡着了。 5.They sometimes move a day or two. 它们有时会移动一两天。 move意为“移动”，可以用来描述人、动物或物体的位置变换。例如，He moved the chair to the coner of the room. 他把椅子移动到房间的角落。 move的派生词有moved (adj.) 感动的， moving (adj.) 令人感动的 My best friend will to live. 我的好朋友将要搬去另一个城市居住。 I when I heard of the story. 当我听到这个故事后我感到很感动。 This is . 这是一部感人的电影。 6.For example. they help farmers decide when to plant their crops. 例如，它们可以帮助农民决定何时种植庄稼。 固定搭配：疑问词+to do ，如when to do 什么时候去做；how to do 如何做 is a problem. 住在哪里是个问题。 We must know at a meeting. 我们必须知道在会议上说些什么。 I ask her English. 我问她如何学习英语。 7.The solar terms also play an important part in traditional Chinese culture. 节气在中国传统文化中也占有重要地位。 play an important part in… 意为“在……扮演重要的角色，在……中起重要作用“， 同义短语play an important role in… China in the UN. 中国在联合国中扮演了重要的角色。 Planting trees plays protecting the environment. 植树在保护环境方面发挥着重要作用。 8.People celebrated these days in different ways in the past, such as eating special local dishes. 过去，人们用不同的方式庆祝这些日子，比如吃当地的特色菜。 way常见用法总结： ① “道路，路线”：on the way 在路上； in the way 阻挡路； ② “方式，方法”：in this way 以这种方式；in a way 在某种程度上； by the way 顺便；all the way 一路上，自始至终 1. the way to school, I saw a beautiful bird. 在去学校的路上，我看到一只漂亮的鸟。 2. Don't stand the way. 别挡道。 3. the way, how is your family? 顺便问一下，你的家人怎么样？ 4. We should solve the problem this way. 我们应该用这种方式解决问题。 5. a way, he is right. 在某种程度上，他是对的。 9.He walked all the way home.（他一路走回家。）Many of these traditions continue in our times. 其中许多传统在当代仍在延续。 辨析：time 和 times time和times的用法和区别是：意思不同、用法不同、侧重点不同。time翻译为“时间”是不可数名词；times翻译为“次数，倍数，时代”是可数名词。 常考固定搭配：in time 及时 on time 准时 it’s time for sth. 是做……的时候了。 many times 很多次 Cross-curricular connection We have learnt about the four seasons in this unit, but why does the Earth have four seasons? Does every place on Earth have four seasons? Why do we have different seasons? As our planet moves around the Sun, the light from the Sun falls on the Earth from different directions. This helps create the seasons. At different times of year, there is more sunlight in some places, and less sunlight in others. More sunlight means longer days and warmer weather, and this is why we have spring and summer, It gets colder in autumn and winter because the days are shorter, and we get less light from the Sun (see the picture below ). The seasons fall at different times of year around the world. China is north of the equator. Here, we experience summer from June to August.South of the equator, June,July and August are winter months, In Australia, it is summer from December to February, and Australians have their spring when we have our autumn. The hottest and the coldest parts of the world don't have four seasons. It is always hot in places close to the equator, These places are called the tropics Instead of our four seasons, many parts of the tropics have a rainy season and a dry season. Around the North and South Poles, there are only two seasons too:a very, very cold winter and a somewhat less cold summer. 在本单元中我们已经学习了四季，但是地球为什么有四季呢? 地球上每个地方都有四季吗? 为什么我们有不同的季节? 当我们的星球绕着太阳运行时，来自太阳的光从不同的方向照射到地球上。这有助于产生季节变化。在一年中的不同时间，一些地方的日照更多，而另一些地方的日照更少。更多的日照意味着更长的白天和更温暖的天气，这就是为什么我们会有春天和夏天。在秋天和冬天，天气变得更加寒冷，这是因为白天变短，我们从太阳那里得到的光照变少(见下图)。 世界各地的季节在一年中的时间各不相同。中国在赤道以北。在这里，我们的夏天从6月开始到8月结束。在赤道以南，6月、7月和8月则是冬季在澳大利亚，从12月到次年2月是夏天，当我们过秋天的时候，澳大利亚人正过春天。 世界上最热和最冷的地方没有四季。靠近赤道的地方总是很热。这些地方被称为热带。与我们的四季不同，热带的许多地方只有雨季和旱季。在北极和南极周围，也只有两个季节:非常、非常寒冷的冬天和不那么冷的夏天。 一.根据句意及首字母提示写出单词 1.With the help of the __________ people,we found the hospital easily. 2.She couldn't ___________ which dress to wear for the party. 3.The __________ in the field grow very well.

It's all thanks to the end of Daylight Saving Time (DST, 夏令时). DST is used to save energy (能源) and make better use of daylight. One way to remember how it works is the saying “Spring ahead, fall back.” In the spring, clocks go forward one hour. This gives people more daylight. And in the fall, they go back one hour. This means it gets dark earlier. It causes people to go to bed earlier, saving energy from electricity (电) used by lights and TVs. But not all states and territories (领地) of Australia practice DST. Queensland, the Northern Territory, and Western Australia don't do Daylight Saving Time. Each place can decide if it wants to do it. For example, the north of Queensland has a tropical climate (热带气候). Some people there don't want an extra hour of sunlight in the summer, said ABC News. Did you know? DST is now used in over 70 countries worldwide and affects (影响) over one billion people every year, according to the website Time and Date. Most countries in Europe and North America practice it. China used DST from 1986 to 1991. 1.Why do the people use DST? A.They use it to enjoy an extra hour of sleep. B.They use it to go to bed earlier. C.They use it to waste energy from electricity used by lights and TVs. D.They use it to save energy and make better use of daylight. 2.What does “Spring ahead, fall back.” mean? A.In the spring and fall, clocks go forward one hour. B.In the spring, clocks go back one hour. And in the fall, they go forward one hour. C.In the spring, clocks go forward one hour. And in the fall, they go back one hour. D.In the spring and fall, clocks go back one hour. 3.How many countries use DST now? A.One billion countries. B.More than 70 countries. C.Less than 70 countries. D.70 countries. 4.Which of the following sentences is TRUE? A.All states and territories of Australia practice DST. B.Western Australia often practices DST. C.Most countries in Europe and North America practice DST. D.China didn't use DST from 1986 to 1991. B The West Lake is a good place to visit. The scenery is different in different seasons.
