It is still a little warm, but it gets cooler and cooler. The days also get shorter and shorter. The leaves on the trees begin to turn yellow or red. The air is fresh. It’s a great season for children to play outside. What do children do in autumn in different countries? In China, students often have an autumn picnic. Usually, they go to an amusement park or out into nature. For example, children in Shenzhen like to climb mountains in Nanshan District. Most children also like to play football with their classmates. Japanese students often go hiking (徒步旅行) with their parents or classmates when the leaves are red or yellow. It is a perfect way to get exercise. Mountain climbing in nice weather is also a good choice (选择). For most children in the US, riding a bike is a good autumn activity. They like to take a mountain bike ride and find new roads. Playing in leaf piles (堆) is popular too. Children jump onto a leaf pile. They are happy to see the colourful leaves fly all around. They also make leaf rain. It’s all a lot of fun. In the UK, school children love to camp outside with their parents. They make food over the fire and tell ghost (鬼怪) stories. ( ) 1.

A. ①②/③④/⑤ B. ①②③④/⑤ C. ①②③/④/⑤ D. ①/②③④⑤ B Words: about 250 Time: 8 minutes 难易度 ★★★★★ About every 24 hours, the Earth makes a full rotation (自转). That is why the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west and the stars at night appear to move across the sky. But why does the Earth spin (旋转) in the first place? Interestingly, everything in the solar system spins, including the solar system itself. The Sun finishes a rotation once in about 25 days. The Earth finishes moving around the Sun once in about every 365 days, 6 hours and 9 minutes. And that’s why we have four seasons and twenty-four solar terms now. The Earth spins in the same direction as the Sun. Not only that, the Earth moves around the Sun in the same direction too. So do most others in the solar system. What’s more, every star is born from a cloud of gas and dust that moves through space. During the space journey, they meet other clouds like them. The force of gravity (重力) makes these clouds tug on (拉扯) one another. That makes them slowly rotate and even become a star. Everything—the star, the gas, the dust—all spins in the same way. The Earth’s spin is important for life, mainly because it makes day and night. It’s also important for ocean tides. Without the ocean tides, life on Earth would never have made its way from the sea onto land. So, scientists believe the Earth spins because the whole solar system is rotating when the Earth formed (形成). ( ) 1. How long does the Earth rotate once? A. In about 24 hours. B. In about 27 hours. C. In about 100 days. D. In about 365 days. ( ) 2. What can we learn from the passage? A. Life on Earth appeared on land at first. B. The Earth spins in a different direction from the Sun. C. The Earth has four seasons because of its rotation. D. The force of gravity plays a part in forming a star. ( ) 3. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. How stars form. B. Why the Earth spins. C. What the rotation is. D. When the Earth has four seasons. ( ) 4. Where can we probably find this passage? A. In a storybook. B. On a school poster. C. In a student’s diary. D. In a science magazine. 阅读填空：Words: about 240 Time: 6 minutes 难易度 ★★★☆☆ Cinyee Chiu, an artist from Taiwan, is always happy to try something new. Her wonderful works won lots of prizes.
