In fact, the year is divided into 24 parts, based on where the sun is in the sky. Each part starts with a solar term, or jieqi in Chinese. These solar terms follow the changes of the seasons and the weather. The “Start of Spring”, “Start of Summer”, “Start of Autumn” and “Start of Winter” divide the year into four seasons. Each of the seasons is then divided into six parts, and each part lasts about 15 days. The solar terms can fall on different dates. They sometimes move a day or two. The 24 solar terms are very useful in daily life. For example, they help farmers decide when to plant their crops. The solar terms also play an important part in traditional Chinese culture. People celebrated these days in different ways in the past, such as eating special local dishes. Many of these traditions continue in our times. For example, people still eat spring rolls and spring pancakes to celebrate the “Start of Spring”. 1．How many days does each season include (包括) according to the 24 solar terms? A．About 15 days.

Each of the seasons is then divided into six parts, and each part lasts about 15 days.”可知，每个季节被分为六个部分，每个部分大约15天，所以每个季节大约有90天。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据原文提到“People celebrated these days in different ways in the past... Many of these traditions continue in our times. For example, people still eat spring rolls and spring pancakes to celebrate the ‘Start of Spring’.”可知，此处说明现在人们庆祝节气的方式和过去不完全一样，该项与原文不符，故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“For example, they help farmers decide when to plant their crops.”可知，节气可以帮助农民决定何时种植作物，即可以指导人们的农事工作。故选D。 4．推理判断题。文章主要介绍了中国传统的二十四节气，这属于传统文化范畴。所以在看报纸时，这篇文章可能出现在“Tradition & Culture”（传统与文化）部分。故选C。 There are four seasons in a year.

What makes them change their colors? Leaves use sunlight, water and air to make food for the trees. This way of making food is called photosynthesis (光合作用). Photosynthesis is important to animals as well as plants. Some animals eat plants. Other animals eat these animals. Summer is playtime. For the leaves of many trees, however, it’s work, work, work! The sun is shining. The leaves are making food for the trees. The trees keep more than enough food deep inside. Leaves are green in summer because they are making food. Leaves also have orange, yellow, or brown colors inside them. During summer, those colors are covered by the green color. Many places get colder in autumn with shorter days and longer nights. Trees get less sunlight, so photosynthesis slows down. Over time, leaves stop making the green chemical (化学物质). The orange, yellow, and brown colors grow when that happens. Once it gets cold enough and ice appears at night, the trees drop their leaves. They do this to keep themselves safe. If the leaves are icy while still on the trees, the trees can be hurt. Trees that drop their leaves are bare (光秃秃) in winter. They use the food they save in summer to get through the cold days and nights. Spring comes before long. Ice and snow disappear and the rains come. The sun shines, and tiny leaves grow from branches. Once again , the leaves use sunlight, water and air to make food. The cycle begins again. 1．What is photosynthesis according to the passage? A．It is a way of growing leaves. B．It is a way of changing colors. C．It is a way to make food for plants. D．It is a way for animals to eat plants. 2．What stops leaves from making the green chemical in autumn? A．Less air in autumn.B．Less sunlight in autumn.C．Less water in autumn. D．Less time in autumn. 3．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A．The trees. B．The leaves. C．The colors. D．The animals. 4．What would be the best structure of the passage? A．①②③④⑤\\⑥B．①\\②③④⑤⑥ C．①\\②③④⑤\\⑥ D．①\\②③\\④\\⑤⑥ 5．What is the best title of the passage? A．The importance of the sunlight B．The trees in different seasons C．The colors of the tree leaves D．The changes of the four seasons 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文主要探讨树叶颜色变化的原因，介绍了光合作用对树叶的作用，以及不同季节树叶颜色变化和树木落叶等现象背后的原理。 1．细节理解题。根据“Leaves use sunlight, water and air to make food for the trees. This way of making food is called photosynthesis (光合作用).”可知，光合作用是树叶为树木制造食物的一种方式。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Many places get colder in autumn with shorter days and longer nights. Trees get less sunlight, so photosynthesis slows down. Over time, leaves stop making the green chemical (化学物质).”可知，秋天树木接受的阳光变少，光合作用减缓，树叶停止制造绿色化学物质，所以是秋天阳光变少导致的。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据“Once it gets cold enough and ice appears at night, the trees drop their leaves.”和“They do this to keep themselves safe.”可知，这里They指代前文的the trees，表示树木落叶是为了保护自己。故选A。 4．篇章结构题。通读原文可知，文章第一段提出树叶颜色不同及变化原因的问题，属于总起；第二至五段分别从光合作用、不同季节树叶的变化等方面进行阐述；第六段写春天到来树叶又开始新的循环，是总结。所以结构是总分总。故选C。 5．主旨大意题。通读原文可知，文章围绕树叶颜色展开，讲述了树叶颜色不同以及在不同季节变化的原因等内容，C选项“树叶的颜色”符合文章主旨。故选C。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 3 The seasons 单元话题阅读理解练习 Unit 3 The seasons单元话题：季节 本资料共10篇专题训练，从上到下依次按照难度分为基础语篇巩固练和重难语篇提升练 基础语篇巩固练 China is a very big country, so there are many different kinds of weather.

Leaves use sunlight, water and air to make food for the trees. This way of making food is called photosynthesis (光合作用). Photosynthesis is important to animals as well as plants. Some animals eat plants. Other animals eat these animals. Summer is playtime. For the leaves of many trees, however, it’s work, work, work! The sun is shining. The leaves are making food for the trees. The trees keep more than enough food deep inside. Leaves are green in summer because they are making food. Leaves also have orange, yellow, or brown colors inside them. During summer, those colors are covered by the green color. Many places get colder in autumn with shorter days and longer nights. Trees get less sunlight, so photosynthesis slows down. Over time, leaves stop making the green chemical (化学物质). The orange, yellow, and brown colors grow when that happens. Once it gets cold enough and ice appears at night, the trees drop their leaves. They do this to keep themselves safe. If the leaves are icy while still on the trees, the trees can be hurt. Trees that drop their leaves are bare (光秃秃) in winter. They use the food they save in summer to get through the cold days and nights. Spring comes before long. Ice and snow disappear and the rains come. The sun shines, and tiny leaves grow from branches. Once again , the leaves use sunlight, water and air to make food. The cycle begins again. 1．What is photosynthesis according to the passage? A．It is a way of growing leaves. B．It is a way of changing colors. C．It is a way to make food for plants.
