三、阅读理解
Everybody knows that there are usually four seasons in a year. But do you know how the four seasons come?
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 the year, there is more sunlight in some places and less sunlight in others. More sunlight means longer days and warmer weather. 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.
The seasons fall at different times of the year around the world. For example, China is to the north of the equator (赤道). Here, we experience summer from June to August. To the 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.
Not all places in the world have four seasons like ours. The hottest and the coldest parts of the world usually have only two seasons. It is always hot in places close to the equator. These places are the tropics (热带地区). Instead of our four seasons, many parts of the tropics have a rainy season and a dry season. People will never experience winter in these areas. Around the North and South Poles, there are only two seasons too: a very, very cold winter and a somewhat (稍微) less cold summer.

“Why do you love spring?” Grandma asked. The girl answered, “I love the beautiful flowers, baby birds, and the sunshine.”
“Isn’t it nice that we have different seasons? Imagine if it is always the same season,” Grandma said.
“I wouldn’t like that. I don’t want to have snow on the ground all year long. I don’t want to have autumn leaves all the time, either. I like it when the seasons are different. If it was winter all the time, we’d never have butterflies (蝴蝶),” the girl replied.
Then they saw two butterflies and her grandma explained something about the different butterflies so that the girl knew it better. “We can see the river from here. Look at the fish swimming about ín it. They are all fish, but some have more orange and some have more white. They are different. That’s what makes everything unusual and beautiful.

Summer in your country may not be the same as summer in other countries. Summer is different all around the world!
Summer happens at different times in different places. In the Northern Hemisphere, the half of the Earth above the equator (赤道), summer is in the months of June, July and August. But in the Southern hemisphere, the half of the Earth below the equator, summer happens in December, January and February. So when Chinese people are enjoying their summer wearing shorts and T-shirts, the Australians are having a cold time with heavy clothes on.
The time the sun rises and sets is different around the world, too. In places that are in the extreme north or south of the Earth (such as the North Pole), you can see the sun 24 hours a day during summer! This is called the ‘midnight sun because you can see the sun at midnight (even at 1:00 am) during the summer.
The weather can be different in summer as well. In countries with tropical climates, such as Thailand or Singapore, the weather in summer is very hot and humid with lots of rain. In countries like Spain, things are different. The temperature can be very high. It’s not surprising to be over 40℃. And there is little rain in Spain. But summer is not always hot. In some countries like Iceland, the average summer temperature is around 15℃.
Even the sounds of summer are different! In some countries such as China, you can hear the really loud buzzing sound of Cicadas (蝉) all summer long.
Summer traditions are also different all around the world. And in Mexico, people eat ice hollies called palates that can be made from fruits such as strawberry, mango and stuff. In Japan, people eat flavored shaved ice (刨冰) called Kakigori and cold noodles in the hot summer weather.
1.Does summer happen at different times in different places?
2.How long can you see the sun in a day in North Pole during summer?
3.What’s the weather like in summer in Spain?
4.Of all the countries in the passage, which do you want to spend your summer holiday in? Why? (Give two reasons.)

三、阅读理解
Everybody knows that there are usually four seasons in a year. But do you know how the four seasons come?
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 the year, there is more sunlight in some places and less sunlight in others. More sunlight means longer days and warmer weather. 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.
The seasons fall at different times of the year around the world. For example, China is to the north of the equator (赤道). Here, we experience summer from June to August. To the 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.
Not all places in the world have four seasons like ours. The hottest and the coldest parts of the world usually have only two seasons. It is always hot in places close to the equator. These places are the tropics (热带地区). Instead of our four seasons, many parts of the tropics have a rainy season and a dry season. People will never experience winter in these areas. Around the North and South Poles, there are only two seasons too: a very, very cold winter and a somewhat (稍微) less cold summer.
1.In which seasons are the days shorter?
A.Spring and summer. B.Spring and autumn.
C.Summer and autumn. D.Autumn and winter.
2.When is winter in Australia?
A.It’s from December to February. B.It’s from March to May.
C.It’s from June to August. D.It’s from September to November.
3.How does the writer show the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A.By giving examples. B.By telling stories.
C.By asking questions. D.By listing numbers.
4.What can we know from Paragraph 4?
A.All places in the world have four seasons.
B.The tropics are the hottest parts of the world.
C.It is always sunny and dry in many parts of the tropics.
D.The North and South Poles have a very cold winter and a very hot summer.
5.What is the text mainly about?
A.Seasons. B.Months. C.Weather. D.World.

Summer lasts from June to August and attracts the most tourists due to the warm weather. The beautiful gardens come to life and there are lots of cultural festivals held in the season. In Moscow,temperatures often rise into the 30°C. Sometimes it can be chilly (阴冷的) because of the sudden rain.During these months, you can follow the Russians who travel south to enjoy the beautiful Black Sea and Altai Mountains.

Then they saw two butterflies and her grandma explained something about the different butterflies so that the girl knew it better. “We can see the river from here.

阅读下文并回答问题。
Summer in your country may not be the same as summer in other countries. Summer is different all around the world!
Summer happens at different times in different places. In the Northern Hemisphere, the half of the Earth above the equator (赤道), summer is in the months of June, July and August. But in the Southern hemisphere, the half of the Earth below the equator, summer happens in December, January and February. So when Chinese people are enjoying their summer wearing shorts and T-shirts, the Australians are having a cold time with heavy clothes on.
The time the sun rises and sets is different around the world, too. In places that are in the extreme north or south of the Earth (such as the North Pole), you can see the sun 24 hours a day during summer! This is called the ‘midnight sun because you can see the sun at midnight (even at 1:00 am) during the summer.
The weather can be different in summer as well. In countries with tropical climates, such as Thailand or Singapore, the weather in summer is very hot and humid with lots of rain. In countries like Spain, things are different. The temperature can be very high. It’s not surprising to be over 40℃. And there is little rain in Spain. But summer is not always hot. In some countries like Iceland, the average summer temperature is around 15℃.
Even the sounds of summer are different! In some countries such as China, you can hear the really loud buzzing sound of Cicadas (蝉) all summer long.
Summer traditions are also different all around the world. And in Mexico, people eat ice hollies called palates that can be made from fruits such as strawberry, mango and stuff. In Japan, people eat flavored shaved ice (刨冰) called Kakigori and cold noodles in the hot summer weather.
1.Does summer happen at different times in different places?
2.How long can you see the sun in a day in North Pole during summer?
3.What’s the weather like in summer in Spain?
4.Of all the countries in the passage, which do you want to spend your summer holiday in? Why? (Give two reasons.)
【答案】1.Yes. 2.24 hours. 3.In summer, the temperature can be very high and there is little rain in Spain. 4.I want to spend my summer holiday in Iceland. Because the temperature in Iceland in summer is moderate, neither too hot nor too cold.
【导语】本文主要介绍了不同地方的夏天各不相同。
1.根据“Summer happens at different times in different places.”可知,夏天在不同的时间发生在不同的地方,此处应做肯定回答。故填Yes.
2.根据“In places that are in the extreme north or south of the Earth (such as the North Pole), you can see the sun 24 hours a day during summer!”可知,在地球的极北或极南的地方(如北极),你可以在夏天一天24小时看到太阳。故填24 hours.
3.根据“In countries like Spain, things are different. The temperature can be very high. It’s not surprising to be over 40℃. And there is little rain in Spain.”可知,西班牙夏天气温可能很高,很少下雨。故填In summer, the temperature can be very high and there is little rain in Spain.
4.本题属于开放性试题,言之有理即可。参考答案:I want to spend my summer holiday in Iceland. Because the temperature in Iceland in summer is moderate, neither too hot nor too cold.

【导语】本文主要讲述了不同地区季节的变化及其对动植物产生的影响。
1.句意:在许多地方,天气在一年中会发生变化。根据备选词汇和下文“These changes are called seasons.”可推知,此处表示天气会变化。动词change“改变”符合语境,此处表示客观事实,应用一般现在时,主语“the weather”是不可数名词,所以空格处应填change的第三人称单数形式changes。故填changes。

5.句意:天气更冷,并且在一些地方,一切都被白雪覆盖。根据备选词汇和“everything...white snow”可知,此处表示一切都被白雪覆盖。短语be covered with“被……覆盖”符合语境,此处表示客观事实,应用一般现在时,主语“everything”表示单数,所以应用be动词is。故填is covered with。

【答案】范文:
Dear David,
I’m very glad that you will come to visit China. You asked me about the weather in China.
There are four seasons—spring, summer, autumn and winter. Summer is the hottest season of the year. It often rains heavily. And winter is the coldest. Sometimes it snows, especially in the north of China. If you like snow, you can come at this time of year. But I think the best time to visit China is spring or autumn because the weather is not too cold or too hot. It’s very pleasant to visit many places of interest in China, such as the Great Wall, the West Lake and Mount Tai.
I hope you can come soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
