The Master of Nets Garden is full of different kinds of trees. Each of them blooms (开花) in a different season. The view of this garden changes according to the time of year.
Rain should not be a problem. It shouldn’t stop you from enjoying your stay in Suzhou. Instead, many would say the classical gardens are at their best in rain or heavy fog.

When the leaves begin to change their colours and the birds head south, we know the season is getting to change. On September 7th comes White Dew, the 15th solar term of the year. It indicates (暗示) the beginning of the cool autumn. As the temperature falls, white dew is often seen on the grass and trees at night.
For writers and poets, autumn is a difficult season to describe. It’s the end of the summer, and therefore a little sad. The days seem to get shorter, and when you wake in the morning, there’s mist (薄雾) and it’s cooler. Winter is just around the corner.
American writer Ernest Hemingway wrote in his book A Moveable Feast, “You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare (光秃秃的) against the wind and the cold, wintry light.”
But on the other hand autumn has its good side. There are so many changes at this time of year, such as the colourful leaves and cooler nights. French writer Albert Camus even thought autumn was a second spring, “when every leaf is a flower”. This view is also found in the most famous autumn poem in English literature, To Autumn by John Keats. In that poem, Keats said that autumn had its own songs, just like spring.
Another theme of this season is wisdom. The arrival of autumn is thought to be similar to a person becoming mature (成熟的).
The great Irish poet WB Yeats used this idea in his poem The Wild Swans at Coole, writing about the changing seasons in Coole Park in the west of Ireland. Seeing and counting 59 swans, he remembers first making the count as a young man. Seeing the swans do the same thing for all those years, he’s reminded that even though we get older, our hearts always stay the same age.
44. What can we know about White Dew from the passage?
A. It is often talked about by writers and poets.
B. It is the time of year with the most rainfall.
C. It is when the temperature begins to drop.
D. It indicates the end of the autumn.
45. What does “this idea” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Autumn is an important season for man. B. We can always stay young at heart.
C. Autumn is related to one’s growing old. D. Nature is full of lessons to be learned.
46. What’s the article mainly about?
A. The solar term White Dew. B. Why autumn is a sad season.
C. Autumn weather and activities. D. Famous writers’ description of autumn.
C
A loud noise wakes Jan up suddenly. She looks at the alarm clock beside the bed.
It’s five o’clock. Then she hears the noise again. It’s thunder. Then she hears a different noise. It’s the sound of something hitting the window. She gets up and goes to the window. She can see Tom standing outside in the rain. He’s shouting at Jan to tell her to come outside.
Jan gets dressed, puts on her jacket, and goes downstairs quietly, trying not to wake Tom’s parents.
“What are you doing, Tom?”
“The storm!” he says. “It’s the same storm as Thursday night’s. Let’s go to the tree. Maybe you can go home!”
Jan follows Tom down the road and then she remembers something.
“The time capsule (时间胶囊)!”
Tom shows her the biscuit tin under his jacket. “I’ve got it.” And now maybe there’s the possibility that she can return to the future. Soon they come to the river and then the old building. They run up the path through the trees and arrive at the piece of land with the apple tree.
“Now what do we do?” asks Jan.
“I put the time capsule back where I found it and…”
“And I go home.”
“Yes.”
Tom uses his hands to dig a hole by the tree. He buries the time capsule and then stands up.
Jan suddenly thinks of something. “Tom! I want to give you something from the time capsule.”
“No, I don’t want anything. It’s more important for you to go home.”
Jan feels sad that Tom doesn’t want anything to remember her. But he’s right. The important thing is to get home.
“I’m never going to forget you, Tom. Thanks. You’re a real friend.”
“I promise.” Then he turns and runs back to the trees. Jan watches his shadow disappear into the trees.

____54____ 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 called the tropics. Instead of our four seasons, many parts of the tropics have a rainy season and a dry season. ____55____ Around the North and South Poles, there are only two seasons too: a very, very cold winter and a somewhat less cold summer.
A. This is why we have spring and summer.
B. To the south of the equator, June, July and August are winter months.
C. But do you know the colours of the four seasons?
D People will never experience winter in these areas.

When the leaves begin to change their colours and the birds head south, we know the season is getting to change. On September 7th comes White Dew, the 15th solar term of the year. It indicates (暗示) the beginning of the cool autumn. As the temperature falls, white dew is often seen on the grass and trees at night.
For writers and poets, autumn is a difficult season to describe. It’s the end of the summer, and therefore a little sad. The days seem to get shorter, and when you wake in the morning, there’s mist (薄雾) and it’s cooler. Winter is just around the corner.
American writer Ernest Hemingway wrote in his book A Moveable Feast, “You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare (光秃秃的) against the wind and the cold, wintry light.”
But on the other hand, autumn has its good side. There are so many changes at this time of year, such as the colourful leaves and cooler nights. French writer Albert Camus even thought autumn was a second spring, “when every leaf is a flower”. This view is also found in the most famous autumn poem in English literature, To Autumn by John Keats. In that poem, Keats said that autumn had its own songs, just like spring.
Another theme of this season is wisdom. The arrival of autumn is thought to be similar to a person becoming mature (成熟的).
The great Irish poet WB Yeats used this idea in his poem The Wild Swans at Coole writing about the changing seasons in Coole Park in the west of Ireland. Seeing and counting 59 swans, he remembers first making the count as a young man. Seeing the swans do the same thing for all those years, he’s reminded that even though we get older, our hearts always stay the same age.
44. What can we know about White Dew from the passage?
A. It is often talked about by writers and poets.
B. It is the time of year with the most rainfall.
C. It is when the temperature begins to drop.
D. It indicates the end of the autumn.
45. What does “this idea” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Autumn is an important season for man. B. We can always stay young at heart.
C. Autumn is related to one’s growing old. D. Nature is full of lessons to be learned.
46. What’s the article mainly about?
A. The solar term White Dew. B. Why autumn is a sad season.
C. Autumn weather and activities. D. Famous writers’ description of autumn.
【答案】44. C 45. C 46. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了不同作家对秋天的描述,包括海明威、加缪、济慈和叶芝等作家对秋天的感受和看法。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据“On September 7th comes White Dew, the 15th solar term of the year. It indicates (暗示) the beginning of the cool autumn. As the temperature falls, white dew is often seen on the grass and trees at night.”可知,白露到来时气温开始下降,夜晚草和树上常能看到白露。故选C。
【45题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“Another theme of this season is wisdom. The arrival of autumn is thought to be similar to a person becoming mature (成熟的). The great Irish poet WB Yeats used this idea in his poem The Wild Swans at Coole”可知,这个季节的另一个主题是智慧。人们认为秋天的到来就如同一个人走向成熟。伟大的爱尔兰诗人叶芝在他的诗作《库勒的野天鹅》中运用了这一观点。最后一段中“this idea”指的是秋天与人的变老息息相关。故选C。
【46题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了不同作家对秋天的描述,包括海明威、加缪、济慈和叶芝等作家对秋天的感受和看法。故选D。
C
A loud noise wakes Jan up suddenly. She looks at the alarm clock beside the bed.
It’s five o’clock. Then she hears the noise again. It’s thunder. Then she hears a different noise. It’s the sound of something hitting the window. She gets up and goes to the window. She can see Tom standing outside in the rain. He’s shouting at Jan to tell her to come outside.
Jan gets dressed, puts on her jacket, and goes downstairs quietly, trying not to wake Tom’s parents.
“What are you doing, Tom?”
“The storm!” he says. “It’s the same storm as Thursday night’s. Let’s go to the tree. Maybe you can go home!”
Jan follows Tom down the road and then she remembers something.
“The time capsule (时间胶囊)!”
Tom shows her the biscuit tin under his jacket. “I’ve got it.” And now maybe there’s the possibility that she can return to the future. Soon they come to the river and then the old building. They run up the path through the trees and arrive at the piece of land with the apple tree.
“Now what do we do?” asks Jan.
“I put the time capsule back where I found it and…”
“And I go home.”
“Yes.”
Tom uses his hands to dig a hole by the tree. He buries the time capsule and then stands up.
Jan suddenly thinks of something. “Tom! I want to give you something from the time capsule.”
“No, I don’t want anything. It’s more important for you to go home.”
Jan feels sad that Tom doesn’t want anything to remember her. But he’s right. The important thing is to get home.
“I’m never going to forget you, Tom. Thanks. You’re a real friend.”
“I promise.” Then he turns and runs back to the trees. Jan watches his shadow disappear into the trees.
——The Time Capsule
47. Jan wakes up suddenly because ________.
A. Tom is shouting at her B. there is thunder outside
C. something is hitting the window D. the sound of the alarm clock is too loud
48. What does the underlined part mean in the passage?

A abc B. abd C. acd D. bcd
50. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Jan digs a hole by the tree by herself.
B. Jan gives Tom something to remember her.
C. Jan lives in Tom’s home before she goes back home.
D. Jan and Tom haven’t seen each other for a long time.
【答案】47. B 48. C 49. D 50. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了Jan在暴风雨夜被雷声惊醒后,跟随Tom通过埋藏时间胶囊尝试返回未来的故事,展现了两人的友谊与分别的不舍。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据“A loud noise wakes Jan up suddenly…Then she hears the noise again. It’s thunder.”可知,Jan突然醒来是因为外面的雷声。故选B。
【48题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“No, I don’t want anything. It’s more important for you to go home.”可知,Jan回家是最重要的,所以划线部分的意思是Tom希望Jan尽快回家。故选C。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据“It’s the same storm as Thursday night’s. Let’s go to the tree. Maybe you can go home!” 可知,这场暴风雨是Jan能尝试回家的前提条件;根据“I put the time capsule back where I found it and… And I go home”可知,埋藏时间胶囊是Jan回家的关键操作;根据“arrive at the piece of land with the apple tree…Tom uses his hands to dig a hole by the tree. He buries the time capsule”可知,苹果树是埋藏时间胶囊的位置,是完成操作的必要场所。所以Jan回家需要苹果树、时间胶囊和暴风雨,对应选项b、c、d。故选D。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Jan gets dressed, puts on her jacket, and goes downstairs quietly, trying not to wake Tom’s parents.”可推测,Jan在回家前是住在Tom家的。故选C。

Everybody knows that there are usually four seasons in a year. ____51____
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 a year, there is more sunlight in some places and less sunlight in others. More sunlight means longer days and warmer weather. ____52____ 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 year around the world. For example, China is to the north of the equator. Here, we experience summer from June to August. ____53____ In Australia, it is summer from December to February, and Australians have their spring when we have our autumn.
____54____ 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 called the tropics. Instead of our four seasons, many parts of the tropics have a rainy season and a dry season. ____55____ Around the North and South Poles, there are only two seasons too: a very, very cold winter and a somewhat less cold summer.
A. This is why we have spring and summer.
B. To the south of the equator, June, July and August are winter months.
C. But do you know the colours of the four seasons?
D. People will never experience winter in these areas.
E. But do you know how the four seasons are formed?
F. Not all places in the world have four seasons like ours.
【答案】51. E 52. A 53. B 54. F 55. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了地球上四季的形成原因,以及不同地区四季的分布特点,包括赤道附近和极地地区与常规四季的差异。
【51题详解】
上文提到“Everybody knows that there are usually four seasons in a year.”,接着下文解释了地球绕太阳运行导致阳光照射角度变化,从而形成四季。因此,此处应是一个引出四季成因的问题。选项E“但是你知道四季是如何形成的吗?”符合语境。故选E。
【52题详解】
上文说“More sunlight means longer days and warmer weather.”,这显然与春夏季节相关;下文则讲到秋冬变冷是因为日照减少。因此,此处应总结阳光多带来的结果,即春夏的出现。选项A“这就是我们有春天和夏天的原因。”符合语境。故选A。
【53题详解】
前一句提到“China is to the north of the equator. Here, we experience summer from June to August.”,后一句讲澳大利亚的夏季是12月至2月,说明南北半球季节相反。选项B“赤道以南,6月、7月和8月是冬季。”符合语境。故选B。
【54题详解】
下文提到“The hottest and the coldest parts of the world usually have only two seasons.”,由此推知,此处应该是一个过渡句,选项F“世界上并非所有地方都像我们一样有四个季节。”符合语境。故选F。
【55题详解】
上文提到热带地区“Instead of our four seasons, many parts of the tropics have a rainy season and a dry season.”,说明这些地方没有传统意义上的四季,尤其没有寒冷的冬季。选项D“这些地区的人们永远不会经历冬天。” 符合语境。故选D。

【答案】
例文
In our Biology Explorers Club, we are deeply concerned about the endangered animals around the world. One animal that particularly worries us is the Asian elephant. These gentle giants have grey skin, big ears, and long trunks. They live in forests and grasslands in Asia, often traveling in groups. They eat plants, fruits, and sometimes crops.
However, their survival is threatened. Human activities, such as cutting forests for farming and building roads, destroy their habitats. Worse still, illegal hunting for ivory continues, despite strict laws. Now, only about 50,000 Asian elephants remain in the wild.
To protect them, governments should create more nature reserves and strengthen anti-poaching laws. Meanwhile, raising public awareness about refusing ivory products is crucial. Let’s act now before these magnificent creatures disappear forever!
