Well, Sanfu days, also known as the Chinese dog days of summer, mark the hottest days of summer. Sanfu days has three periods: Toufu, Zhongfu and Mofu. In Chinese, “fu” has the meaning of “hiding”. So the word is also a suggestion (建议) for people to stay at home to “hide” from the strong heat outdoors in summer. Sanfu days usually come between mid-July and mid-August. During this time, people follow different customs to deal with the heat and stay healthy. Now let’s have a look at some traditional Chinese ways of spending the dog days of summer. In Changsha, local people usually eat roosters (公鸡) during Sanfu days, especially during Toufu. That’s because it is always hot with heavy rainfall in summer. Local people believe that eating roosters can clear the wet in the body. And there is even an old saying that goes, “A rooster at the start of Sanfu days, a healthy body the whole year.” Besides, the practice of receiving Sanfutie, a kind of Sanfu medicinal patch (药用贴片), is also common in China during Sanfu days. Sanfutie is a bandage made of traditional Chinese herbal medicine (中草药). Many people use Sanfutie because it can fight some winter illnesses like coughing during the hottest summer days. 1．What is Sanfu also known as? 2．How many periods does Sanfu days have? 3．What’s the suggestion of the word “Fu” for people? 4．Why do people use Sanfutie during Sanfu days? 5．What will you do with the heat and stay healthy in Sanfu days?

During Meiyu period, it rains a lot. The rivers and lakes get more water. The abundant rainfall is essential for the growth of crops and plants. It provides the necessary water for rice fields, making the plants grow faster and better. The trees become greener and the flowers look more beautiful. Some small animals come out to enjoy the wetland. Moreover, the cool weather during Meiyu can be quite pleasant, as it relieves the heat of the coming summer. However, Meiyu also has its disadvantages. The constant rain can cause inconvenience in people’s daily lives. The high humidity (湿度) in the air can make people feel uncomfortable. People in this area have to carry umbrellas with them all the time. Meiyu also makes the roads wet and slippery, increasing the risk of accidents. Clothes and furniture may also get moldy (发霉的) if not properly dried. In addition, too much rainfall may lead to flooding in some low-lying areas, endangering the safety of people and property.

The traditional Chinese solar calendar (日历) divides the year into twenty-four solar terms (节气). Minor Snow (小雪), the 20th solar term of the year, begins on November 22 this year. Here are a few things you should know about Minor Snow. Wearing hats and scarves In China, starting in Minor Snow, the wind blows (吹；刮) from the northeast a lot.

It’s necessary (必要的) to wear hats and scarves to keep one’s head warm. Drinking soup During Minor Snow, the air in the houses is dry and most people may find their nose and mouth feel a bit dry. This will cause (导致) “inner heat” in one’s body. The key is to drink more hot soup. Eating rice cake In some areas of South China, people eat rice cakes around Minor Snow. In ancient times (在古代), rice cakes were a traditional festival offering (祭品) to the bull god (牛神).

The people in Yancheng, Jiangsu province, have welcomed Minor Snow with making pickled vegetables. In addition (此外), we like to eat hot and spicy (辣的) food to keep warm.

It’s Raining Fish! When it rains heavily, we can say “It’s raining cats and dogs.” However, on December 29, 2021, for the people in Texarkana (德克萨卡纳), U.S.A．, it was “raining fish.” And no—this isn’t a joke. On that day, a storm hit the town. It left a lot of small fish on the ground. This may sound like fake news. However, there have been similar reports of such strange weather throughout history. In 2017, people in California, U.S.A．, saw fish falling from the clouds over a primary school. In 1921, frogs fell from the sky over a city in Canada. As early as 2,000 years ago, a Roman writer wrote about storms of frogs and fish. So, how do these strange events happen? According to scientists, they are caused by waterspouts (水龙卷). Waterspouts are tornadoes (龙卷风) that form or travel over open water. The fast wind inside them lifts water up into the clouds. At the same time, some light fish or frogs are lifted up, too. The wind carries the animals and water over the land. When the energy of the wind starts to fall, so do the animals and water. As a result—yes, you’ve guessed it—it “rains” animals. 1．What unusual weather event took place in Texarkana on December 29, 2021? 2．According to the article, what strange weather event happened in California in 2017? 3．Strange weather events only happened in recent years, didn’t they? 4．What do scientists believe to be the cause of these strange weather events? 5．According to the article，how does it “rain” animals in strange weather events? 【答案】1．It rained fish on that day. 2．Fish fell from the clouds over a primary school. 3．No, they didn’t. 4．Waterspouts. 5．When the fast wind inside waterspouts lifts water up into the clouds, it lifts up some light fish or frogs, too. The wind carries the animals and water over the land. When the energy of the wind starts to fall, so do the animals and water. 【导语】本文主要介绍了“天降鱼雨”等奇异天气现象的真实案例，并解释其成因：这是由水龙卷将水中的小鱼、青蛙等卷上天空，待风力减弱后随雨降落到地面所导致。 1．根据第一段“on December 29, 2021…it was ‘raining fish’”可知，得克萨斯州当天发生的异常天气是“下鱼”。故填It rained fish on that day. 2．根据第二段“In 2017, people in California, U.S.A., saw fish falling from the clouds over a primary school.”可知，2017年，美国加利福尼亚州的人们在一所小学上空看到了鱼从云层中掉下来。故填Fish fell from the clouds over a primary school. 3．根据第二段“there have been similar reports of such strange weather throughout history.”及“As early as 2,000 years ago, a Roman writer wrote about storms of frogs and fish.”可知，历史上一直有类似报道，且早在2000年前罗马作家就记录过，可推测异常天气并非只发生在近年，则该一般疑问句应做否定回答。故填No, they didn’t. 4．根据第三段“According to scientists, they are caused by waterspouts”可知，科学家认为这种异常天气是由水龙卷导致的。故填Waterspouts. 5．通读第三段可知，第三段详细解释了“下动物”的过程：水龙卷的强风将水和轻量级动物卷入云层→风携带它们越过陆地→风力减弱时，动物和水一同落下。故填When the fast wind inside waterspouts lifts water up into the clouds, it lifts up some light fish or frogs, too. The wind carries the animals and water over the land. When the energy of the wind starts to fall, so do the animals and water. Tianchi Weather Station is on the Changbai Mountain in Jilin.

If people want to know the weather, they can watch the animals. When the weather is not good, seabirds will stay on the shore (海岸). They don’t like to fly in the strong wind. They may stay in a tree when heavy rain is coming. But when people see seabirds flying high in the sky, they know it will be a sunny day. When the rain is on the way, the ants will move their houses from the low places to the high places, because they worry that rain will submerge (浸没) their homes. When it’s going to rain, the frogs will stay in the water and make big noise with “croak, croak”. But if it is a fine day, the frogs will be out of the water and make a big noise. People living on the farm can also watch the animals to tell the weather. When heavy rain is coming, the chickens will make a big noise with “peep, peep” and run here and there. 1．What may the seabirds do when the weather is sunny? 2．Why are ants moving their houses to the high places when the rain is on the way? 3．Where will the frogs stay when it’s going to rain? 4．What may the weather be like when the chickens run here and there? 5．What other animals can tell us what the weather will be like?

During Meiyu period, it rains a lot. The rivers and lakes get more water. The abundant rainfall is essential for the growth of crops and plants. It provides the necessary water for rice fields, making the plants grow faster and better. The trees become greener and the flowers look more beautiful. Some small animals come out to enjoy the wetland. Moreover, the cool weather during Meiyu can be quite pleasant, as it relieves the heat of the coming summer. However, Meiyu also has its disadvantages. The constant rain can cause inconvenience in people’s daily lives. The high humidity (湿度) in the air can make people feel uncomfortable. People in this area have to carry umbrellas with them all the time. Meiyu also makes the roads wet and slippery, increasing the risk of accidents. Clothes and furniture may also get moldy (发霉的) if not properly dried. In addition, too much rainfall may lead to flooding in some low-lying areas, endangering the safety of people and property. Although Meiyu may bring some troubles, it is also an important part of the climate in the South of the Yangtze River, showing a unique charm of this season. 1．When does Meiyu usually come? 2．How is the weather during Meiyu? 3．What happens to the plants during Meiyu? 4．Why do people feel uncomfortable? 5．What do you think of Meiyu?（请自拟一句话作答） 能力综合实践4篇 请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容回答问题。 It’s 3: 00 p.m. now.

Here are a few things you should know about Minor Snow. Wearing hats and scarves In China, starting in Minor Snow, the wind blows (吹；刮) from the northeast a lot. Many people do not wear hats or scarves yet. In fact, according to an old Chinese saying, “the head is the place where all passages of the body gather”. It’s necessary (必要的) to wear hats and scarves to keep one’s head warm. Drinking soup During Minor Snow, the air in the houses is dry and most people may find their nose and mouth feel a bit dry. This will cause (导致) “inner heat” in one’s body. The key is to drink more hot soup. Eating rice cake In some areas of South China, people eat rice cakes around Minor Snow. In ancient times (在古代), rice cakes were a traditional festival offering (祭品) to the bull god (牛神). Making pickled (腌制) vegetables and pork After Minor Snow, because of low temperature (温度) and dry air. It is the best time to start making preserved pork (腊肉), which by the Chinese Spring Festival would be ready to enjoy. The people in Yancheng, Jiangsu province, have welcomed Minor Snow with making pickled vegetables. In addition (此外), we like to eat hot and spicy (辣的) food to keep warm. However, it’s not wise to eat much spicy food because that will increase inner heat. This year’s Minor Snow is coming. Wish you to be surrounded by (被……包围) a life full of warmth. 1．When does Minor Snow begin this year? 2．How do people keep head warm in Minor Snow? 3．What is the key to avoid (避免) causing “inner heat”? 4．Where do people eat rice cakes around Minor Snow? 5．What do you think of eating spicy food during Minor Snow? (请自拟一句话作答) It’s Raining Fish! When it rains heavily, we can say “It’s raining cats and dogs.” However, on December 29, 2021, for the people in Texarkana (德克萨卡纳), U.S.A．, it was “raining fish.” And no—this isn’t a joke. On that day, a storm hit the town. It left a lot of small fish on the ground. This may sound like fake news. However, there have been similar reports of such strange weather throughout history. In 2017, people in California, U.S.A．, saw fish falling from the clouds over a primary school. In 1921, frogs fell from the sky over a city in Canada. As early as 2,000 years ago, a Roman writer wrote about storms of frogs and fish. So, how do these strange events happen? According to scientists, they are caused by waterspouts (水龙卷). Waterspouts are tornadoes (龙卷风) that form or travel over open water. The fast wind inside them lifts water up into the clouds. At the same time, some light fish or frogs are lifted up, too. The wind carries the animals and water over the land. When the energy of the wind starts to fall, so do the animals and water. As a result—yes, you’ve guessed it—it “rains” animals. 1．What unusual weather event took place in Texarkana on December 29, 2021? 2．According to the article, what strange weather event happened in California in 2017? 3．Strange weather events only happened in recent years, didn’t they? 4．What do scientists believe to be the cause of these strange weather events? 5．According to the article，how does it “rain” animals in strange weather events?
