8A Unit 6主题阅读训练 阳光中学开展“四季巡礼”多模态探究项目，邀请学生们从文学艺术、科学、社会文化等多角度去设计研究课题以体验四季之美，发挥奇思妙想并学习知识。让我们来看看他们的研究成果吧！ I. 诗歌鉴赏 古今中外的诗人们从不吝啬自己的辞藻来赞美春天，但是Alice发现他们描绘的春天各有特色。你会如何描绘春天呢？ Spring is coming! The warmer weather and beautiful flowers make people happy, but also miss their loved ones. Let's see how Chinese poet Meng Haoran and the British poet Thomas Nashe talk about spring! Spring Morning By Meng Haoran This spring morning in bed I'm lying, Not to awake till birds are crying. After one night of wind and showers， How many are the fallen flowers! Spring, The Sweet Spring (excerpt) By Thomas Nashe Spring, the sweet spring, is the year's pleasant king, Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring, Cold doth not sting, the pretty birds do sing: Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo! Meng Haoran's short, lovely poem paints a quiet spring morning scene. Imagine waking up late on a spring day. You hear birds singing happily outside. The birds' songs and the soft morning light make the poet happy. Spring is full of life! But then you remember: last night, there was wind and rain. The storm reminds us that beautiful flowers can't stay on trees forever. So this poem isn't just about spring—it's about learning to love the world's beauty, even when it doesn't last. While Meng Haoran gently asks us to think about how quickly time passes, Thomas Nashe celebrates the season with joy and warmth. He paints a lively scene where both animals and people enjoy nature's beauty. The weather is warm, birds sing happily and maids dance in a ring. Everything feels peaceful and full of life. The poem's happy tone and musical rhythm express the poet's excitement for the coming of spring, which he calls "sweet". 1. What are the different feelings about spring in the two poems? 2. If you were to write something about spring, what emotions would you express? Try to write one sentence. 3. Complete a poem about summer in the form of Spring, The Sweet Spring shown above.（每空一词） II. 科学探究 David研究了夏秋更迭时天空颜色的秘密，让人感叹四季的变换真是充满了学问！ ① Is the sky bluer in autumn than in summer? The answer is yes! There are some reasons for this. ② The sun is lower in the sky in autumn. As the days get shorter, the sun appears lower and lower in the sky. It doesn't shine directly on us anymore. Instead, it is closer to the earth and more blue light is scattered. This makes the sky seem bluer. ③ In autumn, there is less water in the air, so there are fewer clouds. Autumn is known for good weather—cooler temperatures and less wet air. The air does not hold much water, so clouds do not form easily. When there are few or no clouds covering the sky, the blue colour of the sky shows more clearly, and the sky looks more open and brighter. ④ You might be surprised, but the colourful leaves of autumn actually help give the sky's blueness a colour boost, which can make the sky seem even bluer. If you've made a colour wheel for an art class, you know that blue and orange are opposite colours that look good together. The red, orange, and gold leaves of autumn make the blue sky stand out beautifully against them. This contrast looks nice and creates a special autumn view. ⑤ So, the next time you're out enjoying the beautiful weather in autumn, take a moment to look up at the sky, remember these reasons why it looks so blue and enjoy the view! 1. How does the writer lead into the topic in Paragraph 1? A. By asking a question. B. By telling a joke. C. By using an old saying. D. By making a survey. 2. Why does the sky look bluer in autumn according to Paragraph 2? A. Because the sun is shining directly on us. B. Because the sun is closer to the earth. C. Because the sun is smaller in the sky. D. Because the sun is covered by the clouds. 3. Which one shows the relationship between the water in the air (x) and the blue colour of the sky ? 4. What is the structure of the passage? A. ①/②③④/⑤　　B. ①/②③/④⑤　　C. ①②/③/④⑤　　D. ①②③/④/⑤ Question: Give an example of a scientific phenomenon that happens during the changes of seasons and try to explain why it happens.
