通读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后在各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出一个最佳选项。
In many parts of the world, spring is a season of new beginnings. Flowers bloom, birds sing, and the world seems to wake up after a long winter sleep. But for some people, spring also brings a few troubles.
As the weather gets 11______, people often feel more energetic. They want to go outside and enjoy the fresh air. However, spring is also the time when allergies (过敏) are at their worst. Pollen (花粉) from trees and flowers fills the air, making many people sneeze and cough. For those with allergies, spring is not always a 12______ time.
Despite the discomfort, spring has a magical quality. After the grey and white of winter, the first splash of colour is always exciting. The grass turns green, and trees begin to grow new 13______. It is a season of hope and renewal. In the countryside, farmers are busy 14______ seeds in the fields, knowing that their hard work now will lead to a harvest in autumn.
Spring is also a time for thorough cleaning. Many families do "spring cleaning", which means they open their windows, let in the fresh air, and clean their houses from top to bottom. It is a way to 15______ the old and welcome the new.
For children, spring means no more heavy winter coats and more time to play outside. Parks are filled with the sounds of laughter. They can ride bikes, fly kites, and play football on the soft grass. The days get longer, giving them more daylight hours to enjoy after school.
In poetry and literature, spring is often described as a lively young girl—full of vitality and beauty. It represents youth and endless possibilities. However, spring weather can be unpredictable. One day it might be sunny and warm, and the next day it could be cold and rainy. This changeable weather reminds us that nature has its own rhythm. We should learn to appreciate every season, including the minor inconveniences that come with them. After all, without the spring rain, we would not enjoy the blooming flowers later.
Overall, spring is a season that most people look forward to. It is a time of growth, change, and new opportunities. It teaches us to be patient and hopeful, even when the weather is not perfect. So, next time you see a flower pushing through the soil, take a moment to appreciate its resilience. Spring truly touches our hearts and makes us feel grateful for the beauty of nature.

The Magic of Frost
Frost is one of the most magical sights of winter. On a cold, clear morning, you might wake up to find the world outside transformed. Grass, leaves, and even spider webs are covered in a layer of delicate white ice crystals. This is frost.
Frost forms on clear, calm nights when the temperature drops below freezing (0℃). The air contains water vapour, which is invisible gas. When this water vapour touches surfaces that are colder than the air, like grass or car windows, it turns directly into ice crystals. This process is called deposition.
Unlike snow, which falls from the sky, frost grows from the ground up. It creates incredible patterns that look like feathers, flowers, or ferns. These patterns are unique and can be very beautiful. Many photographers love to capture the beauty of frost in the early morning light.
Farmers have a special relationship with frost. A light frost can be beneficial. It kills off pests and some plant diseases that might harm crops. However, a heavy frost, especially in late spring or early autumn, can be devastating. It can kill young plants and ruin a farmer’s harvest. This is why farmers often worry about "frost warnings" in spring and autumn.
Frost also affects our daily lives. It can make roads and pavements slippery, so we need to be careful when walking or driving. It can also damage plants in our gardens if we don’t cover them.
In literature and poetry, frost is often used to describe the end of autumn or the depth of winter. It symbolizes both beauty and hardship. Robert Frost, a famous American poet, wrote a well-known poem called Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, which describes a quiet, frozen landscape.
Although frost can be a nuisance, it is also a reminder of the beauty and power of nature. It turns the ordinary world into something extraordinary, even if just for a few hours in the morning. So, next time you see frost on the ground, take a moment to appreciate its delicate beauty before the sun melts it away.
31. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. Snow. B. Rain. C. Frost. D. Ice.
32. How does frost form according to the passage?
A. Water vapour freezes on cold surfaces. B. Snow melts and refreezes.
C. Rain freezes as it falls. D. Water boils and turns to ice.
33. What does the underlined word "devastating" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Helpful. B. Destroying. C. Beautiful. D. Surprising.
34. Why do farmers worry about frost in spring and autumn?
A. Because it makes the roads slippery. B. Because it can kill young plants.
C. Because it damages car windows. D. Because it is too cold to work.
35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Frost lasts all day long. B. Frost is always harmful.
C. We should appreciate the beauty of frost. D. Frost only appears in gardens.

Many people love autumn because of the beautiful colours of the leaves. But have you ever wondered why leaves change colour in autumn? 36.______
During spring and summer, leaves are green because of chlorophyll (叶绿素). Chlorophyll is a chemical that helps plants make food from sunlight. It is green and covers up other colours in the leaves. 37.______ The weather gets cooler, and there is less sunlight. This is a signal for trees to get ready for winter.
In autumn, trees stop making chlorophyll. As the green chlorophyll fades away, other colours that were always there start to show. 38.______ Carotenoids (类胡萝卜素) make leaves orange and yellow. Anthocyanins (花青素) make leaves red and purple.
The exact colours depend on the type of tree. Maple trees often turn bright red or orange. Poplar trees turn golden yellow. Oak trees might turn brown or red. 39.______
Temperature and weather also affect the colours. If autumn days are warm and sunny, and the nights are cool, the colours will be brighter. A dry summer can also make the colours more intense. 40.______
The falling of leaves is also important. It helps the tree conserve water and energy during the cold winter. So, the next time you see a pile of colourful leaves, remember that it is not just a beautiful sight, but also a vital part of a tree’s life cycle.
A. These colours come from different chemicals.
B. It is a complex process controlled by nature.
C. However, as autumn approaches, things begin to change.
D. Leaves fall off trees because they are too heavy.
E. This is why we see such a variety of colours in autumn.
F. Too much rain in autumn can make the colours dull.

Cherry Blossom Season in Japan
Every spring, Japan celebrates the blooming of cherry blossoms, known as "sakura." It is one of the most important events of the year. People from all over the world travel to Japan to see the beautiful pink and white flowers.
The blooming starts in the south, in cities like Tokyo and Kyoto, usually in late March or early April. It then moves north as the weather gets warmer. The exact timing depends on the temperature. A warm spring will make the flowers bloom earlier, while a cold spring will delay them.
During the season, people participate in "hanami," which means "flower viewing." Families, friends, and colleagues gather under the cherry blossom trees for picnics. They eat, drink, and enjoy the beauty of the flowers. It is a time for celebration and relaxation.
However, the cherry blossoms do not last long. They usually reach full bloom within a week, and then the petals start to fall. This short lifespan is part of their beauty. It reminds people that life is beautiful but temporary. This idea is deeply rooted in Japanese culture.
In recent years, the blooming dates have been changing. Scientists have noticed that the cherry blossoms are blooming earlier than they did decades ago. They believe this is due to climate change. Warmer temperatures are causing the flowers to bloom sooner. This change could affect the timing of hanami and the tourism industry.
Despite the changes, the cherry blossom season remains a cherished tradition. It is a time when people come together to appreciate nature and celebrate the arrival of spring. The sight of the delicate pink flowers against the blue sky is something that people never tire of seeing.
56. What are cherry blossoms called in Japan?
57. When do cherry blossoms usually bloom in Tokyo?
58. What is the tradition of gathering under cherry trees called?
59. Why are cherry blossoms blooming earlier than before?

My Favourite Season in My Hometown
Dear Chris,
I was glad to receive your letter. You asked about my favourite season in my hometown. My favourite season is autumn.
The weather in autumn is cool and comfortable, neither too hot nor too cold. The sky is clear and blue. During this season, people love to go hiking in the nearby hills to enjoy the red maple leaves. Farmers are busy harvesting rice, and the fields look golden. I also like eating all kinds of fresh fruits like pears and grapes.
I love autumn because it is a season of harvest and peace. The beautiful scenery makes me feel relaxed and happy. Unlike the busy summer or the cold winter, autumn gives us time to slow down and enjoy nature.
I hope you can visit my hometown someday and experience this season yourself.
Yours,
Li Hua
