Minor Heat: The Warm Opening of Midsummer
The 24 solar terms are an important part of traditional Chinese farming culture. Minor Heat, the eleventh solar term, usually falls on July 7 or 8 every year. It begins when the sun reaches 105 degrees of its orbit, and the Chinese character “shu” simply means hot weather.
Although Minor Heat brings rising temperatures, it is not the hottest time of the year. The hottest period comes with Major Heat, which appears shortly after. After Minor Heat arrives, most areas in China finish their rainy plum season and enter the hot and wet “San Fu” days.
Minor Heat has three clear natural features. As the weather gets hotter, cool winds disappear completely and crickets move from fields into yards. Eagles fly higher to enjoy cooler air above the burning ground. During this period, heavy rainstorms are common in most parts of China. Enough sunshine and rain help crops grow quickly, so farmers take care of their fields well to get better autumn harvests.
Chinese people have kept simple traditions for Minor Heat for thousands of years. Many families eat watermelons, cold noodles and lotus roots to beat the summer heat. People in southern China taste newly ripe rice and wish for a good harvest. These small customs show the wisdom of ancient people who lived in harmony with nature.
The 24 solar terms offer a great chance for teenagers to learn traditional Chinese culture. When students understand these special natural rules, they can better protect our traditional culture and spread it to the world.
[汉语翻译]
小暑:盛夏温热序章
二十四节气是中国传统农耕文化的重要组成部分。小暑是第十一个节气,通常在每年 7 月 7 日或 8 日到来。当太阳到达黄经 105 度时,小暑节气开启,汉字 “暑” 的本义就是天气炎热。
虽然小暑预示着气温不断升高,但它并非一年中最热的时节。酷热的大暑节气紧随其后、姗姗到来。小暑过后,中国大部分地区结束梅雨季节,进入高温潮湿的三伏天。
小暑有着鲜明的自然特征。随着气温攀升,凉风彻底消散,蟋蟀从田间迁至庭院避暑。雄鹰飞向高空,远离灼热的地面,享受凉爽的气流。这段时间,我国多数地区暴雨频发。充足的光照与雨水助力农作物快速生长,因此农户悉心照料田地,期盼秋日丰收。
数千年来,中国人一直延续着小暑的传统习俗。家家户户会吃西瓜、凉面、莲藕来消暑降温。中国南方地区的人们会品尝新成熟的稻米,祈求五谷丰登。这些传统习俗,彰显了古人顺应自然、与自然和谐共处的生活智慧。
二十四节气为青少年学习中华传统文化提供了良好契机。当学生们了解这些独特的自然规律后,便能更好地传承传统文化,并将其弘扬至世界各地。

(四)语法填空
1.eleventh

4.disappear
【解析】句意:天气越来越热,凉风完全消失,蟋蟀从田间转移到院子里。根据后文“天气变热” 可知凉风会消失,appear表示“出现”,反义词disappear 表示“消失”,本句时态为一般现在时,主语 cool winds 为复数,用动词原形。故填disappear。
5.quickly
【解析】句意:充足的阳光和雨水帮助作物快速生长。此处修饰动词grow,需要把形容词quick 变为副词quickly。故填quickly。
6.have kept

(五)阅读表达
