答案及解析
答案: 1. B 2. True 3. Spring. 4. D 5. C
解析:
1.B 【解析】 本题询问文章中描述的春天树木会发生什么。根据文章第一段对春天的描述,树木会长出新的绿叶,这与选项B“They grow new green leaves.”(它们长出新的绿叶。)完全一致。选项A描述的是秋天树叶变色,选项C描述的是秋天落叶,选项D描述的是像松树一样常绿,这些都不是春天树木的典型特征。
2.True 【解析】 本题是一个判断题,需要判断“夏天,荷花在池塘里盛开”这一描述是否正确。文章第二段明确提到了夏天“lotus flowers bloom on the pond”(荷花在池塘里盛开),因此该陈述是正确的。
3.Spring. 【解析】 本题为简答题,询问文章中哪个季节被描述为“新生命的季节”。文章第一段第一句就指出“Spring is a season of new life.”(春天是一个新生命的季节。)因此答案是Spring。
4.D 【解析】 本题询问文章中描述的一些鸟类(如大雁)在秋天飞走的原因。根据文章第三段,秋天天气变冷,食物减少,像大雁这样的鸟类会“fly to warmer places”(飞往更温暖的地方),这与选项D“To go to warmer places.”(去更温暖的地方。)意思相符。选项A(天气太热)与事实相反;选项B(寻找更多昆虫)和选项C(从南方飞回)在文中均未提及。
5.C 【解析】 本题询问作者写作这篇文章的主要目的。通读全文可知,文章主要按季节顺序,客观地描述了植物和动物在不同季节的变化和活动。因此,其主要目的是“To describe and explain how plants and animals change in different seasons.”(描述和解释植物和动物在不同季节如何变化。)选项A(讲一个关于动物的有趣故事)不正确,文章没有故事性;选项B(说服读者保护自然)和选项D(给出种植植物的指导)在文中均未体现。
短文翻译
四季里的动植物
春天,世界苏醒了。天气变得温暖。树木长出新的绿叶。美丽的桃花盛开。鸟儿从南方飞回来,快乐地歌唱。小昆虫,比如蝴蝶,也出来了。春天是万物复苏的季节。
夏天炎热又阳光充足。植物长得又高又壮。到处都能看到大大的绿叶。荷花在池塘里绽放。许多动物都很忙碌。你能听到蝉在树上鸣叫。蜻蜓在水面上飞舞。这是一个充满生机的季节。
秋天带来了凉爽的天气。树叶变成了黄色、橙色和红色。它们从树上飘落。苹果和梨等水果成熟了。一些鸟儿,比如大雁,飞往更温暖的地方。松鼠等动物会收集坚果准备过冬。秋天是收获的季节。
冬天很寒冷。有时会下雪。大多数树木没有叶子。但松树依然保持翠绿。许多动物,比如熊,在它们的洞穴里冬眠。一些鸟儿,比如麻雀,会留下来寻找食物。冬天很安静,但大自然正在为春天而休养。
