It means the beginning of midwinter. During Major Snow, the temperature drops greatly and there may be more snow days. The arrival of snow adds a delightful touch to the cold days. The snow in North China may go on a whole day, breaking tree branches and blocking the road while snow doesn’t happen a lot, but just a little, great fun in the South. The natural scenery is “ice blockading for hundred smiles and snow flying through thousands miles”, “From hill to hill no bird in flight; From path to path no man in sight”. In the South, the snowflakes fly around and the world turns white. There’s a Chinese saying: “A fall of snow gives promise of a fruitful year.” Most farmers welcome snow because snow can protect crops from cold fronts and keep the fields warm. Even if it melts (融化), it also can provide enough water for the crops in the spring. Snow season is also good for skiing and skating. In northern China, there are many places for natural snow and ice. For example, Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces often already have big snow in November. People can also go to the frozen lakes to play ice sports. But people in the south will stay indoors to enjoy the winter activities. People in Chongqing like to have potted lamb soup or stewed lamb soup with their families and friends. People in Nanjing like to stew the lamb with yams or wolfberries to make it more delicious. 17. How does the writer describe the beauty of snow? A. By giving examples. B. By introducing activities. C. By showing pictures. D. By using sayings and poems. 18. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 4? A. A fall of snow can lead to a fruitful year. B. A fall of snow can be dangerous to a fruitful year. C. A fall of snow can help farmers harvest much fruit. D. A fall of snow can prevent farmers from a good harvest. 19. What can we know about Major Snow from the passage? A. During Major Snow, the temperature falls greatly. B. Major Snow is the most beautiful term among all. C. People in the north like to stay indoors to enjoy the winter activities. D. All the farmers like snow because it can offer enough water to the crops. 20. The following paragraph can go best after _________. During Major Snow, it is drier and colder, so people should drink more water. At the same time, don’t drink cold water after exercise. A. Paragraph 2 B. Paragraph 3 C. Paragraph 4 D. Paragraph 5 D “Mom! I’m here!” I run to Mom’s car quickly. The wind takes away my voice. “You made it!” Mom says, but her voice is not happy. She looks into the darkened sky. BLAM! Something hits the car hard. Then I see a big hawk(鹰). “I couldn’t stop in time. That hawk flew right into us.” Mom cries. I reach out and catch the hawk before it can fall to the ground. It’s so soft, so warm. “Is it…? Is it…?…dead?” I ask. The hawk isn’t moving. There’s a knot in my throat, and I can’t speak. “We have to get out of this wind!” Mom says. We arrive home an hour later. I jump out of the car and look at the hawk through the back window. “It’s alive! I saw the head move!” I say. “Let’s name it Stormy.” The next day, the sun is shining, and the sky is blue. I run to check on Stormy. Stormy is against the backseat of the car. One wing is hurt. “Now let’s get Stormy to the wildlife center.” Mom says. After reaching the center, two people carrying a big cage come around the side of the building. “I’m Bev, and this is Alfredo,” the woman says. Bev asks questions about where and when Stormy hit our car. She records Stormy’s information. “OK, let’s get Stormy inside!” I follow close behind. “Sorry, no visitors,” Bev says when they reach the door. “Hawks are wild animals. We limit human contact (接触) so they have a better chance of surviving when we let them go back into the wild.” I feel sad, but I have to do what’s best for Stormy. On the last day before school starts, Alfredo says the center will let Stormy go back into the wild this evening and invites me to watch. I focus my binoculars on the open end of the cage. Stormy sticks her head out, then goes back inside. Five minutes pass before Stormy jumps out. She opens and closes her wings. She takes two steps forward and looks around again. Finally, Stormy flies away! She circles overhead, flying higher and higher. She’s beautiful! “Go, Stormy! ▲ “ I say, waving goodbye. 21. When there’s a knot in my throat, “I” most probably feel ________. A. lighthearted B. overjoyed C. heartbroken D. warmhearted 22. What does the underlined word “limit” mean? A. Reduce. B. Want. C.

During the winter months, temperatures are usually lower and there are fewer hours of daylight. The winter months in most of China are December, January and February. Cold winter temperatures are caused by the tilting (倾斜) of the Earth. When Earth‘s Northern Hemisphere (半球) is tilted away from the sun, there are fewer hours of daylight and it’s much colder. When the Northern Hemisphere tilts towards the sun, daylight time is longer and it is much warmer. The tilting of the earth causes the seasons to change. Animals have special ways of preparing themselves for winter. Some animals, like birds and butterflies fly far away, or migrate (迁徙) to warmer places during the winter months. Other animals go to sleep, or hibernate (冬眠) during winter. Bears, gophers, snakes, and bats hibernate. Squirrels and raccoons don’t migrate or hibernate. Instead, they save enough food during the autumn months, so they have plenty to eat during the winter. In some areas, winter is a time when snow falls and gathers on the ground. People who live in these places can enjoy special winter activities like skiing, sledding, or snowboarding. They can also build snowmen and snow castles. When the water in lakes and ponds freezes, people can ice skate or play ice hockey. Some people even cut a hole in the ice and go ice fishing. 51.

What causes the seasons to change? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 53. How do squirrels prepare for winter? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 54.
