Under the blue sky, golden fields shone like the sun. The wind blew, sending sweet smells into the air. Adults were busy cutting the wheat. Children raced behind to pick up the ears. 　　That was my childhood in the countryside. Most of the villagers there lived by farming. The 24 Solar Terms meant so much to them. The changes of the terms guided both their farming activities and their daily lives. For example, the terms helped them understand why things happened at certain times, and how they should react. 　　I am an artist now, but I never forget those days. I longed to share these feelings in my paintings and poems. I did not know how popular the paintings would become. I'm so happy that many people, especially the young, are taking a new interest in the ancient wisdom. 　　Now people may be moving away from farming. However, the ancient way of dividing time stays close to our hearts. The 24 Solar Terms are known as the "Fifth Great Invention of China". For example, many people still eat spring pancakes at Start of Spring and dumplings at Start of Winter. This ancient calendar has never really left the lives of Chinese people. 任务一：单项选择 1. What is Grain in Ear like in the writer's memory? A. A cold and quiet winter day.　B. A busy time for cutting the wheat. C. A time when nothing happens.　D. A day for eating dumplings. 2. How do the terms help the villagers? A. They guide their farming and daily lives.　B. They tell them how to build new houses. C. They teach the children to sing songs.　D.

The writer thinks the solar terms have completely left people's lives today. （　　） 任务三：简答 5. What did the writer want to do with his feelings about those days? _______________________________________________________________________________ Passage 2（课外同源：The old fisherman and the moon） 　　Grandpa Chen is a fisherman on a small island in the south of China. He does not use a weather app on his phone. He reads the sky, the wind and the moon. 　　"The sea never lies," he often says. "If you watch carefully, it will tell you what the weather will be like." For example, he knows that a red sky in the evening often means a fine day tomorrow. He also knows that fish come closer to the shore when the moon is full. 　　Grandpa Chen learnt these things from his father, who learnt them from his own father. For hundreds of years, people on the island have lived by these signs. Today, science can explain many of them. Scientists have found that fish really do move more when the moon is full, because the light helps them see their food. 　　Grandpa Chen's granddaughter is a student in the city now. She says that people should not forget the old knowledge. "It is not just about fishing," she says. "It teaches us how to live with nature, not against it." 任务一：单项选择 1. How does Grandpa Chen predict the weather? A. By using a weather app.　B. By asking other fishermen. C. By reading the sky, the wind and the moon.　D. By listening to the radio. 2. What does Grandpa Chen's granddaughter think of the old knowledge? A. It is useless today.　B. Only fishermen need it. C. It should be kept secret.　D. It teaches us how to live with nature. 任务二：判断正误（T/F） 3. Grandpa Chen learnt the old knowledge from his father and grandfather. （　　） 4. Scientists have found that the moon has nothing to do with fish. （　　） 任务三：简答 5. Why do fish come closer to the shore when the moon is full? _______________________________________________________________________________ 任务四：单元微写作 　　以“The wisdom of living with nature”为题写一段短文：介绍一种中国人顺应自然规律生活或劳作的传统做法（它是什么、人们为什么这样做、它有什么意义、你的感受），不少于8句话，请使用 the 24 Solar Terms、live by farming、guide、understand why、the laws of nature、ancient wisdom、be known as 等表达。 _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ 参考答案 夯实基础 一、单词汉译英　1. wheat　2. childhood　3. countryside　4. province　5. wisdom　6. arrival　7. calendar　8. villager　9. rainfall　10. canal　11. shortage　12. increase 二、短语汉译英　1. the 24 Solar Terms　2. live by farming　3. be busy doing sth.　4. be known as　5. the laws of nature　6. all year round　7. be proud of　8. among 三、词形变换　1. wisdom　2. arrival　3. villager　4. sweetly　5. energetic 能力进阶 一、单句填空　1. cutting　2. lived　3. guided　4. happened　5. are taking 二、完成句子　1.

In the past, most Chinese villagers lived by farming, and the solar terms meant so much to them. They guided both farming activities and daily lives. For example, the terms helped farmers understand why things happened at certain times, and when to plant and harvest. Even today, the terms are known as the "Fifth Great Invention of China". Many people still eat spring pancakes at Start of Spring and dumplings at Start of Winter. I think this ancient wisdom shows how people can live with the laws of nature. It makes me proud of Chinese culture, and I want to learn more about it. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
