According to a study,the season length is growing,meaning that it is taking longer for leaves to change their colours.And this is not the only way that climate change is destroying the season. “Trees are holding onto their leaves longer,”explained Dr Howard,a climate scientist.“In my own neighbourhood,I can remember that the leaves would drop a lot sooner 20 years ago than they do now.This is a personal opinion,but research actually supports this phenomenon(现象)we're finding.” Climate change isn't only causing the leaves to change later.We can also expect later frosts(霜)according to Dr Michael,a teacher of a university.Michael said,“That means pests(害虫)will be active for a longer time in autumn,causing a greater health danger to human beings.” If there is no good news at all,we may be able to avoid this development.Michael said that if humans control their carbon dioxide emissions(二氧化碳排放),they can still stop the worst effects of climate change.“A new study recently shows that warming will likely stop after carbon emissions reach zero.”Michael said in his recent comment for Live Science. 1.What else does climate change cause besides later leaf changes? 2.What danger will longer-active pests bring to humans in autumn? 3.When will warming likely stop according to the new study? 【答案】 1.Later frosts. 2.A greater health danger. 3.After carbon emissions reach zero. 【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了气候变化给秋天带来的改变，树叶变色推迟、霜期延后，害虫活跃时间变长；同时指出人类控制二氧化碳排放仍然可以缓解气候变暖。 1. 细节理解题。根据 “We can also expect later frosts according to Dr Michael,a teacher of a university.” 可知，除树叶变色推迟以外，气候变化还造成霜期延后。 2. 细节理解题。根据 “That means pests will be active for a longer time in autumn,causing a greater health danger to human beings.” 可知，秋天害虫活跃时间变长，会给人类带来更大的健康隐患。 3. 细节理解题。根据 “A new study recently shows that warming will likely stop after carbon emissions reach zero.” 可知，新研究表明碳排放归零之后变暖或许会停止。 二、根据短文内容，回答下列问题。每题答案不得超过7个词(除第5小题外)。 Winter in northern cities brings a magical transformation as snow covers the ground.The temperature often drops below zero,with icy winds blowing through the streets.Early mornings are filled with frost on the windows,and sunny days make the snow sparkle like diamonds. People wear thick coats,gloves and scarves to stay warm.Children love playing in the snow—building snowmen,having snowball fights,and sliding on icy slopes.Some families go ice skating on frozen lakes,while others stay indoors by the fire,enjoying hot chocolate. However,heavy snowstorms can cause problems.Roads become slippery and schools may close.Delivery trucks struggle to drive through the snow,and people have to shovel driveways to clear the path.People face the challenges,but the holiday season brings joy,with Christmas lights shining brightly and New Year's fireworks lighting up the cold night sky. On rare warm days,the snow starts to melt,creating puddles on the sidewalks.Birds gather around feeders,looking for food in the cold.People take advantage of the mild weather to go for walks,breathing in the fresh,crisp air. 1..What happens to the temperature in winter? 2.Where do families go ice skating? 3.Why do people wear thick coats in winter? 4.How do snowstorms affect(影响)people's daily life?(List two problems) 5.Do you like winter?Why? 【答案】 1.It often drops below zero. 2.On frozen lakes. 3.(They wear thick coats/do it)to stay warm./To stay warm. 4.Roads become slippery and schools may close. 5.Yes.Because I like making snowmen.(答案不唯一，言之有理即可) 【语篇解读】本文描写了中国北方城市冬天的景象，人们冬天的各类活动，暴雪带来的麻烦以及雪融化之后的景象。 1. 细节理解题。根据 “The temperature often drops below zero,with icy winds blowing through the streets.” 可知冬季气温常常降到零度以下。 2. 细节理解题。根据 “Some families go ice skating on frozen lakes” 可知，一些家庭在结冰的湖面上滑冰。 3. 细节理解题。根据 “People wear thick coats,gloves and scarves to stay warm.” 可知人们穿上厚外套是为了保暖。 4. 细节理解题。根据 “However,heavy snowstorms can cause problems.Roads become slippery and schools may close.” 可以找到暴风雪带来的两个麻烦：路面变滑以及学校停课。 5. 主观表达题。开放性试题，答案言之有理即可。 02 （A）阅读下面的材料，然后根据材料内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过7个单词(除第5小题外)。 The word “day”has two meanings.When we talk about the number of days in a year,we are using“day”to mean 24 hours.But when we talk about day and night,we are using “day”to mean the time between sunrise and sunset.Because the Earth looks like a ball,the Sun can shine on only half of it at a time.Always one half of the Earth is having day and the other half night.At the equator(赤道),day and night are always the same length.They are each twelve hours long.The Sun rises at 6 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 o'clock in the evening.For six months the North Pole is tilted(北极倾斜)toward the Sun.In those months the Northern Hemisphere gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere.Days are longer than nights.South of the equator,nights are longer than days.For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the Sun.Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight.Days are longer than nights.North of the equator,nights are longer than days.Winter is the season of long nights.Summer is the season of long days. 1.How many hours does “day"mean in “days in a year”? 2.Why does half of the Earth have night? 3.What's the day length at the equator? 4.When the North Pole tilts towards the Sun,which part of the Earth has longer days? 5.How does Earth's tilt effect human life? 【答案】 1.(It means)24 hours. 2.Because the Sun shines on half of Earth. 3.(It is)12 hours. 4.The Northern Hemisphere. 5.Farmers can decide what to do in the fields.(答案不唯一，言之有理即可) 【语篇解读】本文介绍单词 day 的两层含义；由于地球是球体，太阳只能照亮地球的一半；介绍赤道、两极地区受地球倾斜影响昼夜长短变化的规律。 1. 细节理解题。根据 “When we talk about the number of days in a year,we are using “day” to mean 24 hours.” 可知此处 day 指 24 小时。 2. 细节理解题。根据 “Because the Earth looks like a ball,the Sun can shine on only half of it at a time.Always one half of the Earth is having day and the other half night.” 可知太阳每次只能照亮地球的一半，另一半就是黑夜。 3. 细节理解题。根据 “At the equator (赤道),day and night are always the same length.They are each twelve hours long.” 可知赤道上白天时长是 12 小时。 4. 细节理解题。根据 “For six months the North Pole is tilted (北极倾斜) toward the Sun.In those months the Northern Hemisphere gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere.Days are longer than nights.” 可知当北极朝向太阳倾斜时，北半球白天更长。 5. 主观表达题。开放性试题，答案言之有理即可。 （B）阅读下面的材料，然后根据材料内容回答问题，每题答案不超过10个词。 The seasons in Australia are not like ours.When it is winter in China,it is summer there.Australia is a country in the southern hemisphere.June,July and August are winter months,and September,October and November are spring months.Summer is in December,January and February,and March,April and May are autumn months.The weather in the north of the country is hotter than in the south.

This solar term is called the Grain Rain because it is known for“rain”that helps the grain grow.From its name,we can guess it means a time of more rain.So if you go out during the Grain Rain,you may need to bring an umbrella with you.

Drinking mutton soup In many places in China,there's a tradition of drinking mutton soup on this day,and you won't fear the cold throughout the winter.Mutton is rich in fats,proteins,and calories,making it a good choice when the weather gets cold.Having a bowl of mutton soup not only warms the weak body but also provides a pleasant experience. Eating tangyuan Eating tangyuan is a traditional custom,which is especially popular in the southern regions of the Yangtze River.Tangyuan is a must-have food for people there,because yuan means“getting together”. Eating dumplings In many parts of northern China,it isa custom to eat dumplings.People in northern China eat dumplings on this day because dumplings have the meaning of“cold”. Making winter wine Start of Winter is a good day to start making yellow wine in Shaoxing,Zhejiang Province,as the water is usually clearer at this time and the low temperature restricts the growth of germs—perfect for the flavour during the fermenting process. Besides these customs,we should also pay attention to some other things during this time.As the weather gets colder and colder,we need to wear gloves,hats and warm cotton-padded shoes to keep ourselves warm.We also need to do exercise,such as choosing some indoor sports to keep our body strong. 1.What does the 19th solar term Start of Winter mean? 2.When is Start of Winter this year? 3.How many customs are mentioned in this article? 4.What's the weather like during this time? 5.What do you often do during this time? 【答案】 1.The beginning of winter. 2.On November 7. 3.Four. 4.It gets colder and colder. 5.I often do indoor sports.(答案不唯一，言之有理即可) 【语篇解读】本文介绍二十四节气立冬；立冬代表冬天的开端，介绍喝羊肉汤、吃汤圆、吃饺子、酿冬酒四项传统习俗；同时提醒立冬之后注意保暖和运动。 1. 细节理解题。根据 “Start of Winter,the 19th of the year,which means the beginning of winter in Chinese culture” 可知立冬意味着冬天的开端。 2. 细节理解题。根据 “begins on November 7 this year.” 可知今年立冬在 11 月 7 日。 3. 细节理解题。文中一共提到：Drinking mutton soup；Eating tangyuan；Eating dumplings；Making winter wine，一共四项习俗。 4. 细节理解题。根据 “As the weather gets colder and colder” 可知立冬之后天气变得越来越冷。 5. 主观表达题。开放性试题，答案言之有理即可。 （C）阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题。 Different weather makes us feel different.It influences our health,feelings and intelligence(智力).

The weather can also influence intelligence.For example,in a scientific report,the IQ(智商)of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came,but after the strong wind,their IQ was10%lower.The wind can help people have higher intelligence.Very hot weather,on the other hand,can make it lower.Students in many schools of the United States often get worse grades on exams in July and August,the hottest months of the year. 1.What's the weather like in the southern part of the United States in August? 2.How might thin people feel during cold weather? 3.Who may have a hard time in hot summer? 4.When was the IQ of the group of students high in a scientific report? 5.What do you learn from the passage? 【答案】 1.It is very hot and wet. 2.They might feel unhappy. 3.Fat people. 4.When a very strong wind came. 5.Warm./Weather influences us in many ways.(答案不唯一) 【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文，讲述天气会从健康、情绪还有智力多个方面对人产生影响。 1. 细节理解题。根据 “In August,it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States.” 可知美国南部八月又热又潮湿。 2. 细节理解题。根据 “Winter may be a bad time for thin people.They might feel unhappy during cold weather.” 可知瘦的人在寒冷天气下可能会感到不开心。 3. 细节理解题。根据 “But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer.” 可知胖人在炎热的夏天日子不好过。 4. 细节理解题。根据 “the IQ (智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came” 可知大风来临的时候这批学生的智商很高。 5. 主观表达题。开放性试题，答案言之有理即可。 02 （A）阅读短文，回答短文后的5个问题，每题答案不超过10个词。 The Great Wall of China is also called“Ten Thousand Li Great Wall”.In fact,it's more than 20,000kilometres long.It winds its way from west to east,across deserts,over mountains,through valleys till at last it reaches the sea.It is one of the wonders of the world. The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries.The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period.During the Warring States Period,more walls were put up to defend the borders of different kingdoms.It was the Kingdom of Qin that united the different parts into one empire.During the Qin Dynasty,to keep the enemy out of his empire,Emperor Qin Shihuang had all the walls joined up.Thus,the Great Wall came into being. The Great Wall is wide enough at the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side.Along the wall are watchtowers,where soldiers used to keep watch.Fires were lit on the watchtowers as a warning when the enemy came. It was very difficult to build such a wall in the ancient times without any modern machines.All the work was done by hand.Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built.The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth,but of the flesh and blood of millions of men. Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese but to people from all over the world.Many of them have come to know the famous Chinese saying:He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man. 1.How long is the Great Wall of China? 2.When were the walls joined up? 3.When the enemy invaded,what did the soldiers do on the watchtowers? 4.How was the Great Wall built? 5.How do you understand “He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man."? 【答案】 1.More than 20,000kilometres. 2.During the Qin Dynasty. 3.They lit fires as a warning. 4.By hand 5.It attracts people around the world./It encourages us to reach our goals.(答案不唯一，合理即可) 【语篇解读】本文介绍万里长城的长度、历史起源，春秋战国到秦朝修筑的经过；长城顶部构造、烽火台的作用；古代修建的艰难；如今长城成为世界著名旅游胜地。 1. 细节理解题。根据 “In fact,it's more than 20,000kilometres long.” 可知长城两万多千米长。 2. 细节理解题。根据 “During the Qin Dynasty,to keep the enemy out of his empire,Emperor Qin Shihuang had all the walls joined up.” 可知是在秦朝把各段城墙连接起来。 3. 细节理解题。根据 “Fires were lit on the watchtowers as a warning when the enemy came.” 敌人来袭的时候，士兵在烽火台点火示警。 4. 细节理解题。根据 “All the work was done by hand.” 可知古代全部靠手工修筑长城。 5. 主观表达题。开放性试题，答案言之有理即可。 （B）阅读短文，回答短文后的五个问题。 No one can change the weather.Nobody can control the weather.But if we read the signs around us correctly,we can tell what important changes in the weather will be.This way of telling what the weather will be like in the following one or two days is called the weather forecast.For many centuries and in all countries,people studied the weather and tried to make a weather forecast. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain.Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming,but they fly near the ground when rainy or stormy weather is on the way.If the stars twinkle(闪烁)clearly at night,then fine weather continues.If fog appears in the morning just above a river,then it will be warm.If the sunset is mostly red in colour,then it is fine the following day.If you see a rainbow during rainy weather,the weather will become clear and fine.If a rainbow appears in the morning,the rainy weather may come soon.

Wearing hats and scarves In China,with the arrival of the Minor Snow,the wind blows from the north-east a lot.Many people do not wear hats or scarves.In fact,according to an old Chinese saying“The head is the place where all passages of the body gather.”,it's necessary to wear hats and scarves to keep one's head warm. Having hot soup During the Minor Snow,the air in the houses is dry and most people may find their nose and mouth feel a bit dry.This will cause(导致)“inner heat"in one’s body.The key is to have more hot soup. Eating rice cakes In some areas of South China,people eat rice cakes around the Minor Snow.In ancient times,rice cakes were a traditional festival offering(祭品)to the bull god(牛神). Making pickled(腌制的)vegetables and pork After the Minor Snow,because of the low temperature and dry air,it is the best time to start making preserved pork(腊肉),which by the Chinese New Year would be ready to enjoy.The people in Yancheng,Jiangsu Province,have welcomed the Minor Snow by making pickled vegetables. In addition(此外),we like to eat spicy(辛辣的)food to keep warm.However,it's not wise to eat much spicy food because that will increase “inner heat”.This year's Minor Snow is coming.Wish you to be surrounded by a life full of warmth. 1.When does the Minor Snow begin this year? 2.How do people keep their head warm during the Minor Snow? 3.What is the key to avoid(避免)causing“inner heat”? 4.In which areas do people eat rice cakes around the Minor Snow? 5.What do you think of eating much spicy food during the Minor Snow? 【答案】 1.On November 22. 2.By wearing hats and scarves./They wear hats and scarves. 3.Having more hot soup. 4.In some areas of South China. 5.It's not wise.(答案不唯一) 【语篇解读】本文介绍二十四节气小雪；小雪之后多东北风，头部保暖的重要性；多喝热汤；南方吃年糕；腌制腊肉咸菜；提醒不宜吃太多辛辣食物。 1. 细节理解题。根据 “The Minor Snow (小雪),the 20th Solar Term of the year,begins on November 22 this year.” 可知今年小雪 11 月 22 日开始。 2. 细节理解题。根据 “it's necessary to wear hats and scarves to keep one's head warm.” 可知人们戴帽子围巾来给头部保暖。 3. 细节理解题。根据 “The key is to have more hot soup.” 可知避免上火的关键是多喝热汤。 4. 细节理解题。根据 “In some areas of South China,people eat rice cakes around the Minor Snow.” 可知中国南方部分地区小雪的时候吃年糕。 5. 主观表达题。根据 “However,it's not wise to eat much spicy food”，开放性试题，言之有理即可。 1 / 9 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 6 Seasons 阅读表达专练 话题：人与自然—季节：热爱与敬畏自然，与自然和谐共生 热点题型概览 题型夯基提升 巩固基础·专项突破 01 一、阅读短文，并根据短文内容回答问题，每题不超过8个词。 One of the best parts of autumn is its beautiful colours.Normally green leaves turn into red,orange,yellow,and finally brown.This is called“leaf phenology”(叶片物候),and many people look forward to it every year.However,because of climate change,autumn is changing. According to a study,the season length is growing,meaning that it is taking longer for leaves to change their colours.And this is not the only way that climate change is destroying the season. “Trees are holding onto their leaves longer,”explained Dr Howard,a climate scientist.“In my own neighbourhood,I can remember that the leaves would drop a lot sooner 20 years ago than they do now.This is a personal opinion,but research actually supports this phenomenon(现象)we're finding.” Climate change isn't only causing the leaves to change later.We can also expect later frosts(霜)according to Dr Michael,a teacher of a university.Michael said,“That means pests(害虫)will be active for a longer time in autumn,causing a greater health danger to human beings.” If there is no good news at all,we may be able to avoid this development.Michael said that if humans control their carbon dioxide emissions(二氧化碳排放),they can still stop the worst effects of climate change.“A new study recently shows that warming will likely stop after carbon emissions reach zero.”Michael said in his recent comment for Live Science. 1.What else does climate change cause besides later leaf changes? 2.What danger will longer-active pests bring to humans in autumn? 3.When will warming likely stop according to the new study? 二、根据短文内容，回答下列问题。每题答案不得超过7个词(除第5小题外)。 Winter in northern cities brings a magical transformation as snow covers the ground.The temperature often drops below zero,with icy winds blowing through the streets.Early mornings are filled with frost on the windows,and sunny days make the snow sparkle like diamonds. People wear thick coats,gloves and scarves to stay warm.Children love playing in the snow—building snowmen,having snowball fights,and sliding on icy slopes.Some families go ice skating on frozen lakes,while others stay indoors by the fire,enjoying hot chocolate.

The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries.The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period.During the Warring States Period,more walls were put up to defend the borders of different kingdoms.It was the Kingdom of Qin that united the different parts into one empire.During the Qin Dynasty,to keep the enemy out of his empire,Emperor Qin Shihuang had all the walls joined up.Thus,the Great Wall came into being. The Great Wall is wide enough at the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side.Along the wall are watchtowers,where soldiers used to keep watch.Fires were lit on the watchtowers as a warning when the enemy came. It was very difficult to build such a wall in the ancient times without any modern machines.All the work was done by hand.Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built.The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth,but of the flesh and blood of millions of men.
