Every season brings special things—flowers in spring,sunshine in summer,colourful leaves in autumn,and snow in winter.People have created fun sayings and expressions about these seasons over the years.Let's get to know some of them!
Spring: A Fresh Start
Spring is all about new beginnings,so people often say,“April showers bring Mayflowers."This means the rain in April helps flowers bloom in May.It's a way of telling us that good things often come after a little bit of trouble.
Summer:Fun in the Sun
Summer is warm,sunny,and full of life.A popular saying is“Make hay(草料)while the sun shines.”This means to make good use of a good situation(形势)while it lasts.Farmers used to say this because they could only dry hay on sunny days.
Autumn: A Time for Change
When leaves turn red,orange,and yellow,people often say“the autumn of one's life”.This phrase describes the later years of a person's life,as autumn is later in the year.
Winter: Comfortable and Cold
Winter can be hard,but people make the best of it.You might hear someone say“snowed under”,which means being very busy,like when snow piles up all around you.
Seasonal sayings and expressions are like little bits of wisdom(智慧)in fun words.So next time you hear one,smile and think about how it connects to the world around you!

If it matched with the natural scene,it would be the most beautiful picture.
If wind had colours,in spring it should be green.
Flowers come out in spring.
When the green wind blew around,all the flowers seemed to be surrounded by green leaves.
How beautiful it is!
The wind in summer should be light blue,because it is too hot.
When the light blue wind blew over,you would seem to be in a swimming pool.
How cool!
The wind in autumn should be golden because autumn is the harvest time,and golden colour makes us have harvest feelings.
The wind in winter should be light yellow.
When the light yellow wind blew on white snow,it was very warm.
If wind had colours,the world would be more colourful.
( )1.If wind had colours.which colour would it be in winter?

C
①One of the best parts of autumn is its beautiful colors.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.
②According to a study,the season length is growing,meaning that it is taking longer for leaves to change their colors.And this is not the only way that climate change is destroying the season.
③“Trees are holding onto their leaves longer,"explained Dr.Howard,a climate scientist."In my own neighborhood,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)that we're finding.”
④Climate 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.”
⑤If there is no good news at all,though,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.Which of the following is one of the effects of climate change on autumn?
A.The season length is becoming shorter. B.Leaves are changing their colors earlier.
C.Leaves are staying on the trees longer. D.There are more frosts in autumn.
( ) 2.What can we infer from Dr.Michael's words in paragraph 4?
A.Pests will disappear completely if there are earlier frosts.
B.Later frosts in autumn are good for people's health.
C.People should try to kill pests in autumn.
D.The longer pests are active,the more dangerous it is for people.
( ) 3.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?
A.To tell readers about the beautiful colors of autumn.
B.To introduce the research of Dr.Howard and Dr.Michael.
C.To show how climate change is affecting autumn.
D.To draw people's attention to environmental protection.
( ) 4.Which of the following is the best文案结构隐structure of the passage?
B)阅读短文,从短文后A至G七个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Everybody knows that there are usually four seasons in a year. 1
As our planet moves around the sun,the light from the sun falls on the earth from different directions.This helps create the seasons.At different times of a year,there is more sunlight in some places and less sunlight in others.More sunlight means longer days and warmer weather. 2 It gets colder in autumn and winter because the days are shorter,and we get less light from the sun.
The seasons fall at different times of year around the world.For example,China is to the north of the equator.Here,we experience summer from June to August. 3 In Australia,it is summer from December to February,and Australians have their spring when we have our autumn.
4 The hottest and the coldest parts of the world usually have only two seasons.It is always hot in places close to the equator.These places are called the tropics.Instead of our four seasons,many parts of the tropics have a rainy season and a dry season. 5 Around the North and South Poles,there are only two seasons too:a very,very cold winter and a somewhat less cold summer.
A.This is why we have spring and summer.
B.To the south of the equator,June,July and August are winter months.
C.But do you know the colours of the four seasons?
D.People will never experience winter in these areas.
E.But do you know how the four seasons are formed?
F.Not all places in the world have four seasons like ours.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
B)阅读短文,在文中空白处填入一个适当的单词,或用括号内所给单词的正确形式填空。

五、阅读下面的材料,然后根据材料内容回答问题,注意:每题答案不超过6个词。
(共5小题;每小题2分,计10分)
When you think of winter,which word comes to your mind?Cold?Dark?Snow?Ice?When the weather turns terrible,we can stay in warm houses and enjoy nice food,but wild animals may not have this fun.So how do animals spend the long cold winter months?
Some animals make journeys to warmer places once a year.We call this migration.They sometimes travel thousands of miles by land,air,or sea to reach their winter home.Small monarch butterflies travel from all over the country to spend their winters in Mexico.Caribous(北美驯鹿)have one of the longest land migrations,travelling over 2,000 miles!But not all migrations are as long as the examples.Some birds make shorter migrations from high mountains to lower lands to find better places with less snow and more food.This type of migration is about changes in height.
If winter makes you want to sleep,you're not alone.Some animals hibernate for part or all of the winter.This is a special,very deep sleep.There are a few different types of hibernation.For example,a bear will eat a lot of food to build up fat reserves.During hibernation,its body temperature drops,and its heart beats more slowly.A bear's heartbeat may drop from around 55 beats per minute to just 9 beats.The bear can sleep for months without eating or drinking,using its fat for energy.
Instead of going to warmer places or sleeping through the winter,some animals spend the winter by changing bodies with seasons.Some animals may grow a thicker and warmer winter coat.Some other animals change the colour of their fur.For example,the snowshoe rabbits are usually brown in summer,but they change the colour of their fur into the colour of snow in winter for better hiding.
What about you?Will your mind,body or action change in the wintertime?Do you go to a warmer place for holiday or just stay at your comfortable home?Or maybe you really enjoy taking part in some outdoor activities in winter.No matter how you like to spend the winter,spring is just around the corner.
1.How far do caribous travel to spend the winter?
2.Why do some birds migrate to lower lands?
3.When a bear hibernates,what changes happen to its body?
4.What colours are snowshoe rabbits in different seasons?
5.Will you spend winter staying at home or going outside to have fun?Why?

Every season brings special things—flowers in spring,sunshine in summer,colourful leaves in autumn,and snow in winter.People have created fun sayings and expressions about these seasons over the years.Let's get to know some of them!
Spring: A Fresh Start
Spring is all about new beginnings,so people often say,“April showers bring Mayflowers."This means the rain in April helps flowers bloom in May.It's a way of telling us that good things often come after a little bit of trouble.
Summer:Fun in the Sun
Summer is warm,sunny,and full of life.A popular saying is“Make hay(草料)while the sun shines.”This means to make good use of a good situation(形势)while it lasts.Farmers used to say this because they could only dry hay on sunny days.
Autumn: A Time for Change
When leaves turn red,orange,and yellow,people often say“the autumn of one's life”.This phrase describes the later years of a person's life,as autumn is later in the year.
Winter: Comfortable and Cold
Winter can be hard,but people make the best of it.You might hear someone say“snowed under”,which means being very busy,like when snow piles up all around you.
Seasonal sayings and expressions are like little bits of wisdom(智慧)in fun words.So next time you hear one,smile and think about how it connects to the world around you!

①One of the best parts of autumn is its beautiful colors.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.
②According to a study,the season length is growing,meaning that it is taking longer for leaves to change their colors.And this is not the only way that climate change is destroying the season.
③“Trees are holding onto their leaves longer,"explained Dr.Howard,a climate scientist."In my own neighborhood,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)that we're finding.”
④Climate 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.”
⑤If there is no good news at all,though,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.Which of the following is one of the effects of climate change on autumn?
A.The season length is becoming shorter. B.Leaves are changing their colors earlier.
C.Leaves are staying on the trees longer. D.There are more frosts in autumn.
( ) 2.What can we infer from Dr.Michael's words in paragraph 4?
A.Pests will disappear completely if there are earlier frosts.
B.Later frosts in autumn are good for people's health.
C.People should try to kill pests in autumn.
D.The longer pests are active,the more dangerous it is for people.
( ) 3.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?
A.To tell readers about the beautiful colors of autumn.
B.To introduce the research of Dr.Howard and Dr.Michael.
C.To show how climate change is affecting autumn.
D.To draw people's attention to environmental protection.

Everybody knows that there are usually four seasons in a year. 1
As our planet moves around the sun,the light from the sun falls on the earth from different directions.This helps create the seasons.At different times of a year,there is more sunlight in some places and less sunlight in others.More sunlight means longer days and warmer weather. 2 It gets colder in autumn and winter because the days are shorter,and we get less light from the sun.
The seasons fall at different times of year around the world.For example,China is to the north of the equator.Here,we experience summer from June to August. 3 In Australia,it is summer from December to February,and Australians have their spring when we have our autumn.
4 The hottest and the coldest parts of the world usually have only two seasons.It is always hot in places close to the equator.These places are called the tropics.Instead of our four seasons,many parts of the tropics have a rainy season and a dry season. 5 Around the North and South Poles,there are only two seasons too:a very,very cold winter and a somewhat less cold summer.
A.This is why we have spring and summer.
B.To the south of the equator,June,July and August are winter months.
C.But do you know the colours of the four seasons?
D.People will never experience winter in these areas.
E.But do you know how the four seasons are formed?
F.Not all places in the world have four seasons like ours.

2.A 根据上文“More sunlight means longer days and warmer weather.”可知,选项A“这就是我们有春天和夏天的原因”符合语境。
3.B 根据上文“For example,China is to...from June to August.”和下文“In Australia,it is summer...when we have our autumn.”可知,选项B“在赤道以南,6、7、8月是冬季月份”符合语境。
4.F 根据下文“The hottest and the coldest parts of the world usually have only two seasons."可知,选项F"并非世界上所有地方都像我们这里一样有四个季节”符合语境。
5.D 根据上文"Instead of our four seasons,many parts of the tropics have a rainy season and a dry season."和下文“Around the North and South...less cold summer."可知,这里需要一个描述热带地区季节的选项。选项D“这些地区的人们永远不会经历冬季”符合语境。

五、阅读下面的材料,然后根据材料内容回答问题。(共5小题;每小题2分,计10分)
When you think of winter,which word comes to your mind?Cold?Dark?Snow?Ice?When the weather turns terrible,we can stay in warm houses and enjoy nice food,but wild animals may not have this fun.So how do animals spend the long cold winter months?
Some animals make journeys to warmer places once a year.We call this migration.They sometimes travel thousands of miles by land,air,or sea to reach their winter home.Small monarch butterflies travel from all over the country to spend their winters in Mexico.Caribous(北美驯鹿)have one of the longest land migrations,travelling over 2,000 miles!But not all migrations are as long as the examples.Some birds make shorter migrations from high mountains to lower lands to find better places with less snow and more food.This type of migration is about changes in height.
If winter makes you want to sleep,you're not alone.Some animals hibernate for part or all of the winter.This is a special,very deep sleep.There are a few different types of hibernation.For example,a bear will eat a lot of food to build up fat reserves.During hibernation,its body temperature drops,and its heart beats more slowly.A bear's heartbeat may drop from around 55 beats per minute to just 9 beats.The bear can sleep for months without eating or drinking,using its fat for energy.
Instead of going to warmer places or sleeping through the winter,some animals spend the winter by changing bodies with seasons.Some animals may grow a thicker and warmer winter coat.Some other animals change the colour of their fur.For example,the snowshoe rabbits are usually brown in summer,but they change the colour of their fur into the colour of snow in winter for better hiding.
What about you?Will your mind,body or action change in the wintertime?Do you go to a warmer place for holiday or just stay at your comfortable home?Or maybe you really enjoy taking part in some outdoor activities in winter.No matter how you like to spend the winter,spring is just around the corner.
1.How far do caribous travel to spend the winter?
2.Why do some birds migrate to lower lands?
3.When a bear hibernates,what changes happen to its body?
4.What colours are snowshoe rabbits in different seasons?
5.Will you spend winter staying at home or going outside to have fun?Why?
【答案】
1.Over 2,000 miles.
2.For better places with less snow and more food.
3.Body temperature drops and heartbeat slows.
4.Brown in summer and white in winter.
5.I will stay at home because it's warm and comfortable.I'll go out to have fun because it's exciting to have snowball fights and make snowmen.(开放性试题,回答言之有理即可。)
【语篇解读】本文主要介绍野生动物度过漫长寒冬的三种方式:迁徙、冬眠以及随着季节改变自身的身体。 1. 细节理解题。根据 “Caribous (北美驯鹿) have one of the longest land migrations,travelling over 2,000 miles!” 可知,北美驯鹿迁徙的距离超过 2000 英里。
2. 细节理解题。根据 “Some birds make shorter migrations from high mountains to lower lands to find better places with less snow and more food.” 可知,一些鸟类迁徙到地势更低的地方,是为了找到积雪更少、食物更多的更好的栖息地。
3. 细节理解题。根据 “During hibernation,its body temperature drops,and its heart beats more slowly.” 可知,熊冬眠的时候,体温下降,心跳变得更慢。
4. 细节理解题。根据 “For example,the snowshoe rabbits are usually brown in summer,but they change the colour of their fur into the colour of snow in winter for better hiding.” 可知,雪鞋兔夏天皮毛是棕色,冬天变成雪的颜色也就是白色。
5. 主观表达题。I will stay at home because it's warm and comfortable./ I'll go out to have fun because it's exciting to have snowball fights and make snowmen. 开放性试题,回答言之有理即可。
