二、阅读理解。(本大题共10小题,每小题2分,共20分)
A
The days grow shorter, the leaves turn yellower, and the weather gets cooler. These are all signs that autumn has arrived. Or is it fall? Have you ever wondered why there are two names for this season?
Historical records show that there actually wasn't any fall. There wasn't actually spring either. The first season was winter. According to livescience.com, the name “winter” came from an unknown root word (词根) meaning “wet” and was used over fifteen hundred years ago. Back then, the AngloSaxons (盎格鲁撒克逊人) just used it to mark time.
The word “summer” came next. For a long time, years were only divided into two seasons. “Spring” was introduced much later. It wasn't until the 2ed century that “spring”, coming from the phrase “spring of the leaf”, became the accepted name for the season.
Now let's move on to “autumn” or “fall”. According to MerriamWebster dictionary, “autumn” actually came first, appearing in English writing as far back as the 1150s. It quickly became widespread because the old name “harvest” could mean both the season and the actual harvesting of crops (庄稼的收获).
However, names for the season didn't end with autumn. Over time, the phrase “fall of the leaf” came to be linked with the season. This was shortened to “fall” in the 100s.
Both “autumn” and “fall” travelled across the Atlantic (大西洋) Ocean to America. “Autumn” was actually a lot more popular in America in the beginning. “Fall”, as the name of a season, was not even entered into the English dictionary until 105.
But today, “autumn” is more commonly used in British English, while “fall” is generally preferred in American English.
(C)11.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.The first season. B.The word “wet”.
C.The name “winter”. D.An unknown root word.
(A)12.When was “spring” accepted as the name for season?
A.In the 100s. B.In the 50s.
C.In the 150s. D.In the 250s.
(A)13.Why was the word “autumn” so quickly accepted?
A.It could express the meaning more clearly.
B.People thought it was unclear.
C.People liked the way it was pronounced.
D.It was easier for people to remember.
(C)14.Which of the following is TRUE about “autumn” and “fall”?
A.“Autumn” has a wider meaning today.
B.“Fall” was introduced into America earlier.
C.“Fall” appeared later as a season name.
D.“Autumn” is widely used in American English now.
(B)15.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.Autumn: A Harvest Season B.Two Names for a Season
C.Two Popular Seasons D.Four Seasons in a Year

①Is the sky bluer in fall than in summer? The answer is yes! There are some reasons for this.
②The sun is lower in the sky in fall. As the days get shorter, the sun appears lower and lower in the sky. It doesn't shine directly on us anymore. Instead, it is closer to the earth and more blue light is scattered. This lets the sky seem bluer.
③In fall, there is less water in the air, so there are fewer clouds. Fall is known for good weather—cooler temperatures and less wet air. The air does not hold much water, so clouds do not form easily. When there are few or no clouds covering the sky, the blue colour of the sky shows more clearly, and the sky looks more open and brighter.
④You might be surprised, but the colourful leaves of fall actually help give the sky's blueness a colour boost (增强), which can make the sky seem even bluer. If you've made a colour wheel for an art class, you know that blue and orange are opposite colours that look good together. The red, orange, and gold leaves of fall make the blue sky stand out beautifully against them. This contrast looks nice and creates a special autumn view.
⑤So, the next time you're out enjoying the beautiful weather in autumn, take a moment to look up at the sky. You can remember these reasons why it looks so blue and enjoy the view!
