Question

【題目】閱讀短文, 并按要求完成下面小題。

There are 24 solar terms(節(jié)氣) in China, and the Grain Rain(谷雨) is one of them. It falls on April 20th this year.

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 in the next two weeks, you may need to bring an umbrella with you.

This is a great time for planting crops. If you miss the time for planting during the Grain Rain, you will feel sorry later. So maybe you can try to plant some flowers or vegetables in your garden. When the spring rain falls, farmers begin to grow crops. Farmers often say, “Spring rain is as precious(珍貴的) as oil.” It brings farmers’ hope for a good year.

There are also many interesting customs during the Grain Rain. In the northern part of China people like to eat Chinese toon(椿芽) mixed with eggs. The food made during the Grain Rain tastes wonderful and is good for your stomach. In the southern part of China, the tea leaves are picked during the time. They are called Grain Rain tea, which is famous for its freshness and sweet smell.

【2】根據(jù)短文第三段Farmers often say, “Spring rain is as precious(珍貴的) as oil.” It brings farmers’ hope for a good year.可知，農(nóng)民們經(jīng)常說(shuō)“春雨貴如油”，雨水給農(nóng)民們帶來(lái)了一個(gè)豐收年的希望。由此可知這里填farmers’ hope。

【3】根據(jù)短文最后一段They are called Grain Rain tea, which is famous for its freshness and sweet smell. 可知，谷雨茶因?yàn)樾迈r和甘甜的氣味而出名。由此可知答案為Its freshness and sweet smell. / It’s famous for its freshness and sweet smell.

【4】根據(jù)第三段的文意可知，這一段介紹了谷雨對(duì)種植莊稼的影響，這一段的第一句話This is a great time for planting crops.“這是種植莊稼的好時(shí)機(jī)”是中心句。
