Question

【題目】 Cinyee Chiu, an artist from Taiwan, is always happy to try something new. Her amazing works won lots of prizes. Among them, “24 Solar Terms(節(jié)氣)” is the most popular.

Ancient Chinese divided a year into 24 parts according to the changes of the weather. It's the 24 solar terms. But not everyone knows them well. Cinyee Chiu put the 24 solar terns in pictures to help people understand them better.

Cinyee turned each solar term into an animal. But these animals are not just animals. You can also find seasonal fruits, vegetables or beautiful flowers on them.

When spring comes, water gets warm and fish start to swim around. So Cinyee chose fish as a symbol of Start of Spring. Also, she drew spring vegetables, Chinese chives on the back of the fish.

White Dew falls on about Sept. 8. It shows the beginning of the cool autumn. There are colorful leaves and cooler nights at this time of year. As the temperature falls, white dew(露珠) is often seen on the grass and trees at night. For White Dew, Cinyee chose a raccoon—a small animal with thick hair. She drew white spots(小圓點(diǎn)) on the raccoon to show dew. And she used the dragon fruit to show the rich colors in autumn.

【解析】

本文介紹了來自臺灣的藝術(shù)家Cinyee Chiu是如何用動物來展示24節(jié)氣的。Cinyee把每個節(jié)氣都變成了一種動物。并且通過兩個例子：魚代表立春；浣熊代表白露。來加以說明。最后說明了這位年輕的藝術(shù)家使中國古代文化煥然一新。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)句子So Cinyee chose fish as a symbol of Start of Spring. 因此，Cinyee選擇魚作為立春的象征。和句子For White Dew, Cinyee chose a raccoon—a small animal with thick hair. She drew white spots(小圓點(diǎn)) on the raccoon to show dew. 對于白露這一節(jié)氣，Cinyee Chiu選擇了一只浣熊——一種長著濃密毛發(fā)的小動物。她在浣熊身上畫了白點(diǎn)（小圓點(diǎn)）來表示露水。可知，作者舉了兩個例子來說明Cinyee的“24節(jié)氣”。故選A。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Cinyee chose a raccoon—a small animal with thick hair. Cinyee選擇了一只浣熊——一種長著濃密毛發(fā)的小動物�？芍�，A不對；選項(xiàng)B的句子Start of Spring falls on about Dec. 8. 立春大約在12月8日左右。短文中并沒有提到，因此B不正確；根據(jù)原文White Dew falls on about Sept. 8. It shows the beginning of the cool autumn.白露在9月8日左右。它顯示了涼爽的秋天的開始。因此選項(xiàng)C. White Dew shows the end of the autumn白露表示秋末。是錯誤的；根據(jù)第五段的句子She drew white spots(小圓點(diǎn)) on the raccoon to show dew. 她在浣熊身上畫了白點(diǎn)（小圓點(diǎn)）來表示露水�？芍�，Cinyee使用白點(diǎn)來顯示露水。因此本題正確的答案為D。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題干問哪一幅圖不可能來自Cinyee的24 節(jié)氣。根據(jù)Cinyee turned each solar term into an animal. Cinyee可知，Cinyee把每個節(jié)氣都變成了一種動物。而圖片D是“畫了一只鳥的立春圖”，是掛歷性質(zhì)的一幅圖片，所以該選項(xiàng)不可能來自于Cinyee的24 節(jié)氣。故選D。

【4】主旨大意題。根據(jù)Among them, “24 Solar Terms(節(jié)氣)” is the most popular. 其中，“24節(jié)氣”最受歡迎。以及下文的兩個例子，主要用來說明Cinyee是如何用動物圖片來展示24個節(jié)氣的。故選C。
