Question

【題目】閱讀短文, 并按要求完成 文后小題。

In early spring, the changing temperature usually makes a number of Chinese people uncomfortable. Cold air, bringing rain or even snow, easily tears up(破壞) the warmth of the spring within a night(一夜之間).

However, with the coming of Guyu-the Grain(谷物) Rain, the blue sky and gentle winds would finally stay. Falling usually on or around April 20 every year, Guyu is the sixth of the 24 solar terms(節(jié)氣). It means the beginning of a lively summer and people get busy from now on.

Sow(播種) grains

This is an important period of the growth of grains. The ancient Chinese already knew that as Guyu comes, the weather will become warm enough for sowing. The farmers usually catch the chance to plant rice, corn and beans.

Hope for safety and harvest

For those living near the sea, they will hold some ceremonies(儀式) on Guyu, hoping for safety as well as harvest during the coming fishing season.

Watch the peony

It’s also a great time to see the peony(牡丹), which is known as “the Queen of All Flowers” in Chinese culture. As a result, watching peonies becomes one of the most enjoyable activities for many people. The flower is said to be the favourite of Empress(女皇) Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, who was the only woman ruler in Chinese history.

Pick tea leaves

Tea leaves picked before Guyu are among the best tea leaves. People believe that the tea leaves picked on the day of Guyu can make eyes clear and drive away bad luck. So the habit of drinking tea at this time of year has become a tradition in some places of China.

本文是說明文。文章主要介紹了節(jié)氣谷雨的時間，特征，以及人們在谷雨這個節(jié)氣進行的活動。

【1】根據(jù)“Falling usually on or around April 20 every year”可知每年的谷雨在四月二十日或其左右。故填on or around April 20。

【2】根據(jù)“the weather will become warm enough for sowing.”可知谷雨來了后，天氣就變得溫暖，適宜播種。故填warm enough for sowing。

【3】根據(jù)文章可知谷雨的活動有:(1) Sow grain (2) Hope for safety and harvest (3) Watch the peony (4)Pick tea leaves。故填 (1)Sow grain. (2)Hope for safety and harvest. (3)Watch the peony . (4)Pick tea leaves. (回答其中任意兩條, 即可得分)。

【4】整篇文章介紹了谷雨的時間以及活動等事情，故可以用“谷雨”作為標(biāo)題。故填(One/The sixth of the 24 solar terms-)Guyu/The Grain Rain。

【5】as a result“結(jié)果”；one of…“其中之一”；the most enjoyable“最令人愉快的”。故答案為“結(jié)果, 對于很多人來說, 觀賞牡丹成為最令人愉悅的活動之一�！�
