阅读下面短文，按要求完成51~55题。
In China, there are 24 solar terms (节气) in a year. And there are six of them in winter. They are beginning of winter, light snow, heavy snow, winter solstice (冬至), lesser cold (小寒) and greater cold.
Beginning of winter usually falls on November 7th or 8th. After beginning of winter, most parts of the country can start to expect cold weather. On this day, after a year of hard work, people are happy to have a rest and spend time with family. The northern China celebrates beginning of winter as the “Small Spring Festival”. People usually have dumplings and mutton soup on that day.
Light snow usually falls on November 22nd or 23rd and heavy snow usually falls on December 7th or 8th. When winter solstice comes, it brings the shortest days of the year and the longest nights. Many places around the country can expect the coldest weather yet. People often start counting “nine cold periods” starting from winter solstice. Every cold period has nine days. People believe that after 81 cold days, spring will come.
Greater cold comes after lesser cold. The field is covered with snow. And all Chinese are ready to welcome the Spring Festival after it. Of course, a new round of solar terms will start.

Everyone has received some gifts. The most special gift I have received is a camera.
Whenever I see the camera, it makes me think of my grandfather. He gave it to me as a gift five years ago. The camera plays an important role in my life. It not only helps me record my life, but also tells me never to give up.
I failed an exam and went home unhappily that day. When my grandfather found out what happened, he took some photos on the street with his camera and showed them to me. In the pictures, some people were happy while others were not. Grandpa encouraged me, saying “Life is full of ups and downs, but it is colorful.” I leamed from him that not being afraid of difficulties is the greatest thing in the world.
I will keep the camera and take good care of it forever.

Do you care about your neighborhood? Joseph Beer really cares about his neighborhood. Last summer holiday, the 15-year-old boy found he had lots of time in hands. However, he didn’t spend his time playing video games or watching films. He did some things meaningful for his neighborhood.
The outdoor areas in Joseph’s neighborhood were not in good condition. Some road signs were dirty and some were covered with branches. Seeing this, Joseph decided to clean the signs and cut down the branches.
According to his mom, Joseph would go out in the morning, spend all day going around the neighborhood and tidying things up. He wouldn’t go home until late in the evening, and he would do it again the next day. He was tired but happy.
After some time, people in his neighborhood saw his hard work. They shared before-and-after photos of the signs he cleaned online. Many people were touched by his simple act of kindness. They were so thankful that they even gave away money to him. However, Joseph didn’t spend the money on new tools or even something for himself. He donated it to a local food bank for families in need.
Joseph is happy to see their tidy neighborhood. For him, that is the best payoff for his hard work. It gives him a strong feeling of satisfaction and he plans to keep going.

Ⅷ.任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，按要求完成51~55题。
In China, there are 24 solar terms (节气) in a year. And there are six of them in winter. They are beginning of winter, light snow, heavy snow, winter solstice (冬至), lesser cold (小寒) and greater cold.
Beginning of winter usually falls on November 7th or 8th. After beginning of winter, most parts of the country can start to expect cold weather. On this day, after a year of hard work, people are happy to have a rest and spend time with family. The northern China celebrates beginning of winter as the “Small Spring Festival”. People usually have dumplings and mutton soup on that day.
Light snow usually falls on November 22nd or 23rd and heavy snow usually falls on December 7th or 8th. When winter solstice comes, it brings the shortest days of the year and the longest nights. Many places around the country can expect the coldest weather yet. People often start counting “nine cold periods” starting from winter solstice. Every cold period has nine days. People believe that after 81 cold days, spring will come.
Greater cold comes after lesser cold. The field is covered with snow. And all Chinese are ready to welcome the Spring Festival after it. Of course, a new round of solar terms will start.

Everyone has received some gifts. The most special gift I have received is a camera.
Whenever I see the camera, it makes me think of my grandfather. He gave it to me as a gift five years ago. The camera plays an important role in my life. It not only helps me record my life, but also tells me never to give up.
I failed an exam and went home unhappily that day. When my grandfather found out what happened, he took some photos on the street with his camera and showed them to me. In the pictures, some people were happy while others were not. Grandpa encouraged me, saying “Life is full of ups and downs, but it is colorful.” I leamed from him that not being afraid of difficulties is the greatest thing in the world.
I will keep the camera and take good care of it forever.
