Rain is the eldest child of the clouds. At times he is mild (温和的) and gentle, falling softly and lightly on the dry ground and giving water to the thirsty plants and flowers.

Snow is rain’s sister. In many parts of the world, she spreads a soft blanket of white over the bare, brown earth. That way she keeps the seeds of plants and trees alive all through the winter.

C [2024 合肥蜀山区期末]In northern China during spring, big sandstorms often make trouble for people. Sandstorms usually happen in spring. They have happened in more than 10 provinces in northern China this year. People in southern China don’t have to worry about this kind of bad weather. Most of the sand comes from the north of China. In northern China, lots of places have few trees and don’t get much rain. When there aren’t many trees, the ground can’t keep enough water. Over the years, the ground has dried up and turned to sand. When spring comes and the ice melts, the ground becomes loose. Strong winds take the loose sand into the sky. Besides, in northeast China, there lies some vast deserts. Sandstorms are bad for people’s health. If people breathe in too much sand, they will cough or have serious illnesses. Sandstorms also give farmers lots of problems. Sometimes their sheep get lost in the storms and never come back home. The winds also tear the farmers’ houses down. What can you do to stop sandstorms? Here’s a piece of advice. Ask your parents to help you plant some trees this spring. If you see people cutting down too many trees, tell them about the dangers of sandstorms, and ask your government to stop them. ( )63. What does the underlined word “loose” mean in the first paragraph?A. Rich. B. Poor. C. Soft. D. Big. ( )64. Which of the following is NOT a way to stop sandstorms?A. Plant more trees in spring. B. Stop people to cut down too many trees. C. Don’t stay outside when sandstorms happen. D. Tell people about the dangers of sandstorms. ( )65. Which is the best title for this passage?A. SandstormsB. How we can stop sandstormsC. Why sandstorms only happen in ChinaD. Sandstorms can influence most of the cities in ChinaDThe traditional Chinese calendar divides (划分) the year into 24 solar terms. In China, the 24 solar terms were created thousands of years ago to guide agricultural (农业的) production. But the solar term culture is still useful today to guide people’s lives through cultural activities. Great Heat, the 12th solar term of the year, began this year on July 22 and ended on August 6. During Great Heat, most parts of China enter the hottest season of the year. Here is something you should know about Great Heat. Great Heat is a season of harvesting (收割). During this time, the sunshine, high temperatures, and heavy rainfall are good for the plants. But many natural disasters (灾害) also happen. So, it’s important to harvest and plant in time. Sending the Great Heat ship is a tradition in Taizhou. The ship is full of all kinds of meat. More than 50 fishermen take turns carrying the ship as they walk through the streets. The ship will finally be pulled out of the port and burned at sea. People believe that is a symbol of good harvests and health. Great Heat is a season with most crickets (蟋蟀) in the countryside. The cricket fighting is a popular game for some people in China during this period. The custom dates back over 1,000 years ago. People in different places enjoy different food. For example, in southern Shandong, people would like to drink mutton soup. Grass jelly is very popular in Guangdong because there is a saying “Eating grass jelly in Great Heat will make you stay young”. ( )66. Ancient Chinese people created 24 solar terms to ________. A. keep a healthy life B. serve different foodC. help farming D. enjoy different food( )67. Great Heat lasted for ________ days this year. A. 6 B. 16 C. 22 D. 20( )68.

The most important part of his travels was his ten-thousand-mile journey to the southwest. He travelled from Zhejiang to Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi, Guizhou, and Yunnan. This journey took him four years and he wrote about ten times more than he did in the past. Xu lived his life travelling mountains and rivers all day long. He was an outstanding person in history.
