It is the 13th of China’s 24 solar terms. This day usually comes on August 7 or 8. In 2025, it starts on August 7. Though autumn begins, hot weather often stays. People call this the “Autumn Tiger” (秋老虎). Changes in Nature Mornings and evenings get cooler after Liqiu. You may see yellow leaves on some trees and hear fewer cicadas (蝉) chirping. Farmers are busy because it’s harvest time for corn and cotton. In southern China, people prepare for typhoons (台风) and heavy rain. Special Customs Chinese people do these things to celebrate Liqiu: - Tie Qiu Biao (Eating meat): In the north, people eat roast duck or meat to become stronger after the hot summer. - Ken Qiu (Biting Autumn): Families in the south eat watermelons together. They believe it helps drive away the summer heat. - Sun-drying Crops: In mountain villages like Huangling, villagers dry red peppers and golden corn in the sun. It creates colourful “autumn pictures”. Staying Healthy Doctors advise eating pears, honey and lilies (百合). These foods keep our lungs healthy in the dry autumn air. Also, wearing a light jacket in the morning can prevent colds. A Season of Hope An old Chinese saying tells us: “A cool morning at Liqiu brings a good year.” Though days are still warm, Liqiu brings hope for harvests and cool winds. It reminds us that every ending is a quiet new beginning. 46．What does “Liqiu” mean in Chinese? A．The End of Summer. B．The Start of Autumn. C．The Middle of Autumn. D．The Beginning of Winter. 47．When will Liqiu start in 2025? A．On August 6. B．On August 7. C．On August 8. D．On August 9. 48．Why do people call the lingering hot weather after Liqiu “Autumn Tiger”? A．Because tigers are active in autumn. B．Because it’s as hot as a tiger’s anger. C．Because hot weather continues despite autumn starting. D．Because tigers appear more often in this period. 49．What change can people notice in nature after Liqiu? A．Mornings and evenings become hotter. B．More cicadas start chirping loudly. C．Farmers begin planting corn and cotton. D．Some trees get yellow leaves. 50．Which custom is popular in southern China during Liqiu? A．Eating roast duck to get stronger. B．Sharing watermelons to drive away summer heat. C．Drying crops in mountain villages. D．Wearing heavy coats in the morning. B In a rainforest there are tall trees. The top of these trees is called the canopy. Scientists want to learn about the canopy. However, it has not been easy to get to the top of these trees. Now, Meg has climbed to the top of trees all over the world in the following ways. A walkway is like a bridge. It goes between the trees. Walkways in the rainforest were Meg’s idea. Now, they are used by many people. But a walkway cannot be made at the top of the trees. Meg has reached the very top of trees. One way she loves to reach the very top is by raft (充气船). The raft is filled with air. A hot air balloon drops the raft onto the trees. Scientists can stand on the raft and look into the trees. A tower crane (塔吊) is another way to get to the top. The crane can go up and down. Scientists are learning about life in the canopy. They have learned that there are millions of insects eating the leaves in these tree tops. Meg’s job is to keep finding out more. She wants to help find the secrets of tree tops. 51．What’s the canopy? A．The foot of the trees. B．The middle of the trees. C．The top of the trees. D．The side of the trees. 52．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指的是)? A．The bridge. B．The walkway. C．The canopy. D．The rainforest. 53．How can scientists reach the canopy? a. By walkway.  b. By raft.  c. By tower crane.  d. By plane. A．abc B．abd C．acd D．bcd 54．What can we learn from the text? A．Meg has climbed to the top of trees all over the world. B．A raft is like a bridge, which goes between the trees. C．A walkway can take scientists to anywhere in the trees. D．Meg has ever slept in trees because she hates her families. 55．What will Meg probably do next? A．Build more walkways at lower forest levels. B．Stop using hot air balloons in her work. C．Invent a new tool for reaching the highest tree tops. D．Study soil instead of tree canopies. C Historically, people explored the ocean to find new ways to travel around the world or to start new trade routes. Today, we pay more attention to the ocean itself in the ocean exploration. In recent years, new technology has made it easier to dive (潜水) into the deep sea. Better submarines (潜艇), robots and cameras now allow scientists to explore areas people couldn’t reach before. China’s Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel (大洋钻探船) can now be added to the list. Believe it or not, we know more about space than we do about the deep sea. Since 1969, only three have dived to the Mariana Trench’s deepest point. Even more shocking? Although the ocean covers about 71% of Earth’s surface, 95% of it is unexplored. Why does so much of the ocean remain unknown? Part of the reason is that it’s difficult to explore. Sure, it’s hard to get a spaceship into space. But remember that in space, you can see things. The deep sea, however, is hopelessly dark. Getting a light down there that can shine far enough is no easy task. That being said, ocean exploration is worth the risk and cost. The ocean is connected to all of us and plays a role in everything from the air we breathe, the food we eat and the transportation of the goods we buy to weather and longer-term climate trends (趋势). The deep ocean also holds huge amounts of oil, gas, metals and so on. 56．Why didn’t scientists reach the deep sea in the past? A．They didn’t think it was worth the risk. B．They didn’t have high-level technology. C．They thought there was no need to do it. D．They wanted the knowledge from shallower waters. 57．What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A．Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel is popular with tourists. B．Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel is mainly used for trade. C．China has made great progress in ocean exploration technology. D．China is the first country to explore shallower and deeper waters. 58．Why does the writer mention space in the passage? A．To prove the interest of ocean exploration. B．To show the necessity of space exploration. C．To show the difficulty of ocean exploration. D．To prove the importance of space exploration. 59．What does the underlined word “task” refer to? A．Inventing a new light. B．Seeing the things in space. C．Getting a spaceship into space. D．Sending a bright enough light down. 60．What can we learn from the passage? A．Deep ocean exploration is important and necessary. B．The ocean influences the long-term climate trends most. C．We have explored most of the resources in the deep waters. D．The ocean coverage is large and we have explored most of it. 五、补全对话（本大题共 5 小题，每小题 1 分，共 5 分） 根据对话内容，选择恰当的句子将对话补充完整（选项中有两项是多余的）。 (Now Wei Le and Li Jian are talking about famous people.)

Some scientists think that it started to grow in two places. They think that one kind of rice grew in Asia many years ago.

People in many countries do all of the work of growing rice by hand. This is the same way farmers worked hundreds of years ago. In some countries, people now use machines (机器) on their rice farms. People use every part of the rice plant. They make animal feed and rice oil (油) from it. They make other useful things such as baskets, shoes and roofs (屋顶) for their houses from it.
