It’s wintertime. According to the Chinese lunar calendar (农历), November, December, January and February are winter months. They include six solar terms: lidong, xiaoxue, daxue, dongzhi, xiaohan and dahan.
Lidong (Nov 7-8) is the start of winter. After lidong, most parts of the country are very cold. On this day, after a year of hard work, people are happy to take a break and spend some time with family. The northern part of China celebrates lidong as the “Small Spring Festival”. People have dumplings and eat mutton (羊肉) soup.
Xiaoxue (Nov 22-23) and daxue (Dec 6-8) come after lidong. During xiaoxue, northern China can snow and temperatures slowly fall below 0℃. Daxue means even more snow and bigger temperature drops.
When dongzhi (Dec 21-23) comes, it brings shortest days of the year and the longest nights. Many places around the country can be cold yet. Ancient (古代的) Chinese would often start counting ”nine cold periods” (数九寒天) from dongzhi. Every cold period (一段时间) has nine days. They believed that after 81 cold days, spring would arrive.
Xiaohan (Jan 4-6) usually brings the low temperatures of the year. There may be high winds and snow.
Finally, during dahan (Jan 19-21), the snowy weather fills the fields with snow. All Chinese are ready to welcome the Chinese New Year after dahan. Spring Festival, China’s most important festival, falls at this time. After that, a new round of solar terms will start.
( ) 59. What does the underlined phrase “solar terms” mean in this passage?
A. 学期 B. 条款 C. 期限 D. 节气
( ) 60. People in the north celebrate lidong by doing the following except ________.
A. taking a happy break B. being with friends C. having dumplings D. eating mutton soup
( ) 61. When does the Chinese New Year come?
A. After dahan. B. Before dahan. C. After dongzhi. D. Before dongzhi.
( ) 62. Where can we read this passage?
A. In a storybook. B. In a fashion book. C. In a sports book. D. In a science book.
D
This is the word “family” written in Chinese “家”. It’s a pictographic character (象形文字). The “宀” looks like the roof (屋顶) of a house, and the ”豕” is a pictographic character for “pig”, which is developed from a picture like this:

The word “家” with a pig under the roof of a house may show the importance of domestic animals (家畜) to traditional Chinese families.
There is a strong feeling between parents, children and other family members. The father is usually very strict with their children. Parents work very hard to set a good example for their children, while children study hard. Brothers and sisters in the family are very friendly and helpful to each other. All the family members make an effort to live a happy life.
Our ancestors (祖先) will be part of our life and a warm memory forever. ________ We remember our ancestors, not for any advantages for ourselves but to make our feelings more active. Whenever we think of them, they make us stronger inside.
Everyone values the idea of “making all the members of the family happy”. We should all have this same idea as the great “China dream”. There are thousands of families in China, just because every family goes well, China is getting better and better.
( ) 63. The word “家” may show us ________ are important to traditional Chinese families.
A. houses’ roofs B. domestic animals C. more children D. hard-working fathers
( ) 64. Which of the following sentences may be put in?
A. Every family has their own warm houses. B. We would like to live and study in the past.

Many people spend their vacation doing nothing on a beach, but Kisty Ross wanted to do something different. “I spent three weeks working in the hot sun, digging to find pieces of old cups and plates,” she says. “I worked really hard all day and I slept in a tent at night. My friends thought I was crazy, but I had an amazing time, it was my best vacation ever!”
Kisty was working for a volunteer programme in Tunisia in North Africa. Over twenty-five young volunteers worked together on archaeological sites (考古遗址) to find important information about the past. The volunteers had to be very careful, because it was important not to damage the things they found. Many of them worked at Tunisia’s Biggest archaeological site in Carthage, and some of them worked in other important sites in the country. Kisty explains why she chose this vocation. “I am always interested in history, and Tunisia has a lot of very important archaeological sites. There were people living in Carthage as early as 3, 000 years ago. I love being in places that are so old. It is exciting to find pots and other things that people used every day”
It was harder for Kisty than for some of the others. “I come from Alaska, which is a cold place.” she says. “It was hard for me to work under the hot North Africa sun. But it was a wonderful chance to meet people from other countries and to learn about the past. It changed my life. Now I’m hoping to study archaeology in college.”
根据上面短文的内容, 回答问题。(每题答案不超过六个单词)
24. How long did Kirsty work under the hot North African sun on her vacation?
25. What did Kirsty think of her vacation?
26. How many volunteers were there in the volunteer program?
27. Why does Kirsty choose this vacation?
28. What’s the weather usually like in Alaska?

November is the final exam season, and everyone worries about it. As a student with some exam experiences, I want to share some tips that have helped me face final exams.
First, no waiting. I usually begin my review about two weeks earlier. Although the exam preparation starts about one week before the final exam. Don’t start it when we are worried by a lot of homework and tests. No one in the final weeks will have much memory of what they learnt in one week. I usually go through the notes I took to refresh (恢复) my memory. This helps me get the parts that I do not understand well and be better prepared for the practice exams that I do later. At least, it gives me a sense of control. This can be very important when you lose yourself.
Second, don’t stay up. A lot of people stay up late reviewing before the exam, but this is not healthy at all. Sleep is necessary to get back our situations. In fact, sleep can help strengthen (增强) our memories! I recommend this based on (依赖于) my personal experience—I always feel tired the next day if I go to sleep after 2 a. m. Without enough sleep, I can’t stay thinking. We don’t need to review instead of sleeping time.
Third, study with friends. This may not work for everyone, but I personally find it helpful. Having friends to study with not only provides us with chances to find out blind spots in our understanding but also allows us to have different ways, which are helpful in problem-solving. Also, studying with friends can keep me thinking, and talking to them can make me calm.
根据上面短文内容填空, 每空一词。
29. The article gives us ________ pieces of advice on how to face the final exams, because the final exams always ________ every student.
30. No one in the final weeks will have much ________, so we had better begin our review ________.
31. ________ through the notes helps me get the parts that I do not understand well and be better ________ for the practice exams.
32. It is ________ to stay up late reviewing before the exam. To get back our situations, we’d better have enough ________.
33. Having friends to study with can ________ us chances to find out blind spots in our understanding, It also allows us to have different ways and help solve ________.
