【答案】BCAC
【分析】小雪是中国传统二十四节气中的第二十个，标志着轻雪降落和气温下降。今年的小雪从11月22日开始至12月6日结束，期间北方地区主要降雪，气温降至零下。此时，黄河流域初雪常见，夜间降雪可能会结冰，但白天通常会融化。小雪时节东北风频繁，尽管天气尚未严寒，但保护头部免受寒冷是明智之举。此外，小雪还影响了人们的饮食，室内取暖导致空气干燥，传统中医推荐喝热汤以缓解"内热"，如白菜豆腐汤、菠菜豆腐汤和羊肉萝卜汤等。南方人则享用糯米糕，这是历史上献给牛神的供品，现已成为季节性美食。随着气温骤降，也是制作腊肉的最佳时期，以便在春节时享用。过去储存条件不佳时，人们发明了许多保存食物的方法，腊肉便是其中之一。同样，腌制蔬菜也是典型的冬季食品，尤其在江苏南京等地
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段 "While snw at night may freeze，it typically melts during the day as the earth is nt yet frzen enugh." （小雪期间晚上可能会下雪结冰，但白天通常会融化。）所以人们可能在白天看不到雪，故选B。
（2）细节理解题。根据第二段提 "Accrding t an ld Chinese saying，'the head is the place where all passages f the bdy gather'.S it's wise t prtect ne's head frm the cld."（中国有句古话："头是身体各道汇聚的地方。"。因此，保护头部免受寒冷是明智的。"）可知，其目的是强调头部保暖的重要性，故选C。
（3）细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段 "In the past，due t incnvenient transprtatin，vegetables sld in Nanjing were few and expensive.Thus，peple there made pickled vegetable fr the winter." （过去，由于交通不便，南京出售的蔬菜很少，而且价格昂贵。因此，那里的人们为冬天做了泡菜。）可知，过去由于交通不便，冬季新鲜蔬菜获取不易，所以人们主要开始准备泡菜，故选A。
（4）主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了小雪节气的特点，以及在小雪期间人们的饮食习俗，如喝热汤、吃糯米糕、制作腌肉、泡菜等，还提到了一些相关的传统说法，所以主要是关于小雪期间的习俗和传统，故选C。

【分析】《二十四节气》被誉为中国古代的五大发明之一。霜降标志着秋季最后一个节气的开始，意味着中国各地开始出现霜冻。这个时期天气变凉，气温迅速下降，空气中的水珠最终结成冰，带来刺骨的寒风。人们认为霜降是秋天的最后一章和接下来冬天的开始。霜降时节，秋高气爽，是登山远眺的好时机。许多中国人认为在这一天去高地散步、欣赏大自然之美是个好主意。吃橙黄色的柿子是霜降的传统习俗。中国人认为这些橙色水果不仅能御寒，还能为人体提供丰富的维生素C。实际上，根据古代中医书籍记载，秋季吃柿子对各个年龄段的人都有益。霜降作为秋季的最后一个节气，对中国人来说既是结束也是新开始，他们努力工作以追求更幸福健康的生活。
【解答】（1）考查序数词。句意：它被称为中国古代第五大发明。根据空前定冠词the，可知空处应填序数词，故填：fifth。
（2）考查动名词。句意：作为第十八个节气，10月23日标志着霜降的开始，霜降在中国也称为"双降"。the beginning f（的开始），故填：beginning。
（3）考查动词。句意：霜降节气是指一年中霜冻开始席卷中国的时候。句子为一般现在时，主语The slar term Shuangjiang（霜降节气）为第三人称单数，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式，故填：means。
（4）考查连词。句意：在秋天，随着天气变得凉爽和寒冷，温度下降得如此之快，以至于空气中的水滴最终变得冰冷，同时也带来了致命的寒风。空处为that引导的宾语从句，故填：that。
（5）考查被动语态。句意：它被认为是秋天的最后一章和下一个冬天的开始。句子为一般现在时被动语态，由be+过去分词构成，故填：is thught。
（6）考查动词不定式。句意：霜降时节，秋高气爽，是徒步旅行和观赏高山美景的绝佳时机。空处应用动词不定式作目的状语，故填：t g。
（7）考查名词。句意：许多中国人认为这一天去高原散步并欣赏大自然的美景是个好主意。beauty f nature（自然之美），故填：beauty。
（8）考查介词。句意：中国人认为这些橙色水果不仅能御寒，还能为人体提供丰富的VC。根据rich VC（丰富的VC），可知空处表伴随，故填：with。
（9）考查副词。句意：实际上，正如中国古代医书所记载的那样，秋天吃一些柿子对所有年龄的人都有好处。空处位于句首，应用副词修饰整个句子，句子首字母大写，故填：Actually。
（10）考查形容词比较级。句意：霜降，作为秋季的最后一个节气，无疑是中国人民为更幸福、更健康的生活而努力的结束和开始。根据 happier （更幸福）可知空处应用形容词比较级，故填：healthier。
