For some people, one of the best parts in autumn is that they can finally 6 outdoor activities. They can say things like “It looks like it's about to rain.

四、阅读理解。
Many countries have four seasons each year. What causes these seasons We get our warmth from the sun. The earth takes one year to go around the sun. It is always tilted(倾斜的) to one side. When the North Pole is tilted towards the sun, the northern part of the world has summer and it is winter in the south. The in-between times are spring and autumn.
In some parts of the world, the weather is always hot, and winter never comes. These are the countries around the equator(赤道 ). Do you know anything about the equator It is a line drawn around the middle of a globe of the earth. It is halfway between the two poles.
What affects temperature
Temperatures get colder the higher you go. If you climbed a mountain, you would be much colder than if you were at sea level. For every 1,000 metres we climb, the temperature drops about 6℃.
Even mountains in very hot parts of the world may have snow or ice on them all year round. Tanzania is a country in Africa that lies on the equator. Mt Kilimanjaro is its highest mountain at 5,900 metres high and it has some ice on the top right through the year— though not as much as it used to have.
temperatures
Does the time of day affect the
temperature Yes. In the middle of the day, it is usually warmer because the sun is more directly overhead. In the morning and again in the evening, it is often cooler than in the middle of the day. It is because the sun is lower in the sky and the slanting(倾斜的) rays have to go through more atmosphere. Atmosphere is important to living things on the earth. Without the atmosphere, it would be burning hot every day and freezing cold every night.
During the day, the atmosphere is like a filter. It keeps the hottest rays of the sun from reaching the earth. At night, the atmosphere is like a blanket. It traps the heat radiated from the earth, preventing it from escaping into space too quickly.
1. Which part of a magazine is the passage most probably taken from
A. Health. B. Fashion.
C. Culture. D. Science.
2. Which word is the most suitable for“ ”

3. What can we learn from the passage
A. It doesn't have any ice on the top of mountains in Africa.
B. Countries around the equator only have one season, cold winter.
C. When the South Pole is tilted towards the sun, the northern part has winter.
D. If the temperature at sea level is20℃, it is 15℃ in a place which is3,000 metres above.
答案
-1. As 2. shade 3. lazy 4. temperature5. memories
二1. D 2. C 3. C
4. D【解析】根据诗歌的结构与特点可知，d为开头，引出主题；b描述冬天的特征；c阐述严寒对人的影响；a为结尾，表达对即将到来的春天的向往和希望。所以诗歌正确的顺序为d-b-c-a。
三1. a perfect time to fly 2. covered her face with hands 3. leaves turn brown, fall into piles upon the ground 4. As he got/ grew older5. forget the days of harvesting crops
四1. D【解析】通读全文可知，本文主要从科学的角度介绍了关于季节的形成、地球温度的变化和大气层等知识，因此本文最有可能选自杂志的“科学”版块。
2. C 【解析】根据倒数第二段的主旨句“Does the time of day affect the temperature ”可知，本段主要介绍一天中不同的时段温度的变化，C项意为“每天的”，适合放在空处。
3. C 【解析】根据第一段中“When the North Pole is tilted towards the sun, the northern part of the world has summer and it is winter in the south.”可知,当北极向太阳倾斜时,北半球是夏季，南半球是冬季。由此可推知，当南极向太阳倾斜时，北半球是冬季，南半球是夏季。

四、信息还原。
When did you last see a polar bear On a trip to a zoo, perhaps If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole Polar Bear Club. These “Polar Bears” are people who meet frequently in winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3°C, and the water temperature was a little higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York, are usually about the age of 60. 1 First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group and this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Second, the Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.
Doctors don't agree about the medical effects of cold-winter swimming. Some are worried about the danger of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops.
2 Their research shows the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.
3 They say that their favourite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统) because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.
The main benefits of cold-water swimming are probably mental(精神的). 4 As one 70-year-old woman says, “When I go into water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away.”
A. The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits of cold-water swimming.
B. The Polar Bears love to swim all year round and they find it fun and relaxing.
C. Other doctors point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming.
D. Members must satisfy two requirements.
E. You may never hear about the club.

A Spring Morning (by Meng Haoran) This spring morning in bed I'm lying, Not to awake till birds are crying. After one night of wind and showers, How many are the fallen flowers!
Spring (by William Blake, UK) Sound the flute, now it's mute; Little boy, full of joy; Bird's delight, day and night; Little girl, sweet and small; Nightingale, in the dale; Cock does crow, so do you; Lark in sky, merrily; Merry voice, infant noise; Merrily, merrily to welcome in the year. Merrily, merrily to welcome in the year.
The first poem may be one of 3 (famous) poems about spring in China. It's so simple that people can 4 (easy)remember it. The poet doesn't say how much he loves spring. Instead, he writes that the birds are singing, the wind is blowing and the flowers 5 (fall) down. The way he talks about these things shows us the 6 (happy) during springtime. Instead of talking about the bright colours of flowers, Meng writes about the sounds of spring. He hears birds singing in the morning and remembers the sounds of the wind and rain at night. Writing about these sounds lets 7 (read) feel the beauty of spring.
William Blake's poem celebrates the coming of spring as a way 8 (bring) us joy. As spring comes, nature jumps into a new life. This means the 9 (begin) of the new year. The birds in the poem are joyful day and night. It seems that the boys and girls speak of all the things so 10 (active). Through “merrily”, the poet shows how happy he and others are to welcome spring.
As you are reading this article, spring is on the way.

When you think of winter, which word comes to your mind Cold Dark Snow Ice When the weather turns terrible, we can stay in warm houses and enjoy nice food, but wild animals may not have this fun. So how do animals spend the long cold winter months
Some animals make journeys to warmer places once a year. We call this migration. They sometimes travel thousands of miles by land, air, or sea to reach their winter home. Small monarch butterflies travel from all over the country to spend their winters in Mexico. Caribou(北美驯鹿) have one of the longest land migrations, travelling over2,000 miles! But not all migrations are as long as the examples. Some birds make shorter migrations from high mountains to lower lands to find better places with less snow and more food. This type of migration is about changes in height.
If winter makes you want to sleep, you' re not alone. Some animals hibernate for part or all of the winter. This is a special, very deep sleep. There are a few different types of hibernation. For example, a bear will eat a lot of food to build up fat reserves. During hibernation, its body temperature drops, and its heart beats more slowly. A bear's heartbeat may drop from around 55 beats per minute to just 9 beats. The bear can sleep for months without eating or drinking, using its fat for energy.
Instead of going to warmer places or sleeping through the winter, some animals spend the winter by changing bodies with seasons. Some animals may grow a thicker and warmer winter coat. Some other animals change the colour of their fur. For example, the snowshoe rabbits are usually brown in summer, but they change the colour of their fur into the colour of snow in winter for better hiding.
What about you Will your mind, body or action change in the wintertime Do you go to a warmer place for holiday or just stay at your comfortable home Or maybe you really enjoy taking part in some outdoor activities in winter. No matter how you like to spend the winter, spring is just around the corner.

Culturally, Macao is also famous for its mix of Portuguese and Chinese traditions. You can see this in its buildings, food, and customs. The Historic Centre of Macao is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It shows the rich culture of the city.
