作业练习
Reading comprehension The seasons — winter, spring, summer, and autumn — are caused by Earth’s tilt and its orbit (轨道) around the Sun. Earth doesn’t stand straight up as it moves around the Sun. Instead, it is tilted at an angle of about 23.5 degrees. This tilt means that, at different times of the year, different parts of Earth receive more or less direct sunlight. When the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, the Northern Hemisphere (where countries like the U.S., China, and Europe are located) gets more sunlight. This makes days longer and temperatures warmer, creating summer. At the same time, the Southern Hemisphere (including Australia and South America) gets less sunlight, making it winter there. Six months later, Earth moves to the opposite side of the Sun. Now, the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, bringing summer to the Southern Hemisphere and winter to the Northern Hemisphere. The equator (赤道), however, stays warm all year because it always receives direct sunlight. Places near the poles have very cold winters and less cold summers because sunlight there is always spread out over a larger area. Fun Fact: Some people think seasons happen because Earth gets closer or farther from the Sun. But actually, Earth’s distance from the Sun changes very little — it’s the tilt that really matters!

Tropical regions near the equator (e.g., parts of the Amazon rainforest, Indonesia) typically have only a rainy season and a dry season. Polar regions (e.g., Antarctica, the Arctic) experience only a very cold winter and a less cold summer. 2. Introduce one Solar Term related to a traditional festival. Possible answer: The Solar Term “Pure Brightness” is related to the Qingming Festival. During this Solar Term, people not only celebrate new life in nature, but also show respect for their ancestors. Families usually sweep tombs of their ancestors and have some outdoor activities. 3. Write an article about your favourite season. I love spring My favourite season is spring. It is neither too hot nor too cold. Everything around comes to life. I always enjoy spring here in my hometown. It is sunny and windy in spring with the temperature between 10℃ and 20℃. During this season, you can see beautiful flowers everywhere. The trees turn green again. The whole world becomes colourful. Spring is a great time to get close to nature. My friends and I often go hiking in the mountains to enjoy the fresh air. It is also great fun to learn how to plant trees. Moreover, we often fly kites in the park on sunny weekends because it makes us feel relaxed. Spring in my hometown is really wonderful. It is a perfect time for many outdoor activities, and it brings new life to everything around us. I always feel cheerful in spring!教学设计
