Several weeks passed and my dancing didn't get any better. Then my dance teacher told us that we were going to perform in a show. I was afraid of falling on my face in front of hundreds of people and made my mom sad.
I practiced hard for the show, but I still didn't get the hang of it. Finally, I went to my mom to tell her how I felt. She just laughed and told me she would teach me all she knew about ballet. My mom quickly found out how bad at ballet I was, but she still taught me with the greatest patience, love and understanding. When I jumped and fall, she was there to catch me. When I lost my balance, she held me up. By the time the show arrived, I was as prepared as I could be.

①One of the best parts of autumn is its beautiful colors. Normally green leaves turn into red, orange, yellow and finally brown. This is called “leaf phenology" (叶片物候),and many people look forward to it every year. However, because of climate(气候) change, autumn is changing.
②According to a study, the season length is growing, meaning that it is taking longer for leaves to change their colors. And this is not the only way that climate change is destroying the season.
③"Trees are holding onto their leaves longer," explained Dr. Howard, a climate scientist. "In my own neighborhood, I can remember that the leaves would drop a lot sooner 20 years ago than they do now This is a personal opinion, but research actually supports this phenomenon(现象) we're finding."
④Climate change isn't only causing the leaves to change later. We can also expect later frosts(霜) according to Dr. Michael,, a teacher of a University. Michel said," That means pests(害虫)will be active for a longer time in autumn, causing a greater health danger to human beings."
⑤if there is no good news at all, though, we may be able to avoid this development. Michael said that if humans control their carbon dioxide emissions(二氧化碳排放),they can still stop the worst effects of climate change."A new study recently shows that warming will likely stop after carbon emissions reach zero," Michael said in his recent comment for Live Science.
33. Which of the following is one of the effects of climate change on autumn
A. The season length is becoming shorter. B. Loaves are changing their colors earlier
C. Leaves are staying on the trees longer. D. There are more frosts in autumn.
34. What can we infer from Dr. Michael's words in paragraph 4
A. Pests will disappear completely if there are earlier frosts.
B. Later frosts in autumn is good for people's health.
C. People should try to kill pests in autumn.
D. The longer pests are active, the more dangerous it is for people
35. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage
A. To tell readers about the beautiful colors of autumn.
B. To introduce the research of Dr. Howard and Dr. Michael.
C. To show bow climate change is affecting autumn.
D. To draw people's attention to environmental protection.
36. Which of the following is the best structure of the passage
第二节阅读短文,从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,其中有一个多余的选项
The Chinese solar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms, with Awakening of Insects (惊垫) being the third. It falls on March5 and lasts until March19 this year. In ancient Chinese stories, when the loud spring thunder(雷)cracks(破裂)the sky, it wakes up the sleeping insects. 37
This time marks the start of spring and brings a rise in temperature and rainfall. 38
The warm weather also makes the earth come alive again. There is more rain and sunlight, which are great for faming. Famers say," Once the Awakening of Insects come, spring plowing(犁地) never rests." Chinese people in ancient times found that in the first five days, peach blossoms bloomed, in the second five days, black-naped oriole (仓庚) birds started singing, and in the third, eagles hid but pigeons appeared.
39 One popular one is eating pears. Some believe pears help cool the body, especially when the weather gets hot. Others think eating pears can keep pests away from crops and bring good harvest. 40 In Guangdong and Hong Kong, there is a fun tradition called" Villain Hitting (打小人)"People hit paper shaped like troublemakers to bring good luck and get rid of bad things.
A. People have different traditions during Jingzhe.
B. In some places like Jiangsu and Shanxi, eating pears during this time is thought to keep you
healthy and happy all year long.
C. This special time is called Jingzhe, or "the Awakening of Insects".
D. It is not the thunder waking the insects, but the warm weather wakes them up from their
winter sleep.
E. So the first spring thunder appears at different times in different areas.

Huang Xuhua, an outstanding Chinese scientist, is widely known as the "Father of China's Nuclear Submarines"(核潜艇). He was born on March 12,1926, in Guangdong. In his early years, China was in a mess. Japanese planes often made attacks on Chinese cities. From then on, he made up his mind to study shipbuilding, believing that it was the key to making China stronger.
Building China's first nuclear submarine was a highly secret project, so for more than 30 years, Huang Xuhua was kept away from his family. Whenever he thought of his family, a strong feeling of guilt (愧疚) would hit him, but his sense of duty to the country always won out.
The working environment was not good at all. Without modern computers, Huang and his team had to use simple abacuses to do difficult figuring(计算). However, their hard work finally produced fruits. In 1970,China's first nuclear attack submarine, Long March No.1,was ready for sea tests and entered service(服务) in1974,making China the fifth county in the world to own this powerful weapon(武器).
In 1988, at the age of 62, he still went to the research center often, hoped to pass on his knowledge and experience to the young people. His story is a powerful reminder that we should always run after our dreams and give our time and energy to our country, no matter how many difficulties lie ahead.
