The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms (节气). It starts from the beginning of Spring and ends with the Greater Cold, moving in cycles. It is still useful today to guide people’s lives through special foods, cultural ceremonies and even healthy living tips.
Grain Buds (小满), the 8th solar term of a year, begins on May 21 this year, and ends on June 4. It means that the seeds (种子) from the grain are becoming full. During the Grain Buds, summer harvest is about to begin. A saying about rain during this time mentions, “Heavy rainfall makes the river full.” Because of the great increase (增长) in rainfall, rivers are full of water. This is a good time to enjoy fish. It is also a harvest season for fishermen.
Frost’s Descent (霜降), the 18th solar term of the year, is the last solar term of autumn. The weather becomes much colder than before and frost begins. The apple is one kind of recommended (推荐的) fruit during Frost’s Descent. There are many sayings about apples ’ benefits (益处) in China, such as “Eat an apple after meals. Even old men can be as strong as young men.”
Minor Cold (小寒) is the 23rd one. For most areas of China, it marks the start of the coldest days of the year and people always start preparing for the Lunar New Year. According to traditional Chinese medicine thoughts, people need to eat food that has more yang (阳) energy to prevent cold from harming their bodies. Another important traditional food for Minor Cold is Laba porridge (腊八粥).
29. Which is the last solar term of a year

Circles can be found everywhere in the natural world, but with no exact way to measure (测量) thc. They are very mysterious (神秘的) and might never be completely understood. When you take the distance around a circle and divide it by the distance across a circle, you will always get Pi. While Pi is about 3. 14 when round ed, it is endlessly long. With the help of computers, mathematicians (数学家) have been able to work Pi out to over a trillion decimal places (小数点后万亿位). This makes Pi mysterious, even to the most famous mathematicians.
Pi Day is celebrated on March 14, since the way we write this date, 3/14, looks just like Pi when rounded. In 2009, U.S. Congress voted to formally make March 14 Pi Day. Certain parts of the world --- places where March 14 is written as 14/3 --- will instead celebrate Pi Approximation Day which takes place on July 22nd because of the division (除法) result of 22/7.
Pi has appeared in movies, comics, music, and more. “In modern movies, any time the filmmaker wants to create a sense of mystery, the symbol Pi is used,” says Blatner. People also love working to remember the digits ( 数 位 ) of Pi and competing against others to see who can remember most. The Guinness World Record for remembering the most digits of Pi is held by Lu Chao of China, who successfully remembered Pi to nearly 67,000 decimal places.
Above all, Pi Day is about having fun with the number, according to Blatner. People will celebrate Pi Day by eating pie and throwing pie, and with fun Pi-related games. Princeton, New Jersey holds a series of Pi-related festivities. Events this year include a surprise birthday party for Albert Einstein whose birthday also falls on March 14, and a “Walk a Pi Event” where participants will walk 3. 14 miles together. Just like the number itself, the possibilities for Pi Day are truly endless.
33. What makes Pi mysterious
A. Ways to divide a circle.
B. Ways to use it when rounded.
C. Being unable to write it as an expression.
D. Its endless decimal places.
34. Why is Pi Day celebrated in some places on July 22nd
A. Because it is announced (宣布) formally.
B. Because it was corrected originally.
C. Because the division result is similar to Pi.
D. Because that day is easier to remember.
35. What is the purpose of using Pi in films according to Blatner
A. To move more viewers.
B. To call for viewers ’ attention.
C. To make the films more frightening.
D. To add something mysterious to the film.
36. What can we learn from the text
A. Lu Chao is the first Chinese to recite Pi.
B. Many states in the USA celebrate Pi day on July 22nd.
C. There are many different events to celebrate Pi Day in the world.
D. Scientists will try their best to work out the digits of Pi thoroughly.

“Please take my penny,” said Maggie to old Dan, the fisherman, who sat on a bench repairing his nets. Her brother Andrew drew her back, whispering, “Maggie, he is not a beggar (乞丐) !”
But Maggie paid no attention. “Please take it,” she said again. Old Dan smiled, and took it. “Thank you, little miss,” he said, “It is kindly meant.”
After that, Maggie went to the beach to gather shells. She never thought how fast the hours were passing until being tired, she sat down on a rock beside a little pool. Soon she was scared by a noise near her, and Dan’s large dog Rover jumped down from a rock!
He licked her hands and made a loud noise, and then began gently to pull her coat. “Rover wishes me to come away, I see,” she said, and she rose from the rock and began to go home. However, that was not so easy as she had expected. She found the places she had gone down easily very difficult to climb up, and as the tide (潮水) had been coming in for some time. She found some of the stones wet and smooth.
What could poor Maggie do She felt sad and cried, but the waves made a much louder noise than she could make, and perhaps she would have been drowned (淹死) without good wise Rover.
Rover jumped upon a big stone and raised his loud bark until even the waves could not drown it.
The fisherman had taken his nets to the top of the cliffs (悬崖), and was laying them out in the sun when he heard the loud barking of a dog. He felt sure that it was Rover, and Rover in trouble, so, going to the edge of the cliffs, he looked over. There he saw it all --- Rover barking for help, and the little child standing beside him.
“Bless her! It is the little one that was so kind-spoken to me this morning!” he cried, and he hurried to his sons ’ home.
“Quick, boys, quick!” he said. “Get to the boat, and row fast to the bay (海湾). There is a poor child there just waiting to be drowned.” The fishermen lost no time, and soon little Maggie and Rover were rowed safely to land! Old Dan was waiting there to lift her out, and give her into her mother’s arms.
“It was the penny that did it, madam,” he said to Mrs. Weston later. “I saw Rover looking at her when she put the penny so kind-like into my hand --- just as if he would have said, ‘Rover will be your friend now, little girl. ’ And I am thinking he had been looking after her all the day, for he never came near me after that.”
Some years later, Rover came to Maggie's home with a little note, in which was written --- “Will Maggie help Rover --- his master is dead.”
37. Which word can best describe Maggie
A. Funny. B. Helpful. C. Creative. D. Silly.
38. Who rowed Maggie to land safely
A. Rover. B. Old Dan. C. Old Dan’s sons. D. Andrew.
39. From the end of the story, we can guess that .
A. Maggie refused to be Rover’s new master
B. Rover felt sad about Mrs. Western’s death
C. Rover lived with Old Dan until his master died
D. Maggie became Rover’s master at once after she was saved
