五、阅读理解（15 分）
阅读短文，选择最佳答案。
Passage 1
The four seasons in different parts of the world are not the same. In some places, spring is short and cool, while in others, it's long and warm. For example, in the north of Canada, spring comes in late May. The snow melts, and the ground becomes soft. People plant vegetables in their gardens, but they have to be careful—sometimes there are late snowfalls.
In contrast, spring in Thailand starts in February. It's hot and dry, with temperatures often over 30°C. The trees are green all year, but in spring, many flowers bloom. People celebrate the Songkran Festival in April, where they throw water to welcome the new season.
Summer is a busy time for farmers worldwide. In Japan, farmers harvest wheat in early summer. In Australia, which is in the southern hemisphere, summer is from December to February. They have barbecues on the beach and enjoy cool sea breezes.
Autumn brings different colors. In New England, USA, the maple trees turn bright red and orange. Tourists come from all over to see the beautiful leaves. In India, autumn is called "post-monsoon" season. The rain stops, and the weather becomes pleasant.
Winter in Norway is long, with only a few hours of daylight. People ski and ice fish. In Brazil, winter is mild, with temperatures around 20°C. They have football matches in the parks, and families go on picnics.

Passage 2
Animals have different ways to deal with seasons. Some animals "hibernate" in winter, which means they sleep for a long time. Bears are a good example. They eat a lot in autumn to store fat, then find a cave to sleep through winter. Their body temperature drops, and they don't need to eat or drink.
Other animals "migrate"—they move to warmer places in winter. Birds like swallows fly south in autumn. They return in spring when the weather gets warm and there is more food. Salmon, a kind of fish, migrate too. They swim upstream to lay eggs in spring, then return to the ocean.
In spring, many animals give birth. Deer have their babies in spring because there is plenty of grass. Baby birds hatch from eggs, and their parents feed them with insects that become active in warm weather.
Summer is a time for growth. Young animals learn to find food and avoid dangers. Foxes teach their cubs to hunt, while turtles lay their eggs in the sand, where the summer sun keeps them warm.
Autumn is a time to prepare. Squirrels collect nuts and hide them in trees for winter. Bees store honey in their hives. Even some insects, like ladybugs, gather in groups to stay warm.
( ) 6. What do bears do in autumn to prepare for winter
They hibernate in caves.
They eat a lot to store fat.
They migrate south.
( ) 7. Why do swallows fly south in autumn

Passage 3
People's activities change with seasons, and this is especially true for festivals. Let's look at some seasonal festivals around the world.
In spring, many cultures celebrate new life. In Japan, cherry blossoms bloom in late March to early April. People have "hanami" parties under the trees, eating and drinking with family and friends. It's a time to enjoy beauty and new beginnings.
Summer festivals often involve water. In Spain, La Tomatina is held in August. Thousands of people throw tomatoes at each other in the streets. It's messy but fun, and it helps cool down in the hot weather.
Autumn festivals often celebrate harvests. In China, the Mid-Autumn Festival is in September or October. Families gather to eat mooncakes and admire the full moon, symbolizing unity. In the USA, Thanksgiving in November is a time to give thanks for a good harvest with a big meal.
Winter festivals bring light and warmth. In Sweden, St. Lucia Day is on December 13th. Girls dress in white and carry candles, bringing light to the dark winter. In India, Diwali, the "Festival of Lights", is in October or November. People light lamps and fireworks to welcome prosperity.

六、书面表达（范文）
Seasons and My Life
Seasons have a big influence on my life. In spring, the warm weather makes me energetic. I often go jogging in the park after school and feel happy to see flowers bloom. Summer is hot, so I prefer staying indoors in the afternoon, reading books or eating ice cream. But evenings are great for swimming with friends.
Autumn brings cool air and colorful leaves. I like riding my bike to the countryside, where I can pick fruits with my family. Winter is cold, but I enjoy it too. I wake up later and often have hot chocolate. On snowy days, building snowmen with my brother is the best part.
Each season has its own charm. They make my life varied and interesting. I love how seasons change, as each brings new experiences.
