China’s Four Major Solar Terms
In traditional Chinese culture, there are 24 Solar Terms (节气) reflecting nature’s changes. Among them, four solar terms stand out as the most important, marking the start of four seasons and carrying rich cultural meanings.
Lichun (Start of Spring)
Lichun usually falls around February 4th, symbolizing the end of winter and the beginning of spring. It’s a time when the weather gradually warms up, and everything comes back to life. People have many interesting traditions to welcome spring: They attach “Spring Couplets” to doors, fly kites in open fields, and eat spring rolls to wish for a good harvest and health.
Lixia (Start of Summer)
Coming around May 5th, Lixia announces the arrival of summer. Temperatures rise, and crops grow fast. Farmers focus on irrigation, while people adjust their diet—eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, or “five colored rice” for good luck.
Liqiu (Start of Autumn)
Falling around August 7th, Liqiu is the signal that autumn is coming. The weather cools down, and it’s harvest time. Farmers gather crops, and families celebrate with meals -eating crabs and grapes. There’s also a tradition called “tasting autumn”, which means enjoying the first fruits of the season to appreciate nature’s gifts.
Lidong (Start of Winter)
Lidong usually arrives around November 7th, marking the beginning of winter. The temperature drops sharply, and many places start to see frost or even snow. People used to store supplies for winter, and now they often eat hot pot, dumplings or mutton soup to stay warm and healthy.
21．What do people do to welcome Lichun
A．Eat spring rolls. B．Start to plant trees.
C．Prepare new clothes. D．Cook five colored rice.
22．What does “tasting autumn” mean
A．Storing winter supplies. B．Enjoying first seasonal fruits.
C．Flying kites in fields. D．Celebrating with family meals.
23．What do people often eat on Lidong to stay warm
A．Fish. B．Mooncakes. C．Dumplings. D．Grapes.
Every culture has its own way of celebrating the arrival of a new year, and these traditions offer a fascinating look into local customs and values.
In Vietnam, Tet Nguyen Dan, or Tet, is the most important holiday. Families spend weeks cleaning their homes to sweep away bad luck. On New Year’s Eve, they gather for a feast with special dishes like banh chung (sticky rice cakes), which symbolize prosperity. Children receive red envelopes with money, and people visit relatives to exchange good wishes.
In Scotland, Hogmanay is celebrated with lively street parties, especially in Edinburgh. A popular tradition is “first-footing” — the first person to enter a home after midnight should bring gifts like shortbread or whisky to bring good fortune. Fireworks light up the sky, and people sing Auld Lang Syne at midnight.
In Japan, Oshogatsu is a time for reflection and new beginnings. Many people visit temples to pray for a good year, and families eat toshikoshi soba (long noodles) to wish for a long life. Homes are decorated with kodomatsu — arrangements of pine, bamboo, and plum branches, which represent longevity and resilience.
These diverse New Year traditions from around the world not only showcase the rich cultural heritage of different countries but also reflect the common values of family, prosperity, and new beginnings that unite people across the globe.
24．What is the most important holiday in Vietnam
A．Hogmanay. B．Oshogatsu. C．Tet Nguyen Dan. D．Auld Lang Syne.
25．What do Scottish people do during Hogmanay
A．Eat sticky rice cakes. B．Have street parties and fireworks.
C．Visit temples to pray. D．Clean their homes thoroughly.
26．Why do Japanese families eat toshikoshi soba

Imagine this: You had a late soccer game, and you’re hungry. Your mom agrees to stop by a pizza shop on the way home. It’s closing soon, but all of your favorite slices are still available. Phew! This is great news for you. But according to Chris MacAulay, it’s bad news for the environment.
When we go to a pizza shop at closing time expecting a full selection, or when we pick only the best apples at a grocery store, “We’re creating our own problem,” MacAulay, the vice president of operations in North America for Too Good To Go whose aim is to limit food waste, told TIME for Kids.
Too Good To Go wants extra food to land somewhere other than in the trash. The idea started in Denmark about a decade ago. Now Too Good To Go is the world’s largest marketplace for extra food.
The company connects people and businesses through an app. Users can search a map to find participating restaurants and grocery stores in their area. For a low price, businesses offer surprise bags or boxes of extra food. These can contain anything from pizza slices to baked goods. Users claim and pay for a bag or box, and then pick it up before the business closes for the day.
The app has more than 100 million users worldwide. “The more success we have at helping customers pick up a surprise bag, the more we’ve achieved our vision of ending food waste,” MacAulay says.
How can kids help reduce food waste “Get interested in food and where food comes from,” MacAulay suggests. “Participate in understanding how food ends up on the plate.” This can mean going on family grocery outings or being more thoughtful about portions. “Once you start to see the amount of waste, it’s really hard to unsee,” MacAulay says.
32．Why is the great news for you considered “bad news” for the environment
A．It reveals poor food service. B．It shows potential food waste.
C．It suggests uncertain food safety. D．It reflects weak food demand.
33．How does Too Good To Go work to reduce food waste
A．By advertising food in surprise boxes. B．By recycling restaurant’s wasted food.
C．By producing less food in the first place. D．By offering customers extra food information.
34．What is MacAulay’s advice for kids
A．To go on family outings. B．To support Too Good To Go.
C．To learn about food’s journey. D．To embrace a zero-waste lifestyle.
35．What can we learn from Too Good To Go
A．Still waters run deep. B．Time and tide wait for no man.
C．Trash can become treasure. D．Every cloud has a silver lining.

Our class had been preparing for the school sports meet’s 4×100-meter relay race for weeks. As the captain of the team, I felt both excited and nervous. Our team members — Li Ming, Wang Hong, Zhang Wei, and me — had practiced every afternoon after class. Li Ming was the fastest, so he ran the last leg; Wang Hong had steady hands for the first leg; Zhang Wei, with good reaction, took the second; and I was in charge of the third leg, connecting Zhang Wei and Li Ming.
The day of the race finally arrived. The playground was crowded with cheering students. When our names were called, we walked to the starting line, holding hands tightly and cheering for each other. “Remember, teamwork is everything!” I whispered to them.
The gun fired, and Wang Hong dashed out like an arrow. He ran fast and passed the baton to Zhang Wei smoothly. Zhang Wei accelerated immediately, keeping up with the leading runner. Soon it was my turn. I stretched out my hand, waiting for the baton. But suddenly, a student from another class bumped into Zhang Wei accidentally. The baton slipped from his hand and fell onto the ground!
I froze for a second. The other teams were rushing ahead. Zhang Wei looked panic-stricken, bending down to pick up the baton. At that moment, I remembered our promise — teamwork. Instead of blaming him, I shouted, “Hurry up! Pass it to me!” Zhang Wei handed me the baton, and I ran as fast as I could, trying to make up for the lost time. But when I reached Li Ming, we were still far behind the first two teams. Li Ming took the baton without a word, his eyes fixed on the finish line.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Li Ming started running with all his strength, his legs moving like wind.

W: My brother was into it and he used to take me to go to his games, but I didn’t think about trying it. That moment came when there was an exciting match on a sports program I was watching. Fortunately, a couple of friends did it too, so we all started playing it together.
M: Any advice for beginners of playing Ice hockey

【原文】Hi, everyone. If you’ve been with us from the beginning, you’ll know that we began our tour in Amsterdam, walked our way through Germany and Austria down into Italy, back up through Switzerland. And this week we are in Paris. We won’t spend much time at the big attractions in a tourist destination like Paris. Even a new traveller knows to see the famous art museums of Paris, and no one misses the Eiffel tower. But we’re going to some of the places the average tourist misses. For instance, the best view in town may not be from the top of the Eiffel tower, but from the top of the montparnasse tower. The view includes the Eiffel tower as well as everything else. It’s cheaper and easier to get up here. We can join a ride on a public bus. I like the views from line 63. To cover more territory, traffic and streets for you, I ride the subway. Many European cities have subway systems. The one in Paris is really amazing. You can go anywhere in town for a reasonable price. And don’t worry, getting lost is cheap. In fact, you could stay underground all day long on one ticket about the cost of a cup of coffee.

66．Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m Li Hua, a 17-year-old high school student who is passionate about environmental protection and wildlife. I keep fit by doing sports regularly, so I’m in good health to handle the two-week travel.
I’m writing to apply for the “Two-Week Eco-Travel round Australia”. I’ve long dreamed of visiting Australia to see its unique flora and fauna like kangaroos and eucalyptus.

I would be grateful for the opportunity. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Li Ming started running with all his strength, his legs moving like wind. We cheered loudly for him from the side, our voices hoarse but full of hope. Surprisingly, he quickly caught up with the runner in third place. Then, he narrowed the gap with the second one. When he was only a few meters away from the first runner, the crowd screamed even louder. At that critical moment, the first runner suddenly stumbled and almost fell. Li Ming didn’t hesitate to reach out his hand and helped him up.
After helping the first runner, Li Ming continued running. Although he lost a little time, his action won cheers from everyone. Finally, he crossed the finish line in second place. We rushed to him, hugging each other tightly. The headmaster came over and praised our team, saying, “You didn’t just run a race; you showed the true meaning of teamwork and kindness.” We all smiled proudly, knowing that the friendship and teamwork we had were more precious than any gold medal.
