【題目】The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Grain Rain (Chinese: Gu Yu)，as the last term in spring, starts on April 19 and ends on May 4.

Grain Rain came from the old saying, “Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains,” which shows that this period of rainfall is extremely important for the growth of crops. The Grain Rain marks the end of cold weather and a rapid rise in temperature. Here are five things that you may not know about the Grain Rain.

Key time for agriculture

Grain Rain brings a marked increase in temperature and rainfall and the grains grow faster and stronger. It’s a key time to protect the crops from insect pests.

Sandstorms occur

Grain Rain falls between the end of spring and the beginning of summer, with infrequent cold air moving to the south and wandering cold air in the north. From the end of April to the beginning of May, the temperature rises much higher than it does in March. With dry soil, an unpredictable atmosphere and heavy eastern winds, gales and sandstorms become more frequent.

Drinking tea

There is an old custom in southern China that people drink tea on the day of Grain Rain. Spring tea during Grain Rain is rich in vitamins and amino acids (氨基酸), which can help to remove heat from the body and is good for the eyes. It is also said in the south that drinking tea on this day would prevent bad luck.

Eating toona sinensis

People in northern China have the tradition to eat the vegetable toona sinensis during Grain Rain. An old Chinese saying goes “toona sinensis before the rain is as tender as silk”. The vegetable is nutritious and can help to strengthen the immune system. It is also good for the stomach and skin.

Grain Rain Festival

The Grain Rain festival is celebrated by fishing villages in the coastal areas of northern China. Grain Rain marks the start of the fishermen’s first voyage of the year. The custom dates back to more than 2,000 years ago, when people believed they owed a good harvest to the gods, who protected them from the stormy seas. People would worship the sea god and stage sacrifice food on the Grain Rain festival, praying for a wonderful harvest and a safe voyage for their loved ones.

【1】Grain Rain got its name to show ________.

A. the cold weather is already gone

B. rain at this time is important to the crops

C. The highest temperature

D. the last term in lunar calendar

【2】People in southern China drink tea on this day ________.

A. to prevent bad luck

To achieve determination, we need the followed steps. First, we should adopt a positive attitude towards fail. Although some smokers have tried in vain to give up smoking over a hundred of times, they should continue their attempts and view their previous failure part of their success because they have tried after all. The same is true which it comes to our daily life. Even if we run into unexpected difficulties, we should stay optimistic after reaching our goal. Second, when accomplishing a task, we should make the plan. If smokers can't quit smoking once and for all, they can reduce the amount of cigarettes they have per day until this bad habit is dropped complete. In our daily life, we should also arrange our tasks in order to importance — the most urgent first, the less important to follow.

【題目】閱讀理解

Washington: NASA has announced evidence that Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, has a saltwater ocean under its icy surface. The ocean seems to have more water than all the water on Earth's surface, according to new Hubble observations.

New Hubble observations of Ganymede's magnetic field strongly suggest that the moon, which is the largest in our whole solar system, is home to a subsurface ocean.

Scientists estimate that the oceanis 95 kilometres thick, which is about 10 times deeper than Earth's oceans. But unlike our salty waters, Ganymede's ocean is buried under 150 kilometres of ice.

While scientists have speculated (推測(cè)) since the 1970s about the presence of an ocean on Ganymede — the largest moon in our solar system — until now the only observational evidence came from a brief flyby by the Galileo spacecraft, which didn't observe the moon long enough to confirm a liquid ocean.

This discovery marks an important milestone, highlighting what only Hubble can accomplish. In its 25 years in orbit, Hubble has made many scientific discoveries in our own solar system. A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth.

Scientists_have_already_confirmed_the_existence_of_an_ocean_on_Europa,_another moon orbiting Jupiter, and NASA has announced plans to send an unmanned mission there searching for the life that might come with liquid water.

Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth, but because of its impressive gravitational analyses it can be used to study the inside of far distant planets. Using these same principles, scientists could theoretically detect oceans on distant exoplanets as well.

【1】What can we learn about Ganymede from the passage?

A. It is a planet with the largest moon in our whole solar system.

B. Its ocean adds to people's excitement about life beyond Earth.

C. It will be used by NASA as a base for the Hubble telescope.

D. Its liquid ocean was first proved by the Galileo spacecraft.

【2】Which of the following best describes the writer's attitude towards Hubble?

A. Cautious. B. Doubtful.

C. Negative. D. Favourable.

【3】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 6 mean?

A. An underground ocean has been found in Europa.

B. The presence of an underground ocean in Europa is not possible.

C. It is now certain that there is an ocean on Europa.

D. No evidence has shown the existence of an ocean on Europa.

【4】What type of writing does this passage belong to?

A. A term essay.

B. A news report.

C. An experiment report.

D. An exploration review.
