11、er the day of the Winter Solstice (冬至). There are many different customs related to Minor Cold in China. Eating hotpot During Minor Cold people should eat some hot food to benefit the body and defend against the cold weather. Winter is the best time to have hotpot and braised mutton with soy sauce.
12、But it is important to notice that too much spicy food may cause health problems. Eating huangyacai In Tianjin, there is a custom to have huangyacai, a kind of Chinese cabbage, during Minor Cold. There are large amounts of vitamins A and B in huangyacai. As huangyacai is fresh and tender, it is fit
13、for frying, roasting and braising. Eating glutinous rice (糯米饭) According to tradition, the Cantonese eat glutinous rice in the morning during Minor Cold.

14、 Nanjing took Minor Cold quite seriously, but as time went by, the celebration of Minor Cold gradually disappeared. However, the custom of eating vegetable rice is still followed today.

17、ts and sweet potatoes, to the forests which are damaged by the recent wildfires. The fires are reported to have killed more than a billion wild animals and destroyed a land of more than 84 thousand square kilometersabout twice the size of Maryland. What is worse, most Australians are worrying about
18、when the wildfires will be fully put out. “The home of several important wallabies (沙袋鼠) was burnt in the recent fires,” New South Wales Environment Minister Matt Kean said on Sunday. Kean said the drops are what wallabies need. The plan is designed to help wallabies and allow them to recover. Fire
19、seasons often take place in the country, but this year the fires have been quite devastating. The country experienced one of its hottest and driest years, which made it harder to put out the fires. Besides wild animals, the fires have taken the lives of at least 25 people and destroyed more than 2,0
20、00 homes. “I think theres nothing to compare with the damage thats going on over such a large area so quickly. Its a big event in terms of geography and the number of wild animals,” Dickman, an animal protection expert, said in an interview with NPR last week. “We know that the number of Australian
21、wild animals has been going down over the last several decades, and its probably fairly well known that Australias got the worlds highest rate of extinction of animals,” he added. “Its events like this that may increase the speed of extinction of a lot of other animals.

Although the amputation caused misfortune for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her b
26、est life. To spread the message, Gallagher has taken to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the globe. Besides, she writes her location across her artificial leg before taking a picture. Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the ca

Gallaghers Summer HolidaysDGlobal warming does more than just kill plant species it also changes the way plants grow. Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle Wittenberg(MLU) joined forces with the
34、 Leibniz Institute for Plant Biochemistry(IPB) to discover the molecular (分子) process of plant growth. In Current Biology, a scientific journal, they presented their findings on high-temperature plant growth. This could lead to developing plants that can survive global warming. Plants react to even
35、small temperature changes, but they are unable to move to new locations. “When temperatures rise, plants grow taller . to cool themselves off. Their stems become taller, and their leaves become narrower and grow farther apart. Yet, this makes the plant more unstable overall,” explains Professor Marc
36、el Quint, an agricultural scientist at MLU. Unstable plants bend faster in the rain and produce less food thats also less nutritious. Theres still lots to learn about plant reactions to temperatures. “We are just starting to understand how plants feel the changes in temperature .,” Quint says. Earli
37、er studies have shown that the protein (蛋白质) PIF4 directly controls plant growth and is also dependent on temperature. When its cold, PIF4 is less active, meaning the plant doesnt grow. At higher temperatures, PIF4 activates growth-promoting genes, and the plant grows taller. This is new information
38、, says Quint. To understand it, they studied the growth of thale cress (拟南芥) seedlings. Normally, its seedlings form short stems at 20. These stems become much longer at 28. They discovered a hormone (荷尔蒙) that activates the PIF4 at high temperatures, thus producing the protein. The findings may hel
39、p to develop plants that remain stable even at high temperatures and produce many crops. 32. Why did the researchers at MLU and IPB conduct their research? A. To study the negative effects of global warming. B. To find out how plants help reduce global warming. C. To observe how global warming affec
40、ts plant growth. D. To understand the ways that plants cause global warming. 33. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. Low temperatures have little impact on plants. B. Plants prefer dry weather to rainy weather. C. Plants are very sensitive to change in soil. D. High temperatures reduce crop produ

It is a plant hormone that works at high temperatures. 35. Who will probably benefit most from the findings?
42、A. Farmers. B. Teachers. C. Researchers. D. Environmentalists. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving Day, falling on the Friday after the fourth Thursday in November. 36 On Black Friday, Many people choose to take trips to visit f
