Winter is the best season of the year. During the winter months, temperatures are usually lower and there are fewer hours of daylight. The winter months in most of China are December, January, and February.
Cold winter temperatures are caused by the tilting (倾斜) of the earth. When the earth’s Northern Hemisphere (半球) is tilted away from the sun, there are fewer hours of daylight and it’s much colder. When the Northern Hemisphere tilts towards the sun, daylight time is longer and it is much warmer. The tilting of the earth causes the seasons to change.
Animals have special ways of preparing themselves for winter. Some animals, like birds and butterflies fly far away, or migrate (迁徙) to warmer places during the winter months. Other animals go to sleep, or hibernate (冬眠) during winter. Bears, gophers, snakes, and bats hibernate. Squirrels and raccoons don’t migrate or hibernate. Instead, they save enough food during the autumn months, so they have plenty to eat during the winter.
In some areas, winter is a time when snow falls and gathers on the ground. People who live in these places can enjoy special winter activities like skiing, sledding, or snowboarding. They can also build snowmen and snow castles. When the water in lakes and ponds freeze, people can ice skate or play ice hockey. Some people even cut a hole in the ice and go ice fishing!

七、阅读短文，回答问题（10分）
冬天是一年中最好的季节。在冬季的几个月里，气温通常较低，白天的时长也更短。中国大部分地区的冬季月份是12月、1月和2月。
寒冷的冬季气温是由地球的倾斜造成的。当地球的北半球倾斜远离太阳时，白天的时长更短，天气也会冷得多。当北半球向太阳倾斜时，白天的时长更长，天气也会暖和得多。地球的倾斜导致季节发生变化。
动物们有特殊的方式来为冬天做准备。一些动物，比如鸟类和蝴蝶，会在冬季的几个月里飞到很远的地方，或者迁徙到更温暖的地方。其他动物会在冬天睡觉，或者冬眠。熊、囊地鼠、蛇和蝙蝠会冬眠。松鼠和浣熊既不迁徙也不冬眠。相反，它们在秋天会储存足够的食物，这样在冬天就有足够的食物可吃。
在一些地区，冬天是雪花飘落并堆积在地面上的时节。住在这些地方的人们可以享受特殊的冬季活动，比如滑雪、乘雪橇或者单板滑雪。他们还可以堆雪人和建雪堡。当湖泊和池塘里的水结冰时，人们可以滑冰或者打冰球。有些人甚至会在冰上凿一个洞去冰钓！
1. 中国的冬季月份有哪些？
12月、1月和2月。
2. 什么导致季节变化？
地球的倾斜。
3. 松鼠是如何为冬天做准备的？
它们在秋天储存足够的食物。
4. 最后一段主要讲了什么？
冬季的活动/特殊的冬季活动。
5. 你喜欢冬天吗？为什么喜欢或者为什么不喜欢？
喜欢。因为我喜欢在冬天堆雪人。/不喜欢。因为天气太冷了。

My Favourite Season in My Hometown
My Favourite Season in My Hometown
My favourite season in my hometown is summer. Summer comes with warm sunshine and higher temperatures, usually around 25 to 30 degrees. It is sunny, but sometimes we have showers. The sudden rain makes the hot air fresh and clean. I usually wear T-shirts and shorts to stay cool.
I like to sit under the shade of the trees by the quiet streams. It’s also great to enjoy ice cream in the lazy summer afternoons. Sometimes, I swim in the pool with my friends. The ninth solar term mangzhong comes in June. When mangzhong comes, crops grow well, and it’s also a perfect time for farmers to plant. My best memory is helping my grandparents harvest crops.
Summer here is really wonderful! I love summer.

### 我家乡最喜欢的季节
我家乡最喜欢的季节是夏天。夏天伴随着温暖的阳光和较高的气温，通常在25到30度左右。天气晴朗，但有时会有阵雨。突如其来的雨让炎热的空气变得清新洁净。我通常穿T恤和短裤来保持凉爽。
我喜欢坐在宁静小溪旁的树荫下。在慵懒的夏日午后享用冰淇淋也很棒。有时，我会和朋友们在游泳池里游泳。第九个节气芒种在六月到来。当芒种来临时，庄稼生长良好，也是农民播种的绝佳时机。我最美好的回忆是帮助爷爷奶奶收割庄稼。
这里的夏天真的很美妙！我爱夏天。
