Answer 1

分析 文章大意：在中國有24個節(jié)氣，其中的一個是谷雨，它是在今年4月19日． 這個節(jié)氣被稱為"谷雨"，因為它因有助于谷物生長的雨而著稱．從它的名字看，我們可以猜測這意味著是一個多雨的時期，所以如果你在未來兩個星期出門，你可能需要帶一把傘．但這是種植農(nóng)作物的好時機(jī)．如果在谷雨節(jié)氣，你錯過了種植期，你會感到后悔的．也許你可以試著在你的花園里種一些花或蔬菜．當(dāng)春雨來的時候，農(nóng)民開始種植莊稼．農(nóng)民常說，"春雨貴如油．"它提前給農(nóng)民帶來了一個好年景的希望．
還有谷雨期間很多有趣的風(fēng)俗．在中國北方，人們喜歡吃椿芽炒雞蛋．這種食物在谷雨時的味道好極了，對你的胃很有好處．在中國的南部，這時期茶葉被采摘．他們被稱為谷雨茶，因為它的新鮮和甜美而聞名．

解答 71．Twenty-four．（24．）細(xì)節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)文章第一段第一句There are 24 solar terms （節(jié)氣） in China，可知在中國有24個節(jié)氣，故填：Twenty-four．（24．）

74．Because spring rain is as precious as oil and brings farmers hope for a good year ahead．細(xì)節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)文章第三段中Farmers often say，"Spring rain is as precious （珍貴的） as oil．"It brings farmers hope for a good year ahead．可知"春雨貴如油．"它提前給農(nóng)民帶來了一個好年景的希望．故填：Because spring rain is as precious as oil and brings farmers hope for a good year ahead．
