這是一篇說明文。主要說明了大雪是一年中第21個(gè)節(jié)氣，從今年的12月7日開始，到12月22日結(jié)束。在大雪期間，雪變得很大，并開始在地面上堆積。溫度明顯下降。文章說明了一些大雪時(shí)應(yīng)該知道的幾件事。

【1】本句為第一段最后一句，有啟示下文的作用，結(jié)合后文主要說明了一些大雪時(shí)人們需要注意的事情，故C選項(xiàng)“以下是關(guān)于大雪你應(yīng)該知道的幾件事”符合上下文語(yǔ)境，故選C。

【2】根據(jù)后文The natural scenery is “ice blockading for hundreds miles and snow flying through thousands miles”. In the South, the snowflakes fly and the world turns white.可知這里的自然風(fēng)光是“數(shù)百里的冰封，數(shù)千里的飛雪”。在南方，雪花飛舞，世界變成白色。由此可知，本句是在說明北方下雪的情況，故F選項(xiàng)“中國(guó)北方的雪可能會(huì)持續(xù)一整天，折斷樹枝，阻塞道路”符合上下文語(yǔ)境，故選F。

【3】根據(jù)本段第一句Wintersweet usually blossoms in mid-to-late December in some southern cities of China.可知在中國(guó)南方的一些城市，臘梅花通常在12月中下旬開花。由此可知本段說明的是冬天賞臘梅花的事情，后文中Wintersweet可對(duì)應(yīng)到A選項(xiàng)Appreciating wintersweet。故A選項(xiàng)“欣賞臘梅花”符合上下文語(yǔ)境，故選A。

【4】根據(jù)上文Lamb is the main food chosen by Chinese people during Major Snow.可知在大雪期間，羊肉是中國(guó)人的主要食物。由此可知，本句承接上文繼續(xù)說明大雪期間吃羊肉的對(duì)身體的好處。故G選項(xiàng)“它對(duì)滋養(yǎng)身體、促進(jìn)血液循環(huán)和御寒有極好的作用”符合上下文語(yǔ)境，故選G。

【5】根據(jù)上文During Major Snow, it is drier and colder, so people should drink more water.可知在大雪期間，天氣更干燥、更冷，所以人們應(yīng)該多喝水。由此可知，本句承接上文繼續(xù)說明喝水的注意事項(xiàng)。故D選項(xiàng)“同時(shí)，運(yùn)動(dòng)后不要喝冷水”符合上下文語(yǔ)境，故選D。
