這篇短文主要講述了中國人的智慧，在以前沒有天氣預報和網(wǎng)絡的時代，人們通過研究太陽的軌跡和自然環(huán)境的變化，推演和總結(jié)出24節(jié)氣的變化規(guī)律，用于指導他們的生產(chǎn)和農(nóng)耕。

【1】根據(jù)下文“They are following the 24 Solar Terms(節(jié)氣), which is an important part of Chinese culture. And on Nov. 30th, 2016, the United Nations (UN）added it to the List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity” 他們遵循24節(jié)氣，這是中國文化的重要組成部分。2016年11月30日，聯(lián)合國將其列入《人類非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)名錄》�？芍�上文是“What’s the secret?”秘訣是什么？故選D。

【2】根據(jù)下文“So, weather changes were important. But of course, they had no satellite, Internet or weather broadcast to help them.” 所以，天氣變化很重要。當然，他們沒有衛(wèi)星、互聯(lián)網(wǎng)或氣象廣播來幫助他們。可知上文是“當時，大多數(shù)中國人以農(nóng)業(yè)為生�！备鶕�(jù)題意，故選E。

【3】根據(jù)下文“They studied the sun’s movement with a sundial（日冕儀）.They also paid attention to other natural changes such as temperature, water and crops growth. In the end, they worked out the 24 Solar terms to mark the changes.” 他們用日晷研究太陽的運動，還注意到其他自然變化，如溫度、水和作物生長。最后，他們制定了24個太陽術(shù)語來標記這些變化。可知上文是“But people found a way.”但是人們找到了一個方法。根據(jù)題意，故選B。

【4】根據(jù)下文“For example, the solar terms jingzhe（驚蟄）is when insects wake up from a long sleep in the cold winter. Farmers take it as a sign of warm weather and get busy working.” 例如，太陽術(shù)語“驚蟄”是指昆蟲在寒冷的冬天從長時間的睡眠中醒來。農(nóng)民們把這看作是天氣暖和的標志，忙著干活�？芍�上文是“The terms became their guide to farming work.”這些術(shù)語成了他們從事農(nóng)業(yè)工作的指南。故選C。

【5】根據(jù)下文“For example, people will say, “Do not show your feet after Hanlu(寒露).” Why? It’s because the solar term “Hanlu” marks the coming of the cold days.” 例如，人們會說，“不要在寒露之后露出你的腳。”為什么？這是因為“寒露”這個節(jié)氣標志著寒冷日子的到來�？芍�上文是“Now, people still use the solar terms in daily life” 現(xiàn)在，人們在日常生活中仍然使用太陽術(shù)語。故選A。
