【分析】
A部分为选词填空题，解题时需先明确方框内每个单词的词义和词性，再结合上下文语境判断空格处所需的语义、词性，同时注意时态、单复数等语法变化：
1. 第1空：根据“precious（珍贵的）”和“when I was a child”，此处需要表示“回忆”的名词，且童年回忆不止一件，故用memory的复数形式。
2. 第2空：“24 Solar Terms”与“cold...on paper”对应，结合常识，节气属于日历内容，故填calendar。
3. 第3空：“useful（有用的）”后需接名词，结合“for daily life”，表示生活的“指南”，故填guide。
4. 第4空：固定搭配help sb. (to) do sth.，此处需要动词表示“理解”，故填understand/to understand。
5. 第5空：根据“After I left”可知时态为一般过去时，结合句意“它们陪伴着我”，故填follow的过去式followed。
6. 第6空：固定搭配“warmth of one's heart”表示“内心的温暖”，故填heart。
7. 第7空：“ancient（古老的）”后需接名词，24节气是古人的“智慧”，故填wisdom。
8. 第8空：become后接形容词，表示“变得流行”，故填popular。
9. 第9空：此处需要副词强调“尤其是在年轻人中”，故填especially。
10. 第10空：结合句意“这些节气从未消失”，助动词never后接动词原形，故填disappear。
B部分为汉译英题，解题时需准确把握中文句意，结合英语的固定搭配、时态和句式结构进行翻译：
1. 第1空：“湛蓝的天空”译为the blue sky；“如太阳般闪耀”译为shine like the sun，时态可根据语境用一般现在时或一般过去时。
2. 第2空：“为何在特定的时节发生”需用宾语从句，结合前面的helped，从句用一般过去时，故译为why things happened at certain times。
3. 第3空：“渴望做某事”用固定短语long to do sth.，“记录每一个节气”译为record each Solar Term，故整体为long to record each Solar Term。
4. 第4空：“贴近我们的内心”用固定短语be close to one's hearts，结合句意用一般现在时，故译为is so close to our hearts。
5. 第5空：需要用宾语从句表达“如何依然指引着人们的农耕活动”，故译为how the Solar Terms still guide people's farming activities。

Ⅱ. Read and answer the questions.
Saihanba is a forest park in the north of Hebei Province. It is about 400 km from Beijing. For hundreds of years, the emperors went there to hunt. But in the 1800s, things began to change. There were forest fires and wars, and people cut down many trees without considering that this would damage the ecological balance. Saihanba slowly turned into a desert.
When the forest disappeared, terrible sandstorms hit the Beijing area. People realised that they had to do something because the environment was getting worse and worse. In the early 1960s, a group of scientists travelled to Saihanba to find a solution. They found an old tree in the middle of the desert and wondered how they could still plant trees there. In 1962, the first planters arrived. The cold and dry weather made their work very difficult, and strong winds blew away many young trees brought from elsewhere. Then, they decided to plant trees suited to the local conditions of Saihanba. They understood that they couldn't go against nature but had to work with it. In winter, it got as cold as -40°C, but they persisted.
Three generations kept working and came to understand why patience and a good relationship with nature mattered. Thanks to them, Saihanba is green again now. Today, it is the world's biggest man-made forest, which helps provide the capital with clean water, and there are fewer sandstorms in the Beijing area now. This shows that humans must live in harmony (和谐的) with nature to have a better future.
()1. What did Saihanba become in the 1800s?
A. A forest. B. A park. C. A grassland. D. A desert.
()2. What did the first planters realise when working in Saihanba?
A. They could plant any trees if they worked hard.
B. Strong winds could help young trees grow better.
C. They had to work with nature instead of against it.
D. The cold and dry weather was good for tree growth.
()3. What's the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Three generations' hard work.
B. The success and benefits of Saihanba.
C. The importance of planting trees in the desert.
D. The size of the world's largest man-made forest.
4. What can you learn from the story?

Ⅱ. 1. D 2. C 3. B 4. One possible version: We should live in harmony with nature. If we work with nature and keep trying, we can improve the environment.
