解析

1. 第1空:根据前后文,“24 节气中的第九个,在小满和夏至之间”,表示“在……之间”,用“between”。
2. 第2空:“It usually...”这里表达芒种通常开始于 6 月 5 日左右,主语是 it,一般现在时第三人称单数形式,“begin”要加“s”。
3. 第3空:“它……农民在这个时期的生活”,结合语境是“描述”,主语是 it,“describe”要用第三人称单数形式。
4. 第4空:“他们也需要及时……小麦和蔬菜”,根据语境是“收获”,“need to do sth.”,所以用动词原形。
5. 第5空:“长江中下游进入雨……”,这里应该是“季节”,“rainy season”表示雨季。
6. 第6空:“所以这个长时间的雨天或阴天……梅雨季节”,是“被叫做”,用被动语态“be + 过去分词”。
7. 第7空:“梅雨可能不令人愉快,但梅酒在中国已经……几千年了”,这里表达“受欢迎”,用“popular”,结合“has been”可知是现在完成时。
8. 第8空:“梅子对人们的……有益”,结合语境是“健康”,“people's”后接名词。
9. 第9空:“因此,中国人通常用它们酿酒……直接吃”,是“而不是”,“instead of”表示而不是。
10. 第10空:“……变得越来越高”,根据后文“为什么不做些梅子饮料来享受夏天呢”,可知是“温度”。

五、短文填空
你知道芒种吗?在中文里,它被称为芒种,是二十四节气中的第九个节气,**在**谷芽(注:此处“Grain Buds”指“小满”)**和**夏至**之间**。它通常在6月5日左右**开始**,并在6月21日左右**结束**。
“芒种”在中文里是“忙着播种”的双关语。它**描述了**这段时期农民的生活是什么样的。农民需要种植各种作物,比如豆类和红薯。他们还需要及时**收割**小麦和蔬菜。
在这段时间里,长江中下游地区进入了多雨的**季节**。在中国南方,这个时期被称为梅雨季节。梅雨通常发生在6月和7月。李子在这个时候成熟,所以这个漫长的、多雨或多云的夏季时期被**称为**梅雨季节。梅雨可能让人不愉快,但梅酒几千年来一直很受中国人**欢迎**。李子对人们的**健康**有益。然而,新鲜的李子尝起来是酸的。因此,中国人通常用它们来酿酒,**而不是**直接吃它们。他们还会用李子制作酸梅汤和话梅。
气温变得越来越高。为什么不做一些梅子饮品来让自己享受这个夏天呢?
