答案 1—5
[2026 江苏扬州期末]What season is it in October? If you ask people from the UK, most of them will tell you it's “autumn”. But if you go to the US, you will find that people use both “autumn” and “fall”. 1
According to Dictionary. com, both words have been around for a long time, but they were not the first to describe this season. During this season, crops would become ripe and farmers would have a big harvest（丰收）. 2
Then, in the 1600s, more people left their farms and moved to cities. With fewer people farming, the word “harvest” became less useful. English speakers needed a different name for the season. 3 So people started calling it “the fall of the leaf”, or “fall” for short.
4 More and more people started to use “autumn”. It slowly replaced “fall” as the word for this season.
At the same time, British people were making their first trips to North America. 5 That's why today's Americans have two names for one season.

to $-10° C$”, you’ll put on your down jackets (羽绒服) before going out for work or school.
