难句分析
＞ It only appears for a few weeks in the early summer in southern China, mainly in Zhejiang Province. 它只在初夏出现在中国南方, 为期仅数周, 主要在浙江省。
for a few weeks 意为“持续数周”。in the early summer 意为“在初夏”。
in southern China意为“在中国南方”。mainly in Zhejiang Province意为“主要在浙江省”, 对in southern China起到补充说明的作用。

Friday 选词填空
本文介绍了杨梅的生长特点及相关考古发现，证实杨梅在约4 500年前便已存在，这充分体现了其在中国源远流长的历史。
1. F “for+一段时间”表示“持续……”，是固定用法。a few weeks表示一段时间，故选F。
2. A 由前句It only appears... a few weeks in the early summer... 可知，杨梅只在初夏出现在中国南方，为期仅数周，如果错过了，就要等一年，填year，故选A。
3. D 空格后“古人也喜欢杨梅”是人们从考古发现中得知的内容，tell意为“告诉”，符合语境。tell sb (that) ... 意为“告诉某人……”。
4. E 空格后“在湖南省、广东省的西汉古墓里的杨梅残块”是人们发现的内容，又因为事情发生在过去，用一般过去时，填find的过去式found，故选E。
5. B 由下文One is 2 metres long and the other is 2.2 metres long. 可知，在浙江余姚施岙遗址出土了两根树枝，填two，故选B。
6. C 由语境可知，这两根树枝来自一棵距今约4 500年的杨梅树。be from是固定搭配，意为“来自”。
