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.

[2026 江苏无锡期末]Every city has a weather station. The workers need to collect weather data (数据). Then they make a report about the weather. The weather changes a lot, so it’s difficult for them to get the data. Sometimes they have to walk in the wind and snow.
Here is a chart (图表) about the 2023 weather data in a northern city in China.

Then why do the workers have to collect weather data?
★ To help visitors. Weather data is very useful to visitors. They can know about the weather in the places they want to visit before they get there, so they can get fully prepared.
★To help people in daily life. With the help of weather data, people can know what to wear on that day. For example, if the weather report says “tomorrow the temperature will drop below zero,
to $-10° C$”, you’ll put on your down jackets (羽绒服) before going out for work or school.
★ Many animals live in the mountains or on the farms. Bad weather can sometimes bring them danger. So weather data is useful for helping animals.
So weather data is really important to us. We should say thanks to the workers.
