On November 19th every year, Kyle invites his friends to his birthday celebration. He asks each friend to bring a new toy to donate(捐赠) to Toys for Tots. Toys for Tots is a project which gives out toys to children whose parents cannot usually buy them toys. Kyle has donated more than 2,000 toys to the project. And he plans to continue collecting toys for other kids for years to come. When Kyle was five, he asked his parents how he could help others. Kyle’s parents were excited to hear that and they helped him get in touch with Toys for Tots. From then on, he has looked forward to his birthday, but only to get toys. John Minadakis, who hosted a Toys for Tots celebration, said he had never seen someone give so much at such a young age. He believed the ability to put others before himself could take the boy far in life. Kyle feels good when he helps others. He hopes that through his example, other kids will be inspired to give away. “Many people around my age don’t have toys to play with.

But asking children to help with chores is more than just getting the house cleaned. It can also help children to be independent and responsible (有责任心的).  Luckily,there is an app to help. The app You Rule Chores lets kids get up from the sofa and do chores. Through smart phone games,the app turns children into housework helpers. “It is difficult to get kids to do work around the house. We made the app to teach kids self⁃control,which is very important to their future,” one of the app's engineers said. 　　The games are fun, and the app is super easy to use. You Rule Chores is my favorite chore app so far. —Sam, a middle school student 　　You Rule Chores is an app the whole family will benefit from (从中受益).Now my kids often compete to see who can do more housework. —Brooke, a mother of three kids 　　Young kids like to help out around the house, but fewer parents hear the words “What can I do to help?” from their older kids. A study shows that only 65% of kids aged 16 to 18 take part in chores. 　　How to use You Rule Chores? First, each child needs to choose one of the app's characters. Then the child can start to do chores. Once he finishes it,he can get some coins (硬币) from the app. He can use them to buy things from the online store.

Why or why not? 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  [语篇解读]　文章介绍了一款应用程序,这款应用程序可以让孩子们多多参与做家务。通过智能手机游戏,该应用程序将孩子们变成了家务助手。 34.但是,要求孩子们帮助做家务并不仅仅是打扫干净房子。　考查英译汉。ask sb. to do sth.让某人做某事;help with sth.帮助做某事;more than不仅仅。 35.The app turns children into housework helpers by smart phone games.　细节理解题。根据原文第二段中的句子“Through smart phone games,the app turns children into housework helpers.”可知,该应用程序通过智能手机游戏让孩子们成为家务助手。 36.The app is super easy to use.　细节理解题。根据Sam的表述“The games are fun,and the app is super easy to use.”可知,他认为该应用程序非常容易使用。 37.Only 65% of kids aged 16 to 18 do chores.　细节理解题。根据“A study shows that only 65% of kids aged 16 to 18 take part in chores.”可知,16到18岁的孩子中只有65%参与家务劳动。 38.I do chores at home. Because my parents work very hard and I want to help them.　本题为开放性问题,言之有理即可。 四、词语运用（本题共有两个语篇，A篇有五个小题，B篇有十个小题，每小题1分，共15分） （A） 请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容，在空白处填入适当的单词，使其通顺、连贯，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。每空一词。 阅读短文,根据语篇要求填空,使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一词。 Volunteering means that someone works to help people without being paid.

When he put his foot into one of his shoes,he felt something hard. He bent down to see what it was and found the coin. He was 　50　. He looked at it again and again.
