Passage 2
Sometimes parents think “Should we give the children chores? Isn’t it the parents’ job 1 (provide) a clean and comfortable environment for children?” Now children have 2 (little) free time than before. Most of them have to go to after-school classes. 3 doing chores can really help children a lot. First, it helps children be 4 (independence) and learn to take care of themselves. Second, children 5 (help) out around the house become better team players. 6 (three), children will become more confident(自信的)when they find they are useful in 7 family. Fourth, most children do like to help their parents—they want to spend time with 8 (them) parents and do the same work 9 their parents. Finally, it is fair for children to do some 10 (chore). They live in one house with their parents, so they should do their part in keeping it clean and tidy.
Passage 3
Hello! I’m Alan. My birthday is on December 30th.Tomorrow is my 1 (twelve) birthday. I will have a birthday party and invite some friends to my home. So my mother and I are busy 2 (get) ready for it now.
I need to buy some new clothes for my birthday. Now my mother and I go into 3 clothes store. 4 (it) name is Mr. Cool’s Clothes Store. There are many clothes on sale. Look! Here are some green 5 (sweater) for only $15 each. They are so nice. And here are some black trousers for us boys for only $12. Oh, here’s a jacket 6 only $30. At last, my mother buys a jacket, a sweater and a pair of trousers for me. She 7 (pay) $57 for them. We buy them at really good prices.
Then, my mother goes to a fruit shop with me. She buys some strawberries, pears, bananas and apples. I’m so happy 8 they are my favorite fruit.
Finally, we buy some flour (面粉), eggs and milk. My mother will make a big cake for my birthday tomorrow morning. I think it’s much 9 (good) than to buy one in the cake shops.
On my birthday we will have some 10 (health) food. Will you come to my party?
Passage 4
Do you like eating pizza? Have you ever thought about why a round pizza comes in 1 square box?
It’s mostly because the pizza company doesn’t want 2 (make) troubles for the cardboard company. Cardboard boxes are usually made in squares and they are made in one piece. In this way, people can put them one by one 3 (easy).
A round pizza box may look much 4 (good), but it’s not going to save space when workers put it away. 5 they don’t put it correctly, it will roll out of place everywhere.
6 , not all pizza boxes are square. So far, some people 7 (try) some other ways to make a change. A pizza shop, Donino, has a six-sided pizza box, and it’s convenient 8 people to put pizza rightly into pizza boxes.
For the most parts, 9 (customer) are still likely to see square boxes. Pizza, after all, is about finding comfort in 10 (we) daily life.
Passage 5
Some children dream of becoming adults (成年人). So they won’t have to do homework or take exams. That is to say, they won’t have stress 1 school any more. But are things really like what they think?
Wang Jun’s mother is a 2 (clean). Her job is to clean the park. Let’s see 3 she does every day. In order to 4 (provide) a clean environment for everyone, she has to get up at 5 a.m. 5 (sweep) the streets and collect rubbish in the park. The minute she 6 (finish) her work, she goes home to make breakfast. Then she does some 7 (chore) at home. After that, she goes to the park to work again, because someone is always throwing rubbish everywhere. She doesn’t come back home 8 3: 00 p. m. It’s not easy 9 Wang Jun’s mother to make money. His mother never wastes money.
Being an adult is not as 10 (easy) as you think. So enjoy your school life.
Passage 6
What will a smart house look 1 in the future? First, the house will be 2 (connect) to the Internet. For example, your kitchen will be linked (连接) to the supermarket, so you can have the kitchen 3 (prepare) food for you. Second, the future house will be 4 (friend) to the environment. New technology will be used in the walls and windows, so the house will be warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Third, computers will help you 5 (control) the lights and music in your house, so you can always stay 6 (relax) and feel comfortable. And finally, your bedroom will have an electronic closet.

Passage 7
Bonnie is from a small village in Wuhan. She 1 (study) in Beijing. Her mother’s birthday is 2 (come). She wants 3 (buy) her mom a nice gift.
It is 4 (sun). Bonnie finishes lunch quickly and then she goes shopping. After 5 hour, she finds a shop. It is selling hats at good 6 (price). She takes a yellow one, and then she goes home.
On the train home, Bonnie goes to the toilet (卫生间). But she leaves the hat in the toilet. When she goes back to her seat (座位), she can’t see the hat!
Bonnie begins to cry (开始哭), “I lost my hat...” The other people on the train feel very sorry for her. Three kind women ask Bonnie, “ 7 is your home? We can send (寄) the 8 to your mother if someone(某人) finds it.
After a week, Bonnie gets a call 9 her mother. She says, “Thank you very much for your gifts. 10 why do you send me three yellow hats?”
Passage 8
As students, we are always busy 1 (study). So we often have supper as soon as we come home 2 school. Not all children like to do housework. They think doing housework is their 3 (parent) job.
In fact, housework isn't a bad thing. Firstly, it's a good way 4 (relax). Many children like to spend much time 5 (watch) TV when they are tired. 6 a result, they usually get more tired. But doing housework is different. It is easy and it can let us relax. 7 , doing some housework can show our care and love to our parents. We know our parents are usually very tired 8 a day's work. They must feel happy if we can help them clean the floor or cook supper. Thirdly, we can find it very 9 (interest) to do housework. I'm sure you must be glad to see the dishes bright and the rooms clean. At the same time, 10 (learn) how to do housework is a great thing. So try your best to do housework from today!
Passage 9
Should parents ask their children to do housework? Some believe children should not do 1 (chore). They think that children have much stress from school and they are too young to cook or clean. But many people believe that children can learn a lot 2 it. Parents should help children learn to do the housework that they will have to do when they live on 3 (they) own. They also give children a sense of responsibility, importance 4 confidence.
Most experts think that the housework should be suitable for children, such as 5 (sweep) the floor and taking out the rubbish. Parents shouldn’t ask a school boy to cook when he is 6 (do) his homework. If the child has activities after school, the time 7 (leave) to do housework may be short.
Perhaps more housework on weekends can be 8 (help). When a child does what his parents ask him to do 9 (happy), he will probably have the feeling of growing up. Housework can be useful. It is 10 teaching tool. Parents use the tool to teach children, so that they can care for themselves some day. And please make sure parents also do housework. If parents don’t provide a clean house, children won’t find any reason to do housework.
Passage 10
I have two children. They are 1 (grow) fast. My daughter is 16 and my boy is already in junior high school. As they get 2 (big), our house seems to get smaller. So we want to sell some of our things in a yard sale and then give the money to a 3 (children) home.
We have already cleared out a lot of things from our bedrooms. We have decided to each sell five things we 4 longer use. My son was quite sad first. Although he has not played with his old toys for a long time, he 5 wanted to keep them. For example, he has owned a train and railway set since his 6 (four) birthday, and he played with it almost every week 7 he was about seven. And he did not want 8 (lose) his toy monkey, either. He slept next to the monkey every night when he was a child. My daughter was more 9 (understand), although she also felt sad to part with certain toys.
As for me, I did not want to give up my football shirts, but, to 10 honest, I have not played for a while now. I am getting older, too.

Passage 11
There is a young boy in our class named Bill. It’s a little difficult for him to speak 1 (clear). Sometimes, he stutters (口吃). One day, we heard Bill would try 2 for the school play. We wondered whether he could give a perfect performance.
Finally, the big night arrived. Bill spoke 3 (he) first lines and stuttered under pressure. Then, the most amazing thing happened. When the music started, he tapped (轻叩) his foot and began to sing. He had a beautiful voice, not a single stutter. Bill was a different person 4 (compare) with the way he talked.
The next day at school, instead of 5 (joke), everyone congratulated Bill. He 6 (explain) to us that it’s common for people who stutter to be able to sing well. Science doesn’t know how many 7 (reason) for this, but it’s a fact.
We learned that everyone has things they can’t do 8 they can do. As for Bill, he still stutters when he has a 9 (communicate) with others. But sometimes if he has a hard time giving 10 answer in class, he will just stop and sing the answer. That’s always the highlight of our class.
It makes us happy to see our friend having such a good time in spite of his speech problem.
Passage 12
Do you often leave your keys at home when you go out? Or, do you often keep your TV or computer 1 (work) when you don’t use them? Someone 2 (agree) that problems probably happen because of these kinds of things. However, in the near future, we will live in smart houses (智能住宅) 3 (comfortable). These houses are better than many apartments now. And they will make our life much 4 (easy).
When we leave home each morning, the TV and computer will close by 5 (they). When you get home each evening, everything will be ready. Your favorite music or TV program will be on. The robot will look like a human servant and play 6 part in doing housework.
Your smart house will be able to stop other 7 (danger) things from happening. For example, 8 something is on fire, your smart house will feel it and give off a sound. Then you will be 9 to do something to stop the fire in time. Your smart house will never fall down, so you don’t need to be 10 (worry) when an earthquake (地震) comes.
Passage 13
A young man was on a train. As the train turned a corner, it slowed down and then 1 plain house came into sight. The house looked so different 2 the grey apartment buildings of the city that everybody on the train turned to look at it. Some passengers began to talk about 3 . The young man was also interested in the house. He decided to get off at the next station and make his way to the house.
The owner of the house told him that he 4 (try)to sell the house, but no one would buy it, as the noise of the trains passing nearby made it 5 (suit)to live in. The young man decided to buy the house for ¥30, 000. He used it for advertising 6 the house faced the railway bend(弯道). The train had to slow down at the bend, 7 (give)the passengers plenty of time to look at the house.
The young man went to several big companies and explained the advantages of placing advertisements on the side of the house. 8 (luck), one company agreed to place some ads. The young man 9 (pay)¥180, 000 for three years of advertising.
In this world, turning disadvantages into advantages is the key to 10 (succeed).
Passage 14
I’m Jeff from the UK. I have two 1 (child). My daughter is 17 and my son is 12. Now our house seems to get smaller because of their getting 2 (big) than before. So we want to sell some of things in a yard sale that we don’t use any more. And we will give the money to others 3 need.
Look, we have already cleared out many things. My son was 4 little sad at first. Although he hasn’t played with his toys for a long time, he still wanted to be with them that had sweet memories. For example, he has owned the green train and railway set since his 5 (five) birthday. Also, he played with it almost every weekends 6 he was about eight. At the same time, he didn’t want to lose 7 toy plane, too. He always 8 (say) when he grows up, he wants to be a pilot (飞行员). My daughter was more understanding, though she also felt sad 9 (part) with certain toys. As for my wife, she didn’t want to give up her nice dresses. But they are too small for her. To be honest, I wouldn’t like to lose my football shirts, either. But I am getting old now.
Welcome to Jeff’s yard sale and we take this yard sale 10 (serious). If you have some old things which you can’t use any more, please join us.
Passage 15
Do-it-yourself projects (项目) let you design your house, giving a way to save money, but even with step-by-step instructions, DIY doesn’t always go as planned. Nearly 80% of homeowners make some 1 (mistake) while doing DIY. Here are three of the 2 (big) mistakes that homeowners often make.
Costing Too Much
More than 40% of people find DIY projects 3 (expensive) and difficult than they thought. Starting a task that needs more time or skills than you have, you may end up with a big mess (一团糟). “It’s important to think about why you want to DIY 4 what you’re hoping to get out of it,” said Bailey Carson, a home care expert (专家). “ 5 you’re doing it just to save money, you might need to think twice. Without the time, tools, and talent (天赋) to do it correctly and 6 (safe), mistakes may cost you more at last.”
Using the Wrong Tools
A third of people used wrong tools for DIY projects, which can make the job more difficult and less safe. People design many tools 7 special uses. So if you use them for other tasks, you may get 8 (hurt). Use proper tools for each project, and make sure you know how to use them.
Not Safety (安全) First
DIY mistakes can be costly and 9 (danger) sometimes. 47% of people said that the mistake brought serious problems. Take your time and follow all safety rules when using tools. So, remember to wear dust masks, safety glasses, hearing protection or gloves to protect 10 (you).

1. 句意:她在北京学习。根据上下文可知句子时态是一般现在时,主语She是第三人称单数,因此谓语动词study也要用第三人称单数形式,故填studies。
2.句意:她妈妈的生日快到了。根据“Her mother’s birthday is … (come).”结合语境,可知是她妈妈的生日快到了,由前面的系动词is,可知此处应用现在进行时表示将来,故填coming。

7.句意:你的家在哪里?根据下文“We can send (寄) the … you to your mother if someone(某人) finds it.”如果有人找到这顶帽子,我们可以把它寄给你妈妈,可知这里是问邦尼的家在哪里,因此用where来填空,又因其位于句首,所以首字母要大写,故填Where。
8.句意:如果有人找到这顶帽子,我们可以把它寄给你妈妈。根据上文语境“I lost my hat...”邦尼丢了给妈妈买的帽子,可知此处人们应该是说如果有人发现了这顶帽子,可以把它寄给邦尼的妈妈,故填hat。
