Then they ask them to do as they do. If they often practice doing so, they can do better and better. In many Western countries, people also want their kids to do chores. Sometimes, they give their kids some money as the prize. But now in China, most families have only one kid. They don't want their kids to do any chores. So most kids don't know how to do chores and don't want to do chores. They always ask their families to do something for them. I don't think it's good for kids or for Chinese people. Parents should teach kids to do what they can do at home. They should learn to help parents to do something. II．阅读（共三节，满分40分） 第一节 （共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分） 阅读下列材料，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出最佳选项。 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 A Linda, 14 My mother does most of the housework like cooking and folding the clothes. My father can only do the washing, sweep the floor and take out the rubbish. He really needs to learn how to do the housework. Celina, 13 My mother and father do 50% of the housework each. My mother does the washing and cleans the living room. My father makes the bed and drives me to school. Paul, 16 My father doesn't do a lot but he tries to help. He hangs up the clothes after my mother washes them and my mother is happy that he always gives her a hand. Bill, 15 My mother is a doctor. She is busy with her work every day, so she has little time to do the housework. In fact, she isn't good at doing it. So my father has to do most of it. Sometimes my grandmother comes to help. 21. Linda's father doesn't ________ at home. A．fold the clothes B．take out the rubbish C．sweep the floor 22. Whose father does most of the housework? A．Linda's. B．Bill's. C．Paul's. 【答案】21. A 22. B 【分析】四则表格主要介绍了四个孩子的爸爸和妈妈在家里承担做家务活的情况。 21. 细节理解题，根据“My father can only do the washing, sweep the floor and take out the rubbish.”可知我爸爸只会洗衣服、扫地和倒垃圾，不会叠衣服。故选A。 22. 细节理解题，根据Linda的爸爸“ My father can only do the washing, sweep the floor and take out the rubbish.”；Paul的爸爸“My father doesn't do a lot but he tries to help.”；Bill的爸爸 “So my father has to do most of it.”对比可知Bill的爸爸做的家务最多，故选B。 B I have three children and I make them do housework. However, my mother-in-law (婆婆) doesn’t agree with me. She thinks I’m too harsh. In her opinion, parents shouldn’t be too strict with children. It is adults’ job to do housework. I think our family is made up of five family numbers. No one in the family is more important than others, so each member should help with chores. I don’t ask my children to do the same chores, because their ages are different. At the end of the day, after they finish playing with their toys, I ask them to put the toys away. If they don’t, they will have to say goodbye to their toys. I expect my children to set the table at night and help fold their own clothes. I don’t think I’m asking too much. I know they are tired after a long day’s study at school, but that’s life—harsh but real. I don’t want to pay them for doing some chores. They live in the house, so they should help out with some things in the house. No one is going to pay them for cleaning up their rooms later in life and I’m not about to start doing it now. Some parents protect their children too much from anything unpleasant (使人不愉快的) and make their children’s lives too comfortable and safe, but I’m not interested in that way. I hope my children are able to look after themselves and can be independent early. 23. What can we learn about the writer’s mother-in-law? A．She doesn’t get on well with the kids. B．She doesn’t like doing housework. C．She doesn’t want the children to do housework. 24. The underlined word “harsh” here means “________” in Chinese. A．严厉的 B．幼稚的 C．纵容的 25. When the writer asks her children to do chores, ________. A．she often asks them to do the hard ones B．she often asks them to do the easy ones C．she asks them to do different ones 26. From the last paragraph, the writer wants to tell us “________”. A．parents should protect children B．parents should help children be independent C．it’s unfair for parents to do all the chores at home 【答案】23. C 24. A 25. C 26. B 【分析】这是一篇议论文，文章讲述了作者主张在家里让孩子们做不同的家务，尽管这遭到了婆婆的反对，并且这与其他为孩子们准备好一切的家长不一致，但是作者希望通过这些让孩子们能够照顾自己，早点独立。 23. 细节理解题。根据第一段“I make them do housework”我让我的孩子做家务活，及“However, my mother-in-law doesn’t agree with me”我的婆婆不同意我的观点。可知，作者的婆婆不希望孩子们做家务。故选C。 24. 词义猜测题。根据“In her opinion, it is adults’ job to do housework”可知，作者的婆婆认为这些家务都是成年人做的，可推知婆婆认为作者让孩子们做家务太过于严厉。“harsh”表示“严厉的”。故选A。 25. 细节理解题。根据第二段“I don’t ask my children to do the same chores, because their ages are different”我叫我的孩子不做相同的家务活，因为他们的年龄不同。可知，作者会让孩子们做不同的家务。故选C。 26. 主旨大意题。根据“I hope my children are able to look after themselves and can be independent early”我希望我的孩子能照顾好自己能早些独立。可知作者想要告诉读者孩子们应该做家务，应该独立自主照顾好自己。故选B。 C When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier. These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.” Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems. The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out. Working—at any age—is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.” 27．What do we know about John? A．He enjoyed his career and marriage. B．He had few childhood playmates. C．He received little love from his family. 28．How did Vaillant’s team obtain (获得) their findings? A．By recording the boys’ effort in school. B．By evaluating the men’s mental health. C．By comparing different sets of scores. 29．What does the underlined word “sharp” probably mean in Paragraph 4? A．Quick to react. B．Having a thin edge. C．Clear and definite. 30．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．Competent adults know more about love than work. B．Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life. C．Love brings more joy to people than work does. 【答案】27．A 28．C 29．C 30．B 【导语】本文通过John的例子以及研究发现说明童年时期做一些家务的孩子长大后更幸福、更成功。 27．细节理解题。根据“He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier.”可知，John享受他的事业和婚姻带来的快乐。故选A。 28．细节理解题。根据“Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.”可知，Vaillant的团队通过比较不同组的分数获得发现。故选C。 29．词句猜测题。根据下文“Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed.”可知，小时候的所作所为和他们成年后的表现之间的联系出人意料的明显。因此，“sharp”的含义是“明显的”，与C项同义。故选C。 30．推理判断题。根据“As Tolstoy once said, ‘One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.’ ”可知，一个人知道如何工作，如何去爱，为自己所爱的人工作，并热爱自己的工作，那么他就能在这个世界上活得精彩。由此推知，情感健康对美好的成年生活至关重要。故选B。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) The children grow vegetables and take care of animals, but they are not playing games online. 31 The students in the school are from different countries, such as Malaysia and the Philippines. “To make the children self-reliant (自力更生的) and build friendship between children from different countries, we asked them to grow vegetables. They were excited about the idea,” said Grace Alwyn, the head teacher of the school. “ 32 We are planning to ask the parents to buy the vegetables that the children plant. This will also teach them the importance of money.” 33 They feed the animals in the morning and check on them through the day. It’s a good way for them to learn to be responsible (负责任的). Pritesh, a student in Grade 8, said, “I understand how farmers work. 34 It is a very interesting hobby.” A parent said happily, “ 35 They will learn a lot from these activities.” A．The students also keep pets. B．They give part of the harvest to us and we cook it for them. C．Through farming, they are learning to love the environment. D．As we grow the vegetables ourselves, we don’t feel like wasting them. E．Students at Gateway International School start farming a small piece of land in the school. 【答案】31．E 32．B 33．A 34．D 35．C 【导语】本文介绍了一所国际学校的孩子们种蔬菜，照顾动物的活动。 31．根据上文“The children grow vegetables and take care of animals…”及下文“The students in the school are from different countries, such as Malaysia and the Philippines.”可知，此处是在介绍这所学校学生劳动实践的情况。选项E“Gateway国际学校的学生开始在学校耕种一小块土地”与之匹配。故选E。 32．根据上文“we asked them to grow vegetables”及下文“We are planning to ask the parents to buy the vegetables that the children plant.

It’s important 46 kids to do housework in western (西方的) countries. However, many parents don’t let their children do any housework in China. They just want them to spend more time 47 (study). In fact, kids can help do many things like sweeping the floor, making the bed, doing the 48 (dish) and so on. 49 (do) housework is good for their future life. They can look after 50 (them) well in the future. But many kids hate to do housework. How can you make them 51 (fall) in love with it? Here is some advice. First, let the kids decide what kind of housework they would like 52 (do). Secondly, you should help them to start with 53 small thing like taking out the rubbish. Thirdly, when they do something, you should praise them 54 it is a very small thing. They will be much 55 (happy) and like to do more. 【答案】 46. for 47.studying 48.dishes 49.Doing 50.themselves 51.fall 52.to do 53.a 54.although/though 55. happier 【导语】本文主要论述了关于做家务的看法，以及提出让孩子们爱上做家务的建议。 46. 句意：在西方对孩子们来说，做家务是很重要的。“It’s+形容词+for sb. to do sth.”意为“做某事对某人来说是怎么样的”，所以设空处填写介词for。故填for。 47.句意：他们只想让他们花更多的时间学习。spend time doing sth.“花费时间做某事”，所以此处填写study的动名词形式。故填studying。 48.句意：事实上，孩子们可以帮助做很多事情，像扫地、整理床铺或洗碗等。固定短语do the dishes“洗碗”。故填dishes。 49.句意：做家务对他们今后的生活是有益的。设空处在句中作主语，应填写do的动名词形式，句首首字母大写。故填Doing。 50.句意：他们可以在未来很好地照顾自己。设空处与主语they指代一致，look after oneself“照顾某人自己”，所以此处填写they的反身代词。故填themselves。 51.句意：你怎么样才能让他们爱上它？make sb. do sth.“让某人做某事”，所以此处填写省略to的不定式。故填fall。 52.句意：第一，让孩子们决定他们想做什么样的家务。would like to do sth.“愿意做某事”。故填to do。 53.句意：第二，你应该帮助他们从小事做起，像扔垃圾。设空处位于单数可数名词前表泛指，且small为辅音音素开头的单词，所以填写不定冠词a。故填a。 54.句意：第三，当他们做了一些事情，尽管是一件很小的事情，你也应该表扬他们。“it is a very small thing”和“you should praise them”构成让步关系，although/though“尽管；虽然”引导让步状语从句。故填although/though。 55. 句意：他们会更快乐，喜欢做更多的事情。设空处在句中作表语，且其前有much修饰，所以此处填写形容词happy的比较级。故填happier。 第三节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面的短文，并回答问题 Parents are usually seen running after their children to wake them up early in the morning and help them get ready for school.Most parents also have a hard time getting their kids to do chores at home.But it is different for a six-year-old boy.The video of his daily morning routine will surprise you.It was posted by his mother and she is proud of her son for his independence. The video follows the boy from the moment he wakes up at 6 o’clock.He picks out his clothes and then steam cleans(用蒸汽清洁) them. In the bathroom,the boy begins brushing his teeth and washing his face.The next step is for him to fill the bathroom’s tissue dispenser(纸架).Heading to the kit-chen,the boy begins preparing two eggs,dumplings and a cup of tea.Once he’s done eating,he cleans all of the plates and cups.

II．阅读（共三节，满分40分） 第一节 （共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分） 阅读下列材料，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出最佳选项。 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 A Linda, 14 My mother does most of the housework like cooking and folding the clothes. My father can only do the washing, sweep the floor and take out the rubbish. He really needs to learn how to do the housework. Celina, 13 My mother and father do 50% of the housework each. My mother does the washing and cleans the living room. My father makes the bed and drives me to school. Paul, 16 My father doesn't do a lot but he tries to help. He hangs up the clothes after my mother washes them and my mother is happy that he always gives her a hand. Bill, 15 My mother is a doctor. She is busy with her work every day, so she has little time to do the housework. In fact, she isn't good at doing it. So my father has to do most of it. Sometimes my grandmother comes to help. 21. Linda's father doesn't ________ at home. A．fold the clothes B．take out the rubbish C．sweep the floor 22. Whose father does most of the housework? A．Linda's. B．Bill's. C．Paul's. B I have three children and I make them do housework. However, my mother-in-law (婆婆) doesn’t agree with me. She thinks I’m too harsh. In her opinion, parents shouldn’t be too strict with children. It is adults’ job to do housework. I think our family is made up of five family numbers. No one in the family is more important than others, so each member should help with chores. I don’t ask my children to do the same chores, because their ages are different. At the end of the day, after they finish playing with their toys, I ask them to put the toys away. If they don’t, they will have to say goodbye to their toys. I expect my children to set the table at night and help fold their own clothes. I don’t think I’m asking too much. I know they are tired after a long day’s study at school, but that’s life—harsh but real. I don’t want to pay them for doing some chores. They live in the house, so they should help out with some things in the house. No one is going to pay them for cleaning up their rooms later in life and I’m not about to start doing it now. Some parents protect their children too much from anything unpleasant (使人不愉快的) and make their children’s lives too comfortable and safe, but I’m not interested in that way. I hope my children are able to look after themselves and can be independent early. 23. What can we learn about the writer’s mother-in-law? A．She doesn’t get on well with the kids. B．She doesn’t like doing housework. C．She doesn’t want the children to do housework. 24. The underlined word “harsh” here means “________” in Chinese. A．严厉的 B．幼稚的 C．纵容的 25. When the writer asks her children to do chores, ________. A．she often asks them to do the hard ones B．she often asks them to do the easy ones C．she asks them to do different ones 26. From the last paragraph, the writer wants to tell us “________”. A．parents should protect children B．parents should help children be independent C．it’s unfair for parents to do all the chores at home C When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier. These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.” Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems. The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out. Working—at any age—is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.” 27．What do we know about John? A．He enjoyed his career and marriage. B．He had few childhood playmates. C．He received little love from his family. 28．How did Vaillant’s team obtain (获得) their findings? A．By recording the boys’ effort in school. B．By evaluating the men’s mental health. C．By comparing different sets of scores. 29．What does the underlined word “sharp” probably mean in Paragraph 4? A．Quick to react. B．Having a thin edge. C．Clear and definite. 30．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．Competent adults know more about love than work. B．Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life. C．Love brings more joy to people than work does. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) The children grow vegetables and take care of animals, but they are not playing games online. 31 The students in the school are from different countries, such as Malaysia and the Philippines. “To make the children self-reliant (自力更生的) and build friendship between children from different countries, we asked them to grow vegetables. They were excited about the idea,” said Grace Alwyn, the head teacher of the school. “ 32 We are planning to ask the parents to buy the vegetables that the children plant. This will also teach them the importance of money.” 33 They feed the animals in the morning and check on them through the day. It’s a good way for them to learn to be responsible (负责任的). Pritesh, a student in Grade 8, said, “I understand how farmers work. 34 It is a very interesting hobby.” A parent said happily, “ 35 They will learn a lot from these activities.” A．The students also keep pets. B．They give part of the harvest to us and we cook it for them. C．Through farming, they are learning to love the environment. D．As we grow the vegetables ourselves, we don’t feel like wasting them.
