B 2 When I was in primary school, there was a special boy in my class. His name was Ted. He sat next to me in class. Ted had serious problems in communicating with people. One always had to guess what he was saying. And most of my classmates did not like to be with him because his hands and shirts were always dirty. I tried to make him know the importance of being clean by telling him several times a day to wash his hands. But he just could not understand. One day, our teacher Miss Miller walked up to Ted. Without saying anything, she took Ted to the washroom. Slowly, Miss Miller washed his hands and told him that he should keep himself clean. She did that every day for one month. Finally, Ted understood. Miss Miller's love has given me a good example to follow when I am doing my job. I always remember to teach my students by showing them the right ways to do things.

Let Jim and me choose the cards. I can’t wait. It’s fun!” When Robert shouted out, his mother had already put all the cards on their big table. On the cards, there are some words like these, “sweep the floor, clean your bedroom, help mom cook, wash vegetables, make beds, feed the fish, cut the wood, clean the bathroom” and many others, Jim and Robert chose two cards for each day from Monday to Friday. Then they would hang them on the weekday task board. Jim likes to clean the bathroom, so he picked up the card “clean the bathroom”. Robert loves to make the bed so he picked up his favorite card. Jim again picked up “wash vegetables” and Robert chose “feed the fish”. Soon the two boys were happy to take away all the cards.

According to recent research, loneliness can be bad for health. 31 Here are some tips for you to avoid (避免) being lonely.

The neighbor will surely like to make friends with you. Build your community online Without doubt, it’s difficult for you to move to meet like-minded people. However, the Internet can easily bring people with the same interests together. 33 Try some safe meet up websites, which list local groups and events, bringing people with common interests together. Know more about your friends In order to find possible friends, try to know more about them. What do they like doing? Join one of their activities. What subject (话题) are they interested in? 34 In this way, you can know each other much better. Work as volunteers Volunteering is good for both body and mind.

They have to do much homework and take many exams, so most of them are under stress. In this situation, some parents hardly ask their children 37 (do) any chores. They think their children just need to study hard. However, I don’t agree with this idea. Here are some of my ideas. First, doing housework can help children understand the idea of 38 (fair). In a family, it’s 39 (everyone) job to share the housework. And if children do housework at home, they 40 (understand) their parents better. Second, parents should know the 41 (important) of teaching their kids to do some housework. Kids will leave their parents and live their own life, so they can’t depend 42 their parents all the time. While children are doing housework, they can learn many things. At the same time, they can become 43 (independence) day by day. Third, doing housework can help children become 44 (health) than those who don’t. After hours’ study, children can relax by doing some housework, such as washing clothes and 45 (sweep) the yard. 五、阅读表达(每题 2 分,共 10 分) As we all know, Chinese has a history of thousands of years. But few people know that Pinyin doesn’t. It is very necessary and important for everyone who learns Chinese because it tells people how to pronounce Chinese characters(汉字). This year, Pinyin becomes 64 years old. In 1958, Chinese 52-year-old linguist(语言学家) Zhou Youguang and his team made Pinyin. There are 63 Pinyin in total. Before that, Chinese people used many other ways to show how to pronounce Chinese characters. But these ways are not as easy to use as Pinyin. Because of Pinyin, more people learn how to pronounce. Pinyin is a big part of our daily life. We learn to speak Putonghua with the help of Pinyin. We write Chinese characters on computers by using Pinyin. Pinyin is young. But it is now very popular outside China. It is becoming a bridge between China and the world. Many people around the world start to learn Chinese by learning Pinyin. You might say “nihao” to mean “hello” to a foreign friend. 4 People are using Pinyin more often than before. For example, fewer foreigners use “dumplings”. They like to use “jiaozi”. And “mantou” is for “steamed bun”. The Oxford English Dictionary(《牛津 英语字典》) has more than 100 Chinese words in Pinyin such as “zhongguomeng” for “Chinese dream”, and “wanggou” for online shopping. 46. Why is Pinyin important for Chinese learners? _ 47. Who made Pinyin? _ 48. Why was it necessary to make Pinyin? _ 49. What uses(用途)of Pinyin are mentioned(提及) in the passage? _ 50.
