In many primary schools, for example, some think that it is a useful skill for students, while others think it’s a waste of time. Good cooking is an art form. The truth is that it’s much more than that. When talking about different foods or cultures and histories of dishes, students are connected to the world and learning history and culture in a new field. When learning cooking, students measure, or find oil and water don’t usually mix, learning maths and science in practice. The importance of failure in making food is as much as success. Li Mei, 11, wanted to make a cake on her own. But when taking her cake out to find that the cake was hard and black. Her father told her when he was 13, he tried to make cakes, but wasted boxes of eggs. Then together with her father, Li Mei found out what had gone wrong and succeeded in making one. Li Mei learned in the failure of cooking, and could be braver to face failure. Apart from the practical skills, cooking builds characters. By cooking, students put down their phones and work together with family members in the kitchen. By cooking, cooking is a way to teach kids some vital skills for the 21st century, such as creativity and teamwork. 1．What can you learn from the example of Li Mei? A．Cooking can help people avoid failure. B．There is no failure without success. C．Failure is as important as success. D．Cooking can make people braver. 2．What does the underlined word “vital” in the last paragraph mean? A．Necessary. B．Difficult. C．Interesting. D．Simple. 3．What’s the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 4．Which of the following is the best title? A．Cooking—A Waste of Time B．Cooking—An Art Show C．Cooking—More Than a Skill D．Cooking—A Way to Make a Living 【单词积累】 单词 音标 词性 中文释义 useful /ˈjuːsfl/ adj. 有用的；实用的 waste /weɪst/ n. / v. 浪费；挥霍（本文为名词） connect /kəˈnekt/ v. 联系；连接 measure /ˈmeʒə(r)/ v. 测量；估量 failure /ˈfeɪljə(r)/ n. 失败；未成功 succeed /səkˈsiːd/ v. 成功；达成 【短语积累】 短语 中文 例句 a waste of time 浪费时间 Playing computer games all day is a waste of time. apart from 除…… 之外（还有） Apart from English, he also studies French. work together with 与…… 一起合作 We need to work together with our classmates to f-inish the project. 【长难句分析】 1.When talking about different foods or cultures and histories of dishes, students are connected to the world and learning history and culture in a new field. 【译文】当谈论不同的食物、菜肴的文化和历史时，学生们与世界建立了联系，并在新的领域中学习历史和文化。 【分析】句首 “when + 现在分词短语（talking about...）” 是时间状语从句的省略形式，完整形式为 When students are talking about...；主句中 are connected是被动语态，and learning与are connected构成并列结构，共用主语students。 【中考考点】时间状语从句的省略用法（当主从句主语一致时，可省略从句的主语和 be 动词）；被动语态的基本结构 “be + 过去分词”。 2.Then together with her father, Li Mei found out what had gone wrong and succeeded in making one. 【译文】之后，李梅和爸爸一起找出了问题所在，并成功做出了一个（蛋糕）。 【分析】together with her father 是介词短语作伴随状语；what had gone wrong 是宾语从句，作 found out 的宾语；succeeded in doing sth. 是固定搭配，意为 “成功做某事”。 【中考考点】宾语从句的语序（陈述语序）；succeed in doing sth.的用法。 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．A 4．C 【知识点】烹饪、说明文 【导语】本文主要介绍了烹饪对学生的好处。 1．推理判断题。根据“Li Mei found out what had gone wrong and succeeded in making one. Li Mei learned in the failure of cooking, and could be braver to face failure.”可知，李梅在失败中学习烹饪，并能更勇敢地面对失败；她的例子告诉我们在制造食物方面失败的重要性和成功的重要性一样大。故选C。 2．词义猜测题。根据“By cooking, cooking is a way to teach kids some vital skills for the 21st century, such as creativity and teamwork.”可知，通过烹饪，可以教会孩子们一些21 世纪的重要技能，比如创造力和团队合作，故可推断出“vital”的意思是“必不可少的，至关重要的”，与necessary 意思相近。故选A。 3．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，文章第一段引出烹饪这个话题，第二、三、四段分别介绍了烹饪的好处，A 选项符合篇章结构。故选A。 4．最佳标题题。根据“Primary schools start to have labor education. In ... a waste of time.”以及对整篇文章的理解可知，本文主要介绍了烹饪不仅仅是一项生活技能，更多的是对学生的好处。故选C。 译文 小学开始开展劳动教育。在许多小学里，例如，一些人认为这对学生来说是一项有用的技能，而另一些人则认为这是在浪费时间。 精湛的厨艺是一种艺术形式。但事实是，它的意义远不止于此。当谈论到不同的食物、菜肴背后的文化和历史时，学生们与世界建立起联系，并在一个全新的领域学习历史和文化。学习烹饪时，学生们会进行测量，或者发现油和水通常不相溶，这都是在实践中学习数学和科学知识。 在烹饪中，失败的意义与成功同等重要。11 岁的李梅想自己做一个蛋糕。但当她把蛋糕拿出来时，却发现蛋糕又硬又黑。她的爸爸告诉她，自己 13 岁时尝试做蛋糕，浪费了好几盒鸡蛋。之后，李梅和爸爸一起找出了问题所在，成功做出了一个蛋糕。李梅从烹饪的失败中学习，也能更勇敢地面对失败。 除了实用技能，烹饪还能塑造品格。通过烹饪，学生们放下手机，和家人一起在厨房忙碌。烹饪也是教授孩子们 21 世纪一些重要技能的方式，比如创造力和团队合作能力。 Passage 2（谈论两种实践劳动） （25-26八年级上·河北·单元测试）Do you want to enjoy your free time and learn something interesting and useful?

His parents tell him to study hard and they do everything for him. They wake him up at 6:00 am, and after breakfast his father takes him to school by car. As soon as Tim comes home from school, the supper is ready. Of course, he never does chores. Once, Tim’s father would go to London on business for a year. Before leaving, he told his wife to look after their son well. The woman had to get up earlier and did all what her husband did before. Two months later, she was so tired that she was ill. Then Tim got into trouble at once. He couldn’t do housework. He didn’t even know where to get on the bus. Yesterday Tim’s mother found his shoes were worn out and told him to buy a new pair. But he didn’t know how to choose right shoes. The woman had a sigh (叹息), gave him a shoe pattern (鞋样) and told him to buy shoes himself. With a policeman’s help, he found a shop. The shopkeeper brought some shoes and asked him to choose. When he was trying on shoes, suddenly he remembered something and took them off. The man was surprised and asked, “What’s the matter?” “I’m sorry. I’ve left my shoe pattern at home.” 1．Why was Tim’s mother ill? A．Because her husband went to London on business.

For example, students study the plants they grow in science classes. Math becomes a tool for planning the garden. Studies have shown that schools gardening programs help students do better in school.

For example, cabbages need more water, and we need to clear away the grass for the corn. But when we ate our homegrown food, we felt very happy! We not only farm outside but also study in the classroom about agriculture (农业). For example, each group needs to choose a topic to research, such as “planting according to the four seasons” or “agricultural production in ancient Chinese poems”.
