For me, Nancy, it means much more than not going to school. It is also a golden chance to spend time with my family because I have little time with them during the school year. Last summer vacation I travelled with my family to the Hawkesbury River in Western Sydney. It was one of the most unforgettable summer vacations in my life. Staying by the river helps us escape from the hot weather and noise of the city. Every day, my family and I got up early to go swimming in the cool water. In the morning, we all took part in a big game. We enjoyed water-skiing, wakeboarding (尾波滑水) and other activities. These activities made our family feel closer. In the warm afternoon, we peacefully read books on hammocks hung among trees by the river. The days always ended with a campfire. We sat around the fire, talking and laughing. The river is a perfect place for people to forget about all the stresses (压力) of life and simply enjoy the moment. To me, it is the best place to spend time together with my family. I can’t help thinking about those days again and again although so many months has passed. 1．Nancy ________ before the summer vacation starts.

Here is an example. “Mom, have you worked out next week’s chores? 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, clean your bedroom, help mom cook, make beds, feed the fish, 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. To help the children do chores, their mother thought hard and came up with this idea. Of course, the parents did the chores at weekends and left Jim and Robert two days free. 1．From the passage we know that most children like ________.

The old teacher gave a little water to his plants every day and didn’t always care about them, while his neighbors gave much water to his plants and looked after them well. The old teacher’s plants were simple but looked good. The worker’s plants were much taller and greener. One night, there was a heavy rain. The next morning, the worker saw his plants come off（断裂）the root（根）. But the old teacher’s plants stood firmly（稳稳地）. The neighbor was surprised and went to the teacher and asked, “We both grew the same plants together. I looked after my plants better than you did, and I even gave them more water. Still, my plants came off the roots, while yours didn’t. Why?” The old teacher smiled and said, “You gave your plants more water, so they didn’t need to work for it.

The next morning, the worker saw his plants come off the root.”可知，暴雨过后职员的植物从根茎处断裂了。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“I gave them a little water, so their roots grew deeper (更深) to get more water. It made them stronger.”可知，老教师给植物浇一点水，使它们的根长得更深，以便得到更多的水。这使得植物更强壮。由此推断这是一种明智的种植方法。故选A。 4．推理判断题。通读全文可知，老教师给植物浇少量的水，没有过度呵护，结果植物在大雨过后安然无恙。由此推断老教师擅长种植物。故选B。 5．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“You gave your plants more water, so they didn’t need to work for it.”可知，一味地浇水会使植物的根弱化，而适量的浇水可以让植物的根去自主寻找更多的水分。对待人也是一样的道理，过度呵护会使我们变得脆弱。故选D。 Passage 2 （23-24八年级上·河南洛阳·期中）One day I went for a walk on the hill with my parents.

His correction won praises from people around. “I noticed a small mistake on page 95 of the English textbook published by Shanghai Educational Publishing House when I was preparing lessons before class,” said Cui Chenxi, a 7th grader in Shenyang No. 126 Middle School.

Passage 3 （23-24八年级上·湖北黄石·期中）Without classes and exams, the summer vacation is an ideal time for Australian kids. For me, Nancy, it means much more than not going to school. It is also a golden chance to spend time with my family because I have little time with them during the school year. Last summer vacation I travelled with my family to the Hawkesbury River in Western Sydney. It was one of the most unforgettable summer vacations in my life. Staying by the river helps us escape from the hot weather and noise of the city. Every day, my family and I got up early to go swimming in the cool water. In the morning, we all took part in a big game. We enjoyed water-skiing, wakeboarding (尾波滑水) and other activities. These activities made our family feel closer. In the warm afternoon, we peacefully read books on hammocks hung among trees by the river. The days always ended with a campfire. We sat around the fire, talking and laughing. The river is a perfect place for people to forget about all the stresses (压力) of life and simply enjoy the moment. To me, it is the best place to spend time together with my family. I can’t help thinking about those days again and again although so many months has passed. 1．Nancy ________ before the summer vacation starts.

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, clean your bedroom, help mom cook, make beds, feed the fish, 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. To help the children do chores, their mother thought hard and came up with this idea. Of course, the parents did the chores at weekends and left Jim and Robert two days free. 1．From the passage we know that most children like ________.
