四、阅读理解
①Do you love cooking, gardening or cleaning around the house? Doing housework can improve your brainpower (脑力), according to a new study made by an Australian university.
②The study of 207 children showed that 86% of kids put their dirty clothes in the right place and cleaned up after playing. But only 59% made their own beds, just 26% sorted clothes after washing and 10% helped cooking.
③The study also showed that older children are more likely to do housework than younger ones, and girls do more housework than boys. For example, in the study, only 34% of kids aged five to seven did housework, but 64% of those aged 11 to 13 helped. Only 49% of boys but 80% of girls made their own beds. Around 60% of kids, including 50% of boys and 61% of girls, helped do the dishes.
④“Children who often cook a family meal or take care of a garden may be more likely to be good at other ways of life, like schoolwork or problem solving,” the lead researcher of the study Ms. Tepper said, “because these skills are connected to better memory and the ability to think before acting.

When I was twelve, we moved to a new house. I didn’t like it. The rooms felt cold. But we brought one thing from our old home—Grandma’s clock. It was brown, full of scratches (划痕), and made a loud “tick-tock” sound.
Grandma once said, “This clock isn’t just for time. It holds our family’s stories.” Every scratch had a memory. The deepest scratch? My dad made it when he was a boy. He tried to fix the clock with a metal stick (铁棍). The numbers at the bottom (底部)? My mom spilled (溢出) hot soup there on the day I was born.
One cold night, the clock stopped. The “tick-tock” sound I always heard was gone. I saw Dad sitting quietly in front of it. His eyes were wet. “Grandma died ten years ago today,” he said softly. Then I realized the clock wasn’t just wood and glass. It was Dad’s childhood, mom’s happy days, and all our time together.
We tried to fix it as a family. Mom held the tools, Dad opened the clock, and I cleaned the dirty glass. Suddenly, Dad laughed. “Look! Your baby tooth is here!” He pointed at a small white thing inside the clock. We laughed until tears came when we looked at it. That night, the clock started working again. Its “tick-tock” sounded even louder.
Now, when friends visit, they say, “Your home feels so warm!” They don’t see new things. They hear the clock’s sound, like a heartbeat (心跳) that ties our past to now.
Home isn’t about perfect walls or quiet rooms. It’s about keeping what you love—even if it’s an old clock that tells your family’s story.

A.Mom spilled hot soup. B.The baby tooth fell inside.

A.①②⑤③④ B.②①⑤③④ C.⑤①②③④ D.②①④③⑤
3.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.The clock. B.The dirty glass. C.The tool. D.The baby tooth.
4.What would be the best structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
5.What’s the best title of the passage?
A.Fixing an Old Family Clock B.Moving to a Cold New House
C.A Clock Full of Family Stories D.Why We Should Keep Old Things

五、任务型阅读
My brother, August, is like the sun. My mum, dad and I are like planets that move around him. The only one who doesn’t move around August is our dog Daisy, because to her, August’s face looks just like anyone else’s face. To Daisy, all our faces look the same, flat and pale like the moon.
I’m used to how things are in our family. I understand that August is special and needs extra care. If I was making too much noise while playing and he needed to nap, I knew that I had to play quietly because he had treatments (治疗) and needed rest. If I wanted my mum and dad to watch me play football, I knew that they might not be there because they were taking August to his therapy or a doctor.
My parents always say that I am very understanding. I just know that there is no point in complaining. I have seen August after his surgeries with his face bandaged (绑着绷带的) and his body full of tubes (管子). After seeing that, it feels silly to complain about small things like not getting a toy or missing a school play. I knew this even when I was six. No one told me; I just knew.
So, I get used to not bothering my parents with small things. I learn to do things on my own, like how to put toys together and how to stay ahead in school. I never ask for help with homework. If I have trouble with a subject. I study it on my own until I understand. I do every school project by myself. When they ask about school, I always say “good”, even if it isn’t true.
1.Who is the centre of the family?
2.Why doesn’t Daisy treat August differently?
3.How did the writer feel when she saw August with bandages and tubes?
4.Why does the writer always say “good” about school?
5.What do you think of the writer according to the passage? (言之有理即可)

四、阅读理解
①Do you love cooking, gardening or cleaning around the house? Doing housework can improve your brainpower (脑力), according to a new study made by an Australian university.
②The study of 207 children showed that 86% of kids put their dirty clothes in the right place and cleaned up after playing. But only 59% made their own beds, just 26% sorted clothes after washing and 10% helped cooking.
③The study also showed that older children are more likely to do housework than younger ones, and girls do more housework than boys. For example, in the study, only 34% of kids aged five to seven did housework, but 64% of those aged 11 to 13 helped. Only 49% of boys but 80% of girls made their own beds. Around 60% of kids, including 50% of boys and 61% of girls, helped do the dishes.
④“Children who often cook a family meal or take care of a garden may be more likely to be good at other ways of life, like schoolwork or problem solving,” the lead researcher of the study Ms. Tepper said, “because these skills are connected to better memory and the ability to think before acting. And they usually begin to develop in early childhood and continue in late adolescence (青春期) and early adulthood.”
⑤So doing more jobs around the house may help students succeed at school. What are you waiting for? Let’s start now!
1.According to the survey, what kind of housework are the children most likely to do?

When I was twelve, we moved to a new house. I didn’t like it. The rooms felt cold. But we brought one thing from our old home—Grandma’s clock. It was brown, full of scratches (划痕), and made a loud “tick-tock” sound.
Grandma once said, “This clock isn’t just for time. It holds our family’s stories.” Every scratch had a memory. The deepest scratch? My dad made it when he was a boy. He tried to fix the clock with a metal stick (铁棍). The numbers at the bottom (底部)? My mom spilled (溢出) hot soup there on the day I was born.
One cold night, the clock stopped. The “tick-tock” sound I always heard was gone. I saw Dad sitting quietly in front of it. His eyes were wet. “Grandma died ten years ago today,” he said softly. Then I realized the clock wasn’t just wood and glass. It was Dad’s childhood, mom’s happy days, and all our time together.
We tried to fix it as a family. Mom held the tools, Dad opened the clock, and I cleaned the dirty glass. Suddenly, Dad laughed. “Look! Your baby tooth is here!” He pointed at a small white thing inside the clock. We laughed until tears came when we looked at it. That night, the clock started working again. Its “tick-tock” sounded even louder.
Now, when friends visit, they say, “Your home feels so warm!” They don’t see new things. They hear the clock’s sound, like a heartbeat (心跳) that ties our past to now.
Home isn’t about perfect walls or quiet rooms. It’s about keeping what you love—even if it’s an old clock that tells your family’s story.

4.What would be the best structure of the passage?

5.What’s the best title of the passage?
A.Fixing an Old Family Clock B.Moving to a Cold New House
C.A Clock Full of Family Stories D.Why We Should Keep Old Things
【答案】1.D 2.B 3.D 4.B 5.C
【导语】本文通过讲述一个家庭钟表的故事,展现了它承载的家庭记忆与情感纽带。
1.细节理解题。 根据第2段“The deepest scratch? My dad made it when he was a boy. He tried to fix the clock with a metal stick (铁棍).”可知,最深的划痕是父亲小时候用铁棍修理时钟时留下的。故选D。
2.推理判断题。 根据第3-4段内容“One cold night, the clock stopped....I saw Dad sitting quietly in front of it. His eyes were wet... We tried to fix it as a family... Look! Your baby tooth is here!...That night, the clock started working again. Its ‘tick-tock’ sounded even louder.”可知,正确顺序为:钟表坏了(②)→父亲流泪(①)→全家一起修理(⑤)→发现乳牙(③)→钟声更响(④)。故选B。
3.词句猜测题。根据第四段“‘Look! Your baby tooth is here!’ He pointed at a small white thing inside the clock”及后文“We laughed until tears came when we looked at it”可知,是看着上文爸爸说的乳牙,“it”指代前文提到的“baby tooth”。故选D。
4.篇章结构题。通读全文可知,全文分为三部分:首段引出钟表(1段)→中间展开家庭故事(2-5段)→末段总结升华(6段),B项结构图符合。故选B。
5.最佳标题。 文章核心讲述这座旧钟中承载的种种家庭故事,第2段“This clock isn’t just for time. It holds our family’s stories”点明主题,所以最佳标题应是“A Clock Full of Family Stories.”。故选C。

五、任务型阅读
My brother, August, is like the sun. My mum, dad and I are like planets that move around him. The only one who doesn’t move around August is our dog Daisy, because to her, August’s face looks just like anyone else’s face. To Daisy, all our faces look the same, flat and pale like the moon.
I’m used to how things are in our family. I understand that August is special and needs extra care. If I was making too much noise while playing and he needed to nap, I knew that I had to play quietly because he had treatments (治疗) and needed rest. If I wanted my mum and dad to watch me play football, I knew that they might not be there because they were taking August to his therapy or a doctor.
My parents always say that I am very understanding. I just know that there is no point in complaining. I have seen August after his surgeries with his face bandaged (绑着绷带的) and his body full of tubes (管子). After seeing that, it feels silly to complain about small things like not getting a toy or missing a school play. I knew this even when I was six. No one told me; I just knew.
So, I get used to not bothering my parents with small things. I learn to do things on my own, like how to put toys together and how to stay ahead in school. I never ask for help with homework. If I have trouble with a subject. I study it on my own until I understand. I do every school project by myself. When they ask about school, I always say “good”, even if it isn’t true.
1.Who is the centre of the family?
2.Why doesn’t Daisy treat August differently?
3.How did the writer feel when she saw August with bandages and tubes?
4.Why does the writer always say “good” about school?
5.What do you think of the writer according to the passage? (言之有理即可)
【答案】1.August. 2.Because to Daisy, August’s face looks just like anyone else’s face. 3.She felt it was silly to complain about small things. 4.Because she doesn’t want to bother her parents with her problems. 5.The writer is understanding, independent, and selfless.
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者的家庭生活,尤其是弟弟August因健康问题需要特殊照顾,作者因此变得懂事、独立,尽量不增加父母的负担。
1.根据文章第1段“My brother, August, is like the sun. My mum, dad and I are like planets that move around him.”可知,August是家庭的中心,其他成员都围绕着他。故填August.
2.根据文章第1段“The only one who doesn’t move around August is our dog Daisy, because to her, August’s face looks just like anyone else’s face.”可知,Daisy不区别对待August是因为他的脸在它看来和其他人一样。故填Because to Daisy, August’s face looks just like anyone else’s face.
3.根据文章第3段“After seeing that, it feels silly to complain about small things like not getting a toy or missing a school play.”可知,作者看到August手术后缠着绷带、插满管子的样子后,觉得为小事抱怨很愚蠢。故填She felt it was silly to complain about small things.
4.根据文章第4段“So, I get used to not bothering my parents with small things…When they ask about school, I always say ‘good’, even if it isn’t true.”可知,作者总是说学校“很好”是为了不让父母为自己的事情操心。故填Because she doesn’t want to bother her parents with her problems.
5.开放性答案,合理即可。根据第2段“I understand that August is special...”、第4段“I learn to do things on my own...”和“...not bothering my parents”可知,她是一个善解人意、独立且无私的人。故填The writer is understanding, independent, and selfless.
