Passage 1
As a child, I was a picky (挑剔的) eater. This drove my parents up the wall. They decided to do something about it.
Just 1 I started grade 1, they created a family rule: I had to make dinner one night a week, usually on Fridays. They would eat 2 I made, just like I had to eat whatever they made on the other six evenings.
When I first started cooking, my meals weren’t very 3 . Our family dinners often included hot dogs, baked beans and boxed mac and cheese (奶酪通心粉). My 4 parents always ate what I made, 5 though the menu hardly ever changed.
This went on for a long time 6 one Friday. I tried cooking a new dish 7 “tarragon chicken” (龙蒿鸡). By the time I was in grade 2, I could 8 make it!
Then my parents 9 another rule: I had to take at least one bite of everything before saying I didn’t like it. This new rule of trying new foods turned out to be a great 10 . I still don’t like some foods, but I’m now willing to try anything at least once.

【导语】本文主要讲述了作者小时候挑食,父母通过制定两项家庭规则,帮助其逐渐改变挑食习惯的故事。
1.句意:就在我开始上一年级的时候,他们制定了一条家规:每周五我必须做一顿晚餐。
when当……时;after在……之后;before在……之前;until直到。根据后文“规则要求我在一年级开始后执行做饭任务”,可知规则的制定应发生在入学时。故选A。
2.句意:他们会吃无论我做的什么东西,就像我必须吃他们在其他六个晚上做的任何东西一样。
whoever无论谁;however无论如何;whenever无论何时;whatever无论什么。空格处需引导宾语从句,指代“我做的食物”。根据平行结构“whatever they made”,可知此处应用whatever,表示“无论什么”。故选D。
3.句意:当我刚开始做饭时,我的饭菜不是很美味。
special特别的;delicious美味的;healthy健康的;expensive昂贵的。后文列举“热狗、烤豆和盒装奶酪通心粉”,这些食物表示强调饭菜“不美味”。故选B。
4.句意:我善良的父母总是吃我做的东西,尽管菜单几乎从未改变。
strict严格的;kind善良的;busy忙碌的;angry生气的。父母坚持吃“我”做的重复菜单,体现了他们的包容与鼓励,这一行为与“善良”的品质相符。故选B。
5.句意:我善良的父母总是吃我做的东西,尽管菜单几乎从未改变。
even甚至;ever曾经;still仍然;never从不。“even though”为固定短语,表示“即使”,用于引出让步状语从句。此处强调“尽管菜单单一,父母仍坚持吃”,符合语境。故选A。
6.句意:这种情况持续了很长时间直到一个星期五。
after在……之后;before在……之前;until直到;since自从。“持续到某个时间点发生变化”应用until。故选C。
7.句意:我尝试做一道被称为“龙蒿鸡”的新菜。
called被称为;said被说;known已知的;made被制作的。过去分词短语“called...”作后置定语,修饰“dish”,表示“被称为龙蒿鸡的菜”。故选A。
8.句意:到二年级时,我已经能成功地做出这道菜了!
hardly几乎不;quickly快速地;successfully成功地;carefully仔细地。前文提到“尝试做新菜”,隐含最初可能失败的过程。此处“by the time I was in grade 2”强调经过练习后的结果,“successfully”最能体现从尝试到掌握的转变。故选C。
9.句意:然后我的父母引入了另一条规则:我必须至少尝一口所有食物,才能说不喜欢。
wrote写;took拿;introduced引入;followed跟随。“introduce a rule”为固定短语,表示“引入/制定规则”。故选C。
10.句意:这条尝试新食物的新规则被证明是一个伟大的提议。
choice选择;plan计划;game游戏;idea主意。规则作为一种解决问题的“想法”或“提议”,用idea最为恰当。故选D。

In this way you 10 have a better understanding of each other.

Passage 1
As a child, I was a picky (挑剔的) eater. This drove my parents up the wall. They decided to do something about it.
Just 1 I started grade 1, they created a family rule: I had to make dinner one night a week, usually on Fridays. They would eat 2 I made, just like I had to eat whatever they made on the other six evenings.
When I first started cooking, my meals weren’t very 3 . Our family dinners often included hot dogs, baked beans and boxed mac and cheese (奶酪通心粉). My 4 parents always ate what I made, 5 though the menu hardly ever changed.
This went on for a long time 6 one Friday. I tried cooking a new dish 7 “tarragon chicken” (龙蒿鸡). By the time I was in grade 2, I could 8 make it!
Then my parents 9 another rule: I had to take at least one bite of everything before saying I didn’t like it. This new rule of trying new foods turned out to be a great 10 . I still don’t like some foods, but I’m now willing to try anything at least once.

Passage 3
Although my daughter is only two years old, I let her do a few “chores”. The “chores” aren’t cleaning the house, folding the clothes or 1 the floor.
When she could just walk and started to play with toys, she sometimes 2 them away because of being bored. I started to teach her to 3 these toys. Now she understands it is one of her chores. Another thing I asked her to do was to take her dishes to the 4 . Now every time she finishes her meal, she 5 and runs to the kitchen with her bowl or plate! It’s 6 !
Actually, I don’t make a “chore list” for her. However, little by little I add chores to her everyday life. Doing chores 7 a child to be responsible for what he or she does. It also helps to develop a child’s 8 . In my opinion, the earlier a kid learns to be independent, the 9 it is for his or her future.

Passage 2
Some students cheat (作弊) because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without 1 the time studying. Other students might feel that they can’t 2 the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, it isn’t a good idea. A student who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test 3 to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so that may can find some better ways together. Talking about these problems and 4 them out will help feel better than cheating.
If a student gets caught cheating, the teacher may give a “zero” on the test, send him or her to the head teacher’s 5 , and call his or her parents. Worse than the 6 grade may be the feeling of having disappointed those people, like parents and teachers. A parent may worry that you are not an 7 person and a teacher might watch you more closely the next time you’re taking a test.
There are plenty of reasons why a kid shouldn’t cheat, but some students have already cheated. If that’s you, it’s 8 too late to stop cheating. Cheating can become a 9 , but a student is always able to act better and make better 10 . It might help to talk the problem over with a parent, teacher, or friend.

Passage 3
Dear Dr. Know,
A generation gap (代沟) has become a serious problem in my family! My name is Tim and I’m 13 years old. My 1 are great and I love them and I know they love me. However, they never understand my feelings and needs. My parents grew up in the 2 family with several sisters and brothers, their parents don’t allow them to do anything without permission (许可). So they’re trying to raise (抚养) me in that way. They won’t allow me to go to a friend’s home or hang out with a friend 3 they don’t know the person’s parents. It’s really embarrassing (令人难堪的) when I tell my friends that I can’t 4 them. My parents want to know me better, so they read my 5 . They say I shouldn’t have any secrets (秘密) in this family.
I try to 6 them, but they usually don’t want to listen. When I feel that my parents don’t 7 me, I just keep my mouth shut (闭上的). I really don’t know what I could do. Could you help me?
Yours,
Jenny
Dear Jenny,
It’s not easy being your age, and it’s normal to have these feelings. I think this is because you don’t often have a talk with each other. Maybe you can write a letter to tell your parents your feelings and reasons. Although your parents’ opinions are different from 8 , you should be more patient with them, get to know them and show your 9 to your parents. They are the people who love you best. In this way you 10 have a better understanding of each other.
