However, there was no room in my adult life for a dog. Then, last year, I could not stand the fact that I developed cancer (癌症). I wanted to keep a dog, but I knew my illness made it impossible for me to keep one. In early September, to my surprise, my doctor told me that I could keep a pet as my friend, because my immune system (免疫系统) was strong to keep a pet. The same day, I went to an animal market with my friends. When I saw a 9-week-old dog with big brown eyes, nice ears and white fur all over the body, I took it home. I’m happy these days since Oscar came into my life. My new favorite pastime is to watch him sleep, eat and run. And I have been spending more time caring for him, taking long walks with him in the park. Now I still have the physical examination once a week at the hospital. But my illness has taken a turn for the better with the company of a dog. My immune system is getting stronger, my doctor tells me. Thanks to Oscar, my life has changed a lot. 11.

For example, Yan says, some parents would do the school’s general cleaning instead of their children. Since March last year, the governments have launched a lot of policies, requiring that colleges, middle schools and primary schools pay more attention to teaching students practical skills. Following these policies, the primary school launched an “agricultural（农业的）class base” on one of its schoolyards. Students plant fruit and vegetables on an area of land about 4,000㎡ in size. In the days coming up to the May Day holiday, students of various grades at the school worked together in the fields, says school principal Yang Bo. They planted watermelon, carrot and corn. May Day, also known as Labor Day, is celebrated on May 1st in China. The school hopes that students will understand the food is quite precious so that they will better realize the difficulties that their parents went through. 16.

Duan Jiayang, a Hard-working Student C. Schools Follow the Governments’ Policies D. Parents Hope for Children’s Good Results in School 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. D 19. D 20. A 【解析】 【分析】政府已经出台了很多政策，要求大学、中学和小学更加注重教授学生实用技能。本文强调了劳动教育的重要性。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It’s not easy.”可知，段佳阳认为这不容易，即很难，故选C。 【17题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In China, many parents place a heavy focus on their children’s good results”可知，在中国，许多父母非常重视孩子的好成绩，故选B。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They planted watermelon, carrot and corn.”可知，他们种了西瓜、胡萝卜和玉米，没有提到卷心菜。故选D。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据“the governments have launched a lot of policies, requiring that colleges, middle schools and primary schools pay more attention to teaching students practical skills”和“The school hopes that students will understand the food is quite precious so that they will better realize the difficulties that their parents went through.”可知，学生们可以从农业课中学习基本的生活技能、理解劳动的重要性以及意识到他们的父母所经历的困难。故选D。 【20题详解】 最佳标题题。本文强调了劳动教育的重要性，选项A“年轻人通过技能课程获得一节生活课”符合主题，故选A。 第三节：完形填空（共10小题,每小题1.5分,满分 15分） Now more than 40 million (百万) foreigners around the world are learning Chinese, according to a report.

In the days coming up to the May Day holiday, students of various grades at the school worked together in the fields, says school principal Yang Bo. They planted watermelon, carrot and corn.
