They each carry a large bag with some clothes, a pair of shoes, lots of food and water. But there isn’t any book in it. Then instead of walking them to school as I do on the other school days, I drive them to a nearby park. This is where they are going to spend the day and have lessons. Right, my boys go to a forest school once a week. It is from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm. A group of kids explore the forests, lakes and animals in nature together. I loved the idea of the forest school, but I worried about a few things at first. Would the teachers let the kids play freely? Would my kids be safe outside for that long? Would they enjoy themselves? To my surprise, my boys get used to the school life quickly. Most of the time, they plan their own play, climb tall trees, build fires and do many other interesting things. The teachers never tell them that their play is too high, too fast, or too dangerous. They only follow the kids and help when something goes wrong. When I pick the boys up at the end of the afternoon, they often look lively, happy and never want to leave. The forest school teaches them to look after themselves and get along well with nature. I think that is important. 1．How do the writer’s sons go to the forest school? A．On foot. B．By car. C．By bike.

The “豕” in it means “pig”. In old times, Chinese families kept some animals for meat, sale, or helping with farm work. Pigs are one of them. The word “家” with a pig in a family may show those animals mean a lot to a family. Do you think this idea is special? Let’s learn more about the Chinese family. There is a strong relationship (关系)between parents, children and other family members in a Chinese family. Parents should set a good example for their children. Children should study hard and be good to each other. Every family member should do some things to make family life better. Ancestors (祖先)also have a deep relationship with Chinese family. They bring families and family members together. Many people from different families live in different cities and even countries, but they still remember they have the same ancestors. This makes them supportive to each other. They are always ready to help each other. When they think of them, they feel stronger inside. The idea of “making all the members of the family happy” is always a part of the “China dream”. There are a lot of families in China. When every family is happy, China becomes better and better. 1．Why did Chinese families keep some animals: a. To eat their meat.            b. To sell them for money.    c. To keep them as pets.        d. To help do farm work. A．a, b, c B．a, b, d C．a, c, d D．b, c, d 2．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．Parents’ work in a family.

A．The Farm Animals B．The Special Ideas C．The China Dream D．The Chinese Families 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国家庭的文化内涵，包括汉字“家”的构成意义、家庭成员之间的关系、祖先对家庭的纽带作用，以及家庭幸福与中国梦的联系。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第1段“In old times, Chinese families kept some animals for meat, sale, or helping with farm work.”可知，选项a（吃肉）、b（售卖）和d（协助农活）均符合原文，而c（当宠物养）未提及。故选B。 2．主旨大意题。根据文章第2段“There is a strong relationship between parents, children and other family members…”可知，本段重点讨论家庭成员间的关系。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据文章第3段“They are always ready to help each other.”（他们总是乐于互相帮助。）可知，“supportive”意为“乐于助人的”。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“When every family is happy, China becomes better and better.”（当每个家庭都幸福时，中国会变得越来越好。）可推知，家庭幸福能促进国家发展。故选C。 5．最佳标题题。全文围绕中国家庭的文化内涵展开，包括汉字“家”的象征、家庭成员关系、祖先纽带及家庭与国家的关系。选项D（中国家庭）最能概括主题。故选D。 话题4 传统节假日 Passage 1 Qiuyue Wang10 June 2024In China, we celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival recently.

Ancestors (祖先)also have a deep relationship with Chinese family. They bring families and family members together. Many people from different families live in different cities and even countries, but they still remember they have the same ancestors. This makes them supportive to each other. They are always ready to help each other. When they think of them, they feel stronger inside. The idea of “making all the members of the family happy” is always a part of the “China dream”. There are a lot of families in China. When every family is happy, China becomes better and better. 1．Why did Chinese families keep some animals: a. To eat their meat.            b.
