Unit 1 Home阅读表达 话题：人与社会—家 01 根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过10个单词。 Around the world, people live in homes of many shapes and sizes. In some countryside, people live together with their family in a huge house with gardens or backyards. On the other hand, the buildings in cities are usually very close together. A home can be any kind of building—large or small. Some people even have homes on boats, in tents or in caravans that can be moved around. Caravans are mobile homes. They are towed (拖，拉) by either a car or a huge truck. Some of them are holiday homes. We can see many families staying together in these caravans. In the past, rich and important people built strong castles to keep their families safe. The castles were built on hill tops with high walls and some even had moats. Moats were deep and wide ditches (壕沟) filled with water. They made it difficult for enemies to attack. Today, we have different ways of protecting our homes. Some homes are installed (安装) with video cameras and an alarm system. These will help to alert (向……发出警报) home owners if someone tries to break in. Homes are important to all the people. Everyone needs a home where they feel sheltered and safe. 1．How are the buildings in cities? 2．What is used to tow the caravans? 3．Who built castles to keep their families safe in the past? 4．Why were moats built? 5．What do you think is the most important thing a home can offer? 【答案】 1．They are usually very close together. 2．A car or a huge truck. 3．Rich and important people. 4．Because they made it difficult for enemies to attack. 5．Safety./Love. 【导语】本文主要介绍了世界各地不同形态的住宅，包括乡村大屋、城市建筑、移动房屋等，并提及古今保护住宅的方式及家对人的重要性。 1．根据第一段最后一句“On the other hand, the buildings in cities are usually very close together.”可知，城市里的建筑通常挨得很近。故填They are usually very close together. 2．根据第二段倒数“Caravans are mobile homes.

You can find many of these houses beside a river or in the mountainous areas of Yunnan, Hunan and Sichuan. The traditional building is a kind of wooden house with an unusual structure. The stilts (支柱) under the house are like hanging feet, which means “hanging feet building” in Chinese. The house usually has two to three floors. The ground floor is usually used to store (存放) firewood and farming tools. Besides, animals like pigs often stay on the ground floor while people live above. People like to live in such houses for many reasons. First of all, the houses could and can protect people from dangerous animals, snakes and insects. Besides, in the mountainous areas of southern China, no one can stand the humidity (湿度) on the ground during summer. They can help save money and land as well. Most parts of diaojiaolou houses are in the air, which means they cover less space on the ground. So such houses are relatively cheap. 6．Where can people find many diaojiaolou houses? 7．Why did the house get its name “diaojiaolou”? 8．What is the ground floor usually used to do? 9．How many good points of diaojiaolou houses are mentioned? 10．Why should we protect “diaojiaolou”? 【答案】 6． Beside a river or in the mountainous areas of Yunan, Hunan and Sichuan. 7． Because the stilts are like hanging feet. 8． To store firewood and farming tools. 9． Three. 10．Because it is China’s traditional building.（言之有理即可） 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国传统民居“吊脚楼”的特点、功能及其受欢迎的原因。 6．根据“You can find many of these houses beside a river or in the mountainous areas of Yunnan, Hunan and Sichuan.”可知，你可以在河边或云南、湖南和四川的山区找到许多这样的房子，故填Beside a river or in the mountainous areas of Yunnan, Hunan and Sichuan. 7．根据“The stilts (支柱) under the house are like hanging feet, which means ‘hanging feet building’ in Chinese.”可知，吊脚楼因其支柱像悬挂的脚而得名，故填Because the stilts are like hanging feet. 8．根据“The ground floor is usually used to store (存放) firewood and farming tools.”可知，吊脚楼的一层通常用于存放柴火和农具，故填To store firewood and farming tools. 9．根据“First of all....Besides,...They can help save money and land as well.”可知，第三段列举了三方面优点：防动物/虫蛇、防潮湿、节省土地和成本，故填Three. 10．开放题，合理即可。根据“Diaojiaolou, also called diaolou, is a traditional house of the Miao, Buyi, Dong and Tujia people in China.”及全文可知，吊脚楼是苗族、布依族、侗族和土家族的传统民居，具有文化和传统价值，所以要保护。故填Because it is China’s traditional building. 03 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题，每个题目的答案不超过5个单词。 Do you know the saying “There is no place like home!” This is just another way of saying that home is a very special place.

As people grow older, home usually means responsibility (责任) because it needs care inside and out. Who takes care of all of these things in your home? How do you help out? People say that family and food are two of the best parts of being home. At home, you can tell your parents about your day, play with your pets, and get a snack from the fridge.

Many are people’s main homes. Liam Quinn, a 37 year-old musician, lives happily on a boat for five years in London. “I love waking up to the water and swans. One month, I’m in the heart of the city; the next, I stop next to cows in the countryside,” he says. A small boat costs between 50,000 pounds (about 456,000 yuan) and 100,000 pounds. That’s cheaper than buying a flat in London. In the richest places, the price of a flat is around 600,000 pounds. But boat life isn’t all fun. Quinn has to move his boat every two weeks and clean the toilet every day. Yuck! Still, Quinn loves his watery home. “You learn to fix things and make friends with others.

We only need six comfortable rooms—two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a dining room, and a modern room. The house flies to warm places in winter and cool places in summer. Where can we get energy and water? We get energy from the sun and we collect rainwater to use. So it is a green house. I think it would be a cool home. But my parents say it is a crazy (疯狂的) idea. They ask me what school I can study in if I live in that home. And they also say they must work in Nanjing. They cannot live in a different place every month.

A mobile home is a new kind of house that can move easily, such as a room that trucks can pull. Often, driving along, you can see some mobile homes high on the hill. Some stand under trees along a river or a lake. They’re wonderful homes. Sometimes they’re about 40 feet long, with two to five rooms, and you can find many things you need in them. When you park your mobile home and connect water, electricity power and telephones, you can enjoy yourselves in it. These homes can be moved. However, sometimes their owners stay for years in one place, plant gardens, build walls and so on. Mobile homes are quite expensive. They usually cost 20,000 dollars. Why does a family choose to live in such a home? Well, it’s comfortable, easy to keep warm and there is no need to paint. What’s more, the fast increase (增长) of mobile homes in numbers has something to do with the job uncertainty (不确定性). Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. If a factory closes down, you will be very worried about the house you can’t sell. However, if you have a mobile home, you can move easily. The greatest selling attraction (吸引) of these mobile homes is that they can be improved every year. If you are doing well, you may change a new mobile room just as you do with a car. There is a ready market for used ones, so the price of mobile homes is higher than that of cars. Of course, there are some disadvantages (缺点) of mobile homes. The biggest one is that they will be cheaper and cheaper. If you have used your mobile home for many years, it will be very difficult to sell. Do you want to buy one mobile home? 26．What is a mobile home? 27．When can you enjoy yourselves in a mobile home? 28．How much do mobile homes cost? 29．Do you want to live in a mobile home?

Because I think I can have a lot of fun inside. 【导语】本文主要讲述了移动房屋在美国越来越流行的趋势，并且介绍了其流行的原因，以及优缺点。 26．根据第一段“A mobile home is a new kind of house that can move easily, such as a room that trucks can pull.”可知，移动房屋是一种新型的房屋，可以很容易地移动，比如卡车可以拉的房间，故填A mobile home is a new kind of house that can move easily, such as a room that trucks can pull. 27．根据第二段“When you park your mobile home and connect water, electricity power and telephones, you can enjoy yourselves in it.”可知，当你把你的移动房屋停好，连接水、电和电话时，你可以在里面玩得很开心，故填When you park your mobile home and connect water, electricity power and telephones. 28．根据第三段“They usually cost 20,000 dollars.”可知，它们通常要花2万美元，故填20, 000 dollars. 29．开放性问题，结合实际，言之有理即可。参考答案为Yes, I do.

I go to visit my grandmother every summer. I can get away from the city and relax. The village is just a group of white houses on a hillside with some small shops. But it’s really peaceful. One reason why I like the village is that it’s a beautiful place. My grandmother has a lovely garden and we can sit under the trees, drinking sweet tea and chatting. It’s so pleasant. But the main reason why this place is so important to me is my grandmother herself. She is so kind to me, and wonderful to talk to.

( 1 / 13 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 1 Home阅读表达 话题：人与社会—家 01 根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过10个单词。 Around the world, people live in homes of many shapes and sizes. In some countryside, people live together with their family in a huge house with gardens or backyards. On the other hand, the buildings in cities are usually very close together. A home can be any kind of building—large or small. Some people even have homes on boats, in tents or in caravans that can be moved around. Caravans are mobile homes. They are towed (拖，拉) by either a car or a huge truck. Some of them are holiday homes. We can see many families staying together in these caravans. In the past, rich and important people built strong castles to keep their families safe. The castles were built on hill tops with high walls and some even had moats. Moats were deep and wide ditches (壕沟) filled with water. They made it difficult for enemies to attack. Today, we have different ways of protecting our homes. Some homes are installed (安装) with video cameras and an alarm system. These will help to alert (向……发出警报) home owners if someone tries to break in. Homes are important to all the people. Everyone needs a home where they feel sheltered and safe. 1．How are the buildings in cities? 2．What is used to tow the caravans? 3．Who built castles to keep their families safe in the past? 4．Why were moats built? 5．What do you think is the most important thing a home can offer? 02 阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。（每题答案不超过7个单词，第1题除外） Diaojiaolou, also called diaolou, is a traditional house of the Miao, Buyi, Dong and Tujia people in China. You can find many of these houses beside a river or in the mountainous areas of Yunnan, Hunan and Sichuan. The traditional building is a kind of wooden house with an unusual structure. The stilts (支柱) under the house are like hanging feet, which means “hanging feet building” in Chinese. The house usually has two to three floors. The ground floor is usually used to store (存放) firewood and farming tools. Besides, animals like pigs often stay on the ground floor while people live above. People like to live in such houses for many reasons. First of all, the houses could and can protect people from dangerous animals, snakes and insects. Besides, in the mountainous areas of southern China, no one can stand the humidity (湿度) on the ground during summer. They can help save money and land as well. Most parts of diaojiaolou houses are in the air, which means they cover less space on the ground. So such houses are relatively cheap. 6．Where can people find many diaojiaolou houses? 7．Why did the house get its name “diaojiaolou”? 8．What is the ground floor usually used to do? 9．How many good points of diaojiaolou houses are mentioned? 10．Why should we protect “diaojiaolou”? 03 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题，每个题目的答案不超过5个单词。 Do you know the saying “There is no place like home!” This is just another way of saying that home is a very special place. Our bedroom, our family, our pets, and all of the things we love are at home. Is home a place where you can have fun? Being at home means different things to different people. As people grow older, home usually means responsibility (责任) because it needs care inside and out. Who takes care of all of these things in your home? How do you help out? People say that family and food are two of the best parts of being home. At home, you can tell your parents about your day, play with your pets, and get a snack from the fridge. You can rest in your room and read a book or play a game. You can ask friends over to play. Home is a place to take care of and be thankful for. Though (虽然) you are young, you can help make your home a nice place.

It’s expensive to buy a house in Britain. To save money, many people choose to live in the “floating houses”. There are over 35,000 boats on rivers in England and Wales in 2025. Many are people’s main homes. Liam Quinn, a 37 year-old musician, lives happily on a boat for five years in London. “I love waking up to the water and swans. One month, I’m in the heart of the city; the next, I stop next to cows in the countryside,” he says. A small boat costs between 50,000 pounds (about 456,000 yuan) and 100,000 pounds. That’s cheaper than buying a flat in London. In the richest places, the price of a flat is around 600,000 pounds. But boat life isn’t all fun. Quinn has to move his boat every two weeks and clean the toilet every day. Yuck! Still, Quinn loves his watery home. “You learn to fix things and make friends with others. Everyone is friendly and helpful!” he says. 回答以下问题，每题不超过6个词。 16．Why do many people in Britain live in boats? 17．Where does Quinn stop in the countryside? 18．How much is a flat in the richest places in London? 19．How often does Quinn move his boat? 20．What do you think of the life on the boat? 05 阅读并回答问题（每题答案不得超过六个词） My dream home is a flying home. I get the idea from the film Up(《飞屋环游记》). It is a wooden house, so it is light. And how can I make it fly? I plan to tie (系) some helium balloons(氦气球) to the house. They bring the house up into the air. It can fly for one hour at a time. It can take my family and me to a different place every season. The house is not very big in size. We only need six comfortable rooms—two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a dining room, and a modern room. The house flies to warm places in winter and cool places in summer. Where can we get energy and water? We get energy from the sun and we collect rainwater to use. So it is a green house. I think it would be a cool home. But my parents say it is a crazy (疯狂的) idea. They ask me what school I can study in if I live in that home. And they also say they must work in Nanjing. They cannot live in a different place every month. But I still hope my dream can come true one day. This is a great idea, right? Do you like the flying home. 21．Where do I get the idea of having a flying house? 22．How many minutes can the house fly at a time? 23．Why is the house light? 24．How can we get the water in the flying house? 25．What do you think of the writer’s idea? 06 根据短文内容回答问题。    Mobile Homes What is a mobile home? A mobile home is a new kind of house that can move easily, such as a room that trucks can pull. Often, driving along, you can see some mobile homes high on the hill. Some stand under trees along a river or a lake. They’re wonderful homes. Sometimes they’re about 40 feet long, with two to five rooms, and you can find many things you need in them. When you park your mobile home and connect water, electricity power and telephones, you can enjoy yourselves in it. These homes can be moved. However, sometimes their owners stay for years in one place, plant gardens, build walls and so on. Mobile homes are quite expensive. They usually cost 20,000 dollars. Why does a family choose to live in such a home? Well, it’s comfortable, easy to keep warm and there is no need to paint. What’s more, the fast increase (增长) of mobile homes in numbers has something to do with the job uncertainty (不确定性). Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. If a factory closes down, you will be very worried about the house you can’t sell. However, if you have a mobile home, you can move easily. The greatest selling attraction (吸引) of these mobile homes is that they can be improved every year. If you are doing well, you may change a new mobile room just as you do with a car. There is a ready market for used ones, so the price of mobile homes is higher than that of cars. Of course, there are some disadvantages (缺点) of mobile homes. The biggest one is that they will be cheaper and cheaper. If you have used your mobile home for many years, it will be very difficult to sell. Do you want to buy one mobile home? 26．What is a mobile home? 27．When can you enjoy yourselves in a mobile home? 28．How much do mobile homes cost? 29．Do you want to live in a mobile home? Why or why not? 07 阅读表达(答案不超过6个词) One place that is really important in my life is my grandmother’s house. She lives in a small village in the south. I go to visit my grandmother every summer. I can get away from the city and relax. The village is just a group of white houses on a hillside with some small shops. But it’s really peaceful. One reason why I like the village is that it’s a beautiful place. My grandmother has a lovely garden and we can sit under the trees, drinking sweet tea and chatting. It’s so pleasant. But the main reason why this place is so important to me is my grandmother herself. She is so kind to me, and wonderful to talk to. Also, she’s a great cook and the meals she prepares are simple, but so fresh and tasty. And she always gives me snacks during the day, so I always return home feeling calm and refreshed. I really love visiting my grandmother during the holidays. I admit that I probably couldn’t live somewhere like that all the time. It would be hard to live in a small village where everybody know each other. I like living in a busy, exciting place. But I think this small village is the best place for me to take a break and stay with my grandmother. 30．How often does the writer visit her grandmother? 31．What is the village like? 32．How does the writer feel when returning home from the village? 33．Where does the writer like to live? 34．What do you think of living in a village?

I don’t like very short hair, so my barber doesn’t cut off much. I have known him for almost four years, so when I go there, we always talk a lot. He tells me all his news and I tell him all mine. He meets a lot of interesting people in his shop and he talks to most of them, so he always has a lot of news for me. Every year my barber goes to France for his holidays. When he comes back to England, he has a lot of interesting news. While he is cutting my hair, he tells me about beautiful old cities and little villages, as well as strange food and drinks and many other things.
