At the age of three, children can learn how to water plants and feed pets carefully. They should learn how to make their beds and put their dishes away. Children at this age can pick up the daily newspapers, and begin to learn how to wash clothes.
Four-year-olds should be old enough to do what the two and three year olds can do and more. They can make their beds, set the table, and clean up after dinner.

Children aged five should help clean the table and change their bed sheets (床单). They can also prepare their schoolbags for the next school day. At this age they should learn to clean up their toys and tidy up their rooms.

【26题详解】
句意:那是因为国王太懒了,除了吃和睡,什么事都不做。根据“and wouldn’t do...except eating and sleeping”可知,除了吃和睡,国王什么事都不做,此处是否定句,否定句中用anything。故填anything。

四、任务型阅读理解(共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
阅读短文,根据短文内容回答下面五个问题。
The Magical Bamboo: Our Green Friend
Bamboo is a magical plant in China—it grows very fast, even over one meter a day! Its stems are straight and strong, so people use them to make chairs, baskets and even small houses. What’s more, bamboo leaves keep the air clean and help stop soil from being washed away when it rains.
Five years ago, some villagers cut down too much bamboo. Farmers wanted more land to grow vegetables, so many bamboo forests became smaller and smaller. Without enough bamboo, the air got a little dirty, and the soil near rivers began to run off. The village looked less green, ① people started to worry about their homes.
Luckily, someone decided to save bamboo. The government told farmers to keep some bamboo forests. Villagers planted young bamboo by rivers and roads. Students joined in too—they watered the new bamboo every weekend and told their friends, “Bamboo keeps our village clean and beautiful!”
Now, the villages are full of green bamboo again. Tall bamboo stands by rivers, and the air feels fresh. This teaches us an important lesson: when we protect plants like bamboo, we are protecting our own clean and happy homes.
36. Bamboo grows very fast, even over one meter a day! 根据短文内容,将本句话改写为同义句,每空一词。
Bamboo grows very fast, even ________ ________ one meter a day!
37. Choose the proper conjunction (连词) to fill in the blank ① .

39. 当我们保护像竹子这样的植物时,我们就是在保护自己干净又幸福的家园。
40. Bamboo can be used to make chopsticks and bamboo mats in daily life.
【解析】
【导语】本文围绕“竹子”展开,介绍了竹子的特性、用途,以及村庄从过度砍伐竹子到保护竹子的过程,最后点明保护植物就是保护家园的道理。
【36题详解】
根据原句“Bamboo grows very fast, even over one meter a day!”,“over”意为“超过”,其同义短语是“more than”。故填more;than。
【37题详解】
前文提到“村庄变得不那么绿了”,后文“人们开始担心自己家园”是前文带来的结果,表因果关系的连词“so(因此)”符合语境。故填so。
【38题详解】
根据“the government told farmers to keep some bamboo forests. Villagers planted young bamboo... Students joined in too”可知,参与拯救竹子的有政府、农民和学生。故填The government, farmers, villagers, and students joined in the activity of saving bamboo.
【39题详解】
句子为“when”引导时间状语从句,“when we protect plants like bamboo”意为“当我们保护像竹子这样的植物时”;“we are protecting our own clean and happy homes”意为“我们就是在保护自己干净又幸福的家园”。故填:当我们保护像竹子这样的植物时,我们就是在保护自己干净又幸福的家园。
【40题详解】
开放性题目,结合生活实际,竹子可用于制作筷子(chopsticks)、竹席(bamboo mats)等。故填Bamboo can be used to make chopsticks and bamboo mats in daily life.

43. The ________ (different) between summer and winter are very clear.

【解析】
【详解】句意:夏季和冬季之间的差异非常明显。此处定冠词“The”后需接名词,different是形容词,其对应的名词形式是difference;结合句中谓语“are”可知,名词需用复数形式differences,故填differences。

Friends are very important in our lives. If you’re a quiet and shy person and want to know how to make friends here’s some advice for you.

Get along with people who have similar interests to you. If you communicate with a few people first, get to know them and try to find your common interests. For example, if both of you like soccer or basketball, then sports can be a good topic between you and your friend.

The Magical Bamboo: Our Green Friend
Bamboo is a magical plant in China—it grows very fast even over one meter a day! Its stems are straight and strong, so people use them to make chairs, baskets and even small houses. What’s more, bamboo leaves keep the air clean and help stop soil from being washed away when it rains.
Five years ago, some villagers cut down too much bamboo. Farmers wanted more land to grow vegetables, so many bamboo forests became smaller and smaller. Without enough bamboo, the air got a little dirty, and the soil near rivers began to run off. The village looked less green, ① people started to worry about their homes.
Luckily, someone decided to save bamboo. The government told farmers to keep some bamboo forests. Villagers planted young bamboo by rivers and roads. Students joined in too—they watered the new bamboo every weekend and told their friends, “Bamboo keeps our village clean and beautiful!”
Now, the villages are full of green bamboo again. Tall bamboo stands by rivers, and the air feels fresh. This teaches us an important lesson: when we protect plants like bamboo, we are protecting our own clean and happy homes.
