Dear diary,

Our living room is also quite small and it’s a little dark. The windows are too small and there is no balcony (阳台). Our bathroom is big, but it’s really old. So my parents decided to find a new flat for us.
The new flat is much bigger. It has four bedrooms, so Sally and I can have our own rooms. Eric’s room is large and it has a balcony. He’s so happy. Mom and dad’s room also has a balcony. There are two bathrooms that are both beautiful and modern. And the living room is excellent. It has two big windows, so it is nice and light. It’s in Eastgardens—about five kilometers from here. It’s closer to our schools, so that’s great. Dad will have to travel a little farther to work, but he doesn’t mind (介意).
Here’s the best thing. There’s a swimming pool. Everyone who lives there shares it. I can’t believe (相信) it. I can swim every day after school. I can’t wait to ask all my classmates to have a pool party. I am really excited about that.

My Home and Dream House
My family lives in a comfortable three-story house. The first floor has a living room where we relax together every evening. Next to the living room is a small study room where my father keeps his collection of over 500 stamps from 30 different countries—he started collecting them when he was 12 years old.
On the second floor, there are three bedrooms. My bedroom is the second one from the stairs, painted light blue—my favorite color. The third floor is my favorite place because we built a special reading corner there last year. My mother arranged 150 books neatly on six wooden shelves that my brother made during his summer vacation.
Though our house is nice, I often imagine my dream home. It would be a modern tree-house built between four strong oak trees. The first tree would hold a circular living room, the second would have a kitchen, the third would contain two cozy bedrooms, and the fourth would support a small swimming pool. I’d collect rainwater in seven colorful barrels placed around the trees.
Next to this amazing tree house, I want to build a garden with exactly 25 types of flowers. The garden path would be made from 1,000 smooth stones I plan to collect from different beaches. Sometimes I sketch designs showing the first floor 15 meters above ground and the second floor 20 meters high. My parents say it’s an interesting idea, but they think building it would be challenging!
From my real home to my imaginary one, both places make me feel safe and happy. What does your dream house look like?

四、任务型阅读
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?
My dream home is a flying home. I get the idea from the film Up (《飞屋环游记》). Isn’t it a cool home? Do you think it is a strange idea?
The house is made of wood, so it is light. And how can I make it fly? I plan to tie some helium (氦) balloons to the house. They bring the house up into the air. It can fly for one hour at a time. It takes us to a different place every season.
The house is not very big in size, but it is comfortable. We only need two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a dining room and a modern bathroom. The room 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’s a green house.
I think it would be a cool home. But my parents say it is a crazy idea. They ask me what school I can study in if I live in that home. And they also say they must work in Shanghai. They can’t live in a different place every month. This is a great idea, right?
Do you like the flying home? I hope my dream can come true one day.
根据短文内容,回答下列问题。
1.Where does the writer get the idea to have a flying home?
2.Why is the house light?
3.How many minutes can the house fly at a time?

5.Besides (除了) “flying” and “cool”, what other adjectives (形容词) can we use to describe (描述) the house?

Dear diary,
Mom and Dad found a new flat (公寓) today. Now that we are all teenagers, our flat is too small. Sally and I share (共享) a room, and Eric’s room is really small. Our living room is also quite small and it’s a little dark. The windows are too small and there is no balcony (阳台). Our bathroom is big, but it’s really old. So my parents decided to find a new flat for us.
The new flat is much bigger. It has four bedrooms, so Sally and I can have our own rooms. Eric’s room is large and it has a balcony. He’s so happy. Mom and dad’s room also has a balcony. There are two bathrooms that are both beautiful and modern. And the living room is excellent. It has two big windows, so it is nice and light. It’s in Eastgardens—about five kilometers from here. It’s closer to our schools, so that’s great. Dad will have to travel a little farther to work, but he doesn’t mind (介意).
Here’s the best thing. There’s a swimming pool. Everyone who lives there shares it. I can’t believe (相信) it. I can swim every day after school. I can’t wait to ask all my classmates to have a pool party. I am really excited about that.

My Home and Dream House
My family lives in a comfortable three-story house. The first floor has a living room where we relax together every evening. Next to the living room is a small study room where my father keeps his collection of over 500 stamps from 30 different countries—he started collecting them when he was 12 years old.
On the second floor, there are three bedrooms. My bedroom is the second one from the stairs, painted light blue—my favorite color. The third floor is my favorite place because we built a special reading corner there last year. My mother arranged 150 books neatly on six wooden shelves that my brother made during his summer vacation.
Though our house is nice, I often imagine my dream home. It would be a modern tree-house built between four strong oak trees. The first tree would hold a circular living room, the second would have a kitchen, the third would contain two cozy bedrooms, and the fourth would support a small swimming pool. I’d collect rainwater in seven colorful barrels placed around the trees.
Next to this amazing tree house, I want to build a garden with exactly 25 types of flowers. The garden path would be made from 1,000 smooth stones I plan to collect from different beaches. Sometimes I sketch designs showing the first floor 15 meters above ground and the second floor 20 meters high. My parents say it’s an interesting idea, but they think building it would be challenging!
From my real home to my imaginary one, both places make me feel safe and happy. What does your dream house look like?

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.

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?

【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。

2.根据第二段倒数“Caravans are mobile homes. They are towed by either a car or a huge truck.”可知,大篷车是可移动的房屋,可推测房车通常被一辆汽车或一辆大卡车拖着。故填A car or a huge truck.
3.根据第三段“In the past, rich and important people built strong castles to keep their families safe.”可知,在过去,富贵显要之人会建造坚固的城堡来保护家人的安全。故填Rich and important people.
4.根据“Moats were deep and wide ditches filled with water. They made it difficult for enemies to attack.”可知,护城河是又深又宽的充满水的沟渠,它们使敌人难以进攻。故填Because they made it difficult for enemies to attack.
5.开放性试题,言之有理即可。故填Safety./Love.
My dream home is a flying home. I get the idea from the film Up (《飞屋环游记》). Isn’t it a cool home? Do you think it is a strange idea?
The house is made of wood, so it is light. And how can I make it fly? I plan to tie some helium (氦) balloons to the house. They bring the house up into the air. It can fly for one hour at a time. It takes us to a different place every season.
The house is not very big in size, but it is comfortable. We only need two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a dining room and a modern bathroom. The room 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’s a green house.
I think it would be a cool home. But my parents say it is a crazy idea. They ask me what school I can study in if I live in that home. And they also say they must work in Shanghai. They can’t live in a different place every month. This is a great idea, right?
Do you like the flying home? I hope my dream can come true one day.

2.根据“The house is made of wood, so it is light.”可知,房屋是木制的,所以很轻。故填Because it is made of wood.
