But in Australia, Jim and Robert’s mother, Mrs. Black, has good and proper methods to get her children to do housework. Here is an example. “Mom, have you worked out next week’s chores? Let Jim and me choose the cards. I can’t wait. It’s fun!” When Robert shouted out, his mother had already put all the cards on their big table. On the cards, there are some words like these “sweep the floor, clean your bedroom, help mom cook, wash vegetables, make beds, feed the fish, cut the wood, clean the bathroom ” and many others, Jim and Robert chose two cards for each day from Monday to Friday. Then they would hang them on the weekday board. Jim likes to clean the bathroom, so he picked up the card “clean the bathroom”. Robert loves to make the bed so he picked up his favorite card. Jim again picked up “wash vegetables” and Robert chose “feed the fish”. Soon the two boys were happy to take away all the cards. To help the children do chores, their mother thought hard and figured out this idea.

When everyone helps, the work becomes easier, and your parents will be happy. Second, being kind to your family is the key to a sweet home. Always speak politely to your parents and siblings.

For example, if our parents say no to something we want, we should understand their reasons instead of getting angry. Third, spending time together makes a home sweet. We can eat meals together, watch movies, or play games. These activities help us feel closer to each other. Even small things, like helping our siblings with homework or telling funny stories, can bring joy to the family. Home is a place full of love and safety. When everyone cares for each other and works together, our home becomes a sweet and happy place.

Mom and Dad have so many kids, so they don’t have to do anything.” That’s right, my children. You now know your place in the family. Snacks and TV, here I come! I don’t need to clean a thing in my house. Most of this is because I have older kids now. We put our chores into two groups: everyday chores and paid chores. Here are everyday chores in our home: clear the table and chairs, do the dishes and sweep the floor after each meal and take out the rubbish. We also pay our kids. These chores are usually our weekly cleaning tasks, such as washing the car and cleaning the living room. We don’t usually give them lots of instructions (提示) before they do the chores. They can find out how things work themselves. As they have more experience, we ask them to do better. And we’re glad they can look after themselves. 1．What does the writer mean by “Snacks and TV, here I come”? A．She never eats snacks and watches TV. B．She has time to enjoy herself at home.

Looking at the empty (空的) kitchen, I remembered how tired she was these days. At that moment, I decided to surprise her with a dinner. I called Grandma.She carefully guided me over the phone. First, I washed fresh tomatoes,onions, and carrots. I almost cut my hand several times when I cut them up. Then I slowly added some salt and pepper according to Grandma’s advice. While making the soup, I steamed rice and made a simple vegetable salad. Just as I was placing bowls on the table, Mom walked in. Excitement (激动) appeared on her tired face. “Is this all for me?”she asked in a trembling (颤抖的) voice. We sat down to eat, and Mom had some soup, enjoying every bite with her eyes closed. “What a delicious meal!” she said, “But the best part is you made it with love.” That night, as we ate the dishes together, Mom told me stories about her first learning to cook from Grandma.I realized that cooking is not just about making food-it’s a way to share love.

Should children help out around the house? For some children, doing housework may be the last thing they want to do. For many parents, getting their children to help with housework is also one big headache (头疼). However, Nurafiza, a Malaysian mother found a creative way. Nurafiza came up with a reward (奖励) system for her two sons at home. She made a list of housework for her kids and gave them money for every task they had finished. The list of housework included cleaning up the house and putting away their toys for RM 50 each, doing the dishes for RM 80, and even not fighting with each other for RM 10 to RM 15. Nurafiza also opened a “mini mart (迷你超市)” at home for kids to spend the money in. Her three-year-old and six-year-old sons could buy snacks at her “mini mart” which was open from 10 a. m. to 8 p. m. The money she gave to her kids was fake (假的) cash, which she had bought online. Because of this system, both of her children are glad to help with housework. Her Facebook post has got over 15,000 likes and has been shared over 27,000 times. Many parents have begun to imitate her. They use the same way to discipline (管教) their children. In fact, doing housework plays an important role in children’s development. First, housework teaches children basic (基本的) skills for living, like cooking and cleaning.

C．How different families give rewards for housework. Last Saturday, Lily’s family decided to relax at home. Lily was really unhappy because she didn’t like staying at home at weekends. “I really want to go to the beach”, Lily said sadly. “I want to make sandcastles (沙堡) and swim in the sea.” Lily’s mom sat down beside her and gave her a hug. “Let’s make this home holiday just as special! How about starting by cleaning together? After that, we can cook together,” her mom said. As they worked, Lily cleaned the floor and said, “This isn’t as fun as traveling. It is so boring.” Her little brother Tom, who was cleaning the windows, said happily, “But we can decorate the living room after cleaning!

She learned to make dumplings from her mother. “Mom, my dumplings look ugly!” Lily said. Her mom laughed, “Just pinch (捏) the dumpling like this. Practice makes perfect.” Tom was making fruit salad with Dad. He showed it to Lily. “Look! I added many strawberries. I know you like eating strawberries,” he said excitedly.

They sent an invitation to a leading (一流的) US television station, expecting that it would send a film group to record their day- to- day life without technology for a month. When the film group met the Smiths, they found that Mr Smith, Mrs Smith and their two kids were so crazy about (迷上) technology that they hardly did things together. At mealtimes, no one sat at the dining table for their food. “Everyone just runs into the kitchen, takes their food and then goes back to their screen,” Mrs Smith explained, “If we don’t make a change, our family will become strangers to each other！” Getting back to normal (正常的) life without the internet is not easy, especially when the Smiths lose themselves in it. They have to make many changes. For example, two kids have to go to the school library to borrow books for their scientific projects, and Mr and Mrs Smith need to go out shopping because they cannot buy things online. As the family have picked up the new lifestyle, they find that they can spend more time talking over meals, playing sports and doing all kinds of activities together. Would they be able to go for long without using the internet after the challenge? 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．How many people are there in the Smith family? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four.

However, lots of Chinese parents do not know the importance of doing housework, and they think it is a waste of time. In order to know how often middle school students do housework at home, we did a survey among 1,200 students from Grade 7 to Grade 9 in a middle school. The following bar chart shows the result of our survey. From the bar chart, we find that only a small number of students usually do housework. Nearly half of the students in Grade 9 never do housework. The result makes us worried. After all, doing housework is good for students. It can teach students many important skills, like planning, cleaning, solving problems and so on. Doing housework can also teach students what responsibility is. Everyone should do something for the family. What’s more, doing housework can help students relax themselves and keep a balance between study and life. Therefore, we suggest that parents should encourage their children to do housework. Their children must learn one or two life skills every year so that they can live by themselves in the future. 1．What can we learn from the bar chart? A．Students in all grades actively take part in housework. B．Over half of the students in Grade 8 never do housework. C．Students in Grade 7 do housework more often than students in Grade 9. D．The result of Grade 9 students is the least worrying among all grades. 2．Which of the following is NOT a good point of doing housework? A．Relaxing a busy mind. B．Saving more time for study.

D．To point out a worrying problem for teachers in school. Housework is a great tool to use for raising children. However, not all chores are suitable for every age. The following is advice on activities parents can use to help their children. Two-year-olds can learn how to take out the rubbish. They can also help their parents carry light things and hang up clothes. At this age children should learn how to put their toys away before going to bed. 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. They should also learn how to fold their clothes and put them in the right cabinets (柜子), as well as how to choose their clothes for the following day. 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. Children grow through their experiences. The more things they do, the more they will learn. Others help them only when they need it. It is important that they learn how to be independent (独立的) and try to finish the chores by themselves. 1．What does the underlined word “suitable” in Paragraph 1 mean?

Should children help out around the house? For some children, doing housework may be the last thing they want to do. For many parents, getting their children to help with housework is also one big headache (头疼). However, Nurafiza, a Malaysian mother found a creative way. Nurafiza came up with a reward (奖励) system for her two sons at home. She made a list of housework for her kids and gave them money for every task they had finished. The list of housework included cleaning up the house and putting away their toys for RM 50 each, doing the dishes for RM 80, and even not fighting with each other for RM 10 to RM 15. Nurafiza also opened a “mini mart (迷你超市)” at home for kids to spend the money in. Her three-year-old and six-year-old sons could buy snacks at her “mini mart” which was open from 10 a. m. to 8 p. m. The money she gave to her kids was fake (假的) cash, which she had bought online. Because of this system, both of her children are glad to help with housework. Her Facebook post has got over 15,000 likes and has been shared over 27,000 times. Many parents have begun to imitate her. They use the same way to discipline (管教) their children. In fact, doing housework plays an important role in children’s development. First, housework teaches children basic (基本的) skills for living, like cooking and cleaning.

A month ago, one American family decided to find out. They sent an invitation to a leading (一流的) US television station, expecting that it would send a film group to record their day- to- day life without technology for a month. When the film group met the Smiths, they found that Mr Smith, Mrs Smith and their two kids were so crazy about (迷上) technology that they hardly did things together. At mealtimes, no one sat at the dining table for their food. “Everyone just runs into the kitchen, takes their food and then goes back to their screen,” Mrs Smith explained, “If we don’t make a change, our family will become strangers to each other！” Getting back to normal (正常的) life without the internet is not easy, especially when the Smiths lose themselves in it. They have to make many changes. For example, two kids have to go to the school library to borrow books for their scientific projects, and Mr and Mrs Smith need to go out shopping because they cannot buy things online. As the family have picked up the new lifestyle, they find that they can spend more time talking over meals, playing sports and doing all kinds of activities together. Would they be able to go for long without using the internet after the challenge? 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．How many people are there in the Smith family? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 2．Why did the family ask a leading US television station to record their daily life? A．To develop an interest in life with technology. B．To become famous. C．To stop the family from becoming strangers to each other. D．To become crazy about doing things together. 3．Why did nobody in the Smith family sit at the dining table at mealtimes? A．Because they liked watching their favourite TV program while eating. B．Because they disliked sitting at the dining table for their food. C．Because they were not family any more. D．Because they were crazy about technology. 4．What is the third paragraph mainly about? A．Getting back to the normal life without the internet is easy. B．The changes the Smiths made to live a life without the internet. C．The Smiths don’t want to change the new lifestyle. D．The new lifestyle brings much trouble to the Smiths. 5．We can infer that Mrs Smith ________ the changes in her family. A．worries about B．likes C．dislikes D．doesn’t believe 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．D 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Smith一家为了改变因过度沉迷科技而逐渐疏远的家庭关系，邀请美国知名电视台记录他们一个月无网络生活的经历，以及在这个过程中家庭成员做出的改变和生活方式的转变。 1．第二段指出家庭成员构成：“Mr Smith, Mrs Smith and their two kids”，这直接说明Smith家一共有四个人。 2．第二段提到Mrs Smith的话：“If we don't make a change, our family will become strangers to each other”，这说明他们邀请电视台记录日常生活是为了阻止家庭成员彼此变得陌生，避免家庭关系疏远。 3．第二段指出：“Mr Smith, Mrs Smith and their two kids were so crazy about technology that they hardly did things together. At mealtimes, no one sat at the dining table for their food”，这说明一家人吃饭时不坐在餐桌旁是因为他们对科技着迷，沉迷于电子设备。 4．第三段围绕Smith一家在无网络生活中做出的改变展开，例如孩子去学校图书馆借书、夫妇外出购物，以及他们逐渐适应新生活方式后，有更多时间一起吃饭、运动、做活动，所以该段主要讲的是Smith一家为适应无网络生活做出的改变。 5．从文章最后一段“they find that they can spend more time talking over meals, playing sports and doing all kinds of activities together”可以看出，Smith夫人对于家庭关系因无网络生活而变得亲密、家庭成员能更多地一起活动这些变化是认可和喜欢的，所以可以推断她喜欢家庭的变化。 ◇考点 02 重难语篇提升练 Doing housework is a key part of family life. It helps improve the relationship among family members. However, lots of Chinese parents do not know the importance of doing housework, and they think it is a waste of time. In order to know how often middle school students do housework at home, we did a survey among 1,200 students from Grade 7 to Grade 9 in a middle school. The following bar chart shows the result of our survey. From the bar chart, we find that only a small number of students usually do housework. Nearly half of the students in Grade 9 never do housework. The result makes us worried. After all, doing housework is good for students. It can teach students many important skills, like planning, cleaning, solving problems and so on. Doing housework can also teach students what responsibility is. Everyone should do something for the family. What’s more, doing housework can help students relax themselves and keep a balance between study and life. Therefore, we suggest that parents should encourage their children to do housework. Their children must learn one or two life skills every year so that they can live by themselves in the future. 1．What can we learn from the bar chart? A．Students in all grades actively take part in housework. B．Over half of the students in Grade 8 never do housework. C．Students in Grade 7 do housework more often than students in Grade 9. D．The result of Grade 9 students is the least worrying among all grades. 2．Which of the following is NOT a good point of doing housework? A．Relaxing a busy mind. B．Saving more time for study. C．Practicing planning and cleaning skills. D．Learning to live by themselves in the future. 3．What does the underlined word “responsibility” probably mean in Paragraph 4? A．技能 B．能力 C．责任 D．方法 4．What’s the purpose of the passage? A．To show the result of a recent survey. B．To teach students how to do housework. C．To remind people of the importance of doing housework. D．To point out a worrying problem for teachers in school. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文通过一项针对中学生做家务频率的调查，分析了当前学生做家务的现状。 1．细节理解题。根据图表和“Nearly half of the students in Grade 9 never do housework.”可知，九年级学生从不做家务的比例最高，而七年级学生做家务的频率相对更高。选项C“Students in Grade 7 do housework more often than students in Grade 9.”符合这一结论。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Doing housework can help students relax themselves and keep a balance between study and life.”可知，做家务能帮助学生放松、练习规划和清洁技能、学会独立生活，但并没有提到“为学习节省更多时间”。选项B“Saving more time for study.” 不是做家务的好处。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据“Doing housework can also teach students what responsibility is. Everyone should do something for the family.”可知，做家务能让学生明白“责任”的含义，即每个人都应该为家庭做些事。因此“responsibility”的意思是“责任”。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。文章通过调查结果引出话题，重点阐述了做家务的好处，并呼吁家长鼓励孩子做家务。因此，文章的目的是 “提醒人们做家务的重要性”。故选C. Housework is a great tool to use for raising children. However, not all chores are suitable for every age. The following is advice on activities parents can use to help their children. Two-year-olds can learn how to take out the rubbish. They can also help their parents carry light things and hang up clothes. At this age children should learn how to put their toys away before going to bed. 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. They should also learn how to fold their clothes and put them in the right cabinets (柜子), as well as how to choose their clothes for the following day. 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. Children grow through their experiences. The more things they do, the more they will learn. Others help them only when they need it. It is important that they learn how to be independent (独立的) and try to finish the chores by themselves. 1．What does the underlined word “suitable” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．ready B．early C．fit D．late 2．Match(匹配) the ages with suitable activities. a. 2 years old      b. 3 years old  c. 4 years old    d. 5 years old ①change bed sheets ②fold clothes ③hang up clothes ④wash clothes A．a-④; b-③; c-①; d-② B．a-③; b-④; c-①; d-② C．a-③; b-④; c-②; d-① D．a-④; b-②; c-③; d-① 3．What makes children grow according to the passage?

A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．A 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了不同年龄段孩子适合承担的家务，并阐述了家务对培养孩子独立性的重要作用。 1．词句猜测题。根据第一段“However, not all chores are suitable for every age.”可知，suitable意为“适合的”，与选项“fit”含义一致。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据文章细节进行匹配：a.2 years old：第二段提到“hang up clothes” (挂衣服)→③；b.3 years old：第三段提到“begin to learn how to wash clothes” (开始学习洗衣服)→④；c.4 years old：第四段提到“learn how to fold their clothes”(学习叠衣服)→②；d.5 years old：第五段提到“change their bed sheets” (换床单)→①。因此匹配为a-③；b-④；c-②；d-①。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Children grow through their experiences.”可知，孩子的成长来自于个人经历。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“Two-year-olds”、“At the age of three”、“Four-year-olds”、“Children aged five”可知，文中按2岁、3岁、4岁、5岁的顺序，介绍的家务任务逐步增多，可推断6岁孩子可能比5岁孩子做更多家务。故选B。 5．篇章结构题。第一段引入主题 (家务是育儿工具，但需分龄)；第二至五段分别详细说明2岁、3岁、4岁、5岁孩子适合的家务 (具体分述)；最后一段总结，强调经验对成长的重要性以及培养独立性的意义 (总结和深化)。这是典型的“总-分-总”结构。故选A。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
