—________ We can help the farmers sell their products.
A. It’s a deal. B. Not at all.
C. It doesn’t matter. D. Take it easy.
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——今年暑假我们去乡下做些社会实践吧。——一言为定。我们可以帮助农民销售他们的产品。
It’s a deal. 一言为定/成交(表示同意提议);Not at all. 不客气/一点也不(用于回应感谢或否定);It doesn’t matter. 没关系(用于回应道歉);Take it easy. 别紧张/放轻松(用于安慰)。根据前句“Let’s go to the countryside and do some social practices this summer holiday”可知,这是提出建议,应答者表示同意,应填It’s a deal.
2. —Andy warned us ________ careful with our wallets while going on a trip. —Well, he had a point. We should avoid ________ too much money with us.
A. to be; bringing B. being; bringing C. to be; bring D. be ; to bring
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——Andy警告我们旅行时要看好自己的钱包。——嗯,他说得有道理。我们应该避免随身带太多钱。
第一空warn sb. to do sth.是固定搭配,表示“警告某人做某事”,此处用to be careful;第二空avoid doing sth.是固定搭配,表示“避免做某事”,此处用bringing。
3. —Why do you like reading?
— Because it can make me ________ and forget all my troubles.
A. relaxes B. relaxed C. relaxing D. to relax
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你为什么喜欢阅读?——因为它能让我放松,忘掉所有的烦恼。
relaxes使放松,动词三单;relaxed放松的,形容词,常用来修饰人;relaxing令人放松的,形容词,常用来修饰物;to relax动词不定式。根据“make me...”可知,此处考查“make sb. +形容词”结构,表示“使某人……”,这里描述的是“我”的感受,即“放松的”,应用“relaxed”。
4. Thanks to the new policy (政策) of the government, people’s living ________ have improved significantly.
A. decision B. situations C. standards D. present
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:多亏了政府的新政策,人们的生活水平显著提高了。
decision决定;situations情况;standards标准;present礼物;现在。根据“Thanks to the new policy…have improved significantly”可知,政府政策带来的是生活水平的提升,固定搭配living standards意为“生活水平”,且谓语“have”提示主语需用复数形式。
5. It is important to think about the good things in life and not focus on the ________ side of things.
A. negative B. positive C. happy D. bright
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:重要的是要思考生活中美好的事情,而不是专注于事物消极的一面。
考查形容词辨析。negative消极的;positive积极的;happy快乐的;bright明亮的,乐观的。根据句中“It is important to think about the good things in life and not”可知,此处表示转折,与“the good things”相对,应选表示“消极的”形容词。故选A。
6. My grandparents live in the countryside, and they often grow vegetables by ________.
A. ourselves B. himself C. myself D. themselves
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:我的祖父母住在乡村,他们经常自己种蔬菜。
ourselves我们自己;himself他自己;myself我自己;themselves他们自己。根据主语“My grandparents”及后半句主语“they”可知,动作发出者是复数第三人称,固定短语by oneself,意为“独自,靠自己”,此处应用themselves。
7. More and more schools have introduced smart whiteboards ______ teachers can show teaching materials more easily in class.
A. so that B. even though C. as if D. ever since
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:越来越多的学校引入了智能白板,以便老师们能在课堂上更轻松地展示教学材料。
考查连词辨析。so that以便;为了(引导目的状语从句);even though尽管;即使(引导让步状语从句);as if好像;似乎(引导方式状语从句);ever since自从……以来(引导时间状语从句)。根据题干可知,前句“引入智能白板”是措施,后句“老师能更轻松展示材料”是目的,前后句是目的关系,应选用表示目的的连词。so that引导目的状语从句,符合语境。故选A。
8. The teacher tried to ________ the difficult math problem to us.
A. get into B. get across C. get over D. get up
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:老师试图向我们讲清楚这道难懂的数学题。
get into进入;get across使被理解;get over克服;get up起床。根据“The teacher tried to...the difficult math problem to us.”可知,老师是要把难题解释清楚让学生理解,get across符合语境。
9. Regular exercise helps to keep our bodies healthy. What’s more, it ________ stress and improves mood.
A. reduces B. repeats C. reports D. reviews
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:规律运动有助于保持我们的身体健康。此外,它能减少压力并改善情绪。
reduces减少;repeats重复;reports报告;reviews复习。根据“Regular exercise helps to keep our bodies healthy.”及“improves mood”可知运动有益健康,结合宾语“stress”可知运动能“减少”压力。reduces符合语境。
10. You won’t understand why she got upset ________ you put yourself in her shoes.
A. if B. until C. while D. and
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:直到你设身处地为她着想,你才会明白她为什么感到不安。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了爱好对孩子们的好处,包括帮助学习、激发创意、放松身心以及培养技能等方面。
【11题详解】
句意:爱好是一个人在空闲时间喜欢做的活动。
空后为time,固定搭配free time表示“空闲时间”,important“重要的”、lovely“可爱的”、clear“清晰的”均无法贴合爱好的时间属性。
【12题详解】
句意:它们帮助你学习。
根据本段后文“You learn new things”,整段围绕学习新知识展开,Cough“咳嗽”、Test“测试”、Check“检查”都不符合段落主旨。
【13题详解】
句意:获取更多关于你爱好的信息。
查阅各类资料的目的是搜集信息,invitation“邀请”、suggestion“建议”、solution“解决方案”均不符合查阅资料的目的。
【14题详解】
句意:对于许多爱好,例如搭建模型车。
空格后直接罗列两个爱好名词短语,such as可直接接名词举例;for example后面需要用逗号隔开,as long as“只要”、so far“到目前为止”逻辑不符。
【15题详解】
句意:拥有爱好让你感觉良好。
依据后文“feel-good”和“feel happy”,此处表达愉悦的感受,shocked“震惊的”、worried“焦虑的”、proud“骄傲的”情感色彩不匹配。
【16题详解】
句意:大脑的“感觉良好”部分收到一个信息。
大脑接收的是信息信号message,pill“药片”、coin“硬币”、stamp“邮票”都和大脑运作无关。
【17题详解】
句意:当我们感到快乐时,我们会有更少的压力。
快乐能够缓解压力,因此用less表示更少的,more“更多的”语义相反,much为原级不符合比较语境、a lot不能直接修饰名词stress。
【18题详解】
句意:太多压力对人们有害。
固定搭配be harmful to,表示“对……有害”,其余介词均无法构成正确短语搭配。
【19题详解】
句意:人们学习如何设定目标并解决问题。
固定搭配solve problems表示“解决问题",make“制作”、repeat“重复”、chat“聊天”都不能和problems搭配。
【20题详解】
句意:当他们长大时能找到好工作。
grow up表示“长大”,take up“开始从事”、put up“张贴;举起”、turn up“出现”均不符合孩子成长求职的语境。

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了黄河的名字来源、地理特征以及它在中国历史和文化中的重要地位,阐明了其作为中华民族“母亲河”的深远意义。
【21题详解】
句意:黄河中大约百分之九十的泥沙都来自黄土高原。
黄河90%的泥沙来自黄土高原,此处说明泥沙的来源,应选用comes from表示“来自”。
【22题详解】
句意:每到雨季,大量泥沙汇入黄河,因为黄土高原土质疏松,容易被冲刷带走。
空格前说暴雨季节大量泥沙进入黄河,空格后解释原因“黄土高原土质疏松易被冲走”,是因果关系,because表原因,符合逻辑。
【23题详解】
句意:黄河发源于青藏高原,它的形状和汉字“几”相似。
此处描述的是黄河弯曲的形态特点,应选用shape表示“形状”。time“时间”,voice“声音”,color“颜色”,均不符合黄河像“几”字的视觉特征。
【24题详解】
句意:它自西向东流经九个省份,最终汇入渤海。
结合中国地理常识可知,黄河的流向是自西向东,应选用east表示“东”。
【25题详解】
句意:黄河全长约5464千米,它流经的流域面积约752443平方千米。
后文提到覆盖面积约752443平方公里,此处讲黄河流经的区域面积,应选用area表示“面积/区域”。height“高度”,length“长度”,weight“重量”,均不能用平方公里来衡量。
【26题详解】
句意:在中国历史上,黄河是最重要的文明发源地。
后文提到“黄河是中华文明发源地,古中国人在此生活”,此处指“在中国历史中”,history符合语义。
【27题详解】
句意:古代华夏先民生活在这片土地上,辛勤劳作,创造出灿烂丰富的文明。
古代人民凭借辛勤的劳作才创造出灿烂的文化,应选用hard表示“努力地”。recently“最近”,quickly“快速地”,hardly“几乎不”,均不符合赞颂古代劳动人民勤劳精神的语境。
【28题详解】
句意:黄河也为工厂和人们的生活提供水。
黄河的水资源滋养了工业和民生,应选用offers表示“提供”,构成搭配offer sth. to sb.表示“向某人提供某物”。
【29题详解】
句意:而且,黄河在中国文化中也占据着举足轻重的地位。
此处是固定搭配play an important role in…,意为“在……中扮演重要角色”,应选用plays。promises“承诺”,realizes“实现”,explains“解释”,均不能与role构成该固定搭配。
【30题详解】
句意:黄河是中华民族精神的象征,我们称它为“母亲河”。
根据前文提到黄河孕育了中华文明以及后文“and we call it the ‘Mother River’”可知,黄河已经升华为一种民族精神的代表,应选用symbol表示“象征”。progress“进步”,century“世纪”,location“位置”,均不能表达黄河在文化与精神层面的深刻意义。

【答案】31. B 32. A 33. F 34. C 35. E
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了A发现Alice情绪低落,询问后得知Alice因做家务的问题与父母争吵,A耐心劝导并给出建议,最终Alice接受建议并向A表达感谢的对话。
【31题详解】
A看到Alice情绪低落,自然会用问句询问原因,B项“What’s wrong?”符合语境,能引出下文Alice的回答。其他选项均无法承接“look sad”的情绪场景。
【32题详解】
Alice认为做家务是浪费时间,而A持相反观点并阐述理由,A项“I don’t think so.”起到转折和引出观点的作用,符合对话逻辑。
【33题详解】
Alice认同A的观点后,自然会询问解决问题的办法,F项“What should I do now?”能顺承上下文,引出A接下来的建议。
【34题详解】
Alice提到父母回家晚,不方便当面道歉,A提出写信的替代方案,C项“Why don’t you write them a letter?”符合语境,且得到Alice“这是个好主意”的回应。
【35题详解】
Alice接受建议后,向A表达感谢,E项“Thanks a lot for your advice.”与下文A的回应“You are welcome.”完美呼应。

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述吉姆昨天肚子疼,父亲带他坐公交就医,并附上医生开具的病历单。
【36题详解】
原文第一段“His father took him to the hospital by bus.”,说明出行方式是乘坐公交车。
【37题详解】
病历建议“Take two pills each time, twice a day.”,每次吃两片,每天两次,所以每天4片。
【38题详解】
原文“He ate two ice creams after dinner yesterday and then he had a stomachache.”,表明吉姆是晚饭后肚子疼,并非晚饭前,A表述错误。
B
Tom loved reading books and surfing the Internet. Every day after school, he would go back home, finish his homework quickly, and then spend much time in front of his computer screen. As time went by, Tom found he had problems seeing the blackboard clearly. He had to squint (眯着眼睛) so that he could see the words on it, and his eyes often felt tired.
One day, Tom’s teacher found his problem and advised him to visit an eye doctor. Tom followed his advice and went to see Dr Smith, an experienced eye doctor. Dr Smith told Tom that he had pseudomyopia (假性近视).
Dr Smith said that Tom’s long hours on the computer and not playing outside enough caused his eye problem. She told Tom the importance of taking breaks often when using the computer and asked him to spend more time playing outside.
After hearing the doctor’s words, Tom made a decision to have some changes. He set a timer (定时器) to help himself remember to take breaks when studying and using the computer. He also started going for walks and playing sports with his friends after school. After weeks, Tom got healthier and his eyes felt less tired.
It’s important for us to balance indoor and outdoor activities. By making small changes to our habits, we are able to protect our eyes and enjoy our favourite activities at the same time.

A. Played sports. B. Set a timer. C. Read books. D. Used the computer.

【答案】39. D 40. B 41. C 42. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了汤姆曾因长时间使用电脑、缺乏户外活动患上假性近视,在医生的建议下,他调整了生活习惯,重新找回了健康。
【39题详解】
根据文章第一段中“Every day after school...and then spend much time in front of his computer screen”可知,Tom放学后花大量时间在电脑屏幕前,即使用电脑。
【40题详解】
根据文章第三段语境“Tom’s long hours on the computer and not playing outside enough caused his eye problem”可知,长时间用电脑和缺乏户外运动是导致他眼部问题的原因,因此caused意为“造成”。
【41题详解】
根据文章第四段首句提到“Tom made a decision to have some changes”,随后详细描述了他设置定时器、进行户外运动等具体改变及成效,故本段主要讲述Tom生活中的改变。
【42题详解】
根据文章最后一段“It’s important for us to balance indoor and outdoor activities”可知,写作目的是展示平衡屏幕时间和户外活动对保护眼睛的重要性。

Mount Qomolangma, at 8,848.86 meters, is the highest mountain in the world. It’s one of the greatest natural wonders that many climbers want to explore.
Do you know how Mount Qomolangma started to form? Mount Qomolangma’s rocks once sat at the bottom of the ocean. Around 45 million years ago, the Indian plate (板块) moved and hit the Eurasian plate. It made the land rise up and Mount Qomolangma formed.
Do you know that Mount Qomolangma keeps growing? According to a new study by scientists from University College London (UCL), Qomolangma grew by 15 to 50 meters because of a geographic event about 89,000 years ago. However, the UCL team found that Mount Qomolangma is growing faster these years. They estimated (估计) this to be between 0.16 and 0.53 millimeters each year!
Now the height of Mount Qomolangma rises a little bit every year because of big forces (力量) under the ground. It is also affected by weather conditions such as ice and snow. And rivers also affect it. The Arun River, which runs close to Mount Qomolangma, has been cutting through rocks and washing away the land over time. This makes the mountain lighter, allowing it to rise like a boat when weight is taken away. The process of this rising is isostatic rebound (地壳均衡回弹). This means the earth’s surface moves up or down when something heavy is taken away or put on.
Mount Qomolangma is not the only mountain that changes. The UCL team said that nearby mountains, Lhotse and Makalu, the fourth and fifth highest in the world, are also growing a little bit each year. How amazing nature is!
46. How does the writer start the passage?
A. By showing a fact. B. By telling a story.
C. By asking a question. D. By listing numbers.
47. What makes Mount Qomolangma rise?
①Rivers. ②Humans. ③Sea‑level. ④Weather conditions. ⑤Big forces under the ground.
A. ③④⑤ B. ①④⑤ C. ①②③ D. ①③⑤
48. What would be the best structure of the passage?
A. ① / ②③ / ④⑤ B. ①② / ③ / ④⑤
C. ① / ② / ③④ / ⑤ D. ①②③ / ④ / ⑤
49. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Climbing to the top B. Mount Qomolangma is getting taller
C. Research on Mount Qomolangma D. Go and visit Mount Qomolangma
【答案】46. A 47. B 48. C 49. B
【解析】
【导语】这篇文章介绍了珠穆朗玛峰的形成原因,讲解它如今仍在加速长高的多重影响因素,还提及周边山峰也在逐年升高,感叹大自然的奇妙。
【46题详解】
根据文章第一段首句“Mount Qomolangma, at 8,848.86 meters, is the highest mountain in the world.”可知,作者开篇直接陈述了珠穆朗玛峰的高度及地位这一事实,以此引出下文,而非讲故事、提问或单纯罗列数字。
【47题详解】
根据文章第四段“Now the height of Mount Qomolangma rises a little bit every year because of big forces under the ground. It is also affected by weather conditions such as ice and snow. And rivers also affect it.”可知,导致珠穆朗玛峰升高的因素包括地下力量(⑤)、天气条件(④)和河流(①)。文中未提及人类(②)和海平面(③)是其升高的原因。
【48题详解】
分析文章段落大意:第①段引入话题(最高峰);第②段介绍形成原因(板块运动);第③段指出现象(正在长高);第④段解释原因(为何长高);第⑤段拓展总结(其他山峰也在长高,感叹自然)。其中第③段和第④段逻辑紧密(现象 + 原因),应归为一部分;第①段为引入,第②段为背景,第⑤段为总结拓展。因此结构为① / ② / ③④ / ⑤。
【49题详解】
通读全文可知,文章虽然介绍了珠穆朗玛峰的形成,但重点篇幅(第 3、4、5 段)都在讨论珠穆朗玛峰及其附近山峰正在“长高”这一现象及其原因。
E
Last week, I brought home a pizza for dinner, hoping it would save me some time for my work. While I was at work, my 13‑year‑old son, Jordan, came into my room and said, “Mom, I’m getting hungry. Can you warm up the pizza now?”
“In a minute,” I answered without looking up.
Over the next ten minutes, he came over several times to tell me he was hungry.
I couldn’t stand it anymore. “You’re old enough to put a pizza into the microwave (微波炉).” I shouted. “Why don’t you just do it yourself? I’m so tired of being ATF.”
“What is ATF?” Jordan asked.
“All Things Food. I have to do all food‑related things, such as shopping, cooking, and doing the dishes. I need some help.”
Jordan nodded and said, “I understand, Mom.”
The next day, Jordan came home with several bags of food. Then he cooked three meals and did the dishes.
“ ▲ Although I only cooked three very simple meals, it still took a lot of time,” Jordan said. “Mom, I don’t think anyone should be ATF. Let’s make a rule. From now on, I’ll do the shopping, Dad will do the dishes, and you’ll just cook.”
I always felt that it was my job to take care of everyone in my family, but Jordan showed me that family members should care for each other.
50. How did Jordan help the writer out the next day?
A. By tidying up the house. B. By helping with her work.
C. By doing all food‑related things. D. By warming up the pizza himself.
51. Which of the following can be put in the “ ▲ ”?
A. ATF is really a huge job. B. I like cooking very much.
C. Cooking is not as difficult as I thought. D. I don’t want to do housework anymore.
52. What does the story want to tell us?
A. Housework is hard work. B. Everyone should learn some life skills.
C. We should do our own things by ourselves. D. Family members should care for each other.
【答案】50. C 51. A 52. D
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了一位母亲因独自承担家中所有与食物相关的事务而感到疲惫,儿子Jordan通过亲身实践体会到家务的辛苦,并主动提出重新分配家务,最终让母亲意识到家庭成员应该相互关爱。
【50题详解】
倒数第三段指出:“The next day, Jordan came home with several bags of food. Then he cooked three meals and did the dishes.”以及倒数第二段Jordan说的话“I’ll do the shopping, Dad will do the dishes, and you’ll just cook.”,说明Jordan第二天承担了所有与食物相关的事务。
【51题详解】
上文Jordan体验了做饭和洗碗后,结合空格后他说“Although I only cooked three very simple meals, it still took a lot of time”以及“I don’t think anyone should be ATF”,说明他认识到ATF是一项繁重的工作,所以选项A符合语境。
【52题详解】
文章最后一句点明主旨:“I always felt that it was my job to take care of everyone in my family, but Jordan showed me that family members should care for each other.”,直接揭示了文章的中心思想是家庭成员之间应该相互关爱。
阅读下面短文,并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)
Self‑love is the key to a happy life. However, learning to love yourself isn’t easy. You have to learn some steps to develop self‑love.
Accept yourself the way you are. Every person has his or her own advantages (优势) and disadvantages. Our advantages make us proud but our disadvantages make us unhappy. This isn’t the right attitude (态度) towards life. The correct thing to do is to accept the fact—you aren’t perfect. In fact, no one on this earth is perfect. The key is to reach a better balance and try to be as happy as possible.
Stop worrying. Worrying about a problem won’t let you think clearly. It won’t help you get a good result. In fact, it will make you very unhappy. So don’t let your worries trouble you. This will help you face the difficulties of life more bravely.
Enjoy life. Take part in activities that you love and develop a hobby. They can be anything that makes you happy. Spend some time enjoying them. This lets you use your skills, feel good about yourself, and start loving life.
Try to keep yourself healthy. If your body is weak or you are suffering from some health problems, you aren’t going to like it. So you must take good care of your health. It includes (包括) eating fresh healthy food, taking enough rest and doing exercise.

第四部分 写作(共两大题,满分25分)
Ⅸ.单词拼写(共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分)
根据首字母及汉语提示,完成下列单词的拼写,使句意明确,语言通顺。
56. Jack, here are some sharp k________ (刀). Keep away from them, or you may get hurt.
【答案】knives##nives
【解析】
【详解】句意:杰克,这里有几把锋利的刀。离它们远点,不然你可能会受伤。knife“刀”,是可数名词,some后接其复数形式knives。
57. Mr Lin s________ (幸存) an earthquake last year. He will never forget the terrible scene of the earthquake.
【答案】survived##urvived
【解析】
【详解】句意:林先生去年在一场地震中幸免于难。他永远不会忘记那场地震可怕的景象。结合中文提示“幸存”和首字母提示,对应的单词是survive,句中的时间状语last year表示过去的时间,由此可以确定本句需要使用一般过去时态,谓语动词要变为过去式,survive的过去式为survived,且survive可以直接后接灾难类名词作宾语,故此处填survived。
58. The kids are completely out of c________ (控制)since their father left home.
【答案】control##ontrol
【解析】
【详解】句意:自从孩子们的爸爸离家后,他们就完全失去控制了。根据汉语提示“控制”以及首字母“c”可知,对应的英文单词是“control”。固定短语out of control 表示“失去控制”,故填control。
59. She took part in helping people in the Wenchuan Earthquake. She would never forget this u________ (不寻常的) experience.
【答案】unusual##nusual
【解析】
【详解】句意:她参与了汶川地震的救援工作,她永远不会忘记这段不寻常的经历。“不寻常的”为unusual, 形容词在句中作定语。
60. For your s________ (安全), smoking is not allowed during the whole flight.
【答案】safety##afety
【解析】
【详解】句意:为了您的安全,全程航班禁止吸烟。 形容词性物主代词your后需搭配名词,中文提示“安全”对应的名词为safety,固定短语for your safety契合句子语义与语法结构。

Tom loved reading books and surfing the Internet. Every day after school, he would go back home, finish his homework quickly, and then spend much time in front of his computer screen. As time went by, Tom found he had problems seeing the blackboard clearly. He had to squint (眯着眼睛) so that he could see the words on it, and his eyes often felt tired.
One day, Tom’s teacher found his problem and advised him to visit an eye doctor. Tom followed his advice and went to see Dr Smith, an experienced eye doctor. Dr Smith told Tom that he had pseudomyopia (假性近视).
Dr Smith said that Tom’s long hours on the computer and not playing outside enough caused his eye problem. She told Tom the importance of taking breaks often when using the computer and asked him to spend more time playing outside.

Mount Qomolangma, at 8,848.86 meters, is the highest mountain in the world. It’s one of the greatest natural wonders that many climbers want to explore.
Do you know how Mount Qomolangma started to form? Mount Qomolangma’s rocks once sat at the bottom of the ocean. Around 45 million years ago, the Indian plate (板块) moved and hit the Eurasian plate. It made the land rise up and Mount Qomolangma formed.
Do you know that Mount Qomolangma keeps growing? According to a new study by scientists from University College London (UCL), Qomolangma grew by 15 to 50 meters because of a geographic event about 89,000 years ago. However, the UCL team found that Mount Qomolangma is growing faster these years. They estimated (估计) this to be between 0.16 and 0.53 millimeters each year!
Now the height of Mount Qomolangma rises a little bit every year because of big forces (力量) under the ground. It is also affected by weather conditions such as ice and snow. And rivers also affect it. The Arun River, which runs close to Mount Qomolangma, has been cutting through rocks and washing away the land over time. This makes the mountain lighter, allowing it to rise like a boat when weight is taken away. The process of this rising is isostatic rebound (地壳均衡回弹). This means the earth’s surface moves up or down when something heavy is taken away or put on.
Mount Qomolangma is not the only mountain that changes. The UCL team said that nearby mountains, Lhotse and Makalu, the fourth and fifth highest in the world, are also growing a little bit each year. How amazing nature is!

Last week, I brought home a pizza for dinner, hoping it would save me some time for my work. While I was at work, my 13‑year‑old son, Jordan, came into my room and said, “Mom, I’m getting hungry. Can you warm up the pizza now?”
“In a minute,” I answered without looking up.
Over the next ten minutes, he came over several times to tell me he was hungry.
I couldn’t stand it anymore. “You’re old enough to put a pizza into the microwave (微波炉).” I shouted. “Why don’t you just do it yourself? I’m so tired of being ATF.”
“What is ATF?” Jordan asked.
“All Things Food. I have to do all food‑related things, such as shopping, cooking, and doing the dishes. I need some help.”
Jordan nodded and said, “I understand, Mom.”
The next day, Jordan came home with several bags of food. Then he cooked three meals and did the dishes.
“ ▲ Although I only cooked three very simple meals, it still took a lot of time,” Jordan said. “Mom, I don’t think anyone should be ATF. Let’s make a rule. From now on, I’ll do the shopping, Dad will do the dishes, and you’ll just cook.”
I always felt that it was my job to take care of everyone in my family, but Jordan showed me that family members should care for each other.
50. How did Jordan help the writer out the next day?
A. By tidying up the house. B. By helping with her work.
C. By doing all food‑related things. D. By warming up the pizza himself.
51. Which of the following can be put in the “ ▲ ”?
A. ATF is really a huge job. B. I like cooking very much.
C. Cooking is not as difficult as I thought. D. I don’t want to do housework anymore.
52. What does the story want to tell us?
A. Housework is hard work. B. Everyone should learn some life skills.
C. We should do our own things by ourselves. D. Family members should care for each other.

Self‑love is the key to a happy life. However, learning to love yourself isn’t easy. You have to learn some steps to develop self‑love.
Accept yourself the way you are. Every person has his or her own advantages (优势) and disadvantages. Our advantages make us proud but our disadvantages make us unhappy. This isn’t the right attitude (态度) towards life. The correct thing to do is to accept the fact—you aren’t perfect. In fact, no one on this earth is perfect. The key is to reach a better balance and try to be as happy as possible.
Stop worrying. Worrying about a problem won’t let you think clearly. It won’t help you get a good result. In fact, it will make you very unhappy. So don’t let your worries trouble you. This will help you face the difficulties of life more bravely.
Enjoy life. Take part in activities that you love and develop a hobby. They can be anything that makes you happy. Spend some time enjoying them. This lets you use your skills, feel good about yourself, and start loving life.
