Mum said we needed to make the house warm and tidy before they arrived. She turned to me and my brother, asking if we could help finish all the chores together. “Could you please 1______ your messy bedroom first?” Mum asked me softly. I nodded and started to pack up all my storybooks and hang up my sports photos on the wall. My brother was asked to clean the bathroom and take out the rubbish after dinner. Neither of us wanted to say no, because we knew Mum and Dad were busy 2______ delicious snacks for the old couple. Later, Dad came over with a new wall clock. “Can one of you help me hang it 3______ the living room wall?” he asked. I finished my room quickly, so I volunteered to give him a hand. While we worked, Dad told me small stories about when he was a kid. He said back then, children all shared housework and never waited for parents to do everything for them. After cleaning, my brother said, “Could I buy some potted flowers to put beside the window? Grandma loves green plants.” Mum agreed and told us we could ride bikes to the community flower shop nearby. On the way, we talked about what home really meant. We both believed home was not just a house full of furniture, 4______ a place filled with care and small warm acts. When we got back, we watered the plants and set the table for dinner. Nobody told us to do these extra things, but we were glad to make small efforts. That evening, grandparents arrived and looked around every room with big smiles. Grandma held our hands and said the flat felt much warmer 5______ any other place she had stayed. I used to think doing chores was boring and troublesome. I always refused my parents’ requests and asked them to do everything for me. But this weekend completely 6______ my idea. Simple housework is not a heavy task; it’s a way to show love for the family. You don’t need to do something amazing to warm your home. 7______ small helpful act counts. If you see rubbish on the floor, sweep it up without being asked. If your parent looks tired, could you offer to wash the dishes 8______ them? Every polite request and willing help makes home sweeter. Before grandparents left on Sunday, they said they hoped we would keep sharing chores at home. We promised we 9______ do our best. This special weekend taught me a valuable lesson: the sweetest home is built by every family member’s 10______. 1. clean up B. give up C. pick up D. wake up 2. prepare B. preparing C. to prepare D. prepared 3. in B. under C. on D. over 4. and B. but C. so D. or 5. than B. as C. like D. from 6. kept B. lost C. changed D. forgot 7. No B. Every C. None D. Few 8. with B. about C. for D. against 9. will B. would C. can D. could 10. kindness B. trouble C. sadness D. silence 二、阅读理解（共 3 篇，每篇 5 小题，每题 2 分，满分 30 分） Passage A 素材来源：《英语周报九年级生活主题》原创改编 Now more middle schools in China set “family labor homework” for students every weekend. Teachers ask teenagers to finish at least two kinds of housework and write short feelings after working. Different students have different ideas about this special homework. Li Jia, a Grade Nine student, is a big fan of the labor homework. Every Saturday morning, she helps her mum sweep the floor, water balcony flowers and fold clean clothes. Last month, her parents planned to invite several relatives to their new house. Li Jia took the initiative to clean the bathroom and pack up old boxes in the storage room. When her mum wanted to stop her, Li Jia said politely, “Could you please let me finish it alone? I want to share your tiredness.” Before the labor homework came out, Li Jia never touched any chores. She only focused on school lessons and thought housework had nothing to do with students. After months of practice, she totally changed her mind. “I finally realize how much time my parents spend keeping our home comfortable every day,” she said. “Now I always offer help without waiting for them to make requests.” However, not all students enjoy doing housework. Lin Hao thinks labor homework takes up too much study time. Every weekend, his parents have to remind him many times before he slowly takes out the rubbish. When his mum asks him to hang up photos or wash dishes, he often replies, “Can I do it tomorrow? I have lots of homework to finish right now.” He believes teenagers should only put energy into school subjects. Teachers explain the true purpose of family labor homework. It is not just training students’ life skills. More importantly, it lets teenagers understand responsibility and gratitude. A warm home needs everyone’s effort, not only parents’. Polite communication and willing housework make family ties much closer. 1. What is “family labor homework” according to the passage? A. Students write articles about school life every weekend. B. Students finish at least two housework tasks each weekend. C. Students visit their relatives and do volunteer work. D. Students take cooking classes at school every Saturday. 2. What did Li Jia do before her relatives visited? A. She bought flowers in the community shop. B. She washed all the dishes after dinner. C. She cleaned the bathroom and packed old boxes. D. She hung up family photos on the living room wall. 3. How did Li Jia feel about housework in the past? A. She thought it was meaningful and fun. B. She believed it had nothing to do with students. C. She loved sharing chores with her parents. D. She learned many useful life skills from it. 4. Why does Lin Hao dislike doing housework? A. He thinks it wastes his study time. B. He doesn’t know how to finish different chores. C. His parents never ask him to help at home. D. He prefers to stay outside with friends on weekends. 5. What is the main idea of the text? A. Different opinions on students’ family labor homework and its meaning. B. Useful ways for teenagers to learn cooking and cleaning skills. C. Polite expressions to make requests to family members. D. Good habits to build a clean and beautiful new house. Passage B 判断正 (T) 误 (F) 素材来源：《中学生双语拓展阅读》社区志愿话题 Many young volunteers in our community spend their free time helping the elderly who live alone. Every Sunday afternoon, groups of Grade Eight and Nine students visit the old people’s flats and do all kinds of housework for them. Last Sunday, I joined the volunteer team for the first time. Before we left, our community worker told us to speak politely when making requests. For example, if we wanted to move a heavy chair to another corner, we should say, “Could I move this chair for you?” instead of ordering directly. We split into small groups and visited three elderly families. My group went to Grandma Wang’s flat. First, we swept the floor and wiped the dusty windows. Then we helped her pack up scattered magazines and hang up her favorite old photos on the wall. Grandma Wang said she couldn’t carry heavy things because of her sore legs, so we also carried her flower pots to the sunny balcony and watered the plants for her. Halfway through the work, Grandma Wang wanted to make us sweet fruit tea. We stopped her politely and said, “Could you please sit down and rest? We can take good care of everything here.” She sat on the sofa and told us interesting stories about her young days. We listened carefully and shared our school life with her in return. When we planned to leave, Grandma Wang gave each of us a box of homemade biscuits. She said the flat felt much warmer after we cleaned and chatted with her. She hoped we could come over more often. I used to only do chores inside my own home. This volunteer activity taught me that warmth can spread beyond our own houses. Simple help and polite words can make every lonely old person feel at home. 1. The student volunteers visit the elderly every Saturday afternoon. 2. Volunteers need to use polite sentences when talking with the old people. 3. The writer’s group only cleaned windows for Grandma Wang that Sunday. 4. The volunteers refused Grandma Wang’s fruit tea to let her rest. 5. The volunteer activity made the writer understand warmth can go beyond one’s own home. Passage C 素材来源：《新课标中考时文精练》说明文（家的内涵主题） What makes a house become a real home? Many people only connect home with big rooms, beautiful furniture or delicious food. However, language experts and psychologists share the same opinion: the heart of home lies in small shared moments and willing help between family members. First, polite communication builds gentle family atmosphere. At home, we often need others’ help with daily chores. Instead of giving orders directly, using “Could you please…” or “Can I…” makes requests much softer. For example, if you want your brother to pass you the cleaning cloth, “Could you pass me the cloth?” sounds far warmer than “Give me the cloth right now.” Good communication avoids small arguments and keeps family peace. Second, shared housework creates sense of belonging. If all cleaning, cooking and tidying work falls on parents, teenagers will hardly feel connected to the house. When a student takes turns to take out rubbish, hang up clothes or water plants, he starts to take responsibility for the living space. He will care more about every small corner because he has put his own effort into it. Third, staying together and caring for each other carries the true meaning of home. On holidays, many families travel to far scenic spots, but some choose to stay at home. They clean the flat together, decorate walls with family photos and cook simple meals side by side. These quiet, slow moments leave deeper warm memories than any long-distance trip. A famous old saying goes, “East or west, home is best.” It does not praise big houses or expensive decorations. It praises the love, polite talk and shared labor inside every family. No matter how simple your flat is, as long as everyone treats each other gently and shares housework, it will be your sweetest home. 1. What do experts think is the core of a real home? A. Big bright rooms and expensive furniture. B. Delicious home-cooked food every day. C. Small warm shared moments and mutual help. D. Beautiful decorations on walls and balconies. 2. What is the advantage of using “Could you please…” to make requests? A. It helps students finish housework faster. B. It makes communication softer and avoids quarrels. C. It lets parents agree to all teenagers’ requirements. D. It teaches teenagers different kinds of housework skills. 3. Why does shared housework bring people a sense of belonging? A. Teenagers can get money as rewards from parents. B. Students can show off their cleaning skills to relatives. C. People will take responsibility and care more about their living space. D. Families can save money on hiring cleaning workers. 4. What kind of holiday moments leave deeper warm memories? A. Traveling to famous faraway mountains and beaches. B. Staying home to clean, decorate and cook together. C. Playing computer games alone in the bedroom all day. D. Visiting shopping malls and buying lots of new things. 5. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To explain what truly makes a house a sweet home. B. To teach teenagers all kinds of useful housework skills. C. To introduce polite English sentence structures for daily use. D. To compare traveling holidays and stay-at-home holidays. 三、六选五（共 5 空，每题 2 分，满分 10 分） 素材来源：单元话题原创议论文，贴合 can/could 请求许可核心语法 Home is the warmest place for every teenager, but many students don’t know how to make their home full of love. Here are three easy and practical suggestions. 1.____________Learn to use polite sentences when you need help or want permission. Many teenagers shout orders to their family members without thinking. If you want to use your father’s computer, don’t say “Give me your computer”. Try “Could I use your computer for thirty minutes to finish my report?” 2 .____________Soft polite words will make your family happy to give you a hand. Second, take the initiative to share housework without being reminded. You don’t have to finish all hard chores every day. Small acts matter a lot. After dinner, you can offer to wash dishes. When you see rubbish on the floor, sweep it up. If the balcony plants look dry, water them in your free time. 3 .____________When parents see you are willing to share their tiredness, they will feel your deep love. Third, spend more slow quiet time with your family on weekends. Nowadays, most teenagers lock themselves in bedrooms to play mobile games all weekend. They hardly talk with parents. Instead, you can invite your family to clean the flat together, hang up old family photos or cook simple snacks side by side. 4.____________ These simple activities build closer family ties and leave sweet memories. All in all, home warmth does not come from expensive things. It comes from polite talk, shared labor and company. 5 .____________Start with small changes today, and your house will turn into a much sweeter home. A. You can also ask politely if you need to borrow your brother’s stationery. B. First, master polite expressions for requests and permission. C. You can also pack up your own toys and books before going out. D. You will never feel lonely if you travel to different cities alone. E. Small warm acts are enough to make a big difference to your family. F. Communication and care are the most valuable treasure of every home. 四、语法填空（10 空，每题 1 分，满分 10 分） 核心考点：can/could、家务固定搭配、情态动词、非谓语动词、一般过去时、不定代词 Last Sunday, my cousin Lily came to stay at my new flat for two days.
