“Doesn’t it feel 5 all the time?” Tommy asked.
“Sure, but it’s fun! I 6 my room with my sisters. We’re always playing, singing, or dancing together. I think I’d be lonely without them,” Ruby said. “And my grandmother always tells us stories. She’s the best storyteller!” she said with 7 .

【导语】本文讲述了Tommy因父亲失业搬到奶奶家,起初不适应,后来受同学启发,发现与家人同住的美好故事。
1.句意:他父亲工作的商店停业了。
短语go out of business意为“停业”,是后文全家搬家的起因。business“生意”符合语境,date“日期”、control“控制”、danger“危险”均不符。
2.句意:这里有很多规矩,比如进屋不能穿鞋。
后文“like no shoes inside”属于居家要求、规定。rules“规矩”符合语境,choices“选择”、reasons“理由”、problems“难题”均不符。
3.句意:他在拥挤的公寓里待得越久,不开心的情绪就越强烈。
结合上下文,狭小拥挤的居住环境不断加剧他的负面情绪。increased“增长、加剧”符合语境,died“消失”、finished“结束”、returned“返回”均不符。
4.句意:她的公寓和奶奶的公寓大小一样,但同住的人更多。
文中对比两套公寓的空间条件,the same size表示“同等面积、一样大小”。size“尺寸,面积”符合语境,colour“颜色”、floor“楼层”、price“价格”均不符。
5.句意:一直住在这里,不会觉得拥挤吗?
前文多次提到公寓狭小、居住人口多,Tommy向Rubby发出疑问。crowded“拥挤的”符合语境,comfortable“舒适的”、strange“奇怪的”、unfair“不公平的”均不符。
6.句意:我和我的姐妹们共用一间房间。
固定搭配share sth. with sb.表示“和某人共用某物”。share“共享,共用”符合语境,paint“粉刷”、clean“打扫”、discuss“讨论”均不符。
7.句意:她骄傲地说着这句话。
Rubby十分喜爱和家人相伴的生活,夸赞奶奶是最会讲故事的人。with pride意为“自豪地”,pride“自豪”符合语境,courage“勇气”、surprise“惊讶”、anger“怒气”均不符。
8.句意:相反,他听奶奶讲述她第一次乘船的经历。
前一句表明他没有看喜爱的节目,后一句介绍他做出的新选择,存在行为对比关系。Instead“相反,取而代之”符合语境,Luckily“幸运地”、Finally“最终”、Anyway“无论如何”均不符。
9.句意:他也和Peter开心地玩耍。
Tommy心态发生转变,愿意和弟弟一同玩耍。had fun表示“玩得开心”符合语境,ended up“最终成为”、gave up“放弃”、had trouble“遇到困难”均不符。
10.句意:他体会到和家人同住的美好,意识到住在奶奶家并没有那么糟糕。
此处和开篇Tommy低落厌恶的心情形成呼应与反转。awful“糟糕的”符合语境,free“自由的”、helpful“有帮助的”、lonely“孤单的”均不符。
In children’s eyes, mother is perfect. In my mind, my mother is good at doing 1 but cooking. I still remember what happened 2 my father’s fortieth birthday.
My mother 3 the house in the morning. Then she went to the 4 to cook. Three hours later, only two dishes were on the table, a salad and a roast duck. But the duck didn’t 5 delicious. How disappointed (失望的) I felt! To 6 surprise, my father ate some pieces of the duck and 7 his head, “Good taste! It’s the best roast duck I have ever had!” Mother smiled 8 and said, “Happy birthday, my dear!”
Years passed (过去) and my father still loves the food my mother cooks, 9 she hasn’t become a really good cook all these years. As time goes by, I come to know that nobody is 10 , including (包括) my mother. But if there is love, home will become the sweetest (最甜蜜的) place.

【答案】

【导语】文章讲述作者母亲不擅长烹饪,但在父亲生日那天,父亲仍赞美她的厨艺。作者感悟到没人完美,但爱让家甜蜜。
1.句意:在我心里,妈妈擅长做除了做饭以外的一切事。
根据“but cooking”转折逻辑,以及后文点明妈妈不擅长做饭,此处表示“妈妈除了做饭,什么都擅长”,everything but...是固定用法,意为“除了……之外所有都”,因此填everything。
2.句意:我仍记得在我父亲四十岁生日那天发生的事。
根据“my father’s fortieth birthday.”可知,具体某一天,用on。
3.句意:妈妈早上打扫了房子。
根据“the house”及准备聚会语境,可知是打扫房子,cleaned up“打扫”符合语境。
4.句意:然后她去厨房做饭。
根据“to cook”,可知去厨房,kitchen“厨房”符合句意。
5.句意:但是鸭子尝起来不好吃。
根据“delicious”可知,此处形容味道,用taste“尝起来”。
6.句意:令我惊讶的是,父亲吃了几块。
根据固定搭配“To one’s surprise”及作者视角,my“我的”符合题意,to my surprise“令我惊讶的是”。
7.句意:点点头说,“好味道!”
根据“Good taste”赞许话语可知,表示认可的动作是点头,nodded“点头”符合语境。
8.句意:妈妈开心地笑了。
根据“Good taste! It’s the best roast duck I have ever had!”可知,得到爸爸的夸奖,妈妈开心地笑了,happily“开心地”符合描述。
9.句意:虽然她这些年没成为好厨师,父亲仍爱她做的饭。
父亲爱做饭与母亲厨艺不好构成让步,用although引导让步状语从句,符合逻辑。
10.句意:没人是完美的,包括我妈妈。
根据首段“mother is perfect”以及结尾作者感悟:此处表达没有人是完美的,perfect“完美的”符合文意。
My “perfect holiday”
As a boy, like all other boys, I wanted to be a man. But my parents did 1 for me and managed every minute of my life. Again and again, they told me to 2 the TV, do my homework, practise the piano. I felt a bit unhappy with them 3 they loved me. How I wished they would leave me 4 because I became so bored with their orders.
Well, my wish came true! My parents had to go away on business for some days though they worried about leaving me. What (a) 5 ! I could enjoy myself so freely. On the first day, after school, I ate many snacks, watched movies and played computer games until midnight.
The next morning, I got up late. I rushed to school without 6 but I was still late. I 7 forgot to finish my homework. That’s really a shame! I felt tired and sleepy with the empty stomach. When I got home, I tried to cook rice but burnt it. What’s worse, I 8 my father’s cup and it was broken! I began to 9 my parents. They made delicious food, reminded me of my homework and cheered me up when I was unhappy. Then I realized being home alone was not always as perfect as I imagined.
When my parents returned, they were happy to find that I could cook and tidy up now. I told them my “perfect holiday”, and we all 10 .
At that moment, I regretted talking back, not listening to them. Parents know best, and for me they wanted only the best!

【导语】本文讲述了一个男孩渴望独立,独自在家经历混乱后,体会到父母关爱的重要性,最终理解父母的故事。
1.句意:但是我的父母为我做了所有事情,并管理我生活的每一分钟。
根据“managed every minute of my life”(管理我生活的每一分钟),可知父母包办了一切,all things“所有事情”符合语境。
2.句意:他们一遍又一遍地告诉我关掉电视,做作业,练钢琴。
根据后文“do my homework, practise the piano”可知,父母要求停止娱乐去学习,turn off the TV“关掉电视”符合语境。
3.句意:虽然他们爱我,但我对他们感到有点不开心。
根据“unhappy”与“loved me”之间存在转折让步关系,可知应用although。
4.句意:我多么希望他们让我独自待着,因为我厌倦了他们的命令。
根据后文父母出差及“leave me...”可知,作者希望无人管束,leave sb alone 为固定搭配,意为“让某人独自待着”。
5.句意:多么好的机会啊!
根据父母出差,作者可以“enjoy myself so freely”,可知这对作者来说是一个难得的机会,chance符合语境。
6.句意:我没吃早饭就冲去学校,但还是迟到了。
根据“The next morning"及“rushed to school”可知,早晨匆忙通常指没时间吃早饭,breakfast符合语境。
7.句意:我甚至忘了完成作业。
根据“That’s really a shame”可知,忘作业是比迟到更糟糕的情况,用even 表示递进强调。
8.句意:更糟的是,我掉了父亲的杯子,它碎了!
根据“it was broken”及做饭场景,可知是不小心掉落导致破碎,dropped符合语境。
9.句意:我开始想念我的父母。
根据后文列举父母的好处及“being home alone was not always as perfect”,可知作者意识到父母的重要性,开始想念父母,miss符合语境。
10.句意:我告诉他们我的“完美假期”,我们都笑了。
根据故事结局温馨,且当作趣事讲述,可知大家一笑置之,laughed符合语境。
Want to manage kids’ screen time? Many parents have tried to find ways to 1 their kids’ screen time. A new study 2 that parents’ own screen use may influence their kids’ behaviour. When kids see their parents on screens, they probably 3 that behaviour. Even if parents think their kids aren’t paying attention, the study also shows that one big reason kids use screens is because of what their 4 do in front of them.
Parents are role models for their kids, “Our actions can speak so 5 that kids can’t hear what we say,” says Dr Ken Ginsburg.
What’s more, parents should 6 trying to control their kids too much, as it often backfires (产生事与愿违的不良后果). Ginsburg explains, “Kids see what we do and don’t like being controlled. If they feel we set rules just to 7 them, they’ll find ways to get around those rules. ”
In fact, having a family 8 to set screen time rules together can help. “One big myth (误区) is that kids don’t care about what their parents say. When we set rules, it’s 9 to explain why,” Ginsburg says. This conversation can result in agreements on certain 10 , such as “using one screen at a time” and “stopping screen use during meals, bedtime and study time”.

【导语】本文是一篇议论文,探讨父母使用电子产品屏幕对孩子的影响,指出父母是榜样,建议避免过度控制,通过家庭讨论共同制定规则,强调沟通的重要性。
1.句意:许多父母试图寻找方法来减少孩子的屏幕时间。
根据“manage kids’ screen time”及常识,父母管理屏幕时间通常是为了限制或减少使用。reduce意为“减少”,符合语境;increase(增加)与目的相反;record(记录)和check(检查)不符合“管理”的主要意图。
2.句意:一项新研究表明,父母自身的屏幕使用可能会影响孩子的行为。
根据主语“A new study”,研究通常用来展示或表明某种发现或成果。shows意为“表明”,常用于引出研究结果;proves(证明)语气过强;doubts(怀疑)和 lists(列出)不符合研究结论的语境。
3.句意:当孩子们看到父母使用屏幕时,他们可能会模仿这种行为。
根据上下文“父母自身的屏幕使用可能会影响孩子的行为”,孩子会学习父母的行为。copy意为“模仿”,符合语境;improve(改善)、change(改变)和 hide(隐藏)均无法体现孩子受父母影响的过程。
4.句意:这项研究还表明,即使父母认为自己的孩子没有留意,孩子使用屏幕的一大原因是因为父母在他们面前的行为。
根据全文主题“parents’ own screen use”,此处指父母的行为。parents意为“父母”,与文章核心对象一致;friends(朋友)、teachers(老师)和classmates(同学)均非本文讨论重点。
5.句意:身教重于言传,以至于孩子听不到我们说的话。
根据谚语含义“身教重于言传”,行动的影响力比语言大。loudly意为“大声地”,此处为比喻用法,强调行动胜过语言;clearly(清楚地)、quietly(安静地)和slowly(慢慢地)不符合该固定表达的逻辑。
6.句意:此外,父母应避免试图过度控制孩子,因为这往往适得其反。
根据后文“it often backfires”(往往适得其反),可知这是负面结果,故应不做此事。avoid意为“避免”,符合逻辑;mind(介意)、regret(后悔)和prefer(更喜欢)均不符合建议的语境。
7.句意:如果他们觉得我们制定规则只是为了限制他们,他们会想办法绕过规则。
根据前文“don't like being controlled”,孩子反感被控制。limit意为“限制”,与control含义相近,符合孩子对规则的负面看法;help(帮助)、protect(保护)和train(训练)均为正面词汇,不符合此处语境。
8.句意:事实上,进行家庭讨论一起制定屏幕时间规则会有帮助。
根据后文“This conversation”,此处指家庭成员间的交流。discussion意为“讨论”,与 conversation 呼应;survey(调查)、party(聚会)和project(项目)均不符合“制定规则”的协作过程。
9.句意:当我们制定规则时,解释原因是必要的。
根据上下文,为了让孩子接受规则,有必要向他们解释原因。necessary意为“必要的”,符合语境;difficult(困难的)、fair(公平的)和unusual(不寻常的)均无法体现解释原因的重要性。
10.句意:这种对话可以促成关于某些规则的共识,比如“一次只用一个电子屏幕”以及“在吃饭、睡觉和学习时间停止使用电子设备”。
根据前文“set screen time rules together”,此处指达成的具体规定。rules意为“规则”,与全文主题一致;ways(方法)、fields(领域)和standards(标准)均不如 rules 准确对应前文内容。
阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳答案。
When I was growing up, we didn’t have much money. Although my dad had a good job, there were nine of us living in a small house! We 1 went out for dinner. If we did anything 2 , it was to go for a picnic.
My friend Kenny was not like me at all. He had everything he wanted, but his parents were always busy working. I didn’t 3 that until one October. I said to Kenny, “This Thursday, we’re going to have a big Thanksgiving dinner. What about you? You will 4 go to a fine restaurant or fly somewhere, right?” A strange look came over Kenny’s face and 5 said, “Sure. We’re going to have a great time.”
That Thursday, as we were about to eat, the 6 rang. It was Kenny.
“Hello, Kenny,” my mother said and let him in.
“I…uh…” stammered (结巴着说) Kenny.
My dad jumped up from the table right away and 7 Kenny beside me. It turned out that Kenny’s parents were both out of town on business, so he felt lonely.
From then on, Kenny stayed with us many times. My parents never 8 Kenny’s parents’ money when they offered. “Let’s all be thankful for 9 we have. Remember that Thanksgiving is all about 10 ,” my dad said at the Thanksgiving dinner table.
1.A.always B.often C.sometimes D.never
2.A.boring B.special C.important D.difficult
3.A.realize B.forget C.invent D.manage
4.A.really B.finally C.probably D.gradually
5.A.she B.he C.you D.we
6.A.doorbell B.alarm C.telephone D.music

【答案】
1.D 2.B 3.A 4.C 5.B 6.A 7.D 8.A 9.C 10.B
【导语】本文讲述了作者家境不富裕,很少外出就餐。朋友Kenny家境好但父母忙。感恩节那天Kenny独自在家,作者一家接纳了他,从此Kenny多次来访,作者父母从不接受Kenny父母的钱,强调感恩节的意义在于给予。
1.句意:我们从不去外面吃饭。
前文提到家里九口人、经济不宽裕,因此“从不”下馆子符合逻辑。always“总是”,often“经常”,sometimes“有时”,均与贫穷家境矛盾。
2.句意:如果我们做了什么特别的事,那就是去野餐。
special表示“特别的”,与后文“去野餐”这种简单活动形成对比。boring“无聊的”,important“重要的”,difficult“困难的”,均不能准确表达“不同寻常”的含义。
3.句意:直到那年十月我才意识到这一点。
realize表示“意识到”,指作者之前没注意到Kenny父母总在忙。forget“忘记”,invent“发明”,manage“设法”,均不符合认知变化的过程。
4.句意:你可能会去一家好餐厅或者飞到哪里去,对吧?
probably表示“很可能”,是作者根据Kenny家境做的推测。really“真正地”,finally“最终”,gradually“逐渐地”,均不符合推测语气。
5.句意:一个奇怪的表情出现在Kenny脸上,他说:“当然。我们会玩得很开心的。”
根据前文主语Kenny,此处应用he指代。she“她”,you“你”,we“我们”,均指代错误。
6.句意:那个星期四,我们正要吃饭时,门铃响了。
根据后文“my mother said and let him in”可知是门铃,应填doorbell。alarm“警报”,telephone“电话”,music“音乐”,均不符合“让他进来”的动作。
7.句意:爸爸立刻从桌边跳起来,让Kenny坐在我旁边。
seated表示“使坐下”,符合热情招待客人的动作。waited“等待”,shouted“喊叫”,stopped“停止”,均不符合安排座位的语境。
8.句意:当Kenny父母提出给钱时,我的父母从不接受。
accepted表示“接受”,与后文“让我们感恩我们所拥有的”呼应,体现不图钱财的态度。counted“数数”,borrowed“借”,exchanged“交换”,均不符合语境。
9.句意:让我们为我们所拥有的一切感恩。
what we have表示“我们所拥有的东西”,what作have的宾语。why“为什么”,when“什么时候”,where“哪里”,均不能作宾语。
10.句意:记住,感恩节全在于给予。
giving表示“给予”,与父亲不接爱受钱财、热情待人的行为一致,点明主题。performing“表演”,winning“赢”,receiving“接收”,均不符合感恩节分享与付出的精神。
阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳答案。
My parents took me to visit my aunt’s family in the mountains. On the way, I made a list of things to do with my cousin Sam. When we arrived, I went to ask Sam if 1 wanted to check out the lake with me.
“Nah, I have something more 2 for us to do!” Sam turned on his computer and said, “I got the best new computer game. You can learn all the interesting facts about bats in the game.”
“But it’s not 3 on my to-do list. I made a list of outside activities to do this week.”
“Oh, that’s cool,” Sam said. “You go ahead and do your thing, and I’ll just restart the 4 myself.”
I realized my plan wasn’t going to 5 . Just then, Kate, Sam’s sister, came up and asked me to play soccer with her. I gave the ball a hard kick. It went flying down the hill, so we 6 after it.
Suddenly, at a crack (裂缝) in a great big rock, we 7 two fuzzy (毛茸茸的) little bats, as sweet as they could be! It felt like we’d found the most magical treasure— 8 better than anything on my list.
We told Sam 9 we found, and he was also excited. And later, we all looked up facts about bats on Sam’s computer.
Life almost never goes exactly the way you 10 , but if you stay open-minded, something better can pop up out of nowhere and totally make your day.

【导语】本文讲述了作者去山里拜访亲戚时,原定和表哥Sam一起完成清单上的户外活动,Sam更想玩电脑游戏,作者转而和Sam的妹妹踢足球,意外在户外发现了野生小蝙蝠,收获了比原定计划更棒的体验,告诉我们生活几乎从不会完全按计划走,保持开放的心态,往往会收获意想不到的惊喜。
1.句意:我们到达后,我去找Sam,问他要不要和我一起去湖边逛一逛。
空白处指代前文提到的堂兄Sam(男性),作从句主语,用he。
2.句意:“不去啦,我有更有意思的事儿等我们去做!”
Sam推荐新电脑游戏,认为它比去湖边更有趣,fun(有趣的)符合语境。
3.句意:“但这不完全在我的待办清单上,我列了这一周要做的户外活动。”
作者说玩电脑游戏并不正好在自己列的户外活动清单上,exactly(恰好,完全)符合句意。
4.句意:“你去做你的事吧,我自己重开游戏玩就好。”
前文提到“I got the best new computer game.”,Sam得到了新的电脑游戏,此处指他自己重新启动游戏,选game。
5.句意:我意识到我的原计划没法实现了。
前文提到“You go ahead and do your thing…”,Sam不愿意和作者去湖边,作者意识到自己原本的计划不会实现了,happen(发生)符合语境。
6.句意:球滚着掉下了山,于是我们赶紧追着球跑。
“It went flying down the hill”,球被踢飞滚下山,作者和Kate要追着球跑,race after表示“全速追赶”,符合语境。
7.句意:突然,在一块大石头的裂缝处,我们看见了两只毛茸茸的小蝙蝠,可爱极了!
此处指两人在岩石裂缝处看到了两只小蝙蝠,saw(看见)符合句意。
8.句意:那种感觉就像我们找到了最神奇的宝藏——甚至比我清单上的任何事都要棒。
此处表递进,这个意外发现甚至比作者清单上所有安排都好,even修饰比较级better,表示“甚至”,符合语境。
9.句意:我们告诉了萨姆我们的发现,他也很兴奋。
此处“…we found”是宾语从句,指“我们发现的事物”,从句中缺found的宾语,用what引导。
10.句意:生活几乎从来不会完全按你计划的那样发展,但如果你保持开放心态,更棒的事物会凭空出现,让你一整天都心情愉悦。
文章开头作者就提到了自己提前列好的计划,此处点明主旨:生活从来不会完全按你计划的那样发展,plan(计划)符合语境。
“Peter! Pick up your toys!” says his mum for the fifth time. Peter is 1 a video game. It is really exciting, so he’s busy with it and doesn’t listen to his 2 at all.
“Please, Peter, I don’t want to say that again. Dinner is almost ready. It’s time to wash your 3 .” Peter has to stop playing.
After dinner, Mum asks Peter to help clear the table, but he runs back to his game. Mum is 4 , but just shakes her head.

【导语】本文主要讲述了Peter沉迷游戏、无视妈妈的要求,在做了一个被独眼船长支配的噩梦后,幡然醒悟,决定帮妈妈分担家务的故事。
1.句意:Peter正在玩电子游戏。

There were two brothers named Jamie and Jack who lived happily next door to each other on their farms for 20 years. One day, the two brothers had a fight over a small misunderstanding, which quickly turned into a 2 problem. They 3 working together and began using bad words towards each other. This led to complete 4 between them, and neither spoke to the other again.
After a week, someone knocked on Jamie’s door. When he opened it, he found a man with a carpenter’s (木匠的) toolbox. The man said, “I’m 5 some work. Do you have any small jobs I can help with?” “Yes, I have a job for you.” Jamie pointed to a wide ditch (沟渠) on the farm and said, “Last week, my brother dug it to 6 our farms. I want you to build a tall fence (围栏) there, so I don’t have to see my brother anymore.”
The carpenter agreed. Jamie then left for town to do some shopping. To his surprise, when he 7 , he didn’t see the fence he had requested; instead, he saw a beautiful bridge across the ditch.
As he was about to ask the carpenter why he did so, Jack walked across the bridge with tears in his eyes. “I’m so sorry, Jamie. After everything I’ve said and done, you still built this 8 to fix things between us,” Jack said. “You’re the best brother ever.” He then gave Jamie a warm hug.

【导语】本文主要讲述了杰米和杰克两兄弟因误会产生隔阂,木匠以桥代墙,巧妙化解了双方矛盾,旨在传达沟通与和解在人际关系中的重要价值。
1.句意:这最终可能会伤害感情,有时,你可能会觉得最简单的方法就是在你和对方之间筑起一堵墙。
根据前文提到“hurting feelings”以及这种行为是为了逃避或隔绝,筑“墙”符合这种心理防御逻辑。应选用wall表示“墙”。
2.句意:一天,兄弟俩因为一个小误解吵架,这很快变成了更大的问题。
根据空前“small misunderstanding”的对比提示,此处应选bigger表示“更大的”,体现矛盾的激化。
3.句意:他们停止一起工作,开始互相说脏话。
根据后文“neither spoke to the other again”可知,两兄弟关系破裂,不再合作。应选用stopped表示“停止”。

根据“he found a man with a carpenter’s (木匠的) toolbox”可知,木匠带着工具箱是为了讨生计。故选用searching for表示“寻找”。
6.句意:“是的,我有活给你。”杰米指着农场里的一条宽沟渠说:“上周我哥哥挖了它来分开我们的农场。我想让你在那里建一道高围栏,这样我就不用再见到我哥哥了。”
根据前文“Jamie pointed to a wide ditch (沟渠) on the farm”及不想再见到哥哥的描述,挖沟是为了让两处农场分离。故选用separate表示“分隔/使分离”。
7.句意:令他惊讶的是,当他回来时,没看到他要求的围栏;相反,他看到沟渠上有一座漂亮的桥。
根据前文“Jamie then left for town to do some shopping.”可知,他在购物之后回到了农场。故选用returned表示“回来”。
8.句意:“我很抱歉,杰米。在我说了和做了那些事之后,你还建这座桥来修复我们之间的关系,”杰克说。
根据“he saw a beautiful bridge across the ditch”以及杰克正走在上面的描写。故选用bridge表示“桥”。
9.句意:在那一刻,兄弟俩真正意识到彼此对对方有多重要。
此处需用副词修饰动词“realized”,强调这种感悟的深刻性。应选用truly表示“真正地”。
10.句意:这座桥不仅仅是过沟渠的路——它是他们重建关系和友谊的象征。
根据空前并列连词“and”连接的“renewed relation”可知,此处需填入一个褒义词。桥是“重建关系和友谊”的象征,选用friendship表示“友谊”符合故事主题。
◇考点 02 重难语篇提升练
Taylor opened her sleepy eyes and looked out the window at the foggy field below. “NO!” she cried, now fully 1 . Buttermilk the cow was in Mama’s daisy patch (雏菊地). Mama was planning to sell daisy bouquets (花束) at the fair next week. But Buttermilk was eating the flowers.
Taylor 2 outside. When I grow up, I’ll be an artist and paint pictures all day, Taylor thought. I’ll never own a cow. Too much 3 .
Just as Taylor was about to snap the lead rope onto Buttermilk’s collar (颈圈), the family dog, Red, rounded the corner of the house. The cow couldn’t stand Red.
Buttermilk took off, tearing through the daisies and across the yard. She finally ran through the open gate and into the field.
“Thank goodness.” Taylor said as she closed the gate.
She turned to look at the flower garden. Most of the daisies were either 4 or trampled (践踏).
Mama came out of the house. “What’s going on?” she asked. She looked 5 at her garden.
“I forgot to 6 the gate,” Taylor said. “I’m so sorry.”
“I know you are.” Mama sighed and gave Taylor a hug. “You learned an important lesson today.”
Taylor’s heart was 7 as she went back into the house. She had to think of a way to make it up to her mother.
A painting on the wall caught Taylor’s eye. “That’s it,” she whispered.
The morning of the fair, Dad loaded daisy bouquets into the van. “That’s half the number I usually have, but it’s 8 worth taking them,” Mama said.
“Mama,” said Taylor, “I have a surprise for you upstairs.”
Mama smiled. “Really? Let’s see it.” When they reached Taylor’s bedroom, Taylor opened the door. Daisy 9 were everywhere, bright and cheerful in the morning light.
“Wow,” said Mama.
“Do you think anyone will 10 them?” Taylor asked.
Mama smiled. “Oh, sweetie, yes, I’m sure they will.”

4.句意:大多数雏菊要么被吃掉,要么被践踏了。

10.句意:“你觉得会有人买它们吗?”泰勒问道。

Want to manage kids’ screen time? Many parents have tried to find ways to 1 their kids’ screen time. A new study 2 that parents’ own screen use may influence their kids’ behaviour. When kids see their parents on screens, they probably 3 that behaviour. Even if parents think their kids aren’t paying attention, the study also shows that one big reason kids use screens is because of what their 4 do in front of them.
Parents are role models for their kids, “Our actions can speak so 5 that kids can’t hear what we say,” says Dr Ken Ginsburg.
What’s more, parents should 6 trying to control their kids too much, as it often backfires (产生事与愿违的不良后果). Ginsburg explains, “Kids see what we do and don’t like being controlled. If they feel we set rules just to 7 them, they’ll find ways to get around those rules. ”
In fact, having a family 8 to set screen time rules together can help. “One big myth (误区) is that kids don’t care about what their parents say. When we set rules, it’s 9 to explain why,” Ginsburg says. This conversation can result in agreements on certain 10 , such as “using one screen at a time” and “stopping screen use during meals, bedtime and study time”.

“But it’s not 3 on my to-do list. I made a list of outside activities to do this week.”
