Some say they are too busy with their work. Yet studies show that the family dinner hour is 1 important part of healthy living. When families have dinner together, they will eat more vegetables and fruit. I realize this truth based 2 my father’s experience. He once felt lonely and often ate junk food alone after my mother passed 3 . That led to an 4 (ill) in his stomach. Sometimes he even felt 5 (sleep) most of the time. The 6 (bad) part was that he was unhappy all day. I decided 7 (change) that. 8 every weekend I take my kids to have a family dinner with my father. Last weekend, we 9 (buy) some food and went to my father’s house as usual. My father talked with the kids 10 (happy). I cooked food in the kitchen. I knew this small change made a big 11 (different). That’s the real 12 (mean) of family dinners. Family dinners are more than just 13 (meal). They are time to share stories and warm each other’s hearts.

They 1 from generation to generation and keep family members connected. Long ago, our ancestors created many meaningful customs. People would 2 together to hold small ceremonies to remember their ancestors. They would prepare big feasts and 3 houses with festive things. These habits were slowly passed down to later 4 . Now many young people live far away from home, but they still try their best to go back for family 5 . Traditions build strong emotional 6 .

We rented a small wooden house just a few steps from the sandy beach. The weather was perfect—sunny but not too hot, with a gentle breeze. Each morning, I woke up early to watch the sunrise over the ocean. During the day, I swam in the crystal-clear water and built sandcastles with my little sister. My father, an enthusiastic fisherman, spent hours on the rocks trying to catch dinner. My mother, who is usually busy with work, finally had time to relax with a good book under a large umbrella. In the evenings, we walked along the shore, collecting seashells and watching the sky turn orange and pink. Looking back, that week was one of the most peaceful and memorable times we have ever shared as a family. It reminded us that sometimes the best experiences don’t cost much—they just require time together. 1．Why did the family choose to go to the seaside? A．To visit a famous landmark. B．To escape their busy city life. C．To learn how to fish. D．To meet new friends. 2．What does the word “enthusiastic” tell us about the writer’s father? A．He doesn’t really like fishing. B．He is very passionate about fishing. C．He is a professional fisherman. D．He only fishes for fun occasionally. 3．What can we infer about the mother’s usual life? A．She often goes on holiday. B．She is usually very busy with work. C．She doesn’t like reading. D．She prefers city life. 4．What made the holiday “memorable” according to the writer? A．The expensive hotel. B．The delicious seafood. C．The time spent together as a family. D．The exciting water sports. 5．What is the main message the writer wants to convey? A．Beach holidays are always the best. B．Fishing is a great hobby. C．Family time and simple pleasures are valuable. D．Traveling abroad is important. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．B 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文讲述了去年夏天，作者一家到海边度假一周，住在小木屋里。每天看日出、游泳、堆沙堡，父亲钓鱼，母亲读书，傍晚散步拾贝。这段温馨时光让他们体会到陪伴比物质更珍贵。 【详解】 1．第一段第一句“Last summer, my family decided to take a break from our busy city life and spend a week at the seaside.”表明，一家人去海边是为了从忙碌的城市生活中休息一下，即逃离忙碌的城市生活。 2．第二段中的句子“My father, an enthusiastic fisherman, spent hours on the rocks...”表明，父亲花几个小时在岩石上钓鱼，说明他对钓鱼非常热衷，“enthusiastic”意为“热情的”，与“passionate”意思相近。 3．第二段中的句子“My mother, who is usually busy with work, finally had time to relax...”表明，母亲平时通常忙于工作，这次才有时间放松。 4．全文最后一句“It reminded us that sometimes the best experiences don’t cost much—they just require time together.”表明，让假期难忘的是家人共度的时光，而不是昂贵的酒店或海鲜。 5．文章通过描述一次简单而温馨的海边家庭旅行，并在结尾点题，传达了家庭相聚时光和简单快乐才是珍贵的这一主旨，而非强调钓鱼或出国旅行。 B Rita was in a shopping mall, looking for a gift for her little daughter. Suddenly she stopped before a store, inside which were all kinds of dolls. “Why not buy a lovely doll? Girls like dolls,” she thought as she stepped into the store. Looking around, she saw a grandma doll—one with gray hair and a pair of glasses. As she gazed at it, in her mind somehow appeared Linda, her mother. When Rita was a little girl, she got her first doll from Linda for her birthday. She was very happy. Then the second, the third…Rita began to feel puzzled. When she asked her mum the reason, the answer was always “A girl can never have enough dolls.” Year after year, Rita grew up and Linda aged, but a doll a year from Linda never arrived late. “But why always a doll?” This question had been in Rita’s mind until one day her father gave the answer. Little Linda dreamed of having a doll. Her parents promised one for her fifth birthday. Sadly, they both died in a traffic accident before it arrived. The never-received gift was the most precious in her eyes. That’s why she thought dolls were the best birthday gifts for Rita. Her mother’s story being recalled, Rita got an idea. It was Linda’s sixtieth birthday. The whole family gathered around the sixty­year­old lady when the doorbell rang. Much to Linda’s surprise, a package was delivered to her, with a card reading: Dear Linda, I forgot to send you the package that you should have received on 20 May, 1956, your fifth birthday. The gift inside has aged, but I felt that you might still wish to have it. Sorry for the lateness! Love, Angel of Joy Linda opened the package and saw a lovely grandma doll. She clasped the doll that she had waited so many years to receive, tears coursing down her face. The doll, given by “Angel of Joy”, made her the happiest “child” alive. 根据语篇内容选择最佳答案。 1．Who is Linda in the story? A．Rita’s daughter. B．Rita’s mother. C．The grandma doll. D．Angel of Joy. 2．Why did Linda think that dolls were the best birthday gifts for Rita? A．Rita dreamed of having all kinds of lovely dolls. B．Rita looked like a doll when she was a little girl. C．Linda received a lot of lovely dolls from her parents. D．Linda had never got the dream doll from her parents. 3．What does the underlined word “clasped” probably mean in the passage? A．Held. B．Threw. C．Made. D．Bought. 4．Linda’s parents died ________. A．at the age of five B．on her fifth birthday C．before her fifth birthday D．after her fifth birthday 5．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．The story of an angel B．Linda’s birthday C．A late birthday gift D．Linda, the happiest child 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了Rita得知母亲Linda小时候因父母去世而未收到生日娃娃的故事，于是在Linda六十岁生日时，以“快乐天使”的名义送给了她一份迟到了55年的生日礼物。 【详解】 1．根据文章第三段“As she gazed at it, in her mind somehow appeared Linda, her mother.”可知，Linda是Rita的母亲。 2．根据文章第六段“Little Linda dreamed of having a doll. Her parents promised one for her fifth birthday. Sadly, they both died... before it arrived. The never-received gift was the most precious in her eyes.”可知，因为Linda小时候从未得到过父母承诺的娃娃，所以认为娃娃是最好的礼物。 3．根据文章最后一段“She clasped the doll that she had waited so many years to receive, tears coursing down her face.”，结合语境Linda收到梦寐以求的礼物且感动流泪，动作应该是紧紧“抱住”或“拿着”，A项Held“拿着/抱住”符合语境。 4．根据文章第六段“Her parents promised one for her fifth birthday. Sadly, they both died in a traffic accident before it arrived.”可知，父母去世是在她五岁生日礼物送到之前，即五岁生日之前。 5．文章主要讲述了Rita得知母亲Linda小时候因父母去世而未收到生日娃娃的故事，于是在Linda 六十岁生日时，以“快乐天使”的名义送给了她一份迟到了55年的生日礼物，全文围绕这份“迟到的生日礼物”展开。 C Peter White said to his wife, “I miss my family. I want to invite them for dinner. Please prepare some nice food tomorrow.” Mrs White didn’t want to do it. But she thought for some time and agreed. So, Mr White made the invitation calls. The next evening, Mr White came back from work and asked Mrs White, “Is dinner ready?” “I didn’t cook anything special because your family are not strangers. They can eat what we usually eat,” said Mrs White. Mr White asked angrily, “Why didn’t you tell me yesterday? It’ll be too late to buy some now.” Mrs White said, “Just call them and tell them what they’ll eat. After all, they are not strangers.” Mr White left the house unhappily. Later, there was a knock on the door. Mrs White opened the door and was surprised to see her sisters and parents. Her father asked her, “Where is Peter?” She answered, “He left just now.” Her father said, “How come? Yesterday, he invited us for dinner.” Hearing it, Mrs White couldn’t say anything. She thought the food she cooked was not good for her family. She called Mr White and asked, “Why didn’t you tell me that you invited my family?” Mr White said, “I used to think there’s no difference between my family and yours.” 根据语篇内容选择最佳答案。 1．Which two people are the “strangers” below? A．Jack and Mary are in the same club. B．Lucy and Bob meet at school for the first time. C．Peter and John always play basketball together. D．Lily and Tom go to school together every day. 2．Why didn’t Mrs White prepare the meal well? A．She forgot about it. B．She had no money to buy food. C．She didn’t think it was necessary to prepare nice food for Mr White’s family. D．She was lazy. 3．Which is the right order of Mrs White’s feelings in the story? ①unhappy        ②surprised ③comfortable        ④regretful A．①→②→④ B．②→③→④ C．④→①→② D．③→①→④ 4．What do Mr White’s last words mean? A．He disliked Mrs White’s family. B．He thought his family was similar to Mrs White’s. C．He treated Mrs White’s family as his own family. D．He treated Mrs White’s family indifferently. 5．Which is the best title for the story? A．A selfish (自私的) family B．Surprising guests to a dinner C．A very understanding daughter D．A happy dinner 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了Mr White邀请妻子家人吃饭却未告知妻子，妻子误以为来的是丈夫家人而只做了家常便饭，最终发现真相后懊悔不已。 【详解】 1．文中第二段Mrs White说“your family are not strangers”（你的家人不是陌生人），意思是“不用特别准备，因为大家都认识”，说明文章中的“strangers”指彼此不熟悉、不认识的人。A项“同一俱乐部”说明认识；C项“总一起打篮球”说明熟悉；D项“每天一起上学”说明熟悉。B项“第一次在学校见面” 说明两人互不认识，符合“strangers”的定义。 2．文中第二段Mrs White说“I didn’t cook anything special because your family are not strangers. They can eat what we usually eat.”（我没做特别的菜，因为你家人不是陌生人，他们可以吃我们平常吃的。）  这说明她认为没必要为丈夫的家人特意准备。 3．文中开头Mrs White不想做饭，但勉强同意，心里不乐意，所以是unhappy。听到敲门声，开门看到自己的父母和姐妹是很惊讶的。得知丈夫邀请的是自己的家人，而自己只做了普通饭菜，感到懊悔，所以最后是regretful。顺序①→②→④，对应选项A。 4．文中最后一句“I used to think there’s no difference between my family and yours.”（我过去一直认为你的家人和我的家人没有区别。） 他认为自己家人和妻子的家人并无差别，意思是把妻子的亲人当成自己家人一样看待。 5．故事的核心转折是：Mrs White以为来的是丈夫的家人（所以没好好准备），结果来的却是自己的家人（让她惊讶）。“让人惊讶的晚餐客人”准确概括了情节冲突。 五、选词填空 阅读短文，从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空，使短文通顺，意思完整，每空限填一词，每词限用一次。      talk   so   become   her   translate   mistake   a   than   make   speak In many ways, my interest in language learning began with my grandmother. She moved from Switzerland to England when she was young and I was always amazed that she 1 English to me, Italian to my grandfather and French or German on the phone to her relatives and friends back home. I always imagined she could be a 2 of books, or even a tour guide. What’s more, she didn’t learn English at school, but picked it up by 3 when she came to England. As for me, although I can speak a bit of Italian and German from listening to her, I only know a little grammar and sometimes get confused, 4 it’s hard for me to understand how someone can speak several languages so well. I’d love to know how my grandmother does it! English has 5 an international language and more and more people in the world speak English. I hardly use other languages in my own job. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want to learn other languages. In my eyes, being able to ask for 6 meal in a restaurant on holiday in a non-English speaking country would be great. Most important of all, it would be nice to talk with people from around the world-it would be easier to 7 new friends if I spoke their language. In fact, language learning is easier now 8 ever. New technology is the reason. For example, recording your voices helps you see how well you’re doing and helps you continue to improve. There are apps to help you learn new words. However, I still think going to class improves conversation skills and helps you deal quickly with 9 . So it’s better to combine (结合) methods. Or you can just spend a little time 10 to my grandmother! 【答案】 1．spoke 2．translator 3．herself 4．so 5．become 6．a 7．make 8．than 9．mistakes 10．talking 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述作者受祖母影响对语言学习产生兴趣，介绍如今语言学习的多种途径，提倡多种学习方式相结合。 【详解】 1．句意：她年轻时从瑞士搬到英国，我一直很惊讶她能对我说英语，对爷爷说意大利语，而给家乡的亲戚朋友打电话时却用法语或德语。that从句描述祖母过去的行为，时态为一般过去时；speak+语言表示“说某种语言”，speak的过去式为spoke。 2．句意：我总是想象她可以成为一名书籍翻译者，甚至是一名导游。空格前有不定冠词a，后面需要接单数可数名词；结合“of books, or even a tour guide”可知，此处需要表职业的名词，translate动词“翻译”变为职业名词translator“翻译者”。 3．句意：而且，她并不是在学校学的英语，而是来到英国之后自学学会的。“by oneself”为固定搭配，表示“独自、自学”，主语为she，her要变为反身代词herself。方框其他词汇无法构成by+…表达自学含义。 4．句意：至于我，虽然听她说话我会一点意大利语和德语，但我只懂少量语法，有时还会困惑，所以我很难理解有人可以说好几种语言。空格前后分句为因果关系，前因后果，需要连词so表“所以”。 5．句意：英语已经成为一门国际语言，世界上越来越多的人讲英语。本句为现在完成时，结构“has+过去分词”，需用become的过去分词become，“become an international language”表示成为一门国际语言。 6．句意：在我眼里，在一个不讲英语的国家度假，能在餐馆点一份餐就很棒。“... meal”中meal为单数可数名词，此处表泛指一份，需用不定冠词a。 7．句意：最重要的是，能和世界各地的人们交谈会很不错，如果我说他们的语言，结交新朋友会更加容易。“to ____ new friends”，make new friends为固定短语“结交朋友”，to后接动词原形，需用make。 8．句意：事实上，如今学习语言比以往更加容易。easier是形容词比较级，比较级句式后面需用than引出对比对象。 9．句意：然而，我依旧认为上课可以提升会话能力，帮你快速应对错误。“deal with...”后接名词作宾语，mistake为可数名词，此处表泛指各类错误，需变为复数mistakes。 10．句意：或者你可以花点时间和我的祖母聊一聊！“spend a little time ...to my grandmother!”，spend time doing sth.“花时间做某事”，此处指和我的祖母谈谈，需把talk变为动名词talking。 1 / 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 3 Family ties 课时1 Starting out&阅读词汇 分层作业 A组 巩固过关 C组 思维拔高 B组 能力进阶 词汇 1. ________ adj. 不作声的 2. ________ prep. 顺着，沿着 3. ________ n. 高山，山岳 4. ________ n. 路，道路，公路 5. ________ adj.（男子）英俊的，漂亮的 6. ________ adj. 严格的，严厉的 7. ________ v. 跟着，跟随 8. ________ n. 邮递员，邮差 9. ________ adj. 感人的，动人的 10. ________ n. 儿子 11. ________ v. 为……工作；供职 12. ________ n.（国家，市镇等的）地区，区域 13. ________ adj. 不在的，缺席的 14. ________ adv. 很少，罕见，不常 15. ________ n. 职位，职务 16. ________ v. 把...带至... 17. ________ prep. 从一边到另一边；穿过 18. ________ n. 记忆，回忆 19. ________ n. 眼泪，泪水 20. ________ n.发展，成长 21. ________ v. 把……藏起来，隐藏 22. ________ n. 关心 23. ________ n. 拥抱 24. ________ n. 吻 句型 1. ________ ________ your family ________ ?你的家庭是什么样的？ 2. What is ________ ________ doing in the pictures?图片里每个家庭正在做什么？ 3. ________ ________ do you usually do with your family members?你通常和家人一起做什么活动？ 4. ________ ________ each person in your family ________ ?你家里每个人都是做什么的？ 5. What do you think the word "family"________ ________ ? 你认为“家庭”这个单词代表什么？ 一、根据句意及汉语提示填写单词 1.

We rented a small wooden house just a few steps from the sandy beach. The weather was perfect—sunny but not too hot, with a gentle breeze. Each morning, I woke up early to watch the sunrise over the ocean. During the day, I swam in the crystal-clear water and built sandcastles with my little sister. My father, an enthusiastic fisherman, spent hours on the rocks trying to catch dinner. My mother, who is usually busy with work, finally had time to relax with a good book under a large umbrella. In the evenings, we walked along the shore, collecting seashells and watching the sky turn orange and pink. Looking back, that week was one of the most peaceful and memorable times we have ever shared as a family. It reminded us that sometimes the best experiences don’t cost much—they just require time together. 1．Why did the family choose to go to the seaside? A．To visit a famous landmark.

C．Family time and simple pleasures are valuable. D．Traveling abroad is important. B Rita was in a shopping mall, looking for a gift for her little daughter. Suddenly she stopped before a store, inside which were all kinds of dolls. “Why not buy a lovely doll? Girls like dolls,” she thought as she stepped into the store. Looking around, she saw a grandma doll—one with gray hair and a pair of glasses. As she gazed at it, in her mind somehow appeared Linda, her mother. When Rita was a little girl, she got her first doll from Linda for her birthday. She was very happy. Then the second, the third…Rita began to feel puzzled. When she asked her mum the reason, the answer was always “A girl can never have enough dolls.” Year after year, Rita grew up and Linda aged, but a doll a year from Linda never arrived late. “But why always a doll?” This question had been in Rita’s mind until one day her father gave the answer. Little Linda dreamed of having a doll. Her parents promised one for her fifth birthday. Sadly, they both died in a traffic accident before it arrived. The never-received gift was the most precious in her eyes. That’s why she thought dolls were the best birthday gifts for Rita. Her mother’s story being recalled, Rita got an idea. It was Linda’s sixtieth birthday. The whole family gathered around the sixty­year­old lady when the doorbell rang. Much to Linda’s surprise, a package was delivered to her, with a card reading: Dear Linda, I forgot to send you the package that you should have received on 20 May, 1956, your fifth birthday. The gift inside has aged, but I felt that you might still wish to have it. Sorry for the lateness! Love, Angel of Joy Linda opened the package and saw a lovely grandma doll. She clasped the doll that she had waited so many years to receive, tears coursing down her face. The doll, given by “Angel of Joy”, made her the happiest “child” alive. 根据语篇内容选择最佳答案。 1．Who is Linda in the story? A．Rita’s daughter. B．Rita’s mother. C．The grandma doll. D．Angel of Joy. 2．Why did Linda think that dolls were the best birthday gifts for Rita? A．Rita dreamed of having all kinds of lovely dolls. B．Rita looked like a doll when she was a little girl. C．Linda received a lot of lovely dolls from her parents. D．Linda had never got the dream doll from her parents. 3．What does the underlined word “clasped” probably mean in the passage? A．Held. B．Threw. C．Made. D．Bought. 4．Linda’s parents died ________. A．at the age of five B．on her fifth birthday C．before her fifth birthday D．after her fifth birthday 5．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．The story of an angel B．Linda’s birthday C．A late birthday gift D．Linda, the happiest child C Peter White said to his wife, “I miss my family. I want to invite them for dinner.

The next evening, Mr White came back from work and asked Mrs White, “Is dinner ready?” “I didn’t cook anything special because your family are not strangers. They can eat what we usually eat,” said Mrs White. Mr White asked angrily, “Why didn’t you tell me yesterday? It’ll be too late to buy some now.” Mrs White said, “Just call them and tell them what they’ll eat. After all, they are not strangers.” Mr White left the house unhappily. Later, there was a knock on the door. Mrs White opened the door and was surprised to see her sisters and parents. Her father asked her, “Where is Peter?” She answered, “He left just now.” Her father said, “How come? Yesterday, he invited us for dinner.” Hearing it, Mrs White couldn’t say anything. She thought the food she cooked was not good for her family. She called Mr White and asked, “Why didn’t you tell me that you invited my family?” Mr White said, “I used to think there’s no difference between my family and yours.” 根据语篇内容选择最佳答案。 1．Which two people are the “strangers” below?

She moved from Switzerland to England when she was young and I was always amazed that she 1 English to me, Italian to my grandfather and French or German on the phone to her relatives and friends back home. I always imagined she could be a 2 of books, or even a tour guide. What’s more, she didn’t learn English at school, but picked it up by 3 when she came to England. As for me, although I can speak a bit of Italian and German from listening to her, I only know a little grammar and sometimes get confused, 4 it’s hard for me to understand how someone can speak several languages so well. I’d love to know how my grandmother does it! English has 5 an international language and more and more people in the world speak English. I hardly use other languages in my own job. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want to learn other languages. In my eyes, being able to ask for 6 meal in a restaurant on holiday in a non-English speaking country would be great. Most important of all, it would be nice to talk with people from around the world-it would be easier to 7 new friends if I spoke their language. In fact, language learning is easier now 8 ever. New technology is the reason. For example, recording your voices helps you see how well you’re doing and helps you continue to improve. There are apps to help you learn new words.
