They did not have many friends there, but they soon met a lot of interesting people, and after a few weeks, they often went to dinner or parties at other people’s houses. Then Mrs Harris said to her husband, “We’ve been to a lot of other people’s houses, and now we must invite them to our house?” “Certainly,” answered her husband, “A big party will be the easiest thing, won’t it? Then we can start to invite people to dinner in small numbers next month.” So Mrs Harris said, “Yes, I’ll invite all our friends here to a big party on 5th December.” “How many will that be?” Mr Harris asked. “Don’t invite too many.” Mrs Harris was beginning to write the invitations when her husband saw that she was writing, “Party: 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.” “That isn’t very nice, is it?” he said. “You’re telling our guests that they must go at 8:30.” So Mrs Harris just wrote “Party: 6:30 p.m.” A lot of guests came, and they all had a good time, but they did not go home at 8:30. In fact they were still there at midnight when the doorbell rang and a policeman arrived. He said, “You must stop making noise, because someone has complained.” Mr Harris said he did not want to quarrel with the policeman, so everyone went home. They were sorry to have to go. When Mr and Mrs Harris were alone again, she said to him. “That was a surprise, wasn’t it? Who complained about the noise?” “I did,” Mr Harris answered in a tired voice. 24. Why did Mr Harris and his wife move to another town? A. Because they wanted to make some new friends. B. Because Mr Harris changed his work. C. Because they wanted to meet a lot of interesting people. D. Because they enjoyed going to parties and visiting other people’s houses. 25. What made Mr and Mrs Harris hold a party at their house? A. They had gone to other people’s parties many times. B. They could ask people to dinner in small numbers. C. They liked making friends with others. D. It was easy to hold a big party at home. 26. How long would Mrs Harris like the party to last? A. From morning till night. B. About fourteen hours. C. About two hours. D. Till midnight. 27. When did the party end that evening? A. At about 8:30. B. When the policeman talked with Mr Harris on the phone. C. At midnight. D. When someone telephoned the police station. C It is generally accepted these days that reading a book will help you relieve stress. And it may actually make you a more thoughtful person as you learn to connect with the various characters. But there’s more. A new study discovered that reading more than 3.5 hours per week actually increased a person’s lifespan by 23 percent — about 12 years for the people involved in the study. The study was led by a group of researchers at Yale University. It looked at 3,635 people, both men and women but all older than 50. The researchers divided them into three categories: those who didn’t read books; those who read up to 3.5 hours a week; those who read more than 3.5 hours a week. After the researchers adjusted for factors like education, health and income, the data showed that, on average, those who read about 3.5 hours a week were 17 percent less likely to die. In addition, the study examined people who read newspapers and magazines and found that they were 11 percent less likely to die than non-readers, but only if they spent more than seven hours reading each week. That may be due to the different forms of these items. When people read newspapers or magazines, they tend to skim the material rather than read it fully. Avni Bavishi, the study’s leader, said, “We believe people need to know, learn and understand more things when they are reading books, because they’re longer and there are more characters, more plots to follow, and more connections to make.” From all of these, the authors concluded that with a healthy diet and exercise, books appeared to promote a “significant survival advantage”. Clearly, there is a need for more study. We’re certain that book lovers all around the world will be glad to provide the data needed to make further conclusions. 28. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. A few people think that reading can help them relax. B. Reading can make a person more sensitive. C. Most people think that reading can help them to live a better life. D. Reading can help a person to live a longer life. 29. What can we learn about the people in the study from the text? A. All of them were older than fifty. B. Most of them were women readers. C. More than half of them were college students. D. They were divided into four groups by the researchers. 30. Generally speaking, those who read newspapers and magazines ______ than those who read books. A. live longer B. are more likely to be positive C. have a better ability to understand D. get fewer benefits in terms of the lifespan 31. In the last paragraph, the writer aims to _______. A. tell readers about the importance of reading B. call on book lovers to provide more data for the study C. analyze the data of the study D. encourage readers to make further conclusions by themselves D If you could have one superpower, what would it be? Dreaming about whether you would want to read minds, see through walls, or have superhuman strength may sound silly, but it actually gets to the heart of what really matters in your life. Every day in our work, we are inspired by the people we meet doing extraordinary things to improve the world. They have a different kind of superpower that all of us possess: the power to make a difference in the lives of others. We’re not saying that everyone needs to contribute their lives to the poor. Your lives are busy enough doing homework, playing sports, making friends, seeking after your dreams. But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself. Find an issue you are interested in and learn more. Volunteer or, if you can, contribute a little money to a cause. Whatever you do, don’t be a bystander. Get involved. You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when you’re older. But why not start now? Our own experience working together on health, development, and energy the last twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives. It has changed who we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead. 32. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Your life style. B. Your life value. C. Your trouble in life. D. Your life experience. 33. Why does the author say they are inspired every day? A. They possess different kinds of superpowers. B. They have got the power to change the world. C. Some people around them are making the world better. D. There are many powerful people in their life and work. 34. What does the author stress in Paragraph 5? A. Learning more and contributing more to a cause. B. Rising above self and acting to help others. C. Working hard to get a bigger opportunity. D. Trying your best to help the poor. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The author believes the lives of the poorest will get better. B. Much more progress will be made in the near future. C. The work on health is the most valuable experience. D. People’s efforts have been materially rewarded. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Jealous Ken Dick and Ken lived in the same street.

I got on a bus, and it was not full yet, so the driver didn’t want to leave right away. Soon a middle-aged woman got on the bus. She looked tired and sad, with red eyes. She talked to no one but said she lost half her money on the way here. Someone stole it. Luckily, she hid the other half inside her shirt, so she still had some money left. She stopped crying after a while, but she still looked weak. Later the bus was full, and the driver started it. The ticket seller walked around to collect money for tickets. She came to an old man with old clothes. He told her he took the wrong bus and spent all his money. Now he had no money to buy a ticket home. The ticket seller was angry and told him to get off the bus. The driver agreed and repeated the same words. The woman watched all this. When they spoke loudly at the old man, she stood up quickly and walked over. Para1: “Stop troubling him! Can’t you see he only wants to go home?” she said loudly. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para2: Everyone on the bus fell silent as the woman handed the money to the conductor. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 周至六中2025-2026学年度第二学期期末考试 高二英语试题（卷） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What’s the date today?

C 【解析】 【原文】Well, I want to talk about an activity course for the summer holidays. It operated for the first time last year for a six-week period from the middle of July until the end of August. This year we will be holding the course again. There will be different things to do every week. So the children won’t be repeating the same activities over and over again. However, I don’t expect many children will come for the whole summer as I am sure their parents will want to be with them for a week or two. We do, however, ask that children attend full weeks, not just single days. It makes it easier for us to keep attendance records. The course is available for children aged eight to ten. Next year, those aged five to seven are welcome to the course. If a child or a child’s parent is interested in coming to our summer activity course, they should go to our website and print out an application form. Send it in with part payment as soon as possible. You’ll need to tell us which weeks you are planning to attend straight away.

(3个大奖：每位获奖者可前往华盛顿特区旅行，同行人员为一位家长以及获奖者自行选定的另一个人)”可知，大奖获奖者本人，可携带一位家长和另外一人，一共2人同行。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Prizes部分中“50 Honorable Mentions: Judges will choose up to 50 honorable mention winners, who will each receive a T‑shirt in memory of Earhart’s final flight. (50个荣誉奖：评委最多评选出50名荣誉奖获得者，每位获奖者都将获得一件纪念埃尔哈特最后一次飞行的T恤)”可知，荣誉奖获得者会得到一件特殊T恤。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Rules部分中“Write a poem using 100 words or fewer. (写一首诗歌，词数不超过100词)”可知，参赛诗歌词数不得超过100词，写一首120词的诗歌会导致丧失参赛资格。 B Mr Harris used to work in Dover, but then he changed his work, so he and his wife moved to another town. They did not have many friends there, but they soon met a lot of interesting people, and after a few weeks, they often went to dinner or parties at other people’s houses. Then Mrs Harris said to her husband, “We’ve been to a lot of other people’s houses, and now we must invite them to our house?” “Certainly,” answered her husband, “A big party will be the easiest thing, won’t it? Then we can start to invite people to dinner in small numbers next month.” So Mrs Harris said, “Yes, I’ll invite all our friends here to a big party on 5th December.” “How many will that be?” Mr Harris asked. “Don’t invite too many.” Mrs Harris was beginning to write the invitations when her husband saw that she was writing, “Party: 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.” “That isn’t very nice, is it?” he said. “You’re telling our guests that they must go at 8:30.” So Mrs Harris just wrote “Party: 6:30 p.m.” A lot of guests came, and they all had a good time, but they did not go home at 8:30. In fact they were still there at midnight when the doorbell rang and a policeman arrived. He said, “You must stop making noise, because someone has complained.” Mr Harris said he did not want to quarrel with the policeman, so everyone went home. They were sorry to have to go. When Mr and Mrs Harris were alone again, she said to him. “That was a surprise, wasn’t it? Who complained about the noise?” “I did,” Mr Harris answered in a tired voice. 24. Why did Mr Harris and his wife move to another town? A. Because they wanted to make some new friends. B. Because Mr Harris changed his work. C. Because they wanted to meet a lot of interesting people. D. Because they enjoyed going to parties and visiting other people’s houses. 25. What made Mr and Mrs Harris hold a party at their house? A. They had gone to other people’s parties many times. B. They could ask people to dinner in small numbers. C. They liked making friends with others. D. It was easy to hold a big party at home. 26. How long would Mrs Harris like the party to last? A. From morning till night. B. About fourteen hours. C. About two hours. D. Till midnight. 27. When did the party end that evening? A. At about 8:30. B. When the policeman talked with Mr Harris on the phone. C. At midnight. D. When someone telephoned the police station. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述哈里斯夫妇办派对，丈夫不堪吵闹暗中报警结束聚会的趣事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Mr Harris used to work in Dover, but then he changed his work, so he and his wife moved to another town. (哈里斯先生过去在多佛工作，但后来他换了工作，于是他和妻子搬到了另一个城镇)”可知，哈里斯夫妇搬到另一个城镇是因为哈里斯先生换了工作。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“We’ve been to a lot of other people’s houses, and now we must invite them to our house (我们已经去过很多别人家做客了，现在我们必须邀请他们来我们家)”可知，哈里斯夫妇在家举办派对是因为他们已经多次参加过别人家的派对，需要回请。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Mrs Harris was beginning to write the invitations when her husband saw that she was writing, “Party: 6:30 p.m.to 8:30 p.m.” (哈里斯夫人正要写邀请函，这时她丈夫看见她正在写：“派对：下午6点30分到8点30分。”)”可知，她原本计划派对从下午6点半持续到8点半，时长约2小时。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第七段中“In fact they were still there at midnight when the doorbell rang and a policeman arrived. (事实上，午夜时分他们还在那里，这时门铃响了，一名警察到了) ”及第八段中“Mr Harris said he did not want to quarrel with the policeman, so everyone went home. (哈里斯先生说，他不想和警察争吵，所以大家都回家了)”可知，当晚的派对在午夜时分结束。 C It is generally accepted these days that reading a book will help you relieve stress. And it may actually make you a more thoughtful person as you learn to connect with the various characters. But there’s more. A new study discovered that reading more than 3.5 hours per week actually increased a person’s lifespan by 23 percent — about 12 years for the people involved in the study. The study was led by a group of researchers at Yale University. It looked at 3,635 people, both men and women but all older than 50. The researchers divided them into three categories: those who didn’t read books; those who read up to 3.5 hours a week; those who read more than 3.5 hours a week. After the researchers adjusted for factors like education, health and income, the data showed that, on average, those who read about 3.5 hours a week were 17 percent less likely to die. In addition, the study examined people who read newspapers and magazines and found that they were 11 percent less likely to die than non-readers, but only if they spent more than seven hours reading each week. That may be due to the different forms of these items. When people read newspapers or magazines, they tend to skim the material rather than read it fully. Avni Bavishi, the study’s leader, said, “We believe people need to know, learn and understand more things when they are reading books, because they’re longer and there are more characters, more plots to follow, and more connections to make.” From all of these, the authors concluded that with a healthy diet and exercise, books appeared to promote a “significant survival advantage”. Clearly, there is a need for more study. We’re certain that book lovers all around the world will be glad to provide the data needed to make further conclusions. 28. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. A few people think that reading can help them relax. B. Reading can make a person more sensitive. C. Most people think that reading can help them to live a better life. D. Reading can help a person to live a longer life. 29. What can we learn about the people in the study from the text? A. All of them were older than fifty. B. Most of them were women readers. C. More than half of them were college students. D. They were divided into four groups by the researchers. 30. Generally speaking, those who read newspapers and magazines ______ than those who read books. A. live longer B. are more likely to be positive C. have a better ability to understand D. get fewer benefits in terms of the lifespan 31. In the last paragraph, the writer aims to _______. A. tell readers about the importance of reading B. call on book lovers to provide more data for the study C. analyze the data of the study D. encourage readers to make further conclusions by themselves 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍耶鲁一项研究，发现读书有助于延长人的寿命，读报刊效果则相对有限。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A new study discovered that reading more than 3.5 hours per week actually increased a person’s lifespan by 23 percent—about 12 years for the people involved in the study. (一项新研究发现，每周阅读超过3.5小时，人的寿命实际上会增加23%，参与研究的人寿命大约增加12年)”可知，第一段除了提到阅读缓解压力、让人善于思考之外，还点明阅读有助于延长人的寿命。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It looked at 3,635 people, both men and women but all older than 50. (该研究调查了3635人，有男有女，但全部年龄超过50岁)”可知，研究对象全部年龄大于50岁。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“After the researchers adjusted for factors like education, health and income, the data showed that, on average, those who read about 3.5 hours a week were 17 percent less likely to die. (研究人员在对教育、健康以及收入等因素进行校正之后，数据显示：平均来看，每周读书约3.5小时的人死亡风险会降低17%)”以及第四段中“In addition, the study examined people who read newspapers and magazines and found that they were 11 percent less likely to die than non-readers, but only if they spent more than seven hours reading each week. (此外，该研究还调查了阅读报纸和杂志的人群，发现与不阅读的人相比，他们的死亡风险降低11%，但这一结果的前提是他们每周的阅读时长要超过7小时)”可知，同样在寿命获益方面，读报刊要花更长时间才能获得比读书更低的收益。由此推断读报刊的人在寿命方面获得的益处更少。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We’re certain that book lovers all around the world will be glad to provide the data needed to make further conclusions. (我们相信世界各地的读书爱好者会乐意提供所需数据，以便得出进一步结论)”可知，作者写最后一段目的是号召读书爱好者为该研究提供更多数据。 D If you could have one superpower, what would it be? Dreaming about whether you would want to read minds, see through walls, or have superhuman strength may sound silly, but it actually gets to the heart of what really matters in your life. Every day in our work, we are inspired by the people we meet doing extraordinary things to improve the world. They have a different kind of superpower that all of us possess: the power to make a difference in the lives of others. We’re not saying that everyone needs to contribute their lives to the poor. Your lives are busy enough doing homework, playing sports, making friends, seeking after your dreams. But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself. Find an issue you are interested in and learn more. Volunteer or, if you can, contribute a little money to a cause. Whatever you do, don’t be a bystander. Get involved. You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when you’re older. But why not start now? Our own experience working together on health, development, and energy the last twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives. It has changed who we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead. 32. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Your life style. B. Your life value. C. Your trouble in life. D. Your life experience. 33. Why does the author say they are inspired every day? A. They possess different kinds of superpowers. B. They have got the power to change the world. C. Some people around them are making the world better. D. There are many powerful people in their life and work. 34. What does the author stress in Paragraph 5? A. Learning more and contributing more to a cause. B. Rising above self and acting to help others. C. Working hard to get a bigger opportunity. D. Trying your best to help the poor. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The author believes the lives of the poorest will get better. B. Much more progress will be made in the near future. C. The work on health is the most valuable experience. D. People’s efforts have been materially rewarded. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇论说文。本文以虚拟语气的问句形式开头，鼓励人们奉献自己的一些时间和精力去帮助别人，最穷人的生活将会变得更好。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段Dreaming about whether you would want to read minds, see through walls, or have superhuman strength may sound silly, but it actually gets to the heart of what really matters in your life.可知，梦想着能读懂别人心思，看穿墙，或者拥有超能力，这些可能听起来很荒唐，但是实际上它是你生活的价值的核心。所以通过上下文语境可以判断出，划线词的意思是“你的生活价值”故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段Every day in our work, we are inspired by the people we meet doing extraordinary things to improve the world.可知每天在我们的工作中，我们会受到一些人的鼓舞，他们在做一些特别的事情来改善世界。所以故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself. Find an issue you are interested in and learn more. Volunteer or, if you can, contribute a little money to a cause. Whatever you do, don’t be a bystander. Get involved. You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when you’re older.可知，但是我们认为，当你把一些时间和精力投入到比自己更大的事情上时，你可以过上更有精力的生活。找到一个你感兴趣的问题并去了解更多。志愿者或者其它，如果可以的话，为一项事业捐一点钱。无论你做什么，不要做旁观者。参与进来。随着你的成长，你会为别人的生活带来影响。所以判断出作者在第五段强调，要提升自己，行动起来帮助别人。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句It has changed who we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead.可知，它改变了我们的身份，并继续让我们对未来几年最贫困人口的生活状况的将改善持乐观态度。由此判断出作者相信穷人的生活将会变得更好。故选A。 【点睛】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理判断题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含有infer, suggest, imply, conclude indicate等标志性词语。这种题型主要包括态度观点推断题、写作意图推断题、文章出处判断题和猜测想象推断题等。比如第7小题就是推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句It has changed who we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead.可知，它改变了我们的身份，并继续让我们对未来几年最贫困人口的生活状况的将改善持乐观态度。由此判断出作者相信穷人的生活将会变得更好。故选A。 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Jealous Ken Dick and Ken lived in the same street.

I got on a bus, and it was not full yet, so the driver didn’t want to leave right away. Soon a middle-aged woman got on the bus. She looked tired and sad, with red eyes. She talked to no one but said she lost half her money on the way here. Someone stole it. Luckily, she hid the other half inside her shirt, so she still had some money left. She stopped crying after a while, but she still looked weak. Later the bus was full, and the driver started it. The ticket seller walked around to collect money for tickets. She came to an old man with old clothes. He told her he took the wrong bus and spent all his money. Now he had no money to buy a ticket home. The ticket seller was angry and told him to get off the bus. The driver agreed and repeated the same words. The woman watched all this. When they spoke loudly at the old man, she stood up quickly and walked over. Para1: “Stop troubling him! Can’t you see he only wants to go home?” she said loudly. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para2: Everyone on the bus fell silent as the woman handed the money to the conductor. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 “Stop troubling him! Can’t you see he only wants to go home?” she said loudly. “He doesn’t have any money!” the driver shouted back. “Well, that’s no reason to throw him off the bus,” she insisted. Then she reached inside her blouse, took out her remaining money, and handed it to the conductor. “Here’s his fare and mine. Just stop giving him a hard time.” The conductor froze, and the driver’s face turned red with embarrassment. The old man stared at the woman, his eyes filled with gratitude. Everyone on the bus fell silent as the woman handed the money to the conductor. No one moved or spoke, but I could see soft smiles spreading across many faces. When the bus reached the old man’s stop, he stood up, bowed deeply to the woman, and whispered, “Thank you, kind lady.” She waved him off, a warm smile on her face. For the rest of the ride, she sat quietly, no longer looking tired or sad. Her small act of kindness had not only helped the old man but also lightened the mood of everyone on the bus. I realized that even a little compassion can make a huge difference in someone’s day. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在一个寒冷的三月傍晚，作者乘公交车时遇到一位刚被偷了一半钱的中年妇女和一位因坐错车而没钱买票的老人。售票员和司机要求老人下车，中年妇女挺身而出，用自己仅剩的钱帮老人付了车费的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写中年妇女与司机和售票员的争执，以及她掏出自己的钱帮老人付车费的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写车上乘客的反应、老人的感激以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：争执——掏钱付车费——尴尬与感激——沉默与微笑——老人道谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①取出：take out/get out ②低语：whisper/murmur 情绪类 ①感激：filled with gratitude/be thankful/show appreciation ②尴尬：with embarrassment/feel ashamed/look awkward 【点睛】[高分句型1] When the bus reached the old man's stop, he stood up, bowed deeply to the woman, and whispered, “Thank you, kind lady. ”（由连接词when引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] Her small act of kindness had not only helped the old man but also lightened the mood of everyone on the bus.（由not only...but also...连接的并列谓语结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。Text one, your birthday is around the corner. right?

IT Operated for the first time last year for a six week period from the middle of july until the end of August. This year, we will be holding the course again. There will be different things to do every week, so the children won't be repeating the same activities over and over again. However, I don't expect many children will come for the whole summer, as I am sure their parents will want to be with them for a week or two. We do, however, ask that children attend full weeks, not just single days. IT makes IT easier for us to keep attendance records. The course is available for children age eight to ten next year. Those aged five to seven are welcome to the course. If a child or a child's parent is interested in coming to our summer activity course, they should go to our website and print out an application form, send IT in with part payment as soon as possible. You'll need to tell us which week you are planning to attend straight away, but you won't need to choose your activities in advance.
