A．①②④ B．①③④ C．②③④ D．①③⑤ When we talk about “home”, most of us don’t just think of a building with walls and a roof. A real home is filled with things that warm our hearts. Recently, a small survey among 200 junior high students in Grade 8 showed what makes their houses feel like “home”. Over 80% of the students said the sound of family members talking is the key. For example, hearing Mom ask about their school day or Dad share funny work stories after dinner makes them feel safe. Around 70% mentioned small, daily habits — like the smell of grandma’s homemade dumplings on weekends or the way their pet dog runs to the door when they get back. These little things, they said, are more important than expensive TV sets or big sofas. Some students also talked about “memory corners”. These could be a shelf with their childhood toys, a wall with family photos, or even a window where they often sit to read. “Home is where I can be totally myself.” one student wrote. This shows that home is not about how big or beautiful a house is. It’s about the love, memories and comfort we find there. As the old saying goes, “East or west, home is best.” 1．Which of the following makes people think of “home” according to the survey result? A．The dumplings made by grandma. B．The expensive beds in the house. C．The big rooms filled with guests. 2．Why did the writer mention “memory corners” in the passage? A．To tell readers how to decorate a house nicely. B．To show that students like collecting childhood toys. C．To explain one of the things that make a house feel like home. 3．What’s the right understanding of “Home is where I can be totally myself.”? A．I can do whatever I want to do at home. B．I can be what I truly am without pretending. C．I don’t have to be nice to every family member. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．What makes a house a real home? B．How to get along well with family members? C．The difference between a big house and a small house. 5．What emotion does the writer want to express through the passage? A．Agreement that home is about love and comfort. B．Happiness about students having beautiful houses. C．Worry about students not caring about their homes. Last week, we did a survey about students’ housework habits in Grade 8.

She often turns to her mom and says, “Could you help me?” However, her mom’s answer is always the same: “Do it yourself, dear.” This makes Anna feel upset, and she even thinks of her mom as a lazy person. For example, one day, Anna invited some friends over, but her bedroom was in a mess. Books were all over the table and floor, and she had forgotten to make her bed. She asked her mother for help to tidy up, but her mom replied seriously, “Do it yourself, girl.” Anna had to clean the room on her own. Luckily, when her friends arrived, her bedroom was clean enough. Because of her mother’s “laziness”, Anna has to wash her own clothes, keep her room tidy, and even help with household chores. When she has a toothache, she even has to go to the dentist by herself. She does all these things reluctantly, with a voice in her heart saying, “What a cold and lazy mom I have!” As Anna grows up, she begins to understand her mother. Her mom’s so-called laziness is actually a way to build her independence. It was really hard for Anna to do everything on her own at first, but she has learned a lot. Through those early difficult times, she has learned the importance of relying on herself and gained important life skills. Now, Anna is thankful for the lesson her mother taught her—these skills have shaped her into a stronger and more hard-working person. 1．What does Anna often do when she faces challenges at first? A．She often solves them on her own easily. B．She often asks her mother for help. C．She often communicates with her friends. D．She often calls her grandparents up. 2．Because of her mother’s laziness, Anna has to do the following things except ________. A．Washing her own clothes. B．Keeping her room tidy. C．Helping with household chores. D．Looking after her baby sister. 3．What does the underlined word “reluctantly” mean in the passage? A．Unwillingly. B．Gladly. C．Quickly. D．Carefully. 4．How did Anna’s feelings towards her mother change? A．Worried→hopeful→thankful. B．Upset→afraid→angry. C．Excited→worried→upset. D．Upset→accepting→thankful. 5．What’s the best title for the text? A．A lesson her mother taught her B．How to make friends C．How to do chores D．A trip to the dentist Every Saturday, 14-year-old Helen had to help wash clothes. But she hated it. One day, when her mother asked her to wash clothes, she complained (抱怨) and threw them into the basket, “Why me?” Her mother was cleaning the kitchen floor and answered, “We’re a family, aren’t we?” Helen felt upset (心烦的). Her friend Emma’s house was always clean because they had a cleaner. “Why don’t we hire (雇佣) a cleaner?” Helen asked.

She realized their home needed everyone’s care. For her project, Helen made a video (视频) and showed pride in her family’s Saturday chores. She wrote funny titles (标题) like “Dad: Fixer and Breakfast Maker” and “Mom: Cleaning Boss.” When she showed the video, her classmates loved it. Emma said, “Maybe chores aren’t so bad.” Now, Helen still doesn’t love washing, but she understands its value (价值).

Last Sunday afternoon, dark clouds covered the sky. My mom rushed out for a work call and had a quick lunch in a hurry.” Nancy, stay safe.I might be back very late,” she said and left in a hurry. Looking at the empty (空的) kitchen, I remembered how tired she was these days. At that moment, I decided to surprise her with a dinner. I called Grandma.She carefully guided me over the phone. First, I washed fresh tomatoes,onions, and carrots. I almost cut my hand several times when I cut them up. Then I slowly added some salt and pepper according to Grandma’s advice. While making the soup, I steamed rice and made a simple vegetable salad. Just as I was placing bowls on the table, Mom walked in. Excitement (激动) appeared on her tired face. “Is this all for me?”she asked in a trembling (颤抖的) voice. We sat down to eat, and Mom had some soup, enjoying every bite with her eyes closed. “What a delicious meal!” she said, “But the best part is you made it with love.” That night, as we ate the dishes together, Mom told me stories about her first learning to cook from Grandma.I realized that cooking is not just about making food-it’s a way to share love. Truly, home is the sweetest place with warm memories. Now, cooking dinner together has become our happiest time every weekend. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案, 并将其标号填入题前括号内。 1．Why did Nancy decide to cook dinner?

However, not all chores are suitable for every age. The following is advice on activities parents can use to help their children. Two-year-olds can learn how to take out the rubbish. They can also help their parents carry light things and hang up clothes. At this age children should learn how to put their toys away before going to bed. At the age of three, children can learn how to water plants and feed pets carefully. They should learn how to make their beds and put their dishes away. Children at this age can pick up the daily newspapers, and begin to learn how to wash clothes. Four-year-olds should be old enough to do what the two and three year olds can do and more. They can make their beds, set the table, and clean up after dinner. They should also learn how to fold their clothes and put them in the right cabinets (柜子), as well as how to choose their clothes for the following day. Children aged five should help clean the table and change their bed sheets (床单). They can also prepare their schoolbags for the next school day. At this age they should learn to clean up their toys and tidy up their rooms. Children grow through their experiences. The more things they do, the more they will learn. Others help them only when they need it. It is important that they learn how to be independent (独立的) and try to finish the chores by themselves. 1．What does the underlined word “suitable” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A real home is filled with things that warm our hearts. Recently, a small survey among 200 junior high students in Grade 8 showed what makes their houses feel like “home”.

Around 70% mentioned small, daily habits — like the smell of grandma’s homemade dumplings on weekends or the way their pet dog runs to the door when they get back. These little things, they said, are more important than expensive TV sets or big sofas. Some students also talked about “memory corners”. These could be a shelf with their childhood toys, a wall with family photos, or even a window where they often sit to read. “Home is where I can be totally myself.” one student wrote. This shows that home is not about how big or beautiful a house is. It’s about the love, memories and comfort we find there.

She often turns to her mom and says, “Could you help me?” However, her mom’s answer is always the same: “Do it yourself, dear.” This makes Anna feel upset, and she even thinks of her mom as a lazy person. For example, one day, Anna invited some friends over, but her bedroom was in a mess. Books were all over the table and floor, and she had forgotten to make her bed. She asked her mother for help to tidy up, but her mom replied seriously, “Do it yourself, girl.” Anna had to clean the room on her own. Luckily, when her friends arrived, her bedroom was clean enough. Because of her mother’s “laziness”, Anna has to wash her own clothes, keep her room tidy, and even help with household chores. When she has a toothache, she even has to go to the dentist by herself. She does all these things reluctantly, with a voice in her heart saying, “What a cold and lazy mom I have!” As Anna grows up, she begins to understand her mother. Her mom’s so-called laziness is actually a way to build her independence. It was really hard for Anna to do everything on her own at first, but she has learned a lot. Through those early difficult times, she has learned the importance of relying on herself and gained important life skills. Now, Anna is thankful for the lesson her mother taught her—these skills have shaped her into a stronger and more hard-working person. 1．What does Anna often do when she faces challenges at first? A．She often solves them on her own easily. B．She often asks her mother for help. C．She often communicates with her friends. D．She often calls her grandparents up. 2．Because of her mother’s laziness, Anna has to do the following things except ________. A．Washing her own clothes. B．Keeping her room tidy. C．Helping with household chores. D．Looking after her baby sister. 3．What does the underlined word “reluctantly” mean in the passage? A．Unwillingly. B．Gladly. C．Quickly. D．Carefully. 4．How did Anna’s feelings towards her mother change? A．Worried→hopeful→thankful. B．Upset→afraid→angry. C．Excited→worried→upset. D．Upset→accepting→thankful. 5．What’s the best title for the text? A．A lesson her mother taught her B．How to make friends C．How to do chores D．A trip to the dentist 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述Anna一开始不解母亲总让她凡事独立完成，长大后才懂得母亲是在培养她独立自主的品质。 1．根据第一段中“Many children ask their mothers for help when they meet challenges, and Anna is no exception. She often turns to her mom and says, ‘Could you help me?’”可知，Anna遇到难题时经常向妈妈寻求帮助。 2．根据第三段中“Because of her mother’s ‘laziness’, Anna has to wash her own clothes, keep her room tidy, and even help with household chores.”可知，Anna需要自己洗衣服、整理房间、分担家务，原文没有提到她需要照顾年幼的妹妹。 3．根据第三段中“She does all these things reluctantly, with a voice in her heart saying, ‘What a cold and lazy mom I have!’”可知，Anna内心抵触母亲的要求，并不愿意独自做事，因此reluctantly意为“不情愿地”，和unwillingly同义。 4．根据第一段中“This makes Anna feel upset”、第四段中“as Anna grows up, she begins to understand her mother.”以及“Now, Anna is thankful for the lesson her mother taught her”可知，Anna的心路历程为：难过→接纳理解→心怀感激，对应D选项。 5．全文围绕母亲教会Anna独立这件事展开，母亲的教导是文章核心，所以最佳标题是A lesson her mother taught her（母亲教会她的一堂课）。 Every Saturday, 14-year-old Helen had to help wash clothes. But she hated it. One day, when her mother asked her to wash clothes, she complained (抱怨) and threw them into the basket, “Why me?” Her mother was cleaning the kitchen floor and answered, “We’re a family, aren’t we?” Helen felt upset (心烦的). Her friend Emma’s house was always clean because they had a cleaner. “Why don’t we hire (雇佣) a cleaner?” Helen asked.

But she hated it. One day, when her mother asked her to wash clothes, she complained…”，海伦每周六要帮忙洗衣服，她很讨厌这件事，因此抱怨的内容就是自己得洗衣服。 2．根据第三段“her father fixed the sink…and her brother watered flowers carefully outside.”可知，此处正在列举家庭成员做家务的场景，只有A选项“妈妈打扫卫生弄脏了手”符合这个语境。 3．第四段提到“For her project, Helen made a video (视频) and showed pride in her family’s Saturday chores.”，她的视频展示了她对家庭工作的自豪。 4．文章最后一段明确说明“Now, Helen still doesn’t love washing, but she understands its value (价值).”，海伦最终仍然不喜欢洗衣服，但理解了它的价值。 5．全文围绕海伦对家务态度的转变展开，核心要传递的是做家务能培养责任感、也能让生活有序运转的道理。 Last Sunday afternoon, dark clouds covered the sky.

Nobody talked much during breakfast, Mrs. March was pale and tired. The girls tried to hide their tears. Then Mr. Brooke arrived with the carriage and it was time for Mrs. March to leave. She kissed her daughters one by one and said, “Keep busy, my dears, and never lose hope!” “Yes, Mother.” “Meg, look after your sisters. If you need help, ask Hannah or Mr. Laurence. Jo, be patient and cheerful, and write to me often. Beth and Amy, help with the housework and be obedient (顺从的)” “Yes, Mother! Don’t worry!” She got into the carriage and opened the window. “Goodbye, my dears!” she called as it drove away. The girls waved their hands cheerfully until the carriage turned the corner. Then, with sad faces and heavy hearts, they went back inside. “The house seems very empty now,” said Meg. “Our motto (格言) is Hope and keep busy,” said Jo brightly. She was trying to forget how sad she was feeling, “So I’m going to go and see Aunt March. What about you, Meg?” “I’m going to teach the King children,” replied Meg. “And Amy and I are going to help Hannah with the housework,” said Beth. “I think anxiety (焦虑) is very interesting,” Amy said seriously. Her words made her sisters laugh, and they all started to feel a little better. For a week the girls kept to their motto and worked hard. Then Jo got a bad cold and had to stay at home. She didn’t mind this at all because she didn’t like going to Aunt March’s. She was happy to lie on the sofa all day with her books and medicine. Amy got bored with doing housework, so she took out her pencils and drawing book again. Meg went to teach the King children every day and sewed. She spent the rest of her time writing long letters to her mother and reading the letters from Mr. Brooke. Only Beth continued to look after the house.

She did her own jobs and her sisters’ jobs, too. She never complained. And every day she took some food to the Hummel family.”可知，Beth不仅完成自己的家务，还主动承担了姐妹们的家务，从不抱怨，并且每天给Hummel一家送食物。由此可以推断，她是一个善良、勤劳的女孩。 5．文章最后一段提到女孩们将“Hope and keep busy”作为格言并努力工作了一周，说明她们努力遵循格言。 Housework is a great tool to use for raising children. However, not all chores are suitable for every age. The following is advice on activities parents can use to help their children. Two-year-olds can learn how to take out the rubbish. They can also help their parents carry light things and hang up clothes. At this age children should learn how to put their toys away before going to bed. At the age of three, children can learn how to water plants and feed pets carefully. They should learn how to make their beds and put their dishes away. Children at this age can pick up the daily newspapers, and begin to learn how to wash clothes. Four-year-olds should be old enough to do what the two and three year olds can do and more. They can make their beds, set the table, and clean up after dinner. They should also learn how to fold their clothes and put them in the right cabinets (柜子), as well as how to choose their clothes for the following day. Children aged five should help clean the table and change their bed sheets (床单). They can also prepare their schoolbags for the next school day. At this age they should learn to clean up their toys and tidy up their rooms. Children grow through their experiences. The more things they do, the more they will learn. Others help them only when they need it. It is important that they learn how to be independent (独立的) and try to finish the chores by themselves. 1．What does the underlined word “suitable” in Paragraph 1 mean?
