His parents always had him do lots of housework such as carrying out the rubbish, watering the flowers, and sending newspapers. But when he grew up, he was better off than his childhood friends and lived a happier and healthier life. These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 children in London. It showed that the children who had worked hard in childhood had a richer and a happier future. “Children who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said Daniel Brown, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.” Brown’s study followed these children in great detail (细节). Interviews were repeated at ages of 25, 31 and 47. Under Brown, the researchers compared the children’s mental-health scores with their childhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems. Working at any age is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility (责任心), independence, confidence, and competence-the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate (合作) and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently (精彩地) in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.” 1.Which of the following housework did Justin Tong NOT do when he was a child? A. Sending newspapers. B. Carrying out the rubbish. C. Watering the flowers. D. Selling newspapers. 2.What do we know about Justin Tong? A. He enjoyed a happy life. B. He felt sorry for the other kids. C. He always sold newspapers. D. He seldom collected rubbish. 3.Who will probably succeed in the future according to Paragraph 2? A. Children who enjoy happier and richer lives. B. Children who work in the home or community. C. Children who take part in Daniel Brown’s study. D. Children who feel good about people around them. 4.How did Brown follow the children in his study? A. By giving housework and praise. B. By setting goals and showing love. C. By interviewing and giving scores. D. By solving problems and testing them. 5.What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To talk about an interesting study. B. To introduce Justin Tong’s success. C. To tell us about childhood activities. D. To encourage children to work hard. 【答案】1. D　2. A　3. B　4. C　5. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文，以贾斯汀的例子引出一项长达40年的研究，表明童年参与家务或社区劳动的孩子未来更幸福成功，强调童年劳动对能力培养的重要性。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“His parents always had him do lots of housework such as carrying out the rubbish, watering the flowers, and sending newspapers.”可知，Justin Tong小时候没做过卖报纸的家务，故选D。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“But when he grew up, he was better off than his childhood friends and lived a happier and healthier life.”可知，Justin Tong过着幸福的生活，故选A。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“It showed that the children who had worked hard in childhood had a richer and a happier future. ‘Children who worked in the home or community gained competence...’”可知，童年在家或社区劳动的孩子未来可能成功，故选B。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“Brown’s study followed these children in great detail.

Peter began to know that Lucky loved meat better than anything else. When Peter fed bread to it, it felt unhappy. Day by day, Lucky wanted bigger and bigger pieces of meat.

(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案) For his eleventh birthday, Lin was given a gift that would shape his life. On that day his father took him to the Children’s Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that interested him. There was just one requirement: Lin would have to promise to study it for at least one year. To that point Lin had had many hobbies, but none kept his interest for more than a week or two. His mum once gave him a bag of stamps to encourage stamp collecting. That hobby lasted a week. Then his father got him some paints hoping that Lin’s artistic side would shine through. Those paints were now under his bed, some still unopened. This time Lin’s parents would let him decide. Lin’s eyes moved down the noticeboard that listed all the courses on offer. He stopped at “Photography”. He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student needed their own camera. Although Lin’s family weren’t poor, they weren’t rich either, and a camera cost a lot of money. He continued looking. The next course to catch his eye was “Language Arts”. He didn’t even know what that meant. His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches. Lin, a shy boy, to him it couldn’t be worse. Then he saw it, “Cooking” sounded like something he’d like to do. It was inexpensive and convenient. It could be done alone and it was also creative. Based on Lin’s hobby history, his dad had doubts (疑惑), but he agreed. Much to his parents’ surprise, Lin kept his promise. He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday, and practiced at home, making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays, when they could eat his cakes. Lin got great satisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others. The months turned to years but his hobby never became different again. Now Lin is an adult and runs a wonderful restaurant. When customers say they enjoy his meal, he still gets the same pleasure he did as a child, and remembers the special gift he received all those years ago. 1.Which hobby is Lin least willing to try according to the passage? A. Cooking. B. Collecting stamps. C. Painting. D. Making public speeches. 2.Why didn’t Lin choose to study photography? A. It was too expensive. B. He was not very creative. C. He had no interest in it. D. It was not offered that term. 3.The underlined expression “catch his eye” in Paragraph 4 means “________”. A. make him excited B. cause him surprise C. get his attention D. help him see clearly 4.Which of the following best describes Lin’s interest in cooking? A. It only lasted for a short time. B. It seemed to match his character. C. It was chosen by his parents. D. It developed slowly over many months. 5.Why did the father have doubts when Lin chose cooking? A. Lin wasn’t good at cooking. B. Cooking wasn’t very convenient. C. He didn’t think Lin would continue. D. Cooking wasn’t a good hobby for a boy. 6.What’s the best title for the passage? A.

(选择最恰当的答案) He was just an ordinary postman. Day after day, he shuttled (穿梭) back and forth across the village. For him, life was without waves. One day, he was delivering mail as usual. When he looked up in the sky, he suddenly lost his balance because a little stone tripped him up (绊倒). He looked down at the stone carefully, finding it strange but beautiful. In his eyes, this stone was like a lost jewel (宝石) covered with dust (灰尘). The postman then placed the stone in his bag carefully. Because of this stone’s arrival, his day was lightened. He suddenly had a good idea—I can build a castle with such beautiful stones. How wonderful it will be! His usual life started to be different since then. He still delivered mail, but he collected every stone he could find along the way. All those dusty stones, in his eyes, glittered like diamonds. Gradually, his small bag couldn’t hold his stones any more and he needed to use a wheelbarrow (独轮手推车) to carry them. People didn’t understand what happened when they saw the postman delivering letters with a wheelbarrow full of stones. After collecting enough stones, he started to build his castle. During the daytime, he passed along the dreams of others; and during the nighttime, he built his own dream. Someone laughed at him and no one joined him, but he still happily kept on building his castle. Because he knew, the dream and the castle only belonged to him. After 20 years of working day and night, the postman’s dream castle was finally completed. It was a magnificent castle just as he had imagined. This is a real story. The postman’s name is Xue Waller. The stone castle has become a famous tourist attraction in France, which is called “ideal palace of Ferdinand Cheval”. At the entrance of the stone castle, there is a sentence—“I want to know how far a dream stone can go.” 1.The postman found the stone because he ________.

Put your plant in a place where it can get both sunlight and shade.”以及“Mint prefers wet soil. Keep the soil well watered, but don’t overdo it. Don’t forget to put a plant saucer under your pot.”可知，正确的种植薄荷的图片应该体现薄荷植株种在有孔花盆里，花盆下有盆托，且放在有适当阳光和阴凉的地方，要给其浇水，但不可过量。故选B。 (5)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“You can plant it all year round, and it can grow well both indoors and outdoors.”可知，薄荷可以全年种植，D选项“薄荷可以在一年中的任何时候种植”正确。故选D。 主题语境01 人与自我-个人情况 Passage 1 （25-26七上·上海普陀·期中）Career Guidance Workshop Preparing teenagers for work: some ______ jobs Robotics engineers usually work in a tech company.

On that day his father took him to the Children’s Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that interested him. There was just one requirement: Lin would have to promise to study it for at least one year. To that point Lin had had many hobbies, but none kept his interest for more than a week or two. His mum once gave him a bag of stamps to encourage stamp collecting. That hobby lasted a week. Then his father got him some paints hoping that Lin’s artistic side would shine through. Those paints were now under his bed, some still unopened. This time Lin’s parents would let him decide. Lin’s eyes moved down the noticeboard that listed all the courses on offer. He stopped at “Photography”. He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student needed their own camera. Although Lin’s family weren’t poor, they weren’t rich either, and a camera cost a lot of money. He continued looking. The next course to catch his eye was“Language Art”. He didn’t even know what that meant. His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches. Lin, a shy boy, to him it couldn’t be worse. Then he saw it.“Cooking”sounded like something he’d like to do. It was inexpensive and convenient, it could be done alone and it was also creative. Based on Lin’s hobby history, his dad had doubts（疑惑），but he agreed. Much to his parents’ surprise, Lin kept his promise. He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday, and practiced at home, making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays, when they could eat his cakes. Lin got great satisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others. The months turned to years but his hobby never became different again. Now Lin is an adult and runs a wonderful restaurant. When customers say they enjoy his meal, he still gets the same pleasure he did as a child, and remembers the special gift he received all those years ago. 1.What hobby didn’t Lin try according to the passage?

His parents always had him do lots of housework such as carrying out the rubbish, watering the flowers, and sending newspapers. But when he grew up, he was better off than his childhood friends and lived a happier and healthier life. These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 children in London. It showed that the children who had worked hard in childhood had a richer and a happier future. “Children who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said Daniel Brown, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.” Brown’s study followed these children in great detail (细节). Interviews were repeated at ages of 25, 31 and 47. Under Brown, the researchers compared the children’s mental-health scores with their childhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems. Working at any age is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility (责任心), independence, confidence, and competence-the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate (合作) and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently (精彩地) in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.” 1.Which of the following housework did Justin Tong NOT do when he was a child? A. Sending newspapers. B. Carrying out the rubbish. C. Watering the flowers. D. Selling newspapers. 2.What do we know about Justin Tong? A. He enjoyed a happy life. B. He felt sorry for the other kids. C. He always sold newspapers. D. He seldom collected rubbish. 3.Who will probably succeed in the future according to Paragraph 2? A. Children who enjoy happier and richer lives. B. Children who work in the home or community. C. Children who take part in Daniel Brown’s study. D. Children who feel good about people around them. 4.How did Brown follow the children in his study? A. By giving housework and praise. B. By setting goals and showing love. C. By interviewing and giving scores. D. By solving problems and testing them. 5.What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To talk about an interesting study. B. To introduce Justin Tong’s success. C. To tell us about childhood activities. D. To encourage children to work hard. 主题语境02 人与社会-通讯与媒体 （25-26七上·上海复旦初级中学·期中）Summer English at City, University of London We offer holiday courses for teenagers in London.

It all began a year ago when Peter got home in the evening and found a big dog in front of his gate. He liked animals very much and gave it a big piece of meat. The next day, the dog was there again. It put up its front feet, asking for meat. Peter fed it another piece of meat. He didn’t know its name, so he named it “Lucky”. From then on the dog went to Peter’s home every afternoon. Peter began to know that Lucky loved meat better than anything else. When Peter fed bread to it, it felt unhappy. Day by day, Lucky wanted bigger and bigger pieces of meat.

(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案) For his eleventh birthday, Lin was given a gift that would shape his life. On that day his father took him to the Children’s Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that interested him. There was just one requirement: Lin would have to promise to study it for at least one year. To that point Lin had had many hobbies, but none kept his interest for more than a week or two. His mum once gave him a bag of stamps to encourage stamp collecting. That hobby lasted a week. Then his father got him some paints hoping that Lin’s artistic side would shine through. Those paints were now under his bed, some still unopened. This time Lin’s parents would let him decide. Lin’s eyes moved down the noticeboard that listed all the courses on offer. He stopped at “Photography”. He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student needed their own camera. Although Lin’s family weren’t poor, they weren’t rich either, and a camera cost a lot of money. He continued looking. The next course to catch his eye was “Language Arts”. He didn’t even know what that meant. His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches. Lin, a shy boy, to him it couldn’t be worse. Then he saw it, “Cooking” sounded like something he’d like to do. It was inexpensive and convenient. It could be done alone and it was also creative. Based on Lin’s hobby history, his dad had doubts (疑惑), but he agreed. Much to his parents’ surprise, Lin kept his promise. He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday, and practiced at home, making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays, when they could eat his cakes. Lin got great satisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others. The months turned to years but his hobby never became different again. Now Lin is an adult and runs a wonderful restaurant. When customers say they enjoy his meal, he still gets the same pleasure he did as a child, and remembers the special gift he received all those years ago. 1.Which hobby is Lin least willing to try according to the passage? A. Cooking. B. Collecting stamps. C. Painting. D. Making public speeches. 2.Why didn’t Lin choose to study photography? A. It was too expensive. B. He was not very creative. C.

It seemed to match his character. C. It was chosen by his parents. D. It developed slowly over many months. 5.Why did the father have doubts when Lin chose cooking? A. Lin wasn’t good at cooking. B. Cooking wasn’t very convenient. C. He didn’t think Lin would continue. D. Cooking wasn’t a good hobby for a boy. 6.What’s the best title for the passage? A.

Day after day, he shuttled (穿梭) back and forth across the village. For him, life was without waves. One day, he was delivering mail as usual. When he looked up in the sky, he suddenly lost his balance because a little stone tripped him up (绊倒). He looked down at the stone carefully, finding it strange but beautiful. In his eyes, this stone was like a lost jewel (宝石) covered with dust (灰尘). The postman then placed the stone in his bag carefully. Because of this stone’s arrival, his day was lightened. He suddenly had a good idea—I can build a castle with such beautiful stones. How wonderful it will be! His usual life started to be different since then. He still delivered mail, but he collected every stone he could find along the way. All those dusty stones, in his eyes, glittered like diamonds. Gradually, his small bag couldn’t hold his stones any more and he needed to use a wheelbarrow (独轮手推车) to carry them. People didn’t understand what happened when they saw the postman delivering letters with a wheelbarrow full of stones. After collecting enough stones, he started to build his castle. During the daytime, he passed along the dreams of others; and during the nighttime, he built his own dream. Someone laughed at him and no one joined him, but he still happily kept on building his castle. Because he knew, the dream and the castle only belonged to him. After 20 years of working day and night, the postman’s dream castle was finally completed. It was a magnificent castle just as he had imagined. This is a real story. The postman’s name is Xue Waller.

On that day his father took him to the Children’s Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that interested him. There was just one requirement: Lin would have to promise to study it for at least one year. To that point Lin had had many hobbies, but none kept his interest for more than a week or two. His mum once gave him a bag of stamps to encourage stamp collecting. That hobby lasted a week. Then his father got him some paints hoping that Lin’s artistic side would shine through. Those paints were now under his bed, some still unopened. This time Lin’s parents would let him decide. Lin’s eyes moved down the noticeboard that listed all the courses on offer. He stopped at “Photography”. He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student needed their own camera. Although Lin’s family weren’t poor, they weren’t rich either, and a camera cost a lot of money. He continued looking. The next course to catch his eye was“Language Art”. He didn’t even know what that meant. His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches. Lin, a shy boy, to him it couldn’t be worse. Then he saw it.“Cooking”sounded like something he’d like to do. It was inexpensive and convenient, it could be done alone and it was also creative. Based on Lin’s hobby history, his dad had doubts（疑惑），but he agreed. Much to his parents’ surprise, Lin kept his promise. He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday, and practiced at home, making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays, when they could eat his cakes. Lin got great satisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others. The months turned to years but his hobby never became different again. Now Lin is an adult and runs a wonderful restaurant. When customers say they enjoy his meal, he still gets the same pleasure he did as a child, and remembers the special gift he received all those years ago. 1.What hobby didn’t Lin try according to the passage?
