三、阅读理解
Are you good at cooking? In 2022, a 10-year-old girl called Sun Jiarui got tons of attention online for her amazing cooking skills.
Sun Jiarui’s father is the cook and owner of a farm restaurant in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province. Sun Jiarui started helping out with chores when she was around 4 or 5. When she was 8, she asked her father to teach her to cook after school. Now she can cook more than 50 dishes, which is not easy—even for an adult, “It’s beneficial for her to know some life skills so that she can better take care of herself when she grows up,” says Sun Jiarui’s father.
Her school has also set up a new cooking course for her. And Jiarui is a teacher in the cooking class. She teaches other students to make simple dishes there. “I hope that the course will help us to learn basic life skills. Then we can share housework with our parents,” says Jiarui.
Her school is not the only one to open a cooking course in China. Actually, in September, 2022, primary and middle schools in China added a new “practical activities” course in their school timetable, with at least one class hour every week. The new course has three kinds of tasks: everyday chores, productive labor (生产劳动) and volunteer work. Quite a lot of people welcome such courses.

A.meaningless B.helpful C.wonderful D.friendly
2.Sun Jiarui hopes that her course will________.
A.make herself more popular
B.offer dishes for students to eat

4.What is the best title for the passage?

1.根据第二段中“It’s beneficial for her to know some life skills so that she can better take care of herself when she grows up.”可知,懂得一些生活技能对她长大后更好地照顾自己是有好处的,因此推测“beneficial”意为“有帮助的”。
2.根据第三段中“I hope that the course will help us to learn basic life skills.”可知,她希望这门课能帮助同学们学习基本的生活技能。
3.根据最后一段中“The new course has three kinds of tasks: everyday chores, productive labor and volunteer work.”可知,新课程包含三大任务:日常家务、生产劳动和志愿服务,分别对应①、③和④。

Doing housework is a part of the family life. Some parents refuse to let kids do housework to make them enjoy more playtime. Others teach kids to do housework to make kids become independent. Then here comes the question: ________ My answer is yes and the following are my reasons.
Doing housework teaches kids life skills. Many of the life skills are things that teachers do not teach, so it’s even more important for kids to learn to do housework.
Doing housework makes kids learn to take on responsibilities (责任) and gain independence (独立). Living with their parents, they should know that everyone in the family should do their part in keeping the house clean. As long as kids can do things by themselves, they won’t always ask their parents for help.
Doing housework helps kids understand their parents better. When parents do the housework, most kids think it’s easy. Unless kids try some housework themselves, they won’t know how hard their parents are. However, giving them housework may help this insight come quickly.
Doing housework helps improve kids’ planning skills. When kids have schoolwork, housework and free time activities in a day, they need to decide what to do first. This way, they will improve their planning skills.
It’s true that studies are important to kids, but it doesn’t mean that kids need to spend all the time on their studies. At different ages, there is some housework that is right for kids. If they can do it, it will be good for their development.
1.Which of the following can be put in “________”?
A.Should children help with housework? B.Why is playtime important to kids?
C.How can kids become independent? D.Is it hard to teach kids to do housework?
2.What does the underlined word “insight” mean?
A.question B.challenge C.understanding D.subject
3.If kids help do housework, they can ________ according to the passage.
①learn life skills ②become independent
③make their parents understand them better ④make their planning skills better
A.①②③ B.①②④ C.①③④ D.②③④
4.Which is the right structure of the passage?
A. B.C. D.
5.Which of the following does the writer agree with?
A.Children should spend all the time on their studies.
B.Doing housework is more important to kids than studies.
C.The earlier kids do housework, the better it is for them.
D.Doing right housework at different ages is good for kids.
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.B 4.D 5.D
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,围绕“孩子是否应当做家务”这一话题展开,作者持肯定态度,并从培养生活技能、树立责任感与独立性、增进对父母的理解、提升规划能力四个角度阐述理由,最后总结指出不同年龄段的孩子做合适的家务对自身发展有益。
1.根据文章第一段中“Some parents refuse to let kids do housework to make them enjoy more playtime. Others teach kids to do housework to make kids become independent. Then here comes the question: ________ My answer is yes and the following are my reasons.”可知,前文介绍了家长对孩子做家务的两种不同观点,后文给出肯定回答并说明理由,可推知空缺处是询问孩子是否应该帮忙做家务的问题。
2.根据文章第四段中“Unless kids try some housework themselves, they won’t know how hard their parents are. However, giving them housework may help this insight come quickly.”可知,前文提到孩子亲自做家务才会体会到父母的辛苦,可推知insight指的是对父母付出的理解,与understanding词义相近。
3.根据文章第二段中“Doing housework teaches kids life skills.”、第三段中“Doing housework makes kids learn to take on responsibilities (责任) and gain independence (独立).”、第五段中“Doing housework helps improve kids’ planning skills.”,可知做家务能帮助孩子学习生活技能、变得独立、提升规划能力,对应①②④。
4.文章第1段提出核心观点,属于总起部分;第2至5段分别从四个方面论述做家务的益处,属于分述部分;第6段总结全文,点明合适的家务对孩子发展的好处,属于总结部分。全文为“总-分-总”结构,与选项D的图示相符。
5.根据文章最后一段中“At different ages, there is some housework that is right for kids. If they can do it, it will be good for their development.”可知,作者认同不同年龄的孩子做合适的家务对他们有益这一观点。

【答案】
Good morning, everyone,
I’m happy to share the keys to a happy family. In my opinion, there are two important secrets.
First, sharing housework is necessary. In my family, we always clean the house together on weekends. Doing housework not only helps my parents relax, but also teaches me basic life skills. Second, it is a good idea to share happiness or worries. We usually talk about our day after dinner. When I face difficulties, my parents always encourage me. This makes us understand each other better and brings us closer.
In a word, love and sharing make a happy family.
Thank you!

Her school has also set up a new cooking course for her. And Jiarui is a teacher in the cooking class. She teaches other students to make simple dishes there. “I hope that the course will help us to learn basic life skills. Then we can share housework with our parents,” says Jiarui. Her school is not the only one to open a cooking course in China. Actually, in September, 2022, primary and middle schools in China added a new “practical activities” course in their school timetable, with at least one class hour every week.

Doing housework is a part of the family life. Some parents refuse to let kids do housework to make them enjoy more playtime. Others teach kids to do housework to make kids become independent. Then here comes the question: My answer is yes and the following are my reasons. Doing housework teaches kids life skills. Many of the life skills are things that teachers do not teach, so it’s even more important for kids to learn to do housework. Doing housework makes kids learn to take on responsibilities (责任) and gain independence (独立). Living with their parents, they should know that everyone in the family should do their part in keeping the house clean. As long as kids can do things by themselves, they won’t always ask their parents for help. Doing housework helps kids understand their parents better. When parents do the housework, most kids think it’s easy. Unless kids try some housework themselves, they won’t know how hard their parents are. However, giving them housework may help this insight come quickly. Doing housework helps improve kids’ planning skills. When kids have schoolwork, housework and free time activities in a day, they need to decide what to do first. This way, they will improve their planning skills. It’s true that studies are important to kids, but it doesn’t mean that kids need to spend all the time on their studies. At different ages, there is some housework that is right for kids. If they can do it, it will be good for their development. 1.Which of the following can be put in “”? A.Should children help with housework? B.Why is playtime important to kids? C.How can kids become independent? D.Is it hard to teach kids to do housework? 2.What does the underlined word “insight” mean? A.question B.challenge C.understanding D.subject 3.If kids help do housework, they can according to the passage. ①learn life skills ②become independent ③make their parents understand them better ④make their planning skills better A.①②③ B.①②④ C.①③④ D.②③④ 4.Which is the right structure of the passage? A. B.C. D. 5.Which of the following does the writer agree with? A.Children should spend all the time on their studies. B.Doing housework is more important to kids than studies. C.The earlier kids do housework, the better it is for them. D.Doing right housework at different ages is good for kids. Tim lived in a little house.
