Unit 2 Home Sweet Home话题阅读任务单 Unit 2 Home Sweet Home 本单元围绕“家庭生活与和谐家庭”这一主题展开，该主题与课标“人与社会”主题范畴中的子话题“和谐家庭与社区生活”密切相关。通过前一单元的学习，学生已初步掌握描述假期经历的语言能力，能够运用一般过去时和不定代词表达个人体验。家庭是学生最熟悉的生活场景，也是培养责任意识与感恩之心的重要载体。因此，本单元主要帮助学生学会描述家庭生活、表达对家的情感，并在家庭互动中学习礼貌请求与征求许可。本单元的大问题“What does home mean to you?”启发学生思考家的真正意义——不仅是居住的场所，更是爱与责任的港湾。Section A和Section B分别以“What can you do for your family?”和“How do you feel at home?”两个引导性问题架构板块内容，并层层深入，指向单元大问题的回答。Section A首先呈现了搬家准备、新家布置、迎接祖父母等家庭场景，让学生通过听说活动学会运用“Can I...”“Could I...”提出请求和征求许可，聚焦情态动词与一般现在时两项核心目标语言。Section B的阅读语篇以春节回家为背景，描述一家人长途奔波回到祖父母家，通过厨房忙碌、共享美食、长辈关怀等细节传递家的温暖与亲情。写作环节要求学生描述自己的家庭生活或一次家庭团聚经历。本部分侧重探讨家庭体验对个人情感发展和责任意识培养的价值。 Passage A Home, Sweet Home (Excerpt) — by John Howard Payne 导读：约翰·霍华德·佩恩（John Howard Payne，1791—1852）是美国演员、诗人和剧作家。这首《家啊，甜蜜的家》是他最著名的作品，曾被谱成歌曲广为传唱，被誉为英语世界中最动人的思乡诗之一。诗中以游子的视角，表达了对家的深切眷恋——无论走遍天涯海角，住在多么华丽的宫殿里，都没有一个地方能胜过自己的家。这首诗与单元大问题“What does home mean to you?”高度契合，引导学生在诗歌的韵律中感受家的温暖与珍贵。 体裁：经典诗歌　 难度：★★★★　 词数：约160词 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 Home, Sweet Home 'Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home; A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there, Which, seek through the world, is ne'er met with elsewhere. Home, home, sweet, sweet home! There's no place like home, there's no place like home! I gaze on the moon as I tread the drear wild, And feel that my mother now thinks of her child, As she looks on that moon from our own cottage door, Through the woodbine, whose fragrance shall cheer me no more. Home, home, sweet, sweet home! There's no place like home, there's no place like home! An exile from home, splendor dazzles in vain; Oh, give me my lowly thatched cottage again! The birds singing gayly, that came at my call; Give me them—and the peace of mind, dearer than all! Home, home, sweet, sweet home!

In the past, many people lived in an extended family, where grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins all lived together. Today, however, most families are nuclear families, consisting of only parents and their children. There are several reasons for this change. First, people move more often for work. When someone gets a new job in another city, the whole family moves away from their relatives. Second, people are getting married later and having fewer children. In the past, families often had five or six children; today, one or two is much more common. Third, more women work outside the home now, so families have less time to spend together during the day. Although families are smaller today, the emotional bonds between family members remain strong. In fact, many families make a special effort to stay connected. They use video calls to talk to grandparents who live far away. They plan family reunions during holidays. And they value quality time together more than ever before. So what does home mean to you? It may not be a big house or a large family. It is the place where you feel loved, safe, and accepted—no matter how small it is. 【重难生词】 1. decade n. 十年 例句：Great changes have taken place over the past two decades.（在过去的二十年里发生了巨大的变化。） 2. extended family n. 大家庭（指祖父母、叔叔阿姨等住在一起的家庭） 例句：In an extended family, grandparents often help take care of the children.（在大家庭中，祖父母通常帮忙照顾孩子。） 3. nuclear family n. 核心家庭（仅由父母和孩子组成） 例句：A nuclear family usually consists of two parents and their children.（核心家庭通常由父母和他们的孩子组成。） 4. consist of 短语 由……组成 例句：The team consists of ten members.（这个团队由十名成员组成。） 5. relative n. 亲戚 例句：We visited our relatives during the Spring Festival.（我们在春节期间拜访了亲戚。） 6. emotional adj. 情感的；情绪的 例句：There is a strong emotional bond between the mother and her child.（母亲和孩子之间有着强烈的情感纽带。） 7. bond n. 纽带；联系 例句：The bond between the two sisters is very strong.（两姐妹之间的纽带非常牢固。） 8. remain v. 保持；仍然是 例句：Despite the changes, their friendship remained strong.（尽管发生了变化，他们的友谊依然牢固。） 9. make an effort 短语 努力；尽力 例句：She made a great effort to finish the project on time.（她付出了很大努力按时完成项目。） 10. reunion n. 团聚；重聚 例句：The family reunion during the Spring Festival is very important in China.（春节家庭团聚在中国非常重要。） 11. value v. 重视；珍视 例句：We should value the time we spend with our family.（我们应该珍惜与家人共度的时光。） 12. quality time n. 优质时间（指与家人共度的有意义时光） 例句：Parents should spend quality time with their children.（父母应该与孩子共度优质时光。） 13. accept v. 接受；接纳 例句：She felt accepted and loved by her new family.（她感到被新家庭接纳和喜爱。） 【小练习】（从上方生词中选择合适的词填空）： 1.

A study shows that learning to do chores at an early age is good for children’s growth. Here are some benefits (益处) that helping out with chores brings to children. Doing chores teaches children life skills. Children are young now, so parents do many things for them. But they will need to do many hard things by themselves one day. They should learn some life skills as early as possible. Doing chores like cooking and watering plants can help them become independent (独立的) and teach them how to solve problems.

They will respect others’ work more and keep the home clean and tidy. Doing chores helps children manage time well. There are a lot of things to do every day, and it’s hard to fit them all in.

I would get out a pot, some oil and butter happily, and wait for the first popcorn to jump with an exciting sound. Then, Mom would shake (摇) the pot over the stove (炉子) to keep the popcorn from burning (烧焦)—shake, shake, shake, and pop, pop, pop—until the pot was filled with delicious popcorn! Next, Mom would put it all into a big bowl and add some sugar on top. Later, we would all come to the living room. Dad would sit in his chair, and my mom, brother, and I would relax on the sofa. There was always a lot of popcorn to share, and Mom even let me eat the half-popped kernels (玉米粒). The funny thing is that I don't remember the shows we watched, but I still remember the taste of the popcorn, the warmth of the bowl, and the joy of being with my family. I felt so loved and happy. We didn't have a big house or much money, but our love for each other was everything. It's the little moments like these that matter most. They're magical gifts and good things we can always remember in our life. So, don't forget to enjoy these moments and the love that comes with them. They are what truly make life beautiful. 1．Why did the writer's mom shake the pot over the stove? 2．How did the writer feel when making popcorn? 3．Why does the writer still remember the popcorn and bowl? 4．According to the writer, what should you do to make your life beautiful? 5．Do you think a big house means a happy family? Why? Passage B 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 Many Chinese primary and middle school students can’t do housework today and do not take such work seriously. So some are unable to cook or wash their own clothes when they enter college. The Ministry of Education (教育部) starts a new curriculum standard (课程标准) for housework education for students from Grade 1 to Grade 9, making it an important course that students must take at least once a week. The new standard asks students in Grade 1-2 to learn to sweep the floor, Grade 3-4 to learn to plant vegetables, and Grade 5-6 to have the skills of cooking two to three dishes. Students in middle schools will learn to repair machines instead of paying someone to do it. This new standard is popular among many people. Wang: We all know housework education is important. Housework education should make students become more interested in labour, help them try different kinds of housework, and most importantly, correct the way they think about labour. The housework course will become an important way to make their personalities better. Li: It is important to make the housework class interesting so that the students will really get some skills for daily life. For this reason, schools have to invite more professional teachers to give classes instead of putting this new stress on parents and other teachers who are already busy with their daily work. Zhang: Some people think students don’t have to waste time learning housework. If you want to have meals, you can order food through the Internet. However, people with the skills of housework can go through daily life much more easily. It is the first step in helping young students have a healthy idea of labour and be able to look after themselves in daily life. 1．Why can’t some Chinese students cook or wash clothes in college? 2．What does the new curriculum standard require (要求) middle school students to do? 3．What is the most important thing of housework education according to (根据) Wang? 4．What is the meaning of the labour education according to the last paragraph? 5．What is your opinion on letting children cook by themselves? $ Unit 2 Home Sweet Home话题阅读任务单 Unit 2 Home Sweet Home 本单元围绕“家庭生活与和谐家庭”这一主题展开，该主题与课标“人与社会”主题范畴中的子话题“和谐家庭与社区生活”密切相关。通过前一单元的学习，学生已初步掌握描述假期经历的语言能力，能够运用一般过去时和不定代词表达个人体验。家庭是学生最熟悉的生活场景，也是培养责任意识与感恩之心的重要载体。因此，本单元主要帮助学生学会描述家庭生活、表达对家的情感，并在家庭互动中学习礼貌请求与征求许可。本单元的大问题“What does home mean to you?”启发学生思考家的真正意义——不仅是居住的场所，更是爱与责任的港湾。Section A和Section B分别以“What can you do for your family?”和“How do you feel at home?”两个引导性问题架构板块内容，并层层深入，指向单元大问题的回答。Section A首先呈现了搬家准备、新家布置、迎接祖父母等家庭场景，让学生通过听说活动学会运用“Can I...”“Could I...”提出请求和征求许可，聚焦情态动词与一般现在时两项核心目标语言。Section B的阅读语篇以春节回家为背景，描述一家人长途奔波回到祖父母家，通过厨房忙碌、共享美食、长辈关怀等细节传递家的温暖与亲情。写作环节要求学生描述自己的家庭生活或一次家庭团聚经历。本部分侧重探讨家庭体验对个人情感发展和责任意识培养的价值。 Passage A Home, Sweet Home (Excerpt) — by John Howard Payne 导读：约翰·霍华德·佩恩（John Howard Payne，1791—1852）是美国演员、诗人和剧作家。这首《家啊，甜蜜的家》是他最著名的作品，曾被谱成歌曲广为传唱，被誉为英语世界中最动人的思乡诗之一。诗中以游子的视角，表达了对家的深切眷恋——无论走遍天涯海角，住在多么华丽的宫殿里，都没有一个地方能胜过自己的家。这首诗与单元大问题“What does home mean to you?”高度契合，引导学生在诗歌的韵律中感受家的温暖与珍贵。 体裁：经典诗歌　 难度：★★★★　 词数：约160词 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 Home, Sweet Home 'Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home; A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there, Which, seek through the world, is ne'er met with elsewhere. Home, home, sweet, sweet home! There's no place like home, there's no place like home! I gaze on the moon as I tread the drear wild, And feel that my mother now thinks of her child, As she looks on that moon from our own cottage door, Through the woodbine, whose fragrance shall cheer me no more. Home, home, sweet, sweet home! There's no place like home, there's no place like home! An exile from home, splendor dazzles in vain; Oh, give me my lowly thatched cottage again! The birds singing gayly, that came at my call; Give me them—and the peace of mind, dearer than all! Home, home, sweet, sweet home!

In the past, many people lived in an extended family, where grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins all lived together. Today, however, most families are nuclear families, consisting of only parents and their children. There are several reasons for this change. First, people move more often for work. When someone gets a new job in another city, the whole family moves away from their relatives. Second, people are getting married later and having fewer children. In the past, families often had five or six children; today, one or two is much more common. Third, more women work outside the home now, so families have less time to spend together during the day. Although families are smaller today, the emotional bonds between family members remain strong. In fact, many families make a special effort to stay connected. They use video calls to talk to grandparents who live far away. They plan family reunions during holidays. And they value quality time together more than ever before. So what does home mean to you? It may not be a big house or a large family. It is the place where you feel loved, safe, and accepted—no matter how small it is. 【重难生词】 1. decade n. 十年 例句：Great changes have taken place over the past two decades.（在过去的二十年里发生了巨大的变化。） 2. extended family n. 大家庭（指祖父母、叔叔阿姨等住在一起的家庭） 例句：In an extended family, grandparents often help take care of the children.（在大家庭中，祖父母通常帮忙照顾孩子。） 3. nuclear family n. 核心家庭（仅由父母和孩子组成） 例句：A nuclear family usually consists of two parents and their children.（核心家庭通常由父母和他们的孩子组成。） 4. consist of 短语 由……组成 例句：The team consists of ten members.（这个团队由十名成员组成。） 5. relative n. 亲戚 例句：We visited our relatives during the Spring Festival.（我们在春节期间拜访了亲戚。） 6. emotional adj. 情感的；情绪的 例句：There is a strong emotional bond between the mother and her child.（母亲和孩子之间有着强烈的情感纽带。） 7. bond n. 纽带；联系 例句：The bond between the two sisters is very strong.（两姐妹之间的纽带非常牢固。） 8. remain v. 保持；仍然是 例句：Despite the changes, their friendship remained strong.（尽管发生了变化，他们的友谊依然牢固。） 9. make an effort 短语 努力；尽力 例句：She made a great effort to finish the project on time.（她付出了很大努力按时完成项目。） 10. reunion n. 团聚；重聚 例句：The family reunion during the Spring Festival is very important in China.（春节家庭团聚在中国非常重要。） 11. value v. 重视；珍视 例句：We should value the time we spend with our family.（我们应该珍惜与家人共度的时光。） 12. quality time n. 优质时间（指与家人共度的有意义时光） 例句：Parents should spend quality time with their children.（父母应该与孩子共度优质时光。） 13. accept v. 接受；接纳 例句：She felt accepted and loved by her new family.（她感到被新家庭接纳和喜爱。） 【小练习】（从上方生词中选择合适的词填空）： 1. A __________ family consists of only parents and their children. 2. The bond between family members __________ strong even when they live far apart. 3. The family had a happy __________ during the summer holiday. 4. We should __________ the time we spend with our loved ones. 5. The team __________ of ten members. 参考答案：1. nuclear　2. remains　3. reunion　4. value　5. consists 【长难句分析】 第1句： In the past, many people lived in an extended family, where grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins all lived together. · 翻译： 过去，许多人生活在大家庭中，祖父母、叔叔阿姨、堂兄弟姐妹住在一起。 · 重点： 这是一个包含非限制性定语从句的复合句。主句为“many people lived in an extended family”。where 引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词 an extended family，说明在这种家庭中谁住在一起。where 在从句中作地点状语，相当于 in which。从句中四个并列的名词短语 grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins 作主语，谓语为 lived。 第2句： It is the place where you feel loved, safe, and accepted—no matter how small it is. · 翻译： 它是让你感到被爱、安全和被接纳的地方——无论它有多小。 · 重点： 这是一个主从复合句。主句为“It is the place”，where 引导定语从句修饰 the place。从句中 feel 是系动词，后接三个并列的形容词 loved, safe, and accepted 作表语，其中 loved 和 accepted 是过去分词作形容词用，表示“被爱的”和“被接纳的”。破折号后面是 no matter how 引导的让步状语从句，意为“无论多么……”，进一步强调家的意义与房子的大小无关。整句话呼应了单元大问题“What does home mean to you?”，点明了家的本质是情感而非物质。 【中文翻译】 在过去的几十年里，家庭生活发生了巨大的变化。过去，许多人生活在大家庭中，祖父母、叔叔阿姨、堂兄弟姐妹住在一起。然而今天，大多数家庭是核心家庭，只由父母和孩子组成。 造成这种变化有几个原因。首先，人们为了工作更频繁地搬家。当某人在另一个城市找到新工作时，全家人都会搬离亲戚。其次，人们结婚更晚，孩子也更少。过去，家庭通常有五六个孩子；如今，一两个孩子更为常见。第三，现在更多女性在外工作，所以家人在白天相处的时间更少。 尽管如今家庭更小，但家庭成员之间的情感纽带依然牢固。事实上，许多家庭特别努力地保持联系。他们用视频通话与住在远方的祖父母聊天。他们在假期计划家庭团聚。他们比以往任何时候都更珍惜共度的美好时光。 那么家对你来说意味着什么？它可能不是一座大房子或一个大家庭。它是让你感到被爱、安全和被接纳的地方——无论它有多小。 一、阅读理解 Passage A Teens will finally grow up some day, leaving their parents and facing life’s difficulties alone, so they should learn basic life skills and develop good working habits. The government has been trying to pay attention to the importance of physical work. But it seems that people haven’t cared much about it these years. Many teens do not value the importance of physical work. There is a teenage girl named Nancy. She never helps with the house. Once her mother was on vacation for a week, leaving her alone at home. When her mother came home from vacation, she could not find a clean dish or a clean shirt. Schools play an important role in teaching students about the value of physical work. Primary and middle schools should provide students with courses (课程) on hard-working spirit every week. To our joy, some schools have provided each class with a small place outside to plant their favorite vegetables. For example, No.38 Middle School in Hefei, set up a 500-square-meter farm on an open platform (露天平台) of their teaching building. Each class is asked to grow and pick vegetables there. Parents should also encourage children to learn how to do chores at home. Teens should learn one or two life skills every year. These skills can include cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms. The basic skills may help teens to solve the problems they will meet in the future. 1．Why does the writer write Nancy’s story in Paragraph 2? A．To show government’s importance of physical work. B．To show many teens do not value the importance of physical work. C．To show schools play an important role in physical work. D．To show parents should encourage children to learn about physical work. 2．What does the underlined word “chores” probably mean? A．Homework. B．Housework. C．Office work. D．Computer work. 3．What should schools provide students to improve physical work according to the passage? A．Fresh food. B．Clean clothes. C．Physical work courses. D．Workers and farmers. 4．What is the best title of this passage? A．The Importance of Physical Work B．Colourful School Life C．An Interesting Vacation D．A Farm on An Open Platform 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，围绕青少年体力劳动教育展开论述，阐述了体力劳动的重要性，并从政府、学校、家庭三个层面给出建议。 【详解】1．根据第二段中的“Many teens do not value the importance of physical work.”以及紧接着提到的“There is a teenage girl named Nancy.”可知，作者列举Nancy的故事是为了具体说明许多青少年不重视体力劳动这一现象。 2．根据第四段中画线词所在句及后文“Parents should also encourage children to learn how to do chores at home…These skills can include cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms.”可知，这些技能包括做饭、洗衣服和整理房间，均属于家务劳动，因此“chores”的意思是家务劳动，相当于housework。 3．根据第三段中的“Primary and middle schools should provide students with courses (课程) on hard-working spirit every week.”可知，中小学应每周为学生提供关于勤奋精神的课程。 4．通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了青少年学习劳动技能的重要性，以及政府、学校和家长在培养青少年劳动精神方面应发挥的作用。选项A“The Importance of Physical Work.”最能概括文章中心思想。 Passage B A home is more than just a place to live.

Tidy your room, wash the dishes and sweep the floor regularly...Next, help out with daily work, you can cook a simple meal, water the plants or play with your pet.”可知，作者通过列举整理房间、洗碗、做饭等具体例子来说明我们可以为家做什么。 2．根据第四段“Hang up photos of happy times, light a nice-smelling candle or play some relaxing music...A welcoming home can make your day brighter.”可知，这些做法（挂照片、点蜡烛、听音乐）都是为了营造一种放松、温馨的氛围。因此“cozy”意为“温暖舒适的”，与“Warm and comfortable”含义最接近。 3．根据文章最后一段“The people inside make a home special, no matter how big or small it is.”（无论房子大小，里面的人让家变得特别）可知，作者认为家的特殊性在于人而非房子的大小或金钱。选项B“房子里的人让它成为一个特别的家”与此观点一致。 4．文章开篇指出家不仅仅是一个居住的地方，中间段落探讨了如何行动、家的感受以及如何营造温馨的家，最后总结家是爱和归属感的感觉。全文围绕家的真正内涵展开，“The True Meaning of Home”（家的真谛）最能概括文章主题。 Passage C Is there anybody who likes doing housework? Should children help out around the house? For some children, doing housework may be the last thing they want to do. For many parents, getting their children to help with housework is also one big headache(头疼). However, Nurafiza, a Malaysian mother found a creative way. Nurafiza came up with a reward (奖励) system (系统) for her two sons at home. She made a list (清单) of housework for her kids and gave them money for every task they had finished. The list of housework included cleaning up the house and putting away their toys for RM 50 each, doing the dishes for RM 80, and even not fighting with each other for RM 10 to RM 15. Nurafiza also opened a “mini mart (迷你超市)” at home for kids to spend the money in. Her three-year-old and six-year-old sons could buy snacks at her “mini mart” which was open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The money she gave to her kids was fake (假的) cash, which she had bought online. Because of this system, both of her children are glad to help with housework. Her Facebook post has got over 15,000 likes and has been shared over 27,000 times. Many parents have begun to imitate her. They use the same way to discipline (管教) their children. In fact, doing housework plays an important role in children’s development (发展). First, housework teaches children basic (基本的) skills for living, like cooking and cleaning. Second, doing housework is a good way to exercise children’s bodies. Third. doing housework makes it possible (可能的) for parents to spend more time with their kids. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By asking questions. B．By telling stories. C．By giving an example. 2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The “mini mart” is open for ten hours a day. B．Nurafiza’s kids never fight with each other.

Should children help out around the house?”可知，文章开头是通过提出两个问题来引入话题的。 2．根据第二段“Her three-year-old and six-year-old sons could buy snacks at her ‘mini mart’ which was open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.”可知，迷你超市从上午10点营业到晚上8点，时长为十个小时。 3．根据第三段“They use the same way to discipline their children.”可知，其他父母用同样的方式管教孩子，即模仿这位母亲的做法，所以该词意为“模仿”。 4．根据最后一段“In fact, doing housework plays an important role in children’s development.”及后续列举的三点好处可知，本段主要阐述了孩子应该做家务的原因。 Passage D Some parents think their children should play a lot in their childhood (童年), so they seldom let them do housework. While some parents think children should learn useful things, they teach their children to do chores by themselves early. A study shows that learning to do chores at an early age is good for children’s growth. Here are some benefits (益处) that helping out with chores brings to children. Doing chores teaches children life skills. Children are young now, so parents do many things for them. But they will need to do many hard things by themselves one day. They should learn some life skills as early as possible. Doing chores like cooking and watering plants can help them become independent (独立的) and teach them how to solve problems. Doing chores also helps children learn to respect others’ work. If they are asked to clean the house, they might know better about the mess they make. They will respect others’ work more and keep the home clean and tidy. Doing chores helps children manage time well. There are a lot of things to do every day, and it’s hard to fit them all in. They may have some problems when doing them. By doing housework, they can calm down and think clearly. This helps them know what the important thing is and how to manage their time well. 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By asking a question. B．By giving an example. C．By telling a story. D．By drawing a comparison. 2．What does the underlined phrase probably mean in Paragraph 4? A．Do them in order. B．Find time to do them all. C．Put them in the right place. D．Make everyone like them. 3．Which is the right structure (结构) of the text? (P₁=Paragraph 1, …) A． B． C． D． 4．What’s the writer’s purpose (目的) of writing the text? A．To teach children to do chores. B．To encourage parents to respect kids’ efforts. C．To teach parents to make plans. D．To encourage kids to do chores. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是说明文，围绕“童年时期学习做家务对孩子成长有益”这一核心观点，分别从培养生活技能、学会尊重他人劳动、提升时间管理能力三个方面，介绍了做家务给孩子带来的诸多益处。 【详解】 1．根据文章第1段“Some parents think their children should play a lot in their childhood, so they seldom let them do housework. While some parents think children should learn useful things, they teach their children to do chores by themselves early.” 可知作者通过对比两类家长的不同育儿观点来开启文章。 2．根据文章第4段“Doing chores helps children manage time well. There are a lot of things to do every day, and it’s hard to fit them all in. This helps them know what the important thing is and how to manage their time well.” 可知本段围绕“时间管理”展开，每日有很多事务要做，很难抽出时间全部完成，因此划线短语的含义是“找时间做完所有事”。 3．文章第1段总述观点，点明早年学习做家务对孩子成长有益，并引出下文对益处的介绍；第2、3、4段分别从三个角度具体阐述做家务的好处，属于“总-分”结构，即P1为总起段，P2、P3、P4为并列的分述段，对应图片A的结构。 4．根据文章第1段“A study shows that learning to do chores at an early age is good for children’s growth. Here are some benefits that helping out with chores brings to children.” 及后文对做家务三类益处的具体介绍，可推知作者写作本文是为了让孩子了解做家务的好处，鼓励孩子多做家务。 二、阅读补全 Passage A Simple Ways to Improve Relationships with Family A few lucky ones among us get on well with their family.

Some parents believe that paying children for doing chores teaches important lessons. Others think that chores should be done without rewards, as they believe helping around the house is just what kids should do 1 the family. One common way is to pay kids for each chore—for example, $1 for washing the dishes. Parents who use this way say it teaches kids the 2 of working for money. However, some children might 3 to help unless they get paid. Another way is to give pocket money weekly if children 4 all their chores. This makes chores feel less like work. But the 5 is that kids might do chores just for money. Some parents do not pay kids for chores because they believe it might make children focus more on rewards than on their sense of 6 . To them, chores are something kids should do as family members. These parents might still give pocket money, but not for chores. They want children to learn how to manage money 7 . However, children might not understand the relationship 8 work and money. A middle ground (折中的办法) is to pay only for bigger, more challenging chores, 9 washing the car, but not for small daily chores like making the bed. In this way, children can learn that helping the family is important, and that extra work can bring extra rewards. In a word, no single way is perfect. If one way doesn’t work, families can 10 another until they find what works best for them. 1．A．as well as B．as part of C．instead of 2．A．treasure B．importance C．money 3．A．forget B．decide C．refuse 4．A．complete B．enjoy C．remember 5．A．benefit B．problem C．importance 6．A．love B．time C．duty 7．A．wisely B．quickly C．easily 8．A．among B．between C．with 9．A．such as B．as for C．so that 10．A．do B．try C．write 【答案】 1．B 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．B 6．C 7．A 8．B 9．A 10．B 【导语】本文介绍不同家庭处理家务和零花钱的方式，包括付费、不付费及折中办法，分析优缺点，旨在找到最适合的方法。 【详解】 1．句意：另一些人认为家务不应当有报酬，他们认为帮忙做家务是孩子作为家庭一分子该做的事。 根据“chores should be done without rewards”以及“helping around the house is just what kids should do”可知，这里强调孩子作为家庭成员，应当把帮助家庭看作自己应该承担的一部分。as part of“作为……的一部分”符合语境。as well as“也”；instead of“而不是”均不符合句意。 2．句意：采用这种方式的父母说，这教会孩子靠劳动挣钱的重要性。 根据“pay kids for each chore—for example, $1 for washing the dishes”可知，孩子完成家务可以获得报酬，因此父母希望孩子理解劳动与获得金钱之间的关系，认识工作的价值。importance“重要性”符合语境。treasure“财富；珍宝”；money“钱”均不能准确表达这里想让孩子学习的内容。 3．句意：然而，有些孩子除非得到报酬，否则可能拒绝帮忙做家务。 根据“unless they get paid”可知，如果没有报酬，部分孩子就不愿意做家务，强调的是一种拒绝帮助的态度。refuse“拒绝”符合语境。forget“忘记”；decide“决定”均无法与“unless they get paid”形成合理的因果关系。 4．句意：另一种方式是，如果孩子完成全部家务，每周给零花钱。 根据“if children ____ all their chores”可知，获得每周零花钱的条件是把所有家务完成。complete“完成”符合语境。enjoy“享受”；remember“记得”均不能与“all their chores”构成合理搭配。 5．句意：但问题是孩子可能只为钱做家务。 前文介绍了每周完成家务获得零花钱的方式，后面“But”表示转折，说明这种方式也存在不足，即孩子做家务的目的可能变成获得金钱。problem“问题”符合语境。benefit“好处”；importance“重要性”均不能表达转折后的负面影响。 6．句意：有些家长做家务不给钱，因为他们认为这会让孩子更加看重回报，而忽视自身的责任感。 根据“To them, chores are something kids should do as family members”可知，这些父母认为孩子作为家庭成员，本身就有帮助家庭的责任，因此强调的是责任感。duty“责任”符合语境。love“爱”；time“时间”均不能与后文“as family members”形成对应关系。 7．句意：他们希望孩子学会如何明智地管理金钱。 根据“might still give pocket money, but not for chores”可知，虽然零花钱不是做家务的奖励，但父母仍然给孩子零花钱，是希望孩子在没有“做家务换钱”的情况下学习如何合理使用和管理金钱。wisely“明智地”符合语境。quickly“快速地”；easily“容易地”均不能体现管理金钱所需要的正确态度。 8．句意：然而，孩子或许无法理解工作与金钱之间的关系。 根据“the relationship ____ work and money”可知，表示“两者之间的关系”，固定搭配为the relationship between A and B，意为“A与B之间的关系”。between“在两者之间”符合语法和句意。among“在三者或三者以上之间”；with“和……一起”均不能构成正确搭配。 9．句意：折中办法是只为更大、更有挑战性的家务付钱，例如洗车，但不为铺床这类日常小家务付钱。 根据“bigger, more challenging chores”以及“washing the car”可知，后面的“washing the car”是在列举较大、更有挑战性的家务。such as“例如”符合语境。as for“至于”；so that“以便”均不能表示举例。 10．句意：如果一种方式行不通，家庭可以尝试另一种，直到找到最适合他们的。 根据“until they find what works best for them”可知，如果一种处理方式效果不好，就需要换一种方式进行尝试。try“尝试”符合语境。do“做”；write“写”均不能与“another”构成符合句意的表达。 Passage B 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When I was a child, every Spring Festival, my big family would get together at my grandparents’ old 1 in the countryside.

Our old house was beautiful and 1 . Our home now? Half the size and crowded. There were still boxes everywhere. The day after the move, while the kids were in school, I 2 the floor and hung the family photo on the wall. But it just didn’t feel like home. Maybe I could make some 3 , just like my grandma used to do. When I 4 eggs to my mixer (搅拌器), it suddenly stopped working. “Really?!” I felt like crying. What would my grandma do? I didn’t think she would 5 easily. She would find another way. So I ran to find Grandma’s old white mixer. I turned the switch (开关) on. 6 , the old mixer couldn’t work either. It was just like my life these days. “Come on! Try again,” a small 58 said. I turned the switch back on. To my surprise, the mixer started working slowly! Two hours later, the kids opened the door. “Mmm, chocolate biscuits! Thank you, Mom,” they said, jumping 7 . For the first time, our new house felt like home. It even 8 like home, just like Grandma’s house always did. Maybe this house wasn’t as big as our old one.

Try again,”这些话语是用嗓音说出来的，voice“嗓音”符合语境。noise“噪音”，song“歌曲”和cry“哭”不符合语境。 8．句意：“嗯，巧克力饼干！谢谢你，妈妈，”他们说着，兴奋地蹦蹦跳跳。 “Thank you, Mom,”是孩子在表达谢意，说明他们喜欢这些饼干，当时的情绪应是excitedly“兴奋地”。quietly“安静地”，especially“尤其”和easily“容易地”不符合语境。 9．句意：它甚至看起来像家了，就像祖母的家一直以来的那样。 “It”指代上文“our new house”，结合上文“jumping excitedly”可推测此处指有了蹦跳的孩子后，这个房子看起来也像家了，looked“看起来”符合语境。tasted“尝起来”，visited“拜访”和planned“计划”均不符合与house的搭配习惯。 10．句意：但话说回来，家不仅是我们居住的地方，也是我们分享每一天甜蜜时刻和小小奇迹的地方。 “the sweet moments and the small miracles”提示此处指人们在家分享甜蜜时刻和奇迹，shared“分享”贴合全文温暖的家庭氛围。missed“想念”，saved“保存”和cleaned“清洗”不符合语境。 四、任务型阅读 Passage A 根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 When I was a little girl, my mom would let me help her make popcorn (爆米花) on cold winter nights.

Next, Mom would put it all into a big bowl and add some sugar on top. Later, we would all come to the living room. Dad would sit in his chair, and my mom, brother, and I would relax on the sofa. There was always a lot of popcorn to share, and Mom even let me eat the half-popped kernels (玉米粒). The funny thing is that I don't remember the shows we watched, but I still remember the taste of the popcorn, the warmth of the bowl, and the joy of being with my family. I felt so loved and happy. We didn't have a big house or much money, but our love for each other was everything. It's the little moments like these that matter most.

They are what truly make life beautiful.”，说明在作者看来，我们应当享受这些细碎瞬间以及随之而来的爱，才能让生活美好。 5．本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一。结合文章和自己对“大房子”的看法、理由，合理作答即可。 Passage B 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 Many Chinese primary and middle school students can’t do housework today and do not take such work seriously. So some are unable to cook or wash their own clothes when they enter college. The Ministry of Education (教育部) starts a new curriculum standard (课程标准) for housework education for students from Grade 1 to Grade 9, making it an important course that students must take at least once a week. The new standard asks students in Grade 1-2 to learn to sweep the floor, Grade 3-4 to learn to plant vegetables, and Grade 5-6 to have the skills of cooking two to three dishes. Students in middle schools will learn to repair machines instead of paying someone to do it. This new standard is popular among many people. Wang: We all know housework education is important. Housework education should make students become more interested in labour, help them try different kinds of housework, and most importantly, correct the way they think about labour. The housework course will become an important way to make their personalities better. Li: It is important to make the housework class interesting so that the students will really get some skills for daily life. For this reason, schools have to invite more professional teachers to give classes instead of putting this new stress on parents and other teachers who are already busy with their daily work. Zhang: Some people think students don’t have to waste time learning housework. If you want to have meals, you can order food through the Internet.
