1、寒假作业一、阅读理解1. Just over 12 months ago I gave myself a challenge: give up spending on all but the essentials for a whole year. It hasnt always been easy, but a year on I am wealthier and wiser. Embarrassingly, I have also realised just how much money Ive wasted in the pubs, restaurants and through min

2、dless shopping. Free of any financial worries, I was spending without thinking. Giving up spending for a year was an extreme(极端的) approach, but I wanted to experince extreme frugality(节俭), change my spending patterns and pay my mortgage more instead of shopping. I could continue to pay my bills, inc

3、luding mortgages, broadband(宽带), phone bill, charity donations, life insurances, money to help my family and basic groceries. It was not easy, especially in the first few months. There were lows, such as when I missed my favourite jazz concerts and hit films. There have also been some awkward moment

4、s when Ive turned up to a friends house for dinner empty-handed. I did a lot of washing up at my friends houses in return this year. I did find new ways to live, however. Using sites such as Eventbrite I have been to film screenings, wine tasting evenings and theatre productions for free. Living in

5、London I have a wealth of free cultural activities on my doorstep and Ive been to more art exhibitions this year than ever before.

After years of hard work, his dream has come true. The house is now in the early stages of building. Six years ago, Josh and his dad went i

10、nto the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, a home improvement store and donation center run by the nonprofit organization. They were there to buy a sink. Josh, then 11, also noticed a collection of pennies. I instantly felt the urge to help out with that, he said. Josh set a fund-raising deadline of four

11、 years. Many people doubted whether he could reach his goal of $100,000, but it didnt shake his faith. He devoted his time to raising money at his school and other nearby schools. He collected money from neighbours, got publicity from local newspapers, and placed cans in stores so that people could

12、donate extra change. Joshs fund-raising efforts began to produce results. Still, there were challenges. Four months before his deadline, he was $ 30, 000 short. He decided to hold a Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner event in Uxbridge, which is in the province of Ontario. The event raised $ 19,000

13、. I didnt care how long it took me, said Josh. I would raise $100,000. With three weeks left, a company called Joshs house offered to donate $ 18,000. Eventually, Josh reached a total of $ 134,000 before the deadline. The momentum just kept going, and we decided to do more, he said. Joshs Penny Hous

14、e is being built by Habitat for Humanity in the city of Oshawa, along with 24 new town houses. Josh has helped with some of the construction, as have other volunteers. He will choose the family that moves into the unit. Next year, the 17-year-old kid will head to college in British Columbia, Canadas

15、 westernmost province. As an 11-year-old kid when starting fundraising, Josh was able to send a powerful message across the world.

I watched my Dad clos

18、e the door. It was a really cold night in dead silence and I was all alone at home. My parents left because they had been running a fever for several days and they were showing other symptoms of COVID-19. It was the 9th day of Wuhan lockdown (封闭) starting on January 23. The virus we now know as COVI

19、D-19 is somehow fearsome partly because it does not discriminate (区别对待) in choosing who it infects. But that is only partly true. All the evidence suggests that it can be merciless to older people, so I was wondering whether my parents would make it and whether we would ever take family photos, whic

20、h my parents and I had talked about during the Spring Festival holiday. On their second day away, my parents called and asked me how I was. We talked using FaceTime, and the moment I saw my mom was lying there with an oxygen mask and that my dad could not talk without breathing heavily, I realized t

21、hat I had to live on my own. But two weeks later, I came across a fever and had to be put in quarantine(隔离) and be put under medical observations for 14 days. Fortunately, my illness turned out to be due to bacterial infections but not COVID-19.Everything there was hectic (忙碌的), there seemed to be a

22、 shortage of medical staff and materials were in short supply. Even though the doctors and nurses were covered from head to toe, I could see how tired they were when I looked into their bloodshot eyes. They would work a whole day preparing for new patients and seemed incredibly apologetic for not ha

23、ving everything that was needed. Most of the patients were really understanding, but of course there were those who were not, and complained loudly, but all the doctors and nurses tried their best to deal with it in a calm way. And they are all from other cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou, and some

24、 of them are just three or four years older than me. When the quarantine was over, every patient effusively thanked the workers for what they had done, but the answer they received was exactly the same: Thats what were here for.1.When did the authors parents leave her for the hospital?A.January 23.B

25、.January 30.C.January 31.D.February 2.2.What does the underlined phrase make it in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Succeed.B.Join.C.Arrive.D.Survive.3.What can we learn according to the passage?A.Both the author and her parents got infected with COVID-19.B.The majority of the patients understood the doctors and

26、nurses.C.he patients apologized to the doctors and nurses because they were too tired.D.The author didnt get infected with COVID-19 because the virus can only infect the older.4.What may the author think of the medical workers according to the passage?A.Admirable.B.Outgoing.C.Impatient.Thankful.4. T

27、odays world is not an easy adjustment for young adults. A key skill set for success is persistence (毅力), a characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent childre

28、n learn persistence. BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after following 325 American families over several years. And over time, the persistence gained through fathers led to higher achievement in school. There are relatively few studies that stress the uniq

29、ue role of fathers, Padilla-Walker said. This research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistencewhich can be taughtare key to a childs life success. Researchers determined that dads need to practice an authoritative parenting style. Authoritative parenting is not authoritarian: ri

30、gid, demanding or controlling. Rather, an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics: children feel warmth and love from their father; responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed; children are given an appropriate level of autonomy (自主权). In the study,

31、about 52 percent of the dads exhibited above-average levels of authoritative parenting. A key finding is that over time, children raised by an authoritative father were significantly more likely to develop persistence, which leads to better outcomes in school. This particular study examined 11 to 14

32、-year-olds living in two-parent homes. Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence, which is an avenue of future research.1.What is special about the BYU professors study?A.It centered on fathers role in parenting.B.It was based on a

33、number of large families.C.It analyzed different kinds of parenting styles.D.It aimed to improve kids achievement in school.2.What would an authoritative father do when raising his children?A.Ignore their demands.B.Make decisions for them.C.Control their behaviors.D.Explain the rules to them.3.Which

34、 group can be a focus of future studies according to the researchers?A.Single parents.B.Children aged from 11 to 14.C.Authoritarian fathers.D.Mothers in two-parent homes.4.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Three Characteristics of Authoritative FathersB.Key Skills for Young Adu

35、lts to Succeed in FutureC.Children Tend to Learn Determination from FatherD.Family Relationship Influences School Performance二、七选五5. Homework is made up of out-of-class activities and at-home activities teachers assign to students. It can include practice assignments that emphasize newly acquired sk

36、ills._ Projects that have to be worked on in agreement with schoolwork also form a part of homework._ For example, to complete their homework in time, children start dividing their time into studying and playing, thus learning to complete their scheduled tasks within the time they have. They learn t

37、o do things on their own. They manage their time and complete their work independently. Homework can also help build up childrens confidence._ And those positive remarks can help develop students confidence and encourage them to keep up with their good work.

38、ance to learn from their mistakes and overcome their weaknesses.

59、。由第二段第三句Giving up spending for a year was an extreme approach, but I wanted to taste extreme frugality(节俭), shake up my spending patterns and overpay my mortgage(按揭) instead of shopping.可知,作者一年不支出的目的是体会极端节俭,彻底调整原来的消费模式,多付按揭贷款,故选B。3.细节理解题。由第四段第三句Living in London I have a wealth of free cultural activ

60、ities on my doorstep and Ive been to more art exhibitions this year than ever before.可知,作者在伦敦参加了更多免费的文化活动,例如艺术展览,故选C。4.推理判断题。由最后一段可知,作者在这一年中获得了自信和技能,做了很多事情,遇到了很多可爱的人,故选C项“它是有益处的”。2.答案：1-4.DAAB解析：1.推理判断题。文章第二段讲述了六年前,Josh提出四年的筹资期限,许多人怀疑他是否能达到100,000美元的目标,但这并没有动摇他的信念,他开始到处筹资。由此可以看出Josh是坚定的,不可动摇的,因此用det

61、ermined(坚定的)最恰当。故选D。A项“小心的”,B项“坦率的”,C项“思想开明的”,均不符合题意。2.细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的Four months before his deadline. The event raised $ 19,000,可知,在最后期限的前4个月,他仍缺少30,000美元,于是他决定在Uxbridge举办Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner,目的是实现他的目标,即筹集100,000美元。故选A。3.推理判断题。根据文章第四段可知,Josh的筹资梦想实现了,并且他决定要做更多,由此可推测画线部分表示“他收到持续的捐款”。故

62、选A。B项“他的项目变得更受欢迎了”以及C项“他从他的家庭得到更多的支持”,在文中均未出现。此外,由第四段内容可知Josh在截止日期前筹集到134,000美元,比预期的100,000美元要多,但是并不是画线部分所指内容,故D项“结果超出了预期”不符合题意。4.主旨大意题。根据文章第一段可知文章主要讲述了Josh Morrison梦想筹集100,000美元,为低收入家庭建造家园,他的梦想最终实现。B项符合文章主题,而且有新意,故选B。3.答案：1-4.CDBA解析：1.细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句It was the 9th day of Wuhan lockdown(封闭) starting

64、线词组在此处意为“活下来”。D项“幸存”符合文意。A项“成功”,B项“参加”和C项“到达”均不符合题意。故正确答案为D。3.细节理解题。根据第六段第二句中Most of the patients were really understanding可知,大多数病人能理解医护人员,B项“大多数病人理解医生和护士”符合文意;根据第四段最后一句可知,作者的病是由于细菌感染而不是新冠肺炎,因此A项“作者及其父母均感染了新冠肺炎”不正确;根据第六段第一句可知,他们(医生和护士)会工作一整天为新病人做准备,对于病人没有得到所需要的每样东西,感到非常抱歉。因此C项中“病人们向医生和护士道歉”的表述是不正确的;

65、原文第二段第三句中提到所有的证据都表明,这(新冠病毒)对于老年人来说是残酷的”,但并不是说病毒只能感染老年人,所以D项“作者没有感染新冠肺炎,因为病毒只能感染老年人”是不正确的。故正确答案为B。4.观点态度题。根据第五段最后一句中I could see how tired they were when I looked into their bloodshot eyes和第六段第一句They would work a whole day. that was needed.及第六段第二句中but all the doctors and nurses tried their best to dea

68、因,D项正确。3.推理判断题。由文章末段中Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence, which is an avenue of future research.可知,未来的研究将会关注单亲父母在教授毅力的好处方面仍然可以发挥作用。4.主旨大意题。本文是一篇科研报告类的说明文,文章第一段最后一句Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathe

69、rs are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn persistence.就报告了研究结果,所以C项合理。5.答案：GBCDA解析：这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了家庭作业给学生带来的益处:锻炼学生的时间管理能力、老师的积极评价帮助学生树立自信等,同时也指出家庭作业应当适当布置,否则就会变成一种惩罚。根据上文Homework is made up of out-of-class activities and at-home activities teachers assign to students. It c

70、an include practice assignments that emphasize newly acquired skills.可知,家庭作业由课外活动和教师分配给学生的家庭活动组成,它可以包括强调新获得的技能的实践作业;根据下文Projects that have to be worked on in agreement with schoolwork also form a part of homework.可知,家庭作业也包括与学校作业一致的活动。由此可推断此处也应介绍家庭作业的类型。上文中的assignments可对应到G项中的assignments,G项(它可以是准备作业,

71、使学生为课堂活动做好准备。)符合文意,故选G。本句位于段首,有总领全段的作用。后文介绍了家庭作业给学生带来的好处,如锻炼学生管理时间的能力和独立完成任务的能力,因此B项(家庭作业可以在多方面使学生受益。)符合文意。故选B。根据后文And those positive remarks can help develop students confidence and encourage them to keep up with their good work.可知,那些积极的评价有助于培养学生的自信心,并鼓励他们继续他们良好的表现。那些积极的评价就是指老师给学生的评价,对应C选项(老师对学生做的作

72、业给出评价。)。下文中remarks对应到C选项中的comments,指老师对学生做的作业给出的评价,上下文连贯通顺,故选C。根据本段第一句可知,此段讲的是家庭作业使学生从错误中吸取教训并克服缺点。根据前文It provides them with a platform to express what they know or have newly found, and exhibit their talents.可知,家庭作业给他们提供了一个表达他们知道或新发现的东西、展示他们的才华的平台。D项中的It also gives与上文中的It provides相呼应,且D项(它也让学生练习他们在

73、学校学到的东西。)与上一句共同构成下文These所指的内容。因此D项符合文意,故选D。根据上文The amount and difficulty level of homework assignments should match the ages and abilities of students.可知家庭作业的数量和困难度应该与学生的年龄和能力相匹配,故可推测下文是指如果不匹配,家庭作业就会成为惩罚。故选A。6.答案：1-5.CBABB; 6-10.DACDD; 11-15.DCACA解析：1.考查动词词义辨析。句意:说到礼物,我从来不是那种说“心意更重要”的人。A.帮助;B.麻烦;C.重
