1 . "Could you load(把碗碟放入)the dishwasher?" How many times have we asked our teenage children to do a chore(家务活)and found later that it was done so poorly that we have to finish the job?     1     Kate Kelly, author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Parenting a Teenager, has some suggestions.

    2    

Don't expect teens already know how to do something. Kelly says."We left my teenage daughter alone for a few days.     3     What a mess!" If you explain a chore, you will probably find it's been done well.

Use the team method.

Kelly says, "We do so much for our kids.     4     "So, according to Kelly, when teens do something like cleaning the floor, they enjoy giving something back to the family."And always remember teens should be thanked and praised."Give one task at a time.

If you can’t stand how clothes are always being left on the floor, don’t let your teens got away with it .    5    Tell them that if they keep throwing their clothes on the floor, they won’t be allowed to see their friends at the weekend, and that’s it.

Keep chores gender-neutral(不分性别的).

Don't leave all the kitchen chores for daughters, and jobs like washing the car or fixing things for sons.

A．Explain the job.

B．Remember to say thank you.

C．However, she had no idea how to separate rubbish.

D．Watering the plants can be a good way of relaxation.

E．We drive them everywhere, and help with their homework.

F．Few parents are happy with the way housework is done by their teenagers.

G．Make them pick the clothes up, but don’t add on other chores at the same time

2 . 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

“Nothing will ever be the same again,” Ally said to herself.

Ally's father died last summer. It wasn't fair, Ally thought. Dad was young and had never been sick. Why had his heart suddenly stopped? Ally sank slow into her father's favorite chair and looked at his picture on the bookcase. Ally smiled. “I miss you, Dad,” she said softly.

At this moment, she felt a hand smoothing her hair and looked up. “Why don't you come outside with me, Ally?” her mother asked. “The birds are nesting in the woods. By this time last year you'd already taken dozens of pictures.”

But her mother must know birdwatching wouldn't be the same this year. How could it be? Ally wondered. Ever since she could remember she and Dad had been a team, searching the woods for the special wood warbler (林柳莺). “I'll be out in while, I promise,” she answered.

After her mother left, Ally reached for the photo album she and Dad had put together. On the cover was a photo of a tiny yellow bird with blue-gray wings and black eyes. Dad cut it from a local newspaper. Ally smiled, remembering the excited look on Dad's face when he showed her the pretty bird.

“I can't believe someone spotted this little guy way up here in New Jersey,” he said. “Wood warblers are usually found in the south, not this far north. I bet if we search really hard, Ally, we'll see this little guy together someday.”

Ally closed her eyes. She loved thinking about the times she and Dad had spent searching the woods for the little bird. They'd never spotted the warbler, but her father had an amazing way of making each outing seem special. He was her best friend.

3 . Do Dolphins Have a Language?

We know that dolphins make unique sounds, but is that a language? If you’re interested in it, you are welcome to the activity recommended by Denise Herzing!

About Denise Herzing

Denise Herzing of Florida Atlantic University (FAU) is the organiser and research director of the Wild Dolphin Project, which has a goal of understanding dolphins’ social system, behaviour, and communication. For over thirty years, she has spent each summer watching Atlantic dolphins carefully in the Bahamas.

Activity Guide:

Purpose:

Dolphins use sound to communicate, but they can’t make sounds in the way we humans make. Out of the water dolphins can make different sounds by changing the shape of their blowhole (呼吸孔), which is similar to changing the shape of our own mouths. Underwater, though, they use a totally different system, and they make sounds without letting any air out. You can learn more about how that works here. In this activity we’re going to try to talk like a dolphin.

Materials:

Nothing! But find a partner, maybe a brother or sister or a parent — or if you have one, a dog or cat. After all, this activity is about communication between humans and animals.

How To Do It:

Take a deep breath, hold your nose to keep it shut, and try to communicate with your partner. If your partner is a pet, try saying its name or asking it to “come here”.

When you’re done, think about what made it hard, what solutions you found, and think why dolphins may have developed to communicate in this way.

Then listen to sounds from all kinds of sea animals and compare your dolphin sound to theirs.

1. What can we learn about Denise Herzing?

A．She holds the activity in FAU.

B．She is an expert in dolphins.

C．She wants to find a partner for her research.

D．She fell in love with dolphins when young.

2. What would you have to do for the activity?

A．Have a pet next to you.	B．Keep breathing deeply.
C．Talk with your nose closed.	D．Compare dolphins with other animals.

3. Where can the text be found?

A．In a diary.	B．In a report.
C．In a travel brochure.	D．In an activity book

4 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。

It was a pleasant morning. Meena was leaning out of her window and feeding the birds. The roads were empty because of COVID-19 lockdown. Just then a strong blow of wind came and Meena saw something flying in the air from distance. “Is it a kite?” Meena thought. As it came closer, Meena saw that it was a mask.

Curious to know where the mask came from, she ran to catch the mask and finally ran to the beach nearby. The mask fell into the sea water. As Meena looked around, she saw many masks floating in the sea and lying on the beach. She wondered where they came from.

Suddenly Meena heard a low voice nearby so helpless as if crying out for someone for help. She went closer to the voice – it was a huge turtle from the sea, with something stuck into his mouth. Apparently the turtle was choking (噎住) and in great pain. Meena moved closer to him, without wasting any time pulling it out of his mouth – it was a mask! The turtle finally recovered from the pain and seemed to express relief from his eyes as if to say “thank you” for her kindness.

Meena was sad to see so many masks thrown around. Just then she saw a man dumping rubbish here, with many single-use masks poured out. “Stop!” she screamed. “Please don’t throw the waste here. The turtle might swallow the mask again and fall sick!” The man stopped at once. He was sorry for his actions and decided to help clean the beach. He called a few people from the village to help them clean it. In no time the beach was free of rubbish.

Meena was happy and couldn’t wait to go home and tell her mother about it. Her mother was very proud of her, and told her the importance of throwing single-use masks into a rubbish bin so that animals wouldn’t swallow them. Yet Meena was still worried. She didn’t want the turtles to fall sick again due to people’s ignorance.

5 . If someone were to ask me what it is like to be a student in today’s society, I would probably answer: Being a student in today s society is not always easy.

Adults often tell us that we don’t know what stress is. But we have our own levels of stress. Many students in their high school years start their part-time job, so now you have school in the mornings, followed by responsibilities needing to be taken care of at home and then you’re off to work. By the time you are done there, you are too tired to finish your school work, but you stay up late to try and return to school feeling sleepy the next day. What good is that?

My point is, it is a whole lot more stressful to be a student in high school than adults believe. Our “stress” may not include paying bills or taking care of a family, but I’m sure if the adults in our lives could go back to school today, they would be surprised at how much it has changed.

I don’t want you to think for a minute that there aren’t good moments and memories while we are students at school. My mom always tells me to enjoy it while I can. I know that the world outside of school is often hard and that the responsibilities are serious. That’s exactly why I know that the focus I give to my future is important in leading me to a career that will allow me to contribute to society.

1. What is the text mainly about?

A．The stressful life of high school students.	B．The way of dealing with stress of study.
C．The role of students in today’s society.	D．The differences between teenagers’ and adults’ life.

2. What does the author think of students’ working part-time?

A．He thinks it does them good.	B．He feels disappointed at it.
C．He thinks it is worth a try.	D．He is favor of it.

3. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?

A．Adults are more stressful than students.

B．Adults have not fully understood students’ stress.

C．Adults should help students to deal with stress.

D．Adults should go back to school to experience students’ life.

4. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?

A．Stress.

B．Study.

C．School life.

D．Future career.

7 . Their beautiful call suggests the arrival of spring, but the routes taken by cuckoos(杜鹃) during their annual migration(迁徙) have remained a mystery. Now, though, scientists from the British Trust for Omithology(BTO) have revealed the details of their remarkable 10,000-mile journey, with the help of tracking devices.

Five male birds were caught in Norfolk last May and fitted with satellite-tagged “backpacks’’ before being released. The scientists then monitored their progress over 12 months as they flew to Africa in the autumn, and returned in the spring.

The project was carried out to discover why every year fewer of the birds return to Britain. Between 1995 and 2010，the population of cuckoos spending summer here fell by almost half, and the number is continuing to decline. Previously, the lack of information about the cuckoos’ long migration has hampered the understanding of how to help conserve the birds.

Earlier this year, it was reported that cuckoos arrived in the UK much earlier than normal. Their call was recorded by ornithologists(鸟类专家) as early as February, a month ahead of their usual arrival.

Like all migrating animals, cuckoos respond to the changing seasons. They depend on lush plants to provide the fruit and food for insects that they feed on. This reliance on seasonal patterns means that a changing climate could make an already challenging journey impossible for them.

1. What is the main purpose of the project?

A．To track cuckoos’ 10,000-mile journey.

B．To better understand the habits of cuckoos.

C．To find out what happens during cuckoos’ journey.

D．To discover why the population of cuckoos is declining.

2. The underlined word “hampered” in Paragraph 3 probably means________.

A．prevented

B．deepened

C．improved

D．affected

3. When do cuckoos usually arrive in Britain?

A．In January.

B．In February.

C．In March.

D．In April.

4. Cuckoos arrived in the UK much earlier than normal probably because of________.

A．1acking food	B．changing climate
C．changing routes	D．cold spring in the UK

8 . Lots of people dream of a beach vacation, but hesitate to take one because they don't want to leave a pet behind.     1     You can enjoy some fun in the sun on a beach vacation with your pet. It is easier than ever to find a beach that welcome your pets, and a little extra planning and preparation is all that is required to have a wonderful time on vacation with your pet.

    2     Use the Internet to determine whether a beach is pet friendly. You can look at a beach's website, lists of pet-friendly beaches where you will be traveling. They will tell you about any rules on pets at the local beaches.

Find a hotel that is pet-friendly. Most hotels that accept pets will advertise themselves as pet-friendly on their websites.     3     It's better to know if your pet will be welcome before you make an order.

Clean up after your pet. When vacationing with your pet it doesn't mean that all responsibility is gone. Picking up after it, whether that is when it goes to the bathroom or it makes a mess with its food, is still your responsibility.     4    

Be considerate of others.     5     Some people are scared of animals, especially children, so just be aware of other animals and people on the beach and keep your pet away from them if necessary.

B．Make sure you choose a beach that allows pets.

C．However, there is no need to settle for a pet sitter.

9 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

One morning, my family and I woke up and went to eat breakfast——until we heard barking and scratching at the door. When my mom opened the door, we saw a puppy(小狗). We looked around to see if we saw its owner, but there was no one. We took it inside and fed it.

Regardless of how badly I wanted to keep the puppy, we decided to look for the owner. We looked all day, but we failed. We talked about whether we should keep looking or if we should look the next day. We all agreed to look for its owner the next day.

So, the next day my family and I looked for the dog's owner. It was so hard looking for its owner. We were looking for flyers(传单)that involved the puppy, but no luck. We wouldn't have quit because it's a puppy.

“We won't stop looking,” my mom and dad said. We were going to take care of the puppy until we found its owner.

When we woke up in the morning, we went to a pet shop to buy the puppy some dog food. After that we went back home to feed the puppy the dog food that we had just bought. After we fed the puppy, we gave it a nice bath. It was so dirty that the fur was black and sticky, but after we gave it a bath, it turned white.And I noticed there was a collar (狗项圈)on him, which said “Coby”. After we gave him a bath, we went to look for the p uppy's owner, but my mom stayed at home, and it was only my dad and me this time.

We continued looking more and more until we found flyers. “We looked at it.”it said.

“Lost Dog: Please Help if Found.” Then we looked at the picture;it looked exactly like Coby. We were all happy we found a flyer that was for Cody.
