garden,” Dad said with a smile, “but I want to give him a sweet surprise. He always says store-bought fruit is
sweet, too.”
When they arrived at Grandma and Grandpa’s house, Grandpa was waiting at the door. “Welcome! I made
your favorite tomato soup.” he said. Tom ran to him and gave him a hug. “I brought chess, Grandpa!” he said. Lily

them a place to work in, like their bedroom or playroom.

what the reward will be before they start cleaning.

through
An Mingzhong, a 12-year-old boy from Sichuan, used to be lazy. He
41
did any housework
before. But now, chores like washing the dishes, cooking and folding the clothes have become part of
42
daily life.
The
43
change is the result of a new program at his school. Starting from last term, Dazhou
No.1 Middle School has made doing housework part of its students’ homework after school. It hopes to
44
students’ life skills.
Each month, every student gets a list of housework to do every weekend. Some of the housework seems
45
but difficult for students to do well in fact. On Mother’s Day, for example, students need to prepare gifts
for their
46

Day last year, she

五、任务型阅读（10 分）
请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容回答问题。
My family has always had family dinners, as far as I can remember. When I was a little boy, my mother
began to ask us to attend family dinners at least once a week. Every Sunday, my mother would buy a lot of food
and bring it to my grandma’s house. We would wait for more family members to come before eating together at
the table, my grandma’s dinner table. In the past, I felt that was a silly (愚蠢的) tradition.
However, I find it’s fantastic to get together as a family now. For me, dinner is not just a meal, but a good
chance to talk and play with family members. We can talk about everything after a long week of school and work.
Every time I sit at the dinner table, my grandma’s dinner table, I look around and find so many people who truly
love me. It makes me feel so happy.
Finally, I understand the true meaning of this tradition. It’s not about the dinners or activities. It’s about
family members, a group of people who care about each other.
All the memories (记忆) around my grandma’s dinner table will last forever. Now, I’m always expecting
Sunday to arrive.
51．How often do the writer’s family members get together for dinner?
52．What did the writer think of the family dinner in the past?
53．What does the writer think of the family dinner now?
54．What’s the true meaning of this tradition?
55．Do you like family dinners? Why or why not?
六、短文填空（10 分）

卷的相应位置。
My family is small but warm. Are you
56
