As an exchange student, I have been staying in a host family in Beijing for the past five months. The parents are   36  in their mid-30s and the son just turned 5. In exchange for room and board, I teach their son   37 .
Like in many of the other Chinese families, he’s an only child. And though he has   38 plastic trucks and boxes full of crayons, I don’t know   39  he has the time to play. When he’s not in the kindergarten, he’s taking after-school classes. On the weekends, the boy goes to more classes. He has one day off―Sunday.
Compared to his schedule, I feel like my childhood was   40  a waste of time. I learned how to climb trees and draw cartoons. I wasn’t learning Chinese at his age. But he and lots of other children are learning English. Both his parents dream that he will have   41  jobs, higher pay, and bigger houses.
The boy seems to take no interest   42  learning English. He doesn’t need a teacher, but a playmate. He is,   43 , only 5. When I think about my life as a 5-year-old, I know for sure I wasn’t half as   44  as he is.
In the evening, when his parents   45  him to speak with me in English, he gets   46 . He lies on the floors, hides under the table and climbs on the furniture. When he finally stops   47 , and starts talking, it isn’t in English, but it isn’t in Chinese,   48 . He speaks in his own language.
He   49  not be a very good student, but I’m not a great teacher. I just want to be his big brother   50  can speak in gibberish(胡言乱语) with him and help draw trucks, robots or spiders.

解析

小题1:考查不定代词。both和either指两者;all和none指三者以上的人或物。作者住在北京一户人家住了五个月。那家的主人都是35岁左右。Both指“两者都”故选A。
小题1:根据第三段可知,作者住的那家的孩子跟其他孩子一样,也在学英语。故作为交换,作者教小孩英语。故选C。
小题1:考查数词的用法。Hundred、thousand等与数字连用时不能用复数,且不与of连用。表示虚数时,单独使用,可以用复数,且与of连用。故选B。
小题1:孩子放学要上补习班,周末上更多的课。故作者说不知道何时才有时间玩那些玩具。故选A。
小题1:hardly“几乎不”;never“从不”;usually“通常”;almost“几乎;差不多”。A、B表示否定;C指频率。作者认为自己的童年几乎是在浪费时间。故选D。
小题1:后半句用的都是比较级,故此处用比较级。即“更好的”工作。故选C。
小题1:take interest in sth.“对......感兴趣”;故选B。
小题1:考查短语辨析。after all“毕竟,终究”;at all“根本”;first of all“最重要的是”;all the time“一直”。句意“毕竟他才5岁”,故选A。
小题1:考查as... as的用法。as... As中的第一个as是副词,第二个是连词。中间用形容词或副词的原级。故选D。
小题1:make/have/let后加动词原形,排除A、C、D;push“推”,小孩不情愿,父母硬要他说英语。故选B。
小题1:小孩发脾气在地上打滚,乱躲藏,B、C表示的是好的情况;D“受伤的”;A“沮丧的”。故选A。
小题1:“停止做某事”用stop doing sth.;stop to do sth.是“停下去做另一事”。故选C。
小题1:小孩说的语言既不是英语,也不是汉语;而是他自己的语言。否定句用either表示“也”。故选D。
小题1:考查情态动词表推测。Can“可能”;may“可能”;must“一定”;may的可能性没can大;may not意为“可能不”,此处语气比较舒缓,“就算孩子不是一个好学生,我也不是一个好老师。”故选B。
小题1:考查定语从句。Brother是先行词,指人用who/whom,who作主语;whom作宾语。故选A。

举一反三
One afternoon, my son came home from school and asked me, “Are all people the same even if their skin color is different?” I thought for a moment, then I said, “I’ll explain. Let’s go to a fruit store first. I have something interesting to show you.”
At the store, I told him that we needed to buy apples. And we bought some red apples, green apples and yellow apples.
After we got home, I told Adam, “It’s time to answer your question.” I put one of each type of apple on the table: first a red apple, followed by a green apple and then a yellow apple. Then I looked at Adam, who was sitting on the other side of the table.
“Adam, people are just like apples. They come in different colors, shapes and sizes. See, some may not even look as delicious as others.” As I was talking, Adam was examining each one carefully.
Then, I took each of the apples and peeled them, placing them back on the table, but in a different place.
“OK, Adam, tell me which one is the red apple, the green apple and the yellow apple.”
He said, “I can’t tell. They all look the same now.”
“Take a bite(一口) of each one. See if that helps you tell which one is which.”
He took big bites, and then a huge smile came across his face. “People are just like apples! They are all different, but if you take off the outside, they’re pretty much the same on the inside.”
“Right,” I agreed. “Just like everyone has their own features but they are nearly the same.”
He completely got it. I didn’t need to say or do anything else.
Now, when I eat an apple, it tastes a little sweeter than before. What perfect fruit it is!

A.supperB.his questionC.a partyD.a present

小题3:After Adam took big bites, he found they         .

A.people are much the same even if their skin color is different

Disasters happen all the time somewhere in the world. Are you ready if one hits your neighborhood next week? Find out what you need to do now before it is too late. Let’s take an earthquake for example.
During an earthquake, get under a strong object like the kitchen table. Don’t leave the building during the shaking, or you might be hurt by falling objects from the outside of the building.
When you are in bed during the night and an earthquake happens,simply roll off the bed. There will be a safe void around the bed.
If you are watching TV and you cannot easily run away by getting out through the door or window, then lie down and curl up(蜷伏) next to a sofa, or a large chair.
Never go to the stairs. The stairs are likely part of the building to be broken. Even if the stairs are not destroyed by the earthquake,they may fall down later when people run down.
Try to get into an open area away from trees,buildings,walls,advertisement boards and power lines if you are outdoors.
If you are driving when an earthquake suddenly happens,just stay in your car until the shaking ends. However, if the footbridge falls and breaks your car,get out of it and sit or lie next to it. All the broken cars have voids 3 feet high next to it.
小题1: What should you do if you are in a building when an earthquake happens?
A.Rush out quicklyB.Sit in the kitchen
C.Stay below strong objectsD.Go down the stairs
小题2:The underlined word “void” in Paragraph 3 means“_______”.

小题3: When you are outdoors during an earthquake,you should go to _______.

小题4: If you are inside a car when there is a sudden earthquake,you should _______.

 Yesterday I was shopping for a few items(物品).With nothing to do at home, my son, who just left university, was ready to go together with me.
As I pushed the basket towards the register(收银机),I checked my items to see how many I had, thinking I might go to the Express Line(快速通道)where the sign said“Ten items or less”.
I started to go to that line and my son said,“Mon, you have twelve items!”I said,“You know, but they’re close.” He said,“Why are you in such a hurry to get home? You should go to the Regular Line because you have over ten items.”
Knowing he was right. I agreed and then pushed the basket to the next line. So I was waiting for my turn there and I was just removing my items from the basket to pay for them when a young man came up behind me in line with two items.
I just left the Express Line because I had too many and now I really wanted to get finished. Again, my son came up.“Mom, he has only two items and the Express Line is very long now. Won’t you just let him go first?”I agreed, and the young man smiled widely and thanked me several times.
It felt good to be with my son and have him remind me not to live a hurried life. Do what’s right and also be kind. I really take pride in him.
