三、阅读理解(本大题有15小题,每小题2分,共30分)(共3小题)
You may have heard of the famous saying, "East or West, home is the best." What does the word "home" mean to you? How do you say in French? In Chinese?
In your language? Although people usually know what the word means, it sometimes has no exact translation(翻译). It's not surprising, because the idea of "home" is different from country to country, and from person to person. A home is more than a roof(屋顶)and four walls. It's the cooking, eating, talking, playing and sleeping that go on inside. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.
Homes look different in different countries. They also have different things inside. For example, in cold northern Europe, there's a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it. In the south, where the sun shines a lot and it's more important to keep the heat(热)out, there are small windows and cool stone floors.
We asked some people about their homes. Here are the two people we interviewed.
How often do people move house in your country? "In my country many people don't stay in one place for a very long time. They often move every ten years or so." Cherry, Boston, USA. |
What a e features (特征) of homes in your country? "In Britain, even in town, there's always a garden. We have separate bedrooms and living rooms. But we don't often have balconies (阳台). The weather isn't warm enough!" Pat, Exeter, England |
Cody and his sister April wanted a dog. They went to an animal adoption center. A nice old man, Mr. Smith. greeted(问候)Cody and April.
"How can I help you?" he asked.
"We would like to adopt a dog," April said. "Ah, you have two dogs to choose from. One of them is a very big bulldog(斗牛犬)named Buster. The other is a very small Chihuahua(吉娃娃)named Teacup," Mr. Smith told her. April wanted Teacup. Cody wanted Buster. They walked outside to discuss(讨论)it, but they couldn't agree on which dog to get. April suggested they race (赛跑)home for it. The winner of the race would choose the dog. Cody thought it was a good idea.
So they had a race. Cody ran very quickly. He really wanted that bulldog. He looked back. April was so far behind him. Cody finally won the race. He was tired but happy.
They went back to the adoption center. However, they only saw Teacup, the Chihuahua. They asked Mr. Smith where Buster was Mr. Smith said that a few minutes after April and Cody left, two boys walked in and adopted the bulldog.
Cody smiled sadly, "We'll adopt the Chihuahua, please."
