Activities for Families with Children
If you get a vacation to spend with your children but have no idea what to do, you and your children can have great fun in the following amazing activities around Cusco, Peru.
Horse riding
Many children long for an opportunity to ride a horse and get close to animals.

If you enjoy local food, taking a cooking class with your children will be fun.

Hot air balloon ride
A hot air balloon ride will give you great views of the city. The balloon goes up about 200 meters when weather conditions are OK, less when it is windy. The balloon will stay at that altitude for about 10 minutes. Price is $20 for an adult, half price for children.

Ranjan and Sumer were good friends. They went to the same school and were in the same class.
Ranjan was not strong. He could not play football or other games with boys of his age. All that he did was to watch Sumer and other boys play. He usually went with them to the playground. When they ran off to play, he would sit under a tree and read storybooks. Books became his best friends. Reading made him successful in all the exams. He always stood first in the class.
Sumer was tall and strong. He spent most of his time running, swimming or riding bicycles. He was an extremely good player in every game. He was a member of the school's football team and cricket team. The PE teacher thought he would make it big in the game when he grew up.
One day, the two friends went for a walk. Ranjan got tired soon.
“I have no strength. What is the use of all this knowledge if I am not healthy I would give away all my knowledge if I could be half as healthy and strong as you,” said Ranjan.
Sumer was surprised and replied, “So you are not happy with yourself too I always wished I could have done as well as you did in the studies. I even thought I could have given away my sporting skills for better grades in those exams. ”
The two friends looked at each other and cried out at the same time, “The grass looks greener on the other side of the hill.”
24.What did Ranjan usually do when he went to the playground with Sumer
A.He read his favorite books.

The landscape of parents staying at home is changing, challenging old ideas about who takes care of the children. While moms usually did this in the past, a recent study by Pew Research Center shows more dads are staying at home. Over the last 30 years, the number of dads staying at home has gone up from 11% in 1989 to 18% in 2021.
Economics are the most significant part of this change. As women do better in school—with 53.1% of adults with a bachelor's degree being women—and get better jobs, families are thinking about different ways to share responsibilities. Women are getting better paying jobs, like in medicine and law, making some families decide that having the dad at home and the mom as the main earner is the best choice. Chris Braaten from California knew his wife, with a higher degree, could earn more, so he happily stayed at home.
The wish for one parent to stay at home often matches what both partners want. Many dads, not happy with their jobs, find more joy in taking care of their children. Spending meaningful time with family and feeling satisfied often matter more than staying in the workforce.
The high cost of childcare is also making parents think differently. Childcare can be very expensive, ranging from $4,810 to over $15,000 per child each year. This leads some families to consider new ways, like having the dad stay home, to handle these costs.
Cannon Ingalls and Jeff Carlson show this too. Ingalls, moving from Missouri to Minneapolis, chose his wife's better-paying job over his own. Carlson in Colorado found that most of his salary was going to childcare, so he decided to stay at home to avoid money stress.
As the idea of parents staying at home continues to change, economic factors, along with new thoughts about gender(性别) roles and a wish for more meaningful family time, are making more dads choose to stay at home.
28.How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed
A.By sharing stories of dads staying at home.
B.By presenting data over the past three decades.
C.By comparing the income of different families.
D.By stressing the benefits of women's education.
29.What mainly contributes to more stay-at-home dads
A.Social expectations in today's society.
B.Fathers being dissatisfied with their jobs.
C.Changing preferences in family structures.
D.Changes in women's education and economic roles.
30.Why are Cannon Ingalls and Jeff Carlson mentioned in the text
A.To serve as typical examples.
B.To show their close relationship.
C.To show their different personalities.
D.To provide some background information.
31.What is a suitable title for the text
A.The Decline of Traditional Gender Roles
B.The Growing Trend of Stay-at-Home Dads
C.The Challenges Faced by Working Mothers
D.The Effects of Traditional Parenting Methods
D
“There's no place like home.” This English saying has much truth in it: the best place to be is surrounded by our treasured possessions and our loved ones and with a roof over our head. And for many young adults, it's the only affordable place to stay and somewhere where they can receive first-class service from Mum and Dad. But this comes at a price!
In some countries, it's quite traditional for people in their late teens and early 20s to live at home with their parents, but in other places, flying the nest to start their own independent life is very desirable. But there's been a growing trend, in the UK at least, for young people to return home to live, or not to leave home at all.
A survey by a price comparison website found that 18% of adult children in the UK said they were moving back home because of debt, compared with 8% last year. More young people had lost their jobs, and some couldn't afford their rent compared with the previous year. So, it's easy to see why they're increasingly becoming home birds.
The BBC's Lucy Hooker explains that many returning adult children enjoy home comforts. But for the “hoteliers”, the Mum and Dad, the survey found their average cost has gone up sharply, and that they are sacrificing luxuries and holidays to look after their “big kids”. Emma Craig from Moneysupermarket says, “They're trying to look after their children more. If your children come home and you see them struggling financially, you feel more awkward asking them for rent or to contribute. It tugs at your heartstrings more. ”
With parents splashing out around £1,886 on takeaway food, buying new furniture and upgrading their Wi-Fi for the benefit of their offspring, it's easy for the returning children to put their feet up and make themselves at home. That's before they learn a home truth—that one day it might be their own kids who'll be checking into the hotel of Mum and Dad!
32.Which proverb could present the young British's living conditions
A.A lazy youth, an awful age.
B.East or west, home is the best.
C.Two heads are better than one.
D.Nothing comes wrong to a hungry man.
33.Which could be the reason for the increase of home birds
A.The popularity of living independently.
B.Looking after their old parents.
C.The increase of the unemployment rate.
D.Their parents' financial offer.
34.What's Emma Craig's attitude towards home birds
A.Doubtful. B.Uncertain.
C.Objective. D.Understandable.
35.What can we learn from the last paragraph
A.Returning to live with parents comes at a price.
B.Parents are willing to receive their returning children.
C.Flying the nest is becoming popular at present.
D.Home birds take it for granted to live with their parents.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is well known that humans need meaningful social connections. 36 The stronger our relationships are, the more likely we are to live better. So how do we deepen friendships in our lives
Shower your friends with affection. We often think of affection as love we show in romantic relationships. But affection is more than holding hands and kissing. 37 There are many ways you can show love to your friends. Tell them how much they mean to you. Remind them you are grateful to know them. These simple acts provide security in the relationship.
38 Being generous with them is an easy way to develop your friendships. If you're a gym rat, you could help your friends train for a coming race they have. Or if your friends are applying for a university, you can use your research and analysis skills to put together a presentation for them.
Share your joy, struggles and even guilt. Think about how good it feels to tell a friend you secretly like a boring TV show and hear them respond “me too”! 39 Many people hold the view that it can be scary to be open with our feelings. It can come with the risk of shame or rejection. But people are less likely to reject you for being weak than you think.
Don't hide your disagreements. It's hard to deal with conflict in friendships. People often see them as something that should be fun and lighthearted, so they ignore problems when they arise. 40 It might be painful at first, but it shows you want to be honest with your friends, and that you want to make your relationship better.
A.Tell your friends how much you value them.
B.Value your friends with your skills and talents.
C.It's about communicating love and appreciation.
D.In fact, they're linked to our mental and physical health.
E.It means they accept us for who we are, the good and the bad.
F.People feel hurt when someone doesn't keep their private information.
G.But dealing with conflict in a healthy way can deepen your friendships.

Tears 50 my eyes and I thought in 51 about how much my mom must love me to give 52 her Christmas present so I could have a few more.

One afternoon after school, Mary and her brother, Keith, were eating at a cafe near their home. That afternoon, they had to share their table with another person. That person was a young lady in her twenties. After eating, she went to the restroom. Without realizing, she had left her cellphone on the table. Five minutes later, she came out and walked out of the cafe without looking back.
Mary saw the cellphone on the table. She quickly told Keith, “Keith, the girl left behind her cellphone.”Keith looked at the cellphone. It took his breath away. It was one of the latest models on the market. Keith had always wanted a cellphone. But his parents had told him, “You don't need one. You can always use the house phone.” He stared at it for some minutes. Then, he said slowly, pausing on every word, “I want to take the cellphone.” Mary could not believe her ears. She only stared at her brother, “You can't! What if the owner comes to look for it ”
After making the decision, Keith quickly got the cellphone and put it in his schoolbag. Then, he took Mary's hand and led her out of the cafe quickly.
Once back home, Keith locked his room door with trembling (颤抖的) hands. Inside his room, he took out the piece of beauty. Oh, he liked it so much. He had his own cellphone. Soon, he was polishing it happily. But Mary told him, “Keith, you cannot keep the cellphone. What will you tell our father about this He will ask you how you got the cellphone.” Keith said quickly, “I will say a friend lent it to me.” Mary said, “Now you are lying too. Oh dear! When had Keith turned so dishonest ”
Then, Mary saw a house phone number on the cover of the cellphone. “This is the girl's phone number. Why don't we just call the girl We will talk to her and ask her to come and take back her cellphone,” she was trying to talk some sense into him.

40.G 根据上文“People often see...so they ignore problems when they arise.”和后文“It might be painful at first, but it shows you want to...better.”可知,上文提到人们经常会忽视问题,后文提到这样做一开始会感到痛苦,但这表明你想真诚地对待你的朋友,想让友谊更好,结合选项可知,G项“但是以健康的方式处理冲突可以加深你们的友谊”符合语境,指出要处理冲突及其好处。故选G。

第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了天井这一中国传统住宅典型设计的地理分布、作用、历史和现状。
56.traditional 考查形容词。本空修饰名词home,故应用形容词traditional“传统的”作定语。
57.smaller 考查形容词的比较级。根据“and”后的“less exposed”并结合语境可知,此处将天井与中国北方的院子进行比较,应填形容词的比较级。
monly 考查副词。本空修饰“are seen”,故应用副词commonly,意为“通常,常常”。

63.a 考查冠词。空后名词“gathering space”表示泛指,gathering的发音以辅音音素开头,故应用不定冠词a。
64.have existed 考查时态和主谓一致。根据时间状语“for hundreds of years”可知,本空应用现在完成时。主语sky well buildings是复数,所以谓语应用复数,故填have existed。

However, he was feeling sorry for the owner. When he thought how sad the young lady would be at the loss of her cellphone, he was full of guilt and shame. The next morning, after a long and restless night, he was determined to return the cellphone to the owner. After school, he told Mary, “I am going to phone the owner.”
Mary was very happy to hear that. Back home, they phoned the owner's house phone. A girl answered the phone. Keith asked, “Are you the owner of the cellphone I'm Keith. I have your cellphone. Can you come and get it ” The girl replied “Yes” excitedly, expressing her gratitude repeatedly. Ten minutes later, she was at the same cafe to meet Keith.
