六、阅读理解
（2025 无锡澄要片期中）Classrooms are around a garden. Insects(昆虫) can live in the walls of the classrooms. . . If you could design your ideal school, what would it look like? What would you have in it?
Children at the Reggio School in Madrid of Spain turned their dream school into a real one. The designer Andrés Jaque wanted to build a different school. First, he talked to many children, teachers and parents about their ideas. The parents wanted things that could help with the children’s imagination(想象力). They also wanted their children to show interest in learning, as interest is the best teacher. The children hoped for things such as gardens or a school with no walls.
Then the building work began. The school principal, the teachers and parents all worked together with Jaque to build the school. “When we dream together, we can do amazing things!” said the school principal Eva Martín. She calls the four-year project a wonderful “journey”.
The school “grows” with the children. Small children start on the ground floor with a playground. Bigger children move higher up in the school. There is a special reading area outside the library. The top floors have classrooms around a green garden. Some small animals like birds live in it. There are also science labs with big windows. The windows look like big eyes and the walls are home to some insects.

A. It is amazing.
B. It is not strong.
C. It should be taller.
D. It took too much time to build.
2. Where do the senior(高年级) students have classes?

七、阅读回答问题
(2024 南通启东期中)I used to be a lazy girl, but now I am hard-working. Washing dishes, cooking and making the bed. . . all of these tasks have become part of my daily life.
The big change is the result of a new programme at my school. Starting from last term, our school has made housework part of its students' homework in order to improve our life skills. At the beginning of each month, every student gets a list of housework to do every weekend. Some of the tasks are quite specific (具体的), such as cleaning our closets (衣柜), washing cups and cooking food.
My best friend Wan Li, a 14-year-old girl, also learned some life skills through the programme. "I used to be afraid of fire," she said. But she managed to overcome (克服) her fear and complete her cooking tasks. At the same time, she has also realized how tired her mother gets after doing much housework every day.
On April 27, 2023, a middle school in Yunnan held a housework competition. Students had to complete many tasks, including cooking and folding clothes. They showed their skills and proved(证明) that they were growing up. The winner of the competition, Zhou Min, said, "I learn how to be an independent person by doing housework."
