一、根据汉语意思写单词。
1. Mary put two (勺) of sugar into the milk shake just now.
2. The old (夫妻) are living happily in the countryside.
3. Hainan is a beautiful (岛). You can enjoy fantastic views there.
4. They politely shook hands and then went their (分开的) ways.
5. I was (出生) in Beijing, but I am living in Hangzhou now.

1. spoons 2. couple 3. island 4. separate 5. born

1. 表示“勺”的单词是spoon，空前有数词two，需要用名词复数形式，two spoons of 是固定搭配，意为“两勺……”。
2. 表示“夫妻”的单词是couple，the old couple 指代这对老夫妻，和句中复数的谓语搭配一致。
3. 表示“岛”的单词是island，空前有不定冠词a，使用名词单数原形即可。
4. 此处需要形容词修饰后面的名词ways，“分开的”对应的英文是separate，go their separate ways 是常用表达，意为“各走各的路”。
5. 表示“出生”的常用固定搭配是be born in，意为“出生在某地”，此处填born。

二、用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空。
6. It's better to drink much (boil) water when we have a fever.
7. Husbands and (wife) should always respect and care for each other.
8. Look! There is an old man (cross) the street. Let's go and help him.
9. How many (slice) of bread do you need?
10. Next, pour the (mix) into a bowl.

6. boiled
7. wives
8. crossing
9. slices
10. mixture

6. 此处修饰名词water，需要用形容词，boiled water是固定常用表达，意为“煮沸过的水、开水”，因此将boil变为形容词boiled。
7. and连接并列的对等成分，前面的Husbands是名词复数形式，wife也要变为复数形式wives，和前面的复数对应表泛指。
8. 此处用到固定句型There is sb. doing sth.，意为“有某人正在做某事”，和提示词Look呼应，体现动作正在发生，因此cross变为现在分词crossing。
9. how many后面必须接可数名词的复数形式，slice的复数变化为slices。
10. 定冠词the后面需要接名词作动词pour的宾语，动词mix对应的名词形式是mixture，意为“混合物”。

三、选词填空。

Last Friday, my aunt came to visit us. To welcome her, I decided to cook the hot and sour soup, a traditional dish in our family. But I was not good at cooking, so I asked Mum for help. Following my mum's 11. , I started cooking.
First, I 12. everything necessary for making the soup. I washed and 13. the vegetables. However, the kitchen soon became a 14. : there were bowls, spoons, and ingredients here and there! Luckily, everything still went smoothly with the help of my mum. She taught me how to control the 15. of the oven. "16. the fire is too high, the soup will burn," she reminded me. I 17. stirred (搅拌) the soup while it was cooking, watching the bubbles rise slowly.
When the soup was ready, I poured it 18. a large bowl. The sour smell, mixed with the freshness of herbs (香草), made my mouth water. My aunt took a taste and smiled. "The sweetness of family time is even 19. than the soup!" she said. It was really an unforgettable experience with my family.

11. instructions 12. prepared 13. cut up 14. mess 15. heat 16. If 17. carefully 18. into 19. better

本题考查选词填空，需结合语境、时态、固定搭配和词形变化选择正确形式：
11. 固定搭配follow one's instructions表示“按照某人的指导/说明”，此处用instruction的复数形式表多条操作指引；
12. 描述过去发生的动作，用prepare的过去式prepared，表示准备好做汤所需的所有材料；
13. 和washed并列作谓语，用cut up的过去式cut up，表示洗完蔬菜后将其切碎；
14. 固定搭配a mess表示“一团糟”，符合后文厨房物品到处乱放的语境；
15. 此处表示控制烤箱的热度，用名词heat符合语境；
16. 此处是if引导条件状语从句，意为“如果火太大，汤就会烧糊”；
17. 修饰动词stirred需用副词，careful的副词形式carefully，表示小心地搅拌；
18. 固定搭配pour...into...表示“把……倒入……”；
19. 句中出现than表比较，用good的比较级better，表示家庭时光的美好甚至胜过汤的美味。

四、阅读理解。
“Tammy! Come here, please! I need your help in the kitchen,” Tammy’s father called out to her.
Tammy was in her room, getting ready to do her homework. “Yes, Daddy!” she replied. “I’ll be right there.”
She hurried out of her bedroom and down the hallway. She was only nine years old. Her elder sister, Ella, just moved away to go to a performing arts high school in another city. Her brother, Harry, was in a middle school and always got home late. With Ella leaving home, Tammy had to do a lot more than she did before, especially now, because her mother was ill.
Her father was in the kitchen. “Tammy, I know you usually do your homework right now, but with things being different, we all have to change a little bit. I’ll help you and Harry with your homework later on, OK?”
Her father wore an apron（围裙）over his clothes, and he looked kind of funny. He was doing the dishes and he always splashed（溅）water all over when he did that. After helping her father with the dishes, Tammy helped to clean the table.
After dinner, her father helped her and Harry with their homework. Then Tammy and Harry played a board game together so that their father could lie down for a while.
The next morning, Tammy got up early on her own because she wanted to make breakfast for her parents. She made orange juice and even put bread in the toaster（吐司炉）and got out the butter so that her parents could sleep for a few more minutes.
When her parents got up half an hour later, they were very surprised and moved to see the breakfast on the dining table. They gave Tammy a big hug.
“Thank you, Tammy. You are really our little helper now, aren’t you?”

20.C 21.C 22.D 23.A

20题：根据文章第三段内容"Her elder sister, Ella, just moved away to go to a performing arts high school in another city."可知，Tammy的姐姐搬到另一个城市去上艺术高中，学校离家很远，因此搬出了家，其余选项的内容在文中均无依据，故选C。
21题：根据文章第五段内容"He was doing the dishes and he always splashed water all over when he did that."可知爸爸洗碗的时候总把水溅得到处都是，说明他不太擅长做家务；总是晚回家的是Tammy的哥哥Harry，文中没有提到爸爸严肃、非常喜欢玩桌游的相关内容，故选C。
22题：梳理故事顺序：Tammy首先帮爸爸洗碗④，晚饭后在爸爸的帮助下完成作业①，之后和哥哥一起玩桌游③，第二天早上早起为家人准备早餐②，正确顺序是④①③②，故选D。
23题：全文围绕Tammy在妈妈生病、姐姐离家后主动分担家务，成为家里的小帮手展开，结尾父母也称赞Tammy是他们的小帮手，A选项最贴合文章主旨；文章没有介绍Tammy的校园生活，家里一共只有三个孩子，D选项表述过于宽泛，不能精准概括核心内容，故选A。
