【语篇导读】本文是两首简短的诗歌,深情地描绘了孩子与母亲之间深厚的情感纽带。
1. D 提示:细节理解题。根据第一首诗前两句"Sleep baby sleep, Your father tends the sheep."可知,sleep与sheep押韵。

3. C 提示:主旨大意题。第一首诗以温柔的语调哄孩子入睡,通过"父亲照看羊群,母亲摇梦之树的场景",寓意着家庭的和睦与安宁;第二首诗表达了对母亲的感激与依恋。由此可见,两首诗都是与家人和爱有关的诗歌。

B(2025南通如皋期中)
Family rules are important. They help your children to know what is and isn't OK in the family. But how can you make good family rules for your children? When making family rules, it's good to let your children join in. When talking about rules with them, they are more likely to follow them.
First, you need to tell your children what to do, not what not to do. For example, "Go to bed before 9:30 p. m.!" is good. "Don't go to bed late!" isn't.
Second, rules need to be clear for children to follow. For example, "Eat an egg every morning!" is good. "It's important to eat well!" isn't.
Also, it's good for you to write down the rules to help children remember them. For little children, you can draw pictures to help them understand the rules.
In short, family rules play a really important part in our family life. But sometimes we need to change family rules. For example, when your children get older, you can make rules about helping with housework. When you change rules, it's good to let your children join you in making changes to the rules.

A. Don't go out in the evening.
B. Don't wear your skirts to school.
C. It's important to get up early in the morning.

() 5. Why is it good to draw pictures about rules for little children?
A. Because drawing can help parents relax.
B. Because pictures are easy to understand.
C. Because pictures can make children happy.
D. Because pictures can help children make rules.
() 6. What's the right structure(结构) of the passage? (Paragraph 1=①, Paragraph 2=②...)
A. ①/②/③④⑤ B. ①②③④/⑤
C. ①/②③④/⑤ D. ①②③/④/⑤
() 7. What is the best title for the passage?

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了家庭规则的重要性,并就如何制定出切实有效的家庭规则给出了相应建议。
4. D 提示:推理判断题。第二段第一句"First, you need to tell your children what to do, not what not to do."指出,你需要告诉孩子应该做什么,而不是不应该做什么,A项"晚上不要出去"和B项"不要穿裙子去学校"都在告诉孩子不要做什么,故均排除;第三段第一句"Second, rules need to be clear for children to follow."指出,要给孩子制定清晰的规则来遵守,C项"早上早起很重要"属于笼统的表述,故排除;D项"每天早上听一个小时英语"明确告诉孩子要做什么,符合好的规则的标准。
5. B 提示:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句"For little children, you can draw pictures to help them understand the rules."可知,画图可以帮助小孩子们理解规则,意即图片容易理解。
6. C 提示:篇章结构题。通读全文可知,文章第一段总述家庭规则的重要性,指出制定家庭规则时让孩子参与的好处;第二、三、四段分别说明了制定规则的三点具体建议;第五段总结全文,说明家庭规则在家庭生活中的重要性,并建议家长在改变规则时让孩子参与。因此文章是"总①/分②③④/总⑤"的结构。
7. B 提示:最佳标题题。通读全文可知,文章首先指出家庭规则的重要性,随后就如何制定有效的家庭规则提出了三点建议:告诉孩子要做什么;规则要清晰;写下规则,最后指出如需改变规则要让孩子参与进来。由此可知,文章以"如何制定好的家庭规则"作为标题最合适。
