So, my question is why fill up all this free time with housework？Parents expect their children to get good grades, be good at sports, and be popular with other kids.However，there is not enough time in the day to do these things and then do housework as well. Its not fair to expect teenagers to give up their precious time to do boring housework. Parents and children both have jobs. Parents jobs are in the work-place. Their childrens jobs are at school.The only difference is that parents get paid and children dont. Parents say that they make their kids do housework to teach them responsibility. But this is just a trick. Parents trick their kids into doing housework because they are lazy.Yours,OverloadedLetter BBoth parents and children have jobs. The parents job is to go to work to earn money. The childrens job is to go to school. But we all get hungry. Someone has to cook the meals and clean up afterward. We all wear clothes that get dirty. Someone has to wash them, iron them, and put them away. Children work from 9 until 4. Parents work from 8 until 6. Sure, after 4 oclock, children have homework. But after 6, parents have homework too. They have to do the shopping, go to the bank, pay the bills, and help their kids with their own homework!I think its only fair that teenagers help out a bit at home. They might not like it, but its good for themIt teaches them how to look after themselvesThis is really useful when they leave home to go to college or to live on their own.（1）Who most probably wrote Letter B，a parent or a child?（2）Why does Letter B say its good for teenagers to help out a bit at home?（3）The two letters agree that parents and children both have jobs，dont they?（4）Do you agree that children should do housework at home? Why or Why not?四、 写作部分 (共4题；共20分)16. （5分）写出空缺处各单词的正确形式，每空只写一词。Toms mother gives three_ pandz to him every week.17. （5分）根据短文内容，用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，每词限用一次。 one play lesson learn fullJoy: Hi, May, are you free next week?Mary: Hmm, next week is quite _for me.Joy: Really?

He gave a confident performance of traditional Syrian songs. “We only heard the sound of a mortar ( 迫 击 炮 ). It fell near us. Many buildings fell down. That is all I remember,” said Youssef. “Music makes me forget everything. Music is the most important thing.”Basma, director of Action for Hope, said the music school offers strength to the children who suffer (遭受) from the war. They can find a good way to express themselves and stop thinking of themselves as refugees.“Art gives strength. It comes from the ability to create,” Basma said. “People who are in difficult conditions need this strength much more than the rich.”（1）Why did Youssef and his family lose their home? （2）How many children were chosen to take part in the concert? （3）Was Youssef a lead singer in the concert? （4）文中划线单词 “They”指代的是_（5）请给短文拟一个适当的英语题目。 五、 书面表达 (共1题；共5分)20. （5分）以“The Hero in My Heart”为题，写一篇不少于80词的短文。 提示：可以谈论一下你心中的英雄是谁(比如亲人、朋友、老师或名人等)；他(她)有什么样的事迹或故事；你喜欢他(她)的原因及应该怎样向他(她)学习。第 13 页 共 13 页参考答案一、 单项选择 (共10题；共20分)1-1、2-1、3-1、4-1、5-1、6-1、7-1、8-1、9-1、10-1、二、 完形填空 (共1题；共15分)11-1、三、 阅读理解 (共4题；共35分)12-1、12-2、12-3、13-1、13-2、13-3、13-4、13-5、14-1、14-2、14-3、14-4、15-1、15-2、15-3、15-4、四、 写作部分 (共4题；共20分)16-1、17-1、18-1、19-1、19-2、19-3、19-4、19-5、五、 书面表达 (共1题；共5分)20-1、
