四、阅读与表达(共4小题;41—43小题,每小题2分,44小题4分,满分10分)阅读短文,然后根据内容回答问题。Children and adults (成年人) don't always agree with each other. They often have different ideas about living. But in a special group in London, children and adults live together in a friendly way. Each summer 200 children and 50 adults live together for eight weeks. Everyone works for a few hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy. They want to find enjoyment (快乐) in work. Some children work in the forests or on the farm near the village and some learn to make things like tables and chairs. Adults teach them to do these things. There are a few free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. When they aren't busy, some of the children learn to take photos or draw and some sit around to talk or sing. All children choose their own ways to spend their free time. When people live together, they should have rules. In the group children and adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the group will talk about it. One of the children says, “We have to stop thinking only about ourselves. We need to learn how to think about others.”41. Where are children and adults in the special group from?42. How many people in the special group live together each summer?43. Why do children and adults work for some time every day?44. Do you think rules are necessary? Why? Write 30 words or more.
答案:41. London.
解析:根据文中“But in a special group in London, children and adults live together in a friendly way.”可知,这个特殊团体的孩子和成年人来自伦敦。
42. 250.
解析:文中提到“Each summer 200 children and 50 adults live together...”,200+50=250,所以总人数是250人。
43. Because they want to find enjoyment in work.
解析:根据文中“They do so not just to keep busy. They want to find enjoyment in work.”可知,他们每天工作是为了在工作中找到快乐。
44. Yes, I think rules are necessary. Rules help people live together in order. Without rules, people may do things freely and cause problems. For example, in the group, rules made by children and adults help them get along well. So rules are important for a harmonious group.
解析:首先回答“是的,有必要”,然后说明规则的作用,如维持秩序、避免问题等,结合文中团体的例子说明规则帮助他们友好相处,最后总结规则的重要性,符合字数要求。
