Students from Taizhou Middle School, Jiangsu Province, experience farming during their labor (劳动) course. As we all know, the life skills like cooking and painting are important and should be taught as part of labor education.
On June 3, 2020, the Ministry of Education (MOE) (教育部) gave a document (文件) showing the revised curriculum (修改后的方案) for senior high schools across the country. Labor education includes housework, school labor and community voluntary (志愿的) services and so on.
“Labor education must be carried out (实施) with the purpose to make the right view (观点) of the world, life and values and develop an interest in doing chores,” said Vice-Minister of Education Zheng Fuzhi.
According to China Youth Daily, the labor course will take six credits (学分)—the same as foreign language and physics. Voluntary service, as part of labor education, would take two credits. The MOE also asks schools to make sure 40 hours of voluntary service during the full three school years.
According to Xinhua, adding labor education was out of care that the country’s young people do too little housework and that they think labor jobs aren’t important. Because of a lot of school pressure, schools pay more attention to the course of education, and parents may think that the chores waste their kids’ time.
According to a survey, middle school students in China only spend 12 minutes a day on chores, compared with 72 minutes in the US, 42 minutes in South Korea and 30 minutes in France.
However doing housework does not distract (使分心) young people. Instead, they are necessary for developing a strong working spirit, according to Julie Lythcott-Haims, the writer of How to Raise an Adult. “The earlier you started, the better…”, he said.
26. If you ________, you can get the credits of the labor course.
A. do homework B. do volunteer work C. go traveling D. learn to drive a car
27. What did Zheng Fuzhi talk about
A. The time to carry out labor education. B. The way to carry out labor education.
C. The purpose to carry out labor education. D. The place to carry out labor education.
28. Who spend the most time on housework
A. Students in China. B. Students in America.
C. Students in South Korea. D. Students in France.
29. What did Lythcott-Haims think of doing housework
A. Difficult. B. Popular. C. Important. D. Comfortable.
30. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Parents should learn the life skills.
B. Labor is as important as foreign language.
C. Young people should pay attention to the course of education.
D. It’s necessary for the students to develop strong working spirits.
【答案】26. B 27. C 28. B 29. C 30. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了教育部重视劳动教育，将劳动教育课程纳入普通高中课程中。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Voluntary service, as part of labor education, would take two credits.”可知，如果你做志愿者工作，你可以得到劳动课程的学分。故选B。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Labor education must be carried out (实施) with the purpose to make the right view (观点) of the world, life and values and develop an interest in doing chores,”可知，郑富芝讲的是实施劳动教育的目的。故选C。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据“According to a survey, middle school students in China only spend 12 minutes a day on chores, compared with 72 minutes in the US, 42 minutes in South Korea and 30 minutes in France.”可知，美国学生花在做家务上的时间最多。故选B。

The boy walked to the river and came back with a bowl of water. The old man asked him, “②Did you notice the beautiful flowers along the road and the birds singing in the trees ” The boy could say nothing about them because he paid much attention to the bowl in his hands. The old man smiled and said, “Bring me another bowl of water and enjoy the flowers and the singing of birds.”
When he came back, the boy could describe everything he had seen to the old man. But when he looked at his bowl, he found most water was gone. He forgot all about his bowl when he enjoyed the beautiful things along the road.

Did助动词，无实际含义；you“你”；notice注意到；the beautiful flowers along the road“路旁美丽的花朵”；and“和”；the birds singing in the trees“树上唱歌的鸟儿”。故填“你注意到路旁美丽的花朵和树上唱歌的鸟儿了吗？”
【45题详解】
根据最后一段“Enjoy the beauty of the world, but never forget your dream in your heart. This is the secret of happiness.”可知我们要欣赏世界的美，但是不要忘记心中的梦想，这是幸福的秘诀。故填Enjoy the beauty of the world, but never forget your dream in your heart. This is the secret of happiness.

Students from Taizhou Middle School, Jiangsu Province, experience farming during their labor (劳动) course. As we all know, the life skills like cooking and painting are important and should be taught as part of labor education.
On June 3, 2020, the Ministry of Education (MOE) (教育部) gave a document (文件) showing the revised curriculum (修改后的方案) for senior high schools across the country. Labor education includes housework, school labor and community voluntary (志愿的) services and so on.
“Labor education must be carried out (实施) with the purpose to make the right view (观点) of the world, life and values and develop an interest in doing chores,” said Vice-Minister of Education Zheng Fuzhi.
According to China Youth Daily, the labor course will take six credits (学分)—the same as foreign language and physics. Voluntary service, as part of labor education, would take two credits. The MOE also asks schools to make sure 40 hours of voluntary service during the full three school years.
According to Xinhua, adding labor education was out of care that the country’s young people do too little housework and that they think labor jobs aren’t important. Because of a lot of school pressure, schools pay more attention to the course of education, and parents may think that the chores waste their kids’ time.
According to a survey, middle school students in China only spend 12 minutes a day on chores, compared with 72 minutes in the US, 42 minutes in South Korea and 30 minutes in France.
However, doing housework does not distract (使分心) young people. Instead, they are necessary for developing a strong working spirit, according to Julie Lythcott-Haims, the writer of How to Raise an Adult. “The earlier you started, the better…”, he said.
26. If you ________, you can get the credits of the labor course.
A. do homework B. do volunteer work C. go traveling D. learn to drive a car
27. What did Zheng Fuzhi talk about
A. The time to carry out labor education. B. The way to carry out labor education.
C. The purpose to carry out labor education. D. The place to carry out labor education.
28. Who spend the most time on housework
A. Students in China. B. Students in America.
C. Students in South Korea. D. Students in France.
29. What did Lythcott-Haims think of doing housework
A. Difficult. B. Popular. C. Important. D. Comfortable.
30. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Parents should learn the life skills.
B. Labor is as important as foreign language.
C. Young people should pay attention to the course of education.
D. It’s necessary for the students to develop strong working spirits.

The old man asked him, “②Did you notice the beautiful flowers along the road and the birds singing in the trees ” The boy could say nothing about them because he paid much attention to the bowl in his hands.
