1. M: Emma, your family is from two countries, right
W: Yes! My mom is Chinese—she works in a hospital helping sick people. My dad is Canadian—he makes delicious Western food in a restaurant.
M: That’s so cool!
W: Tom, your uncle works near the airport. What does he do
M: He’s a mechanic—he checks and fixes planes to make sure they’re safe.
W: I thought he was a pilot!
M: Lucy, how does your family celebrate Chinese New Year
W: We do traditional things, but my dad (from America) adds Western fillings to dumplings—like cheese! We still give red envelopes too.
M: That sounds fun!
W1: Li Na, who is this man in your photo
W2: He’s my uncle—my mom’s brother. He works in Beijing as a PE teacher.

M: Sarah, you look stuck on your family tree project. What’s wrong
W: I mixed up my two grandpas—one is my dad’s dad (lives in Chengdu), the other is my mom’s dad (lives in Xi’an). I also forgot what my aunt does!
M: Don’t worry. The teacher said you can ask your parents to help: take photos of each grandparent, and let them write “dad’s dad” or “mom’s dad” on the back. For your aunt’s job, just call her—she’ll be happy to tell you.
W: That makes sense!

M: I’m the grandfather—I tell my grandkids why we eat mooncakes and watch the moon.
W: That’s nice! Did you change anything about the play
M: Yes! We added an ending: the family video calls their grandma in America, so she can join the celebration too. Our teacher said it shows “family love across distance”.
W: That’s a great idea!
三、听短文，选择最佳答案（每小题 2 分，共 10 分）
Lin Hao has a pen pal named Anna. She lives in Canada with her Chinese mom and Canadian dad. Anna’s family is a cross-cultural family—they have both Chinese and Canadian traditions.
Anna’s mom is from Shanghai. She wants Anna to remember Chinese culture. Every weekend, she teaches Anna to cook Chinese food: dumplings for Chinese New Year, zongzi for Dragon Boat Festival. She also tells Anna stories about Chinese history. Anna’s dad is from Toronto. He loves Canadian football. On Saturdays, he and Anna watch football games together and make Canadian popcorn. They also practice languages—Anna teaches her dad Chinese, and her dad teaches her English slang.
Last year, Anna went to a Chinese New Year party with her mom. At first, she was nervous—she didn’t know how to say “Happy New Year” in Chinese. But her mom taught her “Xin nian kuai le”, and she made friends with other kids. Now, Anna loves her cross-cultural family. She says, “I get to enjoy two cultures—it’s like having two homes!”
Lin Hao wrote this story to share with his class. He wants his classmates to know that families can be different, but love is the same everywhere.

笔试部分（共 95 分）
一、阅读理解（共 50 分）
（一）选择题阅读（每小题 2 分，共 40 分）
A
My name is Maya, and I have a cross-cultural family: my mom is Chinese, and my dad is Mexican. Every festival in our family is special—we mix traditions from both cultures. Last Mid-Autumn Festival was the most memorable one yet.
A week before the festival, my mom started preparing. She bought mooncakes with red bean filling (my favorite) and taught me to make lanterns with red paper. My dad wanted to add Mexican touches, so he made “mooncake-shaped” empanadas—they were filled with sweet corn and cheese. I laughed and said, “They’re like Mexican mooncakes!”
On the day of the festival, my grandma (mom’s mom) came to visit from Beijing. She brought a big box of traditional mooncakes and told me stories about how she celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival as a kid. “We would sit in the yard, watch the moon, and listen to my dad’s stories,” she said. My dad translated the stories into Spanish for my little brother, Leo—he’s only 5 and doesn’t understand much Chinese.
In the evening, we went to the backyard. My mom hung the red lanterns, and my dad lit small candles around the table. We ate mooncakes and empanadas together. Leo held up his lantern and said, “I want to show this to my friend Carlos!” My grandma took out her phone and video-called my uncle in Mexico. He waved and said, “Feliz Festival de la Luna!” (Happy Moon Festival in Spanish).
At the end of the night, I looked at my family: my mom and grandma talking in Chinese, my dad and Leo playing with the lantern, and everyone smiling. I realized that family isn’t just about sharing one culture—it’s about sharing love. This Mid-Autumn Festival taught me that mixing traditions can make moments even more special.

Family structures vary (不同) from country to country. Understanding these differences helps us respect diverse family forms. The chart below compares three common family structures.
Family Type Key Features Examples Advantages
Nuclear Family Parents + their children (no grandparents/aunts/uncles living together). Most families in America, Canada, and urban China. Small and easy to make decisions. Parents can focus more on kids’ education.
Extended Family Parents + children + grandparents (sometimes aunts/uncles/cousins) living mon in rural China, India, and Mexico. More people to help with chores and childcare. Kids learn to share and respect elders.
Single-Parent Family One parent (mom or dad) + children (due to divorce, death, or choice). Found in all countries—growing in Europe and America. Kids learn independence early. Parent and kids often have a close bond.
Nuclear families are the most common in big cities. For example, in Shanghai, many young parents live in apartments with their kids—grandparents may live in the same city but not the same house. This structure lets parents have more freedom to plan family activities, like weekend trips. However, it also means parents have to do all childcare and chores alone.
Extended families are important in many traditional cultures. In rural Sichuan, China, a family may have three generations living in one house: grandparents grow vegetables, parents work in nearby towns, and kids help with small chores like feeding chickens. This structure shares the workload—grandparents look after kids while parents work. It also keeps traditional skills alive, like making handmade noodles or weaving.
Single-parent families face unique challenges but also have strengths. In the UK, a single mom may work and take care of her two kids, but she and her kids often talk more openly—there’s no need to “hide” feelings. Kids in single-parent families often learn to cook or clean at a young age, which makes them more independent.
No matter the structure, all families have one thing in common: they provide love and support for each other. Understanding different family types helps us see that “family” is not just one shape—it’s about the people who care for you.

In many families, parents do most chores—cooking, cleaning, washing clothes—while kids focus on studying. But some people argue that kids should help with chores too. Is this a good idea In my opinion, yes—kids helping with chores benefits both the family and themselves.
First, helping with chores teaches kids responsibility. When a kid is in charge of setting the table every evening, they learn that their actions matter. If they forget, the family can’t start dinner on time. This helps them understand that everyone in the family has a role to play. For example, my little sister used to forget to feed our dog, but after her mom told her it was her “job”, she never forgot again. She learned that the dog depends on her.
Second, chores help kids develop life skills. Cleaning, cooking, and folding clothes are skills they will need when they grow up and live alone. A kid who learns to cook simple meals won’t go hungry when their parents are away. My cousin learned to wash dishes at 8—now he’s 12 and can even cook eggs and tomatoes for himself. These skills make kids more independent and confident.
Third, chores bring families closer. When everyone works together—mom cooks, dad cleans, and kids set the table—they spend time together and talk. This creates happy memories. Last weekend, my family cleaned the house together. My dad told jokes while we dusted, and my mom taught me how to fold clothes neatly. We finished quickly and felt proud of our clean house. It was more fun than doing chores alone.
Some people say, “Kids are too busy with homework—they don’t have time for chores.” But chores don’t have to take long. Even 10 minutes a day—like making their bed or putting away toys—is enough. Others argue, “Chores are parents’ job, not kids’.” But family life is a team work—everyone should contribute.
In short, kids helping with chores is not a waste of time. It teaches them responsibility and life skills, and brings families closer. Parents should let kids try small chores—they will thank you when they grow up.

A family interview is a great way to learn about your family’s history—you can ask grandparents about their childhood or parents about their first job. Here’s how to design one:
First, decide on the interview topic. 36 Common topics include “grandparents’ school life”, “family traditions”, or “parents’ first trip together”. Choose a topic that interests your family—this will make the interview fun.
Second, make a list of questions. 37 For example, if the topic is “grandparents’ school life”, your questions could be: “What did you learn at school ” “Did you have homework ” “Who was your favorite teacher ” Avoid yes/no questions—ask open questions that let them talk more.
Third, prepare interview tools. 38 You’ll need a notebook and pen to write down answers, or a phone to record the interview (ask permission first!). You can also bring photos—showing a old photo may help them remember stories.
Fourth, choose a good time and place. 39 Pick a time when everyone is free, like Sunday afternoon. Choose a quiet place, like the living room—no TV or loud music. This helps everyone focus.
Finally, after the interview, organize the answers. Write down the stories in a notebook or type them on a computer. You can even add photos to make a “family history book”. This book will be a precious gift for your family.
A. Questions should be about your chosen topic and easy to understand.
B. Don’t choose a topic that is too sad or private for your family.
C. You don’t need to prepare anything—just ask questions freely.
D. A noisy place with many people is not good for an interview.
E. Tools help you record the interview so you won’t forget important details.
40. What topic will you choose for your family interview Write one open question about it. (Answer in one sentence.)

Dear Future Me,
I hope you’re doing well. Today, I want to write about my family—so you won’t forget these precious moments when you’re older.
Right now, my family lives in a small apartment in Chengdu. My mom is a teacher—she 66 (teach) Grade Three. Every evening, she helps me with my Chinese homework. My dad is a mechanic—he 67 (fix) cars, but he always makes time to play basketball with me on weekends. My grandma lives with us—she 68 (cook) the best longevity noodles. I 69 (learn) to make them from her last month, and I can now make simple ones!
We have a small tradition: every Sunday morning, we go to the park together. Dad flies a kite, mom takes photos, and grandma and I feed the ducks. Last week, we 70 (see) a family from Canada—they were playing frisbee. We talked to them, and their little girl taught me how to say “duck” in English. It was fun!
I know when you’re older, things 71 (change). Maybe you’ll live in another city, or grandma won’t be with us anymore. But I hope you’ll remember: family is not just about living together—it’s about 72 (love) and supporting each other.
Please keep our family traditions alive. Make longevity noodles on grandma’s birthday, and go to the park on Sundays if you can. Also, don’t forget 73 (call) mom and dad every week—they miss you even if they don’t say it.
Last year, we made a family album. It has photos of our trips, festivals, and even my first time making noodles. I 74 (put) it on the bookshelf in my room—please take good care of it.
Remember, no matter how busy you are, family is the most important thing. I hope you’re still as close to your family as you are now.
With love,
13-Year-Old You
P.S. If you have kids, teach them to make longevity noodles. Tell them the stories about grandma—they 75 (love) them!
