2. 根据思维导图内容填空，将短文补充完整。

. Sometimes she
. Tom’s sister

.
答案：four; often; does; exercise; reads; books; usually; flies; kites; sometimes; plays; Chinese chess
解析：
首先数思维导图里的家庭成员：Tom、Tom的妈妈、Tom的妹妹、Tom的爸爸，一共4人。再对照图中标注的星数和频度副词的对应规则：5颗星对应always，4颗星对应usually，3颗星对应often，2颗星对应sometimes，同时注意一般现在时中主语是第三人称单数时，谓语动词要变为第三人称单数形式，结合对应人物的周末活动即可补全短文。
先填写你家人的周末活动表格，然后两人一组，互相询问。
答案： 参考表格填写：
| 人物 | always | usually | often | sometimes | never |
| ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- |
| Mum | cooks nice food for my family | cleans our house | goes to the shopping centre | watches cartoons with me | plays ball games |
| Dad | gets up early | goes running in the park | plays basketball with his friends | goes to the cinema | washes clothes |
| I | finish my homework first | read English storybooks | play with my cat | have a picnic with my family | swim in the river |
互动问答示例：
A: What does your mum do at weekends?
B: She usually cleans our house.
A: What does your dad do at weekends?
B: He often plays basketball with his friends.
解析：
这是一道结合生活实际的开放性口语实践题，目的是巩固本单元所学的频度副词always（总是）、usually（通常）、often（经常）、sometimes（有时）、never（从不）的用法，我们可以结合家人真实的周末活动，用已学的简单动词短语完成表格填写，再用给出的句型两两互动问答即可。
