“Sarah, dear, time to get out of bed,” Mr. Hartwell said, poking his head through the bedroom doorway. “You don’t want to miss the first day at your new school, do you?” “I’m not going,” said Sarah, and pulled the covers over her head.
“Of course you’re going, honey,” said Mr. Hartwel. “No, I’m not. I don’t want to start over again. I hate my new school,” Sarah said. She tunneled down to the end of her bed.

Everyone is nervous the first day,” she said over her shoulder as Sarah rushed to keep up. When they got to the classroom, most of the children were already in their seats.
The class looked up as Mrs. Burton cleared her throat. “Class. Class. Attention, please,” said Mrs. Burton. When the class was quiet, she led Sarah to the front of the room and said, “Class, I would like you to meet your new teacher, Mrs. Sarah Jane Hartwell.”

In the bright moonlight, Jack is walking home. Suddenly, he finds a hawk (鹰) lying beside a box. Very curious, he begins to check it.
The hawk seems to be in pain. One of its wings looks broken, touching the ground. Its eyes look scared. So Jack takes off his T-shirt and wraps (包裹) it carefully round the hawk. Then he carries it home.
“I can’t take him into the house,” he thinks. “My mum doesn’t like animals in the house!”
Thinking for a while, Jack decides to hide the hawk in the garden shed (棚子). He secretly puts the hawk down on the floor with his T-shirt. Looking at the hawk, he says, “It’s your home now. Call you Falco, OK?”
After that, he goes back to his room. Unluckily, his parents are waiting for him. Finding his T-shirt missing, they get quite angry and don’t allow him to go out within a week. Jack goes to his room without any words, but he can’t fall asleep because he is worrying about Falco.
In the early morning, Jack takes some bread to feed Falco and goes back to his room secretly. After breakfast, Jack goes to the garden shed, holding a small bowl of water.
In the shed, he finds Falco sitting quietly in a corner, the bread still on the floor. Falco’s eyes are open, but not bright now. Jack puts the water in front of Falco. At first, Falco ignores (忽视) it, then he begins to drink. Jack sits quietly, looking at him, imagining Falco flying in the endless blue sky. But now he is trapped on the earth. “How can I help you return to the sky, Falco?”
When Jack leaves the shed, his brother Jim is waiting for him outside.
“What’s so interesting in the shed?”
“Nothing.”
“Tell me the truth, Jack. I think you haven’t forgotten my broken rocket!”
Finally, Jack has no choice but to tell his brother the truth. Jim becomes very excited.
“Jim, please don’t say anything to Mum and Dad. I can repair your rocket.”
“My rocket isn’t important, Jack. But Falco is!”
Then the brothers discuss how to feed Falco. They decide to get help from their friend Holly because she knows a lot about animals, birds and nature. Later, the brothers go to Holly. Holly advises them to feed some meat to Falco.
Over the next few days, Falco gets much better. He always eats the meat Jack and Jim bring him from the kitchen. Jack even digs up worms in the park for Falco. Falco loves them! His feathers look bright and shiny, too. But he still can’t fly.
One morning, Holly comes to see Falco. After watching it for a while, Holly says, “Falco is well enough to fly again!” Hearing this, they happily open the door, and watch Falco step into the sunlight slowly. Falco beats his wings and tries to fly in small circles, then in large ones. Suddenly, he makes a loud cry and flies away. Jack feels a bit sad, but he knows they are right.
One evening, Jack and Jim are sitting in their room. It is a cool and quiet evening. Suddenly, he hears a cry from far away. A familiar (熟悉的) cry. A bird is flying in circles across the sky. It’s Falco! Jack watches it fly, happy and wild.

【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我今晚真的很想去听音乐会,但是我有很多家庭作业要做。——你可以先完成你的家庭作业。如果你在八点之前完成家庭作业,我会让你去的。
考查条件状语从句。根据“If you…your homework before 8 o’clock, I…you go.”可知,此句是一个由if引导的条件状语从句,应遵循主将从现原则,从句用一般现在时表示将来,主句用一般将来时,所以从句用finish,主句用will let,故选A。

【详解】句意:请记住,“失败是成功之母。”并且我相信你在教学上会取得成功。
success成功,名词;succeed成功,动词;successful成功的,形容词。“Failure is the mother of...”中“of”是介词,后接名词,所以第一空填success;“you will be...in teaching.”中“be”后接名词或形容词,此处表达“在教学上取得成功”,用“be a success(在某方面取得成功)”或“be successful(成功的)”均可,但选项中只有“be a success”符合,所以第二空填a success。

“Of course you’re going, honey,” said Mr. Hartwel. “No, I’m not. I don’t want to start over again. I hate my new school,” Sarah said. She tunneled down to the end of her bed.
“How can you hate your new school?” Mr. Hartwell chuckled (咯咯地笑). “You’ve never been there before! Don’t worry. You liked your other school, you’ll like this one. Besides, just think of all the new friends you’ll meet.”
“That’s just it. I don’t know anybody, and it will be hard, and ... I just hate it, that’s all.”
“What will everyone think if you aren’t there? We told them you were coming!” “They will think that I am lucky and they will wish that they were at home in bed like me.” Mr. Hartwell sighed. “Sarah Jane Hartwell, I’m not playing this silly game one second longer.

Everyone is nervous the first day,” she said over her shoulder as Sarah rushed to keep up. When they got to the classroom, most of the children were already in their seats.

In the bright moonlight, Jack is walking home. Suddenly, he finds a hawk (鹰) lying beside a box. Very curious, he begins to check it.
The hawk seems to be in pain. One of its wings looks broken, touching the ground. Its eyes look scared. So Jack takes off his T-shirt and wraps (包裹) it carefully round the hawk. Then he carries it home.
“I can’t take him into the house,” he thinks. “My mum doesn’t like animals in the house!”
Thinking for a while, Jack decides to hide the hawk in the garden shed (棚子). He secretly puts the hawk down on the floor with his T-shirt. Looking at the hawk, he says, “It’s your home now. Call you Falco, OK?”
After that, he goes back to his room. Unluckily, his parents are waiting for him. Finding his T-shirt missing, they get quite angry and don’t allow him to go out within a week. Jack goes to his room without any words, but he can’t fall asleep because he is worrying about Falco.
In the early morning, Jack takes some bread to feed Falco and goes back to his room secretly. After breakfast, Jack goes to the garden shed, holding a small bowl of water.
In the shed, he finds Falco sitting quietly in a corner, the bread still on the floor. Falco’s eyes are open, but not bright now. Jack puts the water in front of Falco. At first, Falco ignores (忽视) it, then he begins to drink. Jack sits quietly, looking at him, imagining Falco flying in the endless blue sky. But now he is trapped on the earth. “How can I help you return to the sky, Falco?”
When Jack leaves the shed, his brother Jim is waiting for him outside.
“What’s so interesting in the shed?”
“Nothing.”
“Tell me the truth, Jack. I think you haven’t forgotten my broken rocket!”
Finally, Jack has no choice but to tell his brother the truth. Jim becomes very excited.
“Jim, please don’t say anything to Mum and Dad. I can repair your rocket.”
“My rocket isn’t important, Jack. But Falco is!”
Then the brothers discuss how to feed Falco. They decide to get help from their friend Holly because she knows a lot about animals, birds and nature. Later, the brothers go to Holly. Holly advises them to feed some meat to Falco.
Over the next few days, Falco gets much better. He always eats the meat Jack and Jim bring him from the kitchen. Jack even digs up worms in the park for Falco. Falco loves them! His feathers look bright and shiny, too. But he still can’t fly.
One morning, Holly comes to see Falco. After watching it for a while, Holly says, “Falco is well enough to fly again!” Hearing this, they happily open the door, and watch Falco step into the sunlight slowly. Falco beats his wings and tries to fly in small circles, then in large ones. Suddenly, he makes a loud cry and flies away. Jack feels a bit sad, but he knows they are right.
One evening, Jack and Jim are sitting in their room. It is a cool and quiet evening. Suddenly, he hears a cry from far away. A familiar (熟悉的) cry. A bird is flying in circles across the sky. It’s Falco! Jack watches it fly, happy and wild.
—Adapted from Jack’s Endless Summer

阅读下面短文,并用英语回答问题 (请注意每小题后面的词数要求)
When Sarah Cooper was 14, everybody at her school knew her. Was she the best student? The star of the football team? The best performer in the school play? None of those things. She was named as the most promising chef (最有前途的主厨) on a popular cooking show in the US.
Flynn McGarry was another kid chef on the show. He was famous as “the Justin Bieber of food” because he had so much talent at age 12. He even opened a restaurant in New York City. Just like Sarah and Flynn, there were many other kids on cooking shows.
So how did cooking start to rise (兴起) and become so popular with kids?
In the old days, people thought of cooking as a boring chore, just like doing the dishes and cleaning the house. Only people who wanted to be wonderful chefs were interested in cooking.
But things became different little by little. Cooking shows became popular in America at the beginning of the 21st century (世纪). Many kids watched these shows with their family. Some kids became stars on the shows. At the same time, online cookbooks and cooking videos made it easy to learn how to cook. At last, more and more kid chefs were born.
