B “Gavin!” called Mr. Capshaw. “We’re ready to go. Are you coming?” Gavin walked slowly down the stairs. Finally he joined his parents at the door. “I’m ready,” he sighed (叹气). “This will be fun. I know you’ll enjoy the performance (演出),” Mrs. Capshaw said. “After that we might even meet Dad’s college friend Joseph. He has a lead role in the show. ” The Capshaws walked toward the subway station. “I don’t even like ballet (芭蕾舞),” Gavin said. “Not all dance is ballet, Gavin,” said Mr. Capshaw. “The show we’re going to see tonight is modern dance. But there are many other kinds of dance, too—tap dance, jazz dance, break dancing, square dancing, the tango, the waltz. I’d like you to keep an open mind on this. ” Gavin sighed again. “Okay, Dad. I’ll do my best. ” About 45 minutes later, the Capshaws arrived at the theater. Gavin looked around while he waited for the performance to begin. He couldn’t believe how many people there were in the theater. Suddenly, the lights went off, and the audience began to clap (鼓掌). Once the performance began, Gavin forgot about everything else. He gave his full attention to the performance. The performers made the moves look so easy, but he could tell it was much more difficult than it appeared. After the performance, Gavin’s parents asked him what he thought. “That was amazing. I’m glad we came,” he replied. They then went to meet Joseph, who was excited to see them. “Is it a lot of work to prepare the show?” Gavin asked Joseph. Joseph smiled. “I’ve never worked so hard in my life,” he said, “but I’ve also never had so much fun. Are you a performer, Gavin?” Gavin looked at Joseph and shook his head. “Do you think dance is something you’d like to try?” asked Joseph. “You seem very pleased with tonight’s show. The performing arts center is only a few blocks (街区) from here, and they offer a beginner’s class in modern dance. I know some of the teachers there. I’d be happy to introduce you if you’re interested. ” Gavin smiled widely. “When can I start?” he asked. 14. Which of the sentences shows that Gavin didn’t want to see the dance show? A.

C Every month, Julia and her cousins would go for the big family meal at their grandparents’ house. On each visit, their grandpa would give them a few coins. Then all the children would run off to buy sweets. One day, he gathered the children together. He said, “Let’s have a competition to see who can manage money wisely. At the end of this year, tell me how you’ve used your money.” Ruben and Nico, the two smallest kids, continued spending their money all on sweets. Every time, they would show off their sweets in front of the other children. This made Clara and Joe so angry that these two could no longer keep saving their money. They soon joined Ruben and Nico. Monty was a clever boy. He decided to manage his money by buying and selling things. Soon he made a lot of money with little effort. The way he was going, he would end up almost a rich man. However, he began to spend his money on more and more expensive things for himself. A few months later, he didn’t have a single coin left. Alex saved and saved all the coins he was given, and at the end of the year he had collected more money than anyone. He was the clear winner. There was also Julia. She spent all her coins on her secret plan. Julia knew a poor violinist who played in the park, and she offered him all the coins for his violin lessons. Although it wasn’t much money, on seeing Julia’s excitement, the violinist agreed. After a year the violinist loaned her a violin so they two could play together in the park. They were so successful that she managed to buy her own violin. Even better, she later became a very famous violinist. 18. Why did the children’s grandpa suggest the competition to them? A.

A happy family 第四部分：任务型阅读 （共4小题；第32小题1分，第33、34小题每题2分，第35小题3分，共8分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。 Can a cricket (蛐蛐) really tell you the temperature outside? Do fish know if it’s going to be a cold winter? You may hear that groundhogs (土拨鼠) can predict the end of the winter. Some of the sayings, like “If a cat sits with its back to the fire, hard weather can be expected.”, may sound unbelievable, but some may be true. Many animals do have stronger senses than humans. Do animals tell us when a storm is coming? Birds react to the drop in air pressure (气压) before a storm by flying low. Insects stay close to the ground and wolves howl because their ears can sense the pressure change. A good rule is that when animals act strangely, we probably should be careful with the environment around us. Do you know the sound of crickets’ chirping (鸣叫) can tell you how hot the day is? Crickets are cold -blooded, so when the temperature in the air changes, the cricket’s body temperature changes with it. As the temperature rises, the cricket’s metabolism (新陈代谢) increases. When the heat rises, crickets chirp. To get the exact temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (°F), count the number of chirps in 14 seconds, and add 40. Do you have a tried and true weather animal that predicts the weather? 22. Why can some animals know the weather changes? ____________________________________________________ 23. When should we be careful with the environment around us? ____________________________________________________ 24. What can we learn about the animals from the passage? ____________________________________________________ 25. What is the best title for the passage? ____________________________________________________ 第五部分 情景交际 （共5小题， 共10分） A: Hello, Peter. B: Hello, Li Ming. You look happy today. Why?
