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.

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.

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.

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?

C 【解析】 【分析】短文大意：本文是议论文，针对一些年轻人喜欢日本漫画书、看韩剧、甚至庆祝西方节日等奇怪的倾向，作者阐述了自己的看法：外国文化可以去欣赏和学习，但不能忽略中国的本土文化。正所谓"别处的东西不见得比你所在的地方的东西好"。 【1题详解】 句意：这是英语中的一句谚语。 考查名词辨析。A.单词；B.谚语；C.句子；D.规则。根据“The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence.”（篱笆那边的草看起来更绿）可知这是一句古老的英国谚语，故选B。 【2题详解】 句意：这意味着其他地方往往比你住的地方看起来更好，更有趣。 考查关系词辨析。本句是定语从句，that可指人指物；when指时间，做时间状语；where指地点，做地点状语。介词+ which一般在定语从句中分别做时间、地点、原因状语，因此可以分别用when, where, why代替；但若介词+ which不是作时间、地点、原因状语，则不能用when, where, why代替。本句先行词place表地点，而than用于比较，根据句意语境可知place不做地点状语，而是比较状语，不可用where引导，需用“介词+ which”。live in居住，故选D。 【3题详解】 句意：一些人担心中国的年轻人开始有这种感觉。 考查宾语从句。that无实义，可省略；if是否，表示有疑问；why为什么，表原因；whether是否，表示选择或怀疑，多与or not连用。根据句意语境，可知BCD三项意思都不合句意，故选A。 【4题详解】 句意：他们看到中国年轻人不关注中国文化，相反，他们买日本漫画书，看韩剧，甚至庆祝西方节日。 考查副词辨析。A.然而，用于句首表转折；B.除了；C.而不是；D.那么。根据上文They see young Chinese paying no attention to Chinese culture and可知空白处后面所列都不是中国文化，故选C。 【5题详解】 句意：外国的书和肥皂剧很好，但是中国的作家和演员也一样好。 考查连词辨析。A.和，表并列；B.所以，表结果；C.但是，表转折；D.或者，表选择。本句前后是转折关系，根据句意结构和语境，可知选C。 【6题详解】 句意：至于节日，圣诞节是美好的，但它永远不能有春节的意义。 考查副词辨析。A.还是/仍然；B.从来没有；C.总是；D.曾经。根据中西文化不同，结合下文and the West has nothing to compare with Mid-autumn Festival.可知never符合句意，故选B。 【7题详解】 句意：我们不要忘记中国文化中我最喜欢的部分:它的友好。 考查代词辨析。friendliness友好，名词需用形容词性物主代词修饰；they和it都是人称代词，可排除。their它们的，its它的；根据Chinese culture（单数形式）可知their不合句意，故选D。 【8题详解】 句意：并不是所有的国家都像中国一样热情。 考查同级比较和形容词辨析。as…as用于同级比较，中间用形容词或副词原形，BD两项是比较级，可排除。warm热心的/友好的，cold冷酷的；根据上文I like best: its friendliness.可知选A。 【9题详解】 句意：享受其他文化并从中学习是件好事，但它们不能取代你自己的文化。 考查动词形式辨析。and连接并列结构，根据上文It's good to enjoy other cultures可知and后面也用不定式，故选D。 【10题详解】 句意：站在栅栏的另一边看是件好事，但要确保你看的时间足够长。 考查动词短语辨析。A.编造；B.由……组成；C.确保；D.一定要，后接原形动词。本句是宾语从句，主句缺谓语动词；根据句意结构和语境，可知make sure符合句意，故选C。 【点睛】完形填空。完形填空集阅读理解、语法、词法、句法于一体，考查语言的综合运用能力，是难度最大的题目。解题的方法要带着空，通读文章，搞清事件发生的背景；再读全文，搞清短文内容；最后根据句意，联系上下文确定每个空的正确答案。它的主要题型有（1）考查词义辨析：名词辨析，形容词副词辨析，冠词辨析，介词连词辨析等；（2）考查句子时态，语态，要根据语境，选择正确的时态和语态的选项；（3）考查从句（宾语从句，定语从句，主语从句等）；（4）根据固定句型或短语结合语境选择正确的选项。本题主要考查单词或短语辨析，做此类型题时，要知道每一个词的意义，然后结合上下文背景语境，选择适合语境的选项。例如小题8，考查同级比较和形容词辨析。as…as用于同级比较，中间用形容词或副词原形，warmer和colder是比较级，可排除BD两项；warm热心的/友好的，cold冷酷的；根据上文I like best: its friendliness.可知选A。 第三部分 阅读理解（共11小题；每小题2分，共22分） A World Poetry Day is celebrated on 21 March.

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.

At the end of this year, tell me how you’ve used your money.’”可知，爷爷想教他们如何理财。故选B。 【19题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“This made Clara and Joe so angry that these two could no longer keep saving their money.”（这让Clara和Joe非常生气，以至于……再也不能存钱了。）联系前句，可猜测出下划线单词”these two”指的是Clara和Joe。故选A。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Julia knew a poor violinist who played in the park, and she offered him all the coins for his violin lessons.”（Julia认识一个在公园演奏的可怜的小提琴手，她给了他所有的硬币来上小提琴课。）以及“‘”Even better, she later became a very famous violinist.”（更妙的是，她后来成为了一位非常著名的小提琴家。）可知，我们能从Julia的故事中学到：一点钱用好了可以帮助你实现梦想。故选C。 【21题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“He said, ‘Let’s have a competition to see who can manage money wisely.’ ”（他说：“让我们进行一场比赛，看看谁能明智地管理资金。”）可知文章讲述了爷爷教导孙子们如何理财的故事。看到孙子们一拿到钱就花掉，爷爷计划了一场特殊的比赛，那就是看每个人能用手里的几个硬币在一年的时间里收获多少东西。通过这个比赛孩子们明白了原来好好计划的话，很少的钱也可以带来意想不到的收获和惊喜，甚至还能实现自己的梦想。故最佳标题应为：爷爷的硬币。故选C。 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? ____________________________________________________ 【答案】22. Because they have stronger senses than humans. 23. When animals act strangely. 24. The animals can predict the weather. 25. Can Animals Predict the Weather? 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了动物拥有比人类更敏锐的感官，能够感知天气变化，如暴风雨来临前的气压变化以及通过蟋蟀鸣叫判断温度等现象。 【22题详解】 根据文章第一段尾句“Many animals do have stronger senses than humans.”可知，动物知道天气变化是因为感官更强。 【23题详解】 根据文章第二段第四句“...when animals act strangely, we probably should be careful with the environment around us.”可知，当动物表现奇怪时要小心。 【24题详解】 根据文章第一段首句“Can a cricket really tell you the temperature outside?”及全文描述可知，动物可以预测天气。 【25题详解】 根据文章第一段首句“Can a cricket really tell you the temperature outside?”及全文内容可知，文章主要探讨动物能否预测天气，“Can Animals Predict the Weather?”可作标题。 第五部分 情景交际 （共5小题， 共10分） A: Hello, Peter.
