As he sat down, the teacher replied, Very good!Henry was angry. I recited just as he did, he complained to the teacher.But the teacher replied, It is not enough to know your lesson, you must be sure.

You cant do that.No! You are wrong.No! You are too young.No! You dont have the education.No! You dont have the ability.No! You dont have the money.No!

The yellow leaves have fallen to the ground. Now, a group of women gather at the sides of a path. In the cold winter, theyre moving their arms and legs to a rhythm (节奏). They are, of course, the dancing aunties.It seems that if you go to any public space around China, youre likely to see these dancing aunties. When I first came to China, it was one of the first things that annoyed me. Thats because in Britain dancing in public is not a cultural habit. You wont see any age group swinging their arms and tapping their feet in a park. Usually, they just take a walk for exercise.Now and again the dancing aunties have hit the headlines (头条新闻). Some people find them annoying. But others respect their right to dance in public. Most of them are middle-aged. They finally have some free time to do whatever they like. There is no more work, and their kids have left.All in all, I like seeing these women enjoying themselves. They remind us of the importance of exercise as we get older. Besides, most of them have raised the whole families. Now it is their time to have fun and enjoy some peace.The Dancing Aunties in the Cold WinterWhat can you see in the cold winter?The _are bare and the_are on the ground.A group of women gather togetherTheyre _and legs.What can you see in any public space in China?The _.The writers opinion about it.They remind us exercise is _.四、 写作部分 (共4题；共20分)16. （5分）将字母重组成单词。 （1）m, o, t, t, a, o _（2）a, s, a ,l ,d _（3）d, o ,f ,o_（4）i, c, h, c, e, n, k_（5）u, i, f, t, r_（6）t, a, f _（7）a, w, t, n_（8）r, a, s, t _（9）n ,n ,d, e, r, i _（10）t, a, b, e, l, g, e, t, e, v_17. （5分）用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，每词仅用一次（每空一词）soft eight seldom quarter require（1）Sally is such a careful girl that she _ makes spelling mistakes. （2）The old people _ more care and attention when they live alone. （3）The young mother told the story in a _ voice and the baby fell asleep soon. （4）You can find more information about outer space in the _ unit of Smart Science. （5）A _ of the students taking the course Basic Football, improved their sports skills. 18. （5分）The scientists have not d_water on the moon. 19. （5分）任务型阅读。 There is a new park near Andys home.
