【題目】 Do you know “improv”? It’s a kind of performing art. Performers must think up their words and actions on the spot（當(dāng)場）. It need a quick mind.

In Beijing, there is a comedy club called the US-China Comedy Center, or USCCC. Both foreigners and Chinese can enjoy improv there. The audience（觀眾）often takes part in improv shows. They will give the performers any topic. Then the performers must joke about that topic quickly. They have no time to prepare.

Performers may ask the audience to perform together with them. For example, one audience member may act as the “hands”of the performer. The performer will tell a story. At the same time, the “hands”make different gestures（手勢）. It’s just like a two-man show.

In improv, it’s important to stay relaxed. If you pay too much attention to thinking about your words, you won’t do well.

Yan Jin is a 16-year-old Chinese girl. She takes improv classes at the USCCC. “I like the USCCC because it lets me experience different ways of acting and cultural communication（文化交流）. I feel like improv has become a part of my life.”she said.

【題目】
As we know, all living things have to eat food. For a man, a tiger, a fish, a bird, or even a worm, food is necessary. Generally speaking, all living things are sure to die without food. In every part of the world, many different kinds of animals share living places and live in communities (群落) together. They are connected in a food chain (鏈).
Within a food chain, some living things are producers and some are consumers (消費(fèi)者). Plants are producers because they use sunlight, soil and other things to make their own food. Animals are consumers because they have to eat other animals or plants.
There are four different kinds of consumers in the animal kingdom. A carnivore is an animal that only eats other animals. An herbivore is an animal that only eats plants. An omnivore is an animal that eats both plants and animals. A scavenger is an animal that eats dead animals.
Look at the picture. It is an example of a food chain. The food chain shows the order that animals eat each other in a community. In the picture, you can see what animal or plant is food for another animal. See? A leaf is food for a grasshopper, which then becomes food for a hungry mouse. The mouse is food for a snake. The snake is eaten by an eagle. In this way, all of these animals are connected.
根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容判斷正 ( T ) 誤( F )
（1）The main idea of the passage is "Four kinds of consumers”.
（2）The underlined word “scavenger”means in Chinese “腐生動物”.
（3）The food for a mouse according to the picture is a grasshopper.
（4）All kinds of animals share their living places with others.
（5）There are some living things which don't need to eat food.

Then on the table she saw “Mum’s Wish Book’ – a mail order catalog (目錄) from a gift shop. ‘Mum,’ she said excitedly to herself, ‘this year you’ll get the gloves you want!’ Molly had walked a dog for a neighbor and saved her money all year to buy Mum the gloves.

She opened ‘Mum’s Wish Book’ and hoped that she could find these gloves in it. Tears ran down her face when she saw the gloves in the catalog. Mum wouldn’t buy them for herself, because the family had a ________ time on the farm. She once heard Mum say to Dad, ‘Maybe some day, I’ll have the money to get them.’

Molly ran out by the back door and went straight to the post office. There she carefully filled out the order form torn (撕) from the catalog.

‘I need to buy a stamp to send the form.’ She said to Mr. Smith, the only worker in the post office.

‘Umm, a pair of gloves?’ said Mr. Smith, as he passed a stamp to her.

‘Yes, it’s a Christmas gift for Mum, but please don’t tell her. It’s our ________, OK?’ Molly didn’t realize how white Mr. Smith’s beard was until that moment. In fact, he made her think of Santa Claus.

As Molly walked back home, she decided to tell Dad about it. ‘You’ve got to check the mailbox every day,’ said Molly ________ to Dad. He nodded, with a big smile.

Coming home from school every day, Molly peeked (偷看) at Dad when Mum wasn’t looking, but every time he shook his head.

On Christmas Eve, Dad came from mailbox, still empty handed. Molly ________ when she went to bed, because she didn’t have the gloves for Mum.

Before Christmas dinner, as Mum took the apple pie out of the oven, Molly began setting the table. Suddenly, they heard someone pulling up the driveway. From the window they saw Mr. Smith making his way to the door, with a box. Mr. Smith ________ Mum the box, ‘I believe this is yours.’

Mum looked from Dad to Molly and opened the box. Her eyes lit up when she saw the gloves. ‘Oh, who bought these for me?’ she asked.

‘Santa did,’ said Molly smilingly.

‘Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!’ Mr. Smith, with a loud laugh.
