Dear Jorge,
Are you enjoying your break from school My family are now in Sacramento, California. We are here paying a visit to my aunt Gloria. We have been to the California State Capitol Building, the nature centre, and the zoo. I have seen many interesting things, but one stands out above the rest. This morning we drove from my aunt's home to Calistoga to see California's Old Faithful Geyser (老忠实泉). I had read about it in my book, Sightseeing in California : Where You Should Go. You have probably heard of Old Faithful, the geyser farther north in Yellowstone National Park. This California geyser is sometimes called "Little Old Faithful".
When we arrived California's Old Faithful was only a calm pool of water. The geyser didn't look very deep. "What's the big deal " I wondered. As I turned, I saw some steam(蒸汽) rising from the water. Before I knew it, there was hot water shooting(射) up about 60 feet into the air. We could not believe our eyes! It continued for almost three minutes.
Aunt Gloria told me that the water came from an underground river. She also said that the water temperature was about 95°C. This water can sometimes shoot 170 feet into the air.
My aunt said that other geysers around the world reach hotter temperatures and shoot water even higher than California's Old Faithful Geyser. I'd love to learn more about this geyser and other geysers in different countries when I get home. I'll see you soon!
Your friend,
Bennetto

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On the day of the balloon festival, I fell as light as a hot-air balloon. This year I wouldn't just be watching. I'd be riding in Mr. J's truck, following the flight of the balloon and meeting it when it came down.
It was a perfect day. Dad and I drove down the road, circled along the lake and turned into the field that was being used as a parking area. Dad pointed to the lake. "That's where the balloon festival will take place," he said. We came to a stop and I got out of the car. And then I saw it—a white bird with black stripes, brown head, and skinny legs. It screamed and beat its wings in the dirt in front of the cars that were driving downhill. Its wings looked broken. Suddenly it cried bitterly and flew off.
"Dad," I called, but my father was watching the balloons.
"It's a killdeer(喧鸻)," a silver-haired old woman said to me, adding that there must have been a nest here somewhere. "In the parking area " I asked. She nodded firmly. "It was a nesting place before it became a parking area. No one told the killdeer about the balloon festival!"
"Jack!" Dad called. "Isn't it time you went down to meet Mr. J "
"I have to go," I said to the woman but she pointed with her walking stick. There, on the ground was a perfect nest of eggs, looking like pebbles (卵石). They were almost in the path of cars, trucks and motorbikes.
Suddenly, the parent bird was back to its nest and its wings both twisted again. "Jack!" Dad called again. "The balloons are ready to fly."
"Dad! I am …" A truck roared over the hill. Brakes(刹车) screamed and dust flew. "What's the matter " asked Dad angrily from the truck.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
"Dad, I am not going," I said.

Soon a ring of vehicles surrounded the nest.

答案以及解析
第一部分 阅读
第一节
A.答案:1-3.BBD
解析:1.推理判断题。根据第一段可知,之所以选择这些地方作为介绍对象,是因为它们是中国的象征。A、C、D三项内容在Day 4 One-Day Panda Keeper Program中没有体现。
2.主旨大意题。根据标题Welcome to the 4-Day Wonderful Life Experience和第一段可知,这篇文章主要介绍了中国的一个观光旅游项目。A项“中国的文化和历史”和C项“中国的一些著名建筑”都是文章内容的一部分,D项“在中国的一些特殊的经历”,文章主要介绍了一个观光旅游项目而不是人的经历,不符合题意。
3.推理判断题。文中所介绍的这些地方是中国的象征,为中国人所熟悉。再根据文章最后China visas provided PLUS a free dinner or a snack tour.可知,这篇文章的目标读者是外国人。A项“父母”,B项“研究者”,和C项“历史学家”均不符合题意。

D.答案:1-4.BACD
解析:语篇解读:文章介绍了在德班旅游的好处,建议人们选择the Street Scene Tours旅行社。

答案:
Dear Michael,
How are you These days, I am planning to travel abroad during the vacation. I think travelling abroad is very meaningful. First, travelling abroad can broaden my horizon. When I visit a foreign country, I can learn more about the customs and history of the country. At the same time, I can make lots of friends. Besides, communicating with the local people will give me the chance to learn a foreign language. The most important thing is that I can relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Michael, please come to China when you are free. I do hope you can witness the great changes in China.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
第二节
答案:
"Dad, I'm not going," I said. "I have to stay here so the cars won't roll over the nest." With so many things to deal with, my dad drove away to tell Mr J. Then the woman reminded me that it was time to come up with a plan to protect the nest. Just then several cars pulled over. That was when a plan took shape in my mind. I ran over to turn to the car drivers for help. It was not long before they understood everything. More drivers joined in. They parked the cars in the way to protect the nest.
Soon a ring of vehicles surrounded the nest. Nothing or nobody is allowed to get close to the eggs. By noon the festival was over and people began to leave. When Dad came to pick me up, he was astonished to see the killdeer and its nest of eggs safe and sound. Having failed to take part in the balloon festival, I had no regrets. Hungry and tired as I was, I was overjoyed when thinking of the efforts I had made to protect the eggs.
