2．What does the underlined word “deity” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean
A．Spouse. B．God.

语篇解读：本文为记叙文。作者和同学利用暑假来中国体验中国文化。
1．becoming 考查非谓语动词。spend time (in) doing sth.是固定搭配，意为“花费时间做某事”。
2．visits 考查名词的数。visit是可数名词，空前没有限定词，故用其复数形式。
3．where 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处为定语从句，先行词为a Mandarin course(抽象的地点名词)，空处在从句中作地点状语，故用where引导该定语从句。
4．a 考查冠词。have a taste of ...“体验……”为固定用法，故填不定冠词a。
5．deeper 考查形容词的比较级。这些活动让我们对中国文化和传统有了更深的理解。根据语境和much可知，此处要用deep的比较级。
6．At 考查介词。at the end of ...“在……结束时”为固定搭配，故填介词At。
7．had prepared/had been preparing 考查时态。此处是在叙述过去发生的事，因此此处应用过去时态；由语境及该句中的“we all took part in a Mandarin test”得知，可使用过去完成时表示在“参加普通话考试”之前已完成的动作；也可用过去完成进行时表示动作从过去某时开始，一直延续到另一个过去时刻，该动作刚刚结束，或可能还在继续。
8．to enjoy 考查非谓语动词。此处指作者他们考完普通话后，继续享受在北京的一周假期，应使用go on to do sth.“继续做另外一件事”，故填to enjoy。注意：不可填enjoying，因为go on doing sth.表示“继续做同一件事”。
9．honestly 考查副词。修饰动词用副词，故填honestly。
10．will be remembered 考查时态和语态。分析句子结构可知，that引导定语从句，that指代an unforgettable experience，且与动词remember之间是被动关系，故用被动语态；再结合前面的is和语境可知，此处指中国之行将被我们所有人记住并深情回味，故用一般将来时，表示将来的动作。

Dear Harry，
Nice to receive your e mail. I'd like to tell you about my favourite sport, swimming.
At the age of six, I began to learn swimming from my parents, who are good at it. Now I often go swimming with my friends in my spare time. Besides, I go to sports school every weekend, where I have learned many swimming skills. Swimming does good to my health, and I have made many friends as well.
My favourite swimmer is Ye Shiwen, who won two gold medals at 2012 London Olympic Games at the age of 16. I hope I can swim as well as her and have the opportunity to take part in the Olympic Games in the future.
Yours，
Li Hua
