（一）请按下列要点写一篇100词左右的短文，题目为Moving Pictures。
1. 看动画片在今天是相当普遍且相当受欢迎的娱乐活动之一；2. 在动画片里，我们可以看到许多在现实生活中见不到的东西；3. 对于学英语的学生，英语影片则提供一个学习口语的机会。
Moving Pictures
Moving pictures are very popular nowadays. They are a common form of amusement(娱乐).
Moving pictures, however, are not only a form of amusement. They are a means of education, too. They are as much of an educator as books.
From moving pictures we can learn much about things that we can never see. Pictures about inventions and discoveries give us scientific knowledge. Pictures about nature and adventures teach us geography. Pictures about historical events teach us about history knowledge. Pictures based upon novels help us to appreciate literature.
To students, English moving pictures afford an excellent opportunity of learning spoken English. It is a pity that many students seem to look upon moving pictures as nothing but a form of amusement.

I like it because it’s more modern than other cartoons. The story is about a clever goat. It is the hero of the story. It’s clever and brave. It always find ways to help other goats run away from Big Big Wolf. It leads other goats to fight the Big Big Wolf. They protect each other and work hard together and they are always successful. The cartoon is very interesting. I always can’t help laughing. If you haven’t seen it yet, please don’t miss it.
（三）以自己最喜欢的电影为话题写一篇短文，题目自拟，70词左右。
My favourite movie
My favourite movie is the Lion King. It is one of the most popular movies.
The main character is a little lion—Simba. He grows up with the company of his parents’ love. After his father’s death, he becomes very sad. But his friends Pnmbaa and Timon save him just in time. And Timon tells him, “You should put your past behind you.” So he begins to face the life bravely and becomes a king. Finally, he goes back to fight for his kingdom with the help of his loyal friends.
We can learn a lesson from it: we should be brave when we are faced with difficulties and we are sure to succeed.

模块主题写作参考答案
Dear Jane,
Thank you for telling me so much about cartoon characters from America. Some of the characters you told me are also familiar to Chinese kids. For example, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Tom and Jerry are well known to almost every child in China.
China has also produced many cartoon TV plays or movies. Among all the Chinese cartoon characters, I like Monkey King and Nezha best because they are brave and clever. They can beat all their enemies, no matter how ferocious they are. I believe you will fall in love with them if you see them one day.
Yours,
Lingling
