BEAUTIFUL IRELAND AND ITS TRADITIONS
Q: Which country have you been to? Can you give us a brief introduction?
A: I have been to Switzerland. The most spectacular and spectacular scenery in Switzerland is at the top of Europe, 3454 meters above sea level, Jungfrau. Standing on the top of the peak, looking around, the sky is wide and the scenery is charming.
B: Britain is the most impressive country to me. Elizabeth Tower, formerly known as Big Ben, is the Bell Tower of Westminster Palace, one of the world's famous Gothic buildings, the landmark building of London. In June 2012, Britain announced the renaming of the Bell Tower of Big Ben, a famous landmark in London, as "Elizabeth Tower".
Describe an interesting, exciting, or surprising place.
主题写作：介绍旅游景点
文章结构：
首段——简要介绍景点
正文——详细介绍景点，以举例方法为主
结尾——概括景点
写作技巧：
1. 确定写作对象：旅游景点介绍。
2. 选准描写角度：根据写作需要确定用第一人称还是第三人称进行描写。因为不同的人称会影响写作内容的选择和写作目的的定位，如第一人称有助于增加描写的真实感。
例如：Now I’m writing to recommend Gulangyu in Xiamen, a popular destination to you.
3. 用好描写次序：描写景观时把握从整体概述到细节刻画的方法，灵活使用定点描写(同一角度描写多个景观)和定景描写(景观不变，更换观察角度)的手法。
4. 突出语言特色：以描写为主要写作手法，对景物进行介绍，并适当抒发个人感情。为此在写作中要根据内容提示，筛选可能用到的描述该景点的形容词，同时既要恰当灵活地运用词汇，又要避免同一词汇的单调重复。
5. 把握文章时态：文章的时态通常采用一般现在时，用于强调客观事实。
例如：Gulangyu is a small island of Xiamen, like a garden on the water. It has beautiful landscape, such as green tall trees, the Sunshine Rock and all kinds of flowers. If you walk on the Gulangyu, you will feel it is quiet, as cars and buses are not allowed to drive there. The island is so quiet that music played on the piano and violin can be heard. Such is Gulangyu, a beautiful and inviting island, where many tourists crowd in every year.
假设你是李华，你的美国笔友 Linda今年暑假要来你所在的城市杭州旅游。请根据以下提示，给她写一封电子邮件，介绍一下杭州的基本情况。
1. 地理位置：中国的东南部，面临东海；
2. 名胜之地：西湖；
3. 休闲：划船，漫步，在草坪上野餐；
4. 变化：高楼大厦。
注意：1. 词数100左右；

3. 电子邮件的开头和结尾已写好，不计入总词数。
参考词汇：草坪lawn

参考答案：
Dear Linda,
I am very glad to know that you will come to my city—Hangzhou this summer vacation. Now I’m writing to tell you something about it.
Hangzhou lies in the southeast of China, facing the East China Sea. It is most famous for the beautiful West Lake, which has a long history with a beautiful love story. During holidays or on weekends, people like going boating on the lake, walking in the woods or sitting on the lawn to have a picnic. Great changes have taken place in Hangzhou during the past few years, with plenty of tall buildings going up. The landscape is so striking that lots of tourists from at home and abroad come to visit it every year.
Looking forward to you visiting Hangzhou soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
写作思路：
本文是介绍景点的说明文，也属于应用文中的电子邮件，既要介绍景点，也要兼顾电子邮件的特点。写作之前，理清思路，列出要点(杭州地理位置、名胜、休闲、变化)，再根据下列写作顺序，完成写作任务。
首段：引出话题。
正文：详细介绍景点。
尾段：表达期盼之情。
写作亮点：
1. 文章使用现在分词短语“facing the East China Sea”做状语，使句子简洁。
2. 文章使用 which引导的非限制性定语从句，使句子表达丰富。
3. with复合结构，补充说明“ Great changes have taken place”，彰显作者文字功底。
4. so…that句式进一步描述了杭州的美。

一、阅读理解
1. B 解析：细节理解题。难度中等。根据文章第二段“If you are looking for a job with purpose that will leave a lasting impact on the lives of others as well as the environment, look no further!” 公司的招聘对象也就是本文的读者正是那些想要找一份能够给环境和他人生活带来持久影响的工作的人们。故选B。
2. C 解析：细节理解题。难度中等。根据小标题Sleep and Eat下面一段中第二句“If tents are provided to them by CCYC, the participant will have to share with one or two more people of the same gender.”可知CCYC公司会提供帐篷，但是需要与另外一两个人共用。选项A，“捐赠帐篷”文章未提及；根据本段第三句话“Members have the choice of bringing their own tents and will not have to share.”可知员工可以选择携带自己的帐篷且不必与其他人共用，确认B、D选项错误。故选C。
3. D 解析：细节理解题。难度中等。根据小标题Other Perks下面内容“Crewmembers : Pay: $300 per week”以及Sleep and Eat部分第一段第四句话“There is a $ 30 per workweek food deduction(扣除)while in the field( includes breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks).”可知工作人员的最后报酬是$270。故选D。
二、语法填空
1. what 解析：空格后in general为插入语，将其去掉后可知，空格处所填词是在引导宾语从句 values are，在宾语从句中作主语。故填what。
2. the 解析：空格位于名词things之前，且无提示词，句意为：你的价值观就是那些你认为在你生活和工作方式当中重要的事情。分析句子可知，空格处应该表示“那些”。故填the。
3. probably 解析：分析句子结构发现空格处应填入的词在修饰谓语或整个句子，故而应该填入所给词的副词形式。句意为：它们很可能是那些你用来判断你的人生是否正在变成你想要的样子的一些措施。故填probably。
4. satisfied 解析：根据空格后and content，利用并列结构可知空中应当填入形容词，进一步分析句意可知，你是感到满意的，所以填入satisfy的ed形式。故填satisfied。
5. But 解析：分别分析空格前后两句话，前句所说是“你所做的事情和行为的方式与你的价值观相匹配”时候的情况，而后句所说是“当这些与你的个人价值观不一致”时候的情况，两句之间构成转折关系。故填But。
6. began/ should begin 解析：it is time that 从句中需要使用虚拟语气，从句谓语动词的形式有两种：其一为过去式，其二是should+动词原形。故填入began / should begin。
7. why 解析：分析句子结构可知空格处引导表语从句，进一步分析句意知，上文讲到“当所做的事情和行为的方式与你的价值观不一致的时候，就会出现问题，这会成为不快乐的根源，同时这也是为什么意志清醒地去确定自己的价值观是如此重要”。why引导表语从句，在从句中表示“为什么，……的原因”。故填why。
8. them 解析：空格处填入的词指代values且作recognize的宾语。故填them。
9. in 解析：句意为：在一个高度竞争的销售环境里。故填in。
10. understanding 解析：动词提示词，且在句中充当主语。句意为：理解你的价值观确实是有帮助的。主语所表示的是习惯性、经常性的动作，符合动名词作主语的用法。故填understanding。
三、写作
One Possible Version
Dear Mike,
You asked me about the present situation of the soccer sports in our school in your last letter. Here I’m very glad to share something with you.
As you know, Chinese soccer teams, including both men and women teams, are not so good and have never won any champion in the important international games. Faced with this problem, our school has taken a series of effective measures to cope with the situation. For one thing, the school leaders and teachers arouse the students’ interest in building up their bodies and get them to know the importance of living a lively and colorful school life. For another, soccer games are held twice a year and each class has to join (in them). As a result, students here can enjoy a relaxing and effective school life.
Personally, I believe that what our school is doing will be both physically and mentally good for the students. And definitely it will also contribute to the development of soccer game in China.
What’s your opinion? Looking forward to your reply. Best wishes.
Yours，
Li Hua
