David was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about eight years old. When David passed them, he heard the woman yell, “How stupid you are! You’re good at nothing.” The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset, which reminded David of his middle school days. After he entered middle school, David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing, which David believed. But one day it all changed. One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Brown asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter for the novel after they finished reading the book. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didn’t give it much thought. But the next day, to his surprise, the comment “Well done” from Mrs Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written. Encouraged by Mrs. Brown’s feedback, David began writing short stories and seeking her advice. She always corrected his mistakes and provided valuable suggestions. Over time, David’s confidence grew, and he eventually joined the school newspaper as an editor. After graduating from college, David continued writing and eventually published his first book. His success as a writer was largely due to Mrs. Brown’s encouragement. Without her support, he might have had a very different life. Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy. He approached the woman and her son, smiling warmly. He introduced himself and gently spoke to the boy, “You know, I used to feel the same way, but someone believed in me, and it changed everything. You have potential too, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.” The boy’s eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope, and David left knowing he had planted a seed of confidence that might one day grow into a mighty oak. The mother, upon hearing David’s story, felt ashamed of her behavior and realized the impact her words had on her son. David’s encounter with the boy reminded him of the power of encouragement and the difference it can make in someone’s life. He vowed to continue spreading positivity and confidence wherever he went. 41. How did the boy feel after hearing the woman’s words? A. Unhappy and bothered. B. Confident and calm. C. Joyful and relaxed. D. Uncomfortable and angry. 42. Why did David lack self-confidence in middle school? A. He was often abused by his classmates. B. He was often laughed at by others. C. He didn’t like his teachers. D. He had learning disabilities. 43. How did Mrs. Brown’s comment affect David? A. It made him angry. B. It made him sad. C. It gave him self-confidence. D. It gave him enough experience. 44. According to David, what was the reason for his success? A. His own talent and hard work. B. His parents’ support and deep love. C. Mrs. Brown’s encouragement. D. Mrs. Brown’s constant complaint. 45. How did the mother feel upon hearing David’s story? A. Proud of her son for the success. B. Happy that David had changed. C. Indifferent to the entire situation. D. Regretful about her behavior. C In today’s rapidly urbanizing world, the significance of green spaces in cities is often underestimated. These areas, which include parks, gardens, and tree - lined streets, offer far more than just a pleasant view. Green spaces act as natural air purifiers. Trees and plants absorb harmful pollutants such as carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and particulate matter from the air. A study by the University of Washington found that a single mature tree can absorb as much as 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. This not only improves the air quality but also reduces the risk of respiratory diseases among city residents. Moreover, green spaces contribute to the regulation of the urban micro - climate. In hot summer months, the presence of trees and vegetation can lower the temperature in a city by several degrees through a process called evapotranspiration. This is when plants release water vapor into the air, cooling the surrounding environment. In contrast, in winter, green spaces can act as windbreaks, reducing the impact of cold winds. Mental health benefits are another crucial aspect of urban green spaces. Spending time in nature has been proven to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. A research project in the Netherlands showed that people who lived near green spaces had a 15% lower risk of developing mental health problems. The calming effect of greenery, the sounds of birds, and the opportunity to relax away from the hustle and bustle of city life all contribute to improved mental well - being. In addition, green spaces are important for biodiversity. They provide habitats for various species of birds, insects, and small mammals. For example, a small urban park can be home to dozens of bird species, which play a role in pollination and controlling insect populations. However, many cities are facing the challenge of limited green spaces due to rapid urban development. High - rise buildings and expanding infrastructure often replace parks and gardens. To address this, city planners are now emphasizing the importance of incorporating green spaces into urban design. This includes creating rooftop gardens, pocket parks, and green corridors. 46. What can we learn from the study by the University of Washington? A. Trees can absorb all kinds of pollutants. B. A mature tree can absorb a large amount of carbon dioxide annually. C. The more trees there are, the lower the temperature will be. D. Trees are the only way to improve air quality. 47. How do green spaces regulate the urban micro-climate? A. They make the city warmer in summer and cooler in winter. B. They release harmful pollutants in winter. C. They lower the temperature in summer through evapotranspiration. D. They increase the impact of cold winds in winter. 48. What does the underlined word “hustle and bustle” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Peace and quiet. B. Crowded and noisy activity. C. Natural beauty. D. Mental stress. 49. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Green spaces have no impact on the urban economy. B. Cities with more green spaces will have fewer birds. C. Rooftop gardens are not a good solution to the lack of green spaces. D. Protecting and creating green spaces is necessary for urban development. 50. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The impact of urban development on green spaces B. The multiple functions and the significance of urban green spaces C. The comparison between urban green spaces and other urban facilities D. The challenges and solutions faced by urban green spaces D Sleep is a fundamental aspect of human life that we all experience, yet it remains one of the most mysterious processes in our bodies. Scientists have been studying sleep for decades, and while they have made significant progress, there is still much we don’t know. During sleep, the body undergoes a series of complex physiological changes. One of the most noticeable changes is the drop in body temperature. As we drift off to sleep, our body temperature begins to gradually decrease, reaching its lowest point in the early hours of the morning. This drop in temperature is regulated by the body’s internal clock, also known as the circadian rhythm. Brain activity also changes significantly during sleep. In the initial stages, brain waves slow down, and as we enter deeper sleep, a type of brain wave called delta waves becomes prominent. These slow-wave sleep stages are crucial for physical restoration. It’s during this time that the body repairs tissues, strengthens the immune system, and releases growth hormone. REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep is another important stage. During REM sleep, the eyes move rapidly, and the brain is highly active, almost as active as when we are awake. This is the stage when most vivid dreams occur. REM sleep is also thought to play a vital role in memory consolidation. Research has shown that people who are deprived of REM sleep have difficulty retaining new information. However, many people today suffer from sleep problems. Insomnia, the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep, is one of the most common sleep disorders. Stress, anxiety, and the overuse of electronic devices before bed are some of the main causes. Another disorder is sleep apnea, where a person’s breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, which can lead to fatigue and other health issues. Understanding sleep is not only important for our physical and mental health but also for our daily functioning. By getting enough quality sleep, we can improve our cognitive abilities, enhance our mood, and reduce the risk of various health problems. 51. What happens to the body temperature during sleep? A. It remains constant throughout the night. B. It gradually increases until dawn. C. It drops and reaches its lowest point in the early morning. D. It spikes during REM sleep. 52. Why is slow-wave sleep important? A. Because it is when the most vivid dreams occur. B. Because the body repairs tissues and strengthens the immune system during this stage. C. Because the eyes move rapidly which is good for eye health. D. Because it helps in reducing stress levels. 53. What can be inferred from the passage about REM sleep? A. People who get more REM sleep are always more intelligent. B. Skipping REM sleep for one night won’t affect a person at all. C. REM sleep is closely related to the process of memory formation. D. REM sleep only occurs in adults. 54. Which of the following best summarizes the passage? A. The different stages of sleep and common sleep problems. B. How to improve the quality of sleep. C. The importance of body temperature regulation during sleep. D. The history of sleep research. 55 What is the main idea of the passage? A. To persuade people to sleep more. B. To explain the process of sleep, importance, and common problems. C. To introduce the latest research findings on sleep. D. To show the relationship between sleep and mental health. 四.阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 I had been working for a company in Australia for more than ten years. I had just found a better job and I knew that the manager would be disappointed when I was leaving. I recently became friends with a young man who had just migrated to Australia to escape war in his homeland. He was unskilled and was finding life difficult as he was unemployed. The manager asked me to introduce someone who I thought could do the job just as well as me, so I took this opportunity to arrange an interview for my new friend. However, in the end, he was not offered the job after the interview. Later, I asked the manager why my friend was turned down. The manager thought that his English was not good enough for the position, but I suggested that my friend will be a good choice for the company since I could train him. I believed that once given the time to learn, he could do the job. After a week’s training, he was employed and was happy with his position. I knew how the terrible war had forced him to leave his homeland and what price he had paid for doing so. I appreciate being able to live in Australia and believe that this appreciation is best proved by offering acts of kindness to people in need of help. The smile of appreciation from this man continues to impel me to give, which is a very happy and enjoyable process, during which I also receive some unexpected things, such as help, prize, flowers, love and so on. 56.

David was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about eight years old. When David passed them, he heard the woman yell, “How stupid you are! You’re good at nothing.” The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset, which reminded David of his middle school days. After he entered middle school, David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing, which David believed. But one day it all changed. One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Brown asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter for the novel after they finished reading the book. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didn’t give it much thought. But the next day, to his surprise, the comment “Well done” from Mrs Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written. Encouraged by Mrs. Brown’s feedback, David began writing short stories and seeking her advice. She always corrected his mistakes and provided valuable suggestions. Over time, David’s confidence grew, and he eventually joined the school newspaper as an editor. After graduating from college, David continued writing and eventually published his first book. His success as a writer was largely due to Mrs. Brown’s encouragement. Without her support, he might have had a very different life. Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy. He approached the woman and her son, smiling warmly. He introduced himself and gently spoke to the boy, “You know, I used to feel the same way, but someone believed in me, and it changed everything. You have potential too, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.” The boy’s eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope, and David left knowing he had planted a seed of confidence that might one day grow into a mighty oak. The mother, upon hearing David’s story, felt ashamed of her behavior and realized the impact her words had on her son. David’s encounter with the boy reminded him of the power of encouragement and the difference it can make in someone’s life. He vowed to continue spreading positivity and confidence wherever he went. 41. How did the boy feel after hearing the woman’s words? A. Unhappy and bothered. B. Confident and calm. C. Joyful and relaxed. D. Uncomfortable and angry. 42. Why did David lack self-confidence in middle school? A. He was often abused by his classmates. B. He was often laughed at by others. C He didn’t like his teachers. D. He had learning disabilities. 43. How did Mrs. Brown’s comment affect David? A. It made him angry. B. It made him sad. C. It gave him self-confidence. D. It gave him enough experience. 44. According to David, what was the reason for his success? A. His own talent and hard work. B. His parents’ support and deep love. C. Mrs. Brown’s encouragement. D. Mrs. Brown’s constant complaint. 45. How did the mother feel upon hearing David’s story? A. Proud of her son for the success. B. Happy that David had changed. C. Indifferent to the entire situation. D. Regretful about her behavior. 【答案】41. A 42. B 43. C 44. C 45.

These areas, which include parks, gardens, and tree - lined streets, offer far more than just a pleasant view. Green spaces act as natural air purifiers. Trees and plants absorb harmful pollutants such as carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and particulate matter from the air. A study by the University of Washington found that a single mature tree can absorb as much as 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. This not only improves the air quality but also reduces the risk of respiratory diseases among city residents. Moreover, green spaces contribute to the regulation of the urban micro - climate. In hot summer months, the presence of trees and vegetation can lower the temperature in a city by several degrees through a process called evapotranspiration. This is when plants release water vapor into the air, cooling the surrounding environment. In contrast, in winter, green spaces can act as windbreaks, reducing the impact of cold winds. Mental health benefits are another crucial aspect of urban green spaces. Spending time in nature has been proven to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. A research project in the Netherlands showed that people who lived near green spaces had a 15% lower risk of developing mental health problems. The calming effect of greenery, the sounds of birds, and the opportunity to relax away from the hustle and bustle of city life all contribute to improved mental well - being. In addition, green spaces are important for biodiversity. They provide habitats for various species of birds, insects, and small mammals. For example, a small urban park can be home to dozens of bird species, which play a role in pollination and controlling insect populations. However, many cities are facing the challenge of limited green spaces due to rapid urban development. High - rise buildings and expanding infrastructure often replace parks and gardens. To address this, city planners are now emphasizing the importance of incorporating green spaces into urban design. This includes creating rooftop gardens, pocket parks, and green corridors. 46. What can we learn from the study by the University of Washington? A. Trees can absorb all kinds of pollutants. B. A mature tree can absorb a large amount of carbon dioxide annually. C. The more trees there are, the lower the temperature will be. D. Trees are the only way to improve air quality. 47. How do green spaces regulate the urban micro-climate? A. They make the city warmer in summer and cooler in winter. B. They release harmful pollutants in winter. C. They lower the temperature in summer through evapotranspiration. D. They increase the impact of cold winds in winter. 48. What does the underlined word “hustle and bustle” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Peace and quiet. B. Crowded and noisy activity. C. Natural beauty. D. Mental stress. 49. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Green spaces have no impact on the urban economy. B. Cities with more green spaces will have fewer birds. C. Rooftop gardens are not a good solution to the lack of green spaces. D. Protecting and creating green spaces is necessary for urban development. 50. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The impact of urban development on green spaces B. The multiple functions and the significance of urban green spaces C. The comparison between urban green spaces and other urban facilities D. The challenges and solutions faced by urban green spaces 【答案】46. B 47. C 48. B 49. D 50. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了城市绿地的重要性和多功能性。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“A study by the University of Washington found that a single mature tree can absorb as much as 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year.(华盛顿大学的一项研究发现，一棵成熟的树每年可以吸收多达48磅的二氧化碳。)”可知，研究发现一棵成熟的树每年可以吸收大量的二氧化碳。故选B项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“In hot summer months, the presence of trees and vegetation can lower the temperature in a city by several degrees through a process called evapotranspiration.(在炎热的夏季，树木和植被的存在可以通过一种叫做蒸发蒸腾的过程使城市的温度降低几度。)”可知，绿地通过蒸腾作用在夏季降低城市温度。故选C项。 【48题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线短语前的“the opportunity to relax away from”和下文的“city life”可知，只有远离城市生活的喧嚣，才会得到放松的机会，所以，划线短语“hustle and bustle”指的是城市生活中的喧嚣和繁忙。故选B项。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章讲述的城市绿地的功能和最后一段的句子“However, many cities are facing the challenge of limited green spaces due to rapid urban development. High - rise buildings and expanding infrastructure often replace parks and gardens. To address this, city planners are now emphasizing the importance of incorporating green spaces into urban design. This includes creating rooftop gardens, pocket parks, and green corridors. (然而，由于城市的快速发展，许多城市都面临着绿地空间有限的挑战。高层建筑和不断扩大的基础设施经常取代公园和花园。为了解决这个问题，城市规划者现在强调将绿色空间纳入城市设计的重要性。这包括创建屋顶花园、口袋公园和绿色走廊。)”可以推断，保护和创建绿地对于城市发展是必要的。故选D项。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段首句“Green spaces act as natural air purifiers.(绿地是天然的空气净化器。)”，第三段首句“ Moreover, green spaces contribute to the regulation of the urban micro - climate.(此外，绿地还具有调节城市微气候的作用。)”，第四段首句“ Mental health benefits are another crucial aspect of urban green spaces. (心理健康益处是城市绿地的另一个重要方面。)”和第五段首句“ In addition, green spaces are important for biodiversity.(此外，绿地对生物多样性也很重要。)”可推断，文章主要讨论了城市绿地的多种功能及其重要性，包括净化空气、调节微气候、改善心理健康以及促进生物多样性。因此，文章的主旨是城市绿地的多功能性和重要性。故选B项。 D Sleep is a fundamental aspect of human life that we all experience, yet it remains one of the most mysterious processes in our bodies. Scientists have been studying sleep for decades, and while they have made significant progress, there is still much we don’t know. During sleep, the body undergoes a series of complex physiological changes. One of the most noticeable changes is the drop in body temperature. As we drift off to sleep, our body temperature begins to gradually decrease, reaching its lowest point in the early hours of the morning. This drop in temperature is regulated by the body’s internal clock, also known as the circadian rhythm. Brain activity also changes significantly during sleep. In the initial stages, brain waves slow down, and as we enter deeper sleep, a type of brain wave called delta waves becomes prominent. These slow-wave sleep stages are crucial for physical restoration. It’s during this time that the body repairs tissues, strengthens the immune system, and releases growth hormone. REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep is another important stage. During REM sleep, the eyes move rapidly, and the brain is highly active, almost as active as when we are awake. This is the stage when most vivid dreams occur. REM sleep is also thought to play a vital role in memory consolidation. Research has shown that people who are deprived of REM sleep have difficulty retaining new information. However, many people today suffer from sleep problems. Insomnia, the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep, is one of the most common sleep disorders. Stress, anxiety, and the overuse of electronic devices before bed are some of the main causes. Another disorder is sleep apnea, where a person’s breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, which can lead to fatigue and other health issues. Understanding sleep is not only important for our physical and mental health but also for our daily functioning. By getting enough quality sleep, we can improve our cognitive abilities, enhance our mood, and reduce the risk of various health problems. 51. What happens to the body temperature during sleep? A. It remains constant throughout the night. B. It gradually increases until dawn. C. It drops and reaches its lowest point in the early morning. D. It spikes during REM sleep. 52. Why is slow-wave sleep important? A. Because it is when the most vivid dreams occur. B. Because the body repairs tissues and strengthens the immune system during this stage. C. Because the eyes move rapidly, which is good for eye health. D. Because it helps in reducing stress levels. 53. What can be inferred from the passage about REM sleep? A. People who get more REM sleep are always more intelligent. B. Skipping REM sleep for one night won’t affect a person at all. C. REM sleep is closely related to the process of memory formation. D. REM sleep only occurs in adults. 54. Which of the following best summarizes the passage? A. The different stages of sleep and common sleep problems. B. How to improve the quality of sleep. C. The importance of body temperature regulation during sleep. D. The history of sleep research. 55. What is the main idea of the passage? A. To persuade people to sleep more. B. To explain the process of sleep, importance, and common problems. C. To introduce the latest research findings on sleep. D. To show the relationship between sleep and mental health. 【答案】51. C 52. B 53. C 54. A 55. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章解释了睡眠过程、重要性以及常见的睡眠问题。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As we drift off to sleep, our body temperature begins to gradually decrease, reaching its lowest point in the early hours of the morning.(随着我们渐渐入睡，我们的体温开始逐渐下降，在清晨时分达到最低点)”可知，睡眠时体温会下降，并在清晨达到最低点，故选C。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“These slow-wave sleep stages are crucial for physical restoration. It’s during this time that the body repairs tissues, strengthens the immune system, and releases growth hormone.(这些慢波睡眠阶段对身体恢复至关重要。正是在这段时间里，身体修复组织，增强免疫系统，释放生长激素)”可知，慢波睡眠重要是因为在这个阶段，身体会修复组织，增强免疫系统。故选B。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“REM sleep is also thought to play a vital role in memory consolidation. Research has shown that people who are deprived of REM sleep have difficulty retaining new information.(REM睡眠也被认为在记忆巩固中起着至关重要的作用。研究表明，被剥夺REM睡眠的人很难记住新信息)”可知， REM睡眠与记忆形成过程密切相关，故选C。 【54题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“In the initial stages, brain waves slow down, and as we enter deeper sleep, a type of brain wave called delta waves becomes prominent.(在最初阶段，脑电波会变慢，当我们进入深度睡眠时，一种叫做三角波的脑电波会变得突出)”、第四段中“REM(Rapid Eye Movement) sleep is another important stage.(REM（快速眼动）睡眠是另一个重要阶段)”和第五段中“However, many people today suffer from sleep problems.(然而，现在很多人都有睡眠问题)”可知，文章主要介绍了睡眠的不同阶段（慢波睡眠、REM睡眠等）以及常见的睡眠问题（失眠、睡眠呼吸暂停等），A项概括准确，故选A。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“Sleep is a fundamental aspect of human life that we all experience, yet it remains one of the most mysterious processes in our bodies.(睡眠是人类生活的一个基本方面，我们都经历过，但它仍然是我们身体中最神秘的过程之一)”和第五段中“However, many people today suffer from sleep problems.(然而，现在很多人都有睡眠问题)”以及最后一段中“Understanding sleep is not only important for our physical and mental health but also for our daily functioning.(了解睡眠不仅对我们的身心健康很重要，而且对我们的日常运作也很重要)”可知，文章解释了睡眠过程、重要性以及常见的睡眠问题，B项“解释睡眠的过程、重要性和常见问题”符合文章主旨，故选B。 四.阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 I had been working for a company in Australia for more than ten years. I had just found a better job and I knew that the manager would be disappointed when I was leaving. I recently became friends with a young man who had just migrated to Australia to escape war in his homeland. He was unskilled and was finding life difficult as he was unemployed. The manager asked me to introduce someone who I thought could do the job just as well as me, so I took this opportunity to arrange an interview for my new friend. However, in the end, he was not offered the job after the interview. Later, I asked the manager why my friend was turned down. The manager thought that his English was not good enough for the position, but I suggested that my friend will be a good choice for the company since I could train him. I believed that once given the time to learn, he could do the job. After a week’s training, he was employed and was happy with his position.

The manager thought that his English was not good enough for the position, but I suggested that my friend will be a good choice for the company since I could train him.(后来，我问经理为什么我的朋友被拒绝了。经理认为他的英语不够好，不适合这个职位，但我建议我的朋友是公司的好人选，因为我可以培训他。)”可知，经理认为这个年轻人的英语不好，不能胜任这个职位，所以拒绝了他。故答案为Because his English was not good enough./ Because he was weak in English. 【58题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“The manager thought that his English was not good enough for the position, but I suggested that my friend will be a good choice for the company since I could train him. (经理认为他的英语不够好，不适合这个职位，但我建议我的朋友是公司的好人选，因为我可以培训他。)”和“After a week’s training, he was employed and was happy with his position.(经过一周的培训，他被录用了，并对自己的职位感到满意。)”可知，作者表示自己会培训这个年轻人，所以他会适合这份工作，于是在接受培训一周后，他得到了这份工作，所以这个年轻人在作者的帮助培训下得到了这份工作。故答案为The author helped train him for the job. 【59题详解】 考查词义理解。根据画线词前的“The smile of appreciation from this man continues to”和画线词后的“me to give”可知，这个男人感激的微笑让作者继续去付出，由此可推测出，男人的感激给了作者动力，鼓励作者继续对别人付出，impel意为“激励，促使”，相当于motivate/encourage/inspire。故填Motivate/ Encourage/Inspire. 【60题详解】 考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“The smile of appreciation from this man continues to impel me to give, which is a very happy and enjoyable process, during which I also receive some unexpected things, such as help, prize, flowers, love and so on.(这个男人感激的微笑继续激励我去付出，这是一个非常快乐和愉悦的过程，在这个过程中，我也得到了一些意想不到的东西，比如帮助、奖品、鲜花、爱等等。)”可知，作者在继续付出的过程中，也收获了一些意想不到的美好事物，由此可以测出，付出也是收获，乐于付出的人也会从别人身上得到一些东西。故答案为Giving is also receiving. If you are a person who likes to give and help, then you will be also a person who often receives something from others. 五.书面表达（满分25分） 61. 假设你是李华，想成为英国某培训机构的一名教汉语的志愿者。请根据以下内容用英语写一封申请信。 1.成为志愿者能介绍中国的文化； 2.自己的优势； 3.表达自己的盼望之情。 注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Sir or Madam, As we know, a growing number of countries hope to know more about China. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ Looking forward to your early reply.
