It's fast, easy, and free. Registration permanently records your serial number, which is useful in the possible recovery of the bike stolen. Equipment * Brakes Make sure that they are in good working order and adjusted properly. * Helmet A necessity, make sure your helmet meets current safety standards and fits properly. * Lights Always have a front headlight -- visible at least 500 feet in front of the bike.

Riding on sidewalks or other walkways can lead to a fine. The speed limit for bicycles on campus is 15 mph, unless otherwise posted. Always give the right of ways to walkers. If you are involved in an accident, you are required to offer appropriate aid, call the Department of Public Safety and remain at the scene until the officer lets you go.

He has good heart, but always feared applying for a new job. One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please. I insist.” Jimmy agreed. Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself. Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company. “Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job. 41. Why did Jimmy apply for a new job? A. He wanted a higher position. B. He was bored with his job. C. He was out of work. D. He hoped to find a better boss. 42. What did Jimmy see on the way to the interview? A. A friend’s car had a flat tyre. B. An old man’s car broke down. C. A terrible accident happened. D. A wild man was pushing a car. 43. Why did the old man offer Jimmy a ride? A. He was also to be interviewed. B. He was thankful to Jimmy. C. He always helped people in need. D. He needed a traveling companion. 44. How did Jimmy feel on hearing the interviewer’s question? A. He was sorry for the other applicants. B. The interviewer was very rude. C. He regretted helping the old man. D. There was no hope for him to get the job. 45. What can we learn from Jimmy’s experience? A. Good is rewarded with good. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C. Where there is a will, there’s a way. D. Two heads are better than one. C Societies all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits die hard and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost. Many roads and places in Singapore（新加坡）are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries ---- in both the West and the East. Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus ---- obviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel. Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example, “Base Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay（马来语）. Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road. A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent（月牙） because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again. 46. We learn from Paragraph 1 that _____. A. the government is usually the first to name a place B. many places tend to have more than one name C. a ceremony will be held when a place is named D. people prefer the place names given by the government 47. What does the underlined phrase “die hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Change suddenly. B. Change significantly. C. Disappear mysteriously. D. Disappear very slowly. 48. Which of the following places is named after a person? A. Raffles Place. B. Selector Airbase. C. Piccadilly Circus. D. Paya Lebar Crescent. 49. Bras Basah Road is named _______. A. after a person B. after a place C. after an activity D. by its shape 50. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Some place names in Singapore are the same as in Britain. B. Some places in Singapore are named for military purposes. C. The way Singaporeans name their places is unique. D. Young Singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers. D Pre-school children who spend time together take on one another's personalities, a new research has found. The study shows that environment plays a key role in shaping people's personalities. While genetics still forms the central part of the human psyche (心理), the research finds that personality traits (特征) are "contagious" (传染的) among children. "Our finding flies in the face of common assumptions that personality can't be changed," said Dr. Jennifer Neal, co-author of the study. The researchers studied the personalities and social networks of two pre-school classes for a full school year. One of the classes was a set of three-year-olds, and the other a set of four-year-olds. Children whose friends were hard-working or outgoing gradually took on these personality traits over time. Psychology expert Dr. Emily Dublin said kids are having a far bigger effect on each other than people may realize. The new study is not the first to explore the contagious effects of personality traits. A 2015 psychology study found that rudeness at work can be contagious as it travels from person to person "like a disease". The study found that seeing a boss being rude to an employee was enough to cause people to be rude to those around them. The researchers questioned 6,000 people on the social "climate" in their workplaces, which included offices, hotels and restaurants. They found 75 percent of those who took part said they had been treated rudely at least once in the past year. And the study also suggests that merely seeing other people being subjected to rudeness made it more likely that a person would treat their colleagues in the same way. Rudeness could include leaving someone off an invite to a company event, sending unkind emails, finding fault with others or failing to give praise. Dr. Torkelson believes companies need to be more aware of the harm that rudeness in the workplace can do as it can damage the working environment. She said better training could help to fight against the problem. 51. What does the underlined part "flies in the face of" in Paragraph1mean? A. Leads to. B. Results from. C. Goes against. D. Agrees with. 52. According to Paragraph 2, who have the greatest impact on children's personality? A. Their parents. B. Their friends. C. The researchers. D. The psychologists. 53. Which of the following is considered rude at the workplace? A. Ignoring the faults of co-workers. B. Not sending emails to workmates. C. Seeking praise from colleagues and bosses. D. Not inviting a colleague to a company party. 54. What is the passage mainly about? A. One's personality is hard to change. B. One's personality is shaped by genes. C. One's personality traits can spread to others. D. One's personality traits can change overnight. 55. This passage is most probably taken from ________. A. a science report B. a study guide C. a school textbook D. a technical journal 五、阅读表达（共10分） 阅读下面短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题. Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart(购物手推车). They will, in a lifetime, push the chrome-plate contraptions many miles. But few will know—or even think to ask—who it was that invented them. Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging(吃力地携带) groceries around in baskets they had to carry. One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business. On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention. But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try. After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts. “Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?” one shopper replied. But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony(假冒的) customers. As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come—those who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before. Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model. Perhaps that’s one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937—before the coming of the shopping cart. 56. The underlined words “chrome-plate contraptions” in Paragraph 1 refer to ______. (No more than 3 words) __________________ 57. What was the purpose of Goldman’s invention? (No more than 10 words) __________________ 58. Why was Goldman disappointed at first? (No more than 10 words) __________________ 59. Why did Goldman hire people to push carts around his market?(No more than 10 words) __________________ 60. What do you think of Goldman? Please give your reasons.

He has good heart, but always feared applying for a new job. One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please. I insist.” Jimmy agreed. Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself. Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company. “Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job. 41. Why did Jimmy apply for a new job? A. He wanted a higher position. B. He was bored with his job. C. He was out of work. D. He hoped to find a better boss. 42. What did Jimmy see on the way to the interview? A. A friend’s car had a flat tyre. B. An old man’s car broke down. C. A terrible accident happened. D. A wild man was pushing a car. 43. Why did the old man offer Jimmy a ride? A. He was also to be interviewed. B. He was thankful to Jimmy. C. He always helped people in need. D. He needed a traveling companion. 44. How did Jimmy feel on hearing the interviewer’s question? A. He was sorry for the other applicants. B. The interviewer was very rude. C. He regretted helping the old man. D. There was no hope for him to get the job. 45. What can we learn from Jimmy’s experience? A. Good is rewarded with good. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C. Where there is a will, there’s a way. D. Two heads are better than one. 【答案】41.

Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please.

Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.(面试官坐在面向办公室窗户的大椅子上，边前后摇晃椅子边问：“你真的需要面试吗？” 吉米的心一沉，心里想：“我现在这模样，怎么可能通过面试呢？”)”可知，听到面试官的问题，吉米觉得自己没希望得到这份工作了。故选D项。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，特别是倒数第二段“Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning.

Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits die hard and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost. Many roads and places in Singapore（新加坡）are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries ---- in both the West and the East. Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus ---- obviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel. Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example, “Base Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay（马来语）. Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road. A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent（月牙） because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again. 46. We learn from Paragraph 1 that _____. A. the government is usually the first to name a place B. many places tend to have more than one name C. a ceremony will be held when a place is named D. people prefer the place names given by the government 47. What does the underlined phrase “die hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Change suddenly. B. Change significantly. C. Disappear mysteriously. D. Disappear very slowly. 48. Which of the following places is named after a person? A. Raffles Place. B. Selector Airbase. C. Piccadilly Circus. D. Paya Lebar Crescent. 49. Bras Basah Road is named _______. A. after a person B. after a place C. after an activity D. by its shape 50. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Some place names in Singapore are the same as in Britain. B. Some places in Singapore are named for military purposes. C. The way Singaporeans name their places is unique. D. Young Singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers. 【答案】46. B 47. D 48. A 49. C 50. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文说明世界上不同地区的人们以类似的方式为地点命名，如：以先驱者的名字命名；以其他地点的名字命名；以活动的名称命名；以形状命名等。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。从第一段第四句Frequently it happens that a place has two names可知，一个地方常常有两个名字。所以许多地方不只有一个名字。故选B。 【47题详解】 词义猜测题。由第一段“As in many areas, old habits die hard and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost 可知，像在许多地区一样，旧习惯很难消失，这个地方在失去意义很久之后，仍然以它的非正式名称命名。所以通过上下文的语境可以判断出，die hard的意思是“消失得很慢”。故选D。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段“Many roads and places in Singapore（新加坡）are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place ”可知，新加坡的许多道路和地方都被命名，以便后代记住这些先驱者。因此我们有Stamford Road 和Raffles Place广场这样的名字。所以Raffles Place是以人的名字命名的。故选A。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example可知，有些地方是以过去在这些地方进行的活动命名的。Bras Basah路就是一个有趣的例子。所以Bras Basah是活动的名称命名的。故选C。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。从第三段最后一句“The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus ---- obviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel ”可知，当我们看到一些以前英国基地命名的道路时，这个谜就变得更加清晰了。如果你走进Selector Airbase，你会看到皮卡迪利广场（即伦敦戏院及娱乐中心)——显然是由一些想家的皇家空军人员命名的。故推断出新加坡的一些地名与英国的一些地名相同。故选A。 D Pre-school children who spend time together take on one another's personalities, a new research has found. The study shows that environment plays a key role in shaping people's personalities. While genetics still forms the central part of the human psyche (心理), the research finds that personality traits (特征) are "contagious" (传染的) among children. "Our finding flies in the face of common assumptions that personality can't be changed," said Dr. Jennifer Neal, co-author of the study. The researchers studied the personalities and social networks of two pre-school classes for a full school year. One of the classes was a set of three-year-olds, and the other a set of four-year-olds. Children whose friends were hard-working or outgoing gradually took on these personality traits over time. Psychology expert Dr. Emily Dublin said kids are having a far bigger effect on each other than people may realize. The new study is not the first to explore the contagious effects of personality traits. A 2015 psychology study found that rudeness at work can be contagious as it travels from person to person "like a disease". The study found that seeing a boss being rude to an employee was enough to cause people to be rude to those around them. The researchers questioned 6,000 people on the social "climate" in their workplaces, which included offices, hotels and restaurants. They found 75 percent of those who took part said they had been treated rudely at least once in the past year. And the study also suggests that merely seeing other people being subjected to rudeness made it more likely that a person would treat their colleagues in the same way. Rudeness could include leaving someone off an invite to a company event, sending unkind emails, finding fault with others or failing to give praise. Dr. Torkelson believes companies need to be more aware of the harm that rudeness in the workplace can do as it can damage the working environment. She said better training could help to fight against the problem. 51. What does the underlined part "flies in the face of" in Paragraph1mean? A. Leads to. B. Results from. C. Goes against. D. Agrees with. 52. According to Paragraph 2, who have the greatest impact on children's personality? A. Their parents. B. Their friends. C. The researchers. D. The psychologists. 53. Which of the following is considered rude at the workplace? A. Ignoring the faults of co-workers. B. Not sending emails to workmates. C. Seeking praise from colleagues and bosses. D. Not inviting a colleague to a company party. 54. What is the passage mainly about? A. One's personality is hard to change. B. One's personality is shaped by genes. C. One's personality traits can spread to others. D. One's personality traits can change overnight. 55. This passage is most probably taken from ________. A. a science report B. a study guide C. a school textbook D. a technical journal 【答案】51. C 52. B 53. D 54. C 55. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了一项新研究发现，学龄前儿童在一起的时间会呈现出彼此的性格。 研究表明，环境在塑造人的个性方面起着关键作用。 【51题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Pre-school children who spend time together take on one another's personalities, a new research has found.

Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart(购物手推车). They will, in a lifetime, push the chrome-plate contraptions many miles. But few will know—or even think to ask—who it was that invented them. Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging(吃力地携带) groceries around in baskets they had to carry. One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business. On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention. But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try. After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts. “Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?” one shopper replied. But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony(假冒的) customers. As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come—those who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before. Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model. Perhaps that’s one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937—before the coming of the shopping cart. 56. The underlined words “chrome-plate contraptions” in Paragraph 1 refer to ______. (No more than 3 words) __________________ 57. What was the purpose of Goldman’s invention? (No more than 10 words) __________________ 58. Why was Goldman disappointed at first? (No more than 10 words) __________________ 59. Why did Goldman hire people to push carts around his market?(No more than 10 words) __________________ 60. What do you think of Goldman? Please give your reasons. (No more than 20 words) __________________ 【答案】56. Shopping carts. 57. It was to make shopping easier and attract more business. 58. Because few customers used his carts. 59. Because he wanted to promote his shopping carts. 60. He was a smart businessman. He invented the shopping cart and made it accepted by customers. Or: He was smart but he shouldn’t have used tricks to attract customers. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了与美国人生活息息相关的购物手推车的发明。Sylvan N. Goldman在1937年发明了购物手推车。作为生意人的Sylvan N. Goldman认为购物手推车让顾客更容易购物，并有助于吸引更多的生意。经过推广和改进，购物车购物方式已经深入到人们的生活中。 【56题详解】 考查词义猜测。分析可知，“the”表示特指，第二次提及，因此结合语境可知，划线“the chrome-plate contraptions”应是指前文“a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart(在购物车后面的他或她生活的一部分)”中的“a shopping cart(购物手推车)”，与划线短语在名词复数上保持一致，应是复数形式。故答案为：Shopping carts. 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第三段内容“One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.(有一天，Goldman突然有了把篮子装在轮子上的想法。带轮子的购物篮会让他的顾客更容易购物，并有助于吸引更多的生意。)”可知，他的想法是给购物篮装上轮子，这样做的目的是让顾客更容易购物，并有助于吸引更多的生意。故答案为：It was to make shopping easier and attract more business. 【58题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第五段内容“Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try.(大多数购物者都花了很长时间看这些手推车，但几乎没有人愿意试一试。)”可知，大部分人只是长时间看了手推车，并没有人尝试使用，这应是他起初感到失望的原因。故答案为：Because few customers used his carts. 【59题详解】 考查推理判断。根据文章第七段内容“He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony customers.(他知道，只要他能说服人们试一试，他的手推车就会大获成功。为此，Goldman雇佣了一群人在他的市场上推着手推车，假装他们在购物!看到这一点，真正的客户逐渐开始模仿假冒客户。)”可知，他想要人们尝试使用手推车购物，于是他雇佣人推着手推车假装在购物，这样，真正的顾客就开始效仿使用手推车购物了。由此可推知，他雇佣人是因为要推广购物手推车的使用，以鼓励人们尝试使用。故答案为：Because he wanted to promote his shopping carts. 【60题详解】 考查推理判断。根据文章第二段末尾内容“Every day he would see shoppers lugging groceries around in baskets they had to carry.(每天，他都会看到购物者用篮子拖着食品杂货四处走动。）以及第三段内容 One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.(有一天，Goldman突然有了把篮子装在轮子上的想法。带轮子的购物篮会让他的顾客更容易购物，并有助于吸引更多的生意。)”可知，Goldman通过观察顾客购物的行为想到有轮子的购物篮可以方便购物，而且可以吸引更多的生意，说明他是一个聪明的生意人，且文章第七段提及“To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony customers.(为此，Goldman雇佣了一群人在他的市场上推着手推车，假装他们在购物!看到这一点，真正的客户逐渐开始模仿假冒客户。)”他通过“推广宣传”购物车使得真正的顾客开始使用并接受购物车购物的方式。同样可以说明他是一个聪明的生意人。故答案为：He was a smart businessman. He invented the shopping cart and made it accepted by customers. 六、书面表达（共25分） 61. 假如你是红星中学的李华，收到来自英国学生Mark的电子邮件，咨询你校暑期为异国学生举办汉语夏令营活动，请通过电子邮件向Mark介绍本次活动，其内容如下： 1.活动时间：7月10日到7月30日：地点：红星中学。 2.活动内容： •学习日常汉语，可与当地人交流。 •举办各种晚会，了解中国历史和中国传统文化，例如节日…… •参观博物馆，长城等…… 3.活动意义…… 注意： 1.词数不少于100； 2.可适当的加入细节，以使内容充实，行文连贯； 3.开头已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Mark, I feel delighted to get your email, ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Mark, I feel delighted to get your email, knowing you are so interested in the Chinese Summer Camp to be held in our school from July 10th to July 30th this summer.
