【解析】
【导语】本文主要讨论外向(E)与内向(I)两种性格,交流性格特点,提出要尊重性格差异、取长补短,最后谈及未来理想职业。
【1题详解】
根据上文问句“Do you think you are an‘E’person or an‘I’person?”(你认为你是E人还是I人?)以及下文“I don’t enjoy chatting with people I don’t know.”(我不喜欢和不认识的人聊天),可知B性格偏内向,应回答自己是“I”person。B项符合。
【2题详解】
上文A说自己是“E”person(外向者),下文提到“I also like asking my new friends questions.”(我也喜欢问新朋友问题),说明A喜欢社交。C项“我喜欢结识新朋友”符合外向性格特征且与下文衔接自然。
【3题详解】
上文A提到“I’people usually like listening and thinking.”(I人通常喜欢倾听和思考),F项“This helps them know themselves better.”(这帮助他们更好地了解自己)中的“This”指代前文的倾听和思考,解释了这样做的好处,符合逻辑。
【4题详解】
上文B提出观点“We should enjoy our differences and learn from each other.”(我们应该享受差异并向彼此学习),下文A转换话题说“By the way...”,因此中间应是对B观点的回应,A项“我同意你的看法”符合语境。
【5题详解】
上文A问“what kind of job would you like to do in the future?”(你未来想做什么工作?),下文A总结说“I think you can become a good engineer.”(我认为你能成为一名好工程师),可知B在此处应表达想成为工程师,E项符合。

Dorothy and her friends walked all that day, and stopped to rest only after the sun went down. When they sat around a fire and talked they could hear all the sounds of the animals of the forest around them.
“Is it dangerous here?” Dorothy asked. “Well, I can tell you that there are many things to be afraid of. And this part of the forest is even more dangerous because of the Kalidahs.” “Who are the Kalidahs?” asked Dorothy. “They are animals with heads like tigers, and bodies like bears. If we meet any of them, we will be in very big trouble.” “Ah, don’t scare the girl, Lion”, said the Scarecrow. “We’re not in danger as long as we stay together. Dorothy, you and Toto go ahead and get some sleep. Tinman and I will stay up, and watch over you.”
So Dorothy did just that.
The next morning, they set out early but soon faced a deep, wide hole across the road. It was too dangerous to cross or walk around. “What should we do now?” asked the Tinman. “I know!” said the Scarecrow. He asked the Tinman to cut down a tall tree and lay it over the hole. The Lion was surprised and said “For a scarecrow with no brain, you have some pretty good ideas.”
And just as Dorothy was going to step on the tree, the Lion shouted, “Oh no! I see three Kalidahs running this way! Quick, Dorothy, get going!” Dorothy took Toto in her arms, and walked as quickly as she could across the tree. The Scarecrow came after, and then the Tinman. ▲, but seeing how big they were, he changed his mind, and ran across the tree.
“Tinman,” said the Scarecrow, “the Kalidahs are starting to cross the hole too! Use your axe to cut our end of the tree!” The Tinman did as the Scarecrow said, and as soon as the tree broke, the three Kalidahs fell down into the hole, and died on the rocks below.
Dorothy was surprised to find that the Lion was actually full of courage and the Scarecrow was actually full of wisdom, though they thought themselves cowards(胆小鬼) and stupid.

Dear Li Hua,
I have always dreamed of coming to China, and my dream came true this October. I have been studying in Ordos as an exchange student (交换生) for two weeks. However, the problem is that I am a foreigner and look very different from others. I don’t know how to start a conversation with the local students or what to talk about. Can you give me some advice? I’m really interested in inventing things and enjoy reading stories about inventors. Could you please introduce me to some famous Chinese inventors? That way, we’ll have something in common to share and talk about.
Looking forward to your reply!
John

Dear Li Hua,
I have always dreamed of coming to China, and my dream came true this October. I have been studying in Ordos as an exchange student (交换生) for two weeks. However, the problem is that I am a foreigner and look very different from others. I don’t know how to start a conversation with the local students or what to talk about. Can you give me some advice? I’m really interested in inventing things and enjoy reading stories about inventors. Could you please introduce me to some famous Chinese inventors? That way, we’ll have something in common to share and talk about.
Looking forward to your reply!
John
