C．possible; some kind of
D．unlikely; some kind of
答案：B 句意：现在在繁忙的街道上走不多远你可能就会发现某种连锁商店——一家快餐店、一家面包店或一家超市。sb. be likely to do sth.意思是“某人有可能做某事”。of some kind为后置定语，修饰a chain store。
10．We need to send a message to our parents________we love them.
A．in which
B．with whom
C．that
D．which
答案：C 考查名词性从句。空格后的部分是一个同位语从句，解释说明message，中间被to our parents隔开了，连接词在从句中不作成分，只起连接作用，所以用that。

A．Take it easy
B．No, thanks

答案：A 考查交际用语。当医生听到病人已介绍完病情后，在诊断前通常会安慰一下病人，所以用take it easy“别紧张”以对病人表示安慰。
13．How can you________your feelings when________with such a problem?
A．express; facing
B．express; faced
C．tell; facial
D．tell; face
答案：B 句意：当面对这样的问题时，你是如何表达情感的？express one's feelings“表达某人的情感”；第二空处使用了省略结构，补充完整为：when you are faced with such a problem。如果空后没有介词with，则可考虑选择A。

A．In all

If you__17__your hand and hold up your thumb, this gesture is used in many countries, but it means the number one in Germany and Japan__18__of good job like it does in America. If you__19__a circle with your thumb and first finger，and point the other three fingers up, you are saying yes or that__20__is okay if you are in America. But in France it means zero, in Japan it means money, and if you are in Brazil or Germany, it is very rude!

Dear Li Hua，
Thank you for your recent email. There appears to be some misunderstandings between us.

Dear_Li_Hua，
Thank_you_for_your_recent_email._There_appears_to_be_some_misunderstandings_between_us._So_please_let_me_explain. You mentioned that I gave Mary a big hug yesterday morning when we met, and you felt quite surprised at that. As a matter of fact, in our country, it is quite common and natural for people to hug each other, because it
shows friendship. I think it must be our different cultural backgrounds that have led you to question what had happened. You know, the same body language may not mean the same thing in different cultures.
I really appreciate your writing me this letter. I am interested in learning more about Chinese customs. I am also very glad to share our customs with you if you like.
Yours，
Linda
