Part IV
Writing (45 marks)
Section A (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mothers’ Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Fathers’ Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside(设立) to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate (教育)them to be responsible citizens(有责任感的公民). They give love and care. These two days offer a chance to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child-care.
These two special days are celebrated (庆祝)in many different ways. On Mothers’ Day people wear carnations(康乃馨). A red one stands for a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services（）to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit their graves. On these days, families get together at home and in restaurants. They often have outdoor BBQs for Fathers’ Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued(珍视) more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephones companies and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.

Section B (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage, Answer the questions according to the
information given in the passage.
Beth was a beautiful girl. She met Tara in dance class and soon they became close friends. Beth felt comfortable talking to Tara about her thoughts and feelings. And Tara always seemed to be a good listener.
One day after school, Beth heard some other girls talking about something that only she and Tara knew. She felt very angry. Later Beth found out that Tara was talking behind her back(背后说坏话), so she had a fight with Tara.
Why did Tara do this? Tara’s problem came from her envy(嫉妒). She envied Beth’s nice clothes and expensive things. She also hated the fact that Beth often treated her like a psychologist(心理学家) rather than a friend.
How should they avoid(避免) this fight? Perhaps Beth should realize Tara’s need for friendship. She shouldn’t use Tara as a person to complain(发牢骚) to. As for Tara, if she was honest about her envy, the friends might be able to talk things out(把事说出来). In this way, they wouldn’t hurt each other’s feelings.

书面表达
I’m sorry to hear that you are always ashamed of your body and don’t talk with your classmates just because of your being overweight. I understand that, like anyone else, you are dying to be thin, so here I’d like to give you some advice on how to lose weight.
On the one hand, you should eat the right food. Experts say that we are what we eat. Don’t eat the food that is high in sugar and fat, which can cause you to gain more weight, and have more fruit and vegetables. On the other hand, it is important and necessary for you to keep regular exercise, such as running and playing ball games, for at least an hour every day because doing exercise is the best and quickest way to burn your calories.
Don’t be sad. You should be bold enough to get on with your classmates. As a matter of fact, if you eat properly and work out regularly, you will look good and feel good.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

W: Hi, Bob. Are you studying at home now?
M: Yes, mum.
W: Study hard or you’ll fail the final exam again.
M: Ok, I will study hard.
W: Don’t make empty promises. I’ll check your homework when I get back tonight. If you do well, I’ll give you a reward.
Conversation 2
M: Would you like to come to the cinema tonight?
W: I can’t.
M: Why not?
W: I’ve got to wash my hair tonight.
M: Ok, what about tomorrow night?
W: I can’t tomorrow night, either.
M: Why not?
W: I’ve got to wash my hair again.
M: Do you wash your hair every night?
W: It depends.
M: Depends on what?
W: It depends on who asks me to go to the cinema.
Conversation 3
W: I love this pair of jeans.
M: Please try them on if you like. The fitting room is right over there.
W: Thank you.
M: Do they fit?
W: No, this size is a little too large for me. Have you got anything smaller?
M: Yes, I’ll show you. Oh, sorry, they are all sold out.
W: When can I get a smaller one?
M: In a week at the earliest.
W: That’s too long for me. I can’t wait until then.
M: Maybe you can find some in the jeans shop next door.
W: Do you think so?
M: You can try.
W: Thanks. Bye-bye.
Conversation 4
W: Do you have good friends in your class, Michael?
M: Not really. But I have some good friends in other classes.
W: How come? Is it difficult to get along with your classmates?
M: Not exactly. My classmates just don’t share my interests.
W: What are your interests then?
M: I like sports and I play sports every day, but my classmates don’t. Some of them like reading while others like music. So in my spare time I seldom play with them.
W: Then how did you get to know your friends in the other classes?
M: Well, two of them are my neighbors. We’ve been playing together since we were babies. And the other boys are their classmates.
W: I see.
Conversation 5
M: Excuse me, Miss. I’m new to this area and I’m running out of gas, and I can’t seem to find a gas station anywhere around here. Can you direct me to the nearest one?
W: No problem. First you take a left at the light. Go west for about a mile and there will be one on your left, next to the post-office.
M: I didn’t quite catch that. Would you mind going over the directions one more time?
W: No problem. Take a left at the light and continue on that street until you see the post-office on your left. The gas station is right next to the post-office. You can’t miss it.
M: Thanks. Does the gas station accept credit cards?
W: No, it doesn’t. But there’s a bank across the street from it, and you can get money there if you want.
M: That’s probably what I’ll do.
W: You also might consider buying a map at the gas station. This is a rural area, so it’s very easy to get lost.
M: I think I’ll do that. I really appreciate your help.
W: It’s my pleasure.
Conversation 6
M: So, Jane, where are we meeting these friends of yours tonight?
W: Oh, didn’t I tell you? We’re going to see a movie.
M: Yeah? What movie?
W: I’m not sure. I know it’s one of those action movies.
M: Oh, no! Can’t we see a romantic movie? Action movies are too violent and stupid.
W: I know, but my friends really want to see this one.
M: Ok, then what about dinner? Should we take them out for some Chinese food?
W: I’d prefer Mexican. I’m not too good with chopsticks.
M: All right, I wouldn’t want you to spill food on yourself in front of your old friends.
W: They’re not just my old friends. You know one of them, Tina.
M: Yeah, we live in the same town and we went to the same school.
W: She’s beautiful and funny. I like her very much.
M: Yeah, she is a nice girl. Are we taking the bus?
W: No, the subway is faster. Did I tell you we have to be there in 30 minutes?
SECTION B
In England, people often talk about the weather because they can experience four seasons in the same day. In the morning, the weather can be warm just like in spring. An hour later, black clouds might come and then it might rain. The weather might get a little cold. In the late afternoon, it will often be sunny. The sun will begin to shine, and it will be like summer at this time of day.
In England, people can also have summer in winter, or have winter in summer. So sometimes in winter they can swim, and sometimes in summer they should wear warm clothes.
If you go to England, you will see that some English people usually take an umbrella or a raincoat with them even when it is sunny in the morning, but you should not laugh at them.
If you don’t take an umbrella or a raincoat, you might regret it later in the day.
