To: The Manager of Mezzo Mash Restaurant
Dear Sir,
Last Tuesday evening I went with two friends to your restaurant for my 18th
birthday. I ’d booked the table for eight o’clock and we arrived about ten minutes late,
but that was not a problem.The waiter, who was very polite, showed us to our table and
we studied the menu. I ordered a fish pie and my friends ordered some salads. However,
after about fifteen m inutes, the waiter told us that there was no more fish pie. He
apologized and suggested ordering something else. I looked at the menu again and
decided to have the same as my friends-a salad.
When the food came, it was very good. After we finished, we decided to order
some desserts(餐后甜点). The waiter said that, unluckily, it was too late. There wasn’t
enough time for us to order desserts. He said he was very sorry but our table was
booked by another group at nine thirty and we would have to leave.
We paid the bill and left feeling very unhappy. It ruined my birthday. Nobody
told us when we arrived that there was a time limit (限制). It was very unsatisfactory
and I doubt whether We’ll go to your restaurant again.
Yours faithfully,
Martin Cary

They were a happy family: four daughters all in the same school in different
grades. The youngest, Janice, who was in my class, seemed to be glued (粘)to her
mother’s skirts. The three older girls took the bus to school every morning, but Janice
was always driven to school by her mother.[来源:Z.Com]
One Friday, Janice’s mother asked for a talk with me. She said in a soft voice,
“My husband is going to Europe on business for two weeks, and he insists that I go with
him. I have tried to explain over and over that Janice needs me here. But he thinks that
she will be fine without me so I have no choice; I have to go. I have told the babysitter
to drive her every morning. Will you please give Janice special attention and help her? I
want to be sure everything goes well for her.”
I told her that we would make every effort to support Janice. I even volunteered
to meet Janice at her car so she would see a familiar face. As a mother myself, I’d like
to help. Janice’s mother thanked me for our understanding.
On Monday morning, expecting a tearful, anxious child, I planned a special
program of fun and games. I waited outside to greet Janice, but just then the bus arrived
and not thre e, but four girls got off. Janice skipped along joyfully, saying “goodbye” to
her sisters as she ran with two friends into the classroom. I walked slowly into the
classroom and called Janice over to ask how the bus ride went. Impatiently she said,
“Oh, I always want to take the bus with the other kids, but Mother needs to be with me.
You see there won’t be any more babies, so I have to be a baby a little longer. While she
is away, I’ll just ride the bus every day. I am five , you know.

In many ways, Providence Mount St. Vincent in Seattle is a typical senior living
community. It is home to about 400 elderly people and provides them with different
types of assistance. However, it is also the Inter-generational Learning Center---a
preschool where children and seniors have the chance to bond(结成友好的关系).
Established in 1991, the ILC’s purp ose is to allow kids to learn about
acceptance while also being nurtured. It also aims to help seniors develop a greater
sense of self-worth and strengthen social interactions. Babies to prekindergarten-aged
children are placed into six different classes at the ILC. The kids attend art and music
classes, as well as story time and exercise time with the seniors. Marie Hoover, ILC
director, said that interacting with the seniors has proven beneficial for the young ones,
making them more open-minded.
“For the ILC children, interacting with the residents is simply part of their
day-to-day life here and the way aging is ‘normalized’ , which may be the most
important benefit they receive ,” Hoover said. “ I’ve had parents call me years after their
children have graduated from our program to let me know about some incidents when
their child was the first to warmly greet someone who happened to be in a wheelchair.”
As for the seniors, they’re delighted by the companionship the children provide.
The children bring so much energy and joy to our residents. Many of residents are
widows or widowers and can become lonely. Their adult children may still be working,
so they may not get to see them as often as they would like. Having the children stay
with the old makes our residents feel they are still part of a community. The young and
the old connect and learn from one another at this unique facility.
28.ILC is intended to _______.
A.build a typical senior living community
B.take good care of the children
C.benefit both the children and the seniors
D.rid the seniors of loneliness
29.From what Hoover said in Para. 3, we can learn that the ILC children _____.
A.keep in touch with the seniors even if they have left ILC
B.come to realize that aging is a normal part of life
C.take different attitudes to the elderly after graduation
D.think it easy to interact with the elderly residents in ILC
30.The last paragraph mainly tells us _________.
A.the benefits the seniors receive
B.the situation of the seniors
C.children’s company
D.the interaction between the children and the seniors
31.The underlined words in the last paragraph may refer to _________.
A.a special building B.a typical family
C.a typical teaching program D.a special learning center

Each year on Halloween,children look forward to trick-or-treating(不请客就捣
乱)for candies. But for some kids, eating Halloween candies can be dangerous.
That's because one out of every 13 kids in the Us have a food allergy(过敏症).
They are allergic to ingredients(成份) in many Halloween candies, such as peanuts,
tree nuts, milk, eggs, and beans. If they eat these foods, they will get sick or even die.
“I had to throw away all my candies with tears,” eight-year-old Conlen said.
Conlen is alle rgic to peanuts, tree nuts, and dairy.Twelve-year-old Kylie is allergic to
peanuts and tree nuts. She has been tric k-or-treating only twice. “I brought my candies
home and gave them to the neighbors," Kylie said. "It felt terrible."
But this year, Conlen, Kylie and other kids with food allergies will have a
chance for a happy Halloween .That's because nearly100,000 households across the US
have promised to take part in the Teal Pumpkin Project (TPP), which was started last
year by Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE). FARE is an organization that
works to improve the lives of people with food allergies. Through the project, the
households agree to have nonfood items for trick-or-treaters,including trinkets(小饰品)
and toys.
To take part in the project, people buy a teal ( 蓝 绿 色 ) pumpkin or paint a
pumpkin teal and place it in front of their house. The painted pumpkins let
trick-or-treaters know that nonfood items are available there. The households also add
their home addresses to an online map, making it easier for trick-or-treaters to find
them.
Kylie loves the idea.“The TPP makes Halloween fun and safe,”she said.“It
makes me feel like a normal kid, and it makes everyone feel included.”
32.To Conlen and Kylie, the past Halloween were________________.
A.upsetting and dangerous
B.interesting and special
C.sick and terrible
D.important and exciting
33.According to the passage, we know that FARE_____________.
A.helps people with food allergies recover
B.helps the households take part in the TPP
C.takes action to change kids’ bad eating habits
D.helps kids with food allergies have a happy Halloween
34.The households help kids with food allergies by____________.
A.giving them teal pumpkins as gifts
B.offering them all kinds of food except candies
C.providing them with trinkets and toys as treats
D.asking them for home addresses and sending them gifts[来源:学_科_网 Z_X_X_K]

Dear Peter,
Knowing that you express a keen interest in Chinese culture, I’m more than glad to
tell you something concerning the Double Ninth Festival.
The Double Ninth Festival, a traditional Chinese festival, falls on the ninth day of the
ninth lunar month. In fact, it is a festival for the elderly. On this day, some pay a visit to
their parents or grandparents, sending them their best wishes and spending some fun time
with them. Others may do some voluntary work in a nursing house. They sing, dance, play
games with these seni or citizens and keep them company. In my opinion, this festival is of
great significance because it reminds the young to have a sincere respect for the aged.
I hope you have a deeper understanding of Chinese culture after knowing more about
the Double Ninth Festival.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,

文可知作者的经济很紧张,所以能节省 120 美元来买礼物已是很幸运了,故选 B。
49.考查动词辨析。Went 去;left 离开;reached 到达;arrived 到达。本句是说圣诞节这
个伟大的日子终于到了。reach 和 arrive 都有“到达”,但 reach 为及物动词,后面跟名词
作宾语,而 arrived 为不及物动词。本句的主语是 the big day,要用不及物的,所以用 arrived
到达。故选 D 项。
