A
To: CharleneRoswell@homeUSA.net
From: PeterWilde@HollywoodTours.com
Dear Ms Roswell,
Thank you for choosing Hollywood Tours. We received your online registration (登记) on April 19th and your payment on May 3rd.
Attached, please find a tour schedule, including hotel information. Again, you will be staying in the Hollywood Grand Hotel, which is one of the top hotels in the Greater Los Angeles area. You are certain to enjoy a very pleasant stay there. In September of last year, it was voted “Best Hotel in California” by Pacific Vacations Magazine.
Also, please remember that the tour schedule is already fixed, so please try to arrive at the hotel by June 28th to begin your wonderful tour of Hollywood. I so look forward to seeing you!
Sincerely,
Peter Wilde
Tour Manager, Hollywood Tours
To: PeterWilde@HollywoodTours.com
From: CharleneRoswell@homeUSA.net
Dear Mr Wilde,
Thank you for your recent e-mail. However, I have a couple of issues. First, I don’t think I can arrive by June 28th, because of some sudden business coming up. I don’t think I’ll be able to arrive until July 1st or July 2nd.
Also, I did get a chance to read about the Hollywood Grand Hotel in Pacific Vacations Magazine, and it indeed gave the hotel excellent reviews. It was especially abundant in its praise of that hotel’s rooftop pool, which it said gave a fantastic view of the Hollywood Hills.
However, I actually had my heart set on staying on the LA Palace Hotel instead of the Hollywood Grand, because it’s closer to downtown and I will meet a few clients during my vacation in the LA business district (I’ll be combining business and pleasure).
I’ll have to go to that district several times during my stay and I don’t want to be caught in the terrible LA traffic again. Thus, the LA Palace Hotel much better serves my professional needs, while also allowing me to enjoy my time in the Greater Los Angeles area. I need to remain productive, I’m afraid, even while attempting to balance that against my leisure goals in the area. If I have to pay any additional fees in order to do these things, it’s okay with me.
Sincerely,
Charlene Roswell

With courses on David Beckham and Harry Potter on offer at famous universities，it comes as no surprise that students are now able to learn the art of the perfect selfie (自拍).
The concept of taking selfies gained great popularity.It soon exploded on the Internet，and people started crazily to take images that had them as the primary item of focus.The trend became so popular that it even inspired a song，“Selfie” by The Chainsmokers，which racked up 267 million views on YouTube.In fact，Twitter declared 2014 as “the year of the selfie”.
Just like the art of photography can be studied and improved，City Literary Institute，a wellknown college in London，felt it needed to educate people on the fine art of taking the perfect selfie and officially started to offer a firstever course on that.
The foursession course will cost ￡132 (￡106 for seniors)，but the fee won't even include a free selfiestick，a tool that is rapidly gaining acceptance for serious selfietakers.It is open to all enthusiastic and selfobsessed photographers.
As part of the new course，selfabsorbed photographers will be taught “valuable life skills” to prepare themselves to face a world which could present a photo opportunity at any point.Apart from offering the muchneeded but seldomsought guidance on the best angles and lighting，the course promises to improve your critical understanding of the “selfie”.There will also be a brief exploration into the concepts of “identity，selfhood and memory” as well as the opportunity to “develop new ideas to make your photography more relevant to your aims”.
But the selfie enthusiasts must be prepared to share their photos，as organizers said a critique (评论) of students' work would form an important role in the learning process.

IV.Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
How do you keep a library when you’ve got no room for your books? With rising rents and record numbers of young people having to move with their parents, it’s clear that we are a moving generation.
As a student in Leeds I moved three times in four years; in London, it was seven times in three years. Regularly having to load our possessions into laundry bags and boxes takes a lot of our finance and energy, but the effect on our book collections is rarely considered.
Keeping a collection of beloved books in a damp flat with no shelves, which you’ll probably have to move out of in six months’ time, is a challenge. Deciding which books to keep and which to reject becomes increasingly difficult. Do you hold on to the books you know you’ll reread or do you keep the to-be-read pile intact (完好无损的) ?
Donating books to a charity shop or local school may be virtuous, but when you haven’t had time to read them since your last move, it becomes depressing. There’s a copy of Much Ado About Nothing I’ve been moving around with for nearly a decade because it is the only piece of Shakespeare in the marketplace.
“Just buy a Kindle!” you might argue — but for many people, books are more than just books. They offer us an emotional connection to the past, to the person who gave them to us. They are a way to brighten up a dark flat, they are a link to home; they are the hardest thing to move and the most enjoyable thing to unpack.
So what if you are already facing your second move this year and can’t bear the thought of pensioning off more of your beloved books? You start reading more. Read all the books in your current bedroom and work out if they’re worth the trip; give away as many books as you can; leave books with trusted friends to be reclaimed at a later point. Start looking at your books creatively.
78.Why has the moving generation appeared? (no more than 15 words)
79.While moving, why do people often ignore their book collections? (no more than 10 words)
80.What makes the author keeps a copy of Much Ado About Nothing? (no more than 10 words)
81.What does the underlined phrase pensioning off in the last paragraph mean? (no more than 3 words)
V. Translation (略)
Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.
VI. Guided Writing
Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese.

81.getting rid of 根据倒数第二段They offer us an emotional ···to unpack可知无论是情感还是精神方面，书籍对于人们的影响巨大。再分析So what if you are···被beloved book?可知当面临今年第二次搬家，既然前文讲到书籍很重要，那么可以推测这里是想表达“不忍心放弃更多热爱的书籍，那该怎么办”的意思。故答案为Getting rid of。
【答案】
Dear William，
Recently, I have heard that you feel stressed about study. I have a good kind to offer you some advice on how to study effectively.
First of all, learn in a relaxing way. This will remove our pressure, making study an easy job. One way to keep up our spirits is to take part in sports. Not only does exercise build up the body, but also it provides us time to relax and fresh our mind. In this way we can memorize things faster and longer. Music, too, is another effective means of refreshing and helping us concentrate better.
Last but not least, we should exchange ideas with our classmates. Through the communication we can find support, which will encourage us to overcome difficulties in our study. Keep trying, and we will make it.
I hope all these can benefit you.
Yours,
Li Hua
