第三部分：阅读理解(共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分)
请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
English is a very interesting language. It has borrowed words from many other languages. Immigrants(移民) coming into the United States have contributed many words to the language, which have kept their original pronunciation. “Coolie” and “kowtow” were taken from the Chinese language, “kamikaze from the Japanese, “shampoo” from India, “blitz” from German, “amigo” and “Los Angeles” from Spanish and so on.
Many students have studied English for years, some as many as eight. However, some students still have difficulty in speaking fluent English. Some know many words but are unable to discern them when native speakers use them. In our Oral English classes we will focus on speaking and listening to native English speakers. For this reason, because we are trying to train your ears to hear English and your mouths to speak intelligible (易理解的) English, we will have a rule that ONLY ENGLISH will be spoken in our English classes. Anyone speaking Chinese in class will be required to pay a fine in order to encourage the speaking and understanding of English. If teachers enter a classroom and discover that anyone is speaking Chinese, they will require everyone in the room to pay the fine. It is everyone’s job to enforce the English-Only rule. It is for your benefit. It is because we want to accustom (使习惯于) your ears to hearing English.
Other subjects may be learned solely from books but the only way to learn a foreign language is to SPEAK IT! Students are often nervous about speaking in class at first but we hope to make the classes fun, so you will forget your nervousness and learn to speak out. Enjoy your classes.
56. The first paragraph is mainly about________.
A. the difficulty of learning English. B. how interesting and various English is
C. different words in different languages D. the immigrants’ contributions to America
57. The underlined word “discern” in Para 2 can be replaced by___________.
A. understand B. notice C. hear D. speak
58. In the author’s opinion, the only way to learn a language well is to__________.
A. listen to it on the radio B. learn it from books C. play games with it D. speak it often
59. The article is probably aimed at________.
A. Japanese students B. German students
C. Chinese students D. Indian students
B
World Car Free Day is a very important day on the environmental calendar. Every September 22, governments, green groups and ordinary citizens stress the damage cars are doing to the earth. The day is a reminder that we do not need to rely so much on cars. Those who take part in the activity hope that we all should realize we do not have to accept our car-controlled society.
Carlos Pardo from Colombia’s Sustainable Urban Transport Project said, “World Car Free Day is not only a celebration of fun ways to get around the city, but a demonstration of traffic-free streets and clean air is possible. But we do not want just one day of celebration and then a return to normal life. When people get out of their cars, they should stay out of their cars. It is up to us, our cities and our governments to help create lasting change to benefit walkers, cyclists and other people who do not drive cars. ”
Car-free days were organized as early as during the 1970s, and several car-free days were organized in European cities during the early 1990s. An international car-free day was organized in Europe in 1999. The European Union adopted the idea in 2000. Today, as many as 100 million people in over 1500 cities worldwide celebrate this day.
World Car Free Day aims to take a large number of cars off the streets for all or part of a day. This will give people a chance to see what their town might look like with fewer cars. But some people say it is a one-day trick and does not make people give up their cars for the rest of the year. They say what is needed is a move towards a more sustainable city transportation system.
60. September 22 is a day ______.
A. when cars cause no damage to the earth B. when we can go on separate holidays
C. that reminds us to drive our cars less D. that tells us to refuse to drive any cars
61. According to Carlos Pardo, _______.
A. it is impossible to have traffic-free streets
B. people should keep away from their cars
C. it’s funny to get around the city without cars
D. each day should be like World Car Free Day
62. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. No cars can be seen on World Car Free Day
B. Further action is needed to make people drive less
C. Car-free days first appeared about 50 years ago.
D. Most people in the world are celebrating the day
C
The first time I saw Carlos I would never have believed he was going to change my life. I had my arms full of books and I was tearing into the classroom when I ran into something solid. It was Carlos.
“My, you’re tall,” he said.
Of course, the class began to laugh. Angry, I walked to my seat without a word.
I glanced back to see if Reed Harrington was laughing with the rest. That would be the last straw. But Reed was studying chemistry and did not seem to be aware of anything else. I didn’t know why I considered Reed my friend. Maybe just because he was a good two inches taller than I. Anyway, every time I blew out my birthday candles and made a wish, it was for a date with Reed Harrington. “Take that seat,” Mr. McCarthy told the proud newcomer Carlos, pointing to the only empty one, in the back of the room.
Carlos smiled broadly. “But I need a couple of dictionaries.” Again the class laughed, but now they were laughing with Carlos, not at him. He had been here only 10 minutes and already he had them on his side.
It was the school elections that made me think of Carlos again. Reed Harrington was voted president and Carlos vice president. “How come?” I kept asking myself. “How come this shrimp(虾) who’s only been in town for a little over a month gets to be so popular.”
So on that morning, I stopped Carlos and said, “It doesn’t seem to bother you—being short.” He looked up at me. “Of course I mind being short. But there isn’t anything I can do about it. When I realized I was going to have to spend my life in this undersized skin, I just decided to make the best of it and concentrate on being myself.” “You seem to get along great,” I admitted. “But what about me? Nobody wants to date a girl taller than he is.” “The trouble with you is you’re afraid to be yourself. You’re smart. And you could be pretty. In fact, you might be more than pretty.” I felt myself turning red...
63. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. The writer cared much about Reed’s attitude.
B. Carlos isn’t popular with the classmates.
C. The writer is always confident with herself.
D. Carlos always makes fun of the writer.
64. From the passage, we can conclude _______________.
A. Carlos is as tall as the writer B. Carlos fell in love with the writer later
C. the writer is very tall D. Reed, Carlos and the writer became good friends later
65. What can we use to describe Carlos’ character?
A. Handsome and proud B. Humorous and confident
C. Diligent and helpful D. Hardworking and popular
66. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. A girl and a boy. B. My shortcomings.
C. My helpful classmates. D. A change in my life.
D
NOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.
In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out. They are not sure to what degree people’s memories are affected.
The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.
Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.
"Some memories can ruin people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering."
But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change people’s memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.
"All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out, "said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.
67. The passage is mainly about _______.
A. a new medical invention B. a new research on the pill
C. a way of wiping out painful memories D. an argument about the research on the pill
68. The drug tested on people can _______.
A. cause the brain to fix memories B. stop people remembering bad experiences
C. prevent body producing certain chemicals D. wipe out the emotional effects of memories
69. We can infer from the passage that _______.
A. people doubt the effects of the pills
B. the pill will certainly stop people's emotional memories
C. taking the pill will do harm to people's physical health
D. the pill has already been produced and used by the public in America
70. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with in the last paragraph?
A. Some memories can ruin people's lives.
B. People want to get rid of bad memories.
C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.
D. The pill will reduce people's sufferings from bad memories.
第Ⅱ卷(非选择题 共35分)
第一部分：任务型阅读(共10小题，每小题1分;满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据短文的内容要点完成文章后的表格。注意：补全填空应符合语法和搭配要求，每空只填一个单词。请将答案写到答卷相应题号的横线上。
Beggars are often seen sitting by the side of a street with heads bowed as people pass them by. Some ask people passing by for a small amount of money and some just sit and wait to be given money. A few use rude behaviour to earn money.
To solve the problem of rude begging, an “alternative (供选择的) giving” plan has been suggested. Ten blue money boxes will be placed in busy places such as the market and the railway station. It aims to encourage people not to give money directly to beggars but instead to give it to the local charity for the homeless.
Supporters of this plan think it will be an effective way to solve the beggars’ alcohol and drug problems. But the police are against the plan arguing that beggars who do not receive cash may turn to criminality(犯罪) to feed their addictions. The homeless charity “Crisis” said the success of any plan will depend on its style. They think that imaginative and positive plans can help create local understanding and sympathy(同情) instead of hardness. Most of the beggars dislike the plan because they think they will not get enough money from the boxes for their showers, food and clothes.
Begging is a big social problem both in developing and developed countries. Governments must play a big role in solving this problem. Training beggars to work and helping them to find proper jobs is one choice. This is especially true for developing countries where many low-skilled jobs exist.
The general community should also be educated to see beggars not as dirty and dangerous, but as people who need understanding and help.

The Grand Canal is the longest canal in the world. It runs from Beijing to Hangzhou, covering a distance of nearly 1,800 kilometres and joining five rivers including the Yellow River and the Yangtze River.
In the year AD 605, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty ordered the canal to be dug. Digging such a long canal proved to be very difficult. 3.6 million people worked on it and in less than a year many of them lost their lives.
When the construction was completed, the journey from the north to the south became more direct. Even today, the Grand Canal still plays an important role in travel. Every day, ships go up and down the canal, carrying things between the north and the south.

I am a music store owner. One day, when I was cleaning the instruments in my store, I saw an old man come in. His short steps dragged on the carpet. “Is 77 too old to learn the banjo (班卓琴)?” he asked.
“You can learn to play it well,” I replied, holding back my doubts. My mind told me I was giving false encouragement. I reached the instructor’s schedule and gave the rates, the available time and the additional information that he would need. To my surprise and delight, the old man, Carl, began banjo lessons three days later with my most patient teacher.
With nothing to do at home but practice, Carl made surprising progress. After breakfast he practiced for his required half hour. While waiting for lunch he picked up his banjo again for just a couple of minutes. Since TV was difficult for him to see and hear, he often played the banjo in the evenings. Carl was always early for lessons so it was a surprise that he didn’t arrive one Tuesday.
The next morning I listened to the answering machine with sadness. “Carl’s in hospital,” the voice recorded.
Two months later, I shared the newspaper obituary with the banjo teacher. We both shed tears for a surprisingly clever banjo student.
Several months later, a woman came into the store carrying a plant. “This is for Carl’s banjo teacher,” she said. “I’m his wife, Mary.”
“Why did Carl want to play the banjo?” I asked. Mary took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “Carl was at some show when he was 10 years old. He came close to the stage to watch the performers. When they were packing up their instruments, the banjo player said to Carl, ‘You want to see this up close?’ Carl climbed up on the stage and from then on he wanted to play the banjo.” Carl had waited 67 years to realize a dream! Mary gave the plant to Carl’s banjo teacher. “Thank you for the best six months of his life,” she said.
24. How did Carl learn to play the banjo well?
A. By working hard. B. By taking short cuts.
C. By asking his wife to help him. D. By finding the best teacher.
25. From Paragraph 2, we can know the author ______.
A. was unwilling to help Carl B. was giving true encouragement
C. didn’t want to encourage Carl D. encouraged Carl though he had doubts
26. The underlined word “obituary” in Para.5 means a notice that _______.
A. announces somebody has died B. announces somebody is needed
C. announces a good piece of news D. announces a gift for somebody
27. Why did Carl want to learn banjo?
A. He wanted to become a banjo performer.
B. He wanted to make his dream of his young age come true.
C. His wife encouraged him to learn it.
D. He wanted to spend the last best six months of his life.

Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. While the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(随机地) from population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.
28. Which best describes the writer’s point in Para.1?
A. Intelligence is given at birth.
B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.
C. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.
D. Some people are born clever and others born stupid.
29. It is suggested in this passage that __________.
A. close relations usually have similar intelligence
B. unrelated people are not likely to have similar intelligence
C. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligence
D. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence
30. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows_________.
A. the importance of their intelligence B. the effect of environment on intelligence
C. the importance of their positions D. the part that birth plays
31. The best title for this article would be “_____________”.
A. On Intelligence B. What Intelligence Means
C. Born with Intelligence D. Environment Decides Intelligence
D
Our environment isn’t as green and beautiful as it should be. There are steel(钢铁) monsters blocking out the sun, blowing out dangerous smoke, and letting out poisonous chemicals into rivers, cars producing harmful waste gas, people throwing out waste in a wrong way and all other kinds of sources that ruin the planet. Facing current environmental problems, people need to do their best to save the earth.
You can see many big garbage dustbins in the streets. They’re not there for a show, but for you to drop your waste. We should realize that what we do does count. So next time you get that urge to throw gum or a chocolate package out of the car window, or “accidentally” drop as you walk down the street, ask yourself how much waste you’ve been contributing to the environment with that bad habit going on for years.
At home, the first thing we can do to protect the environment is avoid letting water run continuously and make sure that taps(水龙头)are not leaky(漏的)，which would help greatly in scrimping. Another is to use energy-saving lights, and turn them off before you leave the rooms. It is not only energy-saving, but also cuts down electricity costs.
Recycling is a method to make items reusable. Many things you want to throw out can be made into new products through the reproducing process. Use your imagination to come up with ways on things that you can use again.
Pass the message of simple ways to save the environment on to kids. Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives, in the hope that they can carry it forward as they grow older.
With environmental protection awareness in mind, we can do what we can, for the results are to have a big effect on the planet. As long as we do our part, the world is one small step closer to being saved.
32. In the first paragraph the author uses “steel monsters” to describe________.
A. huge buildings B. high mountains
C. big factories D. characters in fairy stories
33. From the fifth paragraph, we can know that ________.
A. protecting the environment begins with small chores
B. protecting the environment should start from childhood.
C. wonderful life comes from environmental protection
D. protecting the environment benefits the country and the people
34. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. The more people do their part, the greener the environment will be.
B. Selling what you don’t want any more is a kind of recycling.
C. To protect the environment may help you save some money.
D. Your bad habits for the environment are a valuable contribution.
35. The passage is mainly about_____________.
A. the use of garbage dustbins B. how to save water and electricity
C. how to save the environment D. our current environmental problems[

New rules and behaviour standards (行为规范) for middle school students came out in March. 36 The best students won't only have high marks. They will also be kids who don't dye (染) their hair, smoke or drink.
Here are some of the new rules.
Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else's work in an exam? 37 That's not something an honest student should do. If you have played computer games for two hours in your room, don't tell your parents you have done homework.
Do more at school. Good students love animals and care for other people. April is Bird-loving Month in our country. Is your school doing anything to celebrate? You should join in! 38 When more people work together, it makes it more fun for everyone.
39 Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Maybe you'll discover Earth II someday. Don't look down on new ideas. Everyone's ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone.
Use the Internet carefully. 40 But some things on the Internet aren't good for kids, so try to look at Web pages that are good for you. You can use the Web for fun or homework. If you can’t find any good websites for children, here are two: http://kids.eastday.com; http://www. chinakids.net.com
A. If so, don’t do it again!
B. You can do this online for a few hundred dollars.
C. That way, you can learn more about animals and how to protect them.
D. Be open to new ideas.
E. The Internet can be very useful for your studies.
F. Middle school is going to use a new way to decide who are the top students.
G. The Internet has its advantages and disadvantages.

So his mother took the boy to a hospital.The doctor looked up at the child’s nose，but she couldn’t get the paper out.She said she had to cut the boy’s nose to get the paper out.
The boy’s mother came home looking sad.She didn’t want her child to have his nose cut.The next day she took the boy to her friend Sidney who lived in a house with an old lady called May.May wanted to see the child，so the child let her look up his nose.
“Yes，I can see it，” May said.“It will be out soon.”
As she spoke，she shook some black pepper (胡椒粉)on the child’s nose.The child gave a mighty sneeze and the paper flew out.His mother was surprised.May told his mother to take the boy to the seaside for a swim，for the salt water would go up his nose and stop the bad smell.
So the lucky boy didn’t have to go to the hospital to have his nose cut.
21.After the boy pushed a paper ball into his nose，____.

Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee(裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.
Grown-ups can hardly find children’s games exciting, and they often feel puzzled(迷惑的)at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.
It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.
24. What is true about children when they play games?
A. They can stop playing any time they like.
B. They can test their personal abilities.
C. They want to pick a better team.
D. They don’t need rules.
25. To become a leader in a game the child has to ________.
A. play well
B. wait for his turn
C. be confident in himself
D. be popular among his playmates
26. Why does a child like playing games?

One day an American called Simon went to London to visit his friend, Rick. Rick told him that his flat was on the first floor. When he arrived, Simon went straight to the first floor of the building. But he was told that there was no Rick on that floor. Do you know why?
In fact, the British call the first floor of a building the ground floor. The floor above the ground floor is the first floor, which Americans would call the second floor.
The story shows that there are a few culture differences between Britain and America, though the British and Americans both speak English.
The British usually hide their feelings. They seldom start a conversation with strangers. For example, on the train the British often spend their time reading newspapers or books. But Americans are quite different. They’re more active and easier to talk with.
The British and Americans may use different terms for many things. The British usually use football, eraser and mail while Americans prefer to use soccer, rubber and post.

Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don't give friendship back. That is why some friendships don't last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous (宽宏大量的); be understanding.
Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven't been honest, you may lose your friend's trust. Good friends always rely on one another to speak and act honestly.
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know better.
Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend's place so that you can understand the problem better.
No two friendships are exactly alike (相同的). But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.
32.Some friendships don't last long because _____.
A. there are too many people who want to make friends
B. those who give others friendship receive friendship from others
C. some people receive friendship but don't give friendship back
D. they don't know friendship is something serious
33.According to the passage, honesty is _____.
A. something countable
B. the base of friendship
C. as important as money
D. more important than anything else
34.In the third paragraph, the underlined word 'they' refers to (指) _____.
A. generosity and friendship B. generosity and sharing
C. your ideas and feelings D. your clothes
35.The best title of this passage is _____.
A. How to Be a Friend
B. Honesty Is the Best Policy
C. A Friend in Need Is a Friend indeed
D. Three Important Points in Life

Culture means any human behavior that is learned in human society. All of the meaningful parts of a culture are passed on to different generations through tradition or social learning. 36. Culture exists in agricultural as well as industrialized societies.
Culture is necessary for the survival and existence of human beings as human beings. Practically everything humans know, think, value, feel, and do is learned through taking part in a sociocultural system. 37. Here is one of the cases of children growing up apart from human society. In the province of Midnapore in India, the director of a children’s home was told by local villagers that there were “ghost” in the forest. Upon looking into the case, the director found that two children, one about eight years old and the other about six years old, appeared to have been living with a pack of wolves in the forest. 38. In his diary, the director describes his first view of Kamala (as the older child was named) and Amala ( the name given to the younger child):
Kamala was a terrible-looking being, the head, a big ball of something covering the shoulders. 39. Their eyes were bright and sharp, unlike human eyes. They were very fond of raw meat and raw milk. Gradually, as they got stronger, they began going on all fours, and afterwards began to run on all fours, just like squirrels松鼠.Children learn human language in the same way they learn other kinds of human behavior——by taking part in a cultural community. 40.
A. From this viewpoint, all human groups have a culture.
B. Close at its heels there came another terrible creature exactly like the first, but smaller in size.
C. Human beings can only develop human abilities by the local people.
D. This statement is well supported by some well-written cases.

【小题5】What--How
【小题6】加上has
【小题7】去掉of
【小题8】obviously--obvious
【小题9】one--that
【小题10】hear--hearing
【解析】
试题分析：这是一位中国学生写给外国笔友的信。他对外国笔友的中文水平的提高感到惊叹，同时也邀请这位朋友来中国玩。
【小题1】exciting—excited 考查形容词。本句考查形容词exciting和excited之间的区别。exciting意为令人兴奋的而excited意为感到兴奋的。根据主语I可知，此处指的是我感到很兴奋。故把exciting改成excited。
【小题2】so—such 考查so和such的区别。so是修饰形容词和副词，而such修饰名词。本句是修饰progress的，故把so改成such。
【小题3】with—in 考查介词。本句考查介词用法，用语言是介词in而非with，故把介词with改成in。
【小题4】parent—patents 考查名词。父母应用复数形式parents，故改成复数形式。句意为：我把你写给我父母的email读给他们听。
【小题5】What—How 考查感叹句。感叹句有两种形式，分别由what和how来引导。What+a+adj+n!或How+adj+a+n!/How+n+v!本句应是由how引导，故把what改成how，句意为：时间飞逝!
【小题6】加上has 考查时态。根据时间状语for several months可知，此句时态为现在完成时。故加上has。
【小题7】去掉of 考查a lot。本句考查a lot和a lot of的区别。a lot是表示程度的短语，一般修饰动词;而a lot of是修饰名词的，表示许多。本句是修饰动词learn，故用a lot，表示学到了很多。
【小题8】obviously—obvious 考查形容词。本句为形容词作表语，故把obviously改成obvious。句意为：很明显澳大利亚的生活和中国的生活是非常不同的。
【小题9】one—that 考查代词。本句考查代词one和that之间的区别。one为泛指，相当于a+名词，代指上文出现的可数名词单数，而that为特指，相当于the+名词，代指上文出现的可数或不可数名词。本句代指上文出现的life，特指中国的生活，故把one改成that。
【小题10】hear—hearing 考查非谓语动词。本句中的look forward to的to为介词，其后的动词用ving形式，故把hear改成hearing。

Dear Peter,
I’m glad to receive your letter asking for my advice on how to learn Chinese well.
Here are a few suggestions. First, it is important to take a Chinese course, as you’ll be able
to learn from the teacher and practice with your fellow students. Then, it also helps to watch TV and read books, newspapers and magazines in Chinese whenever possible.
Besides, it should be a good idea to learn and sing Chinese songs, because by doing so you’ll learn and remember Chinese words more easily. You can also make more Chinese friends. They will tell you a lot about China and help you learn Chinese.
Try and write me in Chinese next time.
Best wishes
Li Hua

试题分析：本篇书面表达要求给朋友回信，介绍学好中文的方法。书信是同学们熟悉的写作体裁，而且信的开头已经给出，所以写作时不需要注意书信的格式，这使得文章的写作更加容易。在写作前要确定文章的时态和人称，根据本文要求可以判断应该用一般现在时和第一人称。写作要点也就是学习中文的方法要包括四个方面，即1. 参加中文学习班;2. 看中文书刊、电视节目;3. 学唱中文歌曲;4. 交中国朋友。在写作时需用适当表示顺序的词来进行上下文的衔接，以增加文章的可读性和层次性。此外，还要尽量使用高级词汇和多种句式来提高文章档次。
【亮点说明】本篇范文首先开门见山提出写信的目的，也就是如何学好中文。然后在第二段和第三段介绍了几种有效的方法。在写作时作者运用了Here are a few suggestions.作为过渡句，引出了要讲述的要点。然后在介绍方法，给出建议时用First, Then, Besides, 等连接词，使文章内容连贯，而且有了很强的层次性。此外，作者还运用了状语从句as you’ll be able to learn from the teacher and practice with your fellow students. 和because by doing so you’ll learn and remember Chinese words more easily.，非谓语结构 asking for my advice on how to learn Chinese well等增加了文章的亮点。
