Dear Harry,

on the way, your train has a buffet car (餐车), so you can have something nice to eat.

第二节 阅读匹配（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面的短文，从所给的 A～E
五个选项中，选出正确的答案填空，使短文通顺，内容完整。
How can we use vocabulary and grammar in English to show politeness and kindness when we speak (32)
Use modals
Modals are those words you learned in English classes such as would，could，might and may.
(33) They soften your requests or commands (命令). If you use modals the next time you send a request by email, ask for something on the phone, or when you need something from a friend, you'll sound more polite! For example: I need to use your pen for a moment. →May I use your pen for a moment
Use vague language
Vague language means not too specific (明确的) or too direct. We often use expressions such as a bit, around, kind of, a few, quite, slightly, and a little. (34) For example: That's not quite what I had in mind. What if we made a few changes
Change your grammar
(35) Here's how you can do this. Change the present tense ( 时 态 ) to the past tense or a progressive (﹣ing) tense. Your meaning is still in the present, but you change the verb to add softness and to be less direct. We often do this with verbs such as hope, feel, think, want, and wonder. For example: Do you have time to meet tomorrow (36)
(
Using a modal can change a direct question into a polite
request.
These expressions can give less direct
information.
We
can change the sentence into I was wondering if you would be free to meet me
tomorrow.
Here are some great ideas for
you.
Sometimes we change the grammar tense to be more
polite.

第二节 语法填空（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Sometimes we find a book so interesting that we read the whole of it, and other times we may find 51 boring to read and we only read parts of it. To describe the different ways in which we read, we often use different 52 (phrase). Now let’s take a look at some reading phrases. Please pay attention 53 the small differences in meaning between them.
I was lucky enough to be on holiday last week and I 54 (spend) some time with my nose in a book. “Nose in a book” is a commonly used English phrase. It is usually used to describe someone who is always reading, and the word “head” is sometimes used instead of “nose”. For example: My younger brother always has his nose in a book. Jessy always has her head in a book. She devoured all three books in two days.
People often talk about getting lost in a book, meaning that they give the book so much their attention 55 they don’t notice or think about anything else. For example: I love reading by 56 (get) lost in a book.
But what about the opposite, when we read without passion（热情） Perhaps we only read a few
pages of a book, but didn’t find it interesting or 57 (excite). We can say the book didn’t grab us. For example: I don’t know why I couldn’t get into the second novel. It just didn’t grab me in the way that the first one did.
It might seem difficult 58 (know) the different expressions in different situations. However, it’s important to learn how to understand the phrases 59 (correct) according to the sentences before and after them. This will help you have 60 better understanding of the book you read.
第三节 语篇翻译（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面的短文,然后将划线部分的句子译成汉语或英语，并将答案填写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。
Reading is a very important skill. (61) Reading is also a good way to improve your English.
However，to make sure what you read isn't too difficult，it's important to know what makes texts difficult and how you can improve your understanding of them. Here are some suggestions.
*Understand the purpose (目的) of your reading. (62) 你阅读的方法取决于你阅读的目的。The kind of reading you do in class or for your homework is different from how you read a novel for pleasure in the summer holidays.
*Find background (背景) information. Find something out about the topic you are going to read.
The more background information you have, the easier it'll be to understand the text.
*Increase your vocabulary (词汇). (63) 你拥有的词汇越多，你就阅读得越快。
*Use your dictionary correctly. (64) A common mistake is to read everything very slowly and carefully. Looking up each unknown word. Sometimes this is necessary, for example, when reading exam questions. However, it takes a long time and can be very boring; it can even make understanding more difficult!
If you've followed the above advice and still can't understand a text，then it's simply too hard for you. Stop reading and ask someone to help you. No one wants to give up. (65)However, you will just be wasting (浪费) your time if you continue to work at a text that's beyond you.

There are many holidays and festivals in China. One of them is Mid-Auturmn Festival. The Mid-Auturmn Festival is a very important Chinese festival. It is on the lunar August 15. Mooncakes are the special food for this festival. On that day, everyone comes back home with mooncakes. In the evening, the family have a big dinner together. After dinner, everyone sits around a table outside. They eat mooncakes and enjoy the full moon.
For learning Chinese, my advice is to watch more Chinese movies and listen to more Chinese songs.
Yours
Li Hua
