To Whom It May Concern:
On August 27, 2016, I ordered a Skunk Scooter from your website. I was very
excited when it arrived because I bought it with money I saved from doing odd jobs
over summer. Unfortunately, I have experienced several problems with my Skunk
Scooter.
First of all, the front wheel shakes from side to side, making the scooter
difficult to ride. And also, it makes a horrible sound. The sound is louder and more annoying than a roaring engine. My dad and I had to tighten the screws (螺丝). However, it did not help. The wheel continues to shake. The scooter is faulty and cannot be repaired.
In addition, I cannot adjust the handlebars. According to your website, they can be easily raised to a height of thirty-six inches. This does not seem to be true. The handlebars are set at thirty inches, and
they cannot be raised or lowered. It appears that the knob that is used to adjust the height is jammed into
the handlebars, which makes it impossible to turn in either direction.
Although you advertised the Skunk Scooter as “ thequickest, slickest scooter on the planet, my”
purchase was an exception. Since your website promises to accept returns, I want my money back. I have sent you a copy of my receipt. Please let me know how I should ship the scooter back to your company. I know that you would not want customers to keep broken products. Therefore, I would like to thank you in
advance. My money can be mailed to me at 3260 N. Main Street, Clarks, TN 37040.
Sincerely ，
Natasha Greene

Climbing in the Clouds
Edmund Percival Hillary was one of the greatest explorers of the twentieth century. He was born in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1919. He discovered an interest in mountain climbing while he was still in high school and began climbing
New Zealand’ s Southern Alps.
Like his father, Hillary earned his living as a beekeeper. However, he continued to climb mountains. His goal was to climb Mt. Everest, which is the highest mountain in the world. By the early 1950s, several expeditions (探险队) had attempted to reach the summit of Everest, but all had failed. Then, in 1953, Hillary and a Nepalese climber named Tenzing Norgay became the first two people to reach the top of the world.
Hillary ’ s spirit of exploration was not satisfied. He joined an expedition to Antarctica and reached the South Pole in 1958. He also made an expedition up the Ganges River to its source in the Himalayas. Sir Edmund Hillary was a
brave adventurer. He went where no man or woman had gone before.
Although Hillary was best known as the young man who climbed to the summit of Mt. Everest in the 1950s, he continued his journeys to far-off places into his senior years. For instance, in his mid-sixites Hillary flew to the North
Pole with Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon. Moreover, Hillary authored many books. However, his most lasting gift, perhaps, was the Sir Edmund Hillary Himalayan Trust (信托基金 ). It raised millions of dollars and
contributed to schools, hospitals and many other public improvements in the Sherpa villages of Nepal. In January 2008,
Sir Edmund Hillary died at the age of 88.
Despite being a great adventurer and known for the treasure he left, Sir Edmund Hillary always modestly referred
to himself as a simple beekeeper from New Zealand.
60. Hillary was interested in _________ when he was in high school.
A. mountain-climbing
B. bee-keeping
C. money-raising
D. story-writing
61. Hillary became well-known because _________.
A. he reached both the South Pole and the North Pole
B. he was the first to reach the top of Mt. Everest
C. he lived in places where no humans had gone
D. he made a lot of money as a beekeeper
62._________ is the right order of Hillary’ s expeditions.
a. He traveled to the source of the Ganges River.
b. He climbed New Zealand’ s Southern Alps.
c. He reached the summit of Everest.
d. He explored the North Pol
e.
A. a-c-d-b
B. b-d-c-a
C. a-b-c-d
D. b-c-a-d
63.We can learn from the passage that Hillary is _________.
A. outgoing and fearless
B. talented and honest
C. determined and caring
D. hardworking and careful

Throughout childhood, kids are encouraged to take good care of their bodies by getting enough rest, exercising regularly, eating healthful foods, and drinking plenty of water. But recently children and teenagers have been warned
to protect their skin. Skin cancer is on the rise among young people. Teens should make some basic lifestyle
changes to help slow this trend.
Melanoma, a skin cancer, is the second most common form of cancer for people aged 15 to 29. Unfortunately, the
risk of developing it has increased in recent years. One of the most important causes of melanoma is UV radiation (辐射 ) damage. Scientists think that some of this damage is directly linked to the use of tanning beds (皮肤美黑床). Now they have found that these beds produce UV A radiation and UVB radiation, both of which are dangerous.
Clearly, avoiding tanning beds is one way teens can protect their skin, but they must do more. They need to
protect themselves from too much sun exposure as well. They must learn to stay out of the sun in summer. Doctors say
that to avoid the harmful rays of the sun, young people should stay indoors between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when the rays
are the strongest. When teens have to be outdoors during these hours, they should use sunscreen that provides protection from both UVA and UVB rays.
Protection is the most effective weapon in the battle against melanoma, but paying close attention to the skin is
also vital. Melanoma often begins as a mole (痣) on the skin. If it’ s caught before it spreads below the skin
it ’ s highly curable. Therefore, teens should watch for both new moles and existing moles. If they see anything that looks unusual, they should visit a skin doctor right away.
Teens who continue to bake in the sun to achieve that perfect tan should realize the potential consequences of
their behavior. Is a sun-kissed look really worth the risk of melanoma? It ’nots too late to change your habits and reduce your exposure to harmful UV rays. Take action now to protect your skin and avoid this deadly disease later.
64. Teens are warned to protect their skin because _________.
A. their lifestyles are not healthy
B. skin helps slow the radiation damage
C. skin cancer is growing among teenagers
D. they spend longer time staying outdoors
65. In Paragraph 2, the author mainly talks about _________ of melanoma.
A. the cause
B. the prevention
C. the symptom
D. the treatment
66. _________ is the effective protection of skin.
A. Using tanning beds
B. Eating more healthful foods
C. Visiting a skin doctor frequently
D. Reducing exposure to strong UV rays
D
The biggest criticism (责备) of social networking is that our young people are losing their offline friends to
online friends. In fact there is a lot of research that shows these criticisms are generally unfounded. Research by Allen et al. found that people are not replacing offline friends with online companions but are using them to support
their offline relationships. They also found that our online friendships actually allow us to have discussions with a
much more diverse set of people than in the real world and improve our psychological happiness.
However, there is one part of social networking that is deeply worrying. We find ourselves in a hyper-connected world where people access social media day and night, excited to make announcements about the tiniest details of their lives. Research is starting to show that this culture is negatively affecting not our friendships but our character.
Professor Larry D. Rosen, in his book iDisorder , presents evidence that social networking is turning us into narcissists ( 自恋者 ). He says that young people who overuse social networking sites can become vain, aggressive, and show anti-social behavior in their offline lives. But perhaps an even more disturbing effect is that one of our most basic emotions seems to be disappearing ––empathy. This is the emotion that bonds us together; it allows us to see the world from our friends points’ of view. Without it, we are far less able to connect and form meaningful adult relationships.
Sherry Turkle, a professor of social sciences at MIT, suggests that people are no longer comfortable being alone. This is something confirmed by a study where 200 university students were asked to go without social media for 24 hours. Many admitted an addiction to their online social network; most complained that they felt cut off from family and friends. But being alone is a time, Turkle argues, when we self-reflect and get in touch with who we really are. It is
only when we do this that we can make meaningful friendships with others. She believes, as is the title of her 2011 book, that we are simply“ Alone Together.”
These potential changes in our characters are rather disturbing. If nothing is done, our young people could well
be in trouble. Therefore, suggestions about ways to encourage our young people to avoid the problems of social networking should be made, so they can develop the kinds of friendships that are required to grow into well-
adjusted and happy adults.
67. The underlined word“ unfounded” in Paragraph 1 probably means _________.
A. undoubted
B. false
C. acceptable
D. illegal
68.In this passage, the author mainly argues that _________.
A. internet culture causes various problems
B. we are losing some most important emotions
C. online friendships do good to offline friendships
D. social net working affects young people’ s personalities
69.By the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4, Turkle probably means _________.
A. we rely on social network for connection
B. being alone is necessary for being together
C. being alone makes us know ourselves better
D. we hardly communicate while being together
70.From the passage, we can learn that _________.
A. we are becoming unable to understand others well
B. young people will develop offline friendships
C. young people can’ t go withoutialsocmedia
D. social media have more advantages

Is My Dog a Wolf?
In the old days wolves and dogs shared the same ancestor. 71 . And wolves stayed wolves. Even though it has
been thousands of years since dogs have been wild, many things a dog does by instinct ( 本能 ) a wolf also does.
Why does my dog chew my stuff?
It ’ s not because hemad ’at syou. The baby wolf chews on a deer bone for several reasons. There is some small nutritional value gained by chewing bones.72 . But mostly, it is just fun and tastes good. Most of us don
deer bones lying around the house, so table legs, shoes, and sticks probably seem like good bone replacements. Many
dogs get scared or bored when they are left alone, and chewing on something can be comforting and entertaining to them.
73 . So when he eats your homework, it really means he misses having you around.
Why does my dog play with dirt?
74 . Wolves dig holes to hide leftover food and bones, so they ’ ell havnice snack for later. Some dig to catch
small underground animals, which make tasty snacks. Or they dig to create a cool hole to lie in during the summer⋯ or a
warm snow cave in the winter. Adult wolves dig underground caves for their babies to provide shelter and
safety. Dogs may dig for some of the same reasons, but one thing is for sure: newly dug dirt has all sorts of interesting
smells which they are crazy about.
Once you understand that dogs and wolves are similar, you can look at the ways they are different. In the wild,
wolves live by wolf rules. Most of their days are spent caring for the young, resting, and hunting.75. Their willingness to do this is probably the biggest difference between the two species. That ’whys dogs can become
human’ s friends while wolves never.
A. Dogs, however, must live by people rules both inside and outside the home.
B. If that“ something” smells like you, it is all the attractivemore.
C. D igging is a survival tool for wolves, but it’ s just fun for dogs.
D. Gradually, dogs changed to become their own species.
E. Wolf and dog noses also do more than just smell.
F. It is also the way wolves brush their teeth.
G. How are they different?

一、 Possible versions
Possible version 1
Dear Jim,
I ’ mdelighted to know you are interested in traditional Chinese festivals. You might have never heard of Chong
Yang festival, but it is actually my favourite. It falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. Since nine is the largest
single number, it is viewed as Senior Citizens’ Day. People often do activities like going hiking and admiring flower this day.
As for me, I had never thought about doing anything for the elderly until I learnt about the festival at school. Our
teacher asked us to do a nice thing for our grandparents. For the first time in my life, I washed my grandma
never forget the sweet smile she wore and the happiness I felt.
You see, I like Chong Yang festival not just because of the popular activities. The most important reason is that it
serves as reminder that I should do something to show my appreciation of my grandparents(150 words)’ love for m Yours,
Li Hua
Possible version 2
Dear Jim,
I ’ mvery delighted to know you are interested in traditional Chinese festivals. I want to introduce the most
important one, Spring Festival.
During every Spring Festival all the family members get together to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year. On
the eve of the day, we often sit around the table to have a big dinner, and jiaozi is the most traditional food. In many
places, people like to set off firecrackers and put up spring couplets on the door. Children like the festival very much,
because they will receive lucky money for good fortune.
Spring Festival is a time I look forward to all year round, because it is the happiest time, when I can enjoy the pure
bliss of family reunion.(111 words)

Dear Chris,
This term with my friends I took part in a meaningful activity in our school. And I It ’wasd like to sha an activity aimed at helping us form good habits in 100 days.
After making up our mind to participate, my friends and I started to come up with what to do in the coming three
months. Running, keeping dairies, etc. all flashed through our minds, but we finally decided on reading. After that we got
online to search for the bestselling books and made our book lists. It was really challenging. Sometimes we felt it hard to
persevere because of our busy schedule. Sometimes we really wanted to quit because of the heavy homework load. But
we reminded and encouraged each other to set aside 30 minutes for our goal. Gradually, we found ourselves hooked
on reading. We read wherever and whenever possible, in the library, in the playground and even on the subway.
100 days went by silently. And we became keen on reading. Everybody was overwhelmed with a sense of achievement and pride. More importantly, we fully realized that perseverance is what it takes to achieve a goal.
What do you think of that? Looking forward to your reply.(172 words)

Dear Chris,
This term with my friends I took part in a meaningful activity in our school. And I
’It isd like to sha called“ A good habit in 100 days.”
Upon hearing the news, my friends and I talked about what habit we would form. One friend of mine suggested
running while I thought of reading. After a discussion, we decided to read half an hour a day to enjoy the pleasure of
reading. Then we surfed the Internet to find the best-sellers and made a list of books we liked.
From then on, we made full use of time to read. We read whether in the library, on the playground or on the subway.
At last, we reached our goal of reading for 100 days! How excited we were! While cheering for our achievement, we
made up our mind to keep on reading.
What do you think of that? Looking forward to your reply.(123 words)
