One possible version:
Dear Tom,
I’m glad to receive your letter and thank you for your concern about our students’ security.
So far many measures have been taken to ensure the students’ security in and out of our school. The security issue has been emphasized on. We have organized several school meetings to strengthen the students’ awareness of safety about food, traffic and so on. By communicating with parents often and in time, our school can supervise and ensure our safety. Besides, a proper number of security guards have been employed to guard the school under a clear duty. Stricter security measures have been taken by our school, including a requirement that all visitors provide identification and register. The students have been taught the ways to protect themselves from danger. For example, once we smell something unusual, we should report it to the school guard immediately. In my view, our school has been doing pretty well and we are looking forward to more effective measures.
We believe a safer school will provide us students a better learning environment.
Yours,
Li Hua
三、阅读理解
20. It was New Year’s Night. An aged man was standing at a window. He raised his mournful (悲哀的) eyes towards the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating like white lilies (百合花) on the surface of a clear calm lake. He had already passed sixty and brought from his journey
nothing but errors (错误) and regrets. Now his health was poor, his mind vacant and his heart sorrowful (悲伤的).
The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads—one leading to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with flowers, fruits and filled with soft, sweet songs; the other leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless, where poison flowed instead of water and devils and poisonous snake hissed (发撕嘶声) and crawled (爬行).
He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness. These were the days of his wasted life; he saw a star fall from the sky and disappeared, and this was the symbol (象征) of himself. His regret like a sharp arrow (箭) struck deeply into his heart. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood. But they had made their way to success and were now honoured and happy on this night.
The high church clock struck and the sound made him remem ber his parents’ early love for him. They had taught him and prayed for his good. But he chose the wrong way. With shame and grief he dared no longer look towards that heaven. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and with a despairing (绝望的) effort, he burst out a cry: "Come back, my early days!"
His youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Year Night. He was still young though his faults were real; he had not yet entered the deep, dark cave, and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.
Those who still wander (徘徊) on the entrance of life, hesitating (犹豫) to choose the bright road, remember that when years are passed and your feet stumble (绊脚) on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain (徒劳): "Oh youth, return! Oh give me back my early days!"
12. Why does the author set his story on New Year’s Night?
A. He tries to stress (强调) the man’s sad feeling.
B. He wants to tell people it’s time to recall the past.
C. He suggests the aged man will have a bright future.
D. He expects people to share the man’s sad feeling.
13. The aged man in the passage on New Year’s Night can be described as ________.
A. sorrowful, peaceful and regretful
B. hopeful, sorrowful and peaceful
C. disappointed, regretful and hopeful
D. regretful, painful and disappointed
14. The author writes the passage mainly to ________.
A. encourage young people to take the right road
B. help the old man to pick up his confidence
C. describe the old man's unsuccessful experience
D. show his sympathy for the old man
15. From the passage we can learn that ________.
A. the man returned from a long journey and regretted what he had done
B. the man found it no use crying over the wrong past
C. the man was deserted by his parents when he was only a child
D. the man didn't enter the deep and dark cave when he was young

21. When you are in a place where you are hunting for a new job or career, you will find that there are several things that you should pay attention to. Jobs and careers are fewer than you expect, especially when satisfying employment is something you need to seriously think about. How are you going to find the job that you want and what should you avoid on your way? When you want to make use of your job search, take a moment and think about the things that you must avoid at all costs.
One of the most important rules is never to compromise(妥协) on the things you ask for or desire or it will have a bad effect on your life and peace of mind. Keep in mind your basic expectations of a dream job. They might be something about money or you might find they have something to do with time off. Whatever they are, make sure that you do not accept a job without them. Your requirements might not be easy to meet, but you have the right to try and achieve them.
What's more, don't go away from odd(临时的) jobs that might actually take you to the place that you want to be in. Sometimes, finding the right job is a matter of luck and chance after you have been searching and putting in a lot of effort. And if something unexpected happens, remember that taking the chance is of great importance and is something you might want to seriously consider. As long as you keep your goals in mind, you are going to be doing much better than other people during the job search.
If you are looking for the right job, another thing that you can do to make sure that you get the right kind of employment is to market yourself. When you do nothing to push yourself forward, you will be the one suffering for it. If required, give enough encouragement to yourself and try to confidently look at all that you have. Make sure that you can show your skills and abilities. If the jobs that you have set your sights on
are challenging, set goals for yourself and work hard at them. The more efforts you put in marketing yourself, the more your chances of obtaining the job you like will be.
Remember that when you are working on a job search, you should not short-change yourself. This is because you will only harm yourself by setting low goals.
66.fewer 67.attention 68.rules 69.effect/influence 70.hard/ difficult 71.achieve/ reach/ meet 72.unexpected 73.encouragement 74.challenging 75.low。
