Dear Mr．Smith，
I am writing to tell you an important changeabout my summer vocation schedule which I have been longing for for a long time．I am really so sorry but I have to abandon this opportunity due to some unexpected arrangement from my college．
The reason why I have to change my summer schedule is that my college has arranged for a group of students to help some poor students in a remote village．Unfortunately，I am one of them．I hope my summer schedule change won't bring you much disturbance．Will this winter vocation be appropriate for me to carry on my American culture tour？So excited I am when I imagine that I can experience a different Spring Festival from my home town!
Again，sorry for the schedule change and inconvenience．I am looking forward to your reply soon．
Your sincerely，
Li Hua．

5．With the Spring Festival travel rush expected to peak starting this weekend，a report based on data of online train-ticket sales showed that people traveling to Hainan province have the most difficulties purchasing a ticket．
The report，released by 360 Technology Co，said that the findings are based on data collected through its browser plug-in that helps users buy train tickets online．
Using the data-which includes the success rate of buying train tickets；the length of time to be spent traveling； and the percentage of people without seats among the total number of train passengers-the report published an index showing how difficult it is to get home by train ahead of the holiday．
With the index ranging from 1 to 100，Hainan scored 70，while Zhejiang scored 6，meaning those heading to that province face the least difficulty．
Zhang Lanpu，a data analyst for the report，said that the reason it is so difficult to get a train ticket to Hainan is mainly because of its location．
"Hainan is the southernmost island province．The number of train services available is small，and the travel times of train services to Hainan are all very long，"Zhang said，adding that the report found that train services linking Hainan take an average of 33.8 hours．
Lin Hongyuan，a computer engineer in Shenzhen，Guangdong province，spent more than 3，000 yuan（﹩436）this week on a business-class plane ticket from Shenzhen to Haikou，capital of Hainan，on Jan 26，because he couldn't get a train ticket．
"Train tickets to Haikou via Guangzhou are much cheaper，but there are very few train services．I tried the browser plug-in designed to help purchase train tickets，but even that didn't help，"Lin said．
The report also found that Jan 21 and Jan 24 are the two most difficult days to purchase train tickets for during the holiday season．Train tickets leaving Guangdong province，and Shanghai and Beijing heading to Hunan，Hubei and Hebei provinces are the most sought after．

25．What has mainly led to the difficulty to purchase the tickets to Hainan？D
A．Its population．
B．Its transportation．
C．Its tourism．
D．Its location．
26．Which of the province will be the most convenient to reach？B
A．Jiangsu．B．Zhejiang．C．Hainan．D．Guangdong．
27．What can we infer from the last paragraph？C
A．All of the workers are all on holiday at their hometown on Jan 21and Jan 24．
B．Tickets to Hunan，Hubei and Hebei on Jan 21and Jan 24are fewer than normal days．
C．Trains to Hunan，Hubei and Hebei must be very crowded on Jan 21and Jan 24．
D．Many people will buy tickets to Hunan，Hubei and Hebei together on Jan 21and Jan 24．
28．Which of the following might be the best title of the article？A
A．Train tickets to Hainan hardest to purchase
B．To purchase the hardest tickets
C．People rush to Hainan to spend their holiday
D．Nowhere is harder than Hainan to reach．

4．Snowiest Destinations：Greenland
This frosty getaway is a wonderland like no other．Have you heard the tale that Viking explorers named Iceland and Greenland in order to discourage others from the former so they could keep the discovery of a relatively temperate land-the Iceland-to themselves？Whether the legend is true or not，the difference in climate is-while Iceland offers many wintry activities，Greenland is the place for true ice-and-snow adventures，like a three-day，160-kn，Arctic Circle Race for skiers；hunting by dog sledge；ice fishing in a bay；or a camping trip to the Greenland ice cap，the word's second-largest body of ice．
Snowiest Destinations：Siberia
Even to Canadians，a snowy destination like Russia creates images of endless winter and deep snows．Visit the Russia House tourist centre near Novosibirsk in Siberia to experience a classic Russian winter．Stay in wooden houses，take troika （horse carriage） rides，enjoy traditional Russian cuisine and experience the ban-ya，the Russian-style sauna，complete with a dunk in an ice hole to refresh the senses．
Snowiest Destinations：Sapporo
This wintertime haven calls itself"blessed by snow"and it's no wonder-with an average annual snowfall of 630cm （248 inches），you'd have to find a way to love it．Visit during the February Snow Festival to view snow and ice sculptures and play snow games；the city's White Illumination（照明）brightens dark winter nights with an artistic light display around such themes as Christmas and the starry skies．
 
21．Why did the Viking explorers named Iceland according to the tale？C
A．Because Iceland is really full of ice and snow．
B．Because Iceland is really full of green plants．
C．Because Vikings wanted to make it a secret．
D．Because Vikings discovered it secretly．
22．Where will true ice-and-snow adventurers choose to go？B
A．Iceland．B．Greenland．C．Siberia．D．Sapporo．
23．Where can travelers experience typical Russian winter activities？C
A．Iceland．B．Whistler．C．Siberia．D．Sapporo．
24．Why does Sapporo call itself"blessed by snow"？A
A．It has a large snowfall．
B．Snow blesses Sapporo．
C．God blesses this place．
D．Everyone will love it．

There used to be a factory near my house．The factory manager was blaming by the government because of the pollution had harmed people's health．But even then，he paid not attention．Then the factory forced to stop production．The manager said angry，"Is there any fact that we had harmed people's health yet？In fact，we haven't．"Just then，a doctor came，with the result of a medical examine，saying the manager was suffering from cancer．This is very clear that the pollution has harmed not only other people's health and also the manager himself．At last，he realized an importance of keeping the air clean．

2．Women of the Night？I spent thirty-nine years of my life as an（61）educator（educate）．As a school administrator，I was ever fortunate to hire a retired headmaster from Fulton County．She was a delightful person and（62）anexcellent teacher loved by everyone，children，parents and teachers．She taught in our system for some years．Later she passed away．Having taught with her，Jean and Sara thought it proper（63）to attend（attend） her funeral（葬礼）．Not knowing where the funeral would be，they called a certain headmaster（64）who/thatseemed to always keep up with the obituaries（讣闻）．
When Jean and Sara arrived at the funeral，they（65）were（be）surprised to find very few people．They were sure that she was someone so loving and with the broad experience in education so she，（66）their（they）friend，should have more people at her funeral．They wanted to go away．（67）However，the service had already begun and they were brought to the front seats．
They soon realized this was the funeral of a man who had been rude to his wife and who had not earned the right to heaven．Although they found themselves in a very serious atmosphere，they couldn't help（68）laughing（laugh）with the humor of the situation．
（69）Finally（final），the service was over and as they left the church，they overheard someone ask，"Who were the    （70）ladies（lady）up front laughing so loudly？"wiping tears of laughter from their faces，Jean and Sara hurried to their car before meeting any of the family．

1．It is common to experience culture shock when you are living in a foreign country for a period of time．But how to overcome your culture shock？（36）GYou needn't feel anxious and confused in your new space．
Keep an open mind．（37）CRefusing judgment and following the cultural differences will allow you to be an objective observer and will promote the process of cross-cultural understanding．Also，if you are going to a country which you know close to nothing about，do a little background information．（38）FAnd who knows，you may find the reason for something you may not understand．
Make an effort to learn the local language and people．Being good at speaking the language can increase your communication skills and it helps you to connect with the local community．It also shows your interest in the new country．（39）ERespectfully ask questions，read newspapers，and attend a variety of festivals and events．

Dear Andy，
I am glad to know thatyou will come to my city to study the language and culture for a year．Here I will introduce the school first．
Our school is a very beautiful place where the teachers and students get along well with each other．I believe you will enjoy your study here．However，you will face some challenges．The eating habits here are different from yours．So it may take you a long time to adapt yourself to them．In my opinion，you'd better read some books about Chinese culture before coming，which can help you have a good understanding of China．In addition，you may as well live in a host family．They will help you get used to the life here quickly．
Looking forward to meeting you．
Yours，
LiHua．

18．Eating together as a family is a rare thing these days．（36）D．Once I start my own family，I'll certainly do anything possible to set up a tradition of eating together as a family．Here's why．
（37）A
When you eat together as a family each day，your children will learn to respect both parents．They know you two are busy，but still find time to share meals with them．
Learn good table manners
When you have small kids，eating together as a family is an easy way to show and teach them good table manners，of course，if yours are good．（38）B，how to be on time and how to behave（举止端正） at the table．You want to be proud of your grown-up kids，don't you？
Create wonderful memories
（39）F．They will know how important it is to eat together as a family，and will certainly teach their kids to do the same．Your family tradition of sharing meals together as a family will pass down from generation to generation．
There are many benefits（益处） of eating together as a family．Teach your children to enjoy family time，and show them how to behave well at the table．（40）C．

A．Respect both Mom and Dad
B．Your children will learn when it's best to eat
C．They will thank you in the future
D．Parents are always busy and kids have their own plans
E．When you eat together，you do eat those healthy meals too
F．When your children grow up，they will never forget those funny and valuable family mealtimes．
G．It's an excellent chance to become a family unit and improve your relationship with kids．
