【答案】Dear Chris,

I am LiHua. How is everything going with you? Knowing that you are enthusiastic about Chinese operas, I am writing to invite you to watch with me a classical Shaoxing opera, Butterfly Lovers to be staged at Changsha Grand Theatre at 7:00 p. m. on 21st, September.

Butterfly Lovers, one of the most renowned operas in China, tells a touching love story between a young man, Liang Shanbo, and a young girl, Zhu Yingtai. Though in deep love, they are unable to marry. Dying of a broken heart and despair, they transform into two butterflies, never to be parted again. I am convinced that it will be a good opportunity for you to learn Chinese culture. Besides, it will be a feast for opera lovers, for some of the greatest Chinese opera singers are cast in this production. You will be impressed with their wonderful voices, the music and the setting!

If you have any questions about it, don’t hesitate to ask me. Looking forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

【题目】 I was born and raised in England in a culture where privacy and “keeping yourself to yourself” were valued traditions. Speaking to strangers was not encouraged. People were most hospitable(好客的) and friendly—but only once they had been introduced to new people.

However, I have been lucky enough to spend some time in both Italy and the US, where I found traditions of hospitality and politeness to be very different.

I experienced Italian hospitality firsthand on a crowded railway carriage travelling, one afternoon, from Genoa to Florence. Sinking gratefully into an empty seat, I was berated(斥责) in rapid Italian by a gentleman who was returning to this seatit had not been “spare” after all. I apologized in English, and got up to allow him back into the seat. The gentleman obviously had no understanding of the English language, but he, too, realized my genuine mistake. He smiled and gestured for me to remain in the seat, and he himself remained standing in the corridor for the remainder of the journey. The other occupants of the carriage smiled and nodded at me and made me feel quite welcome amongst them. I feel that if this had been in England, a foreigner who made a mistake would not always be so kindly treated.

Transport also featured in the differences I noticed between English and American culture. I flew to New York on a plane with mainly English passengers. We sat together in near silence. Nobody spoke to me nor, as I expected, to anyone else they did not know. They felt it was not polite to intrude on someone else's privacy. However, when I travelled across the United States, whether by plane or Greyhound bus, I was never short of conversation. Conversation was going on all around me and whoever sat next to me was happy to introduce themselves and ask me about myself. They obviously felt it would have been rude not to speak to another person, whether they were strangers or not.

1What do we know about the occupants of the carriage when the author was travelling in Italy?

A.They all laughed at the author for his mistake.

B.They would not bear a mistake like the author's in public.

C.They were all on the side of the gentleman.

D.They all showed their understanding of the author's mistake.

3According to the last paragraph, English passengers sat in near silence because________.

D.everybody had their own share of privacy

4The purpose of the author is to tell us ________.

B.cultural differences to show hospitality and politeness

C.the culture shock he experienced in Italy and the US

D.how to adapt ourselves to a new culture

【题目】 A young kangaroo is lucky to be alive today thanks to a pair of New South Wales teenagers.

【题目】 Dogs love to get out and stretch their legs, which not only helps to keep them in shape, but enables them to keep the extra pounds off. Pet hiking has been popular recently, getting dogs off the sidewalk.

Three years ago, Denver resident Brittany Redding was stressed out, working 60 hours a week while studying in graduate school full-time. The only thing that helped was taking her four dogs hiking. “That’s when it hit me that I should do that as a job.” she says. After graduating in June 2016, she founded Take a Hike. Her company, like a number of others around the country, takes dogs to explore beyond the neighborhood.

Before taking on the tracks, Brittany meets with each dog and his or her owner to get a sense of the pet’s character. Then she schedules a meet-and-greet with other dogs that will join the hike to be sure to match their personalities. Each hiking is about two hours long and includes transportation to and from the track for around $70 per outing. “Hiking allows dogs lo meet new friends and explore new tracks, smells, and wildlife,” she explains.

Michael Mizenko thinks sending his pet, Ajax, on weekly hikes with Take a Hike has made Ajax a happier dog. Over the past two years, hiking has taught Ajax how to stay off pavement, be more social and remain calm in the car. “It has made him a flexible easygoing guy.” Michael says.

A.Dogs strongly desire their owners to go hiking.

B.Animal health specialists recommend people to do it.

C.It is beneficial for pets’ shape and health.

2What is the second paragraph mainly talking about?

A.Why Brittany founded Take a Hike.

B.How hard the study life of Brittany was.

C.Take a Hike is very popular in the neighborhood.

D.Dog hiking has brought great enjoyment to Brittany.

3What does Brittany want to make sure before taking her customers’ dogs to go hiking?

A.The distance of the track.

B.The character of each dog.

C.The environment of the track.

D.The emotions of both dogs and their owners.

4How often does Michael Mizenko send his pet to hike with Take a Hike?

A.Every day.B.Once a week.

C.Twice a week.D.Every other week.

【题目】 Jazz guitarist Joel Harrison came of age in 1960s and 70s' Washington, but he never saw it as a place to build a career as an adventurous, progressive musician. Everywhere he's gone, however, he's taken the sounds of the city with him.
