分析 考查应用文中的书信的写作．请你以李华的名义给你的一位美国留学生朋友Peter写一封电子邮件，说明你不能参加本周日在他家举办的生日聚会，要点都已经给出，书信类短文的关键在于要点要全面包括，不能有遗漏和省略．但是要点只是提纲，考生还要在此基础上增加细节，不要逐字逐句翻译，同时注意谋篇布局的顺序，运用合适的连接词连接全文，同时选择高级的词汇和语法项目让文章更有文采．审题时注意本文使用一般现在时，描述要尽量选择简洁的语言，运用合适的语法规则和词汇把各要点都准确表述出．难点在于选择词汇和句型，可以灵活运用高级词汇和固定短语准确表述．还要用适当的连接词被句子连接起来，这样文章显得更连贯．
亮点句型一：I will be absent from your party owing to the fact that the College Entrance Exam is just around the corner，for which I am now quite busy preparing．由于高考即将来临，我将缺席你们的聚会，因为我现在正忙着准备考试．这句话用了非限制性定语从句，which指点前文中的the College Entrance Exam．
亮点句型二：I hope you will forgive me and accept my sincere apologies．我希望你能原谅我并接受我真诚的道歉．这句话用的是宾语从句，宾语从句省略了连接词that．

解答 Dear Peter，
    I am extremely sorry to tell you that I am unable to go to your party this Sunday．It is very kind of you to invite me to your house and I hopefully want to celebrate your birthday with you and express my best wishes to you．Much to my regret，I will be absent from your party owing to the fact that the College Entrance Exam is just around the corner，for which I am now quite busy preparing．（亮点句型一）What's worse，I have caught a bad cold lately and I am really not myself．【不参加的理由】
    I am truly sorry．I hope you will forgive me and accept my sincere apologies．（亮点句型二）I believe we will have many more chances to get together．Shall we make it after the Exam？【再约相聚】

19．Easy Ways to Improve Your Writing Skills
For better or for worse，school is filled with writing homework．Good writing is important for getting a good grade．（36）DLuckily，anyone can improve his or her writing with the right guidance and a little practice．Here are four easy tips to help you improve your writing skills：
1．Organize your thoughts first．
Good writers outline their thoughts before starting putting their pens to paper or hands to a keyboard．Firstly，write out each main topic．Next，list subtopics（小标题） beneath much main topic．Lastly，put the topics and subtopics into a logical（符合逻辑的） order．（37）E
2．Take a standpoint．
Most writing homework asks you to take a position on what you're writing about．（38）C  Your thesis（论点） should determine the content of your writing homework．The stronger your thesis is，and the better you back up your thesis with related information，the stronger your writing will be overall．
3．Don't copy others'homework．
（39）G Most teachers use detective software to catch copycats in the act．Students found copying are usually punished and what's worse，even dismissed（开除）．
4．（40）A
Some students finish writing a passage and then give it to their teachers without checking it．This is a huge mistake．It's likely that there are mistakes that need to be corrected．Additionally，one's work can always be bettered and improved．
Happy writing!
A．Look over and correct．

（37）C Short-term goals cover a period of less than one year．Do you want to get into a good college？Do you want to graduate in the top 10percent of your class？It's important to have short-term goals that are stepping stones to your long-term goals．
Develop a strategy and plan．A strategy might be to study with a group of friends on a regular time．An action plan will include several individual tasks with timing and any cost that might be required．If you are a student，start now to understand how to make goals，strategies and action plans that work．（38）F
（39）AOne of the most important things to be successful in school is to develop good study habits．Good study habits are formed by studying on a regular basis for the amount of time required to learn something．Once good study habits are well formed you will find that learning and success in school become easier．
Seek out other winners．（40）Bthey don't have to be the smartest，but they should be on their way to being the best they can be．Make friends with such people so that you can support each other to be successful in school．

　　There is another way to help your friends or other nearby people to find you．Give them a signal （信号） by shouting or whistling （吹口哨） three times．Any signal given three times is a call for help．

　　If you don't think that you will get help before night comes，try to make a little house---cover up to the holes with branches （树枝） with lots of leaves．Make yourself a soft bed with leaves and grass．
　　What should you do if you get hungry or need drinking water？You would have to leave your little house to look for a river．Don't just walk away．Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back．The most important thing to do when you are lost is-stay in one place．

13．With the summer holiday just around the corner，it seems like everybody is busy planning their vacations．Here are some tips that can help you enjoy your holiday without emptying your pocket：
Travel off-season
Go to your desired destination while the demand is low and take advantage of huge discounts．During the peak season，the hotel and flight prices increase quickly，and you'll likely spend more of your vacation time standing in line due to the rush of tourists．（36）D
（37）A
Websites can help you find discount hotel rooms．Look for places that do not charge extra for children if they use the existing bedding．Stay with the locals．If you and your family are going to stay for a longer period，renting a small apartment is a good choice．
Eat like a local
Why eat at big chain restaurants when you can experience something new？（38）EDuring your family trip，try new food where the locals eat．This will not just save money，but also provide you with a new and different experience．For smaller meals and snacks，avoid restaurants and try street food or other takeout．
Don't hesitate to bargain
Tourist-heavy places are known for overcharging for just about everything．Clothes，travel goodies，souvenirs，etc．are very expensive at these places．（39）F Bargain hard to get the best price．
Choose local transportation
（40）G Instead，take buses，railways or subways，which are always cheaper．If you are planning to stay for a while，you can consider renting a car．Hiring a car is much easier than carrying your bags everywhere if you are moving around a lot．

A．Save on hotels．
B．Surf the Internet while traveling．
C．Therefore，avoid buying anything there．
D．So it's best to find out when the off-season starts．
E．Planning your meals is another way to reduce your travel costs．
F．For this reason，you shouldn't feel ashamed to ask for bargains．
G．As a tourist，avoid taking taxis whenever possible，since they are expensive．
14．Beijing has good airtransport（联运） with most large cities in China，but you need to make reservations in advance．
