【题目】Dear President,

Remember the boy who was picked up by the ambulance (急救车) in Syria? Can you please go to get him and bring him to our home?

Park in the driveway or on the street and we will be waiting for you guys with flags, flowers, and balloons. We will give him a family and he will be our brother. Catherine, my little sister, will be collecting butterflies and fireflies for him.

In my school, I have a friend from Syria, Omar, and I will introduce him to Omar. We can all play together. We can invite him to birthday parties and he will teach us another language. We can teach him English too, just like my friend Aoto from Japan.

Please tell him that his brother will be Alex who is a very kind boy, just like him. Since he won’t bring toys and doesn’t have toys, Catherine will share her big blue stripy white bunny (a word for a rabbit, used especially by or to children). And I will share my bike and I will teach him how to ride it. I will teach him additions and subtractions (加减法) in math. And he can try on Catherine’s favourite watch, which she doesn’t let anyone touch.

Thank you very much! I can’t wait for you to come!

【题目】 One of the biggest street parties in the world took over London recently.

The Notting Hill Carnival (嘉年华), which took place from August 28th to 29th, is regarded as the largest street party in Europe.

But in these troubled times – with terrorist attacks and religious ( 宗 教 ) anger on the front page of newspapers – is it suitable to spend the weekend dancing in the streets without a care in the world?

Right now, ―People must stand up for themselves, said Patrick Bulllock, 53, an artist who builds floats (花车) for the parade (游行) each year. ―The smiles and dancing do not stop all weekend – the spirit of the carnival can’t be broken.

The festival, now in its 50th year, started in 1966. But it was much smaller – around 1,000 people attended – and began as a way to bring together the different groups who called London’s Notting Hill their home.

Creator Rhaune Laslett, herself half Native American, half Russian, had the idea for the first gathering after having a vision. ―I could see the streets full of people in brightly colored costumes, they were dancing and following bands and they were happy, she told the Caribbean Times in 1989. ―Men, women, children, black, white, brown, all laughing.

During a period of racial tension (种族冲突), Laslett believed that music and laughter could bring together the different nationalities in her west London neighborhood.

“We felt that although West Indians, Africans, Irish and many other nationalities all live in a very small area, there is very little communication between us,” she explained in an interview in 1966, shortly after the first carnival took place.

Over the years, the party has grown into its modern day form.

"Our participants find themselves in a space of music, color and creativity which brings about the emotion of joy and encourages the freedom to express themselves," said Debora, Alleyne De Gazon, the carnival’s creative director.

However, not everyone wants to join in. "I can’t go out from my door on that day with all the rubbish around," said Fortuoso Cruz, who lives in London.

But when a million people come together for a weekend of eating, laughter and music – forgetting about life’s troubles for 48 hours – perhaps a little rubbish is a price worth paying.

1When did the Notting Hill Carnival start?

A.In 1989.B.In 1978.C.In 1966.D.In 1950.

2What was Rhaune Laslett’s original purpose when she created the carnival?

A.To show off the neighborhood’s music and dancing.

B.To invite people around the world to have a great party.

C.To encourage people to show their creativity in the street.

D.To allow people in the neighborhood to communicate more.

3How does Fortuoso Cruz think of the carnival?

A.It has caused him a lot of trouble.B.It should be canceled immediately.

C.It has brought a lot of fun to his life.D.More people should be invited to take part in it.

4Which word best describes the author’s attitude toward the carnival?

A.Refused.B.Supportive.C.Complaining.D.Disappointed.

【题目】 Friendship Day is a great day for celebrating friendship. It falls on the first Sunday of August every year. Celebrating the festival was firstly started by the US in 1935. But now this doesn’t only happen in the US. People in other countries like it, too.

People love the idea of spending the day with friends all over the world. With more and more countries joining in the celebrations, Friendship Day soon became an international festival.

Between 1935 and 1997, Friendship Day didn’t have a symbol, like Santa Claus for Christmas. However, in 1997, the United Nations named Winnie the Pooh as the world’s Ambassador(大使) of Friendship.

Except the celebration activities such as exchanging cards, flowers and gifts, some people may have parties with their friends. Some may have lunch or dinner together. Others may hang out or go to the movies with friends on this special day. These are popular among all age groups from teenagers to old people.

Although Friendship Day and its celebrations may have changed over the years, the most important idea behind the festival remains the same. People enjoy the moment they spend together and express love and care for their friends.
