Question

Dear Mrs. Johnson,

It is a pleasure to write this letter because it gives me an opportunity to tell you how much I enjoyed my stay with your family last week. It was my first visit to an American family and, at first, 1. _________________. When I saw you and your children waiting for me at the station with warm smiles of welcome on your faces, 2. _________________. You and your wonderful family put me at ease right away.

There are many happy memories of the weekend, and I will keep them with me forever. Above all, I will remember that you made me feel at home. There were so many new and different things for me to see and do. I particularly enjoyed driving through the countryside with Mr. Johnson and you and seeing the charming colors of the leaves on the trees. I liked playing baseball with your sons, Jimmy and Joey. 3.________________. Tell them I will teach them how to play soccer next time. I also had a good time at the city square dance on Saturday night. It was my first square dance, and I cannot forget how friendly and kind everyone around was.

I am back at school again now and I am very happy because I know now a real American family and it is one of the nicest families I have ever met. Because my English is still not very good, 4._______________________. I can only say "Thank you" and hope that someday you will visit my country and I can return your hospitality (款待).

Yours sincerely

Jack

【解析】

试题分析：这是一封感谢信，作者在文中描述了上周末在Mrs. Johnson家中受到的热情款待以及在那儿和这个家庭度过的美好时光，这也使作者真正了解了美国家庭。

1.根据文中上下文作者是第一次去拜访美国家庭，所以起初他担心自己的语言不通，因此选C。

2.根据文中上下文When I saw you and your children waiting for me at the station with warm smiles of welcome on your faces（然而当我看见您和您的孩子在车站等我时，我看到你们的脸上堆满了热情的笑容，）可知作者这时感到了放松，故选E。

3.根据文中信息作者喜欢和immy 和 Joey打棒球，因为他们非常有耐心并且他们在一起玩的很高兴，所以此题选A。

4.根据全文描述及上文原句Because my English is still not very good,（因为我的英语不好），可知作者不知该如何表达自己，所以选B。
