Dear Ms. Wang,

I am writing to inform you of some arrangements about my composition course and Latin course next year.

I’ve decided to re-establish the 5-paragraph essay as the goal for the composition course. I interviewed some of my former students and they all agreed that being able to write critically and continuouslywas important to them.

So next academic year, Term 1 will be like always: sentences to paragraphing. And Term 2 will work toward the 5-paragraph essay. The final 3 weeks of Term 2 will be reserved tointroduce writing for TOEFL and CEE. By that time, if the students have done their job correctly, then they should be able to write quite well.

As for the Latin course, I will post notices around campus next week so that the students will understand what’s on offer before I actually introduce the course. A number of students already emailed me about the course.

I am sure you don’t understand what a big deal our opening this program at our school is. People around the world are interested in what we plan to do. There are many rewards available to the students who succeed in the course. Please share what I have said with the administration. I want them to understand the importance of this course. The reason I have contacted these colleagues (actually Oxford contacted me) isthatI have confidence in our students and in myself. I know that when those professors meet our students and hear them speaking and reading Latin, they are going to be amazed. It will open all sorts of doors for students that they never even thought of knocking on.

Well, that’s it for now. I’ll see you soon.

Yours,

Edward Johnson

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to complain to a sweater, a jacket and a pair of shoes what I bought from your online shop last month. Fortunately, when the order arrived I realized that the sweater had the hole in it. Also when I tried on the jacket I noticed that it had a button missed and was not the size I have ordered. And the style of the shoes were not what I had asked for. I am returning to the clothing. I would appreciate if I could get a fully refund. I am looking forward to your reply.

Subject：Hi!

Dear Mr．Mallory，

I am writing to tell you my deep disappointment for my experience at Lingua Nova English summer school in the first two weeks of July．I had been thoroughly looking forward to learning English and learning about culture in the UK，but I am afraid that my time at your summer school failed to live up to my expectations．

Your brochure states that the student accommodation is situated "in the heart of Edinburgh"．This is misleading as my accommodation was，in fact，situated a good fifty minutes bus ride from the city center in what I can only describe as a less than picturesque part of the suburbs．

In addition，the activity programme did not reflect the fact that we were located in one of Europe's most interesting and historical cities: one evening activity consisted of a walk to a nearby park，another was a trip to a narrow street which was not usually used by cars．Finally，on our one trip into the city center our "guide" readily admitted that she was not from Edinburgh，and had in fact never visited the city before．I had been eagerly expecting a guided tour of Scotland's treasures．In fact，I was left in the city center with no map and told to "check things out" while your employee went shopping in Princes Street．This was a long awaited trip and cost me over two years' hard work and saving．Although I do have positive memories of my trip (my English teachers were knowledgeable and inspiring)，the accommodation and activity programme were wholly unsatisfactory．

I would like to get my money back for the accommodation and would really appreciate a reply within the next two weeks．

Yours sincerely，

Jovan Gagic

1.Jovan wrote the email to __________．

A．provide information

C．express dissatisfaction

2.According to Jovan，the guide __________．

A．organized cultural activities

B．failed to perform duties

C．had a good knowledge of the city

D．received punishment for bad behavior

3.What effect does Jovan want his email to have on Mr．Mallory?

A．To make him feel sorry．

B．To cause him worry．

C．To bring him disappointment．

D．To get him into trouble．

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to 36 about the fat body of a(n) 37 I found in my ‘Vegetable Surprise’ last Thursday. It was 38 a surprise to me! A bad one, though. And even worse was that 39 when I realized only half of the white insect was left there on top of my green vegetables.

I informed the 40 of my problem and I did not expect him to 41 and tell me that insects were a good source of protein. I am a vegetarian!

In fact, I have eaten in your restaurant many times 42 and this is the first time I have been 43 . And I do not feel we should have been 44 for this meal, so I would ask you to 45 the cost. I await your reply.

Yours faithfully,

Mr. John Smith

Dear Patti

I’m writing to you for some advice on my studies. As you know, football is a very popular sport in the world and I am attracted to it and I have fallen in love with it, which makes me feel so crazy. I have spending lots of time doing many things related to it, like watching football matches, reading newspapers and magazines, and searching the Web for more information about football. As a result, it has certainly disturbed my normal study. Though I know to be a football fan is my hobby and my major adjective is to learn more knowledge in school, I can’t concentrate on my lessons and gradually I am tired of them. I am still a senior middle school student, and I’ll have my own business even when I grow up, so I am not likely to do a job in the field of football. But now I can’t stop myself from getting involved further with football. So I feel very depressed and want to know how to deal with the contradiction .

Sincerely yours,

Dear Mr. Wolfson，

The purpose of this letter is to inform you of one of our citizens who I believe should receive some special recognition for dedicated (敬业的) community service. The person I recommend is Elizabeth Samuelson. I believe you know her in your position as volunteer coordinator (协调员)．

I have known Elizabeth for more than 20 years as both a friend and a neighbor. During that time I have seen her work tirelessly on scores of community projects and committees. As far as I know, she has never received any kind of recognition from the community for her work. I believe she should be given some sort of special recognition.

Just last year alone, she worked on at least six different community projects including the Park Renewal Project and the Heritage Homes Fund­Raising Banquet. In addition, she is a weekly driver for the Meals­on­Wheels program and she visits patients in the care unit on a regular basis. Whenever a project or committee needs her, she will put herself into the work wholeheartedly. I'm sure that if you check with a few of your staff members who have been there over the years, they will confirm Elizabeth's community service record and probably be able to add many examples to the few I have given here. By the way, Elizabeth has no idea that I am writing this. She is a humble (谦虚的) person, and if she were aware of it, she would not allow me to send it.

I thought about writing such a letter about her a number of times in the past but just never took action. Then last week, I noticed in the paper that you sponsor (主办) an annual dinner at which dozens of awards are given out to people with much less community service than Elizabeth. In fact, I checked with her and she has never even been invited to that annual event!

I urge you to correct that omission (疏忽) now and take action to see that Elizabeth is properly recognized for her many years of silent but outstanding service to this community.

Sincerely，

Linda Sullivan

1.Linda is Elizabeth's ________.

A．friend and colleague　 　　 B．neighbor and leader

C．neighbor and worker　 　　 D．friend and neighbor

2.From the letter we know that Linda ________ Elizabeth much.

A．depends on　 　　　 　　　　 B．looks down upon

C．ignores　 　　　　　　　 　　　 D．respects

3.According to the letter, Elizabeth ________.

A．wants to be asked to take part in the annual event

B．contributes much to the community

C．has been invited to the annual dinner

D．has been given a lot of honors

4.What can we learn about Mr.Wolfson from the letter?

A．He knows Linda quite well.

B．He is a careless person.

C．He tries something to reward those who have done much community service.

D．He tries his best to find Elizabeth and do something to reward her.

高三英语阅读理解困难题查看答案及解析

Every year in the first week of English class, some students inform me that writing is too hard. They never write, unless homework requires it. They find the writing process painful and difficult.

How awful it is to be able to speak in a language but not to write in it, especially with its rich vocabulary. Being able to speak but not write is like living in an enormous mansion and never leaving one small room. When I meet students who think they can’t write, I know, as a teacher my duty is to show them the rest of the rooms. My task is to build fluency and accuracy while providing the opportunity in any writing activity to enhance（增强）the moral and emotional development of my students.

One great way to do this is by having students write in a journal in class every day.

Writing ability is like strength training. Writing needs to be done just like exercise; just as muscles grow stronger with exercise, writing skills improve quickly with writing practice daily. I often see a rise in student confidence and performance after only a few weeks of journal writing.

Expressing oneself in writing is one of the most important skills I teach to strengthen the whole students. When my students practice journal writing, they are practicing for their future academic, political, and emotional lives. They build skills so that some say they might write a great novel, a piece of sorely needed legislation（法规）, or the perfect love letter. That they write in their journals every day puts them a step closer to fluency, eloquence（雄辩）and command of the language.

1.What is the purpose of the passage?

A．To encourage students to keep a journal every day.

B．To analyze students’ problems in learning languages.

C．To stress the importance of writing in language learning.

D．To introduce an effective way of improving students’ writing.

2.The underlined phrase “an enormous mansion” in Paragraph 2 refers to students’ ________.

A．writing opportunity                      B．large house

C．large vocabulary                        D．emotional life

3.In the author’s view, what can students benefit from the journal writing?

A．It is beneficial to students’ future career.

B．It can make students more emotional.

C．It is helpful to students’ homework.

D．It can enlarge students’ vocabulary.
