参考范文

Dear Anna，

I’m deeply sorry but I have to let you know that I lost the English novel The

Necklace which I borrowed from you a month ago.I like it so much that I took it

with me wherever I went.Unfortunately，the other day during a trip to Beijing I was in such a hurry to get off the train that I forgot to put it back in my bag.I’m so sorry as I know the novel was a birthday present from your father.

Hard as I tried，I was not able to find the novel in any bookstore here.I wonder if you would like to take the Chinese­English version which will hopefully help improve your Chinese.

Looking forward to your reply.

Yours，

Li Hua

Ⅱ.读后续写

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Forty­three years seems like a long time to remember the name of a mere acquaintance.I have forgotten the name of an old lady，who was a customer on the paper route in my hometown when I was a twelve­year­old boy.Yet it remains in my memory that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness that I shall never forget. On a winter afternoon，a friend and I were throwing stones onto the roof of the old lady’s house from a spot near her backyard.The object of our play was to observe how the stones changed to missiles(导弹，发射物) as they rolled to the roof’s edge and shot out into the yard like comets falling from the sky.I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it out.The stone was too smooth，however，so it slipped from my hand as I let it go and headed straight not for the roof but for a small window.At the sound of broken glass，we knew we were in trouble.

I was too scared about getting caught that first night to be concerned about the old lady with the broken window in winter.However，a few days later，when I was sure that I hadn’t been discovered，I started to feel guilty for her

misfortune.She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper，but I was no longer able to act comfortably in her presence. I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money，and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I calculated would cover the cost of her window.I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it.

注意：

1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

2．应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；

3．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；

4．续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。

Paragraph 1：

I waited until it was dark，snuck up(偷偷地走近) to the old lady’s house.

Paragraph 2：

After several cookies，I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag.

参考范文

I waited until it was dark，snuck up(偷偷地走近) to the old lady’s house.I put the letter through the letter shot in her door explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window.My soul felt comfortable.I could have the forgiveness of me，and could look straight into the old lady’s kind eyes in the yard.The next day，I handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warm smile that I was receiving from her.She thanked me for the paper and gave me a bag of cookies she had made herself.I thanked her and went on to eat the cookies as I continued my route. After several cookies，I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag.When I opened the envelope，I was surprised deeply.Inside were the seven dollars and a short note that said，“I’m proud of you.”

Ⅲ.概要写作

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Jane is an Asian student studying in the United States.She liked the United

States very much.But during Jane’s study there，she found that foreign students had cultures that were different on many levels from the culture in the USA.So the foreign students had some problems in getting along with the foreign students.“There are language problems，and maybe some social skills，such as small talk，that are possibly not as important in their native countries，where it’s not as important to start friendships with small talk，” she said.

During that time，she also found that many East Asian students blamed themselves for their limited friendships with Americans.The vast majority blamed themselves，actually for not speaking the language well enough，not knowing the culture well enough.There were also some comments about the college environment，like many of them were in the natural sciences or worked in labs where they were surrounded by other East Asians.

Actually，a report from the Chronicle of Higher Education shows that many foreign students feel lonely or unwelcome in the USA and have problems in making new friends.This upset them.It is believed that if you want to make new friends in a foreign school in a foreign country，be nice to someone and thoughtful of someone，like saying “hi” in the hall，or giving congratulations on a job well done.It can make wonders.
