5．I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict．I'm left （41）C．Why do these people create mistrust and problems，especially with those from other  （42）D？
I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s，（43）Dchildren from different races and religions played and studied （44）Ain harmony．At that time my family lived a stone's （45）Bfrom Ismail's．And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an Indian Hindu-we just （44）Dour differences．Perhaps，our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice，well （47）Bor otherwise．
We were nine when we became friends．During the school holidays，we'd（48）Athe countryside on our bicycles，hoping to（49）Che unexpected．At times Ismail would accompany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town．We would be glad of his（50）D．
When I was twelve，my family moved to Johor．Ismail's family later returned to their village，and I（51）Atouch with him．
One spring afternoon in 1983，I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur．I（52）Ay destination．The driver acknowledged my（53）Bbut did not move off．Instead，he looked （54）Dat me．"Raddar？"he said，using my childhood nickname（绰号）．I was astonished at being so（55）Aaddressed （称呼）．Unexpectedly!It was Ismail!Even after two（56）Dwe still recognized each other．Grasping his shoulder，I felt a true affection，something（57）Cto describe．
If we can allow our children to be（58）Bwithout prejudice，they'll build friendships with people，regardless of race or religion，who will be（59）Btheir side through thick and thin．On such friendships are societies built and（60）Cwe can truly be，as William Shakespeare once wrote，"we happy few，we band of brothers"．

4．Blind imitation is self-destruction．To those who do not recognize their unique worth．Imitation appears attractive：to those who know their strength．Imitation is unacceptable．
In the early stages of skill or character development，imitation is helpful．When I first learned to cook，I used recipes and turned out some tasty dishes．But soon I grew bored．Why follow someone else's way of cooking when I could create my own？Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child's bicycle； they help you get going，but once you find your own balance，you fly faster and farther without relying on them．
In daily life，imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously （下意识地） hold poor role models．If，as a child，you observed people whose lives were bad，you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did．If you do not make strong choices for yourself，you will get the results of the weak choices of others．
In the field of entertainment，our culture glorifies celebrities．Those stars look great on screen．But when they step off screen，their personal lives may be disastrous．If you are going to follow someone，focus on their talent，not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors．
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique．Think of the movies，books，teachers，and friends that have affected you most deeply．They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration，not desperation．The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them，but by those who do what has been done inside them．Creative people have an endless resource of ideas．The problem a creator faces is not running out of material； it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination．
Study your role models，accept the gifts they have given，and leave behind what does not server．Then you can say，"I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors'tragedies and stories，and know that they are cheering me on．"

33．To avoid the bad result of imitation，we shouldC．
A．forget daily fear and pain       B．ask others for decisions
C．choose the right example        D．stay away from stars
34．According to the author，the world moves on because of those who areA．
A．desperate to insurance others with their knowledge
B．willing to accept others'ideas
C．eager to discover what their ancestors did
D．ready to turn their original ideas into reality
35．What is the author's purpose in writing this passage？C
A．To highlight the importance of creatively．
B．To criticize the characters of role models．
C．To compare imitation with creation．
D．To explain the meaning of success．

Dear Tom，Thank you very much for your invitation．I'd like to accept it and take this opportunity to introduce the traditional Chinese painting to foreign friends，but I'm sorry to inform you that I can't（谢绝邀请，表明写信的原因）．
The reason is that I am busy preparing myself for the coming College Entrance Examination（ 说明理由）．I strongly recommend my friend Mary，who is the most suitable choice to take my place next week（高分句型一）．She began to learn painting at an early age and has a good knowledge of the traditional Chinese painting，which，together with her active personality and perfect spoken English，will help to make your activity a success（高分句型二）（推荐朋友Mary参加，并说明原因）．
Sorry again for any inconvenience caused by my absence（再次表达歉意）．Best wishes．

Why People Use Pseudonyms（艺名）You can't choose the name given at birth，but in many countries you can change it legally when you reach adulthood．Of course，most people never change their names even if they feel （31）J about them．However，some people do take this course of （32）A-particularly artists!What makes an artist want to change their name？Sometimes it's for purely （33）E reasons，such as the Nobel Prize winning poet from Chile，Neftali Reyes．He didn't want his father to know he was writing poems，so he changed his name to Pablo Nenda when he was a young man．At other times the reason may appear （34）K； take the case of Portuguese poet Femando Pessoa，who wrote under 75different names．The reason？"When I use a different name，I always write in a different way，"he explained．In most cases，however，people do it for social，historical，political，or cultural reasons．Here are some of the most common：
The person's name is just too long and difficult to remember．Let's be honest，Madonna Louise Ciccone is not as easy to remember as just （35）F"Madonna"．And short names are easier to remember．William Bradley became Brad Pitt and Edson Arantes do Nascimento became Pele．
Sometimes names are changed for marketing purpose．For example，if a name sounds too foreign，it may be changed to something that is more （36）I in a market．So in the film world，Ramon Estevez （37）C the name Martin Sheen．Or maybe the artist's real name doesn't sound very attractive---Chad Everett does sound a lot better than Raymond Cramton!
Artists sometimes choose the name of someone they admire．Robert Zimmerman changed his name to Bob Dylan because of his （38）Bfor the Welsh poet，Dylan Thomas．
Another reason may be （39）G：in the past，women found it very difficult to become a well-received writer．To avoid this situation，they sometimes gave themselves men's name，so the English author Mary Ann Evans consequently became George Eliot，and she did get her books （40）H!

1．Steven Paul Jobs was born in California USA，on Feb.24，1955．In 1974he dropped out of college to work （21）asa video game designer．His initial aim was to save pretty enough money to go to India and experience Buddhism．
Back in the US in the autumn of 1974，Jobs went into business，with his high school friend，Stephen Wozniak．Jobs held the opinion （22）thatcomputers would appeal to a broad audience．Although he had long hair and dressed casually，he managed （23）to obtain（obtain） finance for his first marketable computer，the Apple II，in 1977．Apple Inc．（24）was formed（form） and met with immediate success．Seven years later，Jobs introduced the Macintosh computer in a brilliantly designed demonstration．However，the sales of the first Macs were （25）disappointing（disappoint）．This led to such tensions in his company （26）thatin 1985he resigned．
In 1986，Jobs brought Pixar Animation Studios．Over the following decade he built Pixar into a large corporation （27）that/which，among other achievements，produced the first full-length film to be completely computer-animated，Toy Story，in 1995．
In late 1996，Apple，（28）faced（face） with huge financial losses and on the verge of collapse，asked Jobs to come back．He accepted，and quickly engineered an award-winning advertising campaign and urged customers to"think different"and buy Macintoshes．In 1998，he introduced the iMac，an egg-shaped computer that offered high-speed processing at a reasonable price．It was （29）an instant success．Steve Jobs had saved his company and，in the process，re-established （30）himself as a master high-technology marketer．

20．假如你是李华，你和交流生Stephen所在的合唱队（choir）进入了决赛．请给他写一封电子邮件，告知这一信息，通知他训练的时间和地点，并让他推荐一首合唱的英文歌曲．

19．Several countries in Asia celebrate the Lunar New Year in their own way．But dragon and lion dances in Chinatowns all over the world have helped to make China's New Year the most famous．These days growing （61）numbers（number） of people who are not of Chinese origin are joining in．In Tokyo window cleaners dress up like the animals of the Chinese Shengxiao．America，Canada and New Zealand have published memorial stamps for the year of the rooster．Last year New York City made the Lunar New Year （62）a school holiday for the first time．
The spread of the Spring Festival is （63）partly（part） due to recent immigration from China：9.5million Chinese people （64）have moved（move） abroad since 1978，many of （65）whomare far richer than earlier waves of immigrants．
Aware （66）of China's growing economic and political influence，foreign leaders have noticed the occasion．Britain's prime minister，Theresa May，has given a video address，a tradition （67）started（start） in 2014by her predecessor （前任）．This year's World Economic Forum in Davos was held a week earlier than usual （68）to avoid（avoid） conflicting with China's New Year．
China hopes the festival will promote （69）Its（it） cultural"soft power"abroad．It may give the Chinese people （70）satisfaction（satisfy） to see foreigners enjoy such festivities．

18．One of my fondest （61）memories（memory） as a child is going to the river and sitting on the bank．There I would watch the bamboo trees bend （62）under the pressure from the wind and then watch them return （63）elegantly（elegant） to their original position when the wind （64）had died或died（die） down．
When I think about the bamboo trees'ability （65）to return（return） to its original position，the word"resilience（适应力）"comes to mind．Have you ever felt like you were at your breaking point？Life is （66）a mixture of good times and bad times，and happy moments and unhappy moments．Always keep （67）it in mind that a measure of hope will take you through the unpleasant situation．With hope for a better tomorrow，things may not be as bad as they seem to be．The unpleasant situation may be much （68）easier（easy） to deal with if the result is worth （69）having（have）．
The next time you are experiencing one of bad times or unhappy moments，（70）which take you close to your breaking point，bend but don't break!

17．假如你是李华，今年将要参加高考．你的老师和父母对你大学专业的选择提出异议，为此你很苦恼．请你根据提示，用英语给你的美国笔友Bob写一封邮件，谈谈你的想法，并征求笔友的建议．

你的想法：…
2．注意：1）词数100左右；

Dear Bob，
I am at a loss nowadays．
My teacher and my parents have different opinions about my major in college．On the one hand，my parents say I should choose law as my major，who think that our society is in great need of skilled workers and experts in law and I will find a good job after graduation．（高分句型一）On the other hand，my teacher thinks I should specialize in a foreign language because I have the gift for learning and applying language，which will dig out my potential better．（高分句型二）Compared to their opinions，I am ready to major in finance because I feel that it will prepare me for a career in the world of business，let alone make more money．（高分句型三）
What should I do？
I am looking forward to your advice．
Yours，
Li Hua．

要求：
1．包括所有要点，可适度发挥，以使行文连贯；
2．开头已经写好，但不计入总词数；
3．词数100左右．
Dear editor，
Thank you for reading my email．
Every student will be faced with the question when he passes the college entrance examinations：Should I choose a good major or a good university first？（高分句型一）Some students prefer to consider majors first so that they can learn what they are interested in．It will also make it possible for thereto take their favourite job in future．Those who think differently believe that the environment is important to one's development and that graduates from leading universities are often more likely to find a good job．（高分句型二）
In my opinion，the best choice is a good major at a good university．If we cannot obtain both，the first thing to consider is a good major，because no matter where we study，we can still achieve a lot in a certain field if we try our best．（高分句型三）
Best wishes!
Yours truly，
Li Hua．
