假定你是李华，你的英国笔友Jemry发邮件询间中国人起名字的习惯(practice)，并请你帮他起一个
中文名字。请你回复邮件，内容包括:
1、介绍中国人起名字的习惯:
2.名字常表达的意义(至少两点):
3.给Jcmy起一个中文名字并说明起此名字的理由。
注意:1、词数100左右:2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。
Dear Jerry,
I'm glad to tell you something about the Chinese naming practice.
Unlike your tradition, the family namein China is put first, followed by the given name, which
usually contains one or two Chinese characters. Chinese parents often name a baby with their best wishes
in mind, like wishes for good health, bright future and happiness. Besides, parents also need to consider
how to avoid being teased or given a bad nickname.
As for your Chinese name, how about Jierui? These two characters have a similar pronunciation to
your English name Jerry and in Chinese they mean "outstanding and lucky". I hope you will love this
Chinese name.
Yours,
Li Hua

Once upon a time there was a little boy who became very ill. He had to spend all day in bed,unable to
move. Because other children weren't allowed to come near him,he suffered greatly,and spent his days feeling
sad and blue.
There wasn't much he could do except look out of the window. Time passed, and his feeling of despair
just grew until one day he saw a strangeshape on the window. It was a penguin eating a sausage sandwich.
The penguin squeezed in through the open window, said “Good afternoon"to the boy,turned around, and then
left.
Of course, the boy was very surprised. He was still trying to work out what had happened,when he
sawv a monkey in a nappy （尿布） blowing up a balloon outside his window. At first the boy asked
himself what that could possibly be, but after a while, as more and more crazy-looking characters appeared
outside the window, he burst out laughing and found it hard to stop. Anyone wanting to stop laughing would
never be helped by seeing a pig playing a tambourine（铃鼓），an elephant jumping on a trampoline（蹦
床），or a dog wearing a pair of glasses and talking about nothing except politics.
The litle boy didn't tell anyone about this. Who would have believed him? Even so, those strange
characters ended up putting joy back in his heart, and in his body. Before long, his health had improved so
much that he was able to go back to school again.
There he got to talk to his friends, and told them all the strange things he had seen. Freddie was surprised
but happy to see his classmate. After all, it was quite rare but nice to meet a classmate on a snowy day. They
started to make a snowman together. With their combined efforts, the two boys rolled two snowballs and
brought the small one up to the top of the big one.After that,Freddie inserted three empty cans into the head
as two eyes and a nose,while Dion stuck a short branch under the nose as a smoke pipe. They even took it one
step further by circling round the neck of the snowman with a red scarf. As if by magic, the snowman seemed to
come alive.Looking at the lovely work, Freddie seemed to find a good time outside with Dion's company,with
smiles spreading on his face. Seeing this, Dion suggested going skating on a nearby pond.
There，inside，were all the fancy dress and disguises（化装用具）. .Now，the boy came to cnow
everything. It was his best friend that had been using all these suits and disguises to cheer him Ip.How excited
and touched the boy was! From that day on, the litte boy managed to follow his friend's example. He always
did his best to help those who felt sad and alone.

The changes of my city
Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm honored to deliver a speech on the changes of my city.
Initially, it's obvious that there exist a wide variety of transportation means, making it convenient to
travel around. More importantly, people have promoted their own qualities because the advanced technology
provides us with more access to education. Besides, with the awareness of environmental protection being
raised/strengthened, our living surroundings are becoming more and more beautiful, which adds a great deal
of happiness to people.
As far as I'm concerned, it's the joint efforts of every citizen that have brought such wonderful changes
to the city.
Thank you for your attention.

Freddie woke up to see it was snowing again. The world outside was white. Snow covered the roads,the
cars, the houses, and even the driveway Freddie had just shoveled the day before.
“Ugh,”said Freddie. "No more snow!" He got out of bed and headed to the bathroom for his regular
morning shower. As he reached for the taps, his mother appeared in the doorway.
"I've got news," she said. "There's been so much snow overnight that the roads are slippery and
dangerous. I just heard on the radio that they canceled the school buses for the day."
Freddie groaned,“Then how am I supposed to get to school?”His mom grinned, "I guess you don't. It's
a snow day!”Freddie's eyes lit up. He'd never had a snow day off from school before. What would he do
first?"I'm going back to bed!" Freddie headed back to his room and climbed under the covers. After a few
minutes, he realized that it was too late. He was already wide awake. He headed down to the kitchen and then
sat at the table, watching his father fry the eggs in the pan and his mother pour juice and coffee."It is relaxing,"
thought Freddie.
After breakfast his mother suggested he go out and build a snowman. Freddie wasn't too sure.He didn't
really like the cold and the snow. He'd rather stay inside and play video games.
"You can play afterward, but how about going outside for a little bit? It's good to get some fresh air,
and who knows, you might even enjoy yourself." Freddie unwillingly put on the warm clothes and headed
outside.
Standing alone in the front yard, with the cold wind blowing, was not Freddie's idea of a good time.
Knowing his mom meant what she said, the boy sighed, thinking the quicker he completed his snowman,
the faster he could go back inside to his video games. He set to work packing up some snow into a large
ball.Moments later, he saw one of his friends appearing from his house up the street. Dion waddled out in
his big snow trousers and heavy overcoat. He waved to Freddie.
"Hey there! I saw you out here and thought you might want company. Snow days are awesome!”Dion
laughed.
Freddie was surprised but happy to see his classmate. After all, it was quite rare but nice to meet a classmate on
a snowy day. They started to make a snowman together. With their combined efforts, the two boys rolled two
snowballs and brought the small one up to the top of the big one.After that,Freddie inserted three empty cans
into the head as two eyes and a nose,while Dion stuck a short branch under the nose as a smoke pipe. They
even took it one step further by circling round the neck of the snowman with a red scarf. As if by magic, the
snowman seemed to come alive.Looking at the lovely work, Freddie seemed to find a good time outside with
Dion's company,with smiles spreading on his face. Seeing this, Dion suggested going skating on a nearby
pond.
Delighted at the idea, Freddie excitedly ran into his house. Before he could catch a breath,he asked his
mom for permission to go skating. And before Mom could say something, he had got the skating supplies in
hand and dashed out. One moment witnessed the two boys gliding across the pond, with cold wind rushing
past their faces; another moment saw the two boys falling down and struggling up, laughter echoing through
the falling snow. All too soon, it came time for lunch.Lying on the sofa,exhausted Freddie seemed to understand
学科网（北京）股份有限公司what a good time meant: A good time must be a time with a friend's company.

假定你是李华，你收到你的美国朋友 Tom 的来信。他听说在中国通过扫描二维码（scan R
codes）就可以轻松实现移动支付（mobile payment），感到不可思议。请你写封邮件告移动支付在
中国的相关情况。内容包括：
1．在中国最流行，提供了便利；2．快捷且强大的功能：如买早餐，买地铁票；3．改变我们的生活。

Dear Tom,
I am delighted to hear from you. You asked me in your last letter about the mobile payment in China
and the following information may give you a rough sketch.
Mobile payment has made people's daily life more and more convenient in China. We can buy breakfast
on the street and tickets at the subway station by scanning the QR codes. This is a glimpse into the life of
most Chinese-allowing us to bid farewell to the wallet and bank card.
Mobile payment has greatly changed people's life in China. I'm wondering if mobile payment is popular
in your country. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,

Dear Jack,
How is everything going with you? As you mentioned, online education has gained a rising popularity in
recent years, which triggers a debate about its impact. And now I'd like to share my opinion with you.
Generally speaking, its advantages can be seen as follows. First, it offers students easier access to star
teachers, wherever they live. What's more, the fee is much lower than that of offline courses.
Admittedly, distance learning is not without disadvantages. Students are easily distracted by computer
games or social media, and most courses are lacking in interaction.
From my perspective, the biggest advantage of distance learning is its flexibility, which means people
are able to learn at their own pace. It is therefore an exciting development with wide and far-reaching
学科网（北京）股份有限公司effects.

Li Hua
话题三 亲情
Carter enjoyed riding the school bus home. The ride home gave him some time to relax after a busy day
of the fifth grade. He usually sat alone and enjoyed that too.With four siblings（兄弟姐妹）he didn't get
much time alone. Sometimes he sat with his younger brother, Jackson, but Jackson was sick at home today.
The bus stopped and the tallest boy in his class, Dexter, stepped off followed by his younger brother,
Billy. As the bus pulled away, Carter looked back over his shoulder to watch the boys.Dexter was yelling and
waving his hands at his little brother. Billy said something Carter could not hear. Dexter yelled,gave his
younger brother a hard shove and knocked him to the ground.Billy was on the ground wiping his eyes, but
Dexter walked away.
Carter turned in his seat， feeling disgusted. He hated seeing little kids get picked on（欺负）.The
sight of Billy on the ground crying was burned into his memory. He tried to thinkof something else.
He thought of the model car he was working on at home, a 1967 Corvette. He started building it over a week
ago and just finished putting it together last night. Tonight, as soon as he finished his homework, he could
start painting the car. That is his favorite part. He already had the perfect color of blue picked out.
He hurried off the bus, ran through his yard,and breezed through the kitchen with a quick hello to his
mom. She was making spaghetti, which smelled delicious. He ran up the stairs two at a time and rushed
into his room.
“Surprise!" his brother Jackson said, throwing his arms into the air.
"What are you doing in my room? I thought you were sick!"
“I feel better!”
"What's on your face? Are you bleeding?”
"No! I'm not bleeding." Jackson wiped his face. "It's probably just paint. Look! Look what I did!" He
pointed at the desk in the corner of Carter's room.

of red! "Why did you do that?" Carter yelled loudly."I just wanted to surprise you!" Jackson grinned, with his 预
eyes gleaming. "Isn't it cool?" he continued. Carter could feel the anger growing, bubbling up inside him, his
hands curling into fists. Astonished at Carter's extreme anger,Jackson was frozen to the spot, innocent tears
rolling down."I thought you would like it..."he murmured with his head drooping. Looking at Jackson, Carter
couldn't help imagining his little brother spending the whole day carefully painting the car.
Carter took a deep breath and then unfolded his fi sts . Picturing the scene that Billy sat on the ground wiping his
eyes as his big brother Dexter walked away, Carter stepped toward the desk where the car was still drying.
Carter wasn't sure what to say. He didn't want to lie, but he didn't want to hurt his brother's feelings either.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Jackson was only trying to surprise him. So he stroked Jackson on the clown-like face and comforted him, "A
sweet surprise!" Suddenly, a big and bright smile spread across Jackson's little face.

Dear Jonathan,
How time flies! We haven't seen each other for almost one year since you went back home.I am writing
to ask for your advice on organizing an activity featuring English, hoping you can help me organize a
successful event.
I, as the student in charge, have made a plan that this activity will be held next month in our school
library in the form of a drama competition. The aim of the competition is to arouse students'interest in
learning English and literature. The students will take part in this competition representing their classes. One
class, one team. What's more, the dramas they choose can be either English dramas or Chinese dramas, but
all should be performed in English. I do believe this competition can not only enhance students' English level
but also improve students' all-round ability.
Dear Jonathan, do you think my plan is practical? Can you recommend any dramas that are suitable for
the high school students in China to perform? I would appreciate it a lot if you could give me some
suggestions. Looking forward to your reply.

话题四 善意的举动
Over the years, I've been guilty of hurriedly shutting the front door to many strangers when they came
to my home knocking with the intention of selling things. I hated it when they tried their best to persuade me
to buy the things they promoted. But earlier this year, a dear friend of mine,Linda,had an experience that
changed my mind and attitude towards these “intruders".
Last winter, Linda went through a very messy divorce and was very depressed. So she quit her job and
left Los Angeles, where she encountered her ex-husband in college. She flew to Boston on the east coast of
the US. Later, she settled in a new neighborhood in East Boston. However,shortly afterwards， the company
where she worked went bankrupt（破产）.Suffering a series of bitter blows, she fell ill, a severe case of flu.
She had to stay at home for the whole week,feeling extremely bad and hopeless.
Early one morning, Linda lay in bed, feeling painful all over. Then all of a sudden, there was an upsetting
knock on her front door. Struggling out of the bed, she dragged herself to the window.There，outside， she 篇第

saw a young lady carefully holding some leaflets（传单）and a TV set model.She knew of a large TV set
establishment nearby and assumed a message was about to be gently delivered. "This is the last thing I need 测
today." She muttered to herself and hesitantly opened the door.
Coughing bitterly, Linda stuck her head out. "Excuse me, madam..." the young lady said with a smile.
"I'm sorry but I am not the slightest bit interested in any TV whatever,"Linda interrupted her impatiently."As a
matter of fact, I am feeling terribly awful."“Is there anything I can do for you,madam?"the young lady asked
with concern. "No, thanks, just leave me alone." Linda then shut the door in her face. The young lady politely
turned and left in silence.
A few hours later,another knoc k . Linda glanced out of the window and to her surprise, there at the door was
the same lady, back again. Really annoyed this time, she opened the door. “Why are you coming again?" Linda
shouted at her angrily, trying to shut the door fast. But before she could do tha, she saw a worried look on the
lady's face. Then the young lady handed Linda a bag. She explained that she purchased some cough medicine
from a nearby drugstore and hoped that Linda could feel a little better and get a quick recovery.
Linda was surprised by this lovely action. She felt a surge of guilt, with tears streaming down her cheeks.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Linda took over the medicine and invited the lady in warmly. Being new to the area,she didn't know many
neighbors or people who could assist her. She sincerely thanked the lady and apologized to the lady for what
she did before. Later, the lady left and continued to knock at the doors holding leaflets. After she related this
story to me,I thought about how touching this deed really was. I also realized that thinking about others and
showing kindness are the real meaning of love.
话题五：环境保护
假如你是李华，你的美国朋友Mike正在写关于环保的论文，希望向你了解你周边的低
碳生活的情况，但因为你临时有事，原定见面时间需要推迟。请给 Mike写一封邮件，说明

Dear Mike,
I hate to say sorry, but there is a change in my school arrangement. So I am afraid I won't be able to
keep my appointment to discuss low-carbon life with you.
I sincerely apologize to you for any inconvenience caused by the unexpected change. I suggest we put
it off until 3 pm next Thursday. Will that be fine with you? Good news is that a lecture concerning low-carbon
life is scheduled to be held this week, in which each individual is required to get started on reducing our own
carbon footprints, ranging from taking public transport, sending e-greeting cards to saying no to plastic bags.
Such a low-carbon life, to some extent, makes my life more environmentally friendly. A visit will definitely
deepen your understanding of low-carbon life.
Indeed sorry to have put you in such great trouble.

话题五 人与动物
My very first fur baby was a white cat named Rebel. I got him from the Animals' Center,and he quickly
took over the house and my heart. He was almost six months old when he disappeared,and I was
heartbroken.
I searched for him everywhere, talking to the neighbours, putting up posters, and even offering a
reward. I checked the shelter and the emergency vet clinic to see if he had been injured or picked up. No
one had seen him, so I kept searching.
I lived in the city, close to a main road, and Rebel didn't have “street smarts" because he was an indoor
cat. I also had an idea that if he got lost, he wouldn't be able to find his way home.Every time I went out, I
would search for him as I drove down the road. Nothing.
Weeks went by with no sign of my cat. Everyone said I had to accept the result that was certain to
happen-either he was dead, or someone else had him and was giving him a good home.I didn't accept that.
I just couldn't.
After two weeks with no sign of him, I put his bed, toys, food, bowls, and litter box into storage so I
wouldn't have to walk by the sad reminders every day. But I still wasn't ready to give up.
One morning, I left for work a few minutes early and started walking to the bus stop a block away. It
was a nice autumn day, pleasantly cold and sunny-a good day for a walk. I arrived at the bus stop and
checked to see if the bus was coming,but I was still a little early. Something told me to keep going, so I
decided to walk to the next bus stop. I got there and saw the bus coming, but I just kept walking and watching
the bus swiftly pass by, knowing I was going to be late for work. But something told me to keep going.
I continued to walk for another twenty minutes. All of a sudden, a white cat came into sight.It was
busy searching for food in a green dustbin. The delightful thought that it might be my cat urged me to walk
closer. The skinny cat looked ragged with its dirty and messy fur. What's worse,it had an extremely awful
smell. However, I was quite sure it was my cat-Rebel. I called his name and he purred at me with delight and
学科网（北京）股份有限公司then quickly jumped into my arms as I knelt by his side. A wave of happiness swept over me because I had
finally found him.
I turned around and carried him home . He felt at ease and secure in my arms all the way. The moment
I stepped into the house, he let out a mew of delight as if he told me he previously lived here. I fed him some
food and water and then gave him a hot bath. He looked a bit refreshed and enjoyed everything I did for
him.Having decided to keep him company, I phoned my boss to make an apology and ask for a day's leave.
Rebel was crouching on the sofa as he always liked to do.With a beam of sunlight falling on the ground,
everything looked so wonderful. “It is a nice day,isn't it?" I said to myself, smiling.

话题六 灾难救援
About half a mile behind our Minnesota farm lay a pond. In summer, my brother Harry and I would
run through a stand of oak trees to skip stones there. The pond wore a collar of black mu1d.It was not a place
for swimming.
In late summer， the pond would be covered by a green and bubbly scum（起泡的浮渣）.Sometimes
a strong, unpleasant smell rose from it. We stayed away.
When winter came, the pond was once again an inviting place. One day when ice covered it,Harry
said to me,“Try walking across."
The ice looked solid. No water showed through it, but I hesitated. "Go ahead,"Harry urged."Try it.
You're lighter than I am. If the ice holds, we can run and slide carefully on it. It'll be fun." I wanted to please
Harry, and I thought about the fun of a long slide on the ice. I began to slide across the pond.
In the middle of the pond， the ice gave way with a sudden crack（裂缝）！I stretched out（伸
出）my arms. The next thing I knew was that I was hanging on tothe edge of a hole in the ice by arms
outstretched on the ice. From my shoulders down I hung in icy water. I thought of the bottom of the pond. I
knew it would be black and awful down there,full of mud and maybe rotting creatures.
I tried to climbout of the hole, but when I got a knee on the ice, it broke like window glass.Again and
again I tried to get out. Again and again the ice broke into pieces. The hole widened.I was wearing a coat of
heavy material. As it became completely wet, it dragged me down. I was tired of the struggle and rested with
my arms stretched out on the ice.
I looked at Harry on shore. He seemned rooted to the spot. "I can't get out!" I screamed whenI caught
my breath.
He turned and ran from the pond . He turned and ran from the pond. Staring at his familiar figure out of
sight,my mind went blank. My heart ached, tears streaming down my cheeks. The icy water pierced my skin
with needle-like chill. After what seemed to be centuries of fruitless waiting, I was on the verge of collapse.It
was at that moment that I saw Harry running towards me with a large, black, V-shaped oak branch.My wory
gave way to relief in no time. He lay on his stomach,pushing the branch before him and wound his way towards
me. I grabbed the branch immediately and was ultimately dragged out of the icy water by Harry. What a
narrow escape! We staggered home, with my wet clothes dripping and my shoes squishing and squirting water.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司When I crashed through the kitchen door, sobbing, Mum rushed over. Looking at me shivering with
coldness, she asked me in surprise,“What had happened?” Before I answered, she quickly took off my wet
coat and gave me a hot bath. After then, she asked me to rest on the bed. I sobbed out my grievances to her
and Harry was lectured about getting me into such a trouble. His head drooping,Harry murmured an apology
to me. I was temporarily comforted and relieved but in fact, the pond was still a permanent temptation to
young Harry and me, especially when winter came again.

Dear editor,
Nowadays,a growing number of young people would like to order food on the Internet or call for takeout
for meals rather than cook at home.
It's not surprising for them to do so. For one thing,with the pace of modern life becoming faster and
faster, time is quite precious. In their eyes, it is unnecessary to spend time cooking.For another, home-made
food is less delicious with fewer kinds, especially for those who are particular about food.
In my view, our health is closely related to what we eat. The busier we are, the more attention uc should
pay to food. Therefore, I prefer to cook food at home and go on a balanced diet
Yours,
Li Haa

Many years ago, when the online business first became popular among the public, the nanufacturers
tried to make some slogans so as to catch more customers. Then November 11th was amed the Singles' Day,
and they gave great discount. Today, it has become a shopping day. There s no doubt that e-commerce is the
future. With more young people relying on the Internet, they get ised to purchasing online.
In my opinion, I advise people to make purchases on the Singles' Day, because there is great iscount.
If they miss it, they will be regretful.
Yours,

Besides, people in China also hold a variety of activities to honor him,such as having dragon boat races and
