第四部分写作(共两节,满分40 分)
第一节(满分15 分)
Dear Amanda ,
Learning that you are returning to the UK, I’ve bought a Chinese writing brush as a souvenir
for you.
The Chinese writing brush, dating back to 2,000 years ago, is ranked as one of Four
Treasures of the Chinese Study. Actually, in ancient China , calligraphy and paintings were mostly
created with it. Considering you are a fan of Chinese culture, I think the
writing brush with
Chinese characteristics is a perfect gift for you.
I bet you will fall in love with it. Wish you a safe journey.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节(满分25 分)
One possible version:
I found myself standing on a stage in a packed hall where my family and Pat were. At the
beginning, I felt a little nervous because the competition was a real challenge. Those eight words
flashed through my mind again. So, I started acting intensively, and in the end, I succeeded.When
I heard the news of my win, I cried with joy, watching my family and Pat in the dark as if all the
painful days spent recovering and exercising had paid off.
Before we left to celebrate at a nearby restaurant, my dad came over. He looked me right in
the eyes and said “I knew that! I knew you won’t let me down!” I held my dad close then and I
saw Tracy was smiling at me. I had thought that I had to work hard in the building business to
support my family, who couldn’t live without me, but I was wrong. Without their support, I would
not have recovered from my illness and I would not have performed successfully.

M:Susan, did you go to the Vancouver Maritime Museum yesterday?
W: No. I went to the city library. Look at the books I borrowed.
M: Wow, I’m sure you’ll spend a lot of time indoors in the following weeks.
Text 2
W:Where is my phone? I want to make a phone call.
M: In the bedroom. Who do you want to call?
W:I want to call Canada Travels to talk to one of their travel experts about a top Caribbean
destination. We need to plan for our family vacation now.
Text 3
M: I heard you’re going to Vancouver Aquarium this Saturday. How much does a ticket cost?
W:20 dollars per adult. I’m going with my husband and our three-year-old son. Kids three and
under can enter it for free.
Text 4
M: Mary, can you believe that in the 18th century, pigeon poop(粪便)was used to make
gunpowder, so King George I confirmed the droppings to be property of the crown?
W:Is that really true? I just couldn’t believe my ears.
M: Believe it or not, it’s true.
Text 5
W:I heard great damages have been caused by Hurricane Dorian on the Bahamas Islands.
M: Yes. Many people have lost their homes because of it. Now the main hospital in Marsh Harbor
is sheltering 400 people but in need of food, water, medicine and supplies.
Text 6
M: Karen, I heard you took a trip to England last week. Did you find anything interesting there?
W: Yes. I found people there really liked getting in line. There were queues wherever I went. And
I often had to wait in lines, too.
M: Did you try to cut in line?
W: I wanted to, but I didn’t. Seeing everyone else waiting in line patiently, I chose to wait
patiently, too. But I did find that the English have a good sense of humor. When they were waiting
in line, they waited with good humor.
M: I guess it’s their culture. So when did you get back to the US? Last weekend?
W: No. My plane took off last Sunday night.
Text 7
W: Mike, I heard you’re going to pay a visit to Cuba. Are you going to visit friends there?
M: No. I don’t have any friends or relatives there. My friends Mark and Henry suggested we visit
Playa Jibacoa there. I’m a great beach lover, so I agreed to go there with them.
W: Is it a popular beach in Cuba?
M: I don’t think so. Actually not many tourists know about Playa Jibacoa yet. And that’s why we
decided to go to it. We don’t want to visit a crowded beach.
W: So how can you get to the beach?
M: There are no public buses or trains that go there. So after getting to Havana, we’ll drive there.
W: So how many days will you spend there?
M:We’ll get there on the morning of April 9 and leave on the afternoon of April 14.

M: Jennifer, had you studied writing before you became a writer?
W: Yes. I did a unit called “The Art of Writing” as part of my undergraduate degree at Moi
University. But it was not really enough to prepare one to be a writer.
M: So what else helped you become a writer?
W:I think studying literature in university was helpful. As a student of literature, one learns about
writing by experiencing writing first hand. Also, reading helped too. After getting my PhD, I
became a university lecturer. I read widely about creative writing.
M: Did you read in order to become a writer?
W: Not really. I just wanted to become a better teacher of literature. Later I ended up teaching a
course on creative writing at Daystar University. All of these experiences helped me become a
creative writer.
M: So do you have a lot of time to write now?
W: Not really. Now I’ve a family to take care of. But Henry is very supportive. He sometimes
takes our kids out so that I can write.
Text 9
W: Do you know about the history of the Egyptian coastal city of Alexandria?
M: Yes. I know something about it. Alexander the Great established the city more than 2, 000
years ago.
W: It’s a really old city.
M: You can say so. It has survived invasions, fires and earthquakes in the past 2, 000 years. But
now Alexandria faces severe flooding from rising waters blamed on climate change.
W: That’s really bad. It’s such an important city.
M: Yes. It is Egypt’s second largest city, with more than 5 million people. It is also an important
port and home to about 40 percent of Egypt’s industrial activity. But the city is surrounded on
three sides by the Mediterranean Sea and sits next to a lake. With climate change, it now is often
stricken by floods.
W: I heard it experienced a natural disaster in 2015.
M: That’s true. Large parts of the city were flooded. At least six people were killed in the flooding,
which also destroyed many homes.
W: I’m afraid many coastal cities will disappear in the future.
M: I agree. But it’s not too late yet.
W: What do you mean?
M: I mean humans can still save the cities by preventing climate change. Now I often encourage
my students to help protect Earth in class.

W: Buy a Seacrest Home, and you’ll be living in comfort! You’ll have the convenience and
security of a high-end(高档的)apartment complex in the city. At the same time, the large space
will make it feel like a house in the country. We have a full range of services to offer you — from
a 24-hour front desk attendant to a professional gym. We have excellent drivers available for hire,
which people with busy work schedules especially use and appreciate. And just like our name
indicates, our buildings are built on an area close to the sea. Now, our apartments are mainly
designed for the new rich class. They are filled with comforts and devices that appeal to a younger
generation. They also come with a significant price mark. You can find out about prices and tour a
sample home next month at our first open house(售房参观日)of the season. It will be held on
the weekend of April 2nd to 3rd. We will also be showing individual apartments every other
weekend through the end of May. A small dish of food and drinks will be served during each open
4

house event, and plenty of our staff will be there to answer questions. Our homes tend to sell
quickly, so be prepared to pay a deposit if you want to buy. We accept personal checks, as well as
Alipay.
