Dear Zhang Hua,
Have you ever been to Thailand? It is a country in Southeast Asia. I’ve been in Thailand
for a few days with my parents. We are here for a holiday.
Now we are staying in Bangkok（曼谷）. It is the capital of Thailand and it is a very
interesting place to visit. Yesterday we visited some places of interest in the city. They are
great! This morning we went shopping. Bangkok is a wonderful place to shop for jewelry（珠
宝）and clothes. My mother bought a nice necklace; my father and I bought some fashionable
T-shirts.
Thailand is called “Land of Smiles” because people here are very friendly. And it’s true!
When we eat in the restaurants in Bangkok, the waiters are really nice and they are always
smiling. Thai food is delicious, but it is sometimes a little spicy（辛辣的）for me. You can
also get Chinese food here because a lot of Chinese people came to live in Bangkok many
years ago. Chinese food is very good, and it isn’t as spicy as Thai food. Our American food
can also be found in Bangkok. However, I don’t eat it. You know, I’d like to try new things
when I travel.
The weather has been very hot. Yesterday it rained and got a little cooler. But today it’s
hot again.
Yours,
Mary

It’s been more than 8 years since I moved from the US to Beijing. At that time, my
parents have grown older, just as I have. When I went off to college, we lived in different
cities, but we still stayed in touch by phone and email. 51 But living in Beijing has
made it a bit more difficult. You see, we’re separated(分开) not only by distance, but also by
time. My hometown is on the opposite side of the planet from Beijing—it’s a 12-hour time
difference. 52 This can make it difficult to find a suitable time to contact my family.
53 We just try to choose times that are convenient(便利的) for both of us. This
means I usually call my mom late in the evening, when she’s taking her lunch break. We talk
about our work, the weather, and whatever else is happening in our lives. It’s nice to check in
with her and see how she’s doing.
54 About once every other year, I’ll fly back to the US to see my parents and
sisters for the holidays. It’s rare(珍贵的) for us to get the whole family together—but when
we do, we have a lot of fun.
55 We try to stay in touch as best as we can.

You must have been to many places of interest and enjoyed all kinds of beautiful
mountains and rivers. I am also sure that you have visited many old buildings covered with
colorful pictures on the walls. Now imagine that a building with an exterior（外观）madecompletely out of corn and other grain! The building really exists—it is the Corn Palace.
The Corn Palace was built in 1892 in Mitchell, South Dakota. It was created to display
the products of the harvest of South Dakota’s farmers, in murals（壁画）inside the building
and on the outside walls of the building. The murals are made from lots of corn and other
grain and grasses such as wild oats, rye, straw, and wheat. Each year these corn decorations
are completely stripped down（剥下）and entirely new murals are created. The Corn Palace
is a great tourist attraction and a meeting place for the community. Many events are held here
and the most popular is the Corn Palace Stampede Rodeo. But the horses must be watched
carefully so that they don’t eat the building!

Taiwan has been a part of China since ancient times. Most people on the island come
from Fujian and Guangdong. Now, many Taiwan people come to the mainland to build
factories and do business. The people on both sides of the straits(海峡) have a strong wish to
unite the motherland.

Dear Wang,
Great to hear you are coming to the USA! I do hope you can stop by and visit us in the
Big Apple — a popular name for New York City. There are so many things to see and do here.
It would take a lifetime to list them all: Chinatown, Wall Street, Central Park, to name only a
few. But knowing you as I do, I’d suggest walking through Midtown Manhattan. It is very
popular in the USA and just can’t be missed!
People often say that no visit to New York City is complete without a trip to Broadway!
Broadway with its cafés, street performers（表演者）and colorful signs really represents
New York’s loud spirit! As Broadway is the heart of the American theater industry, it’s at night
when it truly comes alive. Broadway is well-known for its big theaters. They show
Shakespeare, modern plays, dance shows or musicals — take your pick! With your love of
singing and interest in drama（戏剧）, I’d recommend（推荐）a musical. It’s a great and
moving experience that I’m sure you would love — a bit like Peking opera! Many musicals
are based on classic stories like Les Miserables or Peter Pan, and they might even inspire
（激发）you to read the books, too!
My big news is that I am going to China on vacation this winter. I am looking for places
of interest in China. Can you recommend some to me?
See you soon!
Leslie

And bikes themselves are not new, but now they are very popular. 73 a fan of
bicycles, Tom expressed his love for China’s shared bicycles, and said, “Now shared bikes

Nowadays, it is clear that China is no longer copying western ideas. China is leading in
many ways such as the 75 messaging app WeChat. Besides, China has the 76
mobile users in the world.
Charlie Dai, a principal from America, said the new four great inventions are good for the

Venice is considered to be one of the most 91 (beauty) cities in the world. It
has been known as the “City of Canals (运河)” “City of Bridges” and “City of Water”. The
city is made up of about 100 92 (island), 150 canals, and 400 bridges. There 93
(be) no roads in the city, so there are no cars. The only forms of transportation (交通) are on
water and 94 foot. There are roads, a train station, 95 an airport at the
edge (边缘) of the city. One of the famous symbols of Venice is a “gondola (平底船)”.
Gondolas are still used today, though 96 (main) by tourists. All Venetian gondolas
are painted black—it was a law that was passed in the 97 (sixteen) century. Most
Venetians travel by water buses called “Vaporetti”. Venice has one of the world’s most famous
bridges 98 (call) the Rialto Bridge, built in 1591.
Venezuela, a country in South 99 (American), means “little Venice”. This is
because the early European visitors to Venezuela first met the local people who lived in homes
built over the water, reminding 100 (they) of Venice.参考答案：
