　　The bus journey from Dali to Lijiang was very unpleasant and I was feeling really unwell and was sick by the side of the road. It is a pity that I did not feel so good as the scenery and housing along. The bus journey was truly beautiful but it is not humanly possible to enjoy such things when all you can think of is this Chinese bus going to get some of my carrots on its floors and seats?

　　I was very relieved to arrive in Lijiang—the place seemed bigger than Dali and initially more pretty as a picture. However, after walking for a bit around the place, I got the feeling that the place seemed overly touristy. This traditional and old-looking town had a very new feeling to it as most of the old style buildings looked very new. This was hardly surprising as the town suffered a major earthquake in 1996, but all over the place even now, they were still building “old” style housing.

　　Feeling rather let down by the place, Peter, Rashad and I headed out for a meal. There were lots of barbecue (烤肉) type places where you selected your food to eat. Peter spoke to the restaurant people who told him that the place was cheap. We then made the big mistake of staying in the place without seeing the menu. Amongst other things, such as meat, we had also some tree and normal looking mushrooms cooked. When the bill arrived, it felt like we were having our pants pulled down.

　　We did not think that Lijiang could get any worse until we saw the nightlife. The music was loud in the clubs or bars along the streets. “Cool, this might be some sort of Chinese dance off.” I was thinking. Given my previous bad experiences of Lijiang, I should really have known better. However, the good things about the place are numberless, such as the attractive natural scenery, the ancient architecture, the century-old practices, and the hospitable locals.

　　1. From the first paragraph we can learn that　.

　　A. the bus journey was boring and uncomfortable

　　B. the sides of the road were polluted seriously

　　C. the scenery isn’t beautiful as expected

　　D. the bus jogged along on the rough road

　　2. The underlined word “initially” means　.

　　A. indeedB. at firstC. in the endD. really

　　3. The author had a very new feeling because　.

　　A. it was the first time that he had visited Lijiang

　　B. many tall buildings had sprung up

　　C. the ancient town took a new look

　　D. the ancient town was man-made in a way

　　4. How did they feel while they were in the restaurant?

　　A. They thought they had appreciated good food.

　　B. They believed the bill was wrongly calculated.

　　C. They regretted having ordered mushrooms.

　　D. They had a more expensive meal than expected.

　　5. Which of the following is TRUE according to the last paragraph?

　　A. The author had a good impression of the music in the clubs.

　　B. The author once visited the town and loved Chinese dance.

　　C. Most of the people in Lijiang are warm-hearted.

　　D. The natural scenery has been damaged by noises.

　　書面表達命題形式分類

　　1. 提綱式

　　提綱作文通常會羅列出一系列要點，要求考生根據所列要點來組織語言，按照一定的邏輯順序正確地表達信息。

　　技巧：考生應按照所提供的提綱思路進行構思，并在提示上標出要點。要分析各點之間的邏輯關系，確定連接詞、過渡句。要注意發揮自己的想象力，采用不同的表達方式，將要點完整地表達出來。

　　2. 圖畫式

　　這種命題方式一般提供一副或多幅圖畫。這些圖畫通常寓意深刻，或批判某種現象，或褒揚好人好事，或提倡某種活動，或闡述某個事件。圖畫作文首先考查的是考生的理解能力，它要求考生盡快獲得圖畫所傳遞的信息，從而根據所掌握的信息進行發揮創作。

　　技巧：考生應注意讀懂圖畫及寫作要求，分析寫作的主題，并確定好文章的體裁及段落發展方式。如果畫面內容是以描述為主，則按空間方式或時間先后順序排列。如果圖畫內容是以解釋說明為主，則不需要考生再將圖中所看到的人或事本身進行詳細描寫，而是直接寫出圖畫的意義。

　　讀寫任務解題指導

　　Big or small, rejection affects us all. Harry Potter was rejected. So was The Twilight Saga. If authors J. K. Rowling and Stephenie Meyer hadn’t kept trying with publisher after publisher, we’d all have missed out on some great adventures.

　　Rejection doesn’t have to be about the big thing like not getting into your top college, not making the team, or not getting asked to the prom (舞會). Everyday situations can lead to the feeling of rejection, too, like if your joke doesn’t get a laugh, if no one remembers to save you a seat at the lunch table, or if the person you really like talks to everyone but you.

　　Feeling rejected is the opposite of feeling accepted. But being rejected (and we will all be at times) doesn’t mean someone isn’t liked, valued, or important. It just means that one time, in one situation, with one person, things didn’t work out.

　　Rejection hurts. But it’s impossible to avoid it altogether. In fact, you don’t want to— people who become too afraid of rejection might hold back from going after something they want. Sure, they avoid rejection, but they’re also 100% guaranteed to miss out on what they want but won’t try for.

　　【寫作內容】

　　1. 以約30個詞概括上文的主要內容。

　　2. 以約120個詞就“How to deal with rejection”這一話題發表你的看法，內容包括：

　　(1) 講述一次你被拒絕的經歷；

　　(2) 你當時的感受；

　　(3) 你認為應該如何正確面對拒絕。

　　【寫作要求】

　　作文中可以使用親身經歷或虛構的故事，也可以參照閱讀材料的內容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子。

　　【評分標準】

　　概括準確，語言規范，內容合適，語篇連貫。

　　One possible version

　　Everyone has experiences of being rejected. Although rejection makes us feel hurt, we can never avoid it, or we’ll certainly miss out on things we want.

　　Three years ago, I competed with my classmates for an important role in an English show to be held in my school. I was so eager to participate in it that I practiced hard in my spare time. However, I was turned down in the last round. I felt really disappointed and deeply hurt because my friends made it but I failed.

　　As far as I’m concerned, if we can deal with rejection well, it will have a minimal effect on us. First, we should have a positive attitude toward rejection; that is to say, we ought to acknowledge it and keep reminding ourselves that rejection is always a possibility. Second, we can tell our family or friends what happened and how we feel about it or even cry if we want to — it’s a natural way to release our emotions. Last but not least, we should consider rejection as an opportunity for self-improvement and try our best to get accepted next time.
