投诉信（餐厅就餐投诉）

Dear Sir,

Last Friday, I booked a table near the window for dinner in your hotel as I was going to t reat my two American friends to a typical Chinese meal. But I’m quite disappointed with your service. We went there at the time as arranged, but the waiter told us there were no seats available. After about one and a half hours, we were asked to share a table with an old couple. The food was not delicious and some dishes were too salty. I’ll appreciate it if you can look into this case.

Yours,

Li lin

In the picture, we can see a boy in worn clothes, sitting at a shabby wooden table with a pile of books on it. A weak ray of light came in through a small hole in the wall and he was absorbed in his reading.

This is a well-known story from ancient Chinese idiom. The boy, being poor, couldn’t afford even a candle, so he bored a hole in the wall to “steal” light from his neighbour‘s house to read at night. The moral of the story is to spare no effort to acquire knowledge and never get discouraged easily no matter how difficult the situation may be.

Of course, things are totally different today. It is not the story itself but what is reflected in the story that counts. Hard work pays off. We should take pains to improve ourselves through learning and get prepared for the future.

你是新华中学高三年级的一名学生，今年即将高中毕业。请你根据下面所给的要点提示，就关于“高考志愿选择”用英语写一篇短文，描述学生中存在的两种想法。

[要求]

请用状语从句、名词性从句、被动语态、不定式、部分倒装、虚拟语气完成作文。

参考范文：

A good major or a good university

Every student will be faced with the choice when he passes the College Entrance Examination. Should he choose a good major or a good university first? Different students will offer different answers.

Some students think the choice should be based on their own interests. Because only in this way can they take their favorite jobs in the future. Or they should select major according to the need of society. Other students believe that a good university provides a wide range of courses which may be of great importance to their development and that if they were not graduating from leading universities, they wouldn’t be likely to find a good job.

Personally, the best choice is a good major at a good university. If we can’t 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.

Kung Fu Panda

Kung Fu Panda tells a story concerned with a big, fat panda that can perform martial arts. The film is set in China’s Valley of Peace，where there are no humans, only talking animals. At first, the panda worked for his father in a noodle shop. At that time, he was only a common panda. By accident, he is chosen to be the Dragon Warrior. In the end, he realizes the truth to be a master of kung fu is that you will succeed if you believe in yourself.

Kung Fu Panda is a great animated film. It is elegantly drawn and the action sequences are packed with energy. We teenagers, even adults, like watching it.

B 今年冬天，寒冷的东北部实在是不适合过冬，所以当这个周末恰好有机会去佛罗里达的萨拉索塔时，天还没亮，我就迫不及待的收拾好行囊出发了。萨拉索塔是个温暖的地方，十分养人，一路上我都在想象着那里的沙滩和橙子树。当我们到达目的地，看到蔚蓝的天空，感受到温暖的空气时，我心中油然而生一种感激之情。整个周末我们都在游泳，品美酒，观日落（日落时间是在傍晚时分，不是下午四点），但是最和我口味的就是每天早晨7点的蔬菜大抢购，现在我们每天7点起床去萨拉索塔的农贸市场抢购蔬菜，为了这些蔬菜，起得再早也值得。 该农贸市场始建于1979年，每周六从早上七点开放至下午一点，沿着北柠檬街和洲街搭起帐篷，无论严寒酷暑，风雨无阻。市场种蔬菜水果品种繁多，有成筐的水灵灵的红草莓，有Java Dawg的咖啡卡车，车的两侧都刷着红漆，最吸人眼球的就是西红柿，又大又软，圆润红透。 我曾有过很多次买到（卖家）保证是自然成熟的西红柿，但实际却并非如此，失望之极，我已经很多年不在冬天买西红柿了。无论它们在商店里看上去多么诱人，只要一拿回家就会变干变硬，食之无味。但是在Brown’s Grove农场一个特殊的摊位上，全都是新鲜柔软的西红柿，犹如拳头大小，由于过后我还是买了一些。这笔交易还真不赖。在那一刻，我意识到冬天在萨拉索塔最好的经历就是，可以吃到一些回到纽约之后几个月都吃不到的食物。 看着眼前的西红柿，我很高兴，尤其是当我发现Brown’s Grove农场是Jack Dusty 的供应商之一时我更加开心了。Jack Dusty是在萨拉索塔丽嘉登酒店新开的一家餐厅。我也真是幸运，本来那晚我就打算去那里吃饭的。到了那儿我甚至可以不看菜单，就知道直接点和西红柿有关的菜就可以了。 C

高考英语 全国卷I阅读真题

2011年全国卷I 阅读 A Pet owners are being encouraged to take their animals to work, a move scientists say can be good for productivity, workplace morale (士气), and the well-being of animals. A study found that 25% of Australian women would like to keep an office pet. Sue Chaseling of Petcare Information Service said the practice of keeping office pets was good both for the people and the pets. “On the pets’ side, they are not left on their own and won’t feel lonely and unhappy,” she said. A study of major US companies showed that 73% found office pets beneficial, while 27% experienced a drop in absenteeism (缺勤). Xarni Riggs has two cats walking around her Global Hair Salon in Paddington. “My customers love them. T hey are their favorites,” she said. “They are not troublesome. They know when to go and have a sleep in the sun.” Little black BJ has spent nearly a ll his two years “working” at Punch Gallery in Balmain. Owner Iain Powell said he had had cats at the gallery for 15 years. “BJ often lies in the shop window and people walking past tap on the glas s,” he said. Ms Chaseling said cats were popular in service industries because they enabled a point of conversation. But she said owners had to make sure both their co-workers and the cats were comfortable. 56. The percentage of American companies that are in favor of keeping office pets is ______. A. 73% B. 27% C. 25% D. 15% 57. We know from the text that “BJ” ______. A. works in the Global Hair Salon B. often greets the passers-by C. likes to sleep in the sun D. is a two-year-old cat 58. The best title for this text would be ______. A. Pets Help Attract Customers B. Your Favorite Office Pets C. Pets Join the Workforce D. Busy Life for Pets B MONTREAL (Reuters) --- Crossing the US-Canada border to go to church on a Sunday cost a US citizen ＄10,000 for breaking Washington’s strict new security rules. The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the Canadian border. Like the other half-dozen people of Township 15, crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert. The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church. There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5, 530-mile border between Canada and the US- which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings. As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Canada, as usual. The US customs station in this area is closed on Sundays, so he just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May, following a tightening of border security. Two days later, Albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally. Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces the people to a 200-mile detour along hill roads to get home country through another border checkpoint. Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a Sunday church since. “I feel like I’m living in a prison,” he said. 59. We learn from the text that Richard Albert is ______. A. an American living in Township 15 B. a Canadian living in a Quebec village

历年高考英语作文范文30篇

历年高考英语作文范文30篇 A．写人： 1．Our English Teacher Our English teacher, Ms Huang, came to our school in 1970. She has been an English teacher f or more than 30 years. She works hard and has been a model teacher for many years. She is k ind and friendly to us after class, but She is rather strict with us in class. She always encourages us to speak and read more English. She often says, "Practice makes perfect." She is good at teaching and tries her best to make every lesson lively and interesting. She often gives us slide shows, teaches us English songs and helps us to put on short English plays. She is not only our teacher but also our friend. We all respect and love her. Tomorrow she is going to attend an important meeting, at which she will be given a medal for h er advanced deeds. 2．My English Teacher Our English teacher, Mr. Wang, is a strongly built thirty-year-old man, who is often simply dres sed. He has been teaching us English ever since he graduated from the English Department, Beijin g Normal University in 1993. He devotes all his time and energy to teaching, often working late in to the night preparing his lessons. He is capable of making his lessons lively and interesting, and a ll of us like his lessons. He is very strict with us but he shows us great concern. He offers us help whenever we need it. We all consider him not only as our good teacher but also as our close friend . We all respect and love him. B．写物： 3． Our school Our school is located at the centre of Beijing, It is one of the largest schools in the city with over 2 ,000 students and about 200 teachers. Our school subjects include politics, Chinese, English, ma ths, history, geography, physics, chemistry and biology and so on. Most of us pay great attention to the study of English, Chinese and maths because they are very important subjects in the university entrance exam. We take special interest in English. We have sp ent much time on it, but we still find it difficult to learn the language well. In the afternoon when c lass is over, we enjoy staying at school for about one hour for some physical exercises before l eaving for home. 4． My Home Village My home village is a small one. It's in Yuxian county of Shanxi Province. Small as it is, it's ver y beautiful. There are many hills around my home village and they are more beautiful than some big mount ains. In spring, we can fly kites which are made by ourselves on the top of the hills. The kites fly very high. In summer, the trees are green and the grass is green, too. It is green everywhere on the hills. There are so many wild apple trees on the hills. The wild apples are nice to eat. In autumn, the corns under and around the hills are ripe.
