The old people at the home were excited by our visit. They were very talkative and they told us their personal stories. During our visit, the home was filled with the sound of laughter. We sang songs and played games with the old people and had tea together. But we realized that life wasn’t always easy. Some of them were in poor health and were very unhappy. They couldn’t go outside and the visits by children brought some sunshine into their lives. Many young people like me do not live with our grandparents and we have very little contact with elderly people. As a result, many young people don’t know what they are like and we have a lot of wrong idea about them. We have little or no idea of the kind of lives they lead in the homes. After this visit, my friends and I decided we should do something to help improve the quality of their lives. Since the creation of our visiting group, over twenty volunteers have joined us. Up to now, we have organized three group evenings and a concert. But it is the individual visits which are the most important. Club members regularly visit old people and everyone finds the experience rich and rewarding. 68. The Community Youth Club ______. A. has arranged a school visit to the local old people’s home B. has made a video about life in an old people’s home C. mainly does social work. D. only organizes leisure activities for young people 69. The most important visits to the old people’s home are ______.

Our reporter Mary Owen met him at his home in south London and he told her all about the trip. Reporter: 71 Chris: Well, it all started two years ago when I was planning a trip to India. I visited a photographic exhibition of elephants and I realized that the only way to travel around India was on an elephant. Reporter: 72 Chris: I flew to New Delhi and started looking for an elephant. I needed an elephant trained to carry people. I didn’t know anything about elephants, so I asked an expert for help. He taught me how to ride an elephant. He also helped me find an elephant. Reporter: How long did it take to find a suitable elephant? Chris: Not too long. I bought a female elephant called Tara for about USD 6,000. Reporter: 73 Chris: Tara and I set off from New Delhi a week later. We were heading to Sonepur in northern India where there is a big elephant market and I could sell Tara easily. And what a ride! Elephants can travel at about 6 miles an hour and Sonepur was more than 1,200 km away. It took us 64 days to complete the journey. Reporter: 74 Chris: Yes, a few. But nothing serious. On the third day, Tara hurt foot. But that got better quickly. Also, there was a lot of heavy rain during the first week and we got very wet! Reporter: 75 Chris: My plan was to sell Tara. But by now I was very fond of her. I couldn’t take her back to Britain and I didn’t want to sell her at the market. By chance, I met some people who wanted an elephant for their national park in southern India. I knew that Tara would be safe with them, so I gave her to them. I was very sad to say goodbye. A. Can you tell me about the journey? B. Why did you fly to New Delhi? C. Did you have any problems on your journey? D. How did you like Tara? E. What gave you the idea to travel around India on an elephant? F. What did you do next? G. What happened when you reached Sonepur? 第四部分：写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分) 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号()，并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除：把多余的词用斜线( \ )划掉。 修改：在错的词下面划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意： 1. 每处错误及修改均限一词; 2. 只允许修改10处，多者(从11处起)不计分。 Dear Wang Dan, We were having a wonderful holiday now.

On Saturday morning, together with my grandparents, I searched the Internet for the train schedule, the weather in Beidaihe, and some hotel information. In the afternoon, I went to the train station and managed to buy two tickets for my grandparents although there was a long queue. After dinner, I packed into the suitcase the things my grandparents need, such as clothes, glasses, an umbrella, and a map. The next morning, I went to the station to see them off. Waving goodbye to them on the platform, I felt happy for them and wished them a safe journey. (98 words) (责任编辑：admin) |
