When writing a review, concentrate on exactly what you liked or didnt like. Give examples of strengths and weaknesses, be descriptive and provide background information on an author, director, actor or musician, if possible. Find professional reviews in magazines or newspapers and see how reviewers deal with their topic, but be sure to express your own voice in your review. Grammar Hint for Reviews: When describing a book, movie, album or anything else, use the present tense.Book Reviews Discuss an authors technique, strengths and weaknesses instead of focusing on the plot. Does the story flow? Is there a strong sense of character and place? Did you stay up until dawn to finish it? Is it good reading for teenagers? What influence did it have on you and why? If youve read other books by the same author, discuss how this book compares.Movie Reviews Think of the major Oscar categories and consider the performances, music, lighting and setting, etc. Do these work together? Did some hold up while others didnt? If the movie is based on a book, discuss whether one is better than the other and why. If the movie is a remake, compare the film to its original.Remember that a well-written movie review should discuss strengths and weaknesses. Some readers may not have seen a movie yet, so dont give away an exciting scene or the ending!College Reviews Begin by providing an overview of the college, including location, size and a description of the campus and/or dorm life. Think about all aspects of your college visit. What academic, athletic and after-class programs are available? What are the students like? What makes the college different from others? Every school has strengths and weaknesses. Be objective. Consider what the school has to offer and who might enjoy or benefit the most from attending there. 21.When writing a review, you _.A. cannot refer to any previous reviewB. must express your own views and opinions C. must provide some information about the authorD. neednt give any examples to support your views22. Which aspects should be included in all three reviews?A. Programs and scenes.B. Plot and character.C. Strengths and weaknesses.D. Location and description.23. Where can you probably find the passage?A. In a personal diary.B. In an official report.C. In a tourist guidebook.D. In a popular magazine.BAn exciting landing process of Change-4 lunar probe (月球探测器 ) was seen through the monitor at Beijing Aerospace Control Center in Beijing, Jan. 3, 2019. It touched down on the far side of the moon at 10:26 a.m. Beijing Time, becoming the first spacecraft soft-landing on the moons unknown side never visible from Earth.Chinas Change-4 probe has started the exploration on the far side of the moon thanks to the relay satellite（中继卫星）that provides a communication link with ground control. The relay satellite, named Queqiao, meaning Magpie Bridge, after a Chinese legend (传说 ) , was launched on May 21, 2018, and became the first communication satellite operating in the halo orbit(晕轮轨道), nearly 500,000 km from the earth. It can also provide communication for probes from other countries. The relay satellite will also be used for scientific and technological experiments. The maximum distance between the satellite and the Change-4 probe on the far side of the moon is 79,000 km. The satellite processes data from the probe and sends it to Earth.The satellite can stay in its orbit for a long time due to its relatively low fuel consumption, as the earths and moons gravity balances its orbital moving. While in orbit, it can see both the earth and the far side of the moon.The concept of using a relay satellite in the halo orbit was first put forward by U.S. space experts in the 1960s, but was realized by Chinese space engineers.Researchers hope to use the cameras on the satellite to record asteroids (小行星 ) hitting the far side of the moon. To control the cost of the Change-4 probe, the relay satellite was designed to be relatively small, weighing about 400 kg.Researchers had just 30 months to develop the satellite, putting them under high pressure. To promote public interest in space exploration, the China National Space Administration invited people to write down their wishes for lunar and space exploration, and the relay satellite carries the names of tens of thousands of participants and their messages.24. What do we learn from the second paragraph?A. The relay satellite was launched on Jan. 3, 2019.B. The relay satellite can handle data from Change-4 probe.C. The relay satellite only explores the far side of the moon.D. Change-4 probe was the first communication satellite.25. Why was the size of the relay satellite relatively small?A. To reduce the cost as much as possible.B. To make it circle Moon for a longer time.C. To avoid being crashed by other satellites.D. To follow American space experts advice.26. What is the main idea of the text?A. China is a new space power after the USA.B. Space exploration is a dangerous challenge.C. Chinese space engineers make much progress.D. Change-4 probe lands on Moons far side.C Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said:“Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today - and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.” A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations. Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students. Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, ”But Im just not creative.” “Do you dream at night when youre asleep?” “Oh, sure.” “So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “Thats pretty creative. Who does that for you?” “Nobody. I do it.” “Really-at night, when youre asleep?” “Sure.” “Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”27. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to _?A.raise the students interest in art B. make the lessons more exciting C. know more about the students D. teach the students about toy design28. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. He liked to help his teacher. B. He preferred to study alone. C. He was active in class. D. He was imaginative.29. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Drawback. B. Mistake. C. Difficulty. D. Burden.30. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?A. To find out about their sleeping habits. B. To help them to see their creativity. C. To help them to improve their memory. D. To find out about their ways of thinking.第二节（共5小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Many people struggle with saying “No”. 31 Remember, just because you can do something does not mean it is required.

It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. If we persist in this practice, gradually well learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English, we certainly run up against many 69 (difficulty). In the first place, 70 often happens that we have trouble 71 (find) appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard for us to put them into English 72 （proper）. As far as I 73 (concern), my suggestion is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. 74 something beats us,we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is 75 great use to keep a diary in English for the development of our writing skills.第4部分 书面表达(满分35分)第一节 应用文写作 （满分15分）假设你是李华，你的英国笔友George给你发来邮件，请你介绍中国家庭聚会(family gatherings)的情况。请你给他回一封邮件，介绍一下相关情况。注意：1.词数80左右；2.列举聚会类型（节日聚会，生日聚会等），饮食和主要活动3.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。Dear George， Yours， Li Hua第二节：读后续写（满分20分）阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 A quite funny thing happened to me last Friday.
