答案；

Ⅰ.【解题导语】本文是记叙文,题材为社会文化类。讲述了在美国生活着一群特立独行的人——阿米什人。他们过去崇尚简单而古老的生活方式。现在的阿米什人又是什么样的呢?1.D主旨大意题。根据文章第一段可知,由于阿米什人的出生率比较高,因此人口增长特别快,故选D项。2.A细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“However,astheirfarmlandisgettinglimited,moreandmoreAmishpeopleareforcedtochangethewaytheyliveandadoptanewlifestyle.”可知,由于耕地不断减少,所以阿米什人不得不改变传统的生活方式。3.A词义猜测题。根据画线短语语境“Theystarttoopenupsmallbusinesses.SomehaveevenstartedInternet-basedshops...”可知,现代阿米什人的生活方式和传统习俗大相径庭,故选A项。4.C推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知,阿米什人工作很努力,所以他们的生意做得好。故C项正确。Ⅱ.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。讲的是如何给别人提供建议。1.C根据上下文可知本句起到承上启下的作用,顺着首句中提到的“help”把话题转到提建议上。2.B由本段的内容可以概括出本段的主旨,即在提建议之前要认真思考。3.F本句从另一个角度来阐明主题句,由空处上下文的“choices”可知,提建议时要提供多种选择,故选F项。4.G由上文提到的使用积极的语言提供建设性的建议及“changeforthebetter”“maketheirlifebetter”可知,G选项中的“you’reencouragingthem”符合语境。5.E由上一句中的“Listentoyourfriends”以及下文中的“Understandtheirsituation”可知E项“在提建议前要从他们那里获取尽可能多的信息”符合语境。Ⅲ.DearPeter,OurtownisgoingtohavetheDragonBoatFestivalthisSaturday.I’mwritingtoinviteyoutobepartofthisevent.TheDragonBoatFestival,inmemoryofQuYuan,isoneoftheimportanttraditionalChinesefestivals.Itfallsonthefifthdayofthefifthlunarmonth.Onthatday,peopleeatzongziandhaveDragonBoatracestocelebrate.This
