VII. 写作(Writing)

   A) One possible version:

Dear Kai,

I've got some information about accommodation in England. There are three possibilities.

If we stayed in the Lion Hotel, it would be comfortable and also convenient for visiting the sights and enjoying ourselves. The problem is that it is very expensive and I don't think we could afford it.

Student flats would only cost ￡250 a month, with electricity extra. We would be able to cook our own food, but we'd have to do the cleaning as well!

We could also stay with a family. It's not as cheap as a flat, but the price includes two meals a day and laundry. It would be a good way to get to know people, but if the landlady was strict, we might not be able to enjoy ourselves very much.

What do you think? Let me know soon.

All the best,

Steve

B) One possible version:

Young people have more freedom today than they did one hundred years ago, but how much freedom depends on the family.

Sometimes parents are too busy to make their children tell them where they are going and they allow them to stay out all night. This isn't a good idea because young people can easily get into trouble by drinking too much or mixing with the wrong people. Parents should warn their children not to drink and smoke too much and definitely not to drink and drive. On the other hand, young people must learn how to be adults. If their parents don't encourage them to do anything on their own they will never manage to be independent.

I don't think parents give their children too much freedom in most families, but it is important that parents and children discuss everything, and that there are some rules which the young people agree to keep to.

Part IV. Passages

Passage A

Listen to the following material and choose the best answer to each question. The material will be read twice.

Is everybody here? Good. Now listen carefully. I hope you've all had a good day today. I wish the weather were better here for you. It's very unusual to have so much snow and rain here at this time of year.

Some of you were asking about tomorrow. Well, we're going unless the weather gets much worse during the night. OK? So, provided that it doesn't snow too heavily tonight, I'll see you back here at six o'clock. Set your alarms for 5:30. We'll take our breakfast with us because we won't reach the top of the mountain unless we set out early, before it's light. So be here tomorrow morning with everything you need. You've all got a list—you need a whistle in case you get separated from the rest of the group, warm waterproof clothes and gloves, and a good pair of boots. Don't forget the maps I gave you. I'd rather you didn't bring large cameras and video cameras.

Now, is everyone happy and looking forward to tomorrow?

You all look rather worried. There's really no need. As long as we all stay together and you follow my instructions, we'll have a great time. I've never lost anyone up there yet! I wish you'd come a few weeks ago when the weather was better because we could have done so many more walks then. Never mind, there's always next year. It's  time we had dinner now, so if anyone has any questions,  you can ask me on the way to the dining hall. Let's go in.

Passage B

Listen to the following material and fill in the missing information in the numbered spaces. The material will be read twice.

Welcome, everybody, to Claremont Castle. I'm Jasper Claremont and this has been my family's home, where we've lived for over four hundred years, since the time of Edmund Claremont, who first lived here in 1600. This room is the great hall and the paintings you can see here are our oldest portraits. The painting we're looking at now shows Edmund himself. Do you see the ship in the background? It's the one which he was captain of during a famous naval victory. This victory was the reason why he became a national hero. He was given the piece of land where Claremont Castle now stands as a reward. The next painting shows Edmund's wife Margaret, whom he married in 1605. She's wearing all the family jewels. Now let's move on to the picture of Henry and William, their two sons.

It's the picture that hangs next to Margaret's portrait, and it's the one I like best. The one who's sitting on the horse is Henry, and William's the one who's holding the book. William, who was his mother's favourite, became a poet, while Henry, whom his father preferred, was more of a man of action. He fought in the Civil War, which broke out in 1642. Unfortunately, he supported the side which lost. We don't know much about the woman he married, and he had no children; but William, whose wife Jane was a famous beauty, had nine children, all of whom survived. Here they are in this picture from the year when their youngest son was born. Now, if I can lead you into the dining-room, where we'll see some more recent pictures...
