            • 1.

              During the last winter holiday, I went to China with my parents. The five-day trip left me with a deep impression.

              As the capital of China, Beijing is a very beautiful city with fresh air and clean streets which make the travelers feel very pleased. To my surprise, many people there were learning English. Later I was told that they did so because Beijing would hold the 29th Olympic Games and they wanted most foreigners to understand them. They strictly kept the traffic rules. When there was a red light, no one was seen crossing the street.

              Of all the places I visited, I liked the Summer Palace best. To our surprise, although it was winter when we were there, we still saw green trees and many fresh flowers. The whole park was very beautiful.We visited a very modern football field. We were told the buildings where the Olympic Games would be held were even better than that. I also enjoyed skiing in Xiangshan. Skiing is an interesting and exciting sport liked by many people.

              In my eyes, China is a nice place and Chinese people are very kind. In Beijing Station, there were so many people, and most of them were going home to spend the Spring Festival—the most important Chinese festival, with their families. Passengers helped each other carry luggage(行李), and they were very kind to foreigners. We were given a card by the hotel we stayed at, on which was the address of the hotel. With the card we never got lost in the city.

              The five days passed quickly, but the trip left me a lot of sweet memories.

            • 2. Besides the spelling of the word,there are,clearly,many differences between American and British humor.
              There is a common belief in the U.K.that Americans don't understand irony (讽刺).This is of course not true.But what is true is that Americans don't use it all the time.Irony may show up in American comedies(喜剧),but people there don't use it as much as the British do in daily life.
              However,irony is common in British culture.It actually runs in the blood of the British people.They use it as much as prepositions(介词.in everyday conversations,as a way of playing with their friends and laughing at their enemies,as well as themselves.This may sometimes make people unhappy if the listeners are not used to it.
              Things are quite different in America.After Americans use irony,they will clearly say that they are"only kidding".They feel the need to make a joke clearer so that it will not make other people uncomfortable.
              Humor is tied so much to culture.American jokes are more clear and forward,a bit like Americans themselves.British jokes,on the other hand,are more subtle and usually with a hidden meaning.This may result from the fact that British culture is more reserved(矜持的.than  American culture.
              However,we still find that certain American comedies have made huge success in Britain and vice versa(反之亦然).Therefore,although there are differences between both comic styles,there is still an appreciation(欣赏.and understanding of the other's sense of humor.

              B.fight with their enemies
              C.laugh at themselves

            • 3. Fraser Island is in Queensland,Australia,about 200 kilometers north of Brisbane.It is about 120kilometers long and 240 kilometers wide.It is a very important island because it is completely made of sand.In fact,it is the largest sand island inthe world.There is no airport on the island,but there is a longbeach along the east coast.Planes arrive and leave from here.
                  The sand makes unusual shapes.There are hills made of sand called sandblows.Nothing grows on them.They    move one or two meters a year from the northwest towards the southeast of the island,getting bigger and bigger.At other places on the island,such as Rainbow Gorge,The Cathedrals and Red Canyon,the sandy rocks have different colors.Sometimes the rocks areso brown that they turn the sea brown,like coffee.
                  Surprisingly,the sandy island has a lot of different plants and animals.There are dark  forests-eucalyptus woods,beautiful flowers and over a hundred lakes.There are many kinds of birds,like owls and curlews.There are many animals there,too,such as crocodiles,flying foxes and wild dogs called dingoes.
                  About 500,000 people visit the island every year to see the island's beauty and nature.People enjoy camping and hiking(徒步)there.Unluckily,the visitors create problems.They damage plants and frighten animals.Their sun cream(防晒霜)makes the water dirty.So it isnecessary to manage the visitors.For example,people may not use motor boats or go fishing inthe lakes,and they need official papers to drive there.

            • 4. It may be hard to believe,but the American Revolution(革命)-the war that freed the American states from British control-began over a cup of tea.Tea was not the only thing that caused the war,of course,but it played a very big part.
              The British people's love of tea is well-known.When the British won control over mush of North America in the early 1700s,they brought their tea-drinking habits with them.Tea quickly became the continents most popular drink.As tea could not be grown locally,just as in Britain,it was shipped into the country-mostly from India.
              In the early 1700s,the Britain government made a special deal with the East India Company,as an English trading company.They agreed that no other company was allowed to bring tea to Britain or any country controlled by Britain,including America.It was a great deal for the East India Company,since it meant that the company could decide whatever price it wanted for its products.And it always decided on a high price!
              In North America,the local people did not like having to pay such high prices.Instead of overpaying for tea from the British,they turned to Dutch traders,who secretly brought tea to the country that was just as good-and much less expensive.Although this broke the law,the American people didn't care.They got the same cup of tea at a much lower price.
              The East India Company,however,didn't like this at all.By the 1760s,they were losing millions of pounds each year to Dutch traders-a huge amount of money in a time when£60a year was considered a good income.Instead of reducing their prices to compete with the Dutch,the company asked the British government for help and the government agreed.
              In 1767,the British introduced new law that increased the prices of all goods which were brought into America.These laws helped make the East India Company even richer and forced local people to pay much more for everything.The American leaders asked the British government not to do so,but the British refused to listen.These unfair laws increased Americans'anger about British rule and the rest,as they say,is history.

              31.In the early 1700s where did most tea drunk in America come from?    
              A.China

The sea is very important in Britain.There are many towns and ports(港口) on the coast(海岸).Sometimes the tides are very high and this can be a big problem for towns near the coast.These towns have very high walls to stop the sea.London has a special mechanical"wall"to stop the tide coming into the city.
