Dear Sirs,
As a concerned parent, I am writing to protest your recent advertisement for Electro-Robo seen in local media in California. Specifically, I am referring to newspaper and magazine ads (attached to this letter) published the week of November 15.
Children respond to your type of advertising in an immature way; that is, they are unable to understand how expensive some toys are for middle class parents. Further, your product is violent in nature. Your advertisement gives children the impression that it’s fine to have “two guns and laser eyes.” You also suggest that children need your toy to protect them “when you go outside.” This is not a healthy attitude for children to have.
I hope you will stop advertising your product in such a way that may harm our children.
Sincerely yours,
(Mrs.) Alma Hernandez
President, Parents for Non violent Toys
Enclosed Advertisement:
It’s Here! Ready for You, Now!  It’s Electro Robo!
Every boy dreams of being in control of a robot, and AmToy can make your dream come true! Electro-Robo is the world’s first fully automatic robot with radio control. Standing 80 centimeters tall, Electro-Robo is like a friend at home. He can walk, talk, and even shake your hand! He has two guns and laser eyes to help you defend yourself when you go outside with him. Every boy needs Electro-Robo!
Ask your Mom and Dad to buy Electro-Robo for your birthday or for Christmas, which is coming up soon. Imagine that you are in control of your friend for life, Electro- Robo!
Available at all toy stores and department stores NOW!
小題1: What is the purpose of the letter?
A．To complain about a broken toy.B．To order a gift for Christmas.
C．To oppose the advertising.D．To apply for a job in a toy company.
小題2:Why does the writer of the letter feel that Electro-Robo is violent?
A．It bears arms.B．It is expensive to buy.
C．It is 80 centimeters tall.D．It is controlled by radio waves.
小題3: Electro-Robo can do all the following EXCEPT________.
A．shaking handsB．sitting downC．talkingD．walking

小題1:C
小題2:A
小題3:B
小題1:C 從文章“As a concerned parent, I am writing to protest your recent advertisement for Electro-Robo seen in local media in California. ”可看出是抗議最近的關(guān)于。。。的廣告。 所以選C“反對這則廣告”
小題2:A 從文章“He has two guns and laser eyes to help you defend yourself when you go outside with him.”可看出Electro-Robo is violent
小題3:B 從文章“He can walk, talk, and even shake your hand!”可看出答案

Bali Beach Resort has plenty of attractions. It is a holiday paradise（樂園）. The self-styled ‘Ultimate Island’ certainly has plenty for everyone.
Where in the world ?
Bali is located just off the eastern edge of the main Indonesian island of Java. To the east is the neighboring island of Lombok. To the south of Bali lies the expanse of the Indian Ocean, while to the north is the Bali Sea. The most popular resort with holidaymakers is Ubud north of Sanur.
When to go?
Bali has a tropical climate year round with an average daily temperature of 31℃(87℃F). The wet season is between October and April. The dry season is between May and September, and is the busiest time to visit the island as travelers take advantage of the long hot days and little rain.
Beach
Bali has a string of beaches, mainly in the south of the island. Head away from Bali’s beaches and a totally different world awaits you. Ubud is an easily accessible （接近的）jungle resort town with a good range of hotels, shops and restaurants. The active volcano of Mount Batur is a highlight and so are the mountain lakes.
Family fun
All of the resorts have plenty of facilities （設(shè)施）for families. In Ubud there is a monkey park, where young ones can see monkeys that are not kept in tiny cages and an elephant park where holidaymakers can ride an elephant.
Eating out
All of Bali’s holiday resorts offer international cooking to suit every tourist’s taste, with most of the better hotels having excellent restaurants. Indonesian Bintang beer is very popular.
Getting around
There are a limited number of local buses. The other public transport is to take the local “bemo” minibuses. These colourful little minibuses speed around the winding roads with fares negotiated （商議）on board, so it helps to speak a little of the local language. There are also taxis and both electric bikes and cars can be hired.
小題1:From the passage we learn that Bali is __________.
A．on the east of the Lombok Island
B．to the west of the Lombok Island
C．off the north of Bali Sea
D．surrounded by the Indian Ocean
小題2:The least busy time to visit Bali is probably in _________.
A．January and FebruaryB．April and May
C．June and JulyD．September and October
小題3:_________ to get around Bali Beach Resort.
A．It is very convenient for visitors to take a local bus

C．You have to learn to speak the local language
D．You may take an electric bike

Key West, Florida is a wonderful place to spend a vacation. It is a truly charming and fun city for the whole family. And of course you will get the good weather of Florida, with which you have plenty of time to enjoy the outdoor activities.
Key West is the most southern city in the continental USA. That is why their sunsets are so amazing. The sun is brighter there at sunset than anywhere else. It’s so beautiful that everyone gathers every evening at Mallory Dock to watch it. And there you will see jugglers (玩雜耍的人) and musicians entertaining in the streets.
The houses surrounded by trees and flowers are lovely in Key West, and many are restored and absolutely charming. There are too many hotels, inns, guest houses and restaurants to talk about. They all look great and their prices change according to seasons, and you can find something to suit every pocketbook and every taste.
At the seaport you will see various boats. It’s very interesting. The city is rich in history and was home to Ernest Hemingway. Harry Truman chose it for his winter White House. There are so many public transportation—taxis, tour trains, trolleys, bikes—and you can even walk if you choose. There are beautiful coral reefs. The deep reefs are farther off shore and are best visited with an experienced guide. However, there are shallow reefs close in where snorkelers (潛水者) can explore to their heart’s content. At Key West Marine Park you can do some good snorkeling.  In Key West you can go diving, fishing and do all sorts of water sports.
