recommend is Elizabeth Samuelson. I believe you know her in your position as volunteer coordinator (协调员)．
I have known Elizabeth for more than 20 years as both a friend and a neighbor. During that time I have seen her work tirelessly on scores of community projects and committees. As far as I know, she has never received any kind of recognition from the community for her work. I believe she should be given some sort of special recognition.
Just last year alone, she worked on at least six different community projects including the Park Renewal Project and the Heritage Homes Fund-Raising Banquet. In addition, she is a weekly driver for the Meals-on-Wheels program and she visits patients in the care unit on a regular basis. Whenever a project or committee needs her, she will put herself into the work wholeheartedly. I'm sure that if you check with a few of your staff members who have been there over the years, they will confirm Elizabeth's community service record and probably be able to add many examples to the few I have given here. By the way, Elizabeth has no idea that I am writing this. She is a humble (谦虚的) person, and if she were aware of it, she would not allow me to send it.
I thought about writing such a letter about her a number of times in the past but just never took action. Then last week, I noticed in the paper that you sponsor (主办) an annual dinner at which dozens of awards are given out to people with much less community service than Elizabeth. In fact, I checked with her and she has never even been invited to that annual event!
I urge you to correct that omission (疏忽) now and take action to see that Elizabeth is properly recognized for her many years of silent but outstanding service to this community.
Sincerely， Linda Sullivan

Ⅰ.语法填空
(2016·四川攀枝花市第三次统考)My interest in Chinese food started years ago, when I was a young reporter for the Washington Post. Our office wasn't far __1__ Chinatown, where I found some very good Chinese restaurants.
The first time I ever ate Chinese food, I loved it. I __2__ (notice) the fresh taste of the meat and vegetables. When I learned more about the food, I began to understand why __3__ has this special feature.
Many years ago, China had __4__ energy crisis because it lost much of its wood due to overpopulation and poor __5__ (manage) of its forests. This loss was very bad for the country, of course, but it turned out to be very good for the food. Wood became very expensive and hard to get, so the Chinese had to either find a substitute for their __6__ (value) wood, or learn how to use it better. There weren't any substitutes so people found ways to economize.
In order to economize in __7__ (cook), they had to use very little wood. So they started cutting their meat and vegetables into small pieces before they put them in the hot oil. That way, the food cooked __8__ (fast) and they saved more fuel. The food __9__ (prepare) in this way kept its fresh flavor — and it's this flavor __10__ attracts people from other countries to the art of Chinese cooking.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了作者对中国食物的热爱和中国烹饪的由来。 1．from 句意：我们的办公室离唐人街不远??be far from意为“离??远”，符合句意。故填from。
2．noticed 根据上下文的时态可知，此处应用一般过去时。故填noticed。
3．it 句意：当我对这种食物了解得更多时，我开始明白为什么这种食物会如此特别。空格处与前一分句中的“the food”为同一事物，为了避免重复，故用代词“it”指代“the food”。故填it。
4．an 句意：多年以前，中国发生了一次能源危机??空格处修饰“energy crisis”，表
第 14 页 共 15 页
示泛指，crisis在该句中为可数名词单数，且“energy”的读音以元音音素开头，因此填不定冠词an。
5．management 根据空格前的形容词poor及空格后的介词of可知，空格处应为名词。故填management。
6．valuable 空格后是名词wood，因此应用所给词的形容词形式修饰wood。故填valuable。
7．cooking 介词in后用名词、代词或动名词。cook作名词时意为“厨师”，不合句意，因此要用其动名词形式cooking，意为“烹饪”。
8．faster “the food cooked ________”与and后的“they saved more fuel”是并列关系，故此处也应用副词fast的比较级faster。
9．prepared 分析句子结构可知，句子的谓语动词是kept，故prepare是非谓语动词。prepare与主语the food之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，因此用其过去分词形式。故填prepared。
10．that 去掉it's和空格后，句子剩余部分结构和意义都完整。由此可知，本句是一个强调句。故填that。

I'm Li Hua, your student assistant. How about your vacation in America? I'm writing to inform you of the changes in our school.
With the increasing number of students, we have rebuilt the old teaching building and laboratory building, which have become cleaner and wider than before. Classrooms are arranged on the second floor and the third floor, and the teacher's office has been moved to the end of the first floor.

In addition, the big news for you is that coffee and steak are served during the lunch time. I'm sure you will enjoy them.
I'm looking forward to your early return, Mr. Allen.
Yours， Li Hua
