PART Ⅰ DICTATION

Eco-tourism

     Nowadays many of us try to live in a way that will damage the environment as little as possible. We recycle our newspapers and bottles; we take public transport to get to work; and we try to buy locally produced fruit and vegetables. And we want to take these attitudes on holiday with us. This is why alternative forms of tourism are becoming popular in the world. There are lots of names for these new forms of tourism: responsible tourism, nature tourism, adventure tourism, educational tourism and more.

    Although everyone may have a different definition, most people agree that these new forms of tourism should do the following: first, they should conserve the wildlife and culture of the area; second, they should benefit the local people; third, they should make a profit without destroying natural resources; and finally they should provide an experience that tourists want to pay for.

PART Ⅵ WRITING SECTION ACOMPOSITION

SECTION A

The Dragon Boat Festival

The Dragon Boat Festival, also called the Duanwu Festival, is a traditional Chinese holiday occurring on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. The festival is believed to have originated in①ancient China. Today several explanations exist concerning its origin.However, the most popular one relates to the suicide of Qu Yuan, an upright poet and statesman of the Warring States Period. He drowned himself in the Miluo River, where the local people paddled boats out first to retrieve his body and then to scare the fish away, which is said to be the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival.　　

Until today, as a celebration of the festival, the dragon boat racing is still held—a number of dragon-shaped boats row forward in cadence with a drumbeat competing to reach the finish. It’s quite a spectacle with colorful boats and thousands of audience cheering along the riversides.　　

Besides, the festival is also marked by eating “Zongzi”, a pyramid-shaped dumpling made of glutinous rice and wrapped in reed leaves to add a special flavor. Other customs are also observed, including hanging healthy herbs on the front door, drinking realgar wine.　　

Thanks to its re-recognition as a public holiday in 2005, the Dragon Boat Festival has been enjoying more popularity and significance. Although the essence of the festival might differ from the past, it still offers the observers an opportunity to have a glimpse of the rich Chinese cultural heritage.

Dear Michael,　　

First I wish there were a better word than “thanks” to express my gratitude for your generous help. “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” That was what I felt when you promptly met my request for meeting me at the station and kindly offered to give me a hand in cleaning my dorm. If there is anything I can do for you, please feel free to use my help at any time.

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming
