I am glad to receive your letter. How is everything going! You said you are anxious now because you find it hard to learn English well. Don’t worry. I think you have to improve your English step by step.
First of all, you should believe in yourself! As we know, a good beginning is half done. Secondly, according to my experience, I think watching English movies, listening to some English songs and talking in English would be helpful. Of course, writing more is also important. Last but not least, you have to preview lessons before class, which will help you understand what the teacher says in class.
Follow my advice, and I believe that you will be successful. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours, Li Hua
高一英语上学期期末考试模拟试题

The Olympic flame
The Olympic flame is a symbol carried over from the ancient Olympics, where a sacred（神圣的）flame burned at the altar of Zeus throughout competition. It was finally reintroduced at the 1924 Amsterdam Games, and again burned in 1932.
Carl Diem, chairman of the organizing committee for the 1936 Berlin Games, proposed that the flame be lit in Greece and transported to Berlin via a torch relay. The idea was adopted（采纳）, and continued at every Olympic Games since 1952.
The flame is lit at the ancient site of Olympia by the natural rays of the sun reflected off a curved mirror. It is lit at a ceremony by women dressed in robes resembling those worn in ancient times, who then pass it to the first relay runner.
Olympic motto
“Citius, altius, forties” is a Latin phrase meaning “swifter, higher, stronger”, which Baron de Coubertin borrowed from Father Henri Martin Dideon of Paris. Dideon was headmaster of Arcueil College, and used the phrase to describe the athletic achievements of students at the school. He had previously been at the Albert Le Grand school, where the Latin words were carved in stone above the main entrance.
Olympic oath（宣誓）
“In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules that govern them… in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honour of our teams.”
Written by Baron de Coubertin, the oath is taken by an athlete from the host nation while holding a corner of the Olympic flag. The athletes’ oath was first taken by Belgian fencer Victor Boin at the 1920 Antwerp Games. A judge from the host country also speaks the oath with slightly different wording.

In the days when the whites ruled South Africa and apartheid（种族隔离）was the law of the land, two middle-aged blacks met in a whites-only-section of Johannesburg. One of them had a permit to work in the area, the other did not. This meant he could be put behind bars for walking into a forbidden area.
Suddenly they saw a policeman coming towards them, and they were frightened at once. “Run!” whispered the man with the permit to his friend. “I’ll follow.”
They started running and the policeman began chasing them, shouting “Stop! Stop!” Finally he caught the second man.
“Did you think you could run faster than me!” he shouted. “Show me your permit!”
The man, playing for time to help his friend, began searching slowly in his pocket and finally took his permit out.
The policeman was surprised. He realized that he had been tricked. The man without the permit was now too far away to be caught.
“When you had a permit why did you run!” he shouted loudly.
“Doctor’s orders,” said the man. “He has asked me to run a mile every evening.” “Oh, yes?” sneered（冷笑）the policeman. “Then why was your friend running?” “His doctor has ordered him to run, too,” said the man. The policeman became red with anger.
“You think you’re very smart, don’t you?” he shouted. “But tell me, if you were only running for your health why didn’t you stop when you saw me running after you? And don’t tell me you didn’t see me chasing you. I know you did!”
“Of course I knew you were running after me,” said the man. “Then why didn’t you stop?” asked the policeman.
“It was stupid of me,” said the man, “but I thought you also had been ordered to run by your doctor.”

Music is an international language. The songs that are sung or played by instruments are beautiful to all people everywhere.
Popular music in America is what every student likes. Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class, and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the streets.
Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, politics, and activities of the American people. Most of the radio broadcast is music.
Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or a tape which radio stations use in every state. Once the popular singer is heard throughout the country, young people buy his or her tapes. Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star. There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music. It tells stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called western or country music. This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Today, any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music.
Serious music for the concert halls is called classical music. Music for instruments is called orchestra music（管弦乐）, such as the symphonies（交响乐）of Beethoven. There is opera（歌剧）for singers. There is ballet（芭蕾舞剧）for dancers like the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in China.
28. How many kinds of music are mentioned in the passage?
