Dear Mum and Dad,

I'm writing this letter to you from the center of Australia. At the moment we're staying near Uluru—that's the Aboriginal(土著) name for Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a balloon tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it is. It is 3.6 kilometers long and 384 meters high. The colours of the rock are fantastic. And at different times of the day, the colour changes. The Aborigines are the first people of Australia, and the ancient Aboriginal stories describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a center of Aboriginal culture.

The Australians have many British relatives and they're like us in many ways. Their family life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food and drinks that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but football is the most popular. Most Australians live near the coast, so they also love going to the beach, swimming and surfing.

Although it's December, it's summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and the countryside near the coast is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback(澳洲内陆)is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand.

The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel(骆驼)ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper. When I sat on its back, it became very angry. So everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel lay down.

Finally, later this evening, we're taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home. It's been a fantastic trip!

Best wishes!

Yours,

Tony

四、任务型阅读(每小题2分, 共10分)

As space science develops, man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but also dangerous.

While working in space, spacemen are facing danger. Scientists have found that radiation(辐射)is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The damage done by radiation won't be discovered until their children or even grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but there's no really helpful medicine.

(42)Space junk is also thought to be a great danger to spacemen. It's reported that there are 9, 000 man­made things flying in space. About 30% of these are man­made satellites(卫星). 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space junk. An explosion(爆炸)in 1996 made a cloud of 300, 000 fragments(碎片). Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working on helpful ways to deal with space junk.

Although space is really dangerous, (43) it interests everyone on the earth. In the near future, it may become usual for people to spend a few days in space. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space for a few years. So we should care for space and do something to help improve the space environment.

Keep Healthy

Today, some students have several health problems. One of them is eating too much junk food. It's bad for their health. Although their parents don't want them to eat too much junk food, they still eat it. Another problem is playing computer games. It's bad for their eyes. They can easily be short­sighted after playing computer games for a long time. Besides, they can't pay attention to their studies, either. What should we do to keep healthy? Firstly, I think we should eat more vegetables and fruit. Secondly, we should listen to parents' suggestions, and stay away from computer games. Thirdly, we should sleep about eight hours every day. We can do sports every day, such as running and playing ball games.
