黑龙江省哈尔滨市2020年中考英语试卷
John Smith is an exchange student from New York. Here is a letter to his friend in his hometown.
Dear David, How time flies! It's been 3 months since I came to China. I'm having a great time on my student exchange program here. So far, I've completely got used to the life here and have known a lot about traditional Chinese culture. I'd like to share some with you. In China, there are many different kinds of traditional art forms, such as paper cutting, Chinese clay art and so on. Among them, the kite interests me most. The first ancient Chinese kite appeared more than 2,000 years ago. Then flying kites was spread into Japan, Korea and Malaysia during the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. Kites are regarded as the earliest craft (飞行器). They played an important role in the process of inventing the plane. Tea culture is important in China. Tea was discovered as a kind of drink by accident about 5,000 years ago. It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. It didn't appear in England until around 1660. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. Now tea has become one of the most popular drinks around the world. Lastly, I'd like to tell you something about one of the traditional Chinese festivals — the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is on the fifteenth day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar (阴历). Chinese people have been celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for centuries. If you'd like to know more about traditional Chinese culture, I will talk about it in the next letter. Best wishes! yours, John |
Sometimes it can be very difficult to predict(预测) the result of your exams, whether you are in a secondary school or even a university. This is probably because exams are one of the most anxious things in education for students. Whether a student is confident in their abilities or not,exams can be often both predictable(可预测的) and unpredictable. If the worst does happen, failing the exams can be one of the most disappointed experiences for students, especially when they were not expecting to fail their exams.
One way to deal with exam failure is to talk to people. Talk to your family, talk to your friends, discuss with them what you can do to get good grades. One thing you must remember is that failing your exams is not the end of the world. Exam failure is one of the many difficulties you'll have to overcome(克服) in your life, and there are always possibilities to learn from failure. After all, I' m sure most of you have heard of a famous saying, "Failure makes you stronger". Actually, it is really true. It gives you an understanding of what it means to fail, to lose, to receive a negative result that you may not have expected to get. In addition, from failure, you can learn why you fail. Then, next time, you can avoid this mistake, and can get better grades.

Dear Li Hua, How are you? It's in the middle of December and I am getting ready for Christmas here. I'd like to tell you about Christmas in the UK. Christmas is on 25th December. We don't go to school or work on that day. On Christmas Eve children put up big socks. Do you know why we do this? We wait for Father Christmas with presents. He is a fat man with white beard(胡子). We think he comes and puts presents in socks every year. The next day, we get up early and open our presents. Then we have a big dinner with our family. We put a Christmas tree in our house and decorate (装饰) it with lights and presents. In the afternoon, we watch TV or play games at home. Please tell me something about Spring Festival in China. What do your family do on Spring Festival Eve(前夕)? Hope to hear from you soon. Best wishes, Tony |
