第四部分 写作（共三节，满分50分）

第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Tokyo is one of those places that you may love and hate at the same time. In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where you want to be. Of course there are too many cars. Japanese drive as fast as they can， but in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different from London， Paris and New York in that. It is different when one wants to walk.

At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in Londons Oxford Street. But the street near the Ginza in Tokyo always has a lot of people on foot， and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite； there are just too many of them.

The worst time to be in the street is at 11：30 at night. That is when the nightclubs are closing and everybody wants to go home. There are 35，000 nightclubs in Tokyo， and you do not often see one that is empty.

During the day， most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations， trains arrive every two or three minutes， but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded， Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on time. On a London train， you would see everybody reading newspapers. On Tokyo trains， everybody in a seat seems to be asleep， whether his journey is long or short.

In Tokyo， I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire engines raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises， but none of them can really surprise me now.

56.Why did the writer say someone may hate Tokyo？ （no more than 10 words）

57. Why is Tokyo different from London according to the writer？ （no more than 10 words）

58. At what time does the writer think is the worst time to go in the street in Tokyo？ （no more than 4 words）

59. How do most Japanese go to work？ （no more than 2 words）

60. What do the English people usually do on the train in London？ （no more than 4 words）

第二节 短文改错（满分15分）

Last Sunday after breakfast I decided to seeing a film. The cinema was a bit far away， I had to take a bus there. When I was sitting on the bus， an old woman got off. There are no seats free， so I stood up at once and said to me， “Come here and take my seat， please.” The old women walked over and sat down. She was exciting， saying “Thank you very much， dear little girl.” Soon the bus stopped in the front of the cinema. I got off and waved goodbye for the old woman. I felt very happily for doing a good deed.
