五、标出与段落内容无关的句子（10 points,5 points each）Read the following paragraph and underline the TWO irrelevant sentences.

第1题

Rumor is the most primitive way of spreading stories—by passing them on from mouth to mouth. But civilized countries in normal times have better sources of news than rumor. They have radio, television, and newspaper. Rumor is harmful to our society. In times of stress and confusion, however, rumor comes out and becomes widespread. At such times the different kinds of news are in competition: the press, television, and radio versus the grapevine.

Pearls are gathered by men known as pearl divers. Actually, these men do not dive. They are lowered by a rope to the bottom of

the sea. Many tourists to Japan enjoy shopping for cultured pearls. Pearl gatherers work in pains, with one remaining at the surface to help the other return from his dive. An experienced pearl diver can stay down about a minute and a half and can often make as many thirty dives in one day.

Your name is Wang Hao. Your foreign friend Nora told you in her last letter that she likes Chinese food. Now write a letter to tell her more about Chinese food.(150-200 words)

【正确答案】 Jan.6, 2002 Dear Nora,

I didn’t know that you are very interested in Chinese food until I read

your last letter. So, I’d like to tell you something about Chinese food to satisfy your curiosity in this letter.

Chinese food looks good, tastes good, and is nutritious. These admirable qualities are achieved by careful preparation, quick cooking and artistic imagination.

Chinese cuisine is noted for its variety. Regional differences provide an infinite variety in tastes. Cantonese cooking is sweeter and more colorful than that of other regions, and is famous for its pastries. Szechuan food is hot and peppery, Shanghai food is salty, and Peking food is common throughout northern China, Northern dishes are generally mild.

I like Cantonese cooking best and how about you ? I hope you will come to China someday, and I will invite you to taste some of your favorite Chinese foods.

Please write me again soon.

Sincerely yours, Wang Hao 【你的答案】
