Dear Tom，

　　I'm glad to hear that you are coming for a holiday in our city the next month. I'm such happy that you will stay in my house.

　　There have been greatly changes in the last three year in my home. First, we have rebuilt your house, which now has four private rooms. You can choose any of them to live when you come. Second, my parents have set up a small restaurant in our village, that you can eat healthily. I'm really willing to be your guide to make your journey interested and meaningful.

　　If you had any requests, don't hesitate to let me know. Looking forward to hear from you.

　　 Yours，

　　Li Hua

【答案】

第一处：去掉the。

第二处：such→so。

第三处：greatly→great。

第四处：year→years。

第五处：your→our。

第六处：live后加in。

第七处：that→where。

第八处：interested→interesting。

第九处：had→have。

第十处：hear→hearing。

【解析】

1.时间状语前不用the修饰。

2.happy是形容词，其前应用副词so修饰，such修饰名词。

3.changes是名词，故应用形容词great修饰。greatly是副词。

4.由前面的"three"可知，这里应该用复数形式years。

5.根据语境可知，这里是为"我们"自己重盖房子，因此用our。

6.前面叙述的是房子，这里指住在房子里，因此不及物动词live后加in，与"any of them"构成动宾关系。

7.先行词是"a small restaurant"，逗号后面是一个非限制性定语从句，故不能用that。分析定语从句可知引导词在句中做地点状语，因此把that改为where。

8.这里要用interesting说明journey的情况。interested 常用来描述人的心理状态。

9.文章的时态是一般现在时，又根据后面的"don't hesitate"可知，这里也要用一般现在时have。

10.look forward to中to是介词，后接名词或者v.­ing做宾语。

五、阅读理解

　　A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.

　　Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding-undoubtedly first­rate photo­journalism-if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck (海难), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.

The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian­built three­master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled (雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four
