(75) so don t be surprised if you never encounter some of the expressions that still appear in school textbooks; and next time you hear somebody using a strange word you haven t heard before,you can comfort yourself that there may well be a native speaker somewhere who doesn t know it either. part v writing(15 points) directions: a.title:tourism is to develop rapidly b.time limit:40 minutes c.word limit:no less than 150 words(not including the given opening sentence) d.your composition should be based on the outline below and should start with the given opening sentence:china is in a unique position to develop its tourism. e.your composition must be written neatly on the answer sheet.   |
