一封来自朋友的邮件
Hi Samia,
Just a quick email to say that sounds like a great idea. Saturday is better for me because I’m meeting my parents on Sunday. So if that’s still good for you, why don’t you come here? Then you can see the new flat and all the work we’ve done to the kitchen since we moved in. We can eat at home and then go for a walk in the afternoon. It’s going to be so good to catch up finally. I want to hear all about your new job!
Our address is 52 Charles Road, but it’s a bit difficult to find because the house numbers are really strange here. If you turn left at the post office and keep going past the big white house on Charles Road, there’s a small side street behind it with the houses 50–56 on it. Don’t ask me why the side street doesn’t have a different name! But call me if you get lost and I’ll come and get you.
Let me know if there’s anything you do or don’t like to eat. Really looking forward to seeing you!
See you soon!
Gregor

1.1.Why does Gregor prefer Saturday?
A He has plans on Sunday.
B He works all day Sunday.
C His parents come Saturday.
D Samia is free Saturday.
解析：选A。A 细节理解题。原文说“Saturday is better for me because I’m meeting my parents on Sunday”，意思是Gregor周六更方便，是因为他周日要见父母，也就是周日有安排，A对。B“周日全天工作”文中没有提到；C“父母周六来”与原文“周日见父母”时间不符；D“Samia周六有空”只是Gregor在询问“if that’s still good for you”，并不是他更喜欢周六的原因。故选A。
2.2. What will the two friends probably do?
A Eat out and then shop.
B Move into a new flat.
C Clean the kitchen first.
D Eat in then go walking.
解析：选D。D 细节理解题。原文的“We can eat at home and then go for a walk in the afternoon”直接说明两人可能先在家吃饭，然后下午去散步，eat at home与eat in意思接近，D对。A“出去吃、然后购物”与eat at home相反，且购物未提；B“搬进新公寓”不对，因为文中已经说“since we moved in”，说明已经搬入；C“先打扫厨房”不对，原文是说看厨房已经做好的装修工作，不是打扫厨房。故选D。
3.3. How can Samia find Gregor’s house?
A Turn right at post office.
B Go straight after the side street.
C Walk past the white house.
D Ask at the police station.
解析：选C。C 细节理解题。原文说“turn left at the post office and keep going past the big white house on Charles Road”，即从邮局左转后一直走，经过那栋大白房子，所以选C“走过白房子”。A“在邮局右转”与原文左转相反；B“经过侧街后直行”文中没有这个信息；D“在警察局问”文中没有提到，原文是post office邮局，不是police station警察局。故选C。
4.4. What does the underlined phrase “catch up” probably mean?
A Meet for the first time.
B Run in a race together.
C Finish the work quickly.
D Share their recent news.
解析：选D。D 词义猜测题。根据后文“I want to hear all about your new job!”以及“finally”可知，catch up在这里不是“追赶”或“赛跑”，而是朋友见面后聊聊近况、叙旧，所以选D“分享近况”。A“第一次见面”不符合两人朋友关系；B“一起赛跑”是字面意思，不符合语境；C“快速完成工作”与上下文无关。故选D。
5.5. What is Gregor mainly writing to do?
A To complain about the flat.
B To invite a friend over.
C To ask about the new job.
D To describe a strange street.
解析：选B。B 主旨大意题。邮件开头说“Saturday is better for me... why don’t you come here?”，接着安排看新公寓、在家吃饭、下午散步，结尾又说“Really looking forward to seeing you!”整体主要目的是邀请朋友来家里，所以选B“邀请朋友过来”。A“抱怨公寓”没有依据；C“询问新工作”只是Gregor想听Samia讲的内容之一，不是全文主要目的；D“描述奇怪街道”只是为了帮助Samia找路，属于次要信息。故选B。
