Hi Lisa,
I’m having a birthday party next Friday at my house. Would you like to come? It will be fun! Lots of people from my school are coming. You know some of them—Petra, Karl, Marco and Rob. Would you mind bringing some lemonade and cookies?
My house is behind our school, 6 Greenfield Avenue. It’s right next to the park and it’s got a blue front door.
Hope you can come and see you soon.
Edu
Hi Edu,
I hope you are doing well. I was so excited to get the invitation to your birthday party. Thank you for inviting me. I can’t wait to come!
▲ I understand that the party is very important to you. But my friend Amy has a game that day out of town, and it will last for a week. I have to go, because she has no other friends.
I am so sorry and sad to miss all the fun. I hope you have a great time, and maybe we can get together another time.
Thank you again for the invitation.
Lisa

1.Who is going to have a birthday party?
A Lisa.
B Edu.
C Petra.
D Amy.
解析:选B。B 细节理解题。上面一封信是聚会邀请信,写信人是Edu,被邀请人是Lisa,所以要举办生日聚会的人是Edu。故选B。
2.How many people are going to the party at least?
A Three.
B Four.
C Five.
D Six.
解析:选B。B 细节理解题。根据上面邀请信中的“Lots of people from my school are coming. You know some of them—Petra, Karl, Marco and Rob.”可知,有Petra, Karl, Marco and Rob四个人要来参加聚会,根据后文可知Lisa不会来参加。所以至少有四个人要来参加聚会,故选B。
3.Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ”?
A I am looking forward to meeting you soon!
B Unfortunately, I am not able to come.
C I am so happy to be able to come.
D What will the party be like?
解析:选B。B 句子填充题。根据该空后文可知,Lisa在阐述不能来参加聚会的原因,所以本句应该告知“不能来参加聚会”,故选B。
4.Why will Lisa miss the party?
A She will have a game.
B She has no other friends.
C She will go out of town.
D She is sorry and sad to go.
解析:选C。C 推理判断题。根据Lisa回信的第二段可知,Lisa的朋友Amy那天要出城去参加一个比赛,Lisa要去陪她,由此可知Lisa那天也要出城,这也是她不能参加聚会的原因。故选C。
5.What’s the best title of the passage?
A Invitation Letters
