A Speech about My Hometown
My lovely hometown is located on the south shore of an island. It's a small town with only about 9,000 people and an area of about 3.8 square miles.
First, I want to talk about the people in the neighborhood. Generally speaking, people are very nice here, especially in summer. I feel that in summer everyone is in a great mood, and very generous. For example, one summer afternoon, I was at the gas station filling up my car and was short of money. Generously an old gentleman gave me the money to pay the gas attendant. That's the type of people you can expect from my hometown.
The greatest part about the town, in my opinion, is the location. The Great Bay is five minutes away from my house and it's fantastic. Another great thing is how close everybody lives to each other. With it being such a small town, all my friends live five minutes away, which is a great advantage to me and everyone else. Lastly, the nightlife is great. On any Saturday night every bar is packed with people, so there's always something going on.
So far I've explained the good side of my hometown, but there are also some boring things about it. It is great in summer, but it is a different story in winter. When winter comes around, the town turns into a “ghost town”. This is because there is nowhere to go. The only thing we have is a shopping center. It would be nice if we had a few more options to choose from.

反馈
答案：1.F 2. T 3. F 4. T 5. F
解析：
1. 这是一道细节题。第一段的第一句意为“我可爱的家乡坐落在岛上的南海岸。”所以选F。
2. 这是一道词义辨析题。第二段第三句意为“例如，一个夏日的下午我在加油站加油却没带够钱。”该句中的“short of money”的意思是“缺钱，手头紧”，这里可以理解为“身上的钱不够”。所以选T。
3. 这是一道细节题。第三段第四句意为“在这样的小镇上，我所有的朋友们住处相隔5分钟的距离，这对我和其他人来说都是一个优势。”，所以选F。
4. 这是一道词义辨析题。第三段的最后一句“On any Saturday night every bar is packed with people, so there’s always something going on.”中“be packed with”的意思是“挤满”，该句的意思是“在任何一个周六的晚上每个吧里都挤满了人，所以总有事情会发生。”，所以选T。
这是一道细节题。第四段的最后三句意为“冬季来临时，小镇变成了‘鬼镇’。因为没有消遣的地方。唯一的去处是一家购物中心。如果有更多可以选择的地方那该多好啊。”最后一句用的是虚拟语气，事实上没有很多可以选择的地方，所以选F。
