分析标题和提纲可知，本题应该写一篇议论文，或者论说文，即说明和议论结合起来。
根据提纲，首先要说明五一假期缩短为三天的背景、原因；然后分析为什么有人呼吁恢复长假，如休息时间不够、长假可以促进经济发展等；最后再说明自己的看法，可以支持，也可以反对，或者也可以提出新的观点。
【范文】
ShouldMayDayHolidayBeResumedtoSevenDays?
Theweek-longMayDayHolidaywasshortenedtothreedaysin2007soastoeasetheburdenofovercrowdedtouristhotspotsandaddthreetraditionalChinesefestivalsliketheTomb-SweepingFestival,DragonBoatFestivalandMid-AutumnFestival.
However,somepeopleareappealingtotheGovernmentforresumingtheseven-dayMayDayHoliday.TheyclaimthatthesignificanceofMayDayisnotonlypayingtributetothousandsofdiligentworkers,butalsoprovidingthemanopportunitytogetrefreshedandgetreadytowelcomeandembracethecomingworkdaywithvibrancyandvigor.Inthatcase,athree-dayoff,whichisjustonedaymorethannormalweekend,wouldnotmakeanydifferencetothesepeople.Apartfromthat,thegoldenweekcouldhelpboostthetourismindustryaswellasdomesticconsumption.

内容。

【答案】B
10.Whenwilltheeventprobablytakeplaceaccordingtothetwospeakers?

12月22日，男士认为这个时间很合适，离John离开的日子正好很近。

【预测】从各选项中的内容可以大概推测出Hank和Rose很可能是同学或者朋友关系，
他们正在讨论一起去做某件事情。
13.What’stherelationshipbetweenthetwospeakers?
【答案】D
【解析】此题答案选D，而C是干扰项，对话中Hank说：
我敢打赌你是你们班上学
习最勤奋的人之一，由此可见他们并不是同班同学。
14.WhatisthemainreasonforHanktoinviteRosetoseeafilm?
【答案】C
【解析】A,B,D都是干扰项，很好排除，因为最后Hank说：
“其实今天是我的生日，
我想和你一起度过。
”这才是他邀请Rose的真正原因。
因此答案应该选C。
15.DoesRosefinallyagreetoseethefilmwithHank?
【答案】A
【解析】对话最后部分，Rose说：
“You’vetalkedmeintoit.”这句话的意思是说他已经
说服她了。

是A。
