外婆收到表姐____来的信,非常高兴。
A. 纪
B. 季
C. 计

Explanation
The character '寄' (jì) means 'to send' or 'to mail'. In the context of receiving a letter, '寄来的信' means 'a letter sent by'. The other options do not fit the meaning: '纪' (jì) refers to a discipline or age, '季' (jì) refers to a season or quarter, and '计' (jì) refers to a plan or to calculate.

A. 不然
B. 依然

'顺利' (shùnlì) means 'smoothly' or 'successfully'. '精彩' (jīngcǎi) means 'splendid' or 'brilliant', often used for performances or events, but '优秀' is better for '成绩' (results).

A. 悄悄
B. 赶紧
C. 幸好
D. 终于

A. 显得

Explanation
'显得' (xiǎnde) means 'to appear' or 'to seem'. Xiao Wen, realizing his misunderstanding, appeared to be embarrassed. '知道' (know), '明白' (understand), and '以为' (think/assume wrongly) are verbs of cognition and do not fit the grammatical structure and context of describing his appearance.

小安的姐姐怎样才能少花钱买到门票?
A. 在开放日时买票。
B. 9月15日前买票。
C. 10月12日买票。
D. 在表演那天买票。
Explanation
The letter states, '如果9月15日之前就买票,每张票可以少付10元' (If you buy tickets before September 15th, each ticket can save 10 yuan). Therefore, buying tickets before September 15th allows one to save money.

以下哪一个句子是对的?
A. 每个人都喜欢欢乐歌舞团的表演。
B. 新加坡歌舞节的活动都要买门票。
C. 姐姐也喜欢新城歌舞团的表演。
D. 小文听说这间学校的活动很丰富。
Explanation
The letter states, '赶快把这个消息告诉你姐姐,她最喜欢这个歌舞团了' (Quickly tell your sister this news, she likes this dance troupe the most). This confirms that the sister likes the performance. Options A is incorrect as it says '很多同学' (many students) like it, not '每个人' (everyone). Option B is incorrect as the Singapore Dance Festival has '很多表演和展览,不用买票就可以看的' (many performances and exhibitions that are free). Option D is incorrect; Xiao An mentions Xiao Wen wanted to know what activities are there, not that Xiao Wen heard they were rich.
