From: Amy

Subject: Merry Christmas!
Hi, Jill.
How are you?
Today is Christmas. It's sunny and hot here. I go to the beach with my family at Christmas every year.
Here is a photo of my family. Look at our red hats. Aren't they lovely?
This is Father Christmas. Look at him. He wears shorts in Australia! I know it's winter in China now. Is it cold in your city, Nanjing? Is it snowy? Can you see “white Christmas”?
Chinese New Year is coming. It's now a holiday for many people.
Please tell me about Chinese New Year.
Yours,
Amy

解题思路：本题为阅读理解选择题，需带着问题定位原文对应信息，结合跨文化常识（南北半球季节相反）分析选项。第1题通过邮件格式特征判断文体；第2题依据原文天气描述及澳大利亚半球位置确定季节；第3题理解“白色圣诞节”的含义，结合澳大利亚气候分析；第4题逐一核对选项与原文细节，找出错误项。
【解析】
1. 解析：文中开头有“From: Amy”“To: Jill”“Subject: Merry Christmas!”的邮件格式特征，可判断这是一封电子邮件，故选B。
2. 解析：原文提到“It's sunny and hot here.”，澳大利亚位于南半球，圣诞节（12月）对应北半球冬季，南北半球季节相反，故澳大利亚此时为夏季，选B。
3. 解析：“白色圣诞节”指圣诞节当天下雪，澳大利亚圣诞节天气晴朗炎热，不会下雪，因此看不到“白色圣诞节”，选B。
4. 解析：A选项：文中“Is it cold in your city, Nanjing?”说明Jill住在南京，正确；B选项：文中“Look at our red hats.”说明Amy一家在圣诞节戴红帽子，正确；C选项：原文“a holiday for many people”表明中国新年是很多人的假期，并非仅对中国人，错误，故选C。
