thousands of chinese are studying at schools in the united states. and writer liel leibovitz says the students are following an example that began in the eighteen seventies. mr. leibovitz and writer matthew miller joined forces to tell the story of the students in their book, “fortunate sons.” the book says china sent one hundred twenty boys from 1872 to 1875 to america to learn about developments that could help modernize their country. mr. leibovitz got the idea for the book about the boys a few years ago when he was traveling with his wife in china. mr. leibovitz learned that qing government sent a whole delegation(代表团) of boys to learn the ways of the west. the goal was for them to return to china and help their country.the book says the boys received their american training in massachusetts, new york, new jersey and connecticut. it must have been a very good education. mr. leibovitz says the first prime minister of the chinese republic completed this program. and so did the first engineer to build a large-scale railroad without foreign help. the same was true of the fathers of chinese education, diplomacy and the navy. the book-writers had only to open some boxes containing the writings of these men to learn about them. their notebooks, journals, letters and postcards were in english. mr. leibovitz said he was lucky to have so much information from events that took place long ago. the students returned to china after about nine years. they no longer spoke mandarin(国语) well enough to answer questions. police welcomed them home by putting them in jail. the young men were released after about a week. but they were given low-level jobs. mr leibovitz says it took about ten years for them to rise to higher positions. he said their story continues today with large numbers of chinese studying in the united states. 21. how many exchange children did qing government send to america?a. 1872. b. 1875. c. 120. d. 210.22. the qing government send the boys to america because it .a. wanted them to help their country b. lost the warc. expected them to destroy the culture of the westd. wanted the western to help the boys23. which of the following is not true according to the passage?a. many thousands of chinese are studying at schools in america.b. some of the boys received their american training in california.c. police welcomed the boys home by putting them in jail.d. one of the boys became the father of chinese education.bmy first day of high school was like any other first day: registering, finding new classmates, meeting new teachers, and seeking new friends.during lunch, i ran into my first snag （困难） of the day. at the dining hall, as the checkout （付款处） lady asked for my money, i realized that i had forgotten my lunch money .when i told her about it, i heard a voice behind me. i turned around and there stood a teacher telling her he would pay for my lunch. he told me his name, mr. pete walker, and said, if you get a chance, you should take my history class. i recognized his name, and told him i was in his class later that day. mr. walker befriended me on the very first day of school at a very crucial time of the day-lunch! he always told us we should do more than we ever thought. he pushes us to do all things better. he coached many sports, and sponsored many after-class activities. if we were interested in something, he would find a way to expose us to it by inviting speakers, taking us on field trips, or obtaining information for us. two years later, my junior year in school was clicking along nicely when one day i was riding my motorcycle and i was hit by a car. i spent six days in hospital and was at home in bed for two weeks before returning to school. mr. walker stopped by the hospital each day with my work from my teachers. once i was at home, he would bring my work too.after high school, i attended the united states army airborne school in fort benning, georgia. i knew my parents would be there the day i graduates, but they brought an unexpected guest. they came across mr. walker at lunch several days before and told him i was about to graduate. his visit, however, was not a surprise to me.24. at the dining hall, .a. the lady didnt want to charge the author for his lunchb. the author knew mr. walker was right behind himc. mr. walker didnt know the author was his studentd. the author decided to invite mr. walker to lunch25. the story in paragraph 4 showed that mr. walker wasa. caring b. strict c. skilled d. learned26. what happened on the authors graduation day?a. his parents met mr. walker by chance.b. his family invited mr. walker to lunch.c. mr. walker brought an unexpected guest.d. his parents came together with mr. walker. cmore than 20 chinese and american experts discovered that young people of both countries are facing the same problems of economic and social pressures and lack of confidence. wayne meisel, director of the campus outreach opportunity league of minnesota university, said that under economic pressure american young people have to work hard and most students have to take part-time work in order to support themselves. in these circumstances, he said, young people lack confidence, which was not the case in the 1960s when young people thought themselves capable of doing anything. in spite of the different conditions in china, li xuequan, director of the higher education section of the all-china youth federation, said chinese young people are also facing economic pressure and are worried about inflation (通货膨胀) and corruption (腐败). in order to solve these problems, the chinese and american experts agreed that youth organization should call on the whole of society to create favorable conditions for the healthy growth of young people, as well as to encourage them to meet the urgent needs of society. meisel said that since last year he has sent letters of “challenge to youth” to many young people, urging them to commit themselves to meet such needs as feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, caring for the lonely and sick, serving the elderly and preserving the environment. the letter says:“through the service, we touch the lives of others and enrich our own.”27. what is the main factor that leads to young peoples lack of confidence in both countries?()a. their education b. their lazinessc. economic pressured. part-time jobs28. what is the possible situation in the 1960s?()a. young people lacked confidence as well.b. young people were quite confident in america.c. young people in america were able to do anything well.d. young chinese people were very confident.29.the word “commit” can be replaced by “”.a. keepb. devote c. helpd. express30.the passage is mainly about in the two countries.a. lack of confidence of the young peopleb. problems of the young people and ways to solve themc. approaches to touching the lives of othersd. challenges for the young people第二节

56 (meet) many difficulties in the past seven years in learning english. but i managed 57 (overcome) them and make much progress. i can well remember 58 the spelling and meaning of words is the first difficulty i met as a beginner. but i found out my own way to deal with them. as to spelling i never copied 59 new word again and again to remember it. as to meaning, i rarely recite its chinese 60 (translate) but often put the word into the sentence to learn its meaning. moreover, if you use a word quite often, its spelling and meaning will be no problem. after all, we are learning english in order to speak it, or to use it. grammar and idioms may be another 61 (difficult). but i have also got over it. i have not read lots of grammar books. i only know some ordinary grammatical rules. by doing so, i come to taste out “a sense of english language”. i can feel 62 a sentence is good english or not. 63 (final),i want to say that overcoming all these difficulties needs perseverance. every day, i spent at least an hour 64 (learn) english in the past seven years. i believe, this is an important reason 65 im able to make progress in learning english. 第四部分 写作 （共两节 满分25分）第1节
