乌鲁木齐2019高考英语阅读理解三月天天练（4）及解析This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers（young people aged from 1319）from all over the world will spend about ten months in U. S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world. Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred nineteen, spent last year in Germany with Georges family. In turn, Georges son Mike spent a year in Freds home in America. Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months study, the language began to come to him. The school was completely different from what he had expected-much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.Family life, too, was different. The fathers word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car. “Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.” At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea.“I suppose I should criticize American schools,”he says.“It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in may outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”68. The whole exchange programme is mainly to_.

After the statement of the victory came the list of the wounded and killed. Georges name among the latter was a terrible shock to the Osborne family and its chief. The old father was weighed down by his deep sorrow, but whatever his feelings of guilt and regret for the past, the stern（stubborn and strict）old man never mentioned his sons name. About three weeks later a letter was sent on to him by Dobbin, now promoted to major. It was Georges farewell to his father, written at dawn on the day of the battle.The poor boys letter did not say much. He was too proud to show his feelings. He only wished his father goodbye, and begged for his help for his wife, and it might be the child, whom he left behind. He spoke regretfully of his former waste of money, thanked his father for his generosity in the past, and promised that whether he fell on the field, or lived through the battle, he would act in a manner worthy of his family name.Mr. Osborne dropped the letter with the bitterest feeling of disappointed love and revenge(报复). His son was still beloved and unforgiven.Towards the end of the autumn, the old man told his daughters that he was going abroad. He did not say where, but they knew at once that his steps would be turned towards Belgium, and that Georges widow was still in Brussels.Many of the wounded were still there, recovering. After visiting his sons grave, Mr. Osborne easily found some of Georges regiment(步兵团). He was coming out of his hotel when he saw a soldier with a bandaged arm, in the well-known uniform, on a bench in the park. He sat down trembling by the wounded man.“Did you know Captain Osborne?” he asked, and added, after a pause, “he was my son, sir.”The man lifted his unwounded arm and touched his cap sadly. “The whole army didnt contain a finer or a better officer,” he said. He told the old man that one of Georges fellows was in town just getting over a shot in the shoulder. He would be able to tell him anything he wanted to know.Guided in this way, Mr. Osborne made the journey to Waterloo and went over the field. He saw the spot where George had cut down the French officer who was trying to seize the regimental flag, and the place where the young captain, rushing down the hill and waving his sword, received a shot and fell.As he was driving back to the gates of the city at sunset, old Osborne met another carriage. He drew quickly back. He saw Amelia, her face white and thin, her hair parted under a widows cap. Her eyes were fixed and looking nowhere. She did not know him, nor, until he saw Dobbin by her side, did he recognize her.He hated her. He did not know much, until he saw her there.Dobbin turned and rode back to him.“Mr. Osborne! Mr. Osborne!” he cried. “I have a message for you.”“From that woman?” said Osborne fiercely.“No,” replied the other, “from your son. Im here as his closest friend, and in charge of his will. Are you aware how small an amount he has left, and the poor circumstances of his widow? Do you know her condition that her life and her mind have been shaken by the blow that has fallen upon her? She will be a mother soon. Will you forgive the poor child, for George? ”“I dont know his widow, sir,” was the reply. “Let her go back to her father. I will never speak to her, or recognize her.” 67.

The prince will replace carbon-heavy private jets and helicopters with scheduled flights and train services. The move came as Prince Charles urged business leaders to publish the environmental pact of their activities. He said, “Few accountants and business decision-makers ask, How much of our critical natural resource is left? How many miles of polar ice cap has our business helped melt this year? By how many inches have we raised sea levels? How many species have we put at risk? How many homes will be flooded, how many people will die of thirst or starvation because of our activities? These are not comfortable questions, but, by God, they need to be asked. ”He added, “At the moment these costs do not appear in anyones books Yet they are real, they are incurred now and in a relatively short time, the damage being caused may be beyond remedy. ” He said the world was “running up the biggest global credit card debt in history, but with little or no thought for how the bill will ever be paid”. Flanked by the prime minister and business and community leaders at St James Palace, the prince said his new “accounting for sustainability” project would give consumers the power to choose products that caused less damage to the planet. Duchy Originals, the princes food company, is taking steps to work out how much carbon dioxide and other green-house gas are emitted in growing, processing and distributing its products. The changes to the princes travel arrangements announced yesterday are part of a wider review of the carbon footprint associated with activities at all three of his residences. Clarence House in London, Highgrove and Birkhall on the Balmorals estate(庄园), as well as the activities of his 21 personal and 105 full-time staff. Measures include a review of electricity use, commuter and other staff travel and are intended to identify further reductions i
