Question

June 8th, 2004

　　Tian'anmen. Square. Forbidden City. The Ming Tombs. Summer Palace. The Great Wall Peking Duck. Street of Bars.

　　I feel like I've been run over by a tractor. Beijing has too much history. It's completely overpowering. I think my friend is just as blinded by the pure brightness of China's long past. Oh… the glory of ancient China still exists. I think out of all the places I visited, I like the Great Wall the best. We climbed, and climbed and climbed. Parts of it were basically straight up. We were out of breath all the way up. But it was all worth it. One sight of the length and lasting power of this monument of humankind blew the wind out of me. From our point of vision, the wall was endless; travels as far as the eye could see.

　　On a totally unrelated topic, people here really like to use umbrellas and spit(not in that order). A great majority of the women here hold these little colored umbrellas--in fear of darkening the skin. I feel so out of place. I'm really brown. My mom calls me a black cat. One thing I can't get used to is people smoking in the restaurants and stores. Smoking is forbidden in most buildings in America unless there is a specified area . The food, however, is unbelievable. Salivating（流口水）became common.　　I heard the National Entrance Exam ended today or yesterday. I'm still shocked at the idea of having so many exams crowded into two days. Thankfully, we didn't have to go through with it. Instead, we had to deal with the SATs. I had the chance to talk with a few students of my age. I really admire these students. They get the spirit of“patience and perseverance”.

Answer 1

答案：A;D;C;B
解析：

(1) A；推測題。長城上婦女用的遮陽傘使作者想起自己被曬黑的皮膚。由第三段得出。 (2) D；推測題。最使作者迷惑不解的是中國的全國統(tǒng)一考試竟然擠在兩天考完。由最后一段“I'm still shocked at the idea of having so many exams crowded into two days．”得出。 (3) C；作者對中國在餐館等公共場合不禁止吸煙不高興，在作者的國家這些地方是不準吸煙的。由倒數(shù)第二段“One thing I can't get used to is people smoking in the restaurants and stores. Somking, is forbidden…”得出。 (4) B；作者欽佩中國學生獲得了耐心和毅力的精神。respectful“尊敬的”。
