【题目】Next year marks the 150th anniversary of when large numbers of Chinese started working on a huge project in the United States. They help to build America’s first transcontinental railroad between 1863 and 1869, connecting the East Coast with the West.
People know little about the Chinese railroad workers and what happened to them after the project was finished. Stanford University in California wants to learn more about the lives of these men by reaching out to their families.
Bill Yee’s ancestors came from southern China. He said, “My great-great-grandfather came to America during the‘gold rush’days and he returned to China as a wealthy man. And then my great-grandfather came to work on the railroad and died there.”
But that did not stop his grandfather from coming to the US on false papers. He operated a laundry. Bill Yee’s father continued to run the business and has never returned to China.
“Things were pretty bad in some parts of China in the 1860’s. They came to America at all costs in order that they no longer had to bear hunger,” Bill Yee said.
Shelley Fisher Fishkin is helping to direct the Chinese Railroad Workers in North America Project at Stanford University. She said, “Many of the Chinese workers who came to work on the transcontinental and other railroads returned to China after their work was done and created families there. Some of them settled in America and created new families, but they had families who they left when they came here and they may have descendants in China.”
There is a need to create a record of the object and spoken history from the families of the railroad workers.
“The US could not have become the modern industrial nation without the railroads. And the railroads would not have come together without the work of these Chinese workers,” said Shelley Fisher Fishkin.
【1】What do you know about Bill Yee?
A. His family was rich in the 1860’s.
B. His father settled in the USA.
C. He knows little about his ancestors and hopes to know more.
D. His grandfather came to America with his great-grandfather.
【2】According to Bill Yee, many Chinese went to America in the 1860’s mainly .
A. to run their own businesses
B. to find their ancestors
C. to make a living
D. to dig gold
【3】According to Shelley Fisher Fishkin, .
A. the descendants of the Chinese railroad workers all live a good life
B. they expect to find all the descendants of the Chinese railroad workers
C. some Chinese railroad workers hope they can find their descendants in China
D. some Chinese railroad workers have descendants both in China and the US
【4】Why did Stanford University carry out the project?
A. Because they want to help the Chinese railroad workers’ descendants to get together.
B. Because they want to show the importance of America’s first transcontinental railroad.
C. Because they want to learn more about how to build a railroad in the past
D. Because they want Americans to remember the Chinese railroad workers’ role in US history.

【题目】The World Bank has looked at the distinguishing features of successful school system.
According to the World Bank’s education specialist, Harry Patrinos, this include: improving the quality of teachers and making sure that teachers are highly regarded; providing information to make schools accountable and giving autonomy to schools and head teachers.
This matters not only for individual pupils but also for the well-being of countries, he says, because improving educational performance has a direct impact on improving economic performance.
China’s education performance— at least in cities such as Shanghai and Hong Kong— seems to be as spectacular as the country’s fast growing economy.
Certainly both these open and outward-looking cities consider education to be important and are willing to adopt the best educational practices from around the world to ensure success. In Hong Kong, education accounts for more than one-fifth of entire government spending every year.
“Shanghai and Hong Kong are small education systems, with a concentration of ideas, manpower and resources for education,” says Prof Cheng.
Under the banner “First class city, first class education”, Shanghai set about systematically re-equipping classroom, upgrading schools and improving the curriculum in the last decade.
It got rid of the “key schools” system which concentrated resources only on top students and top schools. Instead staff were trained in more interactive teaching methods and computers were brought in.
About 80% of Shanghai school leavers go to university compared to an overall average of 24% in China.
Meanwhile, dynamic Hong Kong was forced into educational improvements as its industries moved to cheaper mainland Chinese areas in the 1990s.Its survival as a service and management hub depends on upgrading knowledge and skills.
In the last decade Hong Kong has concentrated on closing the gap for all students, says a report by McKinsey management consultants.
The report, How the World’s Most Improved School Systems Keep Getting Better, rated Hong Kong’s education system among the best in the world.
【1】The World Bank’s survey about education mainly concentrates on .
A. what has made some education systems successful
B. China’s education system and competitive exams
C. how to relieve Chinese students of their heavy schoolwork
D. the relationship between education and economic development
【2】According to Harry Patrinos, the key to successful school systems is .
A. to give autonomy to all teachers to educate students freely in class
B. to let students attend after-school tutoring and do more exercises
C. to improve teachers’ abilities and give schools free performance right
D. to make school education directly serve the economy of the country
【3】We can learn from the text that .
A. the “key school” system is the key to many schools’ failure
B. students in Shanghai and Hong Kong work the hardest
C. Hong Kong’s educational performance isn’t as good as Shanghai’s
D. Shanghai and Hong Kong’s economic performance will improve
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the school systems of Shanghai
A. Negative. B. Positive.
C. Neutral. D. Critical.
