Directions:
Read
the
following
passage.
Each
passage
is
followed
by
several
questions.
For
each
of
them
there
are
four
choices
marked
A.
B,
C
and
D.
Choose
the one that fits
best according to the passage you have just read.
(A)
To
Chinese
immigrants,
in
the
mid-
1800s,
California
was
“The
Land
of
the
Golden
Mountain.”
In
their
homeland
they
had
heard
the
words,
“There’s
gold
in
California.” They sailed 7,000miles to
join the gold rush and strike it rich.
Between 1849 and
1882, more
than 30,000 Chinese
came to
California. Most were men.
They
had
been
farmers
in
China.
They
came
here
to
be
miners
and
laborers.
They
ended
up
doing many other jobs, too.
Like many
other immigrants, they did not plan to stay in
America. They came
because of their
ties
to their homeland and
their families.
They
planned
to return
to China with their fortunes
and help their families.
Only a few
Chinese gold miners struck it rich. Most picked
over the areas that
had
been
mined
already.
But
still,
white
miners
resented
the
Chinese.
Slowly,
they
drove the “yellow peril” from the
mining camps.
By
the
end
of
the
1850s,
many
Chinese
returned
home.
Those
who
stayed
found
other
jobs.
Few
women
had
come
west
in
the
gold
rush.
The
Chinese
saw
a
good
business
opportunity.
They began
doing the jobs women would have done. Many became
house servants. Many
more opened
laundries.
13
The
Chinese
opened
restaurants.
Chop
suey
and
show
mein
are
popular
Chinese-American
dishes.
The
Chinese
probably
created
these
dishes
to
serve
to
the
white
miners. Other Chinese became fishermen, farmers,
and even cigar makers.
【小题

America in the mid-1800s?

D. Because they heard there was

My father
was Chief engineer of a merchant ship, which was
sunk in World War
II. The book
Night of the U-boats told the story.
Memories
In
September,
1940,
my
mother,
sister
and
I
went
to
Swansea,
where
my
father’
s
ship was getting ready to sail. We
brought him a family photograph to be kept with
him at all times and keep him sail.
Then
I
remember
my
mother
lying
face
down,
sobbing.
She
had
heard
from
a
friend
that the ship had been sunk by a
torpedo(
鱼雷
).
I can remember the arrival of the
telegram(
电报
),which in those
days always
brought bad news. My grand-
mother opened it. It read, “Safe, Love
Ted.”
My
most
vivid
memory
is
being
woken
and
brought
down
to
sit
on
my
father’s
knee,
his arm in a bandage.
He was judged unfit to return to sea
and took a shore job in Glasgow for the
rest of the war. For as long as I can
remember, he had a weak heart. Mother said
it
was
caused
by
the
torpedoes.
He
said
it
was
because
of
the
cigarettes.
Whichever,
he died suddenly
in his early 50s.
Ten
years
later
I
read
Night
of
the
U-boats
and
was
able
to
complete
the
story.
Torpedo
One torpedo struck the ship. Father was
in the engine room, where the third
engineer
was
killed.
He
shut
down
the
engines
to
slow
the
ship
making
it
easier
for
it to
be abandoned.
By the time
he got on deck (
甲板
) he was
alone. Every lifeboat was gone except
one which had stuck firm. When he tried
to cut it free it swung against the ship,
injuring his hand and arm. He had no
choice but to jump
—
still
with the photograph
in his pocket.
Three days later, he and
other survivors were safe in Glasgow. All 23 with
him
signed the back of the photograph.
In
my
room
is
the
book
and
the
photograph.
Often,
glass
in
hand,
I
have
wondered
how I would have dealt with an
explosion, a sinking ship, a jump into a vast
ocean
