五、阅读理解
The first big wave of Chinese immigration to America came when gold was discovered in California in 1848.The Chinese called the new land “Mountain of Gold”．Those who did not become miners found work in railroad construction，farming and light industries，doing low-paid jobs.By the 1880s，American industrialization brought changing economic realities，resulting in an explosion of resentment(仇恨) toward the Chinese laborers.They were accused of taking jobs away from the white men.The government issued Exclusion Acts(《排外法案》) to stop the immigration of Chinese laborers into the United States.Many workers fled from the concentrated Chinese communities in the West and then went to the Mid-west and the East.As in California，they formed small pockets of Chinese culture that were known as “Chinatowns”．New York's Chinatown was created by men such as the Chinese laborers.Sociologists call them “sojourners”—foreigners in the United States，keeping to their cultural traditions，living in the larger society in which they existed.The sojourners came to America for the promise of supporting his family in China，where he expected to return one day.Those who did stay lived separately from the society.So they remained in Chinatown，an enclosed community holding on to traditions among the tides of change.

三、1.A考查强调句型。

句意：——你看过《山楂树之恋》这部电影吗？——当然了，我看过。

这部电影就是在我们村拍摄的。

根据句意和句子结构可知in our village 在句中作状语，故用that 构成强调句型。

2.D由于本句中出现并列连词but，所以此处不是考查定语从句，排除A项和B项；most表示“大多数”时，其前不加定冠词the，排除C项；majority表示“大多数”时，常与定冠词the连用。

3.B in spite of＝despite，是介词，不能接过去分词作宾语；apart from也是介词，含义是“除了……之外”；though是连词，含义是“虽然，尽管”，当其引导的从句中的主语与主句主语一致，且从句中含有be动词时，可把从句的主语及be动词省略，本句中省略了it was。

4. B progress“进步”，boom“(人口、贸易的)繁荣”；increase“增加”；advance“进步，前进”。

此处表示中国在科技发展方面的繁荣，应选boom。

5.D句意：据说一些中国电影明星在好莱坞一开始不得不通过唱歌找一份工作。

by means of后加动名词，表示通过某种手段；as well as“和”；in front of“在……的前面”；besides“除了……之外”。

6.C句意：这个公司的大多数员工都是大学毕业生。

percentage “百分比”，后接复数名词时，谓语动词用复数形式。

四、1. mean→means 2. lived后加on 3. off→up 4. Made→Making 5. finished 前加have
五、1.A词义理解题。

从The government...的宾语Exclusion Acts(《排外法案》)和不定式“to stop the immigration of Chinese laborers into the United States”看出此处表示出台一项法案。

bring out“使显示，出版，生产”。

2．A推理判断题。

由第一段中的“Many workers fled from the concentrated Chinese communities in the West and then went to the Mid­west and the East.”推出在法案公布之前，他们大多数住在西部。

3．D细节理解题。

由第一段最后一句“As in California，they formed small pockets of Chinese culture that were known as ‘Chinatowns’．”看出他们在加州建立了自己的文化区域。

4．C细节理解题。

由第二段第二句中的“...foreigners in the United States，keeping to their cultural traditions，living in the larger society in which they existed.”看出他们继续保持自己的传统。

5．D主旨大意题。

从第一段的最后一句和第二段看出本文是在讨论Chinatowns的形成。
