Recently, I’ve found an increasing number of coffee shops that don’t offer Wi-Fi.I know what they’re trying to do.They want people to talk to each other without being consumed by technology.They want to stress the relational aspect of coffee shops and would rather hear many voices having deep discussions than see keyboards or eyes staring at a cell phone.However, their good intentions are often mistaken by consumers, me included.

One snowy day, a friend and I decided that it would be a great idea to go to a local coffee shop and get our work done there.We found a place that had unique coffee flavors and great reviews.It was a bit of a walk from where our subway dropped us off, but we thought it was worth it.

We walked through the snow and my feet were almost frostbitten (冻伤的) because the boots I wore were not warm as I had originally assumed.About 10 minutes later, we found the coffee shop and our blue lips were eagerly looking forward to that warm drink.As we walked up to the door, we saw the sign, “No Wi-Fi.” In anger, we looked at each other and said “Starbucks?”

Of course, this was a loss for them.They lost our business and the chance to make their relationship building task a reality.People who come to coffee shops to work do come to be on their computers, but they also go there so they can still have human interaction (互动).They want to work around other people, not in a room by themselves.What’s more, even if the shops don’t have Wi-Fi, people will still use their phones, unless all phone service is blocked out.So my friend and I spent the snowy day working together in the biggest chain coffee shop.We completed our task perfectly and that wasn’t the case in those coffee shops without Wi-Fi.

Therefore, there is no need to shut Wi-Fi to customers.With it, the shop will get more people and there’ll be more laughter and better relationships than before.

Don’t make us go to Starbucks for our next snowy day.

语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过自己的切身体会,表达了对咖啡店关闭Wi-Fi的看法。作者认为这样的做法是完全没必要的。

4.What is the purpose of many coffee shops’shutting Wi-Fi?

A.To keep people drinking coffee quietly.

B.To cut down the unnecessary expense.

C.To get people to communicate face to face.

D.To prevent people from disturbing others.

解析:选C细节理解题。根据第一段“They want people to talk to each other ...than see keyboards or eyes staring at a cell phone.”可知,许多咖啡店关闭Wi-Fi的目的是让顾客面对面交流。

5.What did the author and his friend plan to do on that snowy day?

A.Walk back home from work.

B.Finish their work at a coffee shop.

C.Find a warm place to have a good rest.

D.Express their anger to coffee shopkeepers.

解析:选B细节理解题。根据第二段“One snowy day, a friend and I decided that it would be a great idea to go to a local coffee shop and get our work done there.”可知,作者和朋友在那个下雪天想去当地一家咖啡店完成他们的工作。

6.The author thinks the coffee shop’s practice is wrong because the shopkeeper .

A.failed to block out all phone service

B.didn’t communicate with customers

C.didn’t offer computers to customers

D.caused inconvenience to customers

解析:选D推理判断题。根据第四段内容尤其是最后一句“We completed our task perfectly and that wasn’t the case in those coffee shops without Wi-Fi.”可推知,作者认为咖啡店关闭Wi-Fi的做法是错误的,因为店主们这样做给顾客带来了不便。

7.What’s the tone of the author’s writing this passage?

A.Persuasive. B.Encouraging.

C.Teasing. D.Praising.

解析:选A观点态度题。根据第五段“Therefore, there is no need to shut Wi-Fi to customers.”及最后一段可知,作者通过自己的切身体会表达了自己对咖啡店关闭Wi-Fi的看法。他认为这是完全没有必要的举措。他希望下次下雪时不要再让他们(选择)去星巴克了。由此可以推断,作者写这篇文章的语气是劝说性的。

C

AT&T started its “It Can Wait” campaign against texting while driving in 2010.They call on all drivers to sign up for a 21-Day pledge (保证) — a pledge to not text and drive.Since then, research suggests there has been a connection between the campaign activities and a reduction in crashes.Almost half of the people who

have made pledges say they now don’t use their smartphones while driving.

However, AT&T has found that even though nearly 99 percent of drivers understand that texting while driving is dangerous, nearly 70 percent do it anyway.Some say they do it because they think they’re better at multitasking than others.Some say they only use their phones at red lights, or they only quickly glance at their phones sometimes.Others say they’re trying to stop, but believe that distracted (注意力不集中的) driving is even “addictive”.

Over the years, we have found some effective ways to deal with distracted driving.One is to use user-friendly tools to help drivers resist the urge to glance at their phones while behind the wheel.Countless hands-free devices (装置) and Bluetooth speakers combined with a mobile app will, when active, automatically block incoming notifications sensing that the car is in motion.With the right devices, drivers can stay connected without taking their eyes off the road.

The second way is really important.AT&T’s studies found that most smartphone users have a significant amount of their interactions with just five people.They also found that more than 80 percent of drivers said they would immediately stop using their phone while driving if a loved one or someone in their top friends list asked them to.We urge everyone to act on this information.

Distracted driving is a bad habit, and bad habits are tough to break.But if we work together — and keep communicating our concerns with the people we love — we can make a difference.

语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了两种约束不专心驾驶行为的方法,并且分析了司机明知注意力不集中有危险,还去接电话的心理原因,建议人们要与自己所爱的人多沟通,帮助他们摒弃这一陋习。

8.What can we infer about the “It Can Wait” campaign?

A.It aims to end aggressive driving.

B.It provides help for drivers in emergencies.

C.It works well in reducing road accidents.

D.It makes efforts to improve road conditions.

解析:选C细节理解题。由第一段中的“research suggests there has been a connection ...while driving”可知,“It Can Wait”运动在减少交通事故方面起到了一定的作用。由第一段第一句“AT&T started its ‘It Can Wait’campaign against texting while driving in 2010.”可知,这项运动旨在减少人们边开车边发短信的做法。

9.Distracted driving is still at a high level because of .

A.high pressure from daily life

B.the side effects of drugs

C.lack of strict traffic laws

D.drivers’attitude problems

解析:选D细节理解题。由第二段中的“Some say they do it because they think they’re better at multitasking than others ...is even ‘addictive’.”可知,AT&T的研究发现,将近70%的人仍然边开车边

发短信,他们这样做是因为态度问题。

10.How do hands-free devices with an app help drivers?

A.By reminding them to call later.

B.By preventing the incoming calls.

C.By telling callers to leave a message.

D.By warning them of the possible danger.

解析:选B细节理解题。由第三段中的“combined with a mobile app will, when active, automatically block incoming notifications sensing that the car is in motion”可知,这些工具如果被激活,能自动感应到汽车在行驶,阻止来电通知。

11.What suggestion is made to deal with distracted driving in Paragraph 4?

A.Use the power of public opinion.

B.Educate drivers to learn self-control.

C.Communicate more with safe drivers.

D.Let people close to drivers remind them.

解析:选D推理判断题。根据第四段中提到的第二种方法可知,大多数司机愿意听从他们所爱的人或关系最亲密的人的建议,故建议利用司机最亲密的人对他的影响来减少不专心驾驶现象。

D

Shanghai leads the mainland in an international standardized (标准化的) test of English language level, according to the British Council’s white paper on mainland test takers’IELTS performance.The white paper shows people on Chinese mainland have been making progress in their ability to listen, read, write and speak English in the past five years.

People who took the IELTS Academic test showed the least progress in

speaking English.The test takers’total score from the four-part test is below the world average, with the largest gap in the speaking test.The white paper also showed mixed development of English skills in various areas on the

mainland.Shanghai, which achieved respective (分别的) average scores of 5.87 points and 5.95 points in the academic and training tests, led the mainland in the listening, speaking, reading and writing tests.Shanghai’s universities and high schools also had the best results.

Barry O’Sullivan, head of assessment research and development at the British Council, said Shanghai stood out against the other provinces because it is an international city, where students have a better environment and stronger motivation (动力) to learn and use English.The average score of Shanghai test takers in reading is higher than the world average, and their listening and writing scores are equal to the world average.But Shanghai test takers’speaking score is not so good as the other three.

The city’s Fudan University topped other universities on the mainland with the highest average IELTS scores. Fudan students’reading, listening and writing scores exceeded (超过) the world average but their

speaking scores were below it.According to the white paper, all test takers said self-motivation was the most important factor for them, while those with IELTS scores higher than 7 points thought their high school teachers played an important role.

The white paper also found that the English educators on the mainland who had mixed abilities in reading, writing, listening and speaking were weakest in speaking English. Chinese authorities are working to deal with these issues.For example, they have released the Chinese Standards of English which outlines English students’abilities at nine levels.

语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。英国文化教育协会发布全球首部中国内地地区雅思考试官方白皮书,上海市雅思考生听说读写能力均居中国内地之首。

12.Which kind of ability of the mainland students needs to be improved urgently?

A.The ability of listening. B.The ability of speaking.

C.The ability of reading. D.The ability of writing.

解析:选B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“People who took the IELTS Academic test showed ...with the largest gap in the speaking test.”可知,参加雅思学术考试的人在口语考试中的进步最小。考生在四项考试中的总成绩低于世界平均水平,口语考试与世界平均分的差距最大。由此可知,中国内地考生在口语能力方面急需加强。

13.Which of the situations of the IELTS test on the mainland is correct?

A.The highest average score of the academic test among all provinces is 5.87 points.

B.Test takers in Shanghai have the best scores in the world.

C.There is no big gap between Shanghai and other provinces in IELTS test scores.

D.Mainland test takers score higher than most countries’in the world.

解析:选A细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Shanghai, which achieved ...and writing tests.”可知,上海市的学术类雅思分数是5.87分,培训类雅思分数是5.95,在听说读写四项考试中领先全国。由此可知,上海市的雅思平均分数是全国最高的,因此5.87分是全国各省中学术类雅思考试的最高的平均分数。

14.According to the passage, English skills might be greatly affected by .

A.one’s motivation to go abroad

B.one’s attitude to the test

C.the level of education one receives

D.the overall social environment one lives in

解析:选D推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Shanghai stood out against the other provinces ...to learn and use English.”可知,上海市领先于其他省份是因为它是一座国际化都市,那里的学生有更好的语言环境和更强的动力去学习和使用英语。由此可推知,社会环境对于一个人的英语能力有很大影响。

15.It can be inferred from the passage that .

A.students in Fudan University have the best self-motivation

B.the speaking test is the most difficult one among the four tests in IELTS

C.the scores of IELTS are much influenced by high school education

D.the level of Chinese students’English ability is above the world average

解析:选C推理判断题。根据第四段中的“According to the white paper ...played an important role.”可知,根据白皮书中的信息,所有考生都说自我鼓励对他们来说是最重要的因素,而那些雅思成绩高于7分的考生认为他们的高中老师扮演了很重要的角色。由此可推知,高中教育对雅思成绩影响很大。

Ⅱ.阅读七选五

As parents, sometimes it may feel like all your kids do is sit in front of a screen. 16 If we’re realistic, that’s probably not going to happen.But if you keep things properly managed, screen time can be beneficial.

?Acknowledge that screens aren’t all bad.

17 Watching television or playing games on the computer can be fun, entertaining and a good way to relax.There are also many programs, games and apps that are educational and your children will likely have some homework to do on a computer.

?18

While screens can be beneficial, if your kids spend too much time in front of them they will miss out on other activities.Things like playing outdoors, reading and doing sports are extremely important for balance. Face-to-face communication with family and friends teaches valuable social skills — something that can’t be learnt via social media.

?Educate yourself.

To strike the right screen time balance for your house, start by learning what technology is around, what it’s best used for and for the ages it’s appropriate. 19 Other parents might be able to offer some insight (见解) too.

?Set limits for your kids and yourself.

It’s a good idea to put some rules in place around screen time.Let your kids know how they are allowed to use screens — what for, when and for how long. 20 They’ll be more receptive to the rules if they’ve had input.Of course, let the screen-time limits you set for your kids be a guide for yourself as well.

A.Don’t let screens take over.

B.Manage your family’s screen time.

C.Y ou can do your own research or talk to your kids about it.

D.Discuss these rules as a family so your kids can have a say too.

E.Children and teenagers can benefit from age-appropriate technology.

F.You might even feel like you want to ban screens from your home altogether.

G.If you’re eating dinner, set the work emails aside and chat about your day as a family.

语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在家庭中管理“屏幕时间”的方法。

16.选F根据本空前面的“feel like”可知F项“你甚至会想要在家里禁止一切屏幕设备”符合语境。本空后面一句中的that指代F项中的“ban screens from your home altogether”。

17.选E本段主要介绍了看电视或使用电脑等屏幕设备的好处,再结合小标题“Acknowledge that screens aren’t all bad.”可知,E项“孩子们和青少年可以从适合其年龄段的科技设备中获益”符合语境。

18.选A本段主要介绍了过多地使用屏幕设备的弊端,故用A项“不要被屏幕设备所左右”作小标题最符合本段的主旨。

19.选C根据本段的小标题“Educate yourself.”可知C项“你可以自己作研究或和孩子们谈谈”符合语境,本空与其后面一句“别的父母也可能会提供一些他们的见解”是并列关系。

20.选D根据本空前面的“some rules”和后面的“the rules”可知D项“全家人都来讨论这些规则,这样你的孩子们也有机会发表他们的观点”符合语境。本空后面一句“如果他们参与了制定这些规则,他们会更容易接受”是对该句的解释说明。

高考英语阅读理解训练50篇

阅读理解训练50篇(1) 1 Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell.But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hor- mones (荷尔蒙).They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etC.In general the person feels excited and ready to act. Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.” Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger. 1.“Damaging emotion” means t hat _________. A.the emotion is harmless B.the emotion is harmful C.the feeling is very strong D.the feeling is hard 2.What statement is right? A.Were you angry, you would be cancered (得癌症).

(英语)高三英语阅读理解解析版汇编

(英语)高三英语阅读理解解析版汇编 一、高中英语阅读理解 1.阅读理解 In America, parents tend to encourage their children to develop their potential (潜能) to the fullest extent. Fathers and mothers frequently teach their children both ambition and the confidence necessary to work toward their goals. American parents are always active in concentrating on what their kids can do, not what they can't. As a result, millions of American boys and girls grow up hoping to become actors and athletes, diplomats and doctors. Many of them even want to become president. American parents often encourage their children to become involved in extra activities of all types at school, such as student government, sports and music. They believe that only through taking part in these activities can their children become mature young adults. As we all know, school work is important. But parents should realize that the social skills their children learn from natural conversations with each other are as important as schoolwork and the skills they will need in the future work. What's more important in their work is that their children should have a sound knowledge of physics or the ability to communicate effectively. As a rule, Chinese parents don't educate their children about the same kind of ambition and confidence as Americans do, nor do they encourage the same level of participation in extra activities. Children are typically advised to study hard and pass exams. They have to spend a lot of time in doing much schoolwork every day. It is a great waste of time to do so. Now more and more Chinese parents have recognized that they should pay attention to developing the potential of their children. I hope that leaders in Chinese educational circles should take some measures to develop the potential of their children. I am very confident about it. (1)From the passage, we know the American parents pay much more attention to . A. the social skills than Chinese parents B. their children's studying hard and well C. what their children want but they can't D. extra activities than schoolwork (2)According to the passage, Chinese parents . A. know more than American parents to educate their children B. owning ambition and confidence is necessary and important C. pay much more attention to their children's fine future D. don't encourage their children to participate in extra activities (3)From the passage, we can infer . A. American children are brave and adventurous B. American children are more active in their studies C. Chinese children have the ability to communicate effectively D. something should be done to develop the potential of the children in China (4)What's the writer's attitude towards Chinese education reform? A. Neutral. B. Indifferent. C. Positive. D. Negative. 【答案】(1)A

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1.阅读理解 Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world. Westerners' understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage(针灸,拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U. S. swimmer Michael Phelps,back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016. As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs. Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients (原材料) jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs. Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time. (1)Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps? A. Because he was injured in his swimming. B. Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment. C. Because westerners know a little about TCM. D. Because westerners attach great importance to TCM. (2)Why don't some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine? A. Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases. B. Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture. C. Because Western medicine is more effective. D. Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly. (3)Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4? A. The methods of planting herbs. B. The effectiveness of prescription. C. Lacking in standardization. D. Its stable functions.

高三英语阅读理解(带详解)

I watched from a distance as the homeless man quarreled with those who did not leave money for him – the majority. I walked up to him and right on queue he asked me for a quarter. ―I’ll give you a quarter if you tell me your story.‖ He laughed, ―You’ll give me a quarter for my story?‖ I lay the quarter in front of him and corrected myself –―Nah, here’s the quarter but it would be nice to hear your story.‖ I followed his eyes to the quarter and for a brief moment I saw a glimmer of reflection. I sat down next to him and waited. ―I was in the army,‖ he said. ―I was a sniper(狙击手)and was supposed to shoot down the enemy from the distance.‖ I listened carefully to his grizzly voice as he went deeper into the story. He wore dirty old torn clothes and smelled like a dead rat left in a mouse trap. He told me how he used to hunt with his family and was really good at it. He had his own way of respecting animals by not wasting what he killed for food and not killing more than he needed. When the army came knocking on his door, he felt pride and joined up. All those years of polishing his hunting skills could now serve a larger purpose—to defend us from the bad guys. He set out to fight in Iraq. It wasn’t long before he realized his ideals and expectations were just a shadow of the truth. He became disillusioned with the killings, which he felt were of innocent people. ―I was a sniper but I never really killed anyone,‖ he said. ―One day I had to do it. They asked me to shoot this lady from the distance. I saw kids near that lady and my hands were on the trigger (扳机). Man, I was tearing up ... I couldn’t do it. She wasn’t doing anything to anyone and she was with the kids—I couldn’t see through my tears. It just didn’t make any sense to me.‖ The story goes on as he describes eventually being put into prison for 180 days for refusing to follow orders. He told me how he was black listed so that he couldn’t get a job. All the rights we take for granted were taken away from him. Why? Here was a man who was being punished—and for what? For refusing to kill the lady? For being a hero? ―I have no regrets,‖ the homeless man said. ―I may be homeless now, but I never killed that lady. I never killed anyone in the army. It didn’t feel right. I didn’t go there to do that. I went there to save people.‖ He continued, ―I can live with being homeless—that’s okay. But I wouldn’t be able to live with killing innocent people.‖ On that lonely Friday night, I met a hero. It just never occurred to me that a hero could be a smelly old man left on streets. 1. It can be learned from the passage that the homeless man_______. () A. never killed animals B. had a strong respect for life C. deserved the punishment he received D. felt guilty about disobeying the order

For her drive and creativity in overcoming those challenges,she’s been named national teacher of the year. Principal Waynes Kettler said he’s worked with many outstanding teachers in his22years as an educator,but Peterson is“just that one step above anybody I’ve ever worked with before.” Kettler and others at Monte Cristo Elementary School talk about the ways she has introduced the learning from other classrooms into her music program and her creativity in working around things such as the lack of money for new music. When students were reading S.E.Hinton’s novel The Outsiders in their regular classroom, Peterson helped them write a30-minute play with scenes from the book.Then they chose three Broadway tunes that focused no race,equality and social justice,the themes of the book.Peterson composed two other songs herself after classroom discussions about the play and the book. The honor means a lot to residents of Granite Foils.It’s inspiring to know that people from small towns own even win national honors. As national teacher of the year,Peterson will spend the next year outside the classroom, as a national and international spokeswoman for education. Not surprisingly,She is a big believe in the value of arts education.She said it’s essential for schools to offer classes such as art or music and physical education because for some kids one of those subjects is the only thing that motivates them to come back to school day after day. 65.The underlined word“daunting”in Paragraph1most probably means__________. A. discouraging B.interesting C.creative D.unbearable

高考英语阅读理解练习题及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1.阅读理解 I was born on the 17th of November 1828, in the village of Nam Ping, which is about four miles southwest of the Portuguese Colony (殖民地) of Macao, and is located on Pedro Island lying west of Macao, from which it is separated by a channel of half a mile wide. As early as 1834, an English lady, Mrs. Gutzlaff, wife of a missionary to China, came to Macao. Supported by the Ladies' Association in London for the promotion of female education in India and the East, she immediately took up the work of starting a girls' school for Chinese girls, which was soon followed by the opening of a boys' school. Mrs. Gutzlaff's comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father's friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff's school and it was doubtlessly through his influence and means that my father got me admitted into the school. It has always been a mystery to me why my parents should put me into a foreign school, instead of a traditional Confucian school, where my big brother was placed. Most certainly such a step would have been more suitable for Chinese public opinion, taste, and the wants of the country, than to allow me to attend an English school. Moreover, a Chinese belief is the only avenue in China that leads to political promotion, influence, power and wealth. I can only guess that as foreign communication with China was just beginning to grow, my parents hoped that it might be worthwhile to put one of their sons to learning English. In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous position to enter the business and diplomatic world. I am wondering if that influenced my parents to put me into Mrs. Gutzlaff's School. As to what other sequences it has eventually brought about in my later life, they were entirely left in the hands of God. (1)How was the author admitted to Mrs. Gutzlaff's school? A. Through his father's friend's help. B. Through his own efforts to exams. C. Through his father's request. D. Through Mrs. Gutzlaff's influence. (2)Why did the author's parents put him into an English school? A. An English school was more influential. B. Foreign trade with China was developing fast. C. It met with Chinese public opinion. D. He could become a successful interpreter. (3)What did the author think of his parents' decision to put him into an English school? A. It was skeptical. B. It was mysterious. C. It was thoughtful. D. It was wonderful.【答案】(1)A (2)D (3)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,小时候父亲送作者去英语学校而不是中文学校,并分析了具体原因。 (1)考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Mrs. Gutzlaff's comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father's friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff's school”可知,作者是通过父亲朋友的帮助进入到Mrs.
