【passage 11】
①American Brian Linden first came to China at the end of August 1984.That month of this year, the 61-year-old man visited his hometown, Chicago. But wherever he is, Linden always holds China in his heart as his “spiritual homeland”.
②His plans for September were to deliver lectures with a focus on China, before returning to Xizhou town in Dali, Yunnan to oversee the operation of the Linden Center-his namesake hotel brand and cultural exchange center founded in 2008. “The initial intention behind establishing the Linden Center was to build a bridge for cultural exchanges between China and the world,”says Linden.“What China has accomplished in 40 years is a miracle. I want to tell a better story of China to the world.”
③Before coming to China, he was a part-time night school college student, who cleaned carpets for a living. One day, he went to clean the carpet of an instructor who had just returned from China.He was captivated by the teacher's amazing stories about China. Soon after, he saw a poster announcing scholarships to study overseas in China and applied.“It changed my life,”he says.
④While undertaking graduate studies at Nanjing University, he met his wife Jeanee, a Chinese-American woman. The couple took train journeys across the country with their sons,not only exploring China's beautiful landscapes but also feeling the people's warmth and kindness.China has given so much to Linden that he, in turn, wanted to contribute to China's growth and promote the country to the outside world.
⑤Linden's team transformed the courtyard into a hotel according to the principle of “preserving the old as it was”,conserving the ethnic Bai architecture,layout(布局),and wooden carvings. International visitors not only booked guestrooms at the center but also explored the surrounding Bai villages under the guidance of its staff. Linden hopes to go beyond enhancing global understanding of China in general to boosting people-to-people exchanges with the US in particular.

主旨题解题步骤(首尾段,段中,转折处)
做主旨大意题我们要注意:
主旨大意题的干扰项往往采取“打擦边球”的方法来对考生进行思维干扰:以偏概全、夸大事实,或者指鹿为马。
两种提问方式都是对文章信息的高度概括,都要求语言的简洁和凝练。
【全文翻译】
1984年8月底,美国人布赖恩·林登第一次来到中国。今年的那个月,这位61岁的老人回到了他的家乡芝加哥。但无论身在何处,林登始终把中国作为自己的“精神家园”。
9月份,他的计划是做一场以中国为主题的演讲,然后回到云南大理喜洲镇,监督林登中心的运营。林登中心是他的同名酒店品牌,也是2008年成立的文化交流中心。林登说:“建立林登中心的初衷是为中国与世界的文化交流搭建一座桥梁。”“中国在40年里取得的成就是一个奇迹。我想向世界讲述一个更好的中国故事。”
来中国之前,他是一名夜校的兼职大学生,以打扫地毯为生。一天,他去给一位刚从中国回来的教练擦地毯。他被老师讲的关于中国的惊人故事迷住了。不久之后,他看到了一张宣传中国留学奖学金的海报,便提出了申请。“它改变了我的生活,”他说。
在南京大学读研究生期间,他遇到了他的妻子珍妮,一位美籍华人。这对夫妇带着他们的儿子坐火车周游全国,不仅探索了中国美丽的风景,也感受了人们的温暖和善良。中国给了林登这么多,因此他也想为中国的发展做出贡献,并向外界宣传中国。
⑤林登的团队按照“保持原样”的原则,将庭院改造成酒店,保留了白族建筑、布局(布局)和木雕。国际游客不仅预订了该中心的客房,还在工作人员的指导下探索了周围的白族村庄。林登希望不仅能增进全球对中国的了解,还能促进中美两国人民之间的交流。
【passage 12】
①It was a sunny afternoon in June of 2022 when 20-year-old Anthony Perry stepped off the train at Chicago’s 69th Street station. On the platform, two men were fighting bitterly. Then the unthinkable happened: the pair fell over the edge and onto the tracks. One man ended up on his back. Suddenly, he started convulsing (抽搐) unnaturally. He had fallen on the third rail, the conduit (导线管) for the 600 volts of electricity that powers Chicago’s L trains. The aggressor leaped backward, bounded back up onto the platform and disappeared.
②Perry couldn’t just stand there and watch. He sat at the edge of the platform and eased himself down. He took a few quick bounds and approached the victim. The guy looked dead, his body still moving violently as the electricity pulsed (搏动). Gathering up his courage, Perry reached down and grasped the victim’s wrist. Instantly, he felt a blast of electric shock shoot through his body. Perry shrank and jumped back. He reached down a second time, and was shocked again. But the third time he seized the man’s wrist and forearm and, braving the shock, pulled with all his strength. The guy’s body slid briefly along the third rail, coming to rest on the gravel on the outer edge of the tracks.
③The man was breathing, but irregularly. Something wasn’t right. “Give him chest compression (按压)!” yelled a woman. Perry was no expert, but for a few moments he worked on the man’s heart until the victim began convulsing. Then he heard a sudden noise behind him—medical workers and firefighters had arrived. Perry let the professionals take over. His heart still racing from the electric shocks, he climbed back up onto the platform, grabbed his things and headed home.
④The evening news reported the incident. After a friend outed him to the media, Perry became the toast of Chicago. Perry was then recruited by the Chicago Fire Department and is now training to be an emergency medical technician.

【全文翻译】
2022年6月,一个阳光明媚的下午,20岁的安东尼·佩里在芝加哥第69街站下了火车。在站台上,两个人正在激烈地打斗。然后,不可思议的事情发生了:两人从边缘掉到了铁轨上。一个人倒地而死。突然,他开始不自然地抽搐(抽搐)。他摔在了第三根铁轨上,那是为芝加哥L型列车提供600伏电力的管道(导线管)。侵略者向后一跳,又跳上平台,消失了。
佩里不能只是站在那里看。他坐在月台边上,慢慢地坐下来。他快速地跳了几下,向受害者靠近。这家伙看起来已经死了,他的身体在电脉冲时仍然剧烈地移动(搏动)。佩里鼓起勇气,伸手抓住了受害者的手腕。瞬间,他感到一阵电击穿过他的身体。佩里畏缩了一下,跳了回去。他又把手伸下去,又被吓了一跳。但第三次,他抓住那个人的手腕和前臂,冒着震动,用尽全身力气拉。那人的身体沿着第三根铁轨滑了一会儿,停在轨道外缘的砾石上。
那人在呼吸,但不规律。有些地方不对劲。“给他胸部按压(按压)!”一个女人喊道。佩里不是专家,但他在这个人的心脏上工作了一会儿,直到受害者开始抽搐。突然,他听到身后传来一阵响声——医护人员和消防队员已经赶到了。佩里让专业人士接手。他的心脏还在因为电击而加速跳动,他爬上平台,抓起自己的东西朝家走去。
晚间新闻报道了这一事件。在一位朋友向媒体透露了他的身份后,佩里成了芝加哥的红人。佩里随后被芝加哥消防局招募,现在正在接受紧急医疗技术人员的培训。
