97、4题详解】考查代词。句意：学生们带着成就感回到学校，一种他们帮助了需要帮助的人的感觉。此处为同位语从句，从句中缺少主语，代指The students，所以用代词they。故填they。【45题详解】考查介词。句意：值得注意的是，一个社区遺受了这么大的灾难后仍然能够恢复，这给学生们留下了最深刻的印象。结合句意，表示“给留下深刻印象”短语为 leave an impression on sb. 故填on。第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分）第一节（满分15分）46. 假定你是李华，有位英国笔友 Peter Jenkins 将来你所在的城市旅游。因有急事，你无法去机场迎接，故请你校留学生 Mike 去
