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
