Mrs Phan-Gillis, a naturalised American born in Vietnam, was detained in March, during a trade visit to promote the Texan city of Houston. Sandy Phan-Gilliss husband Jeff Gillis says she is now being moved to a more secure facility. Chinas Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said on Tuesday that Mrs. Phan-Gillis was suspected of carrying out activities endangering national security, and is currently being investigated by relevant departments.We hope that the outside world will respect Chinas handling of this case according to law, he added. Mrs Phan-Gillis was president of the Houston Shenzhen Sister City Association and consulted for Chinese and US businesses. One of her colleages in the trip told the BBC there was nothing out of the ordinary about the trip but described the sequence of events as they left China as bizarre. They had been travelling around China for about a week when the group went through immigration control at the border between Guangdong and Macau, in Zhuhai, on 19 March. The group became separated, regrouping on the other side - without Mrs Phan-Gillis.After returning to Houston several days later, Mr Gillis told them that the US consulate had informed him his wife had been detained, accused of stealing state secrets. Her family vigorously deny the accusations, which they say have never been properly explained. Since then, consular officials have been able to visit Mrs Phan-Gillis periodically, to check up on her health, which her husband says is poor, and to pass on messages. The US embassy in Beijing would not comment on the story and referred the BBC to the US Department of State in Washington, which was closed at the time of enquiry.1.

A consultant for Chinese and US businesses of the Houston Shenzhen Sister City Association D. An American who has been held by Chinese government.2. What is the attitude of Chinas authorities toward this issue?A. Mrs Phan-Gillis is guilty of stealing Chinas state secrets.B. They do not confirm the investigation of Mrs Phan-GillisC. Whether Mrs Phan-Gillis is guilty or not is still under investigation.D. They are expecting other countries intervene.3. What is the American governments reaction to this event?A. positiveB. negativeC. unclear D. neutral4. What can we infer from the passage?A. The family of Mrs Phan-Gillis think she is innocent.B. The Chinese relevant governments are using some illegal methods to get things done.C. Mrs Phan-Gillis have been to China for many times. D. Mrs Phan-Gillis was detained during a trade visit to promote the Texan city of Houston.参考答案14、DCCA 阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。I got my first drivers license(执照)in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Two weeks before my 20th birthday, Henry drove me to the motor vehicle office on a hot July afternoon. When I got to the office and showed to the man behind the counter my North Carolina drivers license, ready to renew, the man told me that I was under age by Maryland law since I was not yet 21. “Mr. Henry Smith, your husband, will have to sign for you,” he said.I argued, pointing to a very large belly(肚子)of mine,” I am married. I am having a baby. Why should I have to have someone sign for me to drive?” He answered coldly, “Its the law, madam?” Henry encouraged me to calm down, just go ahead and get the license and be done with it “No.” I said.

The Center for Education Reform says the United States has 67 public “cyber schools.” and that is about twice as many as two years ago. The money for students to attend a cyber school comes from the governments of the states where they live. Some educators say cyber schools receive money that should support traditional public schools. They also say it is difficult to know if students are learning well.Other educators praise this new form of education for letting students work at their own speed. These people say cyber schools help students who were unhappy or unsuccessful in traditional schools. They say learning at home by computer ends long bus rides for children who live far from school.Whatever the judgment of cyber schools, they are getting more and more popular. For example, a new cyber school called Commonwealth Connections Academy will take in students this fall. It will serve children in the state of Pennsylvania from ages five through thirteen.Children get free equipment for their online education. This includes a computer, a printer, books and technical services. Parents and students talk with teachers by telephone or by sending emails through their computers when necessary.Students at cyber schools usually do not know one another.
