第二节(共10小题;每小题1. 5分, 满分15 分)
阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。 From the first day I arrived in Kunming, I had my understanding of China 61 (change). Far from being narrow-minded and hostile to 62 (foreign) ，people came up to talk to me the first time I went out on the street. It happened to be all in Chinese, so I didn’t understand much, 63 it did cause me to rethink my assumptions.
As my Chinese improved, this continued throughout my stay, from my landlord introducing me to people who could help us learn Chinese, to 64 (get)to know the couple who ran a noodle restaurant nearby.
If you’re interested in other people, their culture, and their language, they’ll be 65 (friend) to you. China isn’t 66 exception.
Don’t judge a country by its media coverage, 67 (especial) some Western media, which have much prejudice.
I saw a very different kind of China with my own eyes. Kunming, 68 I lived for most of my stay, wasn’t much polluted. I had frank conversations with Chinese people about almost everything.
Still China 69 (develop) ，but the economic growth means that most people 70 (see) their living standards improve rapidly in the last 20 years. People I spoke with were generally optimistic about the future.
