The warlord government of the day had ________ struck a deal with the Japanese, offering the German colonies in return for financial support. The Allies, ________, acknowledged Japan’s territorial claims in China. When it became known in China in April 1919 that the negotiations over the Treaty of Versailles（凡尔赛条约）would not ________ China’s claims, it gave rise to a movement that might be considered even more revolutionary than the one that ended the Empire.
In the course of this May Fourth Movement, some 5,000 students from Peking University hit the streets to ________ the Versailles Treaty. But more was at stake than Japan’s grabbing of land. When one considers the 1911 Revolution as a mere regime（政体）change, it become clear that the numerous popular demands for modernization had not been satisfied yet.
The May Fourth Movement was part cultural revolution, part _______ movement. On the cultural side , the students had been inspired in the preceding two decades by Western thought, creating a feeling of frustration and _______ with Chinese tradition. In the intellectual ferment（酝酿/骚动）that resulted from this, answers were sought for the questions why and how China had lagged behind the West. The negative influences of traditional morality, the clan（宗族）system and Confucianism were seen as the main causes. China in its shaky state could only be cured by “Two Doctors”: Doctor Science（赛先生）and Doctor Democracy（德先生）.
At the same time, intellectuals untied in the New Culture Movement attempted to make Chinese culture more ________ to social groups beyond the traditional scholar-officials. To this end, they advocated a Literary Revolution, in which wenyan, the ossified（僵化的）system of ________ language, was to be replaced by a system based on conversational language, the so-called baihua. Hu Shi is one of the scholars who ________ with this movement, and meanwhile Lu Xun is seen as one of the most productive practitioners of this type of writing that came into _______ in the 1920s.
The social aspects of May Fourth consisted of attempts to free the Chinese woman, although this was often limited to movements to bring foot-binding to a halt. Nonetheless, in the cities newly ________ women, modern girls who had been educated, became a loud voice for further changes.
May Fourth is seen as a critical _______ for the founding of the Chinese Communist Party. Before 1919, there was hardly any interest in what was happening in Russia. After May Fourth, Marxism was seen as a _______ revolutionary ideology for a predominantly agricultural society such as China still was.
Even today, May Fourth functions as a point of _______ for China. The Party may interpret the events of 1919 as being brought about by its earliest members, and it may turn Lu Xun into the Marxist writer he would refuse to be, but the fact ________ that May Fourth truly set China on its revolutionary path.

Since the end of World War I(WWI) in 1918, Canadians, and millions of others around the world have paused at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month to honour the sacrifice our soldiers have made in different ways, fighting for the freedoms that we all enjoy today.
Known as Remembrance Day, the day originated as a tribute to the soldiers of WWI, a dark period for our young country, which claimed the lives of over 60,000 military personnel and civilians and over 16 million dead worldwide. As there are no more surviving soldiers of WWI, today we rely on the wisdom and words of those soldiers who fought in the wars that followed and this day now also recognizes their heroic contribution. They tell us to always remember what those brave souls fought for, and all they ask in return is that we never forget.
That’s why we wear the red poppy(罂粟花)；that’s why when we see a soldier in uniform we should stop him or her and say “Thank you”; that’s why we take a pause from our busy lives for two short minutes today to honor that request. Yet this message is fading away, year after year. Take for example the terrible decision to allow parents to excuse students from Remembrance Day ceremonies at school. Not only is this disrespectful, it distances the student from his or her classmates.
It is difficult to understand why any Canadian parent would want to remove their child from the time-honored tradition of reading the poem in Flanders Fields, while a wreath of poppies is laid. It is more important than ever to teach school-aged children about our history, no matter how violent it was. Sheltering them from the realities of war is a great disservice. Understanding why conflicts happened, or happen today can help shape choices and decisions they make as adults.
Of course, because we live in a free society, we cannot force an individual to do something. It is unfortunate, but some parents now have their child “opt-out” of the services. These people should be reminded they are free to make such choices only because of the men and women the rest of us are remembering.
1.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a Remembrance Day activity today?
A. Stopping at 11a.m. to remember the war dead.
B. Listening to stories told by WWI soldiers.
C. Wearing a red poppy to show respect.
D. Showing gratitude to soldiers in uniform.
2.What can we learn from the passage?
A. War history is too violent for school children
B. The writer was once a soldier in the Canadian army
C. Few students are willing to take part in Remembrance Day ceremonies.
D. More parents are keeping their children away from frightening war stories.
3. The underlined word “It” in the last paragraph probably refers to_______.
A. the death of so many soldiers in wars
B. the fact that there were so many wars after WWI.
C. people’s ungratefulness for the freedom they have.
D. removing children from Remembrance Day events.
4.The writer believes that ______.
A. the sacrifice of the soldiers should always be remembered.
B. Remembrance Day is becoming less important for soldiers.
C. school no longer think Remembrance Day is necessary.
D. people should be forced to learn about the realities of war.
