Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
①The long summer holidays are finally over and some parents are pleased. “We worry more about their safety in the holidays,” explains one mother from North London. If teenagers are not wandering around on public transport in a big and potentially dangerous city, they are chatting to strangers in an internet chat room! Well, that’s an extreme picture of the UK today, but many parents are worried about how much freedom they can give their children during the holidays and at weekends.
②Weekends are not the only time to worry! Newspaper are full of stories about too many school kids going to school by car because their parents do not want them to travel alone on a bus or train. This summer there were more frightening stories of teenagers disappearing with questionable friends that they met on the net. All the Media stories help increase parents fears, but is the UK really so dangerous?
③Many young people feel that life for their parents was easier. In the 1960s young people played in the streets more and traveled around town without their parents. “At least our parents can keep tabs on us（keep a tab/tabs on sth/sb>>keep account of , keep under observation）,” says 16-year-old Julia. “So many people have mobile phones now and their parents ring to find out where they are. I use my mobile to get Dad to come to the station when I arrive late.” Mobiles are not just expensive toys; they help keep young people safe. Most significantly, they make parents feel better. Only one problem is, though, that some young people have been attacked by thieves who want to steal their mobile phones.
④Young people like going out with friends, but they now need to learn how to get home safely. Five million young people in the UK between the ages of 9 to 16 use chat rooms to make friends, but they, too, need to be careful and never give their personal details to a stranger. Young people today have more opportunities to meet new people and go out at night more than their parents ever did. Now school, television programs and newspapers must help teenagers to enjoy their freedom and to be responsible for their own safety.
31. Some parents are upset about the summer holidays mainly because their children ______.
A. wander around on bus in the city
B. chat to strangers in Internet chat rooms
C. make questionable friends on the net
D. are taken little care of by teachers
正确答案：D

第5题：
Near the beginning of his presidency,Barack Obama gave a speech to Congress that laid out a goal for the future:"By 2020,America will once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world.At the time,America was 12th,according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Almost a decade later,and with 2020 not far off,where do things stand?The percentage of Americans between the ages of 25 and 34 who had earned an associate's degree rose only by 7.4 percent be-tween 2007 and 2017-a difference of more than 5 million people,according to the U.S.Census Bureau's American Community Survey.Still,that puts America at 10th in the world,according to the latest available data But even though progress has been made,the data remain quite uneven.A pair of reports released on Wednesday by The Education Trust,an advocacy group for low-income and minority students,break down the attainment data more finely.They found that the share of black adults who hold a bachelors or associate's degree--31 percent-is roughly two-thirds that of white ones-47 percent.And Latinos,at about 23 percent,are just half as likely.Further,the report shows,there is not a single state in the country where black and Latino adults are as likely to have earned a college credential as their white counterparts At the root of these differences in attainment rates are social and economic disparities that continue to benefit certain races over others.Still,graduation rates have improved over the past decade,particu larly among latinos,as a report from the left-leaning Center for American Progress shows--and there is a significant difference between the rates of native-born Latino adults and those who were born outside of the United States.（The latter are less likely to have earned a degree.It's these race-by-race attainment rates that the report advises policymakers to pay attention to-overall graduation rates can obscure how the educational system underserves certain groups More than 40 states have outlined goals for these attainment rates in the past decade,often including specific goal rates for black and Latino residents.What can be done to reach those goals?Well,for one,lawmakers can make sure race factors centrally into policy conversations-and that can look different for different states.For some,it could be as simple as diverting more resources to campuses that primarily serve minority students.A recent report from the American Council on Education,a leading higher-education trade group,found that minority-serving institutions have a special knack for changing students socio economic fortunes of students.Such institutions--including historically black colleges and universities and Hispanic-serving institutions-propelled students from the lowest rung of the economic ladder to the highest at least double the rate of colleges that were not focused on enrolling a particular minority
According to Paragraph 3,which of the following is true?A.People's level of educational attainment is more strong tied to their wealth
B.The minorities are often regarded as less-educated and low-income groups.00%
C.Most universities and colleges have a preference for minorities in admission

Is There a Way to Keep the Britain's Economy Growing?
1 .In today's knowledge economy,nations survive on the things they do best.Japanese design electronics while Germens export engineering techniques.The French serve the best food and Americans make computers.
2 .Britain specializes in the gift of talking.The nation doesn't manufacture much of any-thing.But it has lawyers,stylists and business consultants who earn their living from talktalk and more talk.The World Foundation think tank says the UK's four iconic job、todayare not scientists,engineers,teachers and nurses.Instead,they're hairdressers,celebrities,management consultants and managers.But can all this talking keep the British economy going?The British government thinks it can.
3 .Although the country's trade deficit was more than￡60 billion in 2006,UK's largest in thepostwar period,officials say the country has nothing to worry about.In fact,Britain does have a world-class pharmaceutical industry and it still makes a small sum from selling arms abroad.It also trades services一accountancy,insurance,banking and advertising.The government believes Britain is on the cutting edge of the knowledge economy.After all,the country of Shakespeare and Words-worth has a literary tradition of which to be proud.Rock'n'roll is an English language medium,and there are billions to be made by their cutting-edge bands.In other words,the creative economy has plenty of strength to carry the British economy.
4 .However,creative industries account for only about 4 percent of UK's exports of goods and services.The industries are finding it hard to make a profit,according to a report of the National Endowment for Science,Technology and the Arts.The report shows only 38 percent of British companies were engaged in“innovation activities”,3 percentage points be-low the EU average and well below Germany(61 percent)and Sweden(47 percent).
5 .In fact,it might be better to call Britain a“servant”economy一there are at least 4 million people“in service”.The majority of the population are employed by the rich to cook,clean,and take care of their children.Many graduates are even doing menial jobs for which they do not need a degree.Most employment growth has been, and will continue to be,at the low-skill end of the service sector一in shops,bars,hotels,domestic service and in nursing and care homes.The creative industries find it difficult______.
A:to find jobs
B:to do low-skill jobs
C:to feed its people
D:to handle disputes
E:to make a profit
F:to worry about the British economy答案：E解析：段落中出现了明显的段落主题词talk(talk贯穿该段出现），依据这个段落主题词可轻松判断出答案应该来自E和F这两个选项中。第二段中的第一个句子是观点句，该句意为 “英国的特长是有说话的天赋”。这个意义意义正好与E'‘说话的天赋”一致。该段的写作结构为“观点句（主题句）＋解释说明（接下来的句子具体说明说话天赋在经济中的表现）”。
该段没有明显的段落主题词，段首句只是事实陈述句，不是观点句，也就不是该段的主题句。对于该段落只能通过大致理解段落主要意思来归纳出主题。该段讲述英国是著名作家Shakespeare和Wordsworth.的故乡，“他1IJ以次央国的摇艰尔团创造了大量的精神财富，也为英国赚得了大量的钱，显示了创造性经济的力量。因此C“创造性经济的实力”是答案。
第四段的第一个句子是转折句（提示：段首出现的转折句常是段落主题句）, 该句意为“然而，创造性行业的商品和服务出口只占整个英国出口量的4%左右”，由此可见创造性经济还是很薄弱的。因此答案为D“创造性经济的弱点”。
第五段的第一个句子是主题句In fact, it might be better to call Britain a “servant” economy一there are at least 4 million people “in service”。该句意为“实际上，把英国的经济叫做服务经济更恰当一些——因为至少有四百万人在做服务性工作”。因此选B“服务经济”。提示：如果概括大意的选项中出现正反意义选项，如本题中的选项C“创造性经济的强项”和D “创造性经济的弱点”，则这两个选项中必然至少有一个是答案选项，而另一个形成对比意义的选项作为答案出现的可能性也较大，因为英文短文中常出现两个形成对比意义的段落，如：过去情况与现在情况的对比；强项（优点）和弱点（缺点）的对比等。
虽然可以利用题干中的名词短语every country, own way作为定位线索，但是对于该题却不容易依据定位线索识别出相关句。这种情况在职称英语考试中较少见，该题的相关句在第一段。第一段讲到了在今天的知识经济时代，各个国家靠自己的强项得以生存。因此C“养活自己的人民”是答案。
利用题干中的名词短语British government作为定位线索，在第二段中找到相关句 But can all this talking keep the British economy going? The British government thinks it can，相关句意为“说话能让英国经济持续发展吗？英国政府认为可以。”依据相关句的内容不难看出英国政府似乎并不担心英国经济。因此选项F“担心英国经济”是答案。
利用题干中的名词短语“creative industries”作为定位线索，在第四段中找到相关句The industries（指creative industries) are finding it hard（与题干中的形容词 difficult呼应）to make a profit, according to a report of the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts，相关句表明英国创造性的行业很难盈利。因此答案为E“盈利”。
利用题干中的名词短语many graduates作为定位线索，在第五段中找到相关句Many graduates are even doing menial jobs for which they do not need a degree，相关句意为“许多毕业生甚至在做不需要学位的卑微的工作”。因此B“做低技能的工作”是答案。 -
第7题：
Which is NOT seen as a lesson drawn from the Enron disaster？( )A.401(k) assets should be placed in more than one investment option.
B.Employees have to take up responsibilities for themselves.
C.Such events could happen again as it is not easy to change people’s mind.
D.Economic security won’t be taken for granted by future young workers.答案：D解析：细节题。根据题干可知，题目问哪一项不是“安然悲剧事件”的教训。A项“401(k)计划让人们知道不能将资金集中在一个投资选择中”，正确。B项“员工应该为自身负责”正确，因为投资方式以及内容是由自己决定的。C项“此类事件还会再次发生，因为扭转人们的观念不是一件容易的事情”正确，文章的最后一段提到了观念的改变需要长期的积累。D项“未来的年轻工人不会认为经济安全是理所当然的”，观念是正确的，但并非安然事件引发的结果，而是整个社会经济导致的结果。故本题选D。参考译文：安然员工的悲惨命运将成为商业史上的一个里程碑，人人都同意此类可怕事件绝不能再次发生。这可以理解，也是崇高的：随着安然公司股票崩盘，数以千计的人几乎失去了所有的退休储蓄。但要确保这种情况不再发生是不太可能的，安然员工突然陷入贫困，说明存在比看上去更严重的问题。这是20世纪最大胆的承诺之一的最新转折。这一承诺就是确保经济安全，让发达国家的每个人都感到欣慰。从19世纪开始，随着财富的爆炸式增长，人们有机会去思考以前不敢考虑的可能性。自穴居时代以来，人们日常生活中最担心的就是缺乏温热的食物和温暖的住所，而这种恐惧最终将不复存在。这个非凡的承诺在很多方面都变成了现实。政府为有需要的人提供福利制度，为老年人设立单独的项目(即美国的社会保障计划)。工会不仅承诺为工人提高工资，也为退休者提供退休金。随着大型公司的出现，人们有可能一辈子都不会失业，退休金也得到了保证。这种累积效应是数以百万计的人对待生活方式的根本改变，是人类历史上最大的态度转变之一。几千年来，人们对自给自足的态度一直是“最后我只能靠自己”，现在变成了“最终我会受到很好的照顾”。早在上世纪80年代就有迹象表明，这一承诺可能会在很大程度上被破坏。美国企业已经失去了全球竞争力，开始大规模重组，并大量裁员。随着企业福利堡垒面临现实，这一趋势在上世纪90年代开始加速。IBM废除了不裁员政策。AT&T解雇了数千名员工，许多人对此无法理解，一些人甚至选择自杀。而其他一些被认为是经济安全保障者的公司也在走下坡路。几十年间，工会成员身份和工会权利跌至谷底。克林顿总统签署了一项历史性的削减福利的法案。美国人开始意识到社会保障不会为他们任何人提供社会保障了。一个不太明显但同样重要的趋势是养老金受到影响。为了更容易控制成本，企业放弃了固定福利养老金计划，转而采用固定缴款计划。固定收益养老金计划要求企业在未来数年内支付一定数额的养老金，而固定缴款计划只规定了目前的投资金额。最常见的固定缴款计划是401(k)计划。401(k)计划的意义在于，它把个人经济命运的大部分责任都推给了雇员。在一定的范围内，员工必须决定每年在计划中投入多少以及如何投入，这两个因素将决定雇员退休时的退休金额。现在，让我们回到安然事件。那些消失了的几亿美元的退休储蓄就是员工401(k)账户里的资金。也就是说，员工选择将一定的钱存入这些账户，然后选择如何投资。安然将每位员工401(k)养老金的一定比例与公司股票相置换，因此每个人的投资组合中都会有一些安然股票，但那被视为免费赠品，因为没有人能迫使公司补足员工的贡献。至少有两个特点使安然事件复杂化。首先，一些股东指控高管非法掩盖公司问题，在本该抛售公司股票的时候继续让其持股。其次，安然的401(k)账户在去年10月更换计划管理人时被冻结，当时该公司股价正在下跌，因此员工无法关闭账户。但目前为止，导致这一人间悲剧的最大原因是，数千名员工持有大量的安然股票。许多人将401(k)计划的全部资产用于股票，而不是选择其他18种投资方式。这当然并不明智，但他们中的一些人的确这样做了。安然员工的退休悲剧是与有保障的经济安全渐行渐远这一重要趋势的一部分。这也是不可能阻止此类事件再次发生的原因所在。“我会得到照顾”这种观念的转变至少花了一代人的时间，而再将观念扭转回来可能需要花费更长的时间。这一过程不会结束，除非新一代员工将经济上的舒适放心视为20世纪的奇想，不仅从理性上，而且在骨子里坚信，就像绝大多数时期，绝大多数地区的绝大部分人一样，他们要靠自己。 -

BEmployees have to take up responsibilities for themselves.
CSuch events could happen again as it is not easy to change people’s mind.
DEconomic security won’t be taken for granted by future young workers.
正确答案： C解析：
文章倒数第二段第一句指出职工的唯一的投资选择（sole investment option ）是造成悲剧的最大原因，从该段第二句也可看出，如果他们将投资分散在各个investment options的话，可能就不会造成这么大的悲剧，故A项正确。从文章可知，人们普遍认为I’ll-be-taken-care-of，但此次悲剧不仅说明了所谓的经济安全的瓦解，也警醒了他们须为自己负责，不能再想当然以为企业、社会或者政府会为他们负责。故B、D两项都正确。从最后一段可知，人们的思想观念不可能一下子转变过来，因而有可能这样的事会再发生，故C正确。D并不是从Enron disaster得到的教训。 -

The nation doesn’t manufacture much of anything.[F] Britain is on the cutting edge of facing economic crisis due to its weak manufacturing power.[G] In fact, it might be better to call Britain a “servant” economy—there are at least 4 million people “in service”.正确答案： 1.C 第一段讲的是各个国家最擅长的是什么。C项说“在知识经济的今天,各个国家以依靠它们所擅长的而生存”,最能概括本段大意。故选C。
2.E 第二段讲的是英国人讲话天赋在经济中的具体表现。E项说“英国人的特长是有说话的天赋,除此之外别无所长”,既承接上文切入主题,引出英国人擅长什么,又准确概括本段大意。故选E。
3.B 本段讲到”英国制药业、服务业、保险、广告业等发展都还很好,并认为英国处在知识经济的最前沿,莎士比亚、华兹华斯以及摇滚乐团为英国带来了巨大的财富,这些都体现了英国创造性经济的力量”。B项讲尽管贸易赤字严重,但英国仍认为其经济实力依然强大。能够概括本段大意。故选B。
4.A 本段讲到英国中从事创意活动的公司所占的比例比欧盟的平均水平、德国和瑞典的都低,由此可见创造性经济很薄弱。A项说“然而,创意产业占英国出口商品和服务不到4%的份额”,既承接上段creative industries,又概括下午英语创意产业的现状。符合文意。故选A。
5.G 本段说”很多人从事厨师、保洁、保姆等体力劳动,许多大学生毕业生正从事那些根本不需要文凭的体力劳动,未来的就业趋势也是如此”。即,本段讲的是英国人的就业性质。G项说“事实上,将英国的经济称作‘服务经济’或许更恰当,因为在英国至少4百万人从事服务业。”能够准确概括本段大意。故选G。解析： 暂无解析 -

第二篇
Around 45%of the UK's carbon dioxide emissions come from the energy people use every day-at home and when they travel.In order to generate that energy,fossil fuels(coal oil,and gas)are burnt,and these produce greenhouse gases-in particular carbon dioxide(CO2).Car emissions are a major problem, but the truth is that more CO2 comes from the energy used at home.The average household creates around
five and a half tonnes of CO2 a year,and it is the same CO2 that is changing the climate and damaging the environment.
CO2 and various other gases wrap the earth in an invisible blanket helping to prevent heat from escaping.Without this greenhouse effect,the average temperature on Earth would be around-18℃， compared with the current average of around+15℃．The composition of this blanket of gases has remained relatively constant for many thousands of years.However,since the industrial revolution began around 200 years ago,people have been burning increasing amounts of fossil fuels,thus releasing more CO2 and other greenhouse gases in the process.This has increased the heating effect of the blanket,trapping more of the sun's energy inside the Earth's atmosphere in turn the Earth's temperature has increased more rapidly in a shorter period of time than it has for thousands of years.
In 2008,the total UK CO2 emissions were 533 million tonnes.27%(144 million tonnes)of those emissions came from the energy used to heat,light,and power homes.Transport emissions caused by passenger cars,buses and motorcycles accounted for a further 16%(87 million tonnes)of the UK's CO2 emissions.These figures show that a significant amount of CO2 results from ordinary citizens carbon footprint in their daily activities and lifestyle.
The effects of climate change can be seen all around us.Weather patterns are becoming more and more fractured and uncertain,and over the last century trends in warm weather have become increasingly common.In the UK in the last 40 years,winters have grown warmer,with much heavier rainfall.One of the clearest shifts over the last 200 years is towards summers that are hotter and drier,causing pervasive（普遍的）water shortages.Recent years have been the hottest since records began and during August 2003,the hottest ever outdoor temperature in the UK was recorded-38.5℃．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A:Ways of reducing the UK's CO2 emissions.
B:UK citizen's carbon footprint.
C:The effect of industry on climate change in the UK.
D:Changes in weather patterns in the UK.答案：B解析：本文以英国的情况为例，主要讲述了人们在日常生活中排出大量二氧化碳气体及这种情次对地球环境的影响。文章以英国二氧化碳气体的排放来源展开论述，指出由于人们活动消耗能源，使得大气中产生大量的二氧化碳。并通过具体数据来论述人类的日常活动排放的大量二氧化碳及其对气候所产生的不良影响。故本题选C。
由文章第一段第三句和第四句话的内容可知，家庭排放的二氧化碳气体占据二氧化碳排放量的主要部分，比汽车排放的多，故选C。
由文章第三段中的内容可知，2008年，在英国有16％的二氧化碳气体来自于交通工具的排放，这和D项意思相符，故选D。
文章第四段第三句话中提到，在过去40年里，英国的冬天变得更暖，降雨也更加猛烈， A、B、D三项的内容文中均未提及，故选C。
由第36题的解析可知，文章主要围绕在英国人们日常生活所排放的大量二氧化碳气体及其对气候的影响来展开。故本题最佳答案为B。 -

But it has lawyers,stylists and business consultants who earn their living from talk,talk and more talk. The World Foundation think tank says the UK's four iconic（标志性的）jobs today are not scientists,engineers,teachers and nurses.Instead,they're hairdressers,celebrities,management consultants and managers .But can all this talking keep the British economy going?The
British government thinks it can.
Although the country's trade deficit was more than￡60 billion in 2006,UK's largest in the postwar period,officials say the country has nothing to worry about.In fact,Britain does have a world-class pharmaceutical（制药的）industry , and it still makes a small sum from selling arms abroad. It also trades services-accountancy,insurance, banking and advertising.The government believes Britain is on the cutting edge of the knowledge economy.After all,the country of
Shakespeare and Wordsworth has a literary tradition of which to be proud,Rock“n”roll is an
English language medium,and there are billions to be made by their cutting-edge bands.In other words,the creative economy has plenty of strength to carry the British economy.
However,creative industries account for only about 4 percent of UK's exports of goods and services .The industries are finding it hard to make a profit,according to a report of the National
Endowment for Science,Technology and the Arts .The report shows only 38 percent of British companies were engaged in“innovation activities”,3 percentage points below the EU average and well below Germany(61 percent)and Sweden(47 percent).
In fact,it might be better to call Britain a“servant”economy-there are at least 4 million people“in service”.The majority of the population are employed by the rich to cook,clean,and take care of their children.Many graduates are even doing menial jobs for which they do not need a degree.Most employment growth has been,and will continue to be,at the low-skill end of the service sector-in shops,bars,hotels,domestic service and in nursing and care homes.Which of the following is true about the creative industries in Britain?
A:.They contribute a lot to the country's trade deficit.
B:.They make Britain on the cutting edge of the knowledge economy.
C:.They can't make a profit out of their innovation activities.
D:.They are not doing as well as those in other European nations.答案：D解析：由第二段第四、五句“The World Foundation think tank says the UK's four iconic（标志性的）jobs today are not scientists, engineers, teachers and nurses. Instead, they're hairdressers, celebrities, management consultants and managers.”可知如今英国的四大标志性的职业不是科学家、工程师、教师和护士，而是发型师、名流显要、管理顾问和商业经理。四个选项中只有C（商业顾问）符合题意，故选C。
由第三段第四句“The government believes Britain is on the cutting edge of the knowl-edge economy.”可知英国政府认为英国有着最先进的知识经济。由此不难推出，“the cutting edge”的意思是“最先进的”，故选D。
题干中的“they”指的是前一分句中的官方“ officials”。由第三段第四句“The gov-ernment believes Britain is on the cutting edge of the knowledge economy.”可知，官方认为英国正处于知识经济的前沿，所以不担心2006年的贸易赤字。故选A。
由第四段最后一句中的“only 38 percent of British companies were engaged in‘innova-tion activities' ,3 percentage points below the EU average”可知，英国只有38％的企业在进行有关创新的工作，比欧盟的平均水平要低三个百分点。由此推断，英国的创新工作没有欧洲其他国家做得好。故选D。
由第二段最后两句“But can all this talking keep the British economy going? The British government thinks it can.”可以推断，英国政府在经济上过于自信了。故选C。 -

问答题Directions:In this section, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary below by choosing no more than three words from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Questions 1 - 5 are based on the following passage.The United Kingdom Britain (or Great Britain) is an island that lies off the north-west coast of Europe. The nearest country is France, which is 20 miles away and from which Britain is separated by the English Channel. The island is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the North Sea to the east. It comprises the mainlands of England, Wales and Scotland, that is, three countries. Scotland is in the north, while Wales is in the west. Ireland, which is also an island, lies off the west coast of Britain. It consists of Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic. Britain together with Northern Ireland constitute the United Kingdom (UK). Thus, the United Kingdom is composed of four countries, the largest of which is England. The capital city is London, which is situated in south-east England. The UK has a total area of about 244,100 square kilometres (94,248 square miles). About 70% of the land area is devoted to agriculture, about 7% is wasteland, moorland and mountains, about 13% is devoted to urban development, and 10% is forest and woodland. The northern and western regions of Britain, that is Scotland and Wales, are mainly mountainous and hilly. Parts of the north-west and centre of England also consist of mountains and hills. Britain has a generally mild and temperate climate. It is, however, subject to frequent changes. It has an average annual rainfall of about 120 centimetres (47 inches). In 1998 the population of the United Kingdom was nearly 59 million. The density of population was approximately 240 people per square kilometre. However, in England, where 83% of the population live, the density was much higher, about 363 per square kilometre. In the UK, English is the first language of the vast majority of people. However, in western Wales, Welsh is the first language for many of the people. In Scotland only a small number of people speak Gaelic. In Britain about 66% of the population say that they are Christian, while fewer than 5% say that they belong to other religions.

BIts culture is a combination of Asian ethnic minorities and other neighboring countries.
CIt is the home of many Russian refugees who fled the 1917 Revolution.
DThe Chinese Eastern Railway plays an important role in the city’s industrialization.
正确答案： D解析：
数字信息的找寻和判断。该段录音主要是对中国北方城市哈尔滨的介绍。录音开头便提到该城市是一个modern metropolis of 2.6 million people（拥有2600万人口的现代化都市）。由此可知，选项A描述的“该城市拥有2.16 million人口”的说法与录音相关内容不符。
【录音原文】
The northern Chinese city of Harbin is often called the “Ice City” and is a modern metropolis of 2.6 million people. Located along the Russian-Chinese border, the city’s culture is a rich and diverse mixture of many ethnic minorities from across Asia and other neighboring countries. Many Russian refugees who fled the Revolution in 1917 also call Harbin their home. The construction of the Chinese Eastern Railway helped to industrialize the city, making it the number one manufacturing location in northeastern China.
