we arranged that kissinger（基辛格）would fly to vietnam early in july and then stop in pakistan on the way back. there he would develop a stomachache that would require him to stay in bed and not be seen by the press. then with president yapha’s help, he would be taken to an airport where a pakistani jet would fly him over the mountains to china.
kissinger’s trip was given the name polo after marco polo, another western traveler who made history by journeying to china. everything went quite smoothly. his slight illness in islamabad received only small attention from reporters covering him. they accepted the story that he would be kept shut up for at least a few days and began making arrangements for their own activities.
BECause of the need for complete secrecy and the lack of any direct communication facilities（联络设备）between beijing and washington, i knew that we would have no word from kissinger while he was in china. even after he had returned to pakistan, it would still be important to keep it secret, so before kissinger left, we agreed on a single code word-eureka-which he would use if his mission（任务，使命）was successful and the presidential trip had been arranged.

good evening. chinese president jiang zemin and his american counterpart bill clinton have acknowledged their political differences, but they wrapped up their historic summit（高级会晤）emphasizing（强调）the importance of their common interest. as mark thun reports from washington, the two leaders hammered out agreements on a number of issues（问题，争论点）,although human rights remains a sticking point.
the two sides came to agreements over plenty of items, which could shake the world for a long time to come. the most important is probably the high-level dialogues and consultations（磋商）. the presidents will visit each other regularly, there will be a washington-beijing communications link for direct contact, and there will be regular exchanges or visits by cabinet（内阁）and other officials on political and security（安全）issues. on nuclear cooperation, mr clinton promises the sale of nuclear technology to china for peaceful use, something not possible now with an american ban after the 1989 tiananmen crackdown（严厉取缔）.the two countries have agreed to strengthen military maritime safety（加强海军方面的安全合作）.and beijing and washington are both working towards china’s entry into the wto, with china aiming to make substantial tariff reductions（大幅度降低关税）. taiwan is considered the most important issue, but there’s little breakthrough（突破）here. the two sides agreed that there should be only one china, and that the chinese should be allowed to resolve the problem by themselves. it’s over the matter of human rights which the two countries have the most obvious differences.
the autumn air might have been chilly（寒冷的），but the welcoming ceremony for the chinese president was anything but cold. mr and mrs jiang zemin were greeted by the american president and the first lady. the two heads of state inspected the honour guard and national anthems were played with the twenty-one gun salute as the background. with a chime swinging leisurely only a few steps away, president bill clinton spoke of a better future,“let us strengthen the bonds between us, let us pursue common causes, let us address our differences openly and with respect, let us build a better world for our children.”and mr jiang gave a similarly optimistic reply, partly in english, “let us, the chinese and the americans, join hands, and together with people around the world, work hard to bring about the new century of peace, stability and the prosperity.”
60．what style is this short passage?
a．tv news broadcasting. b．a document（文件）on state affairs.
c．a summary of bill clinton’s speech at the welcoming ceremony for the chinese president. d．a newspaper report.
61．“the autumn air might have been chilly, but the welcoming ceremony for the chinese president was anything but cold.”what does the sentence mean to the reader or the listener?
a．even though the weather was cold, all the people at the welcoming ceremony still felt fairly warm.
b．both the autumn air and the welcoming ceremony were not a bit warm.
c．people thought it really interesting to hold the warm ceremony in the chilly autumn air.
d．people at the ceremony talked about anything but the cold weather.
62．after the meeting of the two presidents, we can hope that .
a．the two countries will together devote themselves to the study of nuclear weapons
b．taiwan will soon come back to the embrace of its motherland
c．china will adopt the same system as that of the usa
