Part I Writing （100 分）
（1） Summary Writing (1 题，共 40 分)
Directions : Read the following passage and summarize its contents in
120-150 words. You must not copy complete sentences directly from the
passage, which will incur deduction of your scores.
The early 1600s saw the beginning of a great tide of emigration from Europe to North
American. Spanning more than three centuries, this movement grew from a trickle of
a few hundred English colonists to a flood of millions of newcomers. Impelled by
powerful and diverse motivations, they built a new civilization on the northern part of
the continent.
The English immigrants to what is now the United States crossed the Atlantic long
after thriving Spanish colonies had been established in Mexico, the West Indies and
South America. Like all early travelers to the New World, they came in small,
overcrowded ships. During their 6-12weeks voyages, they lived on meager rations.
Many died of disease; ships were often battered by storms and some were lost at sea.
Most European emigrants left their homelands to escape political oppression, to seek
the freedom to practice their religion, or for adventure and opportunities denied them
at home. Between 1620 and 1635, economic difficulties swept England. Many people
could not find work. Even skilled artistans could earn little more than a bare living.
Poor crop yields added to the distress. In addition, the Industrial Revolution had
created a burgeoning textile, which demanded an ever-increasing supply of wool to
keep the looms running. Landlords enclosed farmlands and evicted the peasant in
favor of sheep cultivation. Colonial expansion became an outlet for this displaced
peasant population.
The colonists’ first glimpse of the new land was a vista of dense woods. The settlers
might not have survived had it not been for the help of friendly Indians, who taught
them how to grow native plants – pumkin, squash, beans and corn. In addition, the
vast, virgin forests, extending nearly 2,100 kilometers along the Eastern seaboard,
proved a rich source of game and firewood. They also provided abundant raw
materials used to build houses, furniture, ships and profitable cargoes for export.
