Last spring, I was fortunate to be chosen to participate in an exchange study program. In my application letter, I was careful to   21  how much I wanted to see France; evidently, my excitement really came through in my words. Once I   22   that I was going, all I could think about was the fun of foreign travel and making all sorts of new and   23  friends. While traveling was inspiring and meeting people was   24  , nothing about my term in France was what I   25 .       

The moment I arrived in Paris, I was   26  by a nice French couple who would become my host parents. My entire experience was joyous and exciting  27  I received some shocking news from my program coordinator（協(xié)調(diào)人）: there had been a death in my host parents’ extended family. They had to travel outside France for several weeks. That afternoon, I had to   28  out of one family’s house into another. The exchange coordinator told me I’d have a   29  this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid the temptation(誘惑) to   30 my native language, I asked not to be   31  with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I   32  myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian（巴西人） the same age as I, whom I was surprised to find playing one of my favorite CDS! In just a few hours, we knew we’d be good friends for the rest of the   33  .      

I left France with many   34  , so when people asked me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always   35  to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends   36  France we enjoyed together. I love how people   37  seem so different, but end up being so   38  . The most valuable lesson I gained from studying in France wasn’t just to respect the friend people   39  to respect all people, for your next best friend could be just a continent away. I would recommend an exchange program to anyone who wants to experience foreign cultures and gain meaningful  40  .

【解析】

【文章大意】本文是一篇記述文。作者很幸運地被選中參加了一個英法交換生項目，但到達法國的當(dāng)天，他原定的接待家庭中因有人去世要出國，所以他不得不搬到另一個家庭與人合住。在那里他遇到了來自巴西的同齡人，兩人很快成為了好朋友，一起度過了一個學(xué)期的美好時光。這段經(jīng)歷也給作者留下了難忘的回憶。

1.A討論 B 表達 C宣告Ｄ爭論　句意：我在申請信中很詳盡地表達了我有多想看看法國，實際上，我的興奮溢于言表。從后面賓語內(nèi)容可判斷是作者想要"傳達對于法國有多么的向往"，是一種情感，只能選擇express。

2.Ａ支持　Ｂ知道　Ｃ警告�。姆裾J　句意：一旦我知道了我即將出發(fā)，我能想到的全是這次外國之旅的有趣之處．．．此處還是延續(xù)傳達作者對于法國的向往之情，一得知要去法國，便在大腦中想象各種情景，所以答案應(yīng)為knew。

3.A固執(zhí)的 B焦急的 C全世界的D有趣的句意：以及各類新的并且來自世界各地的朋友。Interesting可對應(yīng)前句出現(xiàn)的exciting, fun等詞

4.A 枯燥的 B 令人悲傷的 C令人興奮的Ｄ承諾句意：雖然旅行很鼓舞人心且看見他人也令人興奮，但是我在法國的半學(xué)期和我預(yù)想的完全不一樣。And前后并列內(nèi)容為traveling...inspiring可推斷meeting people...exciting，同樣可對應(yīng)前文已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)的exciting, fun等字眼

5.A預(yù)料 B喜歡 C懷疑 D 害怕句意：但是我在法國的半學(xué)期和我預(yù)想的完全不一樣。此處通過while我們可得知，作者對于term并沒有期待，所以選expected

6.A 贊助 B親眼目睹 C 歡迎Ｄ支持　句意：我剛到法國就受到了一個很親和的法國夫婦的歡迎。作者一達到巴黎，就受到了一對nice夫婦的問候，所以選greeted

7.Ａ直到�。庐�(dāng)．．．時候　C自從，既然 D然而句意：我的體驗很有趣很讓人興奮，直到我從法國夫婦那里聽到了駭人的消息。因為前一句話中出現(xiàn)joyous, exciting，而后句出現(xiàn)的是shocking news可知激動心情的終結(jié)，轉(zhuǎn)而變成不好的事情。肯定句+Until便是"直到...結(jié)束。

8.A搬家  B 旅行 C 走步 D沖句意：那天下午，我不得不從他家搬出來到另一家去。此選項較為簡單，move out of one family's house and into another。

9.A房主 B領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者 C室友 D同事句意：我會有一個室友，他們問我是否愿意和一個說英語的人為室友，共享一間屋子。從后文我們可知文章的重要人物即作者的"roommate"隆重登場了

10. A 了解 B欣賞，感激 C 說 D 精通句意：為了避免說母語的誘惑，…。動詞后出現(xiàn)的是賓語language，當(dāng)然只能是"speak"，初中已學(xué)的搭配。

11.A聯(lián)合 B適應(yīng) C參與 D安置句意：我要求到不要和一個說英語的室友在一起。因為作者不想說母語，所以要求不跟說英語的人住在一起，縱觀四個選項，只有place符合邏輯

12.Ａ增加　B介紹 C致力于 D適應(yīng)，改編句意：我到了新的房間，向我的新室友做自我介紹。因為是new roommate，自然需要互相"introduce"。

13.A學(xué)期 B周 C月 D假期句意：幾個小時后我就知道我們在這學(xué)期剩下的日子里會成為好朋友。此處根據(jù)第一段末最后一句中的term而選。

14.A 禮物 B手提包 C 故事 D夢句意：我經(jīng)歷了很多事后離開了法國。根據(jù)下文的描述weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, weekends...France，便可知作者在法國與室友發(fā)生了很多的事情，故選"story"

15.A驚訝 B打擾 C尷尬 D聯(lián)系句意：他們聽到我和巴西室友的故事都很驚訝。前半部提到人們問作者這次旅行中最喜歡的部分，作者卻說的是他的室友，并不是首段中作者的設(shè)想，此結(jié)果不僅讓他人surprised，就連作者本人都沒有想到。

16.A學(xué)習(xí) B探索 C描述 D調(diào)查句意：享受著我們一起探索法國的周末。根據(jù)后接賓語France可知是一地方，只能選擇explore"探索"。

17.A需要 B將 C必須 D會，能句意：人們看起來似乎如此不同，但最終又如此相似。此處是情態(tài)動詞中關(guān)于can的客觀性猜測。

18.A大方的 B獨立的 C相似的 D遙遠的句意：人們看起來似乎如此不同，但最終又如此相似。前文出現(xiàn)different, but后顯而易見出現(xiàn)相反結(jié)果，即反義詞"similar。

19.A并且 B 但是 C否則，或者D因此句意：我懂得了不僅要尊重法國人而要尊重所有的人。。...not to...the foreign people與后面...to...all people可知情況相反，選擇but。

20.A說明 B友誼 C事實 D數(shù)據(jù)句意：我會向任何想要體驗外國文化并收獲友誼的人推薦這樣一個項目。最后一題為點明文章主旨，在前文中出現(xiàn)有關(guān)roommate的描述，又在前句中出現(xiàn)friends，可推斷本文作者做大的收益便是"friendships"。

Nearly 600,000 Americans lost their jobs this past month, pushing the nation’s unemployment rate (失業(yè)率) to 7.6 percent. But not all of those fired workers are sitting at home, reading the job advertisements and waiting for the phone to ring. Thousands of people are returning to school, making public colleges and universities among the few bright places in the disappointing US economy.
At a time when many Americans have had their work hours cut or have even lost their jobs, Sherian Huddleston is working overtime. She works at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) where she oversees (監(jiān)督) the enrollment (注冊) of new students. The university’s population grew by 800 students this term —an increase of 4 percent over last spring’s enrollment. Huddleston says seeing the enrollment rise in a failing economy is not unexpected. "When people are out of work," she points out, "they will ask 'What else can I do?’ or 'What other careers can I follow?’ They will often return to school if they have not completed a degree before."
Older returning students aren’t the only ones increasing the enrollment at MTSU. Huddleston says she’s also seeing an increase in student transfers (轉(zhuǎn)移). "Students who went out of state, or even within the state, to more expensive schools are transferring to public schools to make use of the lower cost of going to school here," she explains.
【小題1】Which is the best title for the passage?

A．The Falling American Economy

For years, my family has vacationed in the same Florida town. In fact, we just returned home after spending a week of spring break there with our three sons.

Many nights, we take the same scenic drive to dinner at a favorite restaurant. As we travel along Gulf Shore Boulevard, we admire a combination of small beach apartments, swanky high-rises and spectacular homes.

A few years ago, we noticed that whenever we drive this particular route, there are always two men sitting in front of the same third-floor window of a low-rise apartment building that overlooks the road. All that is visible from the road are their two silhouettes. Even during off-peak months, they’ve always been there. Over the years, we’ve had great fun speculating about who they are, whether they’re having a drink, and if so, what they fancy, where they’re from, and what they might be discussing. Our guesses have become a modern form of car bingo. Widowers? Retirees? Partners? We’ve run through the gamut of possibilities.

Eventually, I started beeping the horn as we passed. We’d wave. Our new friends would do likewise. There was something comforting in seeing them. In a world of constant change, it has been nice to look up and see that they are there, just as we remember from our last visit. And then last spring, we drove by and they were missing. The apartment was dark. No one was visible in the window. Strangely, we drove by and they were missing The apartment was dark. No one was visible in the window. Strangely, we grew worried about two people we’d never even met. Where did they go? A new round of the guessing game began.

On our last trip at Christmastime, we were relieved to see them once again. We were driving past about 6 p.m., and there they were at cocktail hour. I told my wife that I suspected they were gin drinkers and said we should buy them a bottle. She said that if I bought it, she’d deliver it. I said, “Tomorrow.”
