18.Two weeks later,I registered for my course and started going to lectures.It was really difficult to concentrate at first,and I could only really pick up bits and pieces.Over time though,as my Spanish improved,it became a lot easier and a lot more interesting.
I made friends with the other Erasmus students in my classes.It was difficult to get to know the Spanish students as most of them had already formed their own groups of friends and stuck to them.I did meet a few friendly Spanish people,but the vast majority of my friends were other foreign students.
I didn't really experience too much of a culture shock as I learnt a lot about the country through my major courses,but there were a few things that still took me by surprise,such asthe laid-back attitudeof the people.It meant life moved in general at a slower pace,which could be frustrating at times,but 1 soon grew to love it.
I didn't miss home too much as I kept in contact with family and friends online through Skype.It was also easy to get a cheap flight back for the weekend if I liked a weekend of home comforts.However,I was always so busy that I never really spared time for homesickness.My family came over a few times to visit and it was always good to have a fresh perspective(視角) on the city as they would appreciate things about Valencia I hadn't noticed or took for granted.
I have many fond memories of Valencia,especially the days spent on the sunny beach the brilliant food,the all-night party and the festivals.I'll definitely go back for a weekend with all the friends 1 met there and I hope to keep in touch with my Spanish friends too.I thoroughly recommend studying abroad,and although it may seem tough early on,the chances are you'll have a great time.

分析 整個(gè)文章講的是:在作者到了的兩個(gè)星期后,登記了他的課程,開始聽課了.一開始,他很難集中注意力,捕捉到的只是只言片語.但是,過了一段時(shí)間,隨著我西班牙語水平的提高,事情變得簡單了,也變得更有趣了.接著寫了作者在西班牙交了幾個(gè)好友,通過進(jìn)一步的學(xué)習(xí),作者更多的了解了西班牙這個(gè)國家,以及那兒的人民,他們對生活悠閑的態(tài)度,作者感到吃驚.再寫了作者對Valencia市美好的回憶和自己的家人的聯(lián)系情況.留學(xué)結(jié)束,即將歸國,最后向讀者建議有機(jī)會(huì)一定要去國外留學(xué).

解答 45、答案:B.根據(jù)第一段Over time though,as my Spanish improved,it became a lot easier and a lot more interesting.說明作者報(bào)名注冊的時(shí)候,西班牙語很差,以致于開始時(shí)聽講座聽不太懂捕捉到的只是只言片語.
46、答案:D.根據(jù)第三段It meant life moved in general at a slower pace,which could be frustrating at times,but 1 soon grew to love it.可知,總的說來,那里人們的生活節(jié)拍很慢,很快作者喜歡上了它.說明這個(gè)短語the laid-back attitude是"悠閑的生活態(tài)度"之意.
47、答案:C.根據(jù)第四段My family came over a few times to visit and it was always good to have a fresh perspective(視角) on the city as they would appreciate things about Valencia I hadn't noticed or took for granted.可知,作者的家人去過Valencia市幾次,對Valencia市有一個(gè)全新的認(rèn)識(shí),并且喜歡上了那里的事物.所以作者的家人對Valencia市給與了高度評(píng)價(jià).故答案選C.
48、答案:C.根據(jù)第五段I'll definitely go back for a weekend with all the friends 1 met there and I hope to keep in touch with my Spanish friends too.I thoroughly recommend studying abroad,and although it may seem tough early on,the chances are you'll have a great time.可知,作者希望和他的西班牙朋友保持聯(lián)系,同時(shí)向讀者建議有機(jī)會(huì)一定要去國外留學(xué),說明作者已經(jīng)完成了在國外的學(xué)業(yè).故答案選C.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 該篇閱讀主要考查考生對文章的整體內(nèi)容和結(jié)構(gòu)以及細(xì)節(jié)知識(shí)的理解和掌握.該題型要求考生從整體上把握文章的邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)和內(nèi)容上的聯(lián)系,理解句子之間、段落之間的關(guān)系,對諸如連貫性、一致性等語段特征有較強(qiáng)的意識(shí)和熟練的把握.這一考查題型對閱讀理解提出了更高層次的要求,即不僅要有閱讀速度,要對所讀文章的主旨要義、具體信息要有所了解,尤其重要的是要掌握作者的寫作意圖、觀點(diǎn),并且能夠把握文章的寫作結(jié)構(gòu)和脈絡(luò)層次.

9.Directions:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.My basketball coach (教練)at Princeton used to say,"On the court (球場),you can tell who is selfish."
When my sister Michelle brought Barack Obama home to meet the family,she said to me,"I want you to take him out to play,to see what type of man he is when he,s not around me"So I invited Barack to play basketball with a few friends of mine.
I was very nervous although I had already met Barack a few times.I was thinking this guy seemed like a good guy.
We played a hard five-on-five.He was thin but not weak at all.He played extremely left-handed.He dealt with everything perfectly.He wasn't the best guy out there or the worst guy.I liked the fact that he was confident but wasn't proud.Barack was very team-oriented (有團(tuán)隊(duì)精神的),very unselfish.He played as if he was one of us-he wasn't trying to be president of Harvard Law Review.But the best part about it was that when we were on the same team,he did not pass me the ball each time.He wasn't trying to suck up to my sister through me.I was glad to give my sister the good news,"Your boy is straight."
He isn't selfish,which is the greatest praise you can give both a player and a leader.America has got a guy who is running a government in an efficient manner.That's the same guy I got to know playing basketball when he was visiting my family.

C.He wants to tell his sister about the words.
D.He wants to use the words to test a person.

6.Table manners are very different in every country.For example,when you are in England you must not lift your soup plate to your mouth.This is very impolite.But when you are in Japan this is completely normal.Lifting your plate to your mouth in Japan is a traditional way of drinking your soup.And also in Japan you don't have to worry about making a noise when you drink it.It just shows that you really like the food!But it is not the same in Britain,so you shouldn't make a noise when eating there.
In Britain,people don't put their hands or arms on the table during the meal.But in Mexico,guests keep their hands on the table all the time.In fact,you should watch what your hands do very carefully.In Arab countries,it is impolite when you eat with your left hand,so don't do it!
In all the cultures it is impolite to speak when you are eating.In Ukraine you should not start eating first; you should wait for all the others to start eating with you.You also have to say"please"and"thank you"every time you ask for and get something.If you don't like some food,don't make faces and don't say:"Yuk!I hate that!"
The best way to avoid making mistakes in other countries is to watch the host and try to do as he does.

8.It is normal to lift the soup plate to your mouth inA.
A.Japan          
B.England
C.Ukraine    
D.Mexico
9.When you are eating in Japan,making a noise means thatB.
A.you feel sick    
B.you enjoy the food
C.you dislike the food    
D.you are starving
10.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?D
A.It's polite to keep your hands on the table in Britain.
B.In Arab countries you should eat with your left hand.
