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 tgravel and making all sorts of new and   23   friends. While traveling was inspring and meeting people was   24   , nothing about my tern in France was what I   25   .

The moment I arrived in Paris, I was   26   by a nice frence 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 and 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, who I was surprised to find playing one of my favourite CD! 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 ask me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always   35   to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and the scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends   36   France we enjoyed together. I love how peole   37   seem so different, but end up being so   38   .

I would recommend an exchange program to anyone who wants to experience foreign culture and gain meaningful   40   .

21. B。利用句間的邏輯關(guān)系。A. discuss討論；B. express 表達(dá)；C. announce通知；D. argue爭論

根據(jù)In my application letter（在我的申請信中），可知作者應(yīng)該是‘表達(dá)’自己的愿望，故選項(xiàng)B正確。

22. B。利用句間的邏輯關(guān)系。A. approved同意；B. knew 知道；C. warned警告；D. denied否認(rèn)

根據(jù)前句可知作者在申請參加這個項(xiàng)目，所以，I … that I was going應(yīng)該是我‘知道’了我要去，故選項(xiàng)B正確。

23. D。把握句內(nèi)邏輯關(guān)系。A. stubborn固執(zhí)的；B. anxious 急切的；C. universal宇宙的；D. interesting有趣的

根據(jù)making all sorts of new and … friends 可知作者是在談?wù)摻皇裁礃拥呐笥眩蔬x項(xiàng)D正確。

24. C。利用句間的邏輯關(guān)系。A. boring無聊的；B. upsetting 令人苦惱的；C. exciting令人興奮的；D. promising有希望的。根據(jù)前句我們可知作者是盼著能交到新朋友，所以這里meeting people （見到許多人），一定是‘令人興奮的’，故選項(xiàng)C正確。

25. A。利用上下文的線索。A. expected 預(yù)期的；B. liked喜歡的；C. doubted  懷疑的；D. feared害怕的。根據(jù)下文我們知道接待他的家庭發(fā)生變故，他不得不臨時更換寄宿家庭，因此應(yīng)該是與‘預(yù)期’不符，故選項(xiàng)A正確。

26. C。把握句內(nèi)邏輯關(guān)系。A. sponsored 贊助；B. witnessed目睹；C.      greeted迎接；D. 支持。 根據(jù)句意可知他到達(dá)法國后，將成為他寄宿家庭的‘父母’自然應(yīng)該是去‘迎接’他，故選項(xiàng)C正確。

30. C。利用上下文線索。A. learn學(xué)習(xí)；B. appreciate欣賞；C. speak 說，講；D. 精通。根據(jù)上文我們知道作者是到法國做交換生的，學(xué)習(xí)法語應(yīng)該是此行的目的之一，所以他不想有一個講英語的室友，怕自己禁不住誘惑而‘講’自己的母語--英語，故選項(xiàng)C正確。

31. D。把握句間內(nèi)的邏輯關(guān)系。A. combined 組合；B. fitted配合；   C. involved涉及；      D. placed安置。根據(jù)前面說了想要避免講母語的誘惑，所以這里應(yīng)該是要求不要與講英語的室友‘安排’在一起，故選項(xiàng)D正確。

34. C。利用上下文線索。A.    presents 禮物；B.       suitcases       旅行箱；C. stories     故事；D.      dreams夢想。根據(jù)下文可知人們是在‘聽’作者講他的經(jīng)歷，所以他一定是帶著很多‘有趣的故事’離開的法國，故選項(xiàng)C正確。

35. A。利用句間的邏輯關(guān)系。A.   surprised 感到驚奇的；B. disturbed 不安的；   C. embarrassed 尷尬的；         D. concerned關(guān)心的。根據(jù)句意我們知道當(dāng)別人問起他的這次旅行經(jīng)歷的時候，作者講的卻是他和巴西朋友之間的事情，所以人們一定會感到‘很奇怪’，故選項(xiàng)A正確。

36. B。利用句內(nèi)的邏輯關(guān)系。A. analyzing 分析； B. exploring     探險；C.      describing描述；D. investigating調(diào)查。整句話都是在談?wù)撟髡吆褪矣言诜▏陂g所做的事情，當(dāng)然也會包括‘探險獵奇’，故選項(xiàng)B正確。

37. D。利用句間的邏輯關(guān)系。A.   need需要      B. shall   將，會； C. must必須； D.    can可能。根據(jù)句意，可知作者是說‘看似不同的人，結(jié)果卻有可能變得非常相似’，這里表示的一種‘可能性’，故選項(xiàng)D正確。

39. B。固定句型表達(dá)。A. and 并且；  B.    but  但是；C.      or    或者；D.      so。 所以�！畁ot … but… ’（不是……而是……）是一個常用的句型，意思是，不能單單要尊重法國人，而是要尊重所有的人，轉(zhuǎn)折意思明顯，故選項(xiàng)A正確。

40. B。利用上下文線索。A. instructions指令；B. friendships友誼；C. facts事實(shí)；D. data數(shù)據(jù)。文中作者用了大量的筆墨來敘述他和巴西室友的友誼，這對他來說應(yīng)該是最有意義的東西了，故選項(xiàng)B正確。

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.

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.”
