【題目】Choosing to Study Overseas

Every year, thousands of students choose to study in another country for a semester, the summer, or a year. Studying overseas can be an exciting experience for people.

1

Living in another country can help you to learn a language, and about another culture. You will see the world in a new way, and lean, more about yourself. 2 Many companies today want employees who speak a second language, or have experienced living or working in another country.

3

Once you decide to study overseas, you have to make some choices. To choose the right country or school, ask yourself: Where do I want to go and why? How much do I want to pay? How long do I want to study overseas? Do I want to live with a host family, with roommates, or alone?

4

Get your passport and visa (簽證) early! Before you go, learn some of the language, and read about some common customs in your host country. Learn about the money. Bring some of it, and a credit card with you.

Once you are there.

After the first few weeks overseas, many students will feel a little homesick. They may miss their family, and familiar ways of doing things. 5 When you feel sad or homesick, try to talk to others, or write about your feelings in a notebook.

A. Get ready to go.

B. Make the right choice.

C. Why do you study overseas?

D. Get quick access to foreign universities.

E. Overseas study may also look good on your future resume (簡歷).

F. Remember that it takes time to get used to a new place, school, and culture.

G. As a study abroad you will pay tuition fees (學費) to the overseas institution.

【答案】

1C

2E

3B

4A

5F

【解析】這是一篇說明文。到海外學習是令人激動的經(jīng)歷,介紹選擇到國外學習要考慮的問題。

1考查上下文的語境理解能力。下文講到:生活在另一個國家可以幫助你學習一種語言和文化。對以后的求職有幫助。C項意思是為什么出國學習?能夠概括本段意思,符合語境。故選C.

2考查上下文的語境理解能力。根據(jù)后一句意思是:因為今天許多想要會說第二語言,或有在另一個國家生活或工作經(jīng)歷的雇員。E項意思是:海外學習可能還對你未來的職業(yè)規(guī)劃有好處。符合語境。故選E.

3考查上下文的語境理解能力。根據(jù)下一段第一句講到:決定出國學習要做出很多選擇,以及下文的意思“問問自己:我想去哪里,為什么?我想要花多少錢?我想留學多長時間?我想要與主人家庭,與室友,還是獨自生活?”可知,B項“做出正確的選擇”能夠概括下文,作為本段的標題。故選B.

4考查上下文的語境理解能力。根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容:早些準備護照和簽證,了解要去的國家的錢,并且去之前學一些語言和閱讀一些相關的風俗習慣?芍硕伪硎疽獪蕚涑鰢。A項“準備出國”符合語境。故選A.

5考查上下文的語境理解能力。前一句的意思是:在海外的頭幾個星期,很多學生會有點想家。想他們的家人、 朋友和熟悉的做事方式。后一句的意思是:當你感到悲傷或想家時,試著和別人談談,或在一個筆記本中寫下你的感受。所以這里選擇E(記住,習慣新的地方、 學校和文化是需要時間的。)前后一致。故選F.

【題目】A safari park is a park in which wild animals are kept. They are mainly located in east or central Africa. They often occupy a very wild area, with mountains and rivers. To visit the park and look at the animals, people have to drive around — in a car for a few of hours because the park is huge.

In south Africa there is a safari park, which contains all sorts of wild animals like lions, elephants, rhinoceroses, zebras, wild pigs, deer and giraffes.

There is a wild road leading through the park, but nobody is permitted to walk on the road. Anyone traveling in the park has to go in a car because wild animals may fiercely attack people. From the car he may see almost every type of African wildlife. Some of these are getting scarce (稀有的) because people kill them for various reasons. For example rhinoceroses are killed for their horns, which are used in traditional Chinese medicines for colds and headaches. Perhaps they will be seen only in museums and books one day.

Travelers may purchase food for the animals. They can feed them when they tour the park. Of course, they should not feed them in a close distance because the wild animals may attack people. In addition, they should only give proper food to the animals.

【題目】Internationally famous sand artist Sudarshan Patnaik and 20 of his students created 100 sand sculptures(雕像) of Santa Claus on the Puri beach—setting the world record for the Most Santa Claus Images on Sand.

Patnaik, along with his students, created the Most Santa Claus Images on Sand in time for Christmas to deliver an environmental message to the world. The message,"Save Earth From Global Warming", has been carved(雕刻) into the sculpture itself. Patnaik said, "It took nearly 48 hours to create 100 Santas and Christmas trees. About 1,000 tons of sand was used in creating the statues."

Two little girls from West Bengal officially opened the exhibition with the Most Santa Claus Images on Sand at the beach on the eve of Christmas. "The girls were chosen for the event because children love Santas," Patnaik said.

"Puri is the place where sand art started in the 14th century and the inflow of tourists into Puri is another reason why I chose the awareness about global warming by carving images of Santa Claus," said Patnaik. "The popularity of Santa is growing by the year among children. The message on global warming through Santa is especially for them as they alone can convince elders to restraint(克制) and prevent the disaster for the earth from global warming."

"Myself and my students are putting in at least 10 hours every day in giving shape to the Santa Clauses," said Patnaik, who was recently felicitated by President Pratibha Patil at Puri for his achievement in the field of sand sculpting.

Patnaik has participated in more than 40 international sand sculpture festivals and competitions and won several prizes.

A. The Most Santa Claus Images on Sand

B. Sand Art Attracts Tourists to Puri

C. parents are easily affected by children's words and actions
