Question

【題目】 Studying abroad is complicated. Apart from academic matters that needed to be dealt with, you also need to maintain a great many personal relationships. 【1】 I spent most of the three and a half years in Canada with my host family. Their house is not far from my school. They are a local family of five: the parents, two sons at the age of eight or nine, and the grandmother.

In the first half year, we had no big conflicts. 【2】 Take food as an example. I had to bring my own lunch to school and my host family made cold sandwiches for me every day. Back in China, I always had warm meals, which maybe was why after having cold sandwiches for half a year I couldn’t stand it anymore.

【3】 They lived in a villa, and offered me a room on the first floor, while their living room and activity room were all on the second floor. At night or on weekends when I was ready to read, do my homework or go to bed, their sons would play with a ball, jump up and down and horse around. It felt like the whole floor was shaking.

After enduring for half a year, I told my parents I wanted to change to a Chinese host family, so that there would be less incompatible living habits. 【4】 He thought living in a Chinese host family overseas was no different from studying in China.

In the end, I chose to stay with that family and I gradually realized that they were actually nice people. 【5】 Gradually, they also started to care for me, a stranger from China. Occasionally, they would steam rice and make some stir-fried dishes for me; when the kids were playing upstairs, the host mother would remind them not to make too much noise. Although I was still bothered by their noise sometimes, I knew that there was no perfection in life. We needed to understand each other.

A.Another thing was about housing.

B.Luckily, my parents were of timely help.

C.But sometimes I did feel like fish out of water.

D.Therefore, we have to force ourselves to mature quickly.

E.From then on, I learned to communicate more with them.

F.Instead, sometimes I felt as comfortable there as at home.

G.However, my proposal was strongly rejected by my father.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】A

【4】G

【5】E

【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。文章介紹了作者在加拿大留學時的經(jīng)歷。開始的時候作者和寄宿家庭在食物和住宿上有一些分歧，但在長時間的接觸和溝通后，彼此之間也能夠互相理解并為對方考慮了。作者意識到，生活中沒有完美，人們需要互相理解。

【1】

考查上下文連接。第一段第二句提到“Apart from academic matters that needed to be dealt with, you also need to maintain a great many personal relationships.”在海外留學的過程中，不僅要處理學業(yè)上的問題，還要維護好人際人際關系。結合后文作者和寄宿家庭關于食物和住宿之間的小摩擦并和好的過程可知，在國外留學時，要使自己快速成長起來，以應對不同的人際關系的問題。D項提到“因此，我們必須使自己迅速成熟起來”，符合語境。故選D

【2】

考查上下文連接。第二段提到作者在寄宿家庭時并沒有和家庭主人發(fā)生什么非常大沖突，但是在食物上卻非常的不習慣，作者在中國的時候都能吃到熱飯菜，在國外卻只能吃到冷冰冰的三明治，這一點讓作者感到“I couldn’t stand it anymore.”自己無法忍受了。C項提到“但有時候我就像離開水的魚”，表示自己無法適應這里的習慣，符合語境，故選C。

【3】

考查段首句分析。第三段第二句“They lived in a villa, and offered me a room on the first floor, while their living room and activity room were all on the second floor.”提到了作者的居住環(huán)境，作者與寄宿家庭住在一棟別墅里，由此判斷，該段介紹了作者在海外留學時在住宿方面遇到的不適應。A項提到“另一方面是關于住宿”，符合語境，故選A。

【4】

考查上下文連接。第四段第一句提到“I told my parents I wanted to change to a Chinese host family,”因為作者在這個外國寄宿家庭內(nèi)的種種不習慣，作者和自己的父母說想換去和中國寄宿家庭住。后文提到“He thought living in a Chinese host family overseas was no different from studying in China.”作者的父親認為,如果在國外和中國寄宿家庭住的話就跟在國內(nèi)上學沒有任何區(qū)別,由此判斷作者的父親不同意作者的這個提議.G項提到“然而,我的提議遭到我父親強烈的反對”,符合文意,故選G.

【5】

考查上下文連接。后文提到“Gradually, they also started to care for me, a stranger from China.”漸漸地，他們開始關系我這個從中國來的陌生人，且在該段中，作者還提到寄宿家庭的主人會為了作者做一些熱的飯菜，而且在他們兒子吵鬧的時候也會對他進行教育。由此判斷，作者應該有和寄宿家庭的主人溝通過相應的問題，他們才會有做出相應的改變。E項提到“從那時起，我學會了和他們更多的交流”，符合語境，故選E。
