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(协调人): 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.

解析

【文章大意】本文是一篇记述文。作者很幸运地被选中参加了一个英法交换生项目,但到达法国的当天,他原定的接待家庭中因有人去世要出国,所以他不得不搬到另一个家庭与人合住。在那里他遇到了来自巴西的同龄人,两人很快成为了好朋友,一起度过了一个学期的美好时光。这段经历也给作者留下了难忘的回忆。
小题1:A讨论 B 表达 C宣告D争论 句意:我在申请信中很详尽地表达了我有多想看看法国,实际上,我的兴奋溢于言表。从后面宾语内容可判断是作者想要"传达对于法国有多么的向往",是一种情感,只能选择express。
小题2:A支持 B知道 C警告 D否认 句意:一旦我知道了我即将出发,我能想到的全是这次外国之旅的有趣之处...此处还是延续传达作者对于法国的向往之情,一得知要去法国,便在大脑中想象各种情景,所以答案应为knew。
小题3:A固执的 B焦急的 C全世界的D有趣的句意:以及各类新的并且来自世界各地的朋友。Interesting可对应前句出现的exciting, fun等词
小题4:A 枯燥的 B 令人悲伤的 C令人兴奋的D承诺句意:虽然旅行很鼓舞人心且看见他人也令人兴奋,但是我在法国的半学期和我预想的完全不一样。And前后并列内容为traveling...inspiring可推断meeting people...exciting,同样可对应前文已经出现的exciting, fun等字眼
小题5:A预料 B喜欢 C怀疑 D 害怕句意:但是我在法国的半学期和我预想的完全不一样。此处通过while我们可得知,作者对于term并没有期待,所以选expected
小题6:A 赞助 B亲眼目睹 C 欢迎D支持 句意:我刚到法国就受到了一个很亲和的法国夫妇的欢迎。作者一达到巴黎,就受到了一对nice夫妇的问候,所以选greeted
小题7:A直到 B当...时候 C自从,既然 D然而句意:我的体验很有趣很让人兴奋,直到我从法国夫妇那里听到了骇人的消息。因为前一句话中出现joyous, exciting,而后句出现的是shocking news可知激动心情的终结,转而变成不好的事情。肯定句+Until便是"直到...结束。
小题8:A搬家  B 旅行 C 走步 D冲句意:那天下午,我不得不从他家搬出来到另一家去。此选项较为简单,move out of one family"s house and into another。
小题9:A房主 B领导者 C室友 D同事句意:我会有一个室友,他们问我是否愿意和一个说英语的人为室友,共享一间屋子。从后文我们可知文章的重要人物即作者的"roommate"隆重登场了
小题10: A 了解 B欣赏,感激 C 说 D 精通句意:为了避免说母语的诱惑,…。动词后出现的是宾语language,当然只能是"speak",初中已学的搭配。
小题11:A联合 B适应 C参与 D安置句意:我要求到不要和一个说英语的室友在一起。因为作者不想说母语,所以要求不跟说英语的人住在一起,纵观四个选项,只有place符合逻辑
小题12:A增加 B介绍 C致力于 D适应,改编句意:我到了新的房间,向我的新室友做自我介绍。因为是new roommate,自然需要互相"introduce"。
小题13:A学期 B周 C月 D假期句意:几个小时后我就知道我们在这学期剩下的日子里会成为好朋友。此处根据第一段末最后一句中的term而选。
小题14:A 礼物 B手提包 C 故事 D梦句意:我经历了很多事后离开了法国。根据下文的描述weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, weekends...France,便可知作者在法国与室友发生了很多的事情,故选"story"
小题15:A惊讶 B打扰 C尴尬 D联系句意:他们听到我和巴西室友的故事都很惊讶。前半部提到人们问作者这次旅行中最喜欢的部分,作者却说的是他的室友,并不是首段中作者的设想,此结果不仅让他人surprised,就连作者本人都没有想到。
小题16:A学习 B探索 C描述 D调查句意:享受着我们一起探索法国的周末。根据后接宾语France可知是一地方,只能选择explore"探索"。
小题17:A需要 B将 C必须 D会,能句意:人们看起来似乎如此不同,但最终又如此相似。此处是情态动词中关于can的客观性猜测。
小题18:A大方的 B独立的 C相似的 D遥远的句意:人们看起来似乎如此不同,但最终又如此相似。前文出现different, but后显而易见出现相反结果,即反义词"similar。
小题19:A并且 B 但是 C否则,或者D因此句意:我懂得了不仅要尊重法国人而要尊重所有的人。。...not to...the foreign people与后面...to...all people可知情况相反,选择but。
小题20:A说明 B友谊 C事实 D数据句意:我会向任何想要体验外国文化并收获友谊的人推荐这样一个项目。最后一题为点明文章主旨,在前文中出现有关roommate的描述,又在前句中出现friends,可推断本文作者做大的收益便是"friendships"。
核心考点
试题【Last spring, I was fortunate to be chosen to participate in an exchange study pr】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
In 1974, after filling out fifty applications, going through four interviews, and winning one offer, I took what I could get ----- a teaching job at what I considered a distant wild area: western New Jersey. My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen ------- teaching English.
School started, but I felt more and more as if I were in a foreign country. Was this rural area really New Jersey? My students took a week off when hunting season began. I was told they were also frequently absent in late October to help their fathers make hay on the farms. I was a young woman from New York City, who thought that “Make hay while the sun shines” just meant to have a good time.
But, still, I was teaching English. I worked hard, taking time off only to eat and sleep. And then there was my sixth-grade class ---- seventeen boys and five girls who were only six years younger than me. I had a problem long before I knew it. I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher. I wanted to make literature come alive and to promote a love of the written word. The students wanted to throw spitballs and whisper dirty words in the back of the room.
In college I had been taught that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior. So I did, confident that, as the textbook had said, the bad behavior would disappear as I gave my students positive attention. It sounds reasonable, but the text evidently ignored the fact that humans, particularly teenagers, rarely seems reasonable. By the time my boss, who was also my taskmaster, known to be the strictest, most demanding, most quick to fire inexperienced teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, the students exhibited very little good behavior to praise.
My boss sat in the back of the room. The boys in the class were making animal noises, hitting each other while the girls filed their nails or read magazines. I just pretended it all wasn’t happening, and went on lecturing and tried to ask some inspiring questions. My boss, sitting in the back of the classroom, seemed to be growing bigger and bigger. After twenty minutes he left, silently. Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes.
I felt mildly victorious that I got through the rest of class without crying, but at my next free period I had to face him. I wondered if he would let me finish out the day. I walked to his office, took a deep breath, and opened the door.
He was sitting in his chair, and he looked at me long and hard. I said nothing. All I could think of was that I was not an English teacher; I had been lying to myself, pretending that everything was fine.
When he spoke, he said simply, without accusation, “You had nothing to say to them.”
“You had nothing to say to them”. he repeated.” No wonder they are bored. Why not get to the meat of literature and stop talking about symbolism. Talk with them, not at them. And more important, why do you ignore their bad behavior”? We talked. He named my problems and offered solutions. We role-played. He was the bad student, and I was the forceful, yet, warm, teacher
As the year progressed, we spent many hours discussing literature and ideas about human beings and their motivations. He helped me identify my weaknesses and strengths. In short, he made a teacher of me by teaching me the reality of Emerson’s words: “The secret to education lies in respecting the pupil.”
Fifteen years later I still drive that same winding road to the same school. Thanks to the help I received that difficult first year, the school is my home now.

Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours (绕行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.
For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents’ home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement (限制) and have strong opinions about everything.
Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.
But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.
That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They’d get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.
We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons (见识).
We eventually arrived at my parents’ doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.
I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.
Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey—and the best part of yourself.
小题1:Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents’ home?
A.It was less tiring.
B.It would be faster and safer.

C. let the kids play with Banner.
小题3:What does the author discover from the trio according to Paragraph 6?
A.Freeways are where beauty hides.
B.Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life.
C.Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one’s health.
D.One should follow side roads to watch wild animals.
小题4:Why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on their way back home?
A.To give herself some time to read.
B.To order some food for them.
C.To play a game with them.
D.To let them cool down.
小题5:What could be the best title for the passage?
A.Charm of the Detour
B.The Road to Bravery
C.Creativity out of Necessity

Doctor are known to be terrible pilots. They don"t listen because they already know it all. I was lucky: I became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didn"t realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather. I learned about crew resource management (机组资源管理), or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions.
I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down. He was a better pilot - and my boss - so it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness and said, "We need to put the landing gear down now!" That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and I"ve used it in the operating room ever since.
CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn"t overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I"m in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they"re not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them , someday someone will keep me from “landing gear up”.
小题1:What dose the author say about doctors in general?
A.They like flying by themselves.
B.They are unwilling to take advice.
C.They pretend to be good pilots.
D.They are quick learners of CRM.
小题2:The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when_______.
A.he saved the plane by speaking up
B.he was in charge of a flying task
C.his boss landed the plane too late
D.his boss operated on a patient
小题3:In the last paragraph”landing gear up” probably means ______.
A.following flying requirements.
B.overreacting to different opinions.
C.listening to what fellow doctors say
D.making a mistake that may cost lives
小题4:Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.CRM:A New Way to Make Flying Safe
B.Flying Makes Me a Better Doctor
C.The Making of a Good Pilot
D.A Pilot-Tumed Doctor
