Last spring, I was fortunate to be chosen to participate in an exchange study program. In my application letter, I was careful to 1 how much I wanted to see France; evidently, my excitement really came through in my words. Once I 2  that I was going, all I could think about was the fun of foreign travel and making all sorts of new and 3 friends. While traveling was inspiring and meeting people was 4 , nothing about my term in France was what I 5.       
The moment I arrived in Paris, I was 6 by a nice French couple who would become my host parents. My entire experience was joyous and exciting 7 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 8 out of one family’s house into another. The exchange coordinator told me I’d have a 9this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid the temptation(诱惑) to 10my native language, I asked not to be 11with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I 12 myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian(巴西人) the same age as I, whom I was surprised to find playing one of my favorite CDS! In just a few hours, we knew we’d be good friends for the rest of the 13 .      
I left France with many 14 , so when people asked me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always 15 to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends16 France we enjoyed together. I love how people 17 seem so different, but end up being so18 The most valuable lesson I gained from studying in France wasn’t just to respect the friend people 19to respect all people, for your next best friend could be just a continent away. I would recommend an exchange program to anyone who wants to experience foreign cultures and gain meaningful  20 .

【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。
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。
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。
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
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
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
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
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。
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。
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
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。
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
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"。
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。
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"
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。
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"。
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。
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。
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。
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"。

Last spring, members of Alaska’s Troop 34, based in Fairbanks, trudged (跋涉) out into the snowy wilderness to take part in their state’s Take a Kid Trapping program. In many parts of the state, beavers (海狸)are pests and need to be controlled.
The 10-to-12-year-old girls found out where beavers lived, set traps, and skinned the two animals they caught. The girls hope to catch ten more beavers so that the entire troop can make mittens and hats with the fur. They also want to cook beaver meat.
Troop leaders and members say the Scouts are doing a good deed by helping control the state’s beaver population. But animal-rights activists say trapping is cruel. They want the Girl Scouts to stop in their tracks.
Beavers aren’t only causing a problem in Alaska. Residents in Sampson County, N.C. , have turned to a local committee to help them battle the growing beaver population there.
County landowners are frustrated after the county spent more than $ 50,000 in eight years trying to reduce the beaver population through a government program. The joint state and federal program included paying money to trappers for every beaver carcass  they trapped.
Many local residents say that the program didn’t work because there were too few trappers. That’s why the county set up its own committee to investigate other ways to control the area’s beaver population.
The county will rely on its own beaver-trapping program. It has hired a trapper to set traps in various areas. The county will pay $10 for every beaver carcass.
Why do many people say that beavers are a nuisance? For beavers to survive, they need lots of water. Water provides the large rodent (啮齿动物)with a place to hide from meat – eating animals. Beavers also store food underwater for the winter. When there’s not enough water in a particular area, beavers get busy building dams.
Beaver dams can cause major flooding and damage to the surrounding countryside as the animals cut down trees to use in their construction projects. Beavers build canals to transport heavy objects.
59.What is Alaska’s Troop 34?
A.A team of the Boy Scouts.     B.An army.
C.A team of the Girl Scouts.     D.A sports team.
60.Why does the troop hope to catch ten more beavers?
A.To fulfill their task.        B.To sell them for money.
C.To get enough fur.   D.To exchange them for mittens and hats.
61.Which of the following statements is true?
A.Sampson County has to find a new way to control the beaver population there.
B.The government program in Sampson County has proved to be a success.
C.The local government has controlled the number of beavers in the County.
D.More and more trappers now start to set traps in Sampson County.
62.Local residents hate beavers because they can ___________.
A.cause damage to dams
B.block up canals with heavy objects.
C.do great harm to construction projects.
D.badly damage the environment and cause floods.

Music died here last spring, or rather, it was killed by members of the school committee who ignored the importance of music and drama as part of the high-school curriculum.
The committee decided that teaching students how to take a standardized test is more important than a curriculum in which students can explore their interests in the arts as well as academics. Because the school system is running out of funding, it needs to make sure that students pass the mastery test or even more money will be lost. If students fail the state standardized test, it is not the fault of drama and music classes— they are failing because the “ academic” classes are not sufficient.
It is painful to think of how many students will be discouraged from singing, acting, and playing instruments because school programs are no longer offered. Many families cannot afford private music lessons, and many potential musicians and artists may not find their calling if they are not exposed to it in school. The fact that the school committee thinks the arts are not worth the investment will certainly make some students believe the arts are not worth their time or support and the cycle will continue.
Teaching for a test does not shape students into complete, well rounded people. It blocks the natural sense to create and express feelings through art— there is more to life than the analytical thinking that math and English provide. What happens after a test? Sure, a student might graduate, but they will have limited knowledge — certainly not a good preparation for the real world.
【小题1】Music and drama are not included in the high-school curriculum mainly because________.

A.the school committee pays no attention to them
B.the school is afraid of losing financial support
C.the students are not interested in both of them
D.the state standardized test is more important.
【小题2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The sufficiency of the classes determines students’ performance in the mastery test
B.students can be musicians and artists only if they can afford private music lessons
C.The school committee completely influences students’ attitude towards the arts
D.Quite a few students are discouraged from music and art in today’s school system.
【小题3】We can learn that music and art can ________.
A.make students round-shaped people in future
B.provide students with analytical thinking
C.motivate students in creativity and expression
D.prevent students graduating from high school
【小题4】The best title of the passage can be ________.
A.Who Killed Music and Drama?
B.Can Curriculum Go Without Music?
C.Why is Music So Important?
D.How To Prepare For the Real World?

Nearly 600,000 Americans lost their jobs this past month, pushing the nation’s unemployment rate (失业率) 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 (监督) the enrollment (注册) 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 (转移). "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.
【小题1】Which is the best title for the passage?

A.The Falling American Economy
B.College Enrollment up in a Down Economy
C.Colleges Have More Students Than Before
D.Going to College Is No Longer Difficult
【小题2】According to the passage, many students return to school ______.
A.to make more moneyB.to read job advertisements
C.to complete a degreeD.to ask their schoolmates for help
【小题3】Many students are transferring to public schools mainly because ______.
A.public schools provide better education
B.public schools offer better jobs to their students
C.they don’t want to be influenced by the falling economy
D.the cost of public schools is lower and they can save money
【小题4】Which of the following is TRUE about Sherian Huddleston?
A.She is working more hours than before because of the worsening economy.
B.She is a student of Middle Tennessee State University.
C.She disagrees with those who are returning to school.
D.She is surprised to see the enrollment go up.

Many Chinese kids, known as "left-behind" children, hardly ever see their parents, because their parents are migrant workers.

      Li Ling, 11, is a left-behind child. Her parents have been working in Zhejiang for 10 years, while she lives with her grandparents in Guangdong. She was reunited with her parents last Spring Festival. As the number of migrant workers in China increases, the number of left-behind children is rising fast. Li is one of the 61. 02 million left-behind children under 17. They account for 37. 7 percent of rural children and 21. 88 percent of all Chinese children

     The large number of left-behind children has already become a social issue. If left unsolved, it will cause serious problems, Wang Zhenyao, director of the China Philanthropy Research Institute, told China Daily. The education level of adults supervising(监管) these children is generally not that high. They can only take care of the children's personal safety and daily living, being unable to care for their educational and spiritual needs. Meanwhile, the absence of parental support will make some left-behind children lack self-confidence. They may be slower in physical and emotional growth than their peers. Others may even become "problem youths".

     To solve this problem, the government is taking action. For instance, 30 provinces and cities have allowed certain children to attend school and take the college entrance exam in the city where their parents are. However, Wang suggested that the country do more, such as making policies encouraging migrant workers to work in their hometowns. He also said that a well-balanced child welfare system is needed. "These children are the future of the nation, so they deserve our loving care and protection," Wang said.

1.Left-behind kids hardly see their parents because _______.

A. they are poor and in rural areas

B. they are brought up by their grandparents

C. their parents are making a living in other cities

D. their parents don't go back home on Spring Festival

2.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Li Ling hasn't seen her parents for about 10 years.

B. Left-behind children have become problem youths.

C. There are 61. 02 million left-behind children in China.

D. Much remains to be done to settle the left-behind kids issue.

3.The purpose of the passage is _______.

A. to criticize the migrant workers who leave their children at home

B. to focus on the present situation of the left-behind children

C. to worry about the present situation of left-behind children

D. to call on the government to educate the migrant workers

4.In which column of a newspaper can we most probably find this passage?

A. Education.   B. Society.       C. Entertainment.     D. Employment.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

I was in Tokyo last spring, walking in the street and talking with my dear friend Kirsten. 71  It turned out to be a group of four very hip Japanese college students playing their music instruments for anyone who would listen.

72  In the middle of the second song, an old homeless man broke through the crowd and started shouting at the band. The musicians did their best to ignore him but the man would not go away. It seemed he was angry about the loud noise.

I remember there were probably two dozen people watching this. 73  I was also helpless because first, I couldn’t speak much Japanese, and second, the homeless man was starting to get more and more violent. At one point, he picked up a stick and started banging on the drum set.

This was more than the young drummer could take. He stopped playing, stood up and pushed the old man to the ground.

74  He knelt down next to the old man, took hold of his hands and asked him if he was alright. I couldn’t understand what was being said, but I will never forget the way this young man helped bring the fallen man to his feet. And I will never forget the way he carefully placed his arm around the old man’s shoulders and quietly walked him away.

75  Maybe this old man was a prince in disguise. And maybe he was waiting to see someone act, just once, with beauty and courage.

A.I couldn’t help but wonder.

B.All of them went away at once.

C.Suddenly, we heard the sound of a jazz band.

D.Everybody became angry with the old man.

E.But no one knew what they could or should do.

F.However, not everyone was enjoying the music.

G.At that time, a young Japanese man went through the crowd quietly.
