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 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. To avoid the temptation(诱惑) 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, 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 33 .
I left France with many 34 , so when people asked me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always 35 to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends 36 France we enjoyed together. I love how people 37 seem so different, but end up being so 38 . The most valuable lesson I gained from studying in France wasn’t just to respect the friend people 39 to 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 40 .

【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。
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"。

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.

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.”
