剖析： 1．此空填some表示“大约”．2．从下文看，in U. S. homes指世界上其他国家的学生：与美国学生：家庭一起生活，就像家庭成员一样，以体验生活． 3．青年学生：到不同的国家里体验生活，必然产生印象，故填impressions． 4．从上下文看，把青少年送到外国去，主要是让他们学习语言和增进对其他国家的了解，而且美国学生：也要到世界各国去，所以此空填languages用复数形式． 5．此处in return意思是“(作为交换)同样地”，指德国学生：Mike，也要到美国学生：Fred家里度过一年生活． 6．从上下文看，德国学校比美国学校要求高，纪律严，家庭情况也是如此，故填harder，表示“更加严格”． 7．此空填instead of，指德国学生：在校通常学习十四门课程，代替美国学生：在校通常学习的六门功课． 8．outside activities指学生：在户外及校外的活动，参照短文倒数第三句． 9．此空填law，说明父亲说的话就是法律，指说话算数，这与美国家庭情况不同． 10．此空填also表示递进关系，这里指美国学生：Fred住在德国学生：Mike家里，不仅饭食简单，就连小汽车也坐不上． 11．四个选项的短语动词所表示的意义不同：pick up接某人上车，搭载；get on上车；put on穿上，上演；take away拿走．句中地点状语in a car说明此空是指接朋友上车． 12．由上文Fred，nineteen，spent last year in Germany with George's family，得知，George的儿子Mike是德国人． 13．此空填level，表示根据我们的水平． 14．do nothing but do sth是一个固定句型，意思是“只做……”． 15．四个选项均为表示人身份的名词：officers军官；politicians政治家；citizens公民；athletes运动员．此处指为培养公民而训练学生：． |
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers(young people aged from13~19)from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.
Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.
Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected—much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.
Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.
“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”
At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize(批评)American schools,” he said. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”
