Question

【题目】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 travelling 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: 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 【9】 this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid the temptation to 【10】 my native language, I asked not to be 【11】 with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I 【12】 myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian 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 weekends 【16】 France we enjoyed together. I love how people 【17】 seem so different, but end up being so 【18】 . The most valuable lesson I gained from studying in France wasn’t just to respect the French people 【19】 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 【20】 .

【解析】到国外去交流、学习,可以使你开阔视野、欣赏美景,尤其是可以使你结识新朋友。文化背景、爱好各不相同的人成为兴趣爱好相同的挚友,你不认为很有意思吗?

【1】怀着到国外的美好憧憬,我在申请信中当然要仔细表述我多么希望看看法国。discuss讨论；express表述,表达；announce通知；argue争论,争吵。故选B。

【2】当我的申请得到允许,我知道了我将作为交换生被派往法国,我心中充满快乐是情理之中的事。approve同意；know知道；warn警告；deny否认。故选B。

【3】此处应该表示我将结识的新朋友的特点。stubborn固执的,顽固的；anxious着急的,焦急的；universal普通的,一般的；interesting有趣的。根据句意选D。

【4】该空所在的让步状语从句中的两件事都是作者乐意做的:traveling和meeting people。traveling was inspiring,那么meeting people的特点也一定与inspiring一样是一个褒义词。boring令人厌烦的；upsetting令人担心的；exciting令人兴奋的；promising有希望的。根据句意选C。

【5】尽管旅游令人欢欣鼓舞,结识新朋友令人兴奋,但是我却一点儿也没有预料到我本学期在法国的情况。expect预料；like喜欢；doubt怀疑；fear担心,害怕。故选A。

【6】我一到达巴黎,就受到一对法国夫妇的迎接。sponsor资助；witness见证,目睹；greet迎接,招呼；support支持。根据句意选C。

【7】在收到令人震惊的消息之前,我的感觉就是高兴、兴奋。此处的连词应该表示“在……之前”,所以可以用before或者until。故选A。

【8】法国夫妇要出国,我需要搬家。move搬家；travel旅行；walk步行；rush冲出,冲向……。故选A。

【9】词汇复现题。下文提到roommate,这里是该词的复现。故选C。

【10】到了法国,如果仍然与说英语的人同住,难免会说英语。这是作者不希望发生的。learn学习；appreciate欣赏,感谢；speak说；master掌握。故选C。

【11】为了避免说英语,我请求不与说英语的室友同住。combine联合,联系；fit合适,使……适合；involve包括,包含；place安排,使……在某处。故选D。

【12】我到了新房间后,向新室友做了自我介绍。add增加；introduce介绍；devote献身,致力,专心；adapt调整,使适应。故选B。

【13】词汇复现题。第一段最后一句提到my term,此处是该词的复现。故选A。

【14】我在法国做了很多事情,有丰富的经历。学期结束,我带着我的经历（故事）回国。present礼物；suitcase行李箱；story经历,故事；dream梦想,该词迷惑性很大。需注意,如果说我有梦想,也是我带着梦想来。故选C。

【15】从语境看,我的感受与一般人认为的不同,所以他们听到我的经历会感到吃惊。surprised吃惊的；disturbed被打扰的；embarrassed难堪的；concerned担心的。故选A。

【16】我谈到的是我的巴西朋友、上课时的时光、在城里的夜晚以及我们周末一起探索法国的经历。analyze分析；explore探索,研究；describe描述,描绘；investigate审查,调查。故选B。

【17】人们最初可能看起来并不相同,但是最后却十分相似。这里表示的是可能性,所以用can。故选D。

【18】该句中的连词but暗示出此处应该是different的反义词,所以用similar；generous慷慨的,大方的；independent独立自主的；distant遥远的。故选C。

【19】该题考查固定搭配。前面的not就意味着该空一定是but。

【20】逻辑推理题。我以我个人的经历向那些想体验外国文化、建立友谊的人推荐交流这一学习方式。交朋友是我的巨大收获,所以此处应为friendships。instruction指导,说明；fact事实；data数据。故选B。
