15.As an international student,you are probably not as comfortable listening and speaking as reading and writing in English.Here are some tips to help you strengthen your skills in conversation.
Make friends with American students.Many international students make friends only with each other,which I don't think is a good idea.(36)GBesides,it helps you pick up cultural and social cues(信号).
(37)ATell your American friends that you are trying to improve your listening and speaking skills,and would like them to help you.If you pronounce a word incorrectly,or misuse an idiom,you want them to tell you.You will learn much faster this way.
Expand your knowledge.(38)FIf you have been exposed to topics that are likely to be discussed in conversation,you have a much better chance of understanding people when they talk,and of being able to express yourself well.This helps you overcome both a culture gap and language barriers-and gives you a great excuse to watch TV.
Become a tutor at your school.(39)D,you try to find alternative ways to make yourself understood.I owe most of my fluent English to my years of being a math tutor in college.Tutors are also usually relatively well paid,so this is a good way to make some extra cash while improving your conversational English skills(40).C
A.Learn from native speakers.
B.Once you have trouble in the U.S
C.It's a win-win for international students.
D.If you have to explain something to someone in English
E.Learn which U.S.colleges welcome the most international students.
F.Read books,keep up with news and watch popular shows and movies.
G.Hanging out with natives naturally pushes you to improve your oral English.

分析 本文介绍了作为一名国际生更好的适应美国生活的几种有益方法.和美国人交友、向他们学习、多渠道拓展你的知识、做校园导师等方法使自己更好的融入美国社会,提升自己的英语水平和适应能力.

解答 GAFDC
36.G.考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力.一开始提出Make friends with American students,所以否认国际生之间交朋友的方式,而是鼓励和美国人交友,即Hanging out with natives naturally pushes you to improve your oral English.后面进一步叙述这种益处;故选G.
37.A.考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力.后面内容主要描述的是希望美国朋友在语言学校方面能够给自己的帮助,所以Learn from native speakers.正是本段叙述的重点;故选A.
38.F.考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力.本段的开头提供的方法之一就是Expand your knowledge.那么具体的内容应该是Read books,keep up with news and watch popular shows and movies.通过这些途径更好的融入当地人的会话和交流中;故选F.
39.D.考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力.该句后面you try to find alternative ways to make yourself understood是说你会努力找到相关的替代方法来表达你自己,那么前提条件应该是如果你想向别人解释某事物时,即if引导条件状语从句:D.If you have to explain something to someone in English,故选D.
40.C.考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力.最后这句话so this is a good way to make some extra cash while improving your conversational English skills点明了这种方法的双重好处,所以这是一个双赢的结果;故选C.

点评 本文属于七选五阅读理解,做此类题要在理解文章整体的基础上,补全所缺的部分.针对这个特点,解答时要注意语境和上下文的联系,同时还要注意文章的写作方法和结构.尤其要留心选项中的信息词(空格前后句子中与选项中相同或相近的词),站在作者的写作立场,选出最符合作者原意的句子.

10.Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy.Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and have more respectable jobs.But in the executive(主管的) circle,(31)itcan become a disadvantage.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder,it is(32)harmful(harm) to a woman.Handsome male executives are considered having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability usually lead(33)totheir success.Attractive female executives are considered to have less honesty than unattractive(34)ones;people do not connect their success with ability(35)butwith factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives are thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives.However,interestingly,the rise of the unattractive overnight successes(36)is connected(connect) more to personal relationships and less to ability.
Attractive women are not thought to be able.This is true even in politics.Anne Bowman,a writer,(37)whorecently made a study,asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs,one of men and one of women,in order of attractiveness.And then the students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices.They were asked to rank them again,in the order they would vote(38)forthem.The results showed that attractive males(39)completely(complete) defeated unattractive men,but the women (40)ranked(rank) most attractive by the students unchangeably received the fewest votes.
20.My husband Jeff and I moved into our new home in Scottsbluff last year just before Christmas.I did not have the (41)C or energy to carry out my traditional Christmas decorating and baking activities.What was the point,anyway?It was going to be a (42)A Christmas after all.
(43)B,the neighborly nature of west Nebraska residents started to trickle (陆续来临) in.

The (48)A feelings brought by these thoughtful gestures lasted longer than the food.
As Jeff and I were (49)B pre-Christmas snow from our driveway,Ernie Guzman came over from next door to (50)C us to dig out.
Then,we received an invitation to (51)B a Christmas Eve meal with our neighbors,Ernie and Nancy Sommer,and their (52)A-a 90-year-old lady,who also had no family in the immediate area with whom to spend the holiday.
Our Christmas Eve was quite merry,thanks to our (53)C.Our Christmas morning(54)D was special,thanks to the Smiths'gift of bread.I was so (55)C for these gestures of welcome,especially during the holidays.
This year,we were again unable to be with our families for Christmas.The (56)C and work schedules just made things too difficult.(57)A that sense of Christmas isolation (孤立) all too well,we decided to try to round up some other folks who were (58)C in the holidays.
Lonely people are all around us,but most of us (59)D notice them.Just take a look around you.Sometimes,the smallest(60)B gesture can make a world of difference.

6.Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children.Not caring about the money,parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England,the United States or Australia.(71)E The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is,the better it is.So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education.(72)F
However,what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap and they should teach them the most important skills they need to be confident,happy and clever.(73)G Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life.(74)C It is an enjoyable but difficult experience.A good cook always tries to improve his cooking,so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully.His result,a well-cooked dinner,will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.
Some old machines,such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest.He will spend hours looking at them,trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up.These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book,but rather to think,to use his mind.(75)B 

    A.But is it correct?
    B.And that is more important.
    C.Cooking demands patience and time.
    D.They also require their children to take a lot of tests.
    E.They also want their children to take extra-course activities.
    F.Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
    G.Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking,sewing and doing other housework.
