题目内容
16.Last summer I got a real taste of Swiss life when I spent six weeks with a host family in the Bernese Alps.On arriving in Erlenbach where my host family live,I knew I couldn't have asked for a better setting:it was such a beautiful mountain village.
And I couldn't have asked for a better host family,either.They made me feel like part of their family,rather than a tourist-I joined in my host family's day-to-day activities,whether helping pick berries in the garden or going to friends'houses.I wasn't only traveling around Europe seeing the major sights,but I lost myself in a different culture.
While many Swiss cultures are similar to America's,there are lots of differences,too.For example,most Swiss leave their windows open-without screens-all the time.At first I thought all the bugs(虫子)were going to get in and eat me alive,and wondered why they didn't close the windows and turn on the air conditioner.But then I realized there weren't many bugs and I really enjoyed the fresh air.
Probably my biggest shock was the language.I expected the Swiss to speak German,but they spoke a dialect called Swiss German,which has hardly anything in common with German.At times I was very frustrated(受挫的)because my three years of German did not help,but my bad mood did not last.Anyhow,many people knew English and were extremely willing to speak it.
Signing up for a cultural exchange was probably the biggest risk I ever took,but it was also the most rewarding.When I left,I promised I would return to Erlenbach.There is more to Switzerland than cheese and watches.
21.What the writer liked best about his stay in Switzerland was probably thatB.
A.he made lots of friends in the village
B.he felt a great sense of belonging there
C.he enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the Alps
D.he played a part in the host family's housework
22.How did the writer feel at first when he found his host family always kept the windows open?D
A.Relaxed.
B.Disappointed.
C.Excited.
D.Worried.
23.Why was the language the writer's biggest shock during his exchange visit?A
A.Because he had thought that the Swiss spoke German.
B.Because he found his German not good enough for communication.
C.Because the Swiss spoke English so well that he needn't have learned German.
D.Because the locals told him that Swiss German was almost the same as German.
