[解析}:

21. B。利用句间的逻辑关系。A. discuss讨论;B. express 表达;C. announce通知;D. argue争论

根据In my application letter(在我的申请信中),可知作者应该是‘表达’自己的愿望,故选项B正确。

22. B。利用句间的逻辑关系。A. approved同意;B. knew 知道;C. warned警告;D. denied否认

根据前句可知作者在申请参加这个项目,所以,I … that I was going应该是我‘知道’了我要去,故选项B正确。

23. D。把握句内逻辑关系。A. stubborn固执的;B. anxious 急切的;C. universal宇宙的;D. interesting有趣的

根据making all sorts of new and friends 可知作者是在谈论交什么样的朋友,故选项D正确。

24. C。利用句间的逻辑关系。A. boring无聊的;B. upsetting 令人苦恼的;C. exciting令人兴奋的;D. promising有希望的。根据前句我们可知作者是盼着能交到新朋友,所以这里meeting people (见到许多人),一定是‘令人兴奋的’,故选项C正确。

25. A。利用上下文的线索。A. expected 预期的;B. liked喜欢的;C. doubted  怀疑的;D. feared害怕的。根据下文我们知道接待他的家庭发生变故,他不得不临时更换寄宿家庭,因此应该是与‘预期’不符,故选项A正确。

26. C。把握句内逻辑关系。A. sponsored 赞助;B. witnessed目睹;C.      greeted迎接;D. 支持。 根据句意可知他到达法国后,将成为他寄宿家庭的‘父母’自然应该是去‘迎接’他,故选项C正确。

27. A。利用句间的逻辑关系。A. until  直到…;B. when 当……时候;C. since 自从……;D. while在……期间。根据句意可知他一直感觉很开心‘直到’令人震惊的消息传来,故选项A正确。

29. C。利用句间的逻辑关系。A.   housekeeper管家;B. leader领导;C. roommate室友;D. colleague同事。根据后面的share a bedroom(共用一间卧室)可知应该是会有一个‘室友’,故选项A正确。

30. C。利用上下文线索。A. learn学习;B. appreciate欣赏;C. speak 说,讲;D. 精通。根据上文我们知道作者是到法国做交换生的,学习法语应该是此行的目的之一,所以他不想有一个讲英语的室友,怕自己禁不住诱惑而‘讲’自己的母语--英语,故选项C正确。

31. D。把握句间内的逻辑关系。A. combined 组合;B. fitted配合;   C. involved涉及;      D. placed安置。根据前面说了想要避免讲母语的诱惑,所以这里应该是要求不要与讲英语的室友‘安排’在一起,故选项D正确。

32. B。短语语义。A. added      添加;B.       introduced介绍;C. devoted致力于……;D.      adapted适应。根据句意可知,作者是把自己‘介绍’给新的室友,故选项A正确。

33. A。利用上下文线索。A.    term       学期;B.       week星期;C. month月份;D.      vacation假期。根据第一段末句的my term in France可知作者在法国要待一个学期,故选项A正确。

34. C。利用上下文线索。A.    presents 礼物;B.       suitcases       旅行箱;C. stories     故事;D.      dreams梦想。根据下文可知人们是在‘听’作者讲他的经历,所以他一定是带着很多‘有趣的故事’离开的法国,故选项C正确。

35. A。利用句间的逻辑关系。A.   surprised 感到惊奇的;B. disturbed 不安的;   C. embarrassed 尴尬的;         D. concerned关心的。根据句意我们知道当别人问起他的这次旅行经历的时候,作者讲的却是他和巴西朋友之间的事情,所以人们一定会感到‘很奇怪’,故选项A正确。

36. B。利用句内的逻辑关系。A. analyzing 分析; B. exploring     探险;C.      describing描述;D. investigating调查。整句话都是在谈论作者和室友在法国期间所做的事情,当然也会包括‘探险猎奇’,故选项B正确。

37. D。利用句间的逻辑关系。A.   need需要      B. shall   将,会; C. must必须; D.    can可能。根据句意,可知作者是说‘看似不同的人,结果却有可能变得非常相似’,这里表示的一种‘可能性’,故选项D正确。

38. C。把握句内的逻辑关系。A.   generous       慷慨的;B. independent 独立的;C.     similar   相似的;D. 遥远的。 句子的前半句用了different,后半句以but开头,明显与前面是转折关系,故选项C正确。

39. B。固定句型表达。A. and 并且;  B.    but  但是;C.      or    或者;D.      so。 所以。‘not … but… ’(不是……而是……)是一个常用的句型,意思是,不能单单要尊重法国人,而是要尊重所有的人,转折意思明显,故选项A正确。

40. B。利用上下文线索。A. instructions指令;B. friendships友谊;C. facts事实;D. data数据。文中作者用了大量的笔墨来叙述他和巴西室友的友谊,这对他来说应该是最有意义的东西了,故选项B正确。

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.”
