题目内容
18.Two weeks later,I registered for my course and started going to lectures.It was really difficult to concentrate at first,and I could only really pick up bits and pieces.Over time though,as my Spanish improved,it became a lot easier and a lot more interesting.I made friends with the other Erasmus students in my classes.It was difficult to get to know the Spanish students as most of them had already formed their own groups of friends and stuck to them.I did meet a few friendly Spanish people,but the vast majority of my friends were other foreign students.
I didn't really experience too much of a culture shock as I learnt a lot about the country through my major courses,but there were a few things that still took me by surprise,such asthe laid-back attitudeof the people.It meant life moved in general at a slower pace,which could be frustrating at times,but 1 soon grew to love it.
I didn't miss home too much as I kept in contact with family and friends online through Skype.It was also easy to get a cheap flight back for the weekend if I liked a weekend of home comforts.However,I was always so busy that I never really spared time for homesickness.My family came over a few times to visit and it was always good to have a fresh perspective(视角) on the city as they would appreciate things about Valencia I hadn't noticed or took for granted.
I have many fond memories of Valencia,especially the days spent on the sunny beach the brilliant food,the all-night party and the festivals.I'll definitely go back for a weekend with all the friends 1 met there and I hope to keep in touch with my Spanish friends too.I thoroughly recommend studying abroad,and although it may seem tough early on,the chances are you'll have a great time.

分析 整个文章讲的是:在作者到了的两个星期后,登记了他的课程,开始听课了.一开始,他很难集中注意力,捕捉到的只是只言片语.但是,过了一段时间,随着我西班牙语水平的提高,事情变得简单了,也变得更有趣了.接着写了作者在西班牙交了几个好友,通过进一步的学习,作者更多的了解了西班牙这个国家,以及那儿的人民,他们对生活悠闲的态度,作者感到吃惊.再写了作者对Valencia市美好的回忆和自己的家人的联系情况.留学结束,即将归国,最后向读者建议有机会一定要去国外留学.
解答 45、答案:B.根据第一段Over time though,as my Spanish improved,it became a lot easier and a lot more interesting.说明作者报名注册的时候,西班牙语很差,以致于开始时听讲座听不太懂捕捉到的只是只言片语.
46、答案:D.根据第三段It meant life moved in general at a slower pace,which could be frustrating at times,but 1 soon grew to love it.可知,总的说来,那里人们的生活节拍很慢,很快作者喜欢上了它.说明这个短语the laid-back attitude是"悠闲的生活态度"之意.
47、答案:C.根据第四段My family came over a few times to visit and it was always good to have a fresh perspective(视角) on the city as they would appreciate things about Valencia I hadn't noticed or took for granted.可知,作者的家人去过Valencia市几次,对Valencia市有一个全新的认识,并且喜欢上了那里的事物.所以作者的家人对Valencia市给与了高度评价.故答案选C.
