Travelling abroad一、閱讀理解。When Marine Hayashi first arrived at American University in 2013,she was a little afraid.“I got homesick and I cried almost every day when I was in freshman year.And also,since English is my second language,I worked very hard.” Hayashi is originally from Hokkaido in the north of Japan.After three years at an international high school,she decided to attend a university in the U.S.Also,both of her parents earned graduate degrees from universities in the U.S. It was not long before Hayashi started enjoying her life as an international student.Joining three student groups helped her make friends from the U.S.and other countries. Hayashi will graduate next year with a four­year degree in munication Studies.Her university experience is different from that of many young people around the world,though.Hayashis parents are paying for all of her tuition.The cost of an undergraduate degree program as an international student at American University is $61,157 a year. Not all international students have enough money to pay full tuition.Many international students are finding other ways to pay the high cost.Some students avoid the cost pletely. Students usually ask for financial aid when they first apply to a university.Most universities decide which students receive financial aid based on students academic history. The cost for international students at most U.S.universities is higher than it is for citizens.But the yearly tuition at University of Wisconsin-River Falls for international students is $22,000.This is the same tuition rate for students who are citizens from states other than Wisconsin.Also,international students immediately receive $2,000 a year in financial aid once the university accepts them.Students who perform well academically can receive up to $4,000 after their first year. Studying in a country that is not your own country can be difficult.Life can be lonely and the cost may be high.But Hayashi says that the experience is worth it.1.What was Hayashi going to do after three years at a high school in the U.S.?A.Go to an American international high school.B.Work hard at her second languageEnglish.C.Receive her college education in the U.S.D.Help her parents earn graduate degrees.2.How can international students get financial aid?A.By asking a university for free education.B.By finding universities with scholarships.C.By applying to a university for a scholarship.D.By presenting a wonderful academic history.3.Whats Hayashis attitude towards her study in the United States?A.Positive.B.Optimistic.C.Critical.D.Grateful.參考答案： 1.C; 2.C; 3.A解析： 1.推理判斷題。在美國(guó)上了三年高中之后,Hayashi決定在美國(guó)讀大學(xué)。由第二段第二句After three years at an international high school,she decided to attend a university in the U.S.得出。2.推理判斷題。外國(guó)學(xué)生可以向大學(xué)申請(qǐng)獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金。由第六段第一句Students usually ask for financial aid when they first apply to a university得出。3.觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。作者對(duì)自己在美國(guó)的留學(xué)經(jīng)歷持積極肯定態(tài)度。由最后一段最后一句But Hayashi says that the experience is worth it得出。二、單句語(yǔ)法填空1Choosing an _ (occupy) takes time, and there are a lot of things you have to think about.答案：occupationoccupy為動(dòng)詞“占用；占領(lǐng)；占據(jù)”；occupation名詞“占領(lǐng)；職業(yè)；工作”。由設(shè)空前的冠詞an可知此處應(yīng)填名詞。2Were it not for science, we could not live a _ (fort) life.答案：fortable此處需用形容詞修飾名詞life。live a fortable life “過(guò)一種舒適的生活”。3It is _ (acknowledge) that China has bee one of the strongest countries in the world.答案：acknowledgedIt is acknowledged that . “人們認(rèn)為/據(jù)認(rèn)為”。4I remend him _ (think) very carefully before he does anything foolish.答案：to thinkremend sb. to do . “建議某人做某事”。5It is required that the new employees _ (provide) safety training before they start to work.答案：(should) be providedIt is required that . (should) do . “據(jù)要求”為固定句式；此處從句主語(yǔ)employees與所給動(dòng)詞之間為被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。6To finish the job in an hour is out of _ question.答案：theout of the question “不可能的”。7As far as Im _ (concern), its time to share some secrets with you.答案：concernedas far as Im concerned “在我看來(lái)；就我而言”。8He got the first prize in the petition, _ was a surprise to his parents.答案：which該句為which引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，指代主句提到的整件事，在從句中作主語(yǔ)。9Who do you _ (think) is fit for the job?答案：thinkdo you think在句中作插入語(yǔ)，構(gòu)成“特殊疑問(wèn)詞do you think陳述語(yǔ)序”結(jié)構(gòu)。10She wondered _ to win the game.答案：how“特殊疑問(wèn)詞to do”在該句中充當(dāng)賓語(yǔ)，此外還可以充當(dāng)主語(yǔ)、表語(yǔ)等。三、完形填空。閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出可能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。A Letter to My DadFour years ago

Dconversation【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】你以為你對(duì)他的愛(ài)很深沉，這是你了解的；你不了解的是，他對(duì)你的愛(ài)比你的深沉一萬(wàn)倍。對(duì)父母的愛(ài)，要怎么才說(shuō)得出口？別太晚。如果沒(méi)有勇氣當(dāng)面表達(dá)，就寫(xiě)封信來(lái)告訴他。1B四年前作者發(fā)現(xiàn)父親身患癌癥，癌細(xì)胞已經(jīng)擴(kuò)散，因此，此處指不知道還能活多久。how long you had left是“你還剩下多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間”的意思，left用作后置定語(yǔ)。故選B項(xiàng)。2C根據(jù)該空后的people older than me可判斷，作者以為父(母)親垂死這件事只會(huì)發(fā)生在比他年齡更大的人身上。故選C項(xiàng)。3Din doubt意為“懷疑”；in anger意為“生氣地”；in vain 意為“徒勞無(wú)益地”；in shock意為“震驚地；吃驚地”。聽(tīng)到父親患癌這件事，作者當(dāng)然是長(zhǎng)時(shí)間地感到震驚。故選D項(xiàng)。刷有所得方法：做完形填空題時(shí)，有些題要注意該空前后的介詞、副詞等。有時(shí)需要分別把選項(xiàng)與前后的介詞、副詞相搭配，再判斷它們搭配后哪個(gè)短語(yǔ)的意思更符合上下文的邏輯。4A根據(jù)下文But there was nothing I could do.可知，作者什么都做不了，由此可推測(cè)，此處指作者感到無(wú)能為力。powerless意為“無(wú)能為力的”；nervous意為“緊張不安的；焦慮的”；lost意為“迷路的；不知所措的”；bored意為“厭煩的；煩悶的”。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知選A項(xiàng)。5A根據(jù)下文and take the cancer

here可知，作者的父親對(duì)治療反應(yīng)很好并且依然還活著，所以作者一家感覺(jué)是幸運(yùn)的(lucky)。故選B項(xiàng)。confused意為“困惑的；混亂的”；active意為“積極的”；hopeless意為“沒(méi)有希望的”。7C父親的治療效果很好，“我們”很幸運(yùn)，雖然不知道父親還能堅(jiān)持多久，但是他還活著。better意為“更好”；deeper意為“更深”；longer意為“更長(zhǎng)久”；further意為“更遠(yuǎn)”。故選C項(xiàng)。8B根據(jù)設(shè)空后的everything

rule意為“不成文的規(guī)則”，符合語(yǔ)境。故選D項(xiàng)。10A根據(jù)下文的Youre a man conservative和You keep them to yourself可知，父親很保守，所以這一不成文的規(guī)則阻止了父愛(ài)的表達(dá)。prevent意為“阻止；防止”；change意為“改變”；destroy 意為“破壞；摧毀”；transform意為“使改觀；使轉(zhuǎn)化”。故選A項(xiàng)。11Bguarded意為“謹(jǐn)慎的”，結(jié)合下文的You keep them to yourself可知，此處指父親是一個(gè)保守的、對(duì)情感(feelings)謹(jǐn)慎的人。conservative and guarded with your feelings作后置定語(yǔ)，修飾前面的a man。故選B項(xiàng)。illness意為“疾病”；belongings意為“所有物”；opinion意為“觀點(diǎn)”。12B根據(jù)前文對(duì)父親的描述conservative, guarded with your _可知，父親收斂自己的感情，希望別人也這樣做。require意為“要求”；expect意為“期望；盼望”；allow意為“允許”；persuade意為“勸說(shuō)；說(shuō)服”。故選B項(xiàng)。13C根據(jù)下文的Ive seen your proud

help.可知，當(dāng)事情進(jìn)展不順利時(shí)，父親會(huì)主動(dòng)提供幫助，因此可知，父親是關(guān)心兒子的。power意為“力量；權(quán)力”；anger意為“憤怒；生氣”；curiosity意為“好奇心”；concern意為“擔(dān)心；憂(yōu)慮”。故選D項(xiàng)。16D結(jié)合下文I wish you could tell

looks可知，此處指作者希望父親能夠告訴他父親為他而自豪。conservative意為“守舊的；保守的”；brave意為“勇敢的”；proud 意為“驕傲的；自豪的”；helpful 意為“有幫助的”。故選C項(xiàng)。18A根據(jù)上一題解析及空后的masculinity可知，此處指作者希望這些荒謬的大男子觀念不會(huì)在他和父親的心中根深蒂固。absurd意為“荒唐的；可笑的”，符合語(yǔ)境。故選A項(xiàng)。important意為“重要的”；useful意為“有用的”；popular意為“流行的”。19C根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，此處指作者希望這樣的大男子觀念不要根深蒂固。lost

She brings us a lot of fun and happiness._答案：fort前加afort表示“舒適；舒服；安慰”講時(shí)為不可數(shù)名詞，作“令人安慰的人或事”講時(shí)為可數(shù)名詞，即此處為“抽象名詞具體化”的用法。2Occupying with various research projects all day, he was tired out._答案：OccupyingOccupied(be) occupied with . “忙著做；忙于某事物”，形容詞短語(yǔ)在句中作狀語(yǔ)。3Since he arrived in Beijing, he has adjusted to eat the northern food gradually._答案：eateating該詞組中的to為介詞，故后接名詞或動(dòng)名詞。adjust to (doing) sth. “適應(yīng)(做)某事”。4The question that many students are puzzled about is how improve their oral English._答案：how后加to“特殊疑問(wèn)詞to do不定式短語(yǔ)”在該句中作表語(yǔ)。5Charlie chaplin is acknowledged of one of the most outstanding edians in the history of cinema._答案：第一個(gè)ofasbe acknowledged as . “被公認(rèn)為/被認(rèn)為是”。五、短文改錯(cuò)In the village where I grew up, everyone knew an old man, that spent all his time in painting. People that lived in the village used to admiring his works and he often gave his paintings to his friends. Whether he was offered money, he would never take it. He said he painted for a pleasure. He once gave one of his paintings to my father, who actually wasnt interesting in art. Years later I found at our old house.
