【题目】Choosing to Study Overseas

Every year, thousands of students choose to study in another country for a semester, the summer, or a year. Studying overseas can be an exciting experience for people.

1

Living in another country can help you to learn a language, and about another culture. You will see the world in a new way, and lean, more about yourself. 2 Many companies today want employees who speak a second language, or have experienced living or working in another country.

3

Once you decide to study overseas, you have to make some choices. To choose the right country or school, ask yourself: Where do I want to go and why? How much do I want to pay? How long do I want to study overseas? Do I want to live with a host family, with roommates, or alone?

4

Get your passport and visa (签证) early! Before you go, learn some of the language, and read about some common customs in your host country. Learn about the money. Bring some of it, and a credit card with you.

Once you are there.

After the first few weeks overseas, many students will feel a little homesick. They may miss their family, and familiar ways of doing things. 5 When you feel sad or homesick, try to talk to others, or write about your feelings in a notebook.

A. Get ready to go.

B. Make the right choice.

C. Why do you study overseas?

D. Get quick access to foreign universities.

E. Overseas study may also look good on your future resume (简历).

F. Remember that it takes time to get used to a new place, school, and culture.

G. As a study abroad you will pay tuition fees (学费) to the overseas institution.

【解析】这是一篇说明文到海外学习是令人激动的经历,介绍选择到国外学习要考虑的问题

1考查上下文的语境理解能力。下文讲到:生活在另一个国家可以帮助你学习一种语言和文化。对以后的求职有帮助。C项意思是为什么出国学习?能够概括本段意思,符合语境。故选C.

2考查上下文的语境理解能力。根据后一句意思是:因为今天许多想要会说第二语言,或有在另一个国家生活或工作经历的雇员。E项意思是:海外学习可能还对你未来的职业规划有好处。符合语境。故选E.

3考查上下文的语境理解能力。根据下一段第一句讲到:决定出国学习要做出很多选择,以及下文的意思“问问自己:我想去哪里,为什么?我想要花多少钱?我想留学多长时间?我想要与主人家庭,与室友,还是独自生活?”可知,B项“做出正确的选择”能够概括下文,作为本段的标题。故选B.

4考查上下文的语境理解能力。根据本段内容:早些准备护照和签证,了解要去的国家的钱,并且去之前学一些语言和阅读一些相关的风俗习惯。可知此段表示要准备出国。A项“准备出国”符合语境。故选A.

5考查上下文的语境理解能力。前一句的意思是:在海外的头几个星期,很多学生会有点想家。想他们的家人、 朋友和熟悉的做事方式。后一句的意思是:当你感到悲伤或想家时,试着和别人谈谈,或在一个笔记本中写下你的感受。所以这里选择E(记住,习惯新的地方、 学校和文化是需要时间的。)前后一致。故选F.

【题目】A safari park is a park in which wild animals are kept. They are mainly located in east or central Africa. They often occupy a very wild area, with mountains and rivers. To visit the park and look at the animals, people have to drive around — in a car for a few of hours because the park is huge.

In south Africa there is a safari park, which contains all sorts of wild animals like lions, elephants, rhinoceroses, zebras, wild pigs, deer and giraffes.

There is a wild road leading through the park, but nobody is permitted to walk on the road. Anyone traveling in the park has to go in a car because wild animals may fiercely attack people. From the car he may see almost every type of African wildlife. Some of these are getting scarce (稀有的) because people kill them for various reasons. For example rhinoceroses are killed for their horns, which are used in traditional Chinese medicines for colds and headaches. Perhaps they will be seen only in museums and books one day.

Travelers may purchase food for the animals. They can feed them when they tour the park. Of course, they should not feed them in a close distance because the wild animals may attack people. In addition, they should only give proper food to the animals.

【题目】Internationally famous sand artist Sudarshan Patnaik and 20 of his students created 100 sand sculptures(雕像) of Santa Claus on the Puri beach—setting the world record for the Most Santa Claus Images on Sand.

Patnaik, along with his students, created the Most Santa Claus Images on Sand in time for Christmas to deliver an environmental message to the world. The message,"Save Earth From Global Warming", has been carved(雕刻) into the sculpture itself. Patnaik said, "It took nearly 48 hours to create 100 Santas and Christmas trees. About 1,000 tons of sand was used in creating the statues."

Two little girls from West Bengal officially opened the exhibition with the Most Santa Claus Images on Sand at the beach on the eve of Christmas. "The girls were chosen for the event because children love Santas," Patnaik said.

"Puri is the place where sand art started in the 14th century and the inflow of tourists into Puri is another reason why I chose the awareness about global warming by carving images of Santa Claus," said Patnaik. "The popularity of Santa is growing by the year among children. The message on global warming through Santa is especially for them as they alone can convince elders to restraint(克制) and prevent the disaster for the earth from global warming."

"Myself and my students are putting in at least 10 hours every day in giving shape to the Santa Clauses," said Patnaik, who was recently felicitated by President Pratibha Patil at Puri for his achievement in the field of sand sculpting.

Patnaik has participated in more than 40 international sand sculpture festivals and competitions and won several prizes.

1What would be the best title for the passage?

A. The Most Santa Claus Images on Sand

B. Sand Art Attracts Tourists to Puri

C. Sculpture Exhibition Opens on Christmas

D. Children Join the Battle Against Global Warming

2What's Patnaik's main purpose in creating the sand sculptures?

A. To celebrate Christmas together with his students.

B. To make Puri better known to the outside world.

C. To send an environmental message to the world.

D. To educate children about the results of global warming.

3Patnaik seems to hold the view that .

A. tourists to Puri are mostly attracted by its art history

B. children today are becoming less interested in Santa Claus

C. parents are easily affected by children's words and actions

D. many art forms are seriously threatened by global warming
