【題目】 When I stepped out of Heathrow Airport, the British accents were music to my ears! The roads were so empty and traffic was so organized, with open spaces everywhere and so few people on the streets—what a difference from where 1 came—Mumbai. The difference was even more obvious after I had spent 21 years of my life living in that place. The streets were unfamiliar, and the faces were all foreign.
I boarded my bus for my university town. I felt like I had been in a fairytale book—the small houses, the quiet streets and the well-dressed people among other things. A small and beautiful three-storeyed building is quite a rarity back home and here, I have yet to see a building taller than that! Back home in India, the kind of rent I pay here could have afforded me a luxurious(豪華的) 2 bedroom-hall-kitchen apartment in a good location. But my accommodation here is the size of my bathroom back home! It’s just a fact... reality can be rude at times!
I really cherish the first day of my new university. I’ve met so many students from countries that I didn’t even know. But living alone in a new place, away from the protection of my family and friends, is a different experience altogether—a wonderful experience of further education!
It's been almost two months now. The novelty(新奇)is gradually disappearing, and the dust is settling down. It’s all just daily now but I feel fully settled. I really like this place. It feels like home!
【1】What does the underlined part “that place” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Heathrow Airport.B.Britain.
C.Mumbai.D.A university of India.
【2】What is the author’s first impression of Britain?
A.Dirty and noisy.B.Different but poor.
C.Hopeful and inspiring.D.Strange but beautiful.
【3】What does the author probably do?
A.An international student.B.A tourist from India.
C.A British college teacher.D.An unknown writer.
【4】What can we know from the last paragraph?
A.The author is less interested in everything because of dust.
B.The author still feels curious about everything around.
C.The author has been used to the new environment.
D.The author feels like going home after nearly two months.
【答案】
【1】C
【2】D
【3】A
【4】C
【解析】
這是一篇記敘文。文章講述了作者作為一名來自印度的留學(xué)生到英國后的所見所聞所感,以及從最初感到新鮮到陌生到最后適應(yīng)的過程。
【1】
詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第一段中what a difference from where 1 came—Mumbai. The difference was even more obvious after I had spent 21 years of my life living in that place. 這與我來到的地方——孟買有多大的不同。在我在那個地方生活了21年后,這種差別更加明顯。由此可知,that place指的是孟買。故選C。
【2】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段中The streets were unfamiliar, and the faces were all foreign. 街道是陌生的,面孔都是陌生的。以及第二段中I felt like I had been in a fairytale book—the small houses, the quiet streets and the well-dressed people among other things. A small and beautiful three-storied building is quite a rarity back home and here, I have yet to see a building taller than that! 我覺得自己仿佛置身于童話故事中——小房子、安靜的街道、穿著考究的人們以及其他事物。漂亮的三層小樓在我們家鄉(xiāng)是很少見的,我還沒見過比這更高的樓呢!由此可知,作者對應(yīng)該的第一印象是雖陌生但感覺很漂亮。故選D。
【3】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段中I really cherish the first day of my new university. 我真的很珍惜新大學(xué)的第一天。由此判斷出,作者是一名留學(xué)生。故選A。
【4】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段中It's been almost two months now. The novelty(新奇)is gradually disappearing, and the dust is settling down. It’s all just daily now but I feel fully settled. I really like this place. It feels like home! 現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)快兩個月了。新奇感正在逐漸消失,塵埃落定,F(xiàn)在每天都是這樣,但我已經(jīng)完全安定下來了。我真的很喜歡這個地方。有家的感覺!由此可知,作者已經(jīng)逐漸適應(yīng)了新環(huán)境。故選C。

【題目】How to Pick a Good Book
It’s not news that we spend more time texting and surfing online than ever. But a recent study shows that more teenagers are reading good old-fashioned and ink-on-paper books. Reading is a good way to widen your knowledge and learn about yourself. You probably know how to find the best application programs for your phone. 【1】
1.Start with your interests
Reading on your own isn’t like reading for school. 【2】It could be ancient martial arts, computers, or fashion design. If you can name the subject, you can find books about it.
2. Find your “type”
【3】 Books of fiction, like novels or short-story collections, can transport you to another world or help you to imagine something beyond your own experience. Not all fiction is the same. Try some different types of fiction and see which one you prefer. Non-fiction books give you the “who”, “what”, “when” and “why” of something. They tell stories using facts, but that doesn’t mean they are dull.
3.Read the “blurb(簡介)”
The reviews and quotes on the back and inside covers of many books are known as “blurbs”. These comments not only give you an idea of what the book is about, but also help you to pick out future books. If you find a book you really like, take a minute to read the blurb and see which authors praised the book.【4】
4. 【5】
Your local library can provide you with a lot of great books. Explain your interests and mention any writer you like, and the librarian can point you towards books that you will like. Then you can enjoy what you’re reading in a quiet place.
A. Often,theywillhavesimilarstyles, andyou might find you like books by those authors, too.
B. Youcanpicksomethingthatsuitsyour interests.
C. Read in aquietplace.
D. Doyoupreferfictionornon-fiction?
E. Askanexpert.
F. It isnecessarytoworkoutwhat thebook ismainlyaboutbeforereading.
G. Butdoyouknowhowtopickabookthat youwillreallylike?

【題目】Canada: off the beaten track — three to see
Rocky Mountains
The Rockies run along the Alberta-British Columbia border and are inside two huge national parks — Banff to the south and Jasper to the north. Banff was Canada’s first wildlife reserve and these days the town of Banff is the most popular tourist destination in the country. But Jasper National Park is larger, wilder, and less well-explored. Between the parks of Banff and Jasper is the Columbia Icefield, a huge bowl of ice made up of about thirty glaciers. If you don’t like ice, the Rockies offer wildlife walks, swimming, camping, hiking, canoeing, mountain climbing, and plenty of places to stay. Accommodation costs(住宿費)are usually lower at the Jasper end of this superb mountain playground.
Lunenburg
Lunenburg is south from Halifax, along a foggy coast of rocky seas, fishing villages, and historic towns. It is a beautiful little shipbuilding town and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Fishing has always been big in Lunenburg: most of Atlantic Canada’s deep-sea fishing boats leave from here, and North America’s biggest fish-processing factory is located in the town. Lunenburg still has many wooden buildings and as a result feels like an 18th century British colonial(殖民時期的)town. You can visit the town’s Fisheries Museum or just wander around, looking at the wooden houses in the old streets — and of course have a dinner of seafood.
Churchill
One of the few places in the north that is “easy” to get to, Churchill is a 1.5-day train journey from Winnipeg. Churchill is a major port, but eco-tourism is becoming more and more important. Although it is freezing, many visitors come to see the polar bears, whales, Arctic foxes, and if they are lucky, the Northern Lights. Churchill calls itself the “Polar Bear Capital of the World”, and for a good reason: the town sits right in the middle of the animals’ migration route, and the cute but deadly white bears sometimes wander into the town. Tours to see the bears from September to November are the most popular attraction.
【1】Which of the following was Canada’s first wildlife reserve?
A.Banff.B.Jasper.
C.Halifax.D.Winnipeg.
【2】What do we know about Lunenburg’s fish-processing factory?
A.It is now a museum.B.It is a wooden building.
C.It was built in the 18th century.D.It is the largest in North America.
【3】What do most visitors to Churchill want to see?
A.Whales.B.Polar bears.
C.Arctic foxes.D.The Northern Light.
