Question

【題目】Do you want to travel to cool places, meet foreigners, and learn a foreign language? If you want, consider a study-abroad program. No matter what country you live in, you can learn world trade in Japan, study art in France, or take dancing lessons in Ghana.

Besides the excitement of travel, one reason to study abroad is that you will experience new customs, holidays, food, art and music. Andrew was a student who once studied in France. He said, “I learned French and now I can speak French fluently. When I was in France, I learned about cultures, people and myself. I learned a lot from the stand of a native member of the country, not from a tourist’s stand.”

Another reason for studying abroad is that you’ll gain self-confidence. Christina studied in Caracas, Venezuela, a city of 10 million people. The city is different from her hometown. Christina said she learned how to express herself in another language. That made her more confident.

Living away from home can also help you adjust in the transition to college and adulthood. Matthew said he returned from studying in Australia with confidence and practical knowledge. “After studying abroad in high school, I found the transition to college to be easy. Being 560 miles from home didn’t seem particularly daunting（使人畏縮的） after having lived thousands of miles away.”

【2】D

【3】D

【解析】本文是一篇說明文，主要講述了國外留學(xué)的好處，大致列舉了幾個方面的原因，可以經(jīng)歷外國的風(fēng)俗、節(jié)日、食物、藝術(shù)與音樂，可以增強自信心，還能幫你適應(yīng)大學(xué)和成年期的過渡。此外，文章還列舉了幾個人物的例子，分別對應(yīng)說明了國外留學(xué)的好處，通過這些來勸說人們加入到國外留學(xué)的計劃中來。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“one reason to study abroad is that you will experience new customs, holidays, food, art and music”出國留學(xué)的原因之一是你會經(jīng)歷新的風(fēng)俗、節(jié)日、食物、藝術(shù)與音樂，之后“Another reason for studying abroad is that you’ll gain self-confidence”另一個留學(xué)的原因是你獲得了自信，以及“Living away from home can also help you adjust in the transition to college and adulthood”離家生活也能幫助你適應(yīng)大學(xué)和成年期的過渡，可以得出本文主要描述了三個在國外留學(xué)的原因。故選B。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“He said：“I learned French and now I can speak French fluently. When I was in France, I learned about cultures, people and myself. I learned a lot from the stand of a native member of the country, not from a tourist’s stand.” Andrew學(xué)習(xí)了法語并且現(xiàn)在可以流利的說法語，當他在法國的時候，他學(xué)習(xí)了文化、人物和他自己，他是以本國人的立場學(xué)到很多東西，而不是以一個旅游者的角度，D選項強調(diào)學(xué)習(xí)當?shù)氐奈幕�，文中突出的就是他在法國時以當?shù)厝说牧�場學(xué)到很多東西。 A選項和C選項在文中有關(guān)Andrew的事跡中沒有提及，B選項強調(diào)的是在旅行過程中，不合題意。故選D。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“If you want, consider a study-abroad program”如果你樂意，考慮一下國外留學(xué)計劃，以及分析全文，主要圍繞在國外留學(xué)的好處可知，文章的目的就是為了勸說大家加入到國外留學(xué)的計劃中來。故選D。
