课时作业(四)　阅读专项 (建议用时：35分钟) Ⅰ．第一节 To better adjust to the life of studying abroad in the UK, we should learn about the forms of teaching at UK universities in advance． ★Lecture Many students will attend classes at the same time．Professors will explain professional knowledge and recent academic developments．The duration of a class is 1 to 3 hours． ★Seminars(研讨会) Seminars are generally held after the lecture, once a week or every other week, ranging from 30 minutes to 1 hour．A seminar includes communication between students and supervisors(导师)．The purpose is to discuss and analyze real cases based on the theories learned in lectures． ★Workshop If you are studying a practical major, such as engineering and artistic design, you will have workshops．The content of the workshop is usually to learn an auxiliary(辅助的) software, carry out a design in the school studio or do an experiment in the laboratory． ★Field trips Field trips are mainly aimed at students studying subjects like architecture and urban planning．For example, in the art appreciation major, professors usually take students to visit art galleries to experience the wonderful artworks up close, which is a much more vivid experience than just sitting in class． 语篇导读 主题语境：人与自我/学校生活。本文为应用文，主要介绍了赴英留学的学生需了解的英国大学的教学形式。 1．How long may a seminar last?

A．Remarking on．　　　 B．Setting about． C．Depending on． D．Writing down． 答案　B 解析　词句猜测题。根据画线词上文和转折词However以及下文such an adventure可推断，此处表示：在出发进行这样的冒险之前，需要做一些实用的决定。由此猜测该短语意为“出发”，与set about意思相近，故选B项。 5．Where did the author choose to live when moving to a foreign country?

But a part of studying abroad is about embracing (欣然接受) the inaccessible．I took Chinese in high school and fell in love with it．Ever since I started college, I was determined to study in China．Three years later, I made it happen． Of course, it was not easy．At the airport, people spoke English so I didn't worry too much about finding my way around．And then I met other foreign students who would become my best friends for five straight months．But once leaving the airport and downtown areas, we were fully immersed(沉浸) in China．I lived in a more suburb-like(类似城郊的) area, more residential than the rest of Shanghai．People always looked at us curiously as we went about our days and few of them spoke English．It was awkward at first．Slowly, as we got more used to the language, people talked with us．Of course, they wanted to know the differences between living in America and living in China． My roommate studied abroad in Ireland last semester while I was in China．There is nothing wrong with going to Europe, but if you want to broaden your horizons, I would suggest looking elsewhere．Living in a place that is so different from what I am used to gives me valuable experiences I can't get any other way．My Chinese teacher was so amazing and patient with us, and my other Chinese friends helped me through the difficult part of feeling out of place in the unknown．In a strange way, not being able to express everything I want brings me closer to people． 语篇导读 主题语境：人与自我/生活与学习。本文为记叙文，主要讲述了作者去中国留学的经历。 8．How did people feel when knowing the author's decision?
