As China opens its doors, studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students. They would like to know the world well. It's true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Language skills will be improved and it may be much e 70 to find jobs. But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the f 71 one. Students must spend a lot of time l 72 another language and getting used to a different culture Students must also learn to live w 73 parents' care and do with all kinds of things they haven 't had to do before, like looking after themselves. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well. F 74 , studying abroad brings a heavy burden to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. Is it worth? We know that there are many famous people who have been s 75 in great things through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he w 76 a gold medal at the Athens Olympics. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, consider whether studying abroad is the right choice. D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）：（6分） Big floods in Beijing and Tianjin last summer took the lives if nearly one hundred people. Most of them drowned, but a few people were electrocuted by power lines falling into the water. Cites like Beijing do not often experience big floods -it was called a once-in-a-hundred-year event-and the people in the cities were unprepared when the disaster came. Climate change seems to be making “unlikely” weather events such as floods more common and it only makes sense to prepare ourselves for when disaster strikes. In the case of floods, just learning to swim won’t help you much. The water flows so fast and is so filled with floating debris（碎片）that even Olympic gold medal winner Ye Shiwen would have troubles keeping her head above water. The first thing you should do is to take the warnings of heavy rains or typhoons seriously. You should stay home, listen to the news reports and wait for the waters to subside（回落）. If you live at ground level, move to a higher level. You should also call people to tell them you are safe so that they don’t risk their lives searching for you. It’s also a good idea to have a “grab” bag (an emergency bag)”ready at home filled with power bars（能量棒）,a flashlight and bottles of water. In a flood , the electricity is often knocked out and drinking water-becomes contaminated（被污染的）. The most important thing is to stay calm and be patient. It’s the best way of keeping your head above water. 77. The people in Beijing and Tianjin got prepared when big floods came, didn’t they? _______________________________________________________________. 78. Why would Ye Shiwen even have trouble saving herself if a flood comes? ______________________________________________________________. 79. Is it important to take the warnings of heavy rains or typhoons seriously or not? _____________________________________________________________. 80. How can we stop people risking their lives searching for us in a flood? We can stop people by ____________________________________________. 81. What should we put into our “grab bag”? ______________________________________________________________. 82. What will you do if a flood comes? Tell me your reason(s), please. _____________________________________________________________. 以下是这份试卷的答案及解析： **Part 1 Listening** （由于没有听到听力内容，无法提供具体的图片选择答案） **Part 2 Vocabulary and Grammar** 26.
