Here are some answers. You know those Hollywood films where the foreigner is living a nice, easy, comfortable life in another country? Well, forget it — that’s not how it is. You have to do all kinds of things like finding somewhere to live, paying bills, and so on. These things aren’t easy and they take time. After a few weeks I start to miss all kinds of things (and people) from back home. The special food, those TV programmes, and the friends whom I used to hang out with. Well, I know it’s a phase I have to go through. I hope the homesickness won’t last forever. Before I came, I thought my French was pretty good. But now I know I’m not good enough. People talk to me in the way they talk to each other — fast! There’s new vocabulary which you have to pick up — the first time I went to a hairdresser, I didn’t know what to say! Speaking French all day wears me out. Often, at night, I’ll watch anything on TV in English! Anything! 16. What does Becca think of her life in France? A. It’s really fun and nice. B. She has to be on her own. C. She gets no chance to study. D. It’s the easy life that she wants. 17. What’s the biggest challenge for Jackie? A. Language problems. B. Homesickness. C. No friends to play with. D. Getting used to the food. 18. In which situation can we probably hear the above three answers? A. On a magic show. B. In a science movie. C. In a street interview. D. At a music concert. B Riace is a small village in Italy, which is very pretty but also quite poor. Riace once had a population of 3,000, but in the 1990s, many people left the village to find work in other places. The only school closed. There were no restaurants and very few shops. Many houses were empty. Riace was becoming an empty town. But these days it’s a different story, because of one man whose dreams have turned Riace into a village with a future. One day in 1998, Domenico Lucano, a teacher from Riace, was driving near the sea when he saw a large group of people on the beach. They were refugees (难民). Lucano had an idea of how to help these people and how they, in turn, might possibly help him save his village. He decided to welcome them into the village and to give them food and living places in return for work. It was the beginning of a plan. Lucano created an organization called City of the Future. The idea was simple: The village began to welcome refugees from Somalia, Iraq and other places. Lucano used buildings which had been empty for years to house the new arrivals (到达者), and he created workshops for them to work in. Riace is now home to about three hundred refugees, who live happily alongside the locals. Most of the women make handicrafts to sell in local shops, while the men repair empty houses to rent (出租) to tourists. And because there are more children, the school is open again. Lucano, who became mayor of Riace in 2004, has managed to create jobs and to stop the villagers moving away, while at the same time helping some of the poorest people in the world. 19. Why did many people leave Riace in the 1990s? A. There weren’t enough jobs. B. The population increased fast. C. The local shops were closed. D. People didn’t like the weather. 20 What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. Why Lucano went on a holiday on the beach. B. How Lucano came up with the idea to save Riace. C. What Lucano had succeeded in helping the homeless. D. When Lucano created an organization to change the village. 21. What can we learn about Riace from the passage? A. Refugees needn’t do anything for food. B. New houses are built to welcome refugees. C. There are still no schools in Riace these days. D More villagers choose to stay and live in Riace. 22. What can be the best title for the passage? A. New Arrivals of Italy. B. A Way of Helping Refugees. C. Studying hard for a Better Future. D. Bring A New Life to the Village. C For centuries, the power of Chinese emperors (皇帝) fell with their control of the Grand Canal. Today, this waterway is shorter than it once was, but it is still the longest man-made river in the world. The first canal system began around the year 605. China’s Emperor Yang realized that he needed a better way to feed his army and move food quickly from China’s southern rice-growing area to the north. So he ordered to build the first part of the Grand Canal, connecting other canals, lakes and rivers. Grand Canal Over the next 500 years, the canal’s importance grew. However, by 1127, many parts had got worse. In 1279, Kublai Khan began to repair and build new parts of the canal. That created a more direct north-south way to and from Beijing. Future rulers continued to improve the waterway, and it became more and more important. Besides moving rice around China, the Grand Canal also connected the south and the north in other ways. Soldiers, businessmen and artists transported ideas, local foods, and cultures from one part of China to another. It’s said that is how Peking duck, a dish from Shandong Province, and the Peking Opera, from Anhui and Hubei, were both brought north through the canal. Even today, the country’s watery highway plays an important role in China. Boats carry tons of coal, food, and other goods to points between Hangzhou and Jining—now the northernmost city the canal reaches. This development comes at a price, though. “Traditionally we talk about 18 main cities on the Grand Canal, and each had something special about it,” said Zhou Xinhua, the former director of the Grand Canal Museum in Hangzhou. “But now many of these cities are all the same: a thousand people with one face.” 23. Why was the first part of the Grand Canal built? A. To help the army move quickly from the north to the south. B. To make people from the north be able to visit South China. C. To transport food from the southern part of China to the north. D. To improve the communication between the north and the south. 24. Why is the example of Peking Opera used in Paragraph 4? A. To explain why the Grand Canal was improved. B. To introduce the development of the Grand Canal. C. To tell the change of the Grand Canal’s role nowadays. D To show how the Grand Canal helped with cultural exchange. 25. Which of the following can best describe the Grand Canal in history? A. A transport tool. B. A national lifeline. C. A place of interest. D. A great gift of nature. 26. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. People in the cities on the canal live the same life. B. Each city needs to find its special way to develop. C. The development of the canal also brings a problem. D. Protecting the canal is not so important as it was before. D An affirmation is a strong and positive statement (陈述) of something that is said as a fact. Statements you make to yourself, such as, “I’m a good dancer” or “I can’t draw”, are self-affirmations. They matter because you hear your own voice all the time. So if you tell yourself you’re good at something, you’re more likely to have a go. Affirmations can help you or they can hold you back. Maria Evans, a coach for young people, says everyone has a voice inside their head that tries to protect them from risks. “It can stop us from doing things that feel big but exciting, like trying out for the school play or the basketball team. You don’t try so you never know what you are able to do, making you feel regret,” Instead, using positive self-affirmations builds your confidence. Evans says, “The sooner you can start telling yourself positive things, the more enjoyable your life will be.” To make your affirmation, think about the positive way you want to be or feel. For example, you may want to be brave or feel you can improve at Math. Now put that in a sentence and say “I am brave” or “I can get better at Math”. Avoid using negative (消极的) words, because if you say “I don’t feel scared” your brain hears the word “scared”. By focusing (聚焦) on the positive, your brain hears what you want to feel. Also, if the affirmation is short and snappy it will be easier to remember. Grace, 15, shares her self-affirmation, “When I’m feeling down and I have to do something like a test, I know that it’s useful to try and turn that around by saying to myself, ‘I am filled with energy, I can do anything I put my mind to, I am capable.’” 27. Why are self-affirmations important to us according to Paragraph 1? A. They pass on secret messages. B. They are facts telling the truth. C. They have great influence on us. D. They help us get special abilities. 28. What does the underlined part “a voice inside their head” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. A kind word. B. A serious idea. C. A wrong statement. D. A negative affirmation. 29. Which of the following is the right way to make an affirmation? A. Try to use simple and positive words. B. Write down how you feel in a sentence. C. Pay attention to what you hear in your brain. D. Think about both the good and bad sides of an event. 30. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To advise us to live an enjoyable life. B. To show us the power of positive thoughts. C. To encourage us to have a big dream for future. D. To teach us a useful way to change our feelings. 四、词汇运用 （本题有15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） A. 用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，每词仅用一次。 calendar discuss seven general electronic 31.
