Studying in France is turning out to be a great experience, but does living abroad also bring challenges? 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?

C. No friends to play with. D. Getting used to the food.

【18题详解】

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.
【答案】19. A 20. B 21. D 22. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了Riace曾经是一个贫穷且人口流失严重的小村庄,但在Lucano的努力下,通过吸引难民到村里工作生活,不仅为难民提供了帮助,也拯救了村庄,让Riace焕发了新的生机。
【19题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Riace once had a population of 3,000, but in the 1990s, many people left the village to find work in other places.”可知,Riace曾经有3000人口,但在20世纪90年代,很多人离开村庄去其他地方找工作。由此可知,20世纪90年代很多人离开了Riace是因为没有足够的工作,故选A。
【20题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“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.”可知,1998年的一天,Riace的一名教师Lucano在海边开车时,看到海滩上有一大群人,他们是难民;根据“Lucano had an idea of how to help these people and how they, in turn, might possibly help him save his village.”可知,Lucano想出了一个如何帮助这些人的办法,以及他们反过来如何可能帮助他拯救他的村庄。因此第二段主要讲的是Lucano是如何想出拯救Riace的办法的,故选B。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“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.”可知,Lucano在2004年成为Riace的市长,他设法创造了就业机会,并阻止了村民搬走。可推断出,更多的村民选择留在Riace生活,故选D。
22题详解】
最佳标题题。通读全文可知,本文主要讲述了Lucano通过吸引难民到村里工作生活,不仅为难民提供了帮助,也拯救了村庄,给村庄带来了新生活,所以最适合本文的标题是“给村庄带来新生活”,故选D。
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.
【答案】23. C 24. D 25. B 26. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国大运河的历史、作用以及现状。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“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.”可知,大运河第一部分是为了将中国的粮食从南方运往北方。故选C。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段首句“Besides moving rice around China, the Grand Canal also connected the south and the north in other ways.”可知,除了运输大米,大运河还以其他方式连接了中国的南北地区,接着举了京剧的例子,京剧是从安徽和湖北通过大运河带到北方的。由此可知,第四段举京剧的例子是为了展示大运河是如何促进文化交流的。故选D。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Over the next 500 years, the canal’s importance grew.”及“Future rulers continued to improve the waterway, and it became more and more important.”可知,大运河在历史上变得越来越重要,根据第四段首句“Besides moving rice around China, the Grand Canal also connected the south and the north in other ways.”可知,大运河除了运输大米,还以其他方式连接了中国的南北地区,促进了文化交流,由此可知,大运河在历史上是国家生命线。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段首句“This development comes at a price, though.”可知,大运河的发展是有代价的,结合后文“But now many of these cities are all the same: a thousand people with one face.”可知,大运河沿岸的许多城市现在都是一样的,由此可推知,大运河的发展也带来了问题。故选C。
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.
【答案】27. C 28. D 29. A 30. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了自我肯定的积极意义。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据“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.”可知,自我肯定的话语很重要,是因为你总是听见自己的声音,如果你告诉自己很擅长某个东西,你就可能去尝试,说明它们对我们的影响很大。 故选C。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“Maria Evans, a coach for young people, says everyone has a voice inside their head that tries to protect them from risks.”可知,这位年轻人的教练说道,每个人的头脑里都有一个声音,试图保护他们免受风险。因此a voice inside their head意为一种消极的肯定,即“a negative affirmation”。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Also, if the affirmation is short and snappy it will be easier to remember.”可知,简短和活泼的肯定话语更容易记住,说明要尽量使用简单积极的话语。故选A。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据“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.”可知,本文主要向我们展示积极思想的力量。故选B。

【34题详解】
句意:我到那里时,杰克正在和他的教练及朋友们讨论比赛。根据“Jack...the match with his coach”可知二人在讨论比赛,discuss讨论,是动词。时间状语从句是一般过去时,主句表述过去某一时刻正在发生的事情,用过去进行时,结构为was/were doing,句子的主语是第三人称单数,用was。故填was discussing。

Studying in France is turning out to be a great experience, but does living abroad also bring challenges? 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.

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.
