B
Moving to a foreign country is an amazing, life-changing experience. It's an opportunity to meet new people, make yourself completely involved in a different culture and possibly learn another language. However, before embarking on such an adventure, there are some practical decisions that need to be made. One such decision is choosing where to live.
For me, choosing to live with a French family was the best choice I made, and here is why.
Firstly, a family can show you around the city or town and help you settle in, stopping you from feeling lonely. When you're in a new environment with people you don't know and who are speaking a language you're still not fluent in, you might feel lost, tired and homesick—I know I did. However, my host family were wonderful and welcoming;they showed me which buses to take to get to work, cooked dinner for me so we could eat together, and took me with them on trips to the beach, the theatre and even a bullring. These were great opportunities to experience French culture and build relationships, which in turn helped me feel at home and welcome.
Moreover, living with French people has been beneficial to helping me improve my language skills. Being constantly exposed to authentic French conversation has allowed me to learn new phrases, widen my vocabulary and even improve my accent. My host family are happy to answer my questions and correct me when I say things wrong, which makes me a better and more confident French speaker.
Finally, the experience of living abroad is one that you will remember forever, and perhaps the friendships—like the memories—will also last. Your host family might become your friends for life. You might return for their birthdays, weddings, holidays, and many more things. I sincerely hope to remain in contact with my host family long after I leave France because when I was away from my friends and loved ones, they welcomed me and made me part of their family.

5.Where did the writer choose to live when moving to a foreign country?

【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作者在国外住在寄宿家庭的经历及其好处。
4.解析:选B 词义猜测题。根据第一段第一、二句可知,在国外生活是一种令人惊奇的、改变人生的经历,是一个认识新朋友的机会,可以让你完全融入到不同的文化中,并且可以学习另一种语言。再根据转折词“However”以及画线短语后的“such an adventure”可知,在开始这样的冒险之前,需要做一些实际的决定。由此推断出,“embarking on”与B项“Setting about”意思接近,意为“开始”。故选B。A项“评论”;C项“依赖;取决于”;D项“散布”,均与语境不符。
5.解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段“For me, choosing to live with a French family was the best choice I made, and here is why.”可知,对“我”来说,选择和一个法国家庭住在一起是“我”做出的最好选择,下面就是原因。由此可知作者在国外生活时选择住在寄宿家庭里。故选C。A项“在宿舍”;B项“在他自己的公寓”;D项“在他朋友的房子”,这三项原文均未提及。
6.解析:选A 细节理解题。该题问的是和法国人住在一起的好处。根据第四段第一句“Moreover, living with French people has been beneficial to helping me improve my language skills.”可知,与法国人住在一起有助于提高自己的法语技能。故选A。B项显然不是好处;其余两项原文未提及。
7.解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第二段“For me, choosing to live with a French family was the best choice I made, and here is why.”和下文“Firstly...”“Moreover...”“Finally...”可推断出,作者是通过列举详细的理由来展开文章的。故选D。A项“通过作比较”;B项“按照时间顺序”;C项“按照重要性的顺序”,均与文章结构不符。
Ⅱ.七选五
Are you planning to study a course from a foreign university?Well, these tips for studying abroad will make you feel at home in a new city.

【语篇解读】 本文讲述了作者在美国夏威夷寄宿家庭的经历。
1.so 此处表示“雨下得如此大以至于我们不禁琢磨着要多久才能到那里”。so...that...“如此……以至于……”。
2.to get 此处考查“it takes sb. some time to do sth.”这一句型结构,表示“花费某人多长时间做某事”。
3.of 短语a pack of是固定用法,意为“一群;一盒”。
4.who 先行词是“their masters”且关系代词在从句中作主语,故用who。
