If you've just arrived back in the UK after a fortnight's holiday, small changes have probably surprised you—anything from a local greengrocer suddenly being replaced by a mobilephone shop to someone in your street moving house.
So how have things changed to people coming back to Britain after seven, ten or even 15 years living abroad? What changes in society can they see that the rest of us have hardly noticed—or now take for granted? To find out, we asked some people who recently returned.
Debi: When we left, Cheltenham, my home town, was a town of white, middleclass families—all very conservative(保守的). The town is now home to many eastern Europeans and lots of Australians, who come here mainly to work in hotels and tourism. There are even several shops only for foreigners.
Having been an immigrant(移民) myself, I admire people who go overseas to find a job. Maybe if I lived in an inner city where unemployment was high, I'd think differently, but I believe foreign settlers have improved this country because they're more openminded and often work harder than the natives.
Christine: As we flew home over Britain, both of us remarked how green everything looked. But the differences between the place we'd left behind and the one we returned to were brought sharply into focus as soon as we landed.
To see policemen with guns in the airport for the first time was frightening—in Cyprus, they're very relaxed—and I got pulled over by customs officers just for taking a woolen sweater with some metalmade buttons out of my case in the arrivals hall. Everyone seemed to be on guard. Even the airport carhire firm wanted a credit card rather than cash because they said their vehicles had been used by bank robbers.
But anyway, this is still a green, beautiful country. I just wish more people would appreciate what they've got.
16．After a short overseas holiday, people tend to ________．Cautiously.
B．Positively.Christine was shocked by ________．messy arrivals hall
C．the tight security
D．the bank robbers
19．Which might be the best title for the passage?
A．Life in Britain.
B．Back in Britain.
C．Britain in Future.
D．Britain in Memory.

Yours，课时作业(三十) 考查“be about to do when…”句型。此结构的意思是“正要做某事，就在这时……”，其中when相当于and just then，不可以用while, as等替换。 考查独立主格结构。“his hands fast tied”是一个由“名词＋过去分词”构成的独立结构，这种结构的名词后还可以接介词短语等，在句中通常作状语。 考查find后动词的非谓语形式。himself与surround之间为被动关系，因此用过去分词。 考查动词辨析。由语境可知，淘气的儿子弄坏“我”最喜爱的唱片，所以应该是发火，故选erupt，意思是“(因生气)突然发出(尤指叫喊)”。explode爆炸，爆发；promote提升，促进；ignore忽视，不理。 考查形容词辨析。由于(这里的人)来自世界各地，所以邻里关系比其他任何一个地方都更多样化。varied 意思是“多样化的”。 考查动词词义辨析。句意：在国内，有一个关于他是否愿意重新团结整个国家的先期测验，即他是否会任命民主党人加盟他的新内阁。entertain意为“招待，使愉快”；appoint意为“任命，指派，约定”；employ意为“使用，雇用”；attract意为“吸引，引起(注意、兴趣等)”。根据句意可知B项 考查动词辨析。句意：显然，男人与女人之间、富人与穷人之间，他们的希望、目标、恐惧和渴望有很大区别。vary 相当于 be different。alter 指“微小的变化”，不影响本质的改动；shift 指(位置、性质、形式等的)改变，转变；transfer 表示“将某物(人)由一处转移至另一处”。 考查名词辨析。句意：刻苦努力不是取得巨大成功的唯一保证，但它是基本条件之一。guarantee “保证”；signal “信号，暗号”；supposition “推测，推断”；sign “迹象，标记，符号”。 考查动词短语辨析。burn down (建筑物)烧毁，火势减弱；burn for渴望； burn up 烧得更旺，消耗；burn in 给……留下不可磨灭的印象。此处应是“把……烧毁”的意思。 考查固定短语。be anxious about…意为“对……感到担忧”。 考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知，所填的词在句中作目的状语，所以用动词不定式。 考查非谓语动词。句意：为了及时使项目完工，全体员工周末都在加班。不定式一般式作目的状语，故选D项。A项为现在分词表示主动，正在进行； B项为现在分词的完成式，表示此动作发生在主句动作前，已完成；C项为不定式完成式，表示此动作发生在主句动作前，已完成。 考查现在分词的用法。此处现在分词短语作结果状语，表示自然的结果 考查名词辨析。句意：在期末考试之前，许多学生已经表现出紧张的迹象……sign意为“征兆，迹象，病症”；mark意为“记号”；anxiety意为“忧虑，担心”；remark意为“评论”，均不符合题意。 考查非谓语动词的用法。补全为：Many car owners are driven by the rising…，也就是说，drive和其逻辑主语是被动关系，故用过去分词作状语，表示原因。句A
此篇涉及人们对家乡变化的关注，短期离家和长期离开家乡的人们对家乡变化的感悟是不一样的。 信息理解题。由第二段第一句“…small changes have probably surprised you…”可知答案。其他选项不能根据文章得出。 推理判断题。由第五段中“…but I believe foreign settlers have improved this country because…”可知B项正确。 信息理解题。由倒数第二段第一句“…policemen with guns in the airport…”及倒数第二段最后一句“…their vehicles had been used by bank robbers.”可知C为正确答案。 主旨大意题。第一段即为全文的主旨段，从全文也可看出文章讲的是离开家乡一段时间再回来，人们便会感知家乡的变化。文章讲述了Dan Phillips利用回收的垃圾作为建筑材料建房子。 推理判断题。回收利用垃圾应该是环保的、便宜的。由第七段“In addition, each house is highly energyefficient with plenty of insulation…”可知B也是优点。但是C并未提及。 推理判断题。由第三段的“The fantastic houses which spring from his imagination…”可知Dan Phillips充满想象力。由“Phillips founded Phoenix Commotion 12 years ago with the aim of creating a new model for sustainable housing.”可知他充满智慧。 推理判断题。根据文章可知所有的建筑都是用各种各样的回收垃圾做成的。这也正是这些建筑的特别之处。 主旨大意题。通读全文可知文章是关于Dan Phillips利用垃圾作为建筑材料建房子的，故选C。：，months. As for the question about the transportation to and from school, I'd like to recommend you to ride a bicycle. Here are some reasons.
Firstly, riding a bike to and from school is very common among the students, for buying or repairing a bicycle doesn't cost a lot. Next, parking a bicycle is easy and convenient in our school, no matter how busy the traffic could be. Actually, bicycleriding is also a practical way to do exercise and protect the environment. What you should do carefully is just to keep an appropriate speed while riding and lock it after you're off it. In this way, you'll feel it simple and relaxing to ride a bicycle while you're here.
Hopefully, what I've mentioned above could be helpful and wish you a fun time in our school.
Yours，
