Last spring, I was fortunate to be chosen to participate in an exchange study program. In my application letter, I was careful to
21
how much I wanted to see France; evidently, my excitement really came through in my words. Once I
22
that I was going, all I could think about was the fun of foreign tgravel and making all sorts of new and
23
friends. While traveling was inspring and meeting people was
24
, nothing about my tern in France was what I
25
.
The moment I arrived in Paris, I was
26
by a nice frence couple who would become my host parents. My entire experience was joyous and exciting
27
I received some shocking news from my program coordinator(协调人): there had been a death in my host parents’ extended family. They had to travel outside France for several weeks. That afternoon, I had to
28
out of one family’s house and into another. The exchange coordinator told me I’d have a
29
this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid the temptation (诱惑) to
30
my native language, I asked not to be
31
with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I
32
myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian(巴西人) the same age as I, who I was surprised to find playing one of my favourite CD! In just a few hours, we knew we’d be good friends for the rest of the
33
.
I left France with many
34
, so when people ask me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always
35
to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and the scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends
36
France we enjoyed together. I love how peole
37
seem so different, but end up being so
38
. The most valuabe lesson I gain from studying in France wasn’t just to respect the French people
39
to respect all people, for your next best friend could be just a continent away. I would recommend an exchange program to anyone who wants to experience foreign culture and gain meaningful

段落 关键词 大意推测
第一部分（Para. 1） fortunate to be chosen; excitement came through words; traveling was inspiring
表达作者因有幸被选中去法国而表现除了的兴奋与期盼
第二部分（Para. 2） shocking news; death in my host parents’ extended family; out of one family’s house and into another; share a bedroom; my new roommate Palol, a Brazilian;

第三部分（Para. 3） The most valuable lesson I gained; respect all people; recommend an exchange program; to experience foreign cultures and gain meaningful (friendship)
作者对一个学期法国交换生经历的感受
[解析]：
21. B。利用句间的逻辑关系。A. discuss讨论；B. express 表达；C. announce通知；D. ague争论
根据In my application letter（在我的申请信中），可知选项B正确。
A. approved同意；B. ；C. ；D.
根据前句可知作者在申请参加这个项目，所以，I … that I was going应该是我‘知道’了我要去，故选项B正确。
23. D。把握句内逻辑关系。A. stubborn固执的；B. ；C. ；D.
根据making all sorts of new and … friends 可知作者是在谈论交什么样的朋友，故选项D正确。
24. C。利用句间的逻辑关系。A. boring无聊的；B. ；C. ；D. meeting people （见到许多人），一定是‘令人兴奋的’，故选项C正确。
25. A。利用上下文的线索。A. expected 预期的；B. liked喜欢的；C. doubted 怀疑的；D. feared害怕的。根据下文我们知道接待他的家庭发生变故，他不得不临时更换寄宿家庭，因此应该是与‘预期’不符，故选项A正确。
26. C。把握句内逻辑关系。A. sponsored 赞助；B. witnessed目睹；C. greeted迎接；D. 支持。 根据句意可知他到达法国后，将成为他寄宿家庭的‘父母’自然应该是去‘迎接’他，故选项C正确。
27. A。利用句间的逻辑关系。A. until 直到…；B. when 当……时候；C. since 自从……；D. while在……期间。根据句意可知他一直感觉很开心‘直到’令人震惊的消息传来，故选项A正确。
28. A。利用句间的逻辑关系。A. move 搬家； B. travel 旅行；C. walk 散步；D. rush冲进（出）。根据前句可知原来的寄宿家庭要出国，那他一定是要‘搬出去’到另一家去，选项A正确。
29. C。利用句间的逻辑关系。A. housekeeper管家；B. leader领导；C. roommate室友；D. colleague同事。根据后面的share a bedroom（共用一间卧室）可知应该是会有一个‘室友’，故选项A正确。
30. C。利用上下文线索。A. learn学习；B. appreciate欣赏；C. speak 说，讲；D. 精通。根据上文我们知道作者是到法国做交换生的，学习法语应该是此行的目的之一，所以他不想有一个讲英语的室友，怕自己禁不住诱惑而‘讲’自己的母语--英语，故选项C正确。
31. D。把握句间内的逻辑关系。A. combined 组合；B. fitted配合； C. involved涉及； D. placed安置。根据前面说了想要避免讲母语的诱惑，所以这里应该是要求不要与讲英语的室友‘安排’在一起，故选项D正确。
32. B。短语语义。A. added 添加；B. introduced介绍；C. devoted致力于……；D. adapted适应。根据句意可知，作者是把自己‘介绍’给新的室友，故选项A正确。
33. A。利用上下文线索。A. term 学期；B. week星期；C. month月份；D. vacation假期。根据第一段末句的my term in France可知作者在法国要待一个学期，故选项A正确。
34. C。利用上下文线索。A. presents 礼物；B. suitcases 旅行箱；C. stories 故事；D. dreams梦想。根据下文可知人们是在‘听’作者讲他的经历，所以他一定是带着很多‘有趣的故事’离开的法国，故选项C正确。
35. A。利用句间的逻辑关系。A. surprised 感到惊奇的；B. disturbed 不安的； C. embarrassed 尴尬的；
D. concerned关心的。根据句意我们知道当别人问起他的这次旅行经历的时候，作者讲的却是他和巴西朋友之间的事情，所以人们一定会感到‘很奇怪’，故选项A正确。
36. B。利用句内的逻辑关系。A. analyzing 分析； B. exploring 探险；C. describing描述；D. investigating调查。整句话都是在谈论作者和室友在法国期间所做的事情，当然也会包括‘探险猎奇’，故选项B正确。
37. D。利用句间的逻辑关系。A. need需要 B. shall 将，会； C. must必须； D. can可能。根据句意，可知作者是说‘看似不同的人，结果却有可能变得非常相似’，这里表示的一种‘可能性’，故选项D正确。
38. C。把握句内的逻辑关系。A. generous 慷慨的；B. independent 独立的；C. similar 相似的；D. 遥远的。 句子的前半句用了different，后半句以but开头，明显与前面是转折关系，故选项C正确。
39. B。固定句型表达。A. and 并且； B. but 但是；C. or 或者；D. so。 所以。‘not … but… ’（不是……而是……）是一个常用的句型，意思是，不能单单要尊重法国人，而是要尊重所有的人，转折意思明显，故选项A正确。
40. B。利用上下文线索。A. instructions指令；B. friendships友谊；C. facts事实；D. data数据。文中作者用了大量的笔墨来叙述他和巴西室友的友谊，这对他来说应该是最有意义的东西了，故选项B正确。
