Do you remember we agreed to circulate our ideas for our school project this year?Well,here is our suggestion and we in our school hope you will join us to develop it.
The idea came to us in the autumn of 2004.We were sitting in our class when our head teacher made an announcement.“There’ll be a new boy starting school tomorrow.He comes from the circus and he’ll be with us for a while.”Immediately there was whispering around the classroom.I heard remarks like“Those are dirty people”;“They eat raw meat” and “Watch out for your bags”.The teacher must have heard them because she stopped the talking and said in a very serious voice,“Jake is our guest for as long as he stays here.Make sure you treat him well.I don’t want to hear any complaints about your behaviour to him.”
I was curious because it was the first time I had met someone from a circus.Fortunately for me,the next morning,after being introduced to the class he sat in the only spare seat next to me.Of course I didn’t want to be nosy(好管闲事的)but I couldn’t help looking at him sideways as I began my mathematics task.I noticed Jake was smaller than me and had dirty finger nails.His shirt was clean but had been repaired in many places and his trousers were helped up by a wide,leather belt.As he seemed to have no handkerchief and was sniffing loudly,I passed him one of mine.Immediately the boys began to whisper “What did you do that for?Leave him be!”I concentrated on my work.From my left a slight movement showed that Jake must have heard the remarks,too.He seemed to be having great difficulty with his work and was struggling to hold his pen correctly.He looked around as if for help.I looked around too.The teacher was busy so I leaned over and offered to explain the problems to him.As he listened,his mouth split into a smile.His eyes lit up as if a light had been turned on and he returned to the exercises with enthusiasm.He finished them quickly and proudly presented them to the teacher.“Well done,Jake,”she approved.Jake smiled and was soon busy sorting out information and adding more of his own.
I thought about how Jake’s life would be.I remembered seeing the campsite and thinking how poor the facilities(设施)were.So I decided to help.As it was my turn to suggest a project for our grade,I put forward this idea.Our head teacher accepted it and so we began to prepare our plans to improve the campsite.Hope you will join us.

Ⅰ.【语篇导读】这是一篇记叙文。班上转来了一个从马戏团来的新同学,同学们很排斥他,而作者跟他同桌。
1.A 推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知,当同学们知道这个新生来自马戏团的时候,就议论说这些人脏、吃生肉、爱偷窃。由此可推知,同学们不喜欢这个新来的同学可能是因为他们听过关于马戏团的人的一些不好的事。
2.D 推理判断题。从第三段中作者的叙述,作者主动给杰克手帕并帮他做作业,可看出作者富有同情心。D项正确。
3.C 推理判断题。根据第三段中杰克在作者的帮助下完成了作业,并骄傲地展示给老师看后又继续忙着学习可知C项正确,他有勇气和毅力把功课学好。
4.B 写作意图题。根据第一段中的“我们希望你能参加我们的活动”以及文章的最后一句“希望你能加入我们”可知,应选B项。
.【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。人们置身于完全陌生且不尽如人意的国外环境时,会体会到前所未有的压力,本文的主人公就经历过这样一段时光。
1.B 考查动词。根据文章第一句可知,此处是说作者离开舒适的家去了国外,住在一所条件很差的公寓里,故选B项。
2.D 考查名词。公寓里没有电梯,也没有洗碗机,由此可知条件很差,故此处表示300家住户共用一台洗衣机。
3.D 考查形容词。此处描述艰苦的条件,由于是瓷砖地板且阴雨连绵,故推测地板总是冷的,因而填cold。
4.C 考查动词。因于条件恶劣,所以作者学会了用手洗衣服。try“试图”;ask“请求”;force“促使,强迫”;故选C项。
5.B 考查连词。由主从句之间的关系看,水贵是作者洗头发时速度很快的原因,因此用since符合文意。although “虽然”;unless“除非”;once“曾经,一次”;故选B项。
6.A 考查动词。根据上一句中water可知,此处应表示洗头发,故填wash。
7.A 考查名词。由于没有手机和因特网,所以作者根本无法和家人朋友取得联系,故填connection。quarrel“争吵”;letter“信件,字母”;chance“机会”。
8.B 考查动词。作者身边没有亲戚,所以作者需要自己勇敢地面对现实。turn “转向”;pretend“假装”;stop“停止”;故选B项。
9.B 考查名词。此处指适应和创造新的生活能力完全要靠作者自己。imagination“想象力”;question“问题”;career “职业”,故选B项。
10.A 考查介词。由上文“I had no relatives there...”可以推测,作者一切要靠自己,故选A项。be up to sb.是固定短语,意思是“由某人决定;取决于某人”。close to“接近”;apart from“远离,除……之外”;across from“在……对面”。
11.D 考查形容词。由常识可知,17岁的青少年正是需要朋友的时候,因此说作者对朋友的需求很强烈。impossible “不可能的”;hopeless“绝望的”;beneficial“有益的”。
12.C 考查动词。前两段介绍的都是作者在国外遇到的烦恼,本段介绍了更多的烦恼,因此应选add。add to是固定短语,意为“增加”。adapt to“使适应于……”;apply to “应用于……”;reduce to“减少到,使处于……”。
13.B 考查名词。根据该空前的动词speak以及本段最后一句可知,作者存在“语言”方面的障碍。
14.D 考查名词。根据该空后的“...that created stress...”可知,此处指作者遇到的另一个挑战,故填challenge。scene“情景,场面”;shortage“缺少,不足”;fault“错误”。
15.C 考查名词。由于作者是一名交换生,下一句又提到这个家庭里的成员和作者住在一起,可见此处指作者的寄宿家庭,因而填host,host family“寄宿家庭”。
16.B 考查动词。由本句前面的“Of all the families in the city I lived...”此处的语境是“让……居住,给……提供住处”,故填housed。occupy“占据,占领”;compare“比较”;choose“选择”。
17.A 考查名词。根据该空后面的“in a foreign language”可知,此处表示改善语言技能,指在说这门外语时说得流利,故选fluency。
18.B 考查名词。作者适应国外的生活方式是一个长期的过程,在这个过程中,犯错是在所难免的。along the way指“在这个过程中”。
19.D 考查形容词。根据第二段末句中的stressful以及第三段中的“stress”可知,作者在国外的经历是充满压力的,故选D项。
20.B 考查名词。根据本句中的“provide me with insights”和“beat future challenges”可知,此处表示这些经历会提供给作者战胜未来挑战的信心,故填confidence。advantage“优势”;promise“承诺”;future“未来”。
