三、阅读理解
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 of 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 the 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, widened my vocabulary and even improved 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.

四、七选五
When I decided to leave my home country to pursue a degree in Canada, I hadn't expected that communication would be an issue. ①______ I took English lessons in my teens and scored highly on English tests.
But soon after my arrival in Canada, I realized how wrong I was. In research discussions, surrounded by native English speakers, I had to be careful. I needed to consciously follow each conversation and translate it into my native language. ②______ Finally, I tried to find the right English words to communicate that response. Constantly thinking about what I would say next, I had a hard time remaining focused in conversations.
But when I again failed to say precisely what I meant in a meeting a few months later, a simple idea occurred to me. ③______ Communicating with my classmates by e-mail, I had more time to think and comfortably express my thoughts. Over time, this practice helped improve my English significantly.
④______ I decided to remind them that English is not my first language. I asked them to speak more slowly to help me follow the discussions. It was a little embarrassed to draw attention to what might be seen as a weakness. And at first, the other members of the research team seemed somewhat surprised. But the dynamics quickly improved. They seemed to become more aware of how they were speaking, and I felt more comfortable joining in the conversation. ⑤______

答案以及解析
一、
1.答案：sympathy
2.答案：feedback
3.答案：precisely
4.答案：friction
5.答案：clarifying
二、
6.答案：changed
解析：考查过去分词。分析可知空处作状语,且 change与this law之间是被动关系,需用过去分词, 故填 changed。句意:除非加以修改,否则这条法律将使农民的日子不好过。
7.答案：gently
解析：考查副词。空后是动名词pulling, 空处修饰pulling, 需用副词,故填gently。句意:所以渔夫要做的一切就是等待,让鱼自己筋疲力尽,然后轻轻地把它拉出水面。
8.答案：reaction
解析：考查词形转换。句意:这次经济危机在国际货币市场引发了连锁反应。根据空前的a chain可知,空处应该用名词,chain reaction表示“(事情的)连锁反应”。
9.答案：precisely
解析：考查词形转换。句意:有关专家说向北行进的野生亚洲象群能精确识别食物和水源的方向。根据空前的very和句意可知,空处应该用副词形式,表示"精确地,准确地"。
10.答案：To achieve
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意:为了实现我们的目标,我们需要另辟蹊径,探索每一种可能性。此处应用动词不定式作目的状语,故填To achieve。think out of the box 意为"跳出框框想问题;另辟蹊径"。
三、
答案：1-4BCAD
解析：1.词义猜测题。根据第一段第一、二句可知,在国外生活是一种奇妙的、可以改变人生的经历,是一个认识新朋友的机会,可以让你完全融入不同的文化中,并且可以学习另一种语言。再根据表示转折的副词"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。
2.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."可知作者在国外生活时选择住在寄宿家庭里。故选C。
3.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项不是好处;其余两项原文未提及。
4.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。
四、
答案：①-⑤CEBAF
解析：①这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者离开祖国去加拿大学习,结果语言成了一大障碍,作者通过书面交流和提醒同事说慢点的方法,让这一情况得到了改善。 根据上文 When I decided to leave my home country to pursue a degree in Canada, I hadn't expected that communication would be an issue.可知,当“我”决定离开祖国去加拿大攻读学位时,“我”并没有想到沟通会成为一个问题;根据下文I took English lessons in my teens and scored highly on English tests.可知,“我”十几岁的时候上过英语课,在英语考试中成绩很好。 所以推断出空格处是说作者一开始觉得自己英语没问题,在加拿大沟通不成问题。所以C项“我原以为我能容易地用英语表达自己”符合语境,承上启下。故选C。
②根据上文 But soon after my arrival in Canada, I realized... follow each conversation and translate it into my native language. 可知,在“我”到达加拿大后不久,“我”意识到“我”错得有多离谱。在研究讨论中,周围都是以英语为母语的人,“我”必须小心。“我”需要有意识地跟上每一次对话,并把它翻译成“我” 的母语。根据下文 Finally, I tried to find the right English words to communicate that response.可知,最后,“我”试图用正确的英语表达这一回答。上文提到作者每次听到英语时要先在脑海里翻译成母语,再进行回答,所以E选项“然后,我必须仔细地考虑一下,并想个回答”符合语境,承上启下,且E项中 a response 对应后文中 that response。故选E。
③根据上文 But when I again failed to say precisely what I meant in a meeting a few months later, a simple idea occurred to me.可知,几个月后的一次会议上,“我”又一次没能说清楚“我”的意思,这时“我”想到了一个简单的主意。由此可知,空格处应承接上文说明这个主意是什么,结合下文作者写电子邮件可推测作者想出的办法是通过书面形式参与讨论,而非口语。所以B项“为什么不以书面形式参与讨论 ”符合语境,承上启下。故选B。
④根据下文 I decided to remind them that English is not my... attention to what might be seen as a weakness.可知,“我”决定提醒他们英语不是“我”的第一语言。“我”让他们说得慢一点, 帮助“我”跟上讨论。让别人注意到可能被视为弱点的东西有点尴尬。由此可知,下文提到作者主动提醒他人英语不是自己的第一语言,让别人说得慢一点,即对同学们坦白自己的弱点。 所以A项“另外,我学会了对同学们开诚布公”符合语境,引起下文,且A项中classmates对应后文中them。故选A。
⑤根据上文 But the dynamics quickly improved. They seemed to become more aware of how they were speaking, and I felt more comfortable joining in the conversation.可知,情况很快得到了改善。“我”也更自在地加入了他们的谈话。所以F项“通过双方的努力,我们克服了语言障碍”符合语境,承接上文。 故选F。
