Paris is the city of dreams. If you plan to head for Paris for a study period,perhaps a little reality check is in order. But my experience was a romantic one.
I paved my path to Paris through an exchange program. On arrival in Paris,I was constantly reminded of the official processes I had to complete-forms to fill in, meetings to attend the list seemed endless.
Then the real work began. Once classes were underway,I found myself volunteering to do oral presentations and assignments first rather than last. This method proved to be very helpful.
Once I had finished classes for the week, I had an ever-increasing list of museums to visit. neighborhoods to explore, and cafes to sit in. Maybe you can read books about Paris and talk to locals and other foreigners living there. But the one thing that reading a book or talking to someone cannot do is provide you with the experience of wandering Paris on foot. The people watching,the sounds of the city,and the colors as the seasons change,they all add to the ecstasy that I experienced in Paris as an exchange student.
After spending five months wandering through the charming neighborhoods, I fell in love with the atmosphere that came out from every open door and every spoken word. There is something comforting about walking to the market each Sunday to enjoy the beautiful display of fruits, vegetables and dairy products. There is warmth in saying Bonjour to the passers-by.
On my last day in Paris, I confidently said"Bonjour Monsieur”as I passed the little store down the street. I guess the best part about going on exchange in Paris is falling in love with the city in your own way. And I know mine is unique and special to me my own little pieces of Paris.

A.Courage.
B. Imagination.
C. Happiness.

There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think. On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who are. Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and t ties us to our families,holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress
On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring it wherever they go,and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.
Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However,the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available,so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes to the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.
We should embrace our heritage (传统)through our culture's food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window into culture.and it should be treated as such.
12. What's the function of food mentioned in the text
A.To help motivate homesickness
B. To show national identity.
C. To reflect a country's history.
D. To show a community's superiority.
13. What does the underlined word"it”in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The specific traditional food.
B. The national culture.
C. A traditional expression of food.
D. The old-fashioned taste.
14. Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurants
A.To attach cultural importance to their dishes.
B. To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.
C. To make the dishes popular among customers.
D. To present their own food culture in a new way.
15. What's the author's attitude towards different food cultures
A. Negative.
B. Balanced.
D. Unchangeable.
C. Unfair.

Just then, the Mullah heard the sound of his donkey's feet. He looked around. There was his donkey. On her back rode a boy,“Where did you find her ”asked the Mullah. “we couldn't find her anywhere. "
"I knew where I would go if I were a donkey"said the boy.I found her eating grass.with the sheep and goats. "
Suddenly, the Mullah looked to one side and saw one of bis friends holding up a dollar
On the other side he saw another with a dollar
" I'll buy your donkey,”said the two.
"I was joking !”said the Mullah.
You didn't sound as if you were joking、said the two.
The Mullah couldn't break his word. That would be wrong for an important person in the village. He certainly didn't want to sell his donkey for a dollar.

13.A代词指代题。通读第二段可知,传统食物是文化的一个重要部分，它显示了文化身份，移民不管去哪儿都带着它，它象征着对自己文化的骄傲,也是处理乡愁的方法。由此可推知,it指代传统食物。

19.C 根据上文，"My teacher walked up to me and asked,pointing to the dumplings,“Would you like to take these home "I carefully replied, No...",作者并不打算把带到学校分享的美食带回家。因为作者认为,把礼物带回家是很不礼貌的。故选C项。
20. D根据上文，"I was confused;what just happened ”可知,老师把剩下的饺子都倒入了垃圾桶,这让作者感到很震惊。由此可知,D项“这是我经历过的最大的文化冲击”符合语境。

26. D most最多的;fullest 最满的;busiest最忙的;earliest最早的。根据后面的“so she could spend the rest of the day. . . working to pay her education fees”可推测，她上一天中最早的课，以便为勤工俭学腾出时间。
27. B therefore因此;however然而;besides 况且，此观描过外;moreover 再者，而且。前文讲述孙洁留学期间克服了很多困难，后文中的“I learned a lot from my experience in the USA”表示她在留学期间收获很大，设空处前后文在意思上存在转折关系。

(语篇解读]这是一篇说明文。好莱坞盛产各种各样的电影,但是这些电影通常有一个共同的主题冲突。
36. included考查词形转换。included作形容词时仅用的中于名词后,表示“包括在内的”。故填included。
37. badly考查副词。由语境“主角非常想要某物，以至国细于他会尽一切努力去得到”可知，这里修饰动词wants,故用副词。badly“非常地”。
38. achieving考查非谓语动词。对手尽力阻止这个主角实现他的目标。stop sb. (from) doing sth.“阻止某人做某事”。
39. an 考查冠词。这里表示泛指且 example的发音以
元音音素开头,故用不定冠词an
40. who/ that 考查定语从句。先行词是a young man,指人，且关系词在从句中作主语，故此空填who/that.
41. to see考查非谓语动词。这位父亲认为年轻人配张很不上他的女儿，所以他不允许女儿见他。allow sb. to do sth.“允许某人做某事”。
42. refuses考查主谓一致和动词的时态。由主语 The young man可知，谓语动词应用单数,又因此处是客观描述，应用一般现在时，故此空填refuses。
43. what考查名词性从句。空处引导表语从句并在从句中作主语,故填what
44. beginning考查词形转换。根据空前的the可知,此处应用名词。at the beginning“起初”,为固定搭配。
45. him考查人称代词。动词makes 后跟宾格形式。他从他的经历中学到了一些东西并使他成为一个不同的人。him 代指这个主角。故填him

Paragraph 1;
So the Mullah thought out a plan. He wanted to keep his word and also to keep his donkey. On the night before the donkey fair, the Mullah bought a piece of rope. No one had any idea on why the Mullah bought a piece of rope. On Saturday, the man and the boy in the village came to the donkey fair as scheduled. They found a cat tied with a piece of rope to the tail of the Mullah’s donkey! Beside them stood the Mullah, who looked happy. "It is true, I'll sell my donkey for a dollar,”said the Mullah. "Just one thing,though."
Paragraph 2:
My donkey and my cat are very good friends. They must not be parted. The kind man who buys my donkey must buy my cat also. "How much is your cat ”asked many voices.

For such a great cat,I want one hundred dollars."The men burst out laughing and gave up the idea of owning the donkey.
