there.Korea is usually the place where most people go, because they have the most benefits and highest salaries by working only twenty hours a week.Japan is also a good choice, but only if you stay there for a long time will you save some money.China is a new rising star and lots of people are going there.Like Japan，the pay is quite good，but the cost of living in China is much cheaper.You can save a sizable amount and complete all your loans back home.Besides，Chinese people are enterprising(有进取心的) and you can learn a lot from them.The Middle East offers very high salaries and great packages for teachers, all of which is tax free.However, you must be a certified teacher and have a few years experience if you want to teach there.Most of the people who tend to teach there are older and more conservative,_so they dont expect a party scene.Italy and Spain are two beautiful countries where you can try your fortune.Fashion industry in Milan would love to hire wellknown Englishspeaking people to work with international models and designers.Tourism is another industry in these countries，where English knowledge is useful.Moreover, by teaching in Europe you have the ability to travel every weekend to a new country and visit a new culture besides a good salary.Europe has a lot to offer.Teaching English overseas is a really rewarding experience.It is a great way for people to see a new place，and these countries and places are great places for you to go if you are interested.【解题导语】本文介绍了一些适合做英语外教的国家或地区。1Why does saving money in Japan take more time?AIt offers a lower salary.BIts cost of living is higher.CIt offers fewer English classes.DYou have to pay a lot of tax.B解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Like Japan, the pay is quite good, but the cost of living in China is much cheaper.”可推知在日本教英语需要较长的时间才能积攒到钱的原因是那里的生活成本太高。2What does the underlined word “conservative” (in Para.3) probably mean?AKnowledgeable.BUnfriendly.CUnsociable.DBoring.C解析：词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句中的“.so they dont expect a party scene.”这一因果关系可知年纪大的人不太爱交际，所以不愿意参加一些社交活动。故C项符合题意。3The common thing among the countries and areas mentioned is that _Athey all offer a good salaryBEnglish teachers only work 20 hours a weekCteaching experience is not quite necessaryDthey offer chances to meet with famous modelsA解析：推理判断题。文章介绍到的每一个国家或地区都提到给予很高的报酬，因此答案为A；选项B中涉及的是韩国；选项C的错误在于中东地区对老师的学位和教学经验有要求；选项D的错误在于只有在提到米兰时才说到有机会与著名模特或服装设计师共事。4What is the purpose of the passage?ATo explain the benefits of teaching English abroad.BTo teach how to enjoy yourself when you teach English abroad.CTo compare the places where English teaching is popular.DTo recommend some places to those who want to teach English abroad.D解析：写作意图题。根据文章第一句话“In Asia, there are many places for people to go to teach English.”以及每一段中提到的适合教英语的国家或地区可知答案为D。B(2019福建泉港一中高二期中)One spring, when I was 10, during one of my fathers layoffs(失业), I could tell my mother was unhappy.I decided to cheer her up by buying her a special Mothers Day gift.One day after school I rode my bike to the Agins，which, I learned years later，was known for its highend fashions and styles.I introduced myself to Sylvia Agins，telling her I was looking for a Mothers Day present.“Do you think shed like a purse？”she asked.“I thought she might，” I told her.She took out an Italian handbag made of leather.She asked me what I thought, and I told her that my mom would like it.“How much money do you have？” she asked.“Twelve dollars，” I said.“Youre in luck，” she told me.“Its only $11.You have a dollar left over for the card.” She giftwrapped the purse and thanked me for my business, and I rode off home with the package under my arm.When my mother opened the gift the next Sunday morning, she asked in an accusing tone，“Where did you get this？”“I bought it at the Agins.It cost me $11，” I said.My mother was shocked into silence.It wasnt until many years later，when I learned that the purse was worth several hundred dollars，that I appreciated just how wonderful Sylvia Agins had been to me.I always felt bad that I never had a chance to properly thank her.“You know，my son，what really amazes me to this day，” my mother said.“Letting you have the purse for just a few dollars was unbelievable enough.But the fact that she let you leave the store with a dollar for the card was a touch of kindness that Ill never forget.”【解题导语】因为想逗因父亲失业而心情低落的母亲开心，作者决定送母亲一个特别的母亲节礼物。了解情况后的店主Sylvia Agins将价值几百美元的钱包以11美元的价格出售给了作者，并给他余一美元来给母亲买卡片。这一暖心举动让作者和他的母亲感动不已。5The

improve your intellect at the same time. Whether you want to pick up a new hobby, communicate better with a new friend or challenge your intellect, mastering a new language will most definitely be an advantage to you.1_ Be openminded and flexible to understand a culture that is different from your own. Break the language barriers. Though we may have different native tongues, we are all the same by nature. Language is all connected.Many careers consider it an advantage if you are fluent in a second language. 2._ In a global market, youll be very useful for your company or organization if you are multilingual.3_ Learning a new language is a good way to improve brain function. Learning a foreign language has been shown to improve critical thinking skills, creativity and flexibility of the mind. As a result, students who learn a new language have been shown to do better in other subjects.4_ Aside from hotels and typical tourist sites, it is good to speak at least some of the local language. You get more out of your trip and you will be able to benefit from the entire cultural experience.You gain much more in picking up another language. So register for a language class or study in your spare time.5._AYo
