1.Whatisthepassagemainlyabout?

A.Learningalanguage.

B.Theexcitementoftravel.

C.Livinginaforeigncountry.

D.Thebenefitsofstudyingabroad.

解析：主旨大意题。根据第一^uBesidestheexcitementoftravel,onereasonto

studyabroadisthatyouwillexperiencenewcustoms,holidays,foods…”可知，除

了旅行的兴奋之外，到国外学习的一个理由是你将体验新的风俗习惯、假日、食

物等。故选D。

答案：D

2.WhatdidAndrewpayspecialattentiontowhilestudyingabroad?

A.Hostfamilies.

B.Theforeigncultures.

C.Placesofinterest.

D.Communityproblems.

解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第一句"Ilearnedthelanguageandamnowfluent,

butperhapswhafsmoreimportantishowmuchIlearnedaboutcultures・・.”可

知，现在Andrew学会了语言,并且说得流利，但更重要的是他对文化的了解。故选

Bo

答案：B

3.AccordingtotheexampleofChristina,whatdoweknowaboutstudyingabroad?

A.Itcanchangeourhabits.

B.Itcanofferusopportunities.

C.Itcanincreaseourknowledge.

D.Itcanbuildourconfidence.

解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第一句"Anotherreasonforstudyingabroadis

thatyou9llgainself・con行deuce.”可知，到国外学习的另一个理由是可以增强自信。

故选D。

答案：D

4.Whatdotheunderlinedwords“abreeze"inparagraph4probablyreferto?

A.Somethingveryimportant.

B.Somethingveryinteresting.

C.Somethingveryeasy.

D.Somethingverysoft.

解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段最后一句”...moving560milesfromhomedidiTt

seemparticularlyfrighteningafterhavinglivedthousandsofmilesaway.“可知，

离家560英里似乎并不特别令人害怕。故推测画线单词的意思是“非常容易的事

情”。故选G

答案：C

B

IwasbornandraisedinEnglandinaculturewhereprivacyand"keeping

A.Theyalllaughedattheauthorforhismistake.

B.Theywouldnotbeai,amistakeliketheauthor\inpublic.

C.Theywereallonthesideofthegentleman.

D.Theyallshowedtheirunderstandingoftheauthor\mistake.

解析：细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第二句"Theotheroccupantsofthecarriage

smiledandnoddedatmeandmademefeelquitewelcomeamongthem.”可知，车

厢里其他人都对作者点头微笑，说明他们理解作者的错误，对作者的错误很宽容。

故选D。

答案：D

6.WhatdoestheauthorthinkoftheItalianpeople?

A.Cold.B.Rude.

C.Hospitable.D.Helpful.

解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第一句"IexperiencedItalianhospitality

first-handonacrowdedrailwaycarriagetrip,oneafternoon,fromGenoato

A.Theywereallstrangerstoeachother.

B.Theyweretootiredtospeak.

C.PrivacywasavaluedtraditioninEngland.

D.Everybodyhadtheirownshareofprivacy.

解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Nobodyspoketomenor,asIexpected,to

anyoneelsetheydidnotknow.Theyfeltitwasnotpolitetointrudeonsomeone

else9sprivacy.”可知，英国乘客都不和陌生人说话是因为他们国家的传统认为探

究别人的隐私是很不礼貌的。故选C。

答案：c

8.Whatdoestheauthorintendtotellthereaders?

A.Histravellingexperiences.

B.Culturaldifferencestoshowhospitalityandpoliteness.

C.ThecultureshockheexperiencedinItalyandtheUS.

D.Howtoadaptourselvestoanewculture.

解析：推理判断题。根据第一、二段的内容可知，作者的目的是告诉我们在不同

国家好客和礼貌的文化差异。故选及
