根据空后给出的出国学习的建议可知,F项“乍一想,准备开始离家生活的任务似乎令人恐惧。”与下文语境相符。故选F项。2.G

空后内容讲的是要了解要去的国家的历史、文化、传统、语言等相关知识。G项“通过调查你所要去国家的信息,给你自己配备好背景知识。”与下文语境相符。故选G项。3.C

根据下文句意“无论你带什么,确保它是你认为可能有助于你成功的东西”可知,C项“决定带哪些东西时,要做到切合实际并不容易。”与下文语境相符。故选C项。答案及解析

ⅠⅡⅢⅣⅤⅥ4.E

本空是一个小标题。根据本段内容可知,虽然在新环境中可能会发生新的和令人兴奋的事情,但国内的事情和人也会发生变化。当你久别故乡回家探亲时,你可能会感到被孤立,并经历“反向文化冲击”。因此,如今通过互联网可以进行便捷的交流,你没有理由不保持联系。由此可知,E项“经常与家乡的人保持联系。”概括了本段的主题。故选E项。5.B

根据上文“Value

both

your

achievements

and

disappointments...negative

experiences.”可知,此处指要从那些不好的经历中学习,以此来提高自己。故选B项。ⅠⅡⅢⅣⅤⅥⅥ.语法填空Thewarmweatheroutsidemaylookperfectforoutdoorexercise.Butforthose1.
