Ⅱ.阅读理解

A

When I began planning to move to Auckland to study，my mother was a little worried about the uncertainty of living in a place that was so different from India，where we lived.She worried particularly about the lack of jobs，the cultural differences and the chance that I would face racism.

Despite these worries，I came to New Zealand in July 2009.I have found the place and people very nice and supportive.Soon after I arrived，I realized the importance of getting a job to supply my living expenses.

Determined to do this on my own，I spent a whole day going from door to door asking for a job.However，I received little or no response.This became my routine every day after college for a few weeks.

One afternoon，I walked into a building to ask if there were any job opportunities.People there were very surprised，and advised me not to continue my job search in that manner.As I was about to leave，a clerk in the building，who had been listening to what the others had said，approached me and asked if I would wait outside.Fifteen minutes later，he returned.He asked me what my plans were and encouraged me to stay confident.He then offered to take me to the Royal Oak area to search for a job.

I was a little surprised，but had a good feeling about him，so I went along.Along the way，I realized that I had run out of copies of my resume (简历)．The man stopped at his business partner's office to make me 15 extra copies.He also gave me tips on dressing and speaking，and added that I should give him a call if I ever needed anything.I handed out my resumes and went home feeling very satisfied.The following day，I received a call from a store in Royal Oak offering me a job.

It seems that the world always gives back to you when you need it.And this time，it was a complete stranger who turned out to be a real blessing.

Shakespeare once called the English countryside “the precious stone set in the silver sea”—and he is not the last to sing high praises of its beauty and historical charm.

The countryside is particularly beautiful during the summer，especially in August and September.As one travels the countryside，you'll find more of its treasures：so many plants and animals，romantic castles，secret gardens，and villages so unchanged in the last decades that they seem to have been caught under a fairy's spell.

Must­sees include Derbyshire，called “the heart of England” and home to the National Park.The great peaks were the muse (创作灵感) of the Bronte sisters (and if you love the book Jane Eyre，you can visit North Lees hall，where the real Eyre family once lived)．

History lovers will enjoy a visit to Lincoln city (its most famous son is Lord Alfred Tennyson)．It is also known for its cathedral，the charming tea shops，a small castle.One would never guess its violent past—built by the Romans，it was once a center for arrow (箭) making.

Harry Potter fans shouldn't miss a visit to Alnwick，which is better recognized as the “Hogswarth” in the movies.

Let's not leave out the Wessex region，where one can see one of England's greatest mysteries，Stone Henge.You can also go to the City of Bath，which has been famous for its medicines springs since the Roman times.Other popular attractions include Salisbury Cathedral，the landscaped gardens of Stourhead，and the cobbled (用鹅卵石铺的) streets of Shaftesbury.This is also home to Oxford，one of the world's most famous universities.

Art lovers will also like a visit to East Anglia，whose landscapes inspired the painter Constable (he was born in Dedham village)．This is also home of the University City of Cambridge，and the famous architectural attraction，King's College Chapel.Be sure to visit the aircraft museum of Duxford.

Ⅲ.阅读七选五

If you're lucky enough to travel or live abroad，in order to get the most out of your stay it's necessary to mix with the locals.  1  Having lived abroad several times，I've put together a list of tips based on my own experiences to help you make friends in a foreign country.

Say yes to everything (within reason)．Obviously，if you feel unsafe or uncomfortable in any way，don't feel forced to agree to do anything.However，don't put off trying anything new or going to anywhere you've never been before.

  2  Join a dance class，a walking club，a photography class，a gym，or learn to cook the local cuisine—the possibilities really are endless!

Another option is to attend language exchanges or find a friend to practise with.  3   

Don't be a wallflower.When you are miles away from home，surrounded by people speaking an unfamiliar language and immersed (浸没于) in a foreign culture，it may feel very difficult to be confident and involve yourself in conversations，especially with large groups of people.  4  If big groups are frightening，start conversations with individual people in order to get to know them better.More likely than not，you will find that everyone wants to know everything about you.  5 

A．Get out of the house!

B．So take advantage of being a novelty.

C．Find a hobby or try something entirely new.

D．Make the most of the new and exciting place you live in.

E．However，try to continue and make your voice heard.

F．This allows you to find out more about the local culture and way of life.

G．This allows you to meet a lot of people who are also looking to make friends.

【语篇解读】　本文主要介绍的是如何在国外交朋友。

1．F　[根据上文的“...it's necessary to mix with the locals.”可知，与当地人交际是必要的。F承接上文，解释与当地人交际的好处。]

【易错分析】　本题易误选G，因为G中有This，好像与上文连接，但G不是与当地人交际的好处。

2．C　[根据下文的“Join a dance class，a walking club”可知，这是有关爱好的。故选C。]

3．G　[根据上文的“...find a friend to practise with”可知与G 项内容相联系。]

4．E　[根据空前的“it may feel very difficult to be confident and involve yourself in conversations，especially with large groups of people.”可知，做到自信并且让你自己参与到对话中可能感到非常难，尤其是和一大群人在一起。E“然而，尽力继续并且让你的声音被听到。”与上文内容相符。]

5．B　[根据上文的内容可知，你会发现每个人都想知道关于你的事情。由此可知B是承接上文的。]
