Ⅱ.阅读理解

(2023·湖北省武汉市二调)

No high school exchange student chooses the small town Midwest over California or New York City, but Ole has enjoyed and learned to the point that I don't think he regrets it anyway.It has been a good adventure for us and I think for him too.

Ole's stay was inspiring, entertaining, and fun.We enjoyed his time here and have learned almost as much as he has，I'm sure.He is a very well-rounded kid with many experiences，a very good understanding of America, and speaks English very well.Many of the things he initially was amazed by, he, and we, now take for granted.It has been fun watching him experience a lot of these.

He got to experience playing soccer for his school.We went to many games and he was fortunate enough to have a coach and a team that were kind enough to a new kid and gave him much playing time.Since they have had no school sports before, the whole concept of having your classmates cheer for you at regionals and fans watching the games, let alone having it on TV, was a huge thing for him.The team also gave him a bunch of immediate friends and acquaintances.He liked being able to go to the high school basketball and football games too.He also got to go several of the school dances，a thing they don't do in his hometown.

We do feel fortunate to have had a kid who made an effort to get out, meet people and ask for rides, but was careful about who he hung out with.Our 3 kids did not meet any high school exchange students that were as well known in the school or as well liked and accepted as Ole had been.

We do expect that this hosting experience is the start of a lifelong relationship.

Ⅲ.七选五

(2022·深圳市调研)

When I decided to leave my home country to pursue a degree in Canada, I hadn't expected that communication would be an issue.  1.C　 I took English lessons in my teens and scored well on English tests.

But soon after my arrival in Canada, I realized how wrong I was. In research discussions, surrounded by native English speakers, I had to be careful. I needed to consciously follow each conversation and translate it to my native language.  2.E　 Finally, I tried to find the right English words to communicate that response. Constantly thinking about what I would say next, I had a hard time remaining focused in conversations.

But when I again failed to say exactly what I meant in a meeting a few months later, a simple idea occurred to me.  3.B　 Communicating with my colleagues by e-mail, I had more time to think and comfortably express my thoughts. Over time, this practice helped improve my English significantly.

 4.A　 I decided to remind them that English is not my first language. I asked them to speak more slowly to help me follow the discussions. It was a little awkward to draw attention to what might be seen as a weakness. And at first, the other members of the research team seemed slightly surprised. But the dynamics quickly improved. They seemed to become more aware of how they were speaking, and I felt more comfortable joining in the conversation. 5.G　

A．Plus, I learned to be open with my colleagues.

B．Why not contribute to the discussion in writing?

C．I had thought I could express myself in English easily.

D．Gradually, I grew uncomfortable with oral communication.

E．Then, I had to reflect carefully on it and think of a response.

F．How can one deny the significance of effective communication?

G．With efforts on both sides, we could overcome language barriers.

3．考查语境推断。根据空前一句中的“a simple idea occurred to me”可知，本句应承接上文说明这个主意是什么，结合空后一句中的“by e-mail”以及后文“helped improve my English significantly”可知，办法就是通过书面的形式参与讨论。故选B。

4．考查复现推断。根据空后一句中的“them”可知，设空处需要一个可数名词复数并且是指代人的词，A选项中的 colleagues符合要求，句意：另外，我学会了对同事开诚布公。故选A。

5．考查语境和复现推断。根据最后一段中的“But the dynamics quickly improved.”和“They seemed to become more aware of how they were speaking, and I felt more comfortable joining in the conversation.”可知，和同事沟通让这一情况有所改善，同事们似乎更加意识到他们是怎么说的，作者也逐渐克服了语言障碍。G项符合语境，且G项中的both sides指代同事和作者，承接上文。故选G。
