Active learning of your courses may be scheduled for Fridays.Before you leave for Alicante, you will choose your preferred courses and take a language placement exam. You’ll be admitted to courses based on their availability. So it is in your best interest to have your home university agree with many courses before you set off for Alicante. To make sure that you receive the credit for the language level that is fit for you, have your home university agree with courses at several levels before you leave for Spain. Please ask your advisor at your home university about credit guidelines. Where You’ll Study and StayLying on one of Spain’s most attractive campuses, the University of Alicante allows you to take part in classes and activities: with Spanish and other international students. You can choose CEA housing or prepare your own independent housing. CEA housing will make every effort to match your housing requests.1. When can you take back your application?A. On December 1st. B. On October 1st.C. On November 5th. D. On September 5th.解析:细节理解题。根据Dates部分的“Withdrawal: before October 1st”可知,在10月1日之前可以撤回对这一项目的申请。故选D。答案:D2. What can we learn about this programme?A. Each of the courses costs $95.B. High school freshmen can apply for it.C. Students can get 5 credits after finishing the programme.D. Active learning courses should be booked ahead of time.解析:细节理解题。根据Programme Details部分的前两句“You’ll take 1 language course and 1 culture course. Language courses meet for 60 class hours/4 credits, while culture courses meet for 20 hours/1 credit.(你将会有一门语言课、一门文化课。语言课上60小时,获得4学分。文化课上20小时,获得1学分。)”可知,该项目结课时,学生一共可获得5个学分。故选C。答案:C3. What should you do before leaving for Alicante?A. Gain as many credits as possible.B. Prepare many choices of courses.C. Improve your communication skill.D. Try your chosen courses at your home university.解析:推理判断题。根据Programme Details 部分第二段中的“So it is in your best interest to have your home university agree with many courses before you set off for Alicante.(最好是在你去阿利坎特之前,让你现在所在的大学同意你可以选许多课程。)”可知,该项目不能保证你一定能选到你想上的课程,所以应该在前往阿利坎特之前准备好多种课程选择。故选B。答案:BBCulture shock occurs when people have been suddenly thrown into a new culture. Newcomers may be anxious because they don’t speak the language. Neither do they know the customs or understand the people’s behaviour in daily lives.Quite often the visitors find that “yes” may not always mean “yes”, that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship, or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes. The foreigners may be unsure as to when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The idea of culture shock helps explain feelings of puzzlement and confusion.Language problems do not lead to all the setbacks that people feel. When one has lost everything that was once familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.When an individual enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water. Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture. When this happens, visitors may want to refuse everything about the new environment and may glorify and sing their own praises of the positive aspects of their own culture. On the other side, more visitors may sneeze at their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it. 4. What do people feel when they are suddenly in a new culture?A. Excited.　　　　 B. Delighted.C. Upset.    D. Hopeless.解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Newcomers may be anxious because they don’t speak the language. Neither do they know the customs or understand the people’s behaviour in daily lives.(新来的人可能会担心,因为他们不会说这种语言。他们也不知道习俗,不了解人们在日常生活中的行为。)”可推知,由于语言不通、不了解当地的风俗、不理解当地人日常生活中的行为习惯,新来者会感到焦虑、担心。故选C。答案:C5. What can we infer from the second paragraph?A. It’s impossible to get used to a new culture.B. People feel confused due to culture shock.C. Foreigners often don’t mean what they say.D. Most foreigners are usually quite humorous.解析:推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句“The foreigners may be unsure as to when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The idea of culture shock helps explain feelings of puzzlement and confusion.(外国人可能不确定什么时候握手,什么时候开始对话,或者如何接近陌生人。文化冲击的概念有助于解释困惑和迷茫的感觉。)”可推知,由于文化冲击,人们常常会感到困惑。故选B。答案:B6. What does the underlined expression “he or she feels like a fish out of water” in the last paragraph suggest?A. People away from their cultures can hardly survive in a new culture.B. A fish cannot survive without water.C. People away from their cultures experience mental loneliness.D. People away from their cultures want nothing to do with their native country.解析:句意理解题。根据最后一段中的“When an individual enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water. Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture.(当一个人进入一种陌生的文化时,他或她会感到十分不自在。新来的人有时觉得自己不属于这里的文化,觉得被当地的文化成员抛弃了。)”可知,作者引用a fish out of water(十分不自在)想要表明远离他们自己的文化的人会经历精神上的孤独。故选C。答案:C7. What is the biggest barrier people often meet with in a new country?A. The language. B. The transportation.C. The environment. D. The puzzlement.解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Newcomers may be anxious because they don’t speak the language.(新来的人可能会担心,因为他们不会说这种语言。)”并结合常识可知,在一个新的国家,人们遇到的最大问题就是语言不通。故选A。答案:A第二节　根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Choosing to Study OverseasEvery year, thousands of students choose to study in another country for a semester, the summer, or a year.

Compared to most visitors, I didn’t travel much. I lived with a Chilean family and had the responsibilities of any Chilean teenager. I went to school every day, in uniform. I had good days and bad days and days that I didn’t understand.Chuquicamata, my host community, is a mining camp in the Atacama Desert. There is no dance hall, no shopping center, no museum or beach. Driveways must be watered daily to keep the dust down.When I arrived there, I was scared. It was so different from the urban middle-class America I was used to. There were lost dogs on the streets, and a constant cloud of brick-coloured dust came from the mine. There was no downtown, few flat streets, and little to do for amusement. The people worked extremely hard. Rain was a rare phenomenon; earthquakes and windstorms were frequent.I had studied Spanish for two and a half years and was always one of the best students in my class. But in my first week in Chile I was only able to communicate and needed one person to whom I could explain my shock. I couldn’t speak the thoughts in my head—and there were so many.Most exchange students experience this like me. Culture shock presents itself in everything. I was required to overcome all difficulties. Being an exchange student is not easy.As time passed, everything changed. I began to forget words in English and to dream in Spanish and love Chilean food. I got used to not depending on expensive things for fun. Fun in Chuquicamata was being with people. And I took math, physics, chemistry, biology, Spanish, art and philosophy.But the difficulties were nothing compared to the gain. I learned how to accept as well as to succeed in another culture. I now know the world is my community and have a much deeper understanding of both myself and others.1. What was the purpose of the author going to Chile last year?A.

His life was threatened by earthquakes and windstorms.B. He couldn’t get used to working so hard as Chileans did.C. Its living conditions were much worse than what he was familiar with.D. He did not know how to get along with local people because of the culture gap.解析:细节理解题。根据文章第二段的描述和第三段前两句“When I arrived there, I was scared. It was so different from the urban middle-class America I was used to.”可知,这里的生活和作者所习惯的美国城市中产阶级生活有很大的差距,所以起初作者感到震惊,故选C。答案:C3. What do we know about the author’s first week in Chile?A. He could hardly communicate with people.B. He found one person to explain his shock.　C. He couldn’t express his thoughts in English.D. He couldn’t overcome his great depression.解析:细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容可知,尽管作者学习了两年半的西班牙语,但在最初的一周里作者还是很难与其他人沟通,脑子里的想法无法说出来,故选A。答案:A4. Which of the following best describes the author’s life in Chile?A. Wonderful but tiring.B. Hard but meaningful.C. Difficult and terrible.D. Boring and disappointing.解析:推理判断题。根据文章内容,尤其是最后一段第一句“But the difficulties were nothing compared to the gain.”可知,作者在智利的生活虽然很困难,但是与收获比起来是微不足道的,故选B。答案:BⅤ. 完形填空。For the past two years I have been travelling and living abroad. 　1　 has become more of a feeling than a place.
