Ⅰ　阅读

(·无锡梅村高级中学高二月考)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.

Ⅱ　七选五

(·泉州五中月考)Are you planning to study a course from a foreign university? Well, these tips for studying abroad will make you feel at home in a new city.

Learn about the university.

When you decide to study abroad, it is important to research well.   1   Instead, talk to people who have completed their studies from that country. This way you'll get some real information about the university you're applying for.

  2 

The more you speak to people, the more you'll end up driving the blues away. Communicating with others will truly be helpful. Not only will it make it easier for you to face personal interviews but also to interact with the local people and fellow students.

Keep a diary.

Most students feel that the time they spent abroad was the best time for their lives. What's the better way to keep those moments “alive” forever?   3 

Be prepared for adjustments.

When you land up in a country with a culture that's completely different from yours, chances are that you'll experience some level of culture shock.   4   Consider your stay abroad as an opportunity to discover a new culture and learn new things.

Know what to do in an emergency.

  5   Get the details of the US Embassy, including the phone number, and register (登记) yourself and your family members with the US Embassy. This way you'll know whom to reach out to in case you're in an emergency.

A．Develop good communication skills.

B．Ensure you have all the documents.

C．However, don't let that discourage you.

D．Make sure that you know what to do in the face of emergency.

E．Keep in touch with your friends at home to avoid homesickness.

F．Don't just follow advertisements blindly and choose the university.

G．You can write down every little detail of the beautiful time when you study abroad.

篇章导读：本文是一篇议论文。作者为考虑出国留学的人提出了四个方面的建议。

1．F　由关键词“Instead”可推知，所填内容应与“talk to people who have completed their studies from that country”这条建议相反。故选F。

2．A　此处为段意标题句，而本段所讲述的内容均与交际有关。故选A。

3．G　G项内容与本段标题相呼应。故选G。

4．C　前文提到“culture shock”，再结合设空处后一句可知此处作者提醒读者，不必被它镇住，而要把这看作是一个学习其他文化的机会。故选C。

5．D　由段意和标题可知本段与“emergency”有关。故选D。
