C. or
20．A. instructions C. facts
D. so B. friendships D. data 答案与解析
本文为记叙文。“我”有幸被选为一名交流生去法国学习。不但领略了异国他乡的风土人情，也学会了尊重别人，收获了一段珍贵的友谊。
1．B 根据文章上文提到的一封申请信，在信中自然是表达了自己非常想去法国的愿望。discuss“讨论”；express“表达，表示”；announce“宣布”；argue“争论，争辩”。根据语境可知B项正确。
2．B 根据上下文可以看出，此处表示“我”得知有机会去法国了，心情很高兴。故用know“了解，知道”。
3．D 此处句意：我能想到的就是出国旅游的乐趣和结交各种有趣的新朋友。stubborn“固执的”；anxious“焦急的，担忧的”；universal“通用的，全球的”；interesting“有趣的”。根据句意可知D项正确。
4．C 根据上文反复提到的fun可以看出，出国旅行是令人鼓舞的，结交朋友是令人兴奋的。boring“令人厌烦的”；upsetting“令人不安的”；exciting“令人兴奋的”；promising“有希望的，有前途的”，根据语境可知C项正确。
5．A while表示“尽管”，由此可以看出，前后构成语意上的转折。本句表示“我在法国学习的这一学期没有什么是我所期望的”。与上文“...all I could think about was the fun of foreign travel and making...friends.”相呼应。故A项正确。
6．C 一到法国，一对热心的法国夫妇接待了“我”，他们也成了“我”的房东。sponsor“赞助”；witness“目睹，见证”；greet“打
招呼，迎接”；support“支持，赞助”。根据语境可知C项正确。
7．A “我”这段时间都是快乐和兴奋的，直到有一天接到消息他们家有亲戚去世了，需要离开法国一段时间，而“我”也就不能再住在这里了。故用until“直到??为止”符合句意。
8．A 承接上题，既然不能在此居住，“我”自然就得要搬走。故用move“搬家，搬迁”。
9．C 根据下文提到的“...share a bedroom with...”可知，此处是“我”要有个室友“roommate”了，故选C项。
10．C 此处表示为了避免说自己的母语，“我”不希望与一个说英语的同学合住。因此用speak“说，讲”后面可接某种语言作其宾语。
11．D 参考上题句意。combine“结合，联合”；fit“固定，安装”；involve“涉及，牵扯”；place“安放，安置”。根据句意可知D项正确。
12．B 根据前面提到的new room，可知遇到新室友，自然是进行自我介绍，故introduce“介绍”符合语境。
13．A 根据文章第一段最后一句可知，“我”到法国要学习一个学期，因此此处表示“剩下的整个学期”这两人都成了好朋友。故选A项。
14．C 学期结束，“我”带着许多见闻离开了法国，外国的风土人情，结识的巴西朋友都成了“我”津津乐道的故事。故用C项story“故事，见闻，经历”。
15．A 对于那些没有这种经历的人来说，听到这些都会有种“惊讶”的感觉，因为这些都是些新鲜事。surprised“吃惊的”；disturbed“心烦的”；embarrassed“尴尬的”；concerned“关心的，
担忧的”。根据语境可知A项最合适。
16．B “我们”结伴去旅行，探索这个国家。因为这是一个陌生的国度，一切都是那么新鲜，需要去探索和发现。故用explore“探索，考查，探究”符合语境。
17．D 此处考查情态动词。表示理论上的一种可能性，他们可能看起来是不同的，但最终却发现是如此的相似。can在肯定句中表示可能性，意为“有时会，往往会”。
18．C 根据前面的信息词but，以及different可以看出此处要选用其反义词，故similar“相似的，类似的”符合语境。
19．B 在法国学习期间，最大的学习收获不是仅仅尊重法国人而是去尊重所有人，因为你下一个最好的朋友可能来自另一个大陆。 因此用but，构成not...but...“不是??而是”。
20．B 首尾呼应，而且纵观全文也可以看出“我”收获珍贵的友谊，因此作为一名交流生不但会体验异国文化，也会获得友谊。故friendship符合语境。
Ⅳ.阅读理解
In all the world's cultures, people sing, play instruments，and celebrate with music. It plays such an important role in our lives that all fields focus on its study，including one looking at the biology of music. Experts find that because of the way our brains process music，learning to play an instrument or just listening to music can have a wide range of benefits.
Music education has received a lot of attention.Learning to play an instrument can help children improve math, science, and language skills. One study in Canada tracked children's IQ scores for nine months，discovering that children who studied music had the biggest
test score improvements. The secret may lie in the way reading music and playing notes use several areas of the brain, increasing our ability to learn school subjects.For example, reading notes improves spatial (空间的)reasoning skills，which are helpful in solving math problems like fractions(分数)．
Music is also used for medial purposes, such as the treatment of diseases which affect memories. The secret lies in the way the brain processes music. One area near the forehead, the medial prefrontal cortex, connects music with memories stored in two other areas: the amygdale and hippocampus. That's why an old song can remind you of something that happened years ago. For patients suffering from diseases like Alzheimer's，listening to music can help unlock buried memories by strengthening musical pathways to memories.
With the evidence of music's benefits，it's no wonder some countries make music study a part of their education systems. People are recognizing that more than just a form of entertainment, music is also great for the brain.

答案与解析
科学研究表明，音乐不仅仅是一种娱乐方式，它也给我们带来了教育、医疗等方面的诸多好处。
1．B 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句中的“It plays such an important role in our lives that all fields focus on its study”可知，科学家们研究音乐是因为音乐在我们的生活中起着非常重要的作用。

4．B 标题判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了音乐和心智的关系，大脑在处理音乐的过程中，给我们带来了诸多好处。因此B项为最佳标题。
