But language students need 4 years. They usually spend the third year abroad (在国外) — they go to a country where the language they are learning is spoken. They can either work or study there. This way they can put into practice what they have learnt in class.During their year abroad, students get a completely new experience. Many try to find other students to live with and some live with host families. They cannot only learn the language, but also come to understand the culture, the people and the traditions of the country. That is an important part of language learning.Ellen Rothnie, a student of French, spent her year abroad in Paris, France. She taught English in a language school. “Teaching my own language makes me understand what works and what doesn't in language learning,” Ellen said. “And my students are also my friends. They show me how people speak and live in the country. That's helpful in improving my French.”The year abroad is great fun but can also be very stressful, because students have to build a life in a new country alone. But once the students settle into (适应) their new way of life, it becomes easier and many would describe their year abroad as one of the greatest experiences of their lives.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。(    ) 1. Language students in a UK university usually spend their _______ year abroad.A. first         B. second      C. third           D. fourth(    ) 2. The underlined word “That” refers to “_______”.A.

First, they don't have enough food to eat or enough places to live. Second, humans pollute the rivers and take away their lands and forest. What's more, to make money humans kill them for meat, fur and oil. It's time to protect endangered animals. As middle school students, what can we do? First, we must tell people around us how serious the problem of endangered animals is. Second, we mustn't buy clothes or food made from endangered animals. Third, we should advise the government to build more nature parks for animals.附加题1-5 CDDBC
