Ⅰ.七选五

Travelling is a great way to interact with a culture which might be completely different from your own.

__1__ Before I moved to Sicily I had travelled around the whole of Italy, the south and the north, and I absolutely fell in love with the culture and the language, so I was inspired to learn the language and also to move here. And here I am now，living in Sicily.

__2__ When you get back home, you'Il have lots of stories to tell your friends and family. Even if something isn't very fun, it will be funny to look back and laugh at those awkward or harsh moments. For example, I was travelling with a group of friends in Pisa and we took the wrong bus to get to the beach area, so we ended up being stuck in the rain and having to walk back.

When you travel，you expose yourself to different people. __3__ It's a great learning experience for both you and the other person because you can share and exchange your own ideas and opinions on a range of topics. For example，I met an Iranian philosopher and we talked about the nature of magic. A lot of his ideas were shaped by his Iranian background and Iranian philosophy. __4__

Travelling is the realization of home. __5__ Since I've been away from London, I've come to appreciate the little things that I used to take for granted, like our amazing transport—everything runs on time; everything runs well. So sometimes it takes being away from home to realize how much you absolutely love your hometown.

A．It was a really interesting discussion.

B．Travelling will make you a really good storyteller.

C．Travelling could enrich your awareness of the world.

D．They may have a completely different outlook on life.

E．We realize how much we miss our hometown when we travel.

G．Being away from home, we miss our friends and our family very much.

Ⅱ.完形填空

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。一个人看见一群大象被一根小绳子拴住，却没有挣脱。驯兽师告诉这个人这群大象从小就这样被拴着，所以它们一直认为它们没法挣脱。这个人进而悟出一个道理：人们不能因为一次失败就放弃斗争，因为失败也是学习的一部分。

1．答案与解析：D　根据下文“No chains, no cages. It was...that the elephants could, at any time...their ropes. For some reason, they did not...”可知，看到大象很容易挣脱绳子，但是它们没有，这让男子很困惑(confused)。

7．答案与解析：D　根据上文中的the same可知，是相同尺寸(size)的绳子。

8．答案与解析：A　根据上文when they are very young and much smaller可知，因为那时候大象还很小，所以那个绳子是可以拴住(hold)它们的。

9．答案与解析：C　根据上文As they grow up可知，成长过程中，大象习惯了(be used to)绳子的束缚。

10．答案与解析：D　根据上文“They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”可知，大象们长大后仍然认为这个绳子可以拴住它们，这让人感到惊讶(amazed)。

12．答案与解析：A　根据上文because they believed they couldn't可知，因为它们相信自己做不到，所以它们被困(stuck)在了那里。

13．答案与解析：B　根据上下文可知，与大象一样，我们中有多少人会经历(go through)这样的事情——坚持一种认为自己做不了某事的信念。

14．答案与解析：D　根据七下文可知，我们不能做某事，只是(simply)因为我们以前失败过。
