【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要为游客介绍了加拿大的一些情况，包括著名的景点、城市、交通、购物，还提到了加拿大的经济状况以及农业产品等。

1．B　细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Travel in Canada has become exciting as a number of lakes including Great Lakes in Canada make it attractive. ”和最后一句“Travellers from around the world come in large numbers to enjoy the sunbath at various beaches. ”可知，在加拿大最吸引游客的是湖泊和海滩。故选B。

【语篇导读】这是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了一个17岁离家的男孩作为交换生生活在国外时面临的一些挑战，但是这种经历也让他变得更明智和自信。

1．A　句意：他居住在一套没有电梯、只有一台供300户家庭使用的洗衣机的公寓。live住；move搬家，移动；turn转向；take带走。根据空格后“in an apartment”可知，此处指居住在一套公寓中。故选A。

2．C　句意：他学会了在浴缸里手洗衣服，并且因为水太贵了，他训练自己在五分钟内洗完头发。try试图；ask问；learn学习；force迫使。故选C。

3．A　句意同上。since因为；although虽然；unless除非；once一旦。设空处引导原因状语从句，表示“因为”，应用since。故选A。

4．C　句意同第2题。arrange安排；comb梳；wash洗；adopt采取。故选C。

5．A　句意：所以有六个月的时间，他和他在美国的家人和朋友完全没有联系。contact联系；quarrel争吵；letter信；chance机会。结合上文“At that time there were no cellphones and the Internet didn’t exist. ”可知，没有手机和网络，因此他和他在美国的家人和朋友没有任何联系。故选A。

6．B　句意：他在那里没有亲戚，所以他需要面对这样一个事实：他的适应能力和为自己创造生活的能力完全依靠他自己。turn转动；need需要；pretend假装；stop停止。根据空前的“He had no relatives”可知男孩需要面对后面提到的事实。故选B。

7．D　句意：在十七岁这个年龄，他对朋友的需求非常强烈，而一个人都不认识使他沮丧和焦虑不安。impossible不可能的；hopeless绝望的；beneficial有益的；strong强烈的。根据空格后的“not knowing a soul depressed him and caused him anxiety”可知，男孩对朋友的需求很强烈。故选D。

8．C　句意：增加了他的焦虑的是，他不会说当地的语言，对货币体系和交通系统也不熟悉。adapt适应；apply应用；add增加；attend出席。上文提到在当地没有朋友造成了男孩的沮丧和焦虑，而后文提到他不会说当地的语言更是增加了这种焦虑。此处构成词组add to，意为“增加”。故选C。

9．B　句意同上。truth真理；language语言；fact事实；word单词。根据后文“in a foreign language”可知，此处指他不会说当地的语言。故选B。

10．D　句意：他面临的另一个挑战是他的寄宿家庭。scene场景；shortage缺乏；fault错误；challenge挑战。结合后文提到他所寄宿的家庭英语说得最少(或最差)，可以推断出，这是他在外国面临的又一个挑战。故选D。

11．A　句意：在国外生活和提高一门外语的流利程度需要坚持和决心。fluency流畅；trouble麻烦；faith信任；fame名声。结合空格后的“in a foreign language”可知，用fluency与之搭配，指提高一门外语的流利程度。故选A。

12．C　句意同上。imagination想象力；consideration考虑；determination决心；preparation准备。结合上文“persistence and”可知用determination与之并列，表示需要坚持和决心。其他选项不符合语境。故选C。

13．B　句意：在这个过程中他犯了很多错误。根据空格后“the way”可知，此处构成固定短语along the way，意为“一路上；在过程中”。故选B。

14．D　句意：现在他把那些不快的回忆变成了他的荣誉勋章。confirm确认；trade交易；convince说服；transform转换。结合空格后“his disagreeable memories into his medal of honor”可知，此处构成短语transform…into…，意为“把……转变成……”。故选D。

15．B　句意：它们是带给他智慧的珍贵的故事，让他对朋友和家人有了深入的了解，也让他有了克服未来的挑战的信心。advantage优势；confidence信心；promise承诺；intention意图。故选B。
