My Year Abroad
This month in Travellers Corner there are three teenagers’ experiences in year-abroad programmes.
Mariko Okada—Tokyo 
My year abroad in the United States was a fantastic experience. I’m not a shy person, and I was very comfortable speaking to everyone. So I got lots of speaking practice. I also learned lots of interesting things about American culture. When I got home, my friends all said that I had improved so much! I hope to go back again in the future.
Carla Fonseca—Rio de Janeiro 
I spent last year studying English in London. I’m from a small town, and London is a very big city. Sometimes I felt it was too big. There were so many people to talk to, but I always felt bad about my English. I missed my family, and I really missed my two cats. My roommate was always using our telephone, so I hardly had the chance for a nice long talk with my parents. I think it was a good experience for me, but I’m glad to be home!
Alvin Chen—Hong Kong 
Studying in New Zealand was an interesting experience for me, but it was also lots of hard work! I had English classes six hours a day, five days a week—with lots of homework. I also kept a diary of my experience. I like to write, and I wrote two or three pages in my diary every day. On Saturdays, my homestay family took me to lots of interesting places and showed me so many wonderful things about the culture. I’m really glad I went!

I travel a lot in my work, and what I dislike about my job is eating alone. It always makes me feel lonely to see others laughing and talking. So, room service for several nights was a better choice for me.
After having room service three nights at a hotel in Houston, however, I needed to get out of my room. Although the restaurant opened at 6:30 a.m., I arrived at 6:25 a.m. The waiter at the front desk made a comment about my “being there really early”. I explained my dislike of eating alone in restaurants. He then seated me at a lovely table and asked me whether I would mind if he sat down with me for a while.
I was glad! He sat and talked with me about his career goals and the difficulty of being at work on nights, weekends and holidays. He said he didn’t have enough time to be with his family. After 15 minutes, he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself. I noticed that before he went to the front desk, he stopped in the kitchen for a moment.
Then another waiter came out of the kitchen and had a wonderful chat with me. Before I left that night, some other waiters, even the cook, had come out of the kitchen and sat with me!
When I asked for my bill about one hour later, all the people who had sat down with me came over in a big group to my table, and presented me with a red rose. And I cried! What had begun as a lonely night ended as a beautiful experience.

C
When school started on that warm August day, I threw myself into everything I did, including playing volleyball. I decided to become beautiful, or at the very least, skinny. I stopped eating completely. Soon I began losing weight, which thrilled me, and I even grew to love the tiredness and lightheadedness(头晕目眩) that came with my poor diet, for those feelings meant that I was winning.
As the season progressed, things had become tense between my head volleyball coach, Coach Smith, and me. She felt that something was wrong with my health. She talked with me about my eating and was angry that I wouldn’t listen to her when she tried to make me eat. She tried to persuade me in a determined way and so we fought constantly. Then my hunger started to affect my performance. I was so tired that practice and games were becoming a struggle. One afternoon, with hurt in her eyes, Coach Smith asked me what I had eaten and I told her nothing yet. She looked at me, disappointment in her eyes, knowing she couldn’t make me stop, and walked away.
A couple of weeks later I attended a formal dinner for our volleyball team. I stood there as my coach managed to say something nice about me. I realised then that I had ruined my senior year by being disrespectful, and I had probably ruined hers as well. So that evening I wrote her a letter apologising and thanking her.
Then one Saturday, as I was reading in the library, I felt someone gently take my arm and say softly, “Lynn Jones, how are you doing?” I looked up and saw the familiar face. “Thanks for the letter,” she said. “It meant a lot.”
When I think of a coach, I think of someone above me, someone who gives instruction—not a friend. But Coach Smith is different, and, like any other good friend, she dealt with my problem in a determined way even when I hated her for it at that time. I didn’t deserve her kindness, but she gave it anyway. I will forever be grateful for her help, and now for her friendship.
28. How did the author feel when she had a poor diet and had a sense of tiredness?
A. Funny. B. Nervous.
C. Proud. D. Ashamed.
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段“Soon I began losing weight, which thrilled me, and I even grew to love the tiredness and lightheadedness that came with my poor diet, for those feelings meant that I was winning.”可推断出,当作者由于饮食不合理而感到疲倦时,她感觉很骄傲,故选C。
答案:C
29. Why did the author fight with Coach Smith?
A. She refused to go on a diet.
B. She caused failure of her team.
C. She kept her idea of losing weight.
D. She changed the training course.
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段“She talked with me about my eating and was angry that I wouldn’t listen to her when she tried to make me eat. She tried to persuade me in a determined way and so we fought constantly.”可推断出,作者与史密斯教练争吵是因为她坚持她的减肥想法,故选C。
答案:C
30. Why did the author write a letter to Coach Smith?
A. She felt sorry for eating too little food.
B. She was grateful for Smith’s care for her health.
C. She decided to improve her performance.
D. She wanted to build a close relationship with Smith.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段“I realised then that I had ruined my senior year by being disrespectful, and I had probably ruined hers as well. So that evening I wrote her a letter apologising and thanking her.”由此可知,作者写信给史密斯教练是因为她感谢教练关心她的健康,故选B。
答案:B
31. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. My Way of Losing Weight
B. A Fight with My Coach
C. A Strict Volleyball Coach
D. Unexpected Friendship
解析:标题归纳题。最后一段中的“I will forever be grateful for her help, and now for her friendship.”是全文的主题句。结合全文内容可知,这篇文章主要讲述作者由于减肥而影响了训练和身体健康,教练真诚劝告,但作者并不领情。后来,作者意识到自己对教练的无礼,写信向教练道歉,并表示感谢,两个人成为好朋友。所以《意外的友谊》体现了本文的主题,适合作为标题。故选D。
答案:D
D
If you’re planning to travel overseas, the most common form of transportation is by airplane. Knowing the whole procedure(程序) from buying plane tickets to dealing with in-flight emergencies(紧急事件) can ensure that you have a pleasurable trip.
First of all, choosing an airline carrier might depend on a number of factors including the company’s service record, price of the ticket, length of time to the destination, and even in-flight service.
Now, once you’ve bought your ticket, you still need to make the long journey through the airport. Once you arrive, you usually check your bags at the main ticket counter. Then, you have to pass through the security checkpoint, where you will have to walk through an X-ray machine, and they will check your carry-on bags for any forbidden items, including firearms, explosives, and knives. Of course, this is for everyone’s safety. You might also be asked to open your bags to be carefully checked.
Once you pass through this checkpoint, then you will go to the appointed boarding area and gate to wait for your plane. Just wait there until they say that your flight is here for you to go boarding.
Of course, once you are aboard the plane, no one ever wants to experience any emergencies, but the plane is equipped with emergency exits in case you have to leave the plane. There are also life jackets under the seats, and oxygen masks in case the plane’s cabin(机舱) unexpectedly loses pressure. Be sure to read the safety instruction card located in the pocket of the seat in front of you.
32. What is the first step for travelling by plane?
A. Choosing an airline carrier.
B. Buying a plane ticket.
C. Dealing with in-flight emergencies.
D. Checking your bags at the main ticket counter.　
解析:细节理解题。根据题干first提示,并结合文章第二段中“First of all, choosing an airline carrier might depend on a ...”提示可知,首先选择航空公司,故选A。
答案:A
33. Where do you have to go through an X-ray machine?
A. At the ticket office.
B. At the main ticket counter.
C. At the appointed boarding area.
D. At the security checkpoint.
解析:细节理解题。根据题干X-ray提示,并结合文章第三段中“Then, you have to pass through the security checkpoint, where you will have to walk through an X-ray machine ...”可知选D。
答案:D
34. What should you do if the plane loses pressure?
A. Leave the plane at once.
B. Wear the life jacket and the oxygen mask.
C. Read the safety instruction card.
D. Wait in your seat silently.
解析:细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“There are also life jackets under the seats, and oxygen masks in case the plane’s cabin unexpectedly loses pressure.”提示,紧急情况(失去压力)时,穿上救生衣和戴上面罩,故选B。
答案:B
35. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To introduce some steps for travelling by plane.
B. To tell passengers how to keep safe on a plane.
C. To show people some good ways to travel overseas.
D. To explain why planes have X-ray machines.
解析:写作意图题。作者写这篇文章主要是介绍乘飞机旅行时的步骤,故选A。
答案:A
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to Plan a Holiday Trip
36. Whether it’s to grandma’s house, a family reunion or simply a holiday getaway, these yearly road trips can often be the source of dread and stress. The thought of being trapped in the car with restless children or the possibility of car trouble along the way is enough to make anyone consider staying home. 37.
Plan out the route for your car trip. If you’re planning on driving to your holiday destination, a little planning can help make your trip easy and uneventful. 38. Remember, it’s likely that you won’t be the only person on the road during the holidays, and traffic is always a factor. Alternative routes or shortcuts can help reduce time spent in traffic jams and get you to your destination sooner. This information can also come in handy in case of road construction or other situations that might block your primary route.
39. _______ Although travelling by air can be quick and convenient, it can also be much more expensive. Start planning your trip early to take advantage of advance purchase discounts and avoid sold out flights. Many airlines become extremely busy during the holidays so booking in advance can also help ensure that you get the flights that you want. High traffic destinations such as New York, Los Angeles or Atlanta can be extremely crowded during the holidays. If you have the option, consider booking your flight to a nearby airport and renting a car for the short drive to your destination.
Consider your luggage needs. If you’re travelling by car, the issue of luggage is only important with regard to the amount of room needed. Before you begin packing, think about how many people will be in your vehicle and how much room they will need to travel comfortably. This could affect the number of bags that you can take along. 40. Not only is the possibility of lost luggage an issue, but most airlines now charge extra for checked baggage.
For a family of four, carrying a few bags each could result in several hundred dollars’ worth of baggage fees during your trip. Try to pack as lightly as possible.

A. As an alternative to driving or flying, check into the possibility of travelling by train.
B. Plan your trip to avoid peak travel times.
C. Luckily, with a little planning, these situations can be avoided.
D. Book airline tickets.
E. Each year, millions of people load up the family car and set out on a holiday trip.
F. For travelling by air, the number of bags that you take is a much bigger concern.
G. Consider your starting point and desired destination, and investigate several possible routes.
36. 解析:后面一句列举了生活中的许多种旅行,由此可知,此处缺一个关于旅行的总述句。E项“每年,数百万人将行李装上车、动身去假期旅行”,切题。故选E。
答案:E
37. 解析:前一句讲述旅行中可能遇到的问题,再根据下文提出的具体解决方法可知,C项“幸运的是,做好规划,这些问题都能避免”承上启下,故选C。
答案:C
38. 解析:根据后面的两句话“记住,你不是唯一一个在度假路上的人,交通总是一个因素。变更路线,寻找捷径能帮助你减少交通拥堵的时间,让你更快地到达目的地。”可知,G项“要考虑你的出发点和想去的目的地,调查几条可能的路线”切题。故选G。
答案:G
39. 解析:根据后面的句子可知,本段是关于乘坐飞机的一些建议。D项“订机票”是本段的大意。故选D。
答案:D
40. 解析:根据前一句 “This could affect the number of bags that you can take along.”可知“这可能影响你所带行李的数量”。再根据后一句“这不仅可能会丢失一些行李,而且目前大多数航空公司会收取额外的费用”可知,F项涉及了包裹数量,最为恰当。故选F。
答案:F

The Story of Atlanta
Atlanta was a Greek princess. She was very beautiful and could run faster than any man in Greece. But she was not allowed to run or win glory for herself in the Olympic Games. She was so angry that she said to her father that she would not marry anyone who could not run faster than her. Her father said that she must marry, so Atlanta made a bargain with him. She said to him, “These are my rules. When a man says he wants to marry me, I will run against him. If he cannot run as fast as me, he will be killed. No one will be pardoned.”
Many kings and princes wanted to marry Atlanta, but when they heard of her rules they knew it was hopeless. So many of them sadly went home, but others stayed to run the race. There was a man called Hippomenes who was amazed when he heard of Atlanta’s rules. “Why are these men so foolish?” he thought. “Why will they let themselves be killed because they cannot run as fast as this princess?” However, when he saw Atlanta come out of her house to run, Hippomenes changed his mind. “I will marry Atlanta—or die!” he said.
The race started and although the men ran very fast, Atlanta ran faster. As Hippomenes watched, he thought, “How can I run as fast as Atlanta?” He went to ask the Greek Goddess of Love for help. She promised to help him and gave him three golden apples. She said, “Throw an apple in front of Atlanta when she is running past. When she stops to pick it up, you will be able to run past her and win.”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式作答。
Hippomenes took the apples and went to the king. He said, “I want to marry Atlanta.” The king was so sad to see another man die that he advised him to give up. But Hippomenes said,“I will marry her—or die!” So the race began. Hippomenes was waiting nervously when Atlanta came out. She thought, “I don’t want this man to be killed!” So she said to her father, “Tell him to go home. The race is cancelled today.” However, Hippomenes insisted on running, and added, “This is the rule: She will marry whoever runs faster than her!” 
When the race began, Atlanta ran past him. Thinking of what the Goddess of Love had said, Hippomenes threw the golden apples one after another in front of her. Surprised to see the attractive golden apples, Atlanta stopped to pick them up. Meanwhile, Hippomenes ran past her as fast as he could. Finally, to everyone’s surprise, he won. As a result, Atlanta married him and they lived happily ever after.
