When you study abroad in France, you can expect to be treated the same as your native classmates, whether in a lecture or a discussion class.
While you can study abroad in France and focus on nearly any subject, it’s the students with a passion for the arts, architecture （建筑学）and history that rush to the country in the largest numbers. And that’s no shock, considering that France has been the center of the arts for centuries.
As students of the arts, you will have to make careful use of your time, given all that France has to offer：
Visit the Louvre to view the works of French artists such as Monet, Matisse and Renoir；
Read the works of such French literary geniuses as Baudelaire, Proust and Voltaire；
Listen to the music of Debussy, or more contemporary （当代的） artists like Air and Daft Punk.
France is also a main destination for architecture students, as you will see architecture in nearly every style：
The Gothic Chateau de Chambord, built in the 1500s；
Place Dauphine built in 1607 in Baroque style；
The post-modern housing development, Marnela-Vallée.
History students will find that France has been where the action is for quite some time. Over the course of the centuries, it has been the stage for the most important developments in the history of mankind, including the French Revolution, the rise of Napoleon and the rise of the Fifth Republic under President Charles de Gaulle. It was also the site of the D-Day invasion （诺曼底登陆）of World War Ⅱ.
As a possible study-abroad location, France has a lot to offer, because the combination of educational institutions （教育机构）, arts and culture, and national history is second to none.
1. What can we learn about studying abroad in France from the text
A. Few students choose to study in France.
B. There are many lectures and discussion classes.
C. Students from foreign countries are usually treated badly.
D. France is the best place for students who love the arts.
2. What can art students do on weekends
A. Enjoy Voltaire’s music.
B. Listen to Proust’s music.
C. Read Renoir’s literary works.
D. View Monet’s works in the Louvre.
3. The text is most likely taken from __________.

Have you ever heard the expression “when pigs fly”？It is a saying people use to express that something is very unlikely to happen—as unlikely as pigs growing wings and flying like birds！For example，a person who hates riding roller coasters might tell a friend，“I’ll go on that ride with you when pigs fly.”
Well，one pig in San Francisco may not be flying，but she is helping people relax before they fly in planes.
Li Lou is a small pig working at the San Francisco airport.She is a treatment animal.That means she is calm and likes to be touched by humans.She and other treatment animals aim to help travelers who get nervous about flying in planes.She was trained by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA).
This is Li Lou's first week on the job as a member of the airport’s “wag brigade”.She only works at the airport once a month，so not all travelers to the San Francisco airport will see her.But you might see some of her fellow treatment animals.
She works alongside a group of trained dogs.Their trainers walk around the airport with them.The animals wear signs that say “Pet me！”
The pig Li Lou has been getting a lot of attention at the airport and on social media.One Twitter user said he made fun of the airport’s decision to provide a relaxing yoga room for travelers，but he fully supported Li Lou.
Li Lou is the first pig to be ever certified by the SPCA in San Francisco.Jennifer Henley is the manager of the SPCA’s program.“It’s wonderful to witness the surprise and delight that Li Lou brings to people during treatment visits，” she said.
1.Why does the author mention the pig expression at the beginning of the text
A.To value animals.
B.To introduce the topic.
C.To explain its meaning.
D.To introduce a wonder.
2.How does the small pig benefit passengers
A.It can touch and calm them.
B.It can satisfy their curiosity.
C.It can let them feel peaceful.
D.It can make them feel excited.
3.What is Jennifer Henley’s attitude towards the pet program
A.Disappointed. B.Nervous. C.Annoyed. D.Satisfied.
四、语法填空
Voyages of people from England played 1__________ important part in spreading the English language. At present, English is 2__________ （frequent） spoken as an official or a common language in many countries, such 3__________ America, Singapore, Malaysia and some African countries. All based on British English, the English 4__________ （speak） in these countries can be well understood by native English speakers.
