本文是一篇记叙文，体现了“人与自我”的主题语境。本文主要讲述李明在家人的支持下成功考取英国的大学；去英国求学期间，他的寄宿家庭帮助他克服各种困难，这些使李明对拥有“两个”美好的家庭而充满感激之情。
1. C 选项：recalled记起，回想起；ceased停止；expected期待；tended 趋于。由下文的“With his efforts, he was 5 admitted into a good British college.”可知，他经过自己的努力，终于被一所不错的英国大学录取，故此处表示他“期待(expected)”去英国留学。
2. A 选项：expensive昂贵的；severe严重的；multiple数量多的；pure纯的。由下文“Though it cost his parents an arm and a leg, making their 3 tight”可知，他参加了一个英语俱乐部举办的“昂贵的(expensive)”活动。
3. D 选项：ambition夙愿，野心；qualification学历；infection感染；budget预算。由上文的“Though it cost his parents an arm and a leg”可知，他的父母花了一大笔钱，这使他们的家庭“预算(budget)”紧张。
4. B 选项：cast投射；gained获得；suspected怀疑；decreased减少。由本句“they sided with him, thinking it worthwhile as he 4 great insight and initiative”可知，他们支持他，认为这是值得的，因为他通过参加这个活动“获得(gained)”了深刻的洞察力和主动性。
5. D 选项：logically逻辑上地；sincerely真诚地；firmly坚定地；finally最后。由本句“With his efforts, he was 5 admitted into a good British college.”可知，他经过自己的努力，“最终(finally)”被一所不错的英国大学录取。
6. A 选项：sensed感觉到；boosted提升；overcame解决；bombed轰炸。由下文的“it was the first time that he had been away”和常识可知，当他动身去英国时，他能“感觉到(sensed)”他父母的担忧，因为这是他第一次离开父母。
7. B 选项：unique独特的；mature成熟的；gifted有天赋的；devoted专心的。上文提到他参加了一个英语俱乐部举办的活动，接触了英语并能应用所学的知识，获得了深刻的洞察力和主动性。又根据本句“He comforted them, saying he was 7 enough to adapt to new surroundings.”可知，他安慰他们，说他足够“成熟(mature)”去适应新的环境。
8. C 选项：transforming转变；cooperating配合；arriving抵达；behaving表现。由上文“boarding the plane”及空后的“the airport”可知，他“到达(arriving)”了机场。
9. C 选项：convincing说服；reminding提醒；motivating鼓励；educating教育。由下文“overcome culture shock”可知，约翰帮助李明很多，“鼓励(motivating)”他克服文化冲击。
10. B 选项：shift转移；strengthen加强；expand扩大；estimate估计。由本句“John brought Li Ming to get involved in many activities to further 10 his speaking ability”可知，约翰带着李明参加了许多活动，进一步“加强(strengthen)”了他的表达能力。
11. A 选项：grasped抓住；cited引用；handled处理；linked联系。上文提到李明进一步加强了自身的表达能力，又由本句的“every chance to present his idea from different 12 ”可知，他“抓住(grasped)”每一个机会从不同的“角度(angles)”表达自己的观点。
12. A 选项：angles角度；findings发现；proofs证据；statistics数据。见上题解析。
13. C 选项：blame责备；assist帮助；offer自愿给予，提供；alter改变。从空后的“Tang Poems to thank him as John liked Chinese poetry”及下文的“Happiness exploded when John received the gift.”可知，约翰喜欢中国诗歌，李明想“给(offered)”约翰一本《唐诗》作礼物来感谢他。
14. B 选项：After all毕竟；In summary总之；For instance例如；By contrast相比之下。上文提到李明在家人的支持下考取英国的大学，去到英国后有寄宿家庭 (his host family) 帮助。通读全文可知，最后一段是对全文的总结，所以此处需要一句概括性的话：“总之(In summary)”，李明拥有“两个”美好的“家庭”，对生活充满了巨大的感激，family属于词语复现。
15. D 选项：interventions干涉；outcomes结果；belts腰带，地带；families家庭。见上题解析。

1. an 考查冠词。表示泛指“一个”交流项目，用不定冠词；又因exchange以元音音素开头，故填an。
2. her 考查代词。在名词前作定语，用形容词性物主代词。
3. to set 考查非谓语动词。表示尚未发生的事情，故用不定式作表语。
4. had left 考查动词的时态。“It/This/That was the first/the second/…time (that)＋过去完成时”表示“某人第一/第二/……次……”。
5. whose 考查连词。分析句子结构可知，此处为非限制性定语从句，关系词在定语从句中作定语，修饰members，故填whose。
6. to 考查介词。因get use to doing sth为固定搭配，意为“习惯做某事”。
7. was told 考查时态和语态。由by可知，表示主语she与tell之间是被动关系，且结合文章时态可知，应用一般过去时，故填was told。
8. included 考查非谓语动词。因句中已有谓语动词found，include应为非谓语动词；又因逻辑主语students’ participation与include是被动关系，故用过去分词作宾补。
9. Luckily 考查词性转换。修饰整个句子，用副词作状语，故填Luckily。
10. activities 考查名词单复数。表示泛指的“社会活动”，用复数。
