Cool, amazing, unforgettable… something money can’t buy! These are all words which students have used to describe their HOST visits. But a word they never use is “expensive”.

The British Council and Foreign Office founded (建立) HOST in 1987.

27. 细节理解题。根据“But a word they never use is ‘expensive’. Why not Because HOST visits are FREE.”可知，HOST visits项目是免费的，因此expensive“昂贵的”不能用来描述它。故选B。

John Smith is an exchange student from New York. Here is a letter to his friend in his hometown.
Dear David,
How time flies! It’s been 3 months since I came to China. I’m having a great time on my student exchange program here. So far, I’ve completely got used to the life here and have known a lot about traditional Chinese culture. I’d like to share some with you.
In China, there are many different kinds of traditional art forms, such as paper cutting, Chinese clay art and so on. Among them, the kite interests me most. The first ancient Chinese kite appeared more than 2,000 years ago. Then flying kites was spread into Japan, Korea and Malaysia during the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. Kites are regarded as the earliest craft (飞行器). They played an important role in the process of inventing the plane.
Tea culture is important in China. Tea was discovered as a kind of drink by accident about 5,000 years ago. It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. It didn’t appear in England until around 1660. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. Now tea has become one of the most popular drinks around the world.
Lastly, I’d like to tell you something about one of the traditional Chinese festivals — the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is on the fifteenth day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar (阴历). Chinese people have been celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for centuries.
If you’d like to know more about traditional Chinese culture, I will talk about it in the next letter.
Best wishes!
Yours,
John

It seems like only yesterday since I first started school in the Czech (捷克) Republic. It was a totally new country for me—a place where I was only supposed to stay for one year as an exchange student (交换生).
I still remember I was late that morning, as I got off at the wrong metro station (地铁站). I felt ashamed when I sent a text to my counselor (指导老师) that I would be late. After she picked me up at the station, she said, “Don’t worry, Linda. It’s fine to be late by just a few minutes. The teacher will understand.”
Later, as I walked to the classroom, my English teacher taught me some basic Czech sentences so I could introduce myself to my classmates.
The next moment was probably the most embarrassing of my life. I can still picture myself standing in front of 30 strangers and introducing myself in poor Czech. I wasn’t even sure whether they would understand me or not.
Nevertheless (然而), many of them came to my desk during the break and tried to make friends with me. They even went for a walk with me around the school after lunch.
Now, I’ve been studying in this country for three years. Every time I look back to my first day of senior high, I always wish that I wasn’t so shy. Though my new life didn’t start easily, I was so lucky to have my new classmates there to help and talk to me.
36. The author was late for her first day at school because ________.
A. her teacher was late to pick her up B. she didn’t know the metro system yet
C. she didn’t know where her school was D. her teacher allowed her to be late
37 What does the underlined word “embarrassing” mean in Chinese
A. 使人尴尬的 B. 使人兴奋的 C. 使人生气的 D. 使人讨厌的
38. The author’s classmates are ________.
A. serious B. friendly C. shy D. amazed
39. How long has the writer been in the Czech Republic
A. For one year. B. For two years. C. For three years. D. For four years.
40. A good title for the message might be ________.
A. An embarrassing experience B. My dear teacher and classmates
C. Farewell to the Czech Republic D. My life in the Czech Republic
【答案】BABCD
【解析】本文主要介绍了作者在捷克的经历。
36. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“I still remember I was late that morning, as I got off at the wrong metro station”可知，作者第一天上学迟到，因为她不了解地铁系统，她下错站了，故选B。
37. 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段中的“I can still……they would understand me or not”可知，作者用蹩脚的捷克语向陌生人自我介绍，不知道他们能否理解，推知作者很尴尬，所以“ embarrassing”是“使人尴尬的”的意思，故选A。
38 推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的“Nevertheless (然而), many of them came to my desk during the break and tried to make friends with me”可推知，作者的同学非常友好，故选B。

40 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了作者在捷克的经历，故选D。

Dear Mr White,
Thank you so much for giving me the chance to visit the US.
It’s really my great pleasure to be part of this programme. I have long hoped to visit the US and my favourite city is Washington D.C., the capital. I believe that I can learn a lot about American history and culture by travelling around the city. And I also want to visit a local high school because I heard that we two countries have very different ideas about education. I want to make friends with some students there.
Once again, thank you very much.
Best wishes,
Wang Hong

A
Cool, amazing, unforgettable… something money can’t buy! These are all words which students have used to describe their HOST visits. But a word they never use is “expensive”. Why not Because HOST visits are FREE. Our wonderful hosts are not paid. They love giving international students very special memories of the UK to take home with them. Students pay their own travel costs. And there is an application (申请表) which helps to pay for running the HOST program. But your university may pay all or part of the application fee for you.
The British Council and Foreign Office founded (建立) HOST in 1987.
It is a unique opportunity to experience the real life of Britain. It is safe — all the hosts are known by HOST. It may cost you only your train fare (费用) . You will learn things which the university cannot teach you.
You will have some very special memories to take home with you. Please don’t use HOST as a cheap form of tourism. It is about meeting people, sharing their lives.
You can apply for a HOST visit if you are: (A full-time student in the UK. HOST cannot accept application from outside the UK.) (Age 18+) HOST cannot accept applications from visiting family members or friends.

John Smith is an exchange student from New York. Here is a letter to his friend in his hometown.
Dear David,
How time flies! It’s been 3 months since I came to China. I’m having a great time on my student exchange program here. So far, I’ve completely got used to the life here and have known a lot about traditional Chinese culture. I’d like to share some with you.
In China, there are many different kinds of traditional art forms, such as paper cutting, Chinese clay art and so on. Among them, the kite interests me most. The first ancient Chinese kite appeared more than 2,000 years ago. Then flying kites was spread into Japan, Korea and Malaysia during the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. Kites are regarded as the earliest craft (飞行器). They played an important role in the process of inventing the plane.
Tea culture is important in China. Tea was discovered as a kind of drink by accident about 5,000 years ago. It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. It didn’t appear in England until around 1660. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. Now tea has become one of the most popular drinks around the world.
Lastly, I’d like to tell you something about one of the traditional Chinese festivals — the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is on the fifteenth day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar (阴历). Chinese people have been celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for centuries.
If you’d like to know more about traditional Chinese culture, I will talk about it in the next letter.
Best wishes!
Yours,
John

It seems like only yesterday since I first started school in the Czech (捷克) Republic. It was a totally new country for me—a place where I was only supposed to stay for one year as an exchange student (交换生).
I still remember I was late that morning, as I got off at the wrong metro station (地铁站). I felt ashamed when I sent a text to my counselor (指导老师) that I would be late. After she picked me up at the station, she said, “Don’t worry, Linda. It’s fine to be late by just a few minutes. The teacher will understand.”
Later, as I walked to the classroom, my English teacher taught me some basic Czech sentences so I could introduce myself to my classmates.
The next moment was probably the most embarrassing of my life. I can still picture myself standing in front of 30 strangers and introducing myself in poor Czech. I wasn’t even sure whether they would understand me or not.
Nevertheless (然而), many of them came to my desk during the break and tried to make friends with me. They even went for a walk with me around the school after lunch.
Now, I’ve been studying in this country for three years. Every time I look back to my first day of senior high, I always wish that I wasn’t so shy. Though my new life didn’t start easily, I was so lucky to have my new classmates there to help and talk to me.
36. The author was late for her first day at school because ________.
A. her teacher was late to pick her up B. she didn’t know the metro system yet
C. she didn’t know where her school was D. her teacher allowed her to be late
37 What does the underlined word “embarrassing” mean in Chinese
A. 使人尴尬的 B. 使人兴奋的 C. 使人生气的 D. 使人讨厌的
38. The author’s classmates are ________.
A. serious B. friendly C. shy D. amazed
39. How long has the writer been in the Czech Republic
A. For one year. B. For two years. C. For three years. D. For four years.
40. A good title for the message might be ________.
A. An embarrassing experience B. My dear teacher and classmates
C. Farewell to the Czech Republic D. My life in the Czech Republic

Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing. A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences of miscomunication.

Still the woman said nothing. Lisa later learned that the woman had answered her. The woman had raised her eyebrows and it means "yes" in Micronesia.
