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，Marne－la－Vallee.
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 are second to none.

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) 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 realized 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 apologizing 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.

Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years，but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.When the world was still populated by hunter－gatherers，small，tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other.Some language experts believe that 10，000 years ago，when the world had just five to ten million people，they spoke perhaps 12，000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards，many of those people started settling down to become farmers，and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number.In recent centuries，trade，industrialization，the development of the nation－state and the spread of universal compulsory education，especially globalization and better communications in the past few decades，all have caused many languages to disappear，and dominant languages such as English，Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
At present，the world has about 6，800 languages.The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven.The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages，often spoken by many people while hot，wet zones have lots，often spoken by small numbers.Europe has only around 200 languages；the Americas about 1，000；Africa 2，400；and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3，200，of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800.The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6，000，which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
Already well over 400 of the total of 6，800 languages are close to extinction(消亡)，with only a few elderly speakers left.Pick，at random，Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers)，Chiapaneco in Mexico(150)．Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia(one，with a question－mark)：none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
28．What can we infer about languages in hunter－gatherer times
A．They developed very fast.
B．They were large in number.
C．They had similar patterns.
D．They were closely connected.
29．Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in Paragraph 2
A．Complex. B．Advanced.
C．Powerful. D．Modern.
30．How many languages are spoken by less than 6，000 people at present
A．About 6，800. B．About 3，400.
C．About 2，400. D．About 1，200.
31．What is the main idea of the text
A．New languages will be created.
B．People's lifestyles are reflected in languages.
C．Human development results in fewer languages.
D．Geography determines language evolution.

What do you use your fridge for：It can not only keep your food cold，but also make ice and freeze food.But in the future smart fridges may do much more than you can think.They may tell you what food is inside，what food you need，what food is healthy for you，and even shop for you，too!
Some companies are making online fridges which have a computer screen on the door.And it can be very useful that the computer is linked to a supermarket through the Internet.For example，when you finish your orange juice，you can put the empty juice carton(纸盒包装) near the computer screen.The computer reads the bar code on the juice carton.Then it orders more orange juice from the supermarket.You can also use the computer screen to order other things from the supermarket.The computer screen has a series of things that are in the store.You can choose what you need.The supermarket will send the food to your home.
Companies are making other kinds of “smart” appliances(电器)，too.There is a new kind of microwave oven(微波炉) which has a computer memory.It can remember 365 different cookbooks.There is also a smart mixer that can remember cookbooks.Even it can test ingredients for you!
Of course，sometimes these smart appliances don't work.When they do，they will tell you.And then they can call someone to fix them，too!
32．Your fridges can do the following things except ________．

C．keep food cold D．freeze food

Grady and his family go camping every summer. As it was becoming hotter, here came the camping time.
Having planned the camp long, the family finally decided the destination ----the Great National Forest. With food, necessity and cookers loadted onto the car, the family squeezed into the car. The car door closed; heat was shut outside.
In the car, Jared，Grady's younger brother was playing with a toy dinosaur, making great noise. Grady’s mother talked excitedly with his father. On settling in the car, Grady put on the earphone and turned on the music. He neither wanted to join his brother nor join in any talk. After what seemed to be hours, the car stopped where they headed. Grady threw down his backpack and slammed the door.
“ This will be a long week,” he said unhappily to no one in particular. He looked around the campground. Hundreds of tall and green fur trees, some as tall as church towers, covered the mountainside like a green carpet. The sun would be setting soon. Grady thought maybe the heat wouldn't be unbearable. But actually now in the mountain the hot sickness of July was closely attached to him.
Grady hated camping, but it was something his family stuck to every summer. His father liked cooking over an open fire, telling stories about how to survive things like bear attacks and bites of bees. His mother and Jared liked to hike and take pictures of animals. Jared had a collection of pictures that he had pinned to the wars in his half of their room. Grady thought they were just scary and proof that Jared was a strange kid.
They set up camp---- two tents, one for his parents and one for himself and Jared. While everyone else started preparing dinner, Grady, looking for some place to cool down, set off for the nearby stream, which was deep enough to swim in.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1：
As Grady got close to the stream, an adorable bear cub（幼崽） caught his eye.
_______________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2：
Turning around, he saw an angry bear moving swiftly towards him.

54．D 记住，今天很重要，因为我们正在用生命(life)中的一天来交换它。
55．C 昨天已是历史，明天还很神秘，今天是个礼物(gift)，这就是为什么我们称它(今天)为present。present在此处是一语双关，既有“礼物”的意思，与选项gift对应，又有“现在，当下”的意思。

Paragraph 1：
As Grady got close to the stream, an adorable bear cub（幼崽） caught his eye.Though Grady didn't like animals, he couldn't resist such a lovely bear cub measuring no more than two feet tall with a cute face. it was playing pretty joyfully at the edge of the stream. So absorbed was the bear cub in playing that it wasn't aware that someone was approaching. Driven by curiosity, Grady walked on tiptoe, moving closer to have a look at it. Suddenly he heard a sound behind him.
Paragraph 2：
Turning around, he saw an angry bear moving swiftly towards him. Shocked and dumb, Grady was rooted to the ground for seconds, and then dashed to the camp desperately, shouting for help in the meantime. Fortunately, Grady's father heard the shout and came to his assistance. To their surprise, realizing the danger was away, the furry giant stopped chasing and returned to the stream, picking up her baby and holding it in her in arms tightly. In the distance, attracted by the noise, Jerry and his mother took a photo of the bear cub and his mother.
