11. Here's an imaginary question for you: would you rather leave your home country and never be allowed to return, or never leave your home country ever again
It's a difficult one! Let's consider the beauty of being at home and the thrill of travelling. I left my home country, Germany, when I was seven to move to England with my family. Now at the age of 21, I've left my second home country, England, to work as an English language assistant in Switzerland. ①_____

12. I'm a student in my fourth year of a biomedical science degree at the Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, but I also work 35 hours a week at Sainsbury's to make ends meet. I do three night shifts a week, plus overtime if I can get it. Monday is the most occupied day for me—I work from 10 pm until 8 am on Saturday and Sunday nights, earning just over 100 a night, and then I have to be at my first lecture at 9 am on Monday. By the time I finish lectures at 2 pm, I'm exhausted, but I know I have to be back at work by 10 pm.
I constantly have to force myself to stay awake, and to be alert, whatever it takes. A packet of Skittles and a Red Bull usually help. The work I do at Sainsbury's is very physical like stacking shelves. I'm lucky because I'm an active person and the amount I lift at work is nothing compared with the weights I lift in the gym. I know I have the strength to bear them.
I'm originally from Nigeria. I came here when I was seven, growing up in Croydon, south London. Money was tight. My parents gave me everything I needed, but there was no money to spend on luxuries(奢侈品). I worked hard at school and, with the help of GT Scholars, I got some of the best A-level grades in my class.
Unfortunately, though I had applied for "settled" British residential status when very young, the Home Office waited until I was in the sixth form to approve my application. That meant I wasn't eligible for a student loan. The only way I could afford to go to university was that I got a job that would pay for all my living costs and my parents, who work in market research, paid for my tuition fees. In Scotland, that's about 7,000 a year.
I don't have much time to socialize because of my job. Ideally, I would also like to have more time to study so I can excel(突出) at my course. Yes, I have a lot on my plate, but working hard isn't new to me. Growing up, my parents and my mentors in the church and at GT Scholars cultivated in me the importance of working hard for what I want in life.
My dream is to get an MA in physiotherapy next year and then get a job working for the NHS. But right now, I'm just focusing on trying to get the best grades I can. Whenever I find life hard, I tell myself this is about my future. I don't need much, but I would like to worry less about money and have more free time. That is what I look forward to the most.
1.Why does the author work long hours and sometimes overtime every week
A.To pay for his own living expenses. B.To pay for his tuition fees.
C.To prove his ability to earn money. D.To help his parents pay off the debts.
2.The underlined word "eligible" in the passage can be replaced by _____.
A.responsible B.anxious C.qualified D.accessible
3.According to the passage, which of the following words can NOT be used to describe the author
A.Ambitious. B.Diligent. C.Sociable. D.Persistent.
4.Which of the following proverbs can best summarize the passage
A.A penny saved is a penny earned. B.Actions speak louder than words.
C.God helps those who help themselves. D.Where there is life, there is hope.
答案以及解析
1.答案：applicants
解析：考查词性转换。句意:如果申请人达不到这些要求,他们就不能被研究生院录取。由the可知设空处在从句中作主语,应使用名词形式,由they和be admitted to可知此处指人且应用复数形式。故填applicants。
2.答案：exposure
解析：考查名词。设空处被形容词Long-term修饰且句子缺少主语,故填名词exposure。Exposure to..意为"接触……"。故填exposure。
3.答案：engagement
4.答案：qualified
5.答案：eagerly
6.答案：It's; a; pity; that; she; can't; come; to; the; activity
7.答案：Which; college; I; want; to; go; to
8.答案：When; they; will; come
9.答案：my; only; ambition; is; to; get; back; home; and; serve; my; hometown
10.答案：It; was; the; first; time; that
11.答案：①-⑤ GFAED
解析：①过渡句。空后各个小标题列出的是在国外生活的好处, G项"离开祖国到国外进行新的冒险有什么好处 "恰恰是上文与下文的过渡衔接。故选G。
②细节句。根据本段小标题确定信息词为New friends, 而F项中出现了new friends, 且与空后They'll also相呼应。故选F。
③主题句。根据文章结构可以看出, 设空处应为小标题。小标题下内容主要讲旅居外国是掌握一门新语言的好机会。故选A。
④细节句。空前说到在国外的一大优势是可以向当地人学习地道的外语, 设空处是关于语言的另一大优势—你也可以充分体验与语言相关的文化。故选E。
⑤细节句。设空处所在段的主题是食物, 那么可以把food看作信息词, 到选项中找到与food有关的选项, 选项D"更棒的是可以让当地人教你做美食。"与food有关, 且能将设空处前后句衔接起来。故选D。
12.答案：1-4 ACCC
解析： 1.细节理解题。根据第一段中的to make ends meet可知, 作者之所以每周工作很长时间, 有时甚至加班, 是为了给自己挣生活费。故选A。干扰项分析: B项(支付他的学费), 学费是他的父母支付的; C项(证明自己赚钱的能力)和D项(帮父母还债), 文中未提及。故选A。
2.词义猜测题。由后文的The only way I...a year.可知, 我没有资格申请学生贷款。由此推知, 画线词的意思是"合格的, 有资格的"。故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据第五段中的"I don't have much time to socialize because of my job."可知, 因为工作的关系, 作者没有太多的时间社交。所以sociable(好交际的)不能用来描述作者。故选C。
4.主旨大意题。本文讲述的是作者每周工作很长时间, 有时甚至加班, 这是为了支付自己的生活费。再根据最后一段中的"Whenever I find life hard, I tell myself this is about my future."(每当我发现生活艰难时, 我告诉自己这是为了我的未来)可知, 谚语"God helps those who help themselves."(天助自助者), 是对这篇文章的最好概括。故选C。Unit 2 Bridging Cultures Reading for Writing—2023-2024学年高二英语人教版（2019）选择性必修第二册课时分层练
