The program, organized by a company in Wuhan, aims at providing the city’s high school graduates with new job chances.
Applicants (申请者) must first pass an exam given by the German side and pay 180 000 yuan covering the three year’s study and living expenses in Germany. In spite of this, the program still attracted a lot of high school graduates and their parents. And applicants came in a continuous stream.
“The change for my child to go to college is small. What’s more, it’s not easy to find a job. We find the work-study program an equally good way out for him,” a parent said, “We don’t worry much about the high costs because the total income from the two-year-long practice will be quite enough to clear them.”

If you are planning to study in the United States, you need to consider several factors. Everyone has different opinions about where the best places to live in also; the best places to live are not always home to the best schools. Finally, many schools specialize in different areas of study. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for example, is a great school for computer science and technology-based fields of study, However, if you want to study oceanography, your interests may be better served by attending school in a place that is on a coastline or near the ocean.
Now I am sure that you know which schools are considered the best in the country. So I will tell you about which states I believe are the best to live in.
California is a nice state. Northern California specifically has very good weather. Los Angeles in southern California is another story though. Life in LA is full of excitement and fast, and sometimes—dangerous. As for me, I enjoyed the history and culture. The weather is not as perfect as California, but it is still quite nice. My favorite area of America is the Mid-west. Middle America, I think, is home to the true American sense of values. In addition, there are many good universities there.
Also, you need to think about your likes and dislikes and then research the various states. You like sunshine and hate snow? Then you probably won’t like the Midwest or even the Northeast. Open space, nature and peace and quiet? Then you should stay away from America’s larger cities. Are you interested in government? Then Washington D.C. is the only place for you. Whatever you decided put some thought into it. The place you live could be the difference between a great study abroad experience and a state of great suffering on earth.
8. From the first paragraph we can conclude that in the U.S.A. __________.
A. all colleges and universities lie in big cities
B. all colleges and universities lie in beautiful places
C. famous colleges and universities lie in nice places
D. famous colleges and universities may not lie in nice places
9. What should be considered first if you want to study in the U.S.A.?
A. The climate. B. The scenery. C. The study condition. D. The living condition.
10. If you study in Middle America, you can probably _______.
A. find the best universities
B. feel the real character of the nation
C. meet the most famous professors there
D. face more difficulty
11. From the last paragraph of this passage we can get to know that ________.
A. Washington is the largest city in the U.S.A.
B. Washington is the political center of the U.S.A.
C. you can’t find sunshine in the Midwest
D. you can’t find any universities out of big cities in the U.S.A.
D
WASHINGTON—Laura Straub is a very worried woman. Her job is to find families for French teenagers who expect to live with American families in the summer.
It is not easy, even hopeless.
“We have many children left to place—40 out of 75,” said Straub, who works for a Paris-based foreigner-exchange program started 50 years ago. Family life was more than accommodating (提供膳宿). For one thing, more mothers stayed at home. But now, increasing numbers of women work outside the home. Exchange-student programs have struggled in recent years to sign up host (主人) families for the 30 000 teenagers who every year come from abroad to spend a school year in the United States, as well as the thousands more who take part in summer programs.
School systems in many parts of the U.S., unhappy about accepting non-taxpaying students, have also strictly limited the number of exchange students they accepted. At the same time, the idea of hosting foreign students is becoming less exotic.
In search for host families, who usually receive no pay, exchange programs are increasingly broadening their requests to include everyone from young couples to retirees.
“We are open to many different types of families,” said Vickie Weiner, eastern area director for ASSE, a 25-year-old program that sends about 30 000 teenagers on school-year exchange programs worldwide.
For elderly people, exchange students “keep us young—they really do”, said Jen Foster, who is hosting 16-year-old Nina Post from Denmark.
12. The underlined word “exotic” means _________.
A. difficult B. wonderful C. exciting D. accommodating
13.According to the text, why was it easier for Laura Straub to find American families for foreign students?
A. More mothers wasn’t working outside and was able to afford to look after children .
B. American school systems were better than now.
C. Foreign students paid hosting families a lot of money.
D. The government was happy because it could gain tax.
14. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. All the families can host foreign students.
B. Only young couples can host foreign students.
C. Only those who were retired can host foreign students.
D. Exchange programs are open to many different types of families including everyone fromwith local people and introduce foreign students to them, if there is a shortage of host families.
解 析
A
1.C 本题考查理解文章主旨要义的能力。本文主要谈论了武汉高中毕业生前往德国参加职业培训的计划。其他选项是文章的细节，不能概括原文。
2.B 本题考查理解文章细节信息的能力。由第二段和最后一段可知，家长送子女到国外学习是明智的。其他选项缺乏原文的信息支持。
3.A 本题考查根据短文内容进行简单的能力。由最后一段家长的谈话“The change for my child to go to college is small. What’s more, it’s not easy to find a job. We find the work-study program an equally good way out for him,”可以判断这些孩子在国内上大学较难。B、D与原文信息不符；C项原文未涉及。
B
4.C 本题考查根据短文相关内容对词语含义进行简单推断的能力。联系后一句“英语学习有助于将来的事业，使将来的生活更加富裕”可以推断life-long benefit 意思是“终身受益的”。其他选项缺乏原文的信息支持。
5. A 本题考查理解文章细节信息的能力。由第二、三段可知，伦敦的确是学习英语的好地方。其他三项与题干不构成因果关系。
6.A 本题考查归纳文章主旨要义的能力。全文论述了伦敦不仅是商业中心，而且是学习英语的好地方。B，C脱离了文章的中心话题；D与原文信息不符。
7.D 本题考查根据短文内容判断文章题材的能力。作者从头到尾在向大家推荐一个学习英语的好地方——伦敦，由此可推断这是一篇广告。其他三项与文章的题材相悖。
C
8. D本题考查对某一段落细节信息认定的能力。由第一段第二句“…the best places to live are not always home to the best schools”可知名校不一定座落在最好的地方。其他选项与文章信息不符。
9.C 本题考查根据短文内容对细节进行判断的能力。从文章中可以看出决定出国学习的因素很多：学校所处的地理位置，学校所侧重的科目及学校的学习环境等，所有的因素比较起来，学习环境应该是最重要的。
10.B本题考查理解文章细节信息的能力。由第三段倒数第二句“Middle America, I think, is home to the true American sense of values.”可知美国人的价值观在美国中部地区有很强的代表性。其他三项缺乏原文的信息支持。
11.B本题考查对某一段落细节信息认定的能力。由最后一段“Are you interested in government? Then Washington D.C. is the only place for you.” 可知Washington是政府所在地, 又根据常识可知,政府所在地一般为一个国家的政治中心， 所以Washington 就是美国的政治中心。A项原文中未涉及；C，D项与原文信息不符。
D
12.C本题考查根据短文相关内容对词语含义进行简单推断的能力。文章第三段第四句“But now, increasing numbers of women work outside the home. Exchange-student programs have struggled in recent years to sign up host (主人) families …” 以及第四段第一句“School systems in many parts of the U.S., unhappy about accepting non-taxpaying students, have also strictly limited the number of exchange students they accepted”. 可知Laura Straub很难在美国找到寄宿家庭接受来自法国的学生, 这说明目前接纳外国学生的想法不如原先令人兴奋,有吸引力了。故最佳答案为C。
13. A本题考查对文中细节事实进行判断的能力。由第二段“For one thing, more mothers stayed at home. But now, increasing numbers of women work outside the home.”可知最佳答案为A。B项原文未谈到学校制度的好坏；再由第三段“School systems in many parts of the U.S.,unhappy about accepting non-taxpaying students…”和第四段“In search for host families, who usually receive no pay,…”可以判断C，D表述有误。
14.D本题考查对文中细节进行认定的能力。由文章倒数第三段 “…exchange programs are increasingly broadening their requests to include everyone from young couples to retirees.”可知最佳答案为D。A项表述太绝对； B、C项表述不全面。
15.A本题考查理解文章主旨要义的能力。本文是一篇新闻报道。新闻报道常常开头就点明要报道的内容，故由文章开头“WASHINGTON—Laura Straub is a very worried woman. Her job is to find families for French teenagers who expect to live with American families in the summer. It is not easy, even hopeless. ” 可知本文的主旨：Laura Straub在美国找到寄宿家庭接受来自法国的学生是很困难的。故A 项符合题意。
