Singer, born in Philadelphia, has lived in France for more than 40 years. ‎ ‎“Although things have changed greatly in the past 20 years when it comes to food in the country，” he says, “and what was a big affair with eating has been slowly softened up, there are still events in the year, like birthdays and New Year's Eve and Christmas Eve that are still really anchored in traditional food and cooking.‎ 7‎ ‎ But it's not every day. ”‎ ‎“Some people think French food life may be a performance，” adds Jennifer Berg, director of graduate food studies at New York University. “They want to believe that France is this nation where people are spending five hours a day going to 12 different markets to get their food. The reality is most croissants(羊角面包) are factorymade, and most people are buying convenience food, except for the very small group of people in high society. But part of our identity relies on believing that myth. ”‎ In Italy, as in France, takeout is still relatively rare. “Eating fast is not at all part of our culture，” says Marco Bolasco, editorial director of Slow Food and an Italian food expert. “Our meals are relaxed, even during a lunch break. Food in Italy is love, and nutrition, and pleasure，” he says. An Italian child's first experience with food is not small round cakes or rice or eggs, but probably ice cream, notes Bolasco. Status and wealth play less of a role in food. ‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文为说明文。作者通过专家的话语来说明法国人和意大利人对于食物显示出一种享受生活的态度。‎ ‎1．How have things about French food changed?‎ A．People prefer to cook at home. ‎ B．More people choose to eat out. ‎ C．Traditional food is less frequently cooked. ‎ D．People eat faster than before. ‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知，法国传统美食受到冲击，人们只是偶尔在重大节日中才去享用传统美食，并不是每一天，故选C。‎ ‎2．What does the underlined word “performance” in Paragraph 3 refer to?‎ A．Bother. B．Play. ‎ C．Hobby. D．Routine. ‎ 解析：选A　词义猜测题。由后文中的“people are spending five hours a day going to 12 different markets to get their food”可知，此处应是指部分人认为法国传统烹饪比较繁琐。故此处performance指“麻烦”。故选A。‎ ‎3．Why is Italian food compared with French food in the last paragraph?‎ A．To show the advantages of Italian food. ‎ B．To prove the differences between them. ‎ C．To reflect the customs of Italian food. ‎ D．To indicate the common points of the two. ‎ 7‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。由本段中的“In Italy，as in France”，再结合第一段中的“‘Food in France is still primarily about pleasure’”和最后一段中的“‘Food in Italy is love, and nutrition, and pleasure’”可知，作者比较这两种食物的目的是找出二者的共同点，阐明主旨，故选D。‎ ‎4．What's the main idea of the passage?‎ A．Food as identity. ‎ B．Food as pleasure. ‎ C．Food as survival. ‎ D．Food as status. ‎ 解析：选B　主旨大意题。由文中的“‘Food in France is still primarily about pleasure’”，“‘Cooking and eating are both pastimes (消遣) and pleasure. ’”以及“‘Food in Italy is love, and nutrition, and pleasure’”可知答案选B。‎ B Studying abroad will shape you in various ways. You will learn things you never would have if you had stayed home. When you are young and unattached, you should travel. Besides, you just might save a large sum of money. College is expensive in the United States. It's cheap or free in other countries even for foreigners, so why not get out of here and come back smarter?‎ More and more American students are currently studying at German colleges. That number has increased by 20% over the last three years. Living costs are about $7,000 a year, which is even lower than in other European countries. Germany encourages international students. They create a multicultural landscape that benefits German students as well. According to a new report, Germany is home to six of the world's 100 best universities. These schools offer around 900 degrees completely in English and many German students speak the language. ‎ You could be part of Finland's excellent education system. The Finns charge no tuition and offer a number of courses purely in English. They would be happy for you to add flavor to their school scene. Cost of living there is high. Be prepared for frosty winters that far north, but you will get that sweet midnight sun in the summer. ‎ Many other European nations offer cheap or free college for foreign students, but if South America is more your thing, try Brazil. Most of the education will take place in Portuguese, so if that is in your plan you can study near beautiful beaches and jungles. The University of Sao Paulo and State University of Campinas are both ‎ 7‎ highly ranked internationally. Your money will go a long way there, too. ‎ Many of the lessons you will learn will be outside the classroom. Living on the economy in a foreign country will keep you on your toes. You will learn new customs, how to bargain, stay safe, budget and become more flexible with people. There is no better way to learn a language than by immersing yourself in it. At first, it will be the toughest thing you have ever done. Eventually, it will become second nature. ‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文指出了出国学习英语是学习英语的有效方法，并介绍了世界各国对于国际生的态度以及相关的教育信息。‎ ‎5．German universities are popular among US students mainly because ________. ‎ A．they offer a multicultural landscape B．they belong to the world's best ones C．the cost of living there is reasonable D．the students can get their degrees easily 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Germany encourages international students.

At first, it will be the toughest thing you have ever done. ”可知，作者认为没有比沉浸在该语言环境中更好的学习语言的方式了，虽然开始的时候，我们可能会有困难，但是最后一切都会很好的。这说明作者对于这种学习方法持鼓励态度，故选B。‎ Ⅲ. 语法填空 People all over the world celebrate the New Year. 1. ________， not all countries celebrate in the same way. ‎ In many countries, the New Year 2. ________ (begin) on 1st January, but people start celebrating on 31st December, New Year's Eve.
