但到达法国的当天,他原定的接待家庭中因有人去世要出国,所以他不得不搬到另一个家庭与人合住。在那里他遇到了来自巴西的同龄人,两人很快成为了好朋友,一起度过了一个学期的美好时光。这段经历也给作者留下了难忘的回忆。
(1)考查动词。句意:在我的申请信中,我小心的表达了我非常想去法国的愿望。A. discuss“讨论”;B. express“表达”;C. announce“宣布”;D. argue“争论”。从后面宾语内容可判断是作者想要\"传达对于法国有多么的向往\",是一种情感,故选B。

(4)考查形容词。A. boring“无聊的”;B. upsetting“令人心烦的”;C. exciting“激动的”;D. promising“有希望的”。根据语境可知,虽然旅行很鼓舞人心且看见他人也令人兴奋,但是我在法国的半学期和我预想的完全不一样.\"and\"前后并列内容为\"traveling…inspiring\",可推断\"meeting people…exciting\",同样可对应前文已经出现的\"exciting,fun\"等字眼,故选C。
(5)考查动词。句意:但是我在法国的半学期和我预想的完全不一样。A. expected“预期”;B. liked“喜欢”;C. doubted“怀疑”;D. feared“害怕”。此处通过\"while\"我们可得知,作者对于\"term in France\"并没有期待,故选A。
(6)考查动词。句意:我刚到法国就受到了一个很亲和的法国夫妇的欢迎。A. sponsored“赞助”;B. witnessed“目击”;C. greeted“欢迎”;D. supported“支持”。故选C。 (7)考查连词。句意:我的体验很有趣很让人兴奋,直到我从法国夫妇那里听到了骇人的消息。A. until“直到”;B. when“当......时候”;C. since“自从,因为”;D. while“当……时候”。因为前一句话中出现\"joyous,exciting\",而后句出现的是\"shocking news\"可知,激动心情的终结,转而变成不好的事情。故选A。
(8)考查动词。句意:那天我不得不搬出原寄宿家庭的家,进入新的寄宿家庭。A. move“搬家”;B. travel“旅行”;C. walk“散步”;D. rush“冲”。move out固定短语,“搬出\",故选A。

(11)考查动词。A. combined“结合”;B. fitted“适应,合适”;C. involved“涉及”;D. adapted“使适应”。根据语境可知,为了避免说本族语(此处是英语)的诱惑,我要求不要和一个说英语的室友安置在一起。be adapted with sb.固定短语,\"和某人安置在一起\",故选D。
(12)考查动词。A. added“添加”;B. introduced“介绍”;C. devoted“献身于”;D. adapted“使适应”。因为是\"new roommate\",自然需要互相介绍,\"introduce\"\",故选B。 (13)考查名词。A. Japanese“日本人”;B. Brazilian“巴西人”;C. Frenchman“法国人”;D. German“德国人”。根据下文“my Brazilian friend Paolo”可知我的室友是巴西人,故选B。 (14)考查名词。A. term“学期”;B. week“ 周”;C. month“月”;D. vacation“假期”。根据第一段末最后一句中的\"term\",几个小时后我就知道我们在这学期剩下的日子里会成为好朋友。故选A。
(15)考查名词。A. presents“礼物”;B. suitcases“行李箱”;C. stories“故事”;D. dreams“梦想”。根据下文\"weekdays in class,weeknights on the town,weekends…France\"可知,作者在法国与室友发生了很多的故事,故选C。
(16)考查形容词。A. surprised“惊讶的”;B. disturbed“扰乱的”;C. embarrassed“尴尬的”;D. concerned“关心的”。根据上文人们问作者这次旅行中最喜欢的部分,作者却说的是他的室友,并不是首段中作者的设想,此结果不仅让他人\"surprised\",就连作者本人都没有想到。故选A。
(17)考查动词。A. analyzing“分析”;B. exploring“探索”;C. describing“描述”;D. investigating“调查”。根据后接宾语France可知是一地方,只能选择explore\"探索\",享受着我们一起探索法国的周末。故选B。
(18)考查形容词。A. generous“大方的”;B. independent“独立的”;C. similar“相似的”;D. distant“遥远的”。上文出现\"different\",\"but\"后显而易见表示出现相反结果,即反义词\"similar。再根据语境可知,人们看起来似乎如此不同,但最终又如此相似。故选C。 (19)考查连词。句意:我在法国学到的东西是我们不仅要尊敬外国人,而且要尊敬所有的人。A. and“并且”;B. but“但是”;C. or“或者”;D. so“因此”。not just/only…but (also)…固定短语,\"不仅......,而且.......\",故选B。
(20)考查名词。句意:我会向任何想要体验外国文化并收获友谊的人推荐这样一个项目。A. instructions“指令”;B. friendships“友谊”;C. facts “ 事实”;D. data“数据”。此处点明文章主旨,在前文中出现有关\"roommate\"的描述,又在前句中出现\"friends\",可推断本文作者做大的收益便是\"friendships\",故选B。

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者每当听到古巴歌手Gloria Estefan演唱的《到达》,都被歌词深深打动,作者几乎无法想象她是如何在背部严重受伤后重返舞台的,并且唱出了这么励志的歌曲。作者由此想到了自己上大学的时候,因天生害羞,相貌平平,学习成绩很差,一度陷入绝望,但作者不愿意屈服于这样的命运,通过不断的学习和参加各种活动提高自己,最终使作者获得自信和勇气来面对生活中的任何困难。作者告诫读者,一旦你有了梦想,不要犹豫,要去实现它。
