When I stepped out of Heathrow Airport, ...

    When I stepped out of Heathrow Airport, the British accents were music to my ears! The roads were so empty and traffic was so organized, with open spaces everywhere and so few people on the streets—what a difference from where 1 came—Mumbai. The difference was even more obvious after I had spent 21 years of my life living in that place. The streets were unfamiliar, and the faces were all foreign.

I boarded my bus for my university town. I felt like I had been in a fairytale book—the small houses, the quiet streets and the well-dressed people among other things. A small and beautiful three-storeyed building is quite a rarity back home and here, I have yet to see a building taller than that! Back home in India, the kind of rent I pay here could have afforded me a luxurious(豪华的) 2 bedroom-hall-kitchen apartment in a good location. But my accommodation here is the size of my bathroom back home! It’s just a fact... reality can be rude at times!

I really cherish the first day of my new university. I’ve met so many students from countries that I didn’t even know. But living alone in a new place, away from the protection of my family and friends, is a different experience altogether—a wonderful experience of further education!

It's been almost two months now. The novelty(新奇)is gradually disappearing, and the dust is settling down. It’s all just daily now but I feel fully settled. I really like this place. It feels like home!

1.What does the underlined part “that place” in paragraph 1 refer to?

A.Heathrow Airport. B.Britain.

C.Mumbai. D.A university of India.

2.What is the author’s first impression of Britain?

A.Dirty and noisy. B.Different but poor.

C.Hopeful and inspiring. D.Strange but beautiful.

3.What does the author probably do

A.An international student. B.A tourist from India.

C.A British college teacher. D.An unknown writer.

4.What can we know from the last paragraph?

A.The author is less interested in everything because of dust.

B.The author still feels curious about everything around.

C.The author has been used to the new environment.

D.The author feels like going home after nearly two months.

 

1.C 2.D 3.A 4.C 【解析】 这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者作为一名来自印度的留学生到英国后的所见所闻所感,以及从最初感到新鲜到陌生到最后适应的过程。 1. 词义猜测题。根据第一段中what a difference from where 1 came—Mumbai. The difference was even more obvious after I had spent 21 years of my life living in that place. 这与我来到的地方——孟买有多大的不同。在我在那个地方生活了21年后,这种差别更加明显。由此可知,that place指的是孟买。故选C。 2. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中The streets were unfamiliar, and the faces were all foreign. 街道是陌生的,面孔都是陌生的。以及第二段中I felt like I had been in a fairytale book—the small houses, the quiet streets and the well-dressed people among other things. A small and beautiful three-storied building is quite a rarity back home and here, I have yet to see a building taller than that! 我觉得自己仿佛置身于童话故事中——小房子、安静的街道、穿着考究的人们以及其他事物。漂亮的三层小楼在我们家乡是很少见的,我还没见过比这更高的楼呢!由此可知,作者对应该的第一印象是虽陌生但感觉很漂亮。故选D。 3. 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中I really cherish the first day of my new university. 我真的很珍惜新大学的第一天。由此判断出,作者是一名留学生。故选A。 4. 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中It's been almost two months now. The novelty(新奇)is gradually disappearing, and the dust is settling down. It’s all just daily now but I feel fully settled. I really like this place. It feels like home! 现在已经快两个月了。新奇感正在逐渐消失,尘埃落定。现在每天都是这样,但我已经完全安定下来了。我真的很喜欢这个地方。有家的感觉!由此可知,作者已经逐渐适应了新环境。故选C。

    Reducing class size has traditionally been seen as an important way to improve a student’s  educational experience. Many often believe that smaller classes would permit teachers to give more personal attention to their students. 1..

But one recent study suggests there's not much research-based evidence to support this idea. The research was collected by a team from Denmark's Danish Center for Social Science Research.

The study notes that one of the main problems with reducing class size is that it can have very high costs. 2.. Financial limitations make it very difficult for many schools to reduce the number of students in the classroom.

The new study began by examining 127 studies on classroom size. Its goal was to examine the major research studies already completed on the subject. 3.. In the end, the research centered on 10 main studies with possible sampling (采样)problems.

The researchers concluded that there's some evidence to suggest that reducing class size may lead to some improvement in a student 's reading achievement. 4.. They found just a 53-percent chance that a randomly selected test score from a student from a small class would be higher than the selected score of a student from a larger class. 5.. This led the researchers to conclude that there would be no benefit at all to math students in a smaller class size.

A.But they said the effect is very small

B.For mathematics achievement, the result was 49 percent

C.This can theoretically lead to improved academic results for students

D.Many public opinion studies have shown teachers favor smaller class sizes

E.The effects of larger class size can stay long after the students complete their education

F.Increasing class size is one of the most common ways school systems control education spending

G.They especially centered on those trying to measure if smaller class size led to greater academic success
