ALast spring, I was fortunate to be chosen to join in an exchange study program. The moment I arrived in Paris, I was greeted by a nice French couple who would become my host parents. The bit of French I had taken in high school began coming out of my mouth; speaking the language would only become more natural over the course of the term. At the airport, we all got into the couple’s car and began the journey to their townhouse. We talked the whole way, getting to know one another.Every day afterwards, I would eat breakfast with the two of them, and then we’d all go our separate ways for the day. In the evening, my host mother would make delicious dinners for the three of us. My experience was exciting until I received some shocking news from my program coordinator（协调人）: There had been a death in my host parents' family and they would have to go away for several weeks to deal with all the business that arises from the death. That afternoon, I had to move out of one family's house and into another.The coordinator told me I'd have a roommate and asked whether I would mind sharing a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid speaking my native language, I asked not to be placed with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I introduced myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian（巴西人）, the same age as I, whom I was surprised to find playing one of my favorite CDs on his computer! In just a few hours, we knew we'd be good friends for the rest of the term.I left France with many stories, so when people ask me what my favorite part of the trip was, they always hear about my Brazilian friend Paolo and the weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends exploringFrance we enjoyed together. I would recommend an exchange program to anyone who wants to experience foreign cultures and gain meaningful friendships.21. What do we learn about the author?A.

They also needed to be kept away from flames.A fire can weaken the rubber and cause it to break. However, in this experiment you will find out how you can hold a balloon directly in a flame without breaking the balloon.Materials needed:●two round balloons not inflated(充气的)●several matches●waterInflate one of the balloons and tie it. Place 1/4 cup of water in the other balloon, and then inflate itand tie it. Light a match and hold it under the first balloon. Allow the flame to touch the balloon. What happens? The balloon breaks, perhaps even before the flame touches it. Light another match. Hold it directly under the waterin the second balloon. Allow the flame to touch the balloon. What happens to this balloon? It doesn’t break.Why does the balloon with no water break in the flame? The flame heats the rubber of both balloons. The rubber of the balloon without water becomes so hot that it becomes too weak to resist the pressure of the air inside the balloon. However, when the balloon with water in it is placed in the flame, the water takes in most of the heat from the flame. Then, the rubber of the balloon doesn’t become very hot, it doesn’t weaken, and the balloon doesn’t break.Water is a particularly good absorber(吸收者) of heat. It takes a lot of heat to change the temperature of water. On the other hand, when water cools, it gives off a great deal of heat. That’s why areas near oceans or other large bodies of water don’t get as cold in winter as areas at the same latitude(纬度) further inland.28. From the passage we can know the following aspects of the experiment except______.A. methodB. materialC. resultD. time29. What does the underlined word “resist” in Para 4 probably mean?A. addB. expandC. bearD. form30. When the flame reaches the balloon with water inside, ______A. the rubber of it doesn’t become hot at allB. the water in it begins to boilC. the balloon breaksD. the heat is mostly taken in by the water31. The purpose of the experiment described in the passage is to prove that______.A. water is a particularly good absorber of heatB. some balloons can be easily broken, while others can’t.C. balloons without water are not as strong as those with water inside.D. the temperature is not up to the latitude.DIf you have ever been left wondering why your emails are riddled(充斥着) with grammatical errors, or why you can never quite find the right phrase, it may be because you are typing with both hands.Our vocabulary becomes richer and our writing style becomes more fluent when we type using just one hand, scientists have found. "Typing can be too fluent or too fast, and it can actually weaken the writing process," said Srdan Medimorec, the lead author of the study conducted at the department of psychology at the University ofWaterloo, Canada. "It seems that what we write is a product of the interaction(互动) between our thoughts and the tools we use to express them."Using text-analysis software, researchers asked 103 university students to write essays under different conditions, using one hand to type and using both hands to type. The software was used to analyze(分析) elements of the essays, such as range of vocabulary, sentence complexity and the cohesion(衔接) of the writing.Researchers found that participants' vocabulary became more advanced when they typed with one hand rather than two. The research team said that by slowing our writing down, typing one-handed allows more time for an internal (内在的) word search, resulting in a larger variety of words.In contrast, fast typists might just write the first word that comes to mind. However, it is important not to slow typing down too much. Those who typed essays one-handed in the current study slowed down to about the speed of handwriting.This is the first study to show that changing people’s typing can ma ke their writing get better. The researchers suggested that the speed of writing could affect writing quality regardless of the tools used, whether they are computers, or pen and paper, although further research would be required to prove that idea.32. Th e underlined “it” in the second paragraph refers to______.A. the writing styleB. typing too fast or fluentlyC. the vocabularyD. which hand to use for typing33. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The study was carried out in 103 universities.B. The researchers drew the conclusion by interviewing students about their feelings inthe writing process.C. The typing speed should be as slow as possible.D. There is no previous study related to the topic before.34. What is the author’s attitude to the research according to the passage?A. objectiveB. doubtfulC. criticalD. supportive35. Which is the best title of the passage?A. How to become a good writer?B. Typing with both hands could make you a worse writer.C. Slower typing, fewer mistakes.D.
