10、后一句)分析：本句是复合句。if 引导条件状语从句；主句包含 it is.that.的强调句型，对主句主语进行强调。译文：如果真是这样的话，美国经济将会因高素质、努力、优秀的移民的流失而受到打击。词汇积累：aspiring adj.有抱负的 fulfill v实现 immigration n移民1C 细节理解题。Still I felt frustrated and useless afterwards because I was not able to provide him with any good news.(第一段第三句)译文：但(聊天)之后我依然感到些许失落，感觉自己没用，因为我没
11、能向他提供任何好消息。解题思路：根据关键句可知，作者是因为不能给这个中国留学生提供有用的建议而感到沮丧。故选 C项。2B 推理判断题。Last year, there were 233 000 applicants，and only 30 percent of them were lucky，less than half of the rate in 2013.(第二段最后一句)译文：去年共有 23.3万份签证申请，但其中只有 30%申请成功，这一占比不及 2013年的一半。解题思路：根据关键句可知，尽管留学生在美就业很困难，但依然有成功留在美国就业的人，因此留学生留在美国就业还是有机会的。故
12、 B项说法是错误的。故选 B项。3A 词义猜测题。根据最后一段第一、二句可知，在美国的工作经验可以让留学生3最终回到家乡工作的时候拥有比别人更大的优势。故 leverage应该指的是“优势” 。故选A项。4D 观点态度题。根据最后一段最后两句可知，作者对特朗普的这种不断收紧的移民政策持担忧态度。故选 D项。*语法填空Once upon a time, there was a king in a big, rich country.

16、词 of后边要跟动词ing 形式作宾语。2countries 考查名词复数。other countries “其他国家” 。3distant 考查词性转换。此处形容词 distant “遥远的”修饰名词 country。4to have 考查非谓语动词。此处动词不定式表目的。5were fed 考查动词的时态和语态。 “马”应是“被喂豆子” ，因此用被动语态，且本句描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。6was eating 考查动词的时态。由句意可知，此处表示“它正吃的时候” 。7but 考查连词。由句意可知此处应表转折。8himself 考查代词。say to oneself “自言自语”
17、。9who/that 考查定语从句的引导词。先行词是 monkey，用关系代词 who/that引导定语从句，并在从句中作主语。410back 考查副词。由上一句中的“go back”知此处用 back。march back “行军返回到” 。*完形填空。阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D四个选项中，选出可能填入空白处的最佳选项。After living near Madrid for a year as an au pair (以帮做家务事等换取食宿的人) three years ago, it was nice to _1_ this weekend.

26、sarily)”就是家能找到家的感觉，那真是幸运。4C 根据上文的 nice，felt like，feel like 可知，作者认识到家就是“心灵(heart)”的归属地。5A 根据上文的 A lot of people get homesick及常识可知，思乡是一种“正常的(normal)”情感。6C 根据上文的 homesick可知，一个人远离自己“所爱的(loved)”人和家中的舒适，当然会泛起乡愁。7A 下文提到的在异乡也能找到家的感觉与上文意义上发生了转折，故选However。8D9A 根据上文的 you can feel at home可知，此处意思是，如果在一个地方能与“关爱(c
27、are for)”自己的人在一起、觉得比较“舒服(comfortable)” ，那自然能找到家的感觉。10B11B 根据这两个空所在句中的 embracing every moment, enjoying和 you can feel settled in a short amount of time可知，如果能珍惜每个瞬间、 “交(making)”些朋友、享受新的“文化(culture)” ，那很快就能融入当地的生活。12C 根据下文的 host family可知， “我”与寄宿家庭“生活(living)”在一起。13D 根据下文的 helped to ease the process of
28、feeling happy and settled可知，寄宿家庭的成员都很“友好(friendly)” 。14B 根据上文的 see how the children grow up可知，能“亲历(experience)”这一过程，作者感到很幸福。15C 上文的 host family是提示。16D17A 因为是第二次来西班牙，所以作者这次“安定(settling in)”下来要比上次更容易些，因为他已经“熟悉(accustomed to)”了当地的文化。18C 根据本空所在句中的 moving away from home和 different in comparison to what y
29、ou call home可知，背井离乡自然需要“适应(adapt to)”异地不同于家乡的7很多方面。19C20B 根据 However可知，前后表示转折。作者认为虽然需要适应很多新事物，但是这恰巧就是旅游、探索、 “发现(discovering)”自我的“乐趣(delight)”所在。*短文改错。Living without an aim is like sailing without compass.
