20、and enjoying a new _11_， you can feel settled in a short amount of time. I did exactly this when moving to Spain for the first time, as positive thoughts tend to bring positive experiences. Luckily enough, I was _12_ with a host family that were very _13_， which helped to ease the process of feeling
21、 happy and settled. I now love visiting when I can to see how the children grow up and feel very blessed by being able to _14_ this.Yet again, I am living in Spain on my year abroad, but this time with students and not a(n) _15_， in a different region.

26、time with students 可知，作者重“访(visit)”西班牙。2B 根据上文的 I felt like I was at home 和下文的 feel like this 可知，在异国他乡能找到家的感觉确实“幸运(lucky)”。3D 如果在某个地方 “不一定(not necessarily)”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
27、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。8D69A 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(care 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
28、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 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 f
29、amily 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 you call home 可知，背井离乡自然需要“适应(adapt to)” 异地不同于家乡的很多方面。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(
30、delight)”所在。四、单句改错1The warning sign was put there with the benefit of the public._答案：withfor for the benefit of . “为了的利益”。2Since the dancers have to pay the high cost of clothing out of their own pockets, they are often heavily in the debt._答案：去掉 debt 前的 the in debt “负债” 。3The old man earns his live
31、 by begging door to door._答案：liveliving earn ones living “谋生”。4The man ought to be fired. You shouldnt let him get away from stealing from the shop._答案：fromwith get away with “做了坏事不受惩罚”。75He should have handed in his paper yesterday, and he forgot about it completely._答案：andbut 前后分句之间为转折关系。五、短文改错(20

38、thought we were rich but today I have learnt who is rich.”truetruly8With this，the boy got up and walked away ，leaving his father on their comfortable satsittingsofa，totally speechless. 解析：考查句意理解以及从属连词。本句的意思是：有一天，一位富人带着他的儿子去乡村旅行以便让他的儿子看看穷人是如何生活的；此处用来引导宾语从句，意为：如何；故用 how。 解析：考查固定短语。be thankful to 后面跟人，
39、表示感谢某人；be thankful for 后面跟事物，表示对某事物表示感谢；由于此处之后接的是 wealth(财富)；故用 for。 解析：考查连接代词。此处用来引导宾语从句，由于该从句中缺少主语，故用连接代词 what。 解析：考查 return 的含义。由于 return“返回”相当于“go back/get back/come back”，即它本身就含有 back 的意思，其后不能再跟 back；故去掉 return 之后的 back。 解析：考查谓语动词。此处在句中作谓语，根据上文可知，此处讲述的是发生在过去某一天的事情，应使用一般过去时；故用 replied。 解析：考查不定冠词。此处用来修饰单数名词 farmer，表示泛指一位农民，故在farmer 前加 a。 解析：考查名词的单复数。此处指的是：许多美丽的夜星；由于 star 为可数名词；故用 stars。 解析：考查人称代词。此处用来修饰名词 family，指代的是男孩的家；故用 his。 解析：考查副词。此处用来修饰形容词 rich，故用 truly。解析：考查固定搭配。leave sb doing 指让某人保持某动作或状态，留下某人；10 此处指的是：男孩站起来走开了，留下了他的父亲坐在他们舒适的沙发上，完全说不出话来；故用 sitting。
