Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
Each year about 250,000 Americans study in other countries. Some studyabroad programs are trying harder to get students to learn about the local culture. One student, on his first morning in Beijing, was brought to a distant part of the city. He received money and instructions on how to get back. It took some time but he succeeded.
William Finlay heads the Sociology Department at the University of Georgia in the United States. He says challenges like this help students experience another culture.
In 2008, Professor Finlay started a program with South Africa's Stellenbosch University. The program combines traditional classroom learning with community involvement through a nongovernmental organization. He says, “We've been working
.
.
with a particular nongovernmental organization in the town and we do two things: We run a number of creches (托儿所), which are basically day care centers for children whose parents are working, and the library in the community where there are some computers. Our students typically work either with the little kids in the day care centers or they work in the library and teach very basic computer skills to mostly young adults.”
Hillary Kinsey is studying international affairs. She spent three weeks in the Stellenbosch program. She says it was interesting to learn the history of the area and the recent development. When Ms Kinsey returned from South Africa recently, she and other students in the program created a nonprofit organization called Ubunto, whose goal is to help improve education and development in South Africa.
Mark Lenhart is the executive director of CET Academic Programs. Each year, that company places more than 1,000 students in semester and summer study programs. The programs are in China, Jordan, the Czech Republic and other countries. He says, “In all of our locations, we place students with local roommates.” Students gain from that, he says, but the experience is not always easy. He says, “Not just in terms of language learning, but they also find the local culture can present challenges, and perhaps misunderstandings. They have to adjust to local life. It's no longer OK just to have a little Chinese, for instance. If a student is studying Chinese, they want to come home from a program like this fluent in Chinese. And this will enable students to become more employable when they graduate.”

B
If anything can be said about recordbreaking globetrotter (环球旅行家) Graham Hughes, it's that — throughout his travels — he's always kept his feet firmly on the ground.
The 33yearold adventurer, from Liverpool, has become the first person to visit all 201 countries in the world — without using a plane.
Hughes used buses, taxis, trains and his own two feet to
travel 160,000 miles in exactly 1,426 days — all on a shoestring (资金微薄) of just $100 a week.
He spent four days “crossing open ocean in a leaky (漏的) boat” to reach Cape Verde on the North Atlantic, was jailed for a week in the Congo for being mistaken as a “spy”, and was arrested trying to “sneak (溜;偷偷地做) into” Russia.
.
.
And yesterday Graham Hughes trudged (长途跋涉) into Juba, the capital of South Sudan, to end the epic fouryear journey that began in his hometown of Liverpool on New Year's Day 2009.
“I love travel, and I guess my reason for doing it was that I wanted to see if this could be done, by one person traveling on a shoestring,” he told the Christian
Science Monitor.“I think I also wanted to show that the world is not some big, scary
place, but in fact it is full of people who want to help you even if you are a stranger.”
Guinness has now confirmed that Hughes, who filmed the expedition for a documentary and raised money for charity Water Aid, has achieved the world record.
“The main feeling today is just one of intense gratitudes to every person around the world who helped me get here, by giving me a lift, letting me stay on their couch, or pointing me in the right direction,” Hughes added.
语篇解读:文章介绍了全球第一人,破纪录的环球旅行家——格雷厄姆·休斯。在他旅行的过程中,他从来都是坚定地双脚站在土地上。这位33岁的冒险家来自利物浦,成为了第一位不乘坐飞机游遍全世界201个国家和地区的人。 5.Which of the following is NOT described Graham Hughes? A.Globetrotter. B.Adventurer.

C.He wanted to use the least money to complete the farthest journey. D.He likes travel very much.

B.He was put into prison because of being considered a spy in the Congo. C.He was caught in Russia because he stole something.
D.It was in South Sudan that he ended his epic fouryear journey.
解析:选C 细节理解题。从第四段看出A、B两项正确,从第五段“the capital of South Sudan, to end the epic fouryear journey”看出D项正确。故选C。
8.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.When he travelled all over the world, he got a lot of help from different people. B.He often sleeps on the coach.
C.He often points the direction for others.
D.He is grateful to the people who have helped him.
