15．As an international student，you are probably not as comfortable listening and speaking as reading and writing in English．Here are some tips to help you strengthen your skills in conversation．
Make friends with American students．Many international students make friends only with each other，which I don't think is a good idea．（36）GBesides，it helps you pick up cultural and social cues（信號(hào)）．
（37）ATell your American friends that you are trying to improve your listening and speaking skills，and would like them to help you．If you pronounce a word incorrectly，or misuse an idiom，you want them to tell you．You will learn much faster this way．
Expand your knowledge．（38）FIf you have been exposed to topics that are likely to be discussed in conversation，you have a much better chance of understanding people when they talk，and of being able to express yourself well．This helps you overcome both a culture gap and language barriers-and gives you a great excuse to watch TV．
Become a tutor at your school．（39）D，you try to find alternative ways to make yourself understood．I owe most of my fluent English to my years of being a math tutor in college．Tutors are also usually relatively well paid，so this is a good way to make some extra cash while improving your conversational English skills（40）．C
A．Learn from native speakers．
B．Once you have trouble in the U．S
C．It's a win-win for international students．
D．If you have to explain something to someone in English
E．Learn which U．S．colleges welcome the most international students．
F．Read books，keep up with news and watch popular shows and movies．
G．Hanging out with natives naturally pushes you to improve your oral English．

分析 本文介紹了作為一名國(guó)際生更好的適應(yīng)美國(guó)生活的幾種有益方法．和美國(guó)人交友、向他們學(xué)習(xí)、多渠道拓展你的知識(shí)、做校園導(dǎo)師等方法使自己更好的融入美國(guó)社會(huì)，提升自己的英語(yǔ)水平和適應(yīng)能力．

解答 GAFDC
36．G．考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力．一開(kāi)始提出Make friends with American students，所以否認(rèn)國(guó)際生之間交朋友的方式，而是鼓勵(lì)和美國(guó)人交友，即Hanging out with natives naturally pushes you to improve your oral English．后面進(jìn)一步敘述這種益處；故選G．
37．A．考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力．后面內(nèi)容主要描述的是希望美國(guó)朋友在語(yǔ)言學(xué)校方面能夠給自己的幫助，所以Learn from native speakers．正是本段敘述的重點(diǎn)；故選A．
38．F．考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力．本段的開(kāi)頭提供的方法之一就是Expand your knowledge．那么具體的內(nèi)容應(yīng)該是Read books，keep up with news and watch popular shows and movies．通過(guò)這些途徑更好的融入當(dāng)?shù)厝说臅?huì)話和交流中；故選F．
39．D．考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力．該句后面you try to find alternative ways to make yourself understood是說(shuō)你會(huì)努力找到相關(guān)的替代方法來(lái)表達(dá)你自己，那么前提條件應(yīng)該是如果你想向別人解釋某事物時(shí)，即if引導(dǎo)條件狀語(yǔ)從句：D．If you have to explain something to someone in English，故選D．
40．C．考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力．最后這句話so this is a good way to make some extra cash while improving your conversational English skills點(diǎn)明了這種方法的雙重好處，所以這是一個(gè)雙贏的結(jié)果；故選C．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文屬于七選五閱讀理解，做此類題要在理解文章整體的基礎(chǔ)上，補(bǔ)全所缺的部分．針對(duì)這個(gè)特點(diǎn)，解答時(shí)要注意語(yǔ)境和上下文的聯(lián)系，同時(shí)還要注意文章的寫(xiě)作方法和結(jié)構(gòu)．尤其要留心選項(xiàng)中的信息詞（空格前后句子中與選項(xiàng)中相同或相近的詞），站在作者的寫(xiě)作立場(chǎng)，選出最符合作者原意的句子．

10．Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy．Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and have more respectable jobs．But in the executive（主管的） circle，（31）itcan become a disadvantage．
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder，it is（32）harmful（harm） to a woman．Handsome male executives are considered having more honesty than plainer men； effort and ability usually lead（33）totheir success．Attractive female executives are considered to have less honesty than unattractive（34）ones；people do not connect their success with ability（35）butwith factors such as luck．All unattractive women executives are thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives．However，interestingly，the rise of the unattractive overnight successes（36）is connected（connect） more to personal relationships and less to ability．
Attractive women are not thought to be able．This is true even in politics．Anne Bowman，a writer，（37）whorecently made a study，asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs，one of men and one of women，in order of attractiveness．And then the students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices．They were asked to rank them again，in the order they would vote（38）forthem．The results showed that attractive males（39）completely（complete） defeated unattractive men，but the women （40）ranked（rank） most attractive by the students unchangeably received the fewest votes．

Lonely people are all around us，but most of us （59）D notice them．Just take a look around you．Sometimes，the smallest（60）B gesture can make a world of difference．

6．Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children．Not caring about the money，parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England，the United States or Australia．（71）E The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is，the better it is．So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education．（72）F
However，what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap and they should teach them the most important skills they need to be confident，happy and clever．（73）G Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life．（74）C It is an enjoyable but difficult experience．A good cook always tries to improve his cooking，so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully．His result，a well-cooked dinner，will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence．
Some old machines，such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest．He will spend hours looking at them，trying to fix them； your child might become an engineer when he grows up．These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book，but rather to think，to use his mind．（75）B 

    A．But is it correct？
    B．And that is more important．
    C．Cooking demands patience and time．
    D．They also require their children to take a lot of tests．
    E．They also want their children to take extra-course activities．
    F．Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter．
    G．Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking，sewing and doing other housework．
