【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 ed of the official processes I had to plete — forms to be filled in, meetings to attend, the list seemed endless. Then the real work began. Once classes were underway, I found myself volunteering to do oral presentations and assignments first, rather than last. This method proved to be very helpful. Once I had finished class for the week, I had an everincreasing list of museums to visit, neighborhoods to explore, and caf233。s to sit in. Read books about Paris. Talk to locals and other foreigners living there. But the one thing that reading a book or talking to someone cannot do is to provide you with the experience of wandering Paris on foot. The people watching, the sounds of the city, the colors as the seasons change, they all add to the ecstasy that I experience in Paris as an exchange student. After spending five months wandering through the charming neighborhoods, I fell in love with the atmosphere that came out from every open door, and with every spoken word. There is something forting about walking to the market each Sunday to enjoy the beautiful display of fruits, vegetables and dairy products. There is warmth in saying bonjour to the passersby. On my last day in Paris, I confidently said, Bonjour Monsieur, as I passed the little store down the street. I guess the best part about going on exchange in Paris is falling in love with the city in your own way. And I know mine is unique and special to me, my own little pieces of Paris.（1）What does the underlined word ecstasy in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

I paved my path to Paris through an exchange program”可知，作者作為一名交換生來到巴黎，他認(rèn)為自己的巴黎之行非常浪漫。從第二段到最后，文章詳細(xì)敘述了作者在巴黎的所見所聞，內(nèi)心感受等。故整篇文章講述的是一個交換生在巴黎的經(jīng)歷。故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“The one thing that reading a book or talking to someone cannot do is to provide you with the experience of wandering Paris on foot. I discovered some of my favorite places in Paris by wandering”可知，讀書以及和人交談無法提供步行在巴黎閑逛帶給你的體驗。通過閑逛，作者在巴黎發(fā)現(xiàn)了一些自己最喜歡的地方。由此可知，除了讀書，作者最珍惜的經(jīng)歷是在巴黎閑逛。故選D。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The best part about going on exchange in Paris is falling in love with the city in your own unique way. Everyone39。s experience of Paris is different. I know mine is unique and special to me, my own little pieces of Paris”可知，給作者留下最深的印象是他在這個城市的獨特經(jīng)歷。而從上文可知，他在巴黎體驗到了不同的風(fēng)土人情，不同的文化。故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及推理判斷，詞義猜測和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，要求考生根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 In the nineteenth century, one of America39。s greatest writers, Walt Whitman, helped people learn to value poetry. Whitman created a new kind of poetry. Walt Whitman was born in eighteen nineteen in New York City. During his long life, he watched America grow from a young nation to the strongest industrial power in the world. As a young man, Whitman worked as a school teacher, a printer and a newspaper reporter. He was thirtysix years old when he published his first book of poetry in eighteen fiftyfive. He called it Leaves of Grass. It had only twelve poems. The poems are written in free verse. The lines do not follow any set form. Some lines are short. Some are long. The words at the end of each line do not have a similar sound. They do not rhyme. One of America39。s greatest thinkers and writers immediately recognized the importance of Leaves of Grass. Ralph Waldo Emerson praised Whitman39。s work. But most other poets and writers said nothing and even denounced it. Most readers also rejected Whitman39。s poems. The new form of his poetry surprised many people. Even his own brother told Whitman that he should stop writing poetry. But Whitman had many things to say. And he continued to say them. Readers began to understand that America had a great new poetic voice. Walt Whitman39。s poems praise the United States and its democracy. The poet expressed his love for America and its people in many ways. Experts today praise Leaves of Grass as a major literary work. In eighteen seventythree, Walt Whitman suffered a stroke. He spent the last years of his life in Camden, New Jersey. Whitman was poor and weak during the last years of his life. He died in eighteen ninetytwo. Some critics say Walt Whitman was a spokesman for democracy. Others say he was not a spokesman for anything. Instead, they simply call him a great poet.（1）What can we know about Whitman?
