【正文】 I had to ask myself what the chances were of an Asian man dressed in an Egyptian galabia ing down from the top of this historic mountain just when I was walking up, stopping before me, and offering his wisdom, seemingly from out of nowhere. My answer to my own question was easy: the odds were slim to none! In a meet that lasted less than two minutes on a mountain halfway around the world from my home, a total stranger had brought clarity and the hint of a warning, regarding the huge changes that I would make within a matter of days. In my way of thinking, that39。 I suspect that we all experience small miracles in our lives every day. Sometimes we have the wisdom and the courage to recognize them for what they are In the moments when we don39。s okay as well. It seems that our miracles have a way of ing back to us again and again. And each time they do, they bee a little less subtle, until we can39。re everywhere and occur every day for different reasons, in response to the different needs that we may have in the moment. Our job may be less about questioning the extraordinary things that happen in our daily lives and more about accepting the gifts they bring.（1）Why did the author make a pilgrimage to Mt Horeb in Egypt?

If you plan to head to Paris for a study period, then perhaps a little reality check is in order. But my experience was a romantic one. 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.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. 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? A.B.C.D.An exchange student39。B.An exchange program.D.Enjoying coffee in his spare time.Greeting people in French in the street.C.D.The friendly people he met in Paris.B.The academic achievement he made in his study.D. （1）考查詞義猜測(cè)。由此推知，劃線詞的意思是“快樂(lè)，幸?！?。 （2）考查主旨大意。從第二段到最后，文章詳細(xì)敘述了作者在巴黎的所見(jiàn)所聞，內(nèi)心感受等。故選A。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(wú)法提供步行在巴黎閑逛帶給你的體驗(yàn)。由此可知，除了讀書，作者最珍惜的經(jīng)歷是在巴黎閑逛。 （4）考查推理判斷?！癟he best part about going on exchange in Paris is falling in love with the city in your own unique way.
