Paris is the city of dreams.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.
I paved my path to Paris through an exchange program.On arrival in Paris，I was constantly reminded of the official processes I had to complete---forms to be filled in，meetings to attend，and 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 ever-increasing list of museums to visit，neighborhoods to explore，and cafes 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.I discovered some of my favorite places in Paris by wandering.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 comforting 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 passers-by.
On my last day in Paris，I confidently said， "Bonjour Monsieur，" as I passed the little store down the street.I guess no matter how hard I tried I was always going to be an outsider，a tourist.The best part about going on exchange in Paris is falling in love with the city in your own unique way.
Everyone's experience of Paris is different.I know mine is unique and special to me，my own little pieces of Paris.

2．When you encounter animals，do you wonder what they're thinking？Seeing a newborn lamb or a cute puppy might arouse happy emotions（情感）in us，but what are they thinking？Does the look on their face and how they behave indicate how they're feeling-or are they feeling nothing at all？
Humans have a complex range of feelings，but it's hard to tell what's going on inside the heads of animals.Some of us own dogs because they are good companions，are loyal and seem to connect with us.We might even think they love us.Professor Kim Bard，an expert in comparative developmental psychology from the University of Portsmouth，told the BBC："We have a few studies now that actually show scientifically that some dogs will respond when their owner-but not a stranger -pretends to cry."The empathetic ability of cats，however，is harder to work out.
Other non-domesticated（非馴養(yǎng)的）animals might have feelings too.Giraffes and whales，for example，are known to experience sadness when someone in their group dies.It's believed that even tiny creatures like insects might have emotions as well.Research is beginning to show they experience a wide range of feelings.Kim says "they can be optimistic，pessimistic，or frightened，and respond to pain just like any mammal would."
Dr Barbara J King，Emerita Professor of Anthropology at the College of William and Mary，told the BBC："If we understand the profound depths of emotions animals can feel，this should make us question the existence of zoos and slaughterhouses（屠宰場）around the world，and rethink those systems.It does seem all creatures feel emotion，but what is not clear is do they feel the same way as us？"
（1）What's the purpose of raising questions in the first paragraph？
A．To entertain.
B．To inspire.
C．To appeal.
D．To persuade.
（2）What do the underlined words"empathetic ability"in paragraph 2 mean？
A．The ability to respond to others' questions.
B．The ability to understand others' feelings.
C．The ability to stay calm when facing danger.
D．The ability to share work with their owners.
（3）What's the importance of the research，according to Barbara？
A．It may reduce the times of people visiting zoos.
B．It may change the food chain of the whole world.
C．It may cause zoos and slaughterhouses to disappear.
D．It may lead people to reconsider animals' well-being.
（4）How do the researchers sound when talking about the issue？
A．Careful.
B．Certain.
C．Critical.
D．Regretful.發(fā)布：2025/1/1 18:0:1組卷：2引用：6難度：0.5 -
3．Jamil Jan Kochai，the author of 99 Nights in Logar，searched for more than a decade for Susan Lung—the second-grade teacher who had changed his life over 20 years earlier.On Saturday night，the two were finally reunited at one of his book-reading events.
The writer was born in a refugee camp（難民營）for Afghans in Peshawar，Pakistan，and his family moved to California when he was just a year old.At home，they spoke mostly Pashto and some Farsi，so by the time he reached first grade，he was at a total loss because he could hardly speak English.Then came Mrs.Lung，who quickly realized that Kochai was deeply struggling at Alyce Norman Elementary School.
The two got to work，meeting for one-on-one lessons nearly every day after school.At the end of the school year，Kochai won reading-comprehension competitions.
Lung and Kochai lost touch when Kochai's father got a job in another city and the boy moved on，with a new love of reading and writing.When he grew older，Kochai's parents encouraged him to find his former teacher to thank her.But despite his efforts，he failed to track her down.
"I didn't know her first name.She was always just Mrs.Lung to me，so when I called places to ask about her，they couldn't find any records of her，"Kochai said.
Then，while promoting his first novel，he wrote an essay for Literary Hub magazine touching on the transformative impact that Lung had on his life.Lung's doctor happened to read it，and told the now-retired educator about that.
Lung's husband saw a Facebook post about Kochai's reading event on Saturday in Davis，California and suggested he drive his wife there.
"I had no idea they were going to be there，"Kochai said."It was just like a sweet dream.Mrs.Lung was sitting in the front row.She was just the same Mrs.Lung.Just as sweet，kind and warm as ever."
Kochai and Lung hugged，and Kochai finally got the chance to express to her how much he still thought of her and how much she meant to him.
（1）How did Mrs.Lung help Kochai？
A．By dropping by his house regularly.
B．By asking him to read more in class.
C．By spending extra time tutoring him.
D．By saving him out of a refugee camp.
（2）Why did Kochai have difficulty finding Mrs.Lung？
A．There were few records about her.
B．His parents provided little support.
C．He was too young to remember her.
D．He had limited information about her.
（3）How did Kochai feel when seeing Mrs.Lung at his reading event？
A．Surprised and delighted.
B．Shocked and angry.
C．Ashamed and regretful.
D．Proud and grateful.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．A Distinguished Guest Showed Up at a Reading Event.
B．A Writer Was Finally Reunited With His Former Teacher.
C．A Famous Teacher Saved a Poor Student's Whole Life.
D．A Book Changed a Celebrity and a Retired Teacher.發(fā)布：2025/1/1 18:0:1組卷：6引用：4難度：0.2
