【題目】Homesickness at college

The thought of college life is quite exciting for students as they taste independence for the first time at college. Their hard work and effort paid off after all. Though college life brings lots of dreams and expectations for students, most of them soon start feeling homesick. 【1】But change is a part of life and dealing with change helps us to grow. In the same way, homesickness at college is a brief experience which goes away once students start adjusting in their new environment.

【2】Some students may turn to alcohol and drugs. So it is important that students who experience homesickness at college know about how to deal with it.

Though it is not a difficult task, the time that will take each person to deal with home-

sickness at college will be different according to their attitude and personality.【3】You

can do that, too.

Remember overcoming homesickness is accepting what you are experiencing. Many students think that being homesick is childish and undeveloped feeling and try to cover it up by acting cool or showing that they are very busy.【4】Besides, even their classmates will be going through the same emotions and feelings. Instead of trying to make them understand that they are totally fine after shifting to the new school, going through their emotions and thoughts about life at home for a day or two will be a better choice.【5】

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】F

【2】B

【3】G

【4】C

【5】E

【解析】本文是一篇說明文，主要向我們說明了在大學想家是一件很正常的事，我們應該妥善解決鄉(xiāng)愁，否則可能會導致危險的后果。想家的時候在家里生活一兩天是個很不錯的選擇，它也是想家過程中的重要組成。

【1】根據上文“ most of them soon start feeling homesick. ”但大多數人很快就開始想家了，下文“But change is a part of life and dealing with change helps us to grow. ”但變化是生活的一部分，應對變化幫助我們成長。F項The main reason for the development of such a feeling is change。產生這種感覺的主要原因是變化。既解釋了想家的原因，又連接了下文，具有承上啟下的作用，故選F。

【2】由后文“Some students may turn to alcohol and drugs. So it is important that students who experience homesickness at college know about how to deal with it. ”有些學生可能會酗酒和吸毒。所以，在大學里經歷過思鄉(xiāng)病的學生知道如何處理它是很重要的。可知如果不能妥善解決，思鄉(xiāng)病會導致危險的后果。B符合語境，故選B。

【3】由前文“sickness at college will be different according to their attitude and personality.”大學里的疾病會根據他們的態(tài)度和性格而有所不同。G項 Believe this is a possible achievement that everyone can achieve.符合語境，故選G。

【4】由前文“Many students think that being homesick is childish and undeveloped feeling and try to cover it up by acting cool or showing that they are very busy.”許多學生認為，想家是幼稚和不發(fā)達的感覺，掩飾它的冷靜或顯示他們很忙。可我們知道這并不是正確的，所以下面很自然的就要進行轉折，C. But they don’t realize that homesickness is common to people of all ages.但是他們沒有意識到，鄉(xiāng)愁是所有年齡的人共同的。符合語境，故選D。

【5】由前文“ life at home for a day or two will be a better choice.”可知想家的時候在家住一兩天是個不錯的選擇。E項This is an important part in the process of beating homesickness.這是一個在想家的過程中的重要組成部分。符合邏輯與語境，故選E。
