I dreamed of going to the USA when I was a middle school student. When I was in high school, I made up my   小題1:  to go to America.
I wanted to study English and American culture. And I didn’t want to study in college in Japan at all. In Japan, it is very   小題2: to enter a famous college or university but easy to graduate, so students don’t study hard after they enter the college or university. This was one of the reasons why I came to America.
I came to America last September. I have been here for eight months. When I first came here, I was very surprised. There are many differences   小題3: Japan and America. I felt it was very strange and interesting.
I was also very upset because I heard English   小題4: . Whenever I watched TV, went shopping, or even   小題5:  a walk, I heard only English. Everything was very hard for me because I could hardly understand English. Now I am used to hearing English and I can talk with Americans more easily,   小題6:  things are getting better.

If I didn’t come here, maybe I didn’t realize these things. This is the most important experience in my life. I’m going to stay here for about three years. I’ll never forget the life in the USA.

Answer 1

小題1:mind
小題2:difficult/hard
小題3:between
小題4:everywhere
小題5:took/had
小題6:so
小題7:myself
小題8:what

試題分析：
小題1:考查固定短語make one’s mind to do 下定決心做某事。
小題2:結合下文but easy to graduate,可知日本大學是難進易出，聯系謂語動詞is，可知填形容詞difficult或者hard。
小題3:結合句意可知考查介詞between，這個詞常和and一起構成固定短語，在……和……之間。
小題4:根據Whenever I watched TV, went shopping, or even   82  a walk,及下文描述，可知本句意思為我也很心煩，因為到處聽到的都是英語。故填everywhere。
小題5:聯系下文a walk可知前面缺少謂語動詞，故填take，從事或者have從事的過去時態。
小題6:本句不缺少句子成分，聯系上下文可知前后兩句為因果關系，故填連詞so。
小題7:考查短語by oneself。結合上文此時作者是一個人獨自生活，句子主語為I，故填by myself。
小題8:通過分析可知賓語從句缺少邏輯賓語，故填what，我想做的事。
點評：本文記述了一位日本留學生在美國的留學生活。短文講述了他為什么來美國留學的原因，在美國的生活有不適應到逐漸習慣的過程，短文最好作者描寫了自己來美國這段時間的一些收獲。本文描寫心理活動較多，閱讀中注意體會。本題較難，答題時先根據上下文推出句意然后猜出所需單詞，在確定單詞適當形式完成句子。有些答案不唯一，注意分析比較，選出最佳答案。
