考研英語(yǔ)閱讀理解全真模擬題法學(xué)類試題（十四）

One of the most exciting and enriching experiences a person can have is that of living abroad.

Whether one spends a year away or many，living abroad is the first opportunity one has to stand on the outside of one‘s country and look in，to compare cultures，procedures，mentalities，etc.We’in the U.S.A.do very little REAL travelling abroad，much less living，and this bent toward isolation is probably detrimental to us in the long run.Living abroad，however，works better when it is a choice and not an obligation.I know of several cases in which a few people were persuaded by others that the solutions to their domestic problems lay in living abroad.In these cases，it was the wrong advice.These people were，for the most part，like fish out of the bowl and overall，everything went wrong and only a few things right.

What country and what part of the world should one choose ? Here，personal interests and/or curiosity enter the picture.Additionally，one need not think in terms of a single country but two or three.It is easier.of course，to get in and out of a“Western World”or“Christian”country since these usually share our sense of values，also，a country traditionally and firmly considered a political ally is an option.such as Japan.Even it is fairly“westernized”。

After choosing several candidate countries，one should do research as extensively as possible on these countries.Contact with the embassies needs to be made in order to find out the degree of difficulty in getting a visa or permit to work.What kind of work is available? Which professions and/or occupations are needed most ? How do the answers to these questions tie in with your profession or occupation? Many of the long-term or permanent expats (The term doesn't necessarily mean unpatriotic!)in any given country usually married foreigners or“l(fā)ocals”and，as a result，enjoy the privilege of having TWO countries in which to live.

One of the countries might be more favorable than the other due to factors such as jobs，lifestyle，cultural interests，pace of living，climate，the couple‘s ages，etc.one who is ambitious sense is unlikely to go and spend five to ten years in a country that pays poor wages， yet the same country might be appropriate for the person who is ambitious to achieve greater depth in culture ，academics ，spirituality ，languages ，ect.

難句點(diǎn)津

One who is ambitious in a material sense is unlikely to go and spend five to ten years in a country that pays poor wages.yet the same country might be appropriate for me person who is ambitious to achieve greater depth in culture，academics，spirituality，languages，etc.

[點(diǎn)津]該句主句為yet連接的并列句。前一個(gè)分句的主干是One is unlikely to go and spend five to ten years;其中who引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句修飾主語(yǔ)one，that引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句修飾country.后一個(gè)分句的主干是The country might be appropriate，who引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句修飾person.

一個(gè)人能擁有的最令人興奮和最長(zhǎng)閱歷的經(jīng)歷之一就是在國(guó)外生活。無(wú)論是一年還是許多年，在國(guó)外生活是一個(gè)人第一次站在國(guó)門外審視自己的國(guó)家，進(jìn)行文化、程序、思想等方面的比較。在美國(guó)我們很少真正去國(guó)外旅游，到國(guó)外生活就更少了。從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)來(lái)看，這種傾向于孤立的狀態(tài)對(duì)我們來(lái)說(shuō)很有可能是有害的。然而，當(dāng)在國(guó)外生活是一種選擇而不是一種義務(wù)時(shí)，情況要好得多。我了解的幾個(gè)例子中，一些人說(shuō)服他人說(shuō)解決國(guó)內(nèi)問(wèn)題的最好辦法就是移居國(guó)外。在這些例子中，這是個(gè)錯(cuò)誤的建議。在很大程度上，這些人就像離開(kāi)水的魚(yú)，總體來(lái)看，所有的事情都有問(wèn)題，只有一些是對(duì)的。

應(yīng)該選擇哪個(gè)國(guó)家和哪個(gè)地區(qū)呢?這里應(yīng)該考慮的是個(gè)人的興趣和/或好奇心。此外，不應(yīng)該只考慮一個(gè)國(guó)家，而是兩三個(gè)國(guó)家。當(dāng)然，出入一個(gè)“西方世界”或“基督教國(guó)家”要容易些，因?yàn)樗麄兺ǔ：臀覀兊膬r(jià)值觀相同。而且，一個(gè)國(guó)家傳統(tǒng)上會(huì)把明確地政治聯(lián)盟看作是一種選擇。比如日本。即使它也是相當(dāng)“西方化的”。

在選定幾個(gè)備選國(guó)家之后，應(yīng)該盡可能廣泛地調(diào)查這些國(guó)家。需要與這些國(guó)家的大使館聯(lián)系。以確定得到簽證或工作許可的難易程度。要確定這些國(guó)家能夠提供哪種工作?他們最需要哪些專業(yè)或職業(yè)?這些問(wèn)題的答案與你的專業(yè)和職業(yè)有怎樣的關(guān)系?許多長(zhǎng)期或永久移居國(guó)外者(這并不一定就說(shuō)他們不愛(ài)國(guó)!)通常會(huì)與外國(guó)人或當(dāng)?shù)厝私Y(jié)婚，這樣的話，他們就能享受在兩個(gè)國(guó)家居住的特權(quán)。

其中的一個(gè)國(guó)家可能會(huì)因?yàn)楣ぷ?、生活方式、文化興趣、生活節(jié)奏、氣候和配偶的年齡等因素比另外一個(gè)國(guó)家更受人歡迎。一個(gè)對(duì)物質(zhì)生活要求很高的人是不可能去一個(gè)工資水平很低的國(guó)家居住5到10年的，然而，同樣的國(guó)家或許更適合一個(gè)對(duì)文化、學(xué)術(shù)、精神生活和語(yǔ)言等方面有較高興趣的人。

答案解析

1. C 語(yǔ)義題。文章第一段首先提到居住在國(guó)外的好處，接下來(lái)被考查詞所在句提到“我們美國(guó)人很少進(jìn)行真正的出國(guó)旅行，更別說(shuō)在國(guó)外居住了，從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)來(lái)看，這種與世隔絕的傾向可能對(duì)我們是——”。下文是講到外國(guó)居住需注意的問(wèn)題，可推斷作者對(duì)出國(guó)居住是持贊同觀點(diǎn)的 ， 由此可推斷，作者認(rèn)為很少到國(guó)外旅行及居住是有害處的。所以C(有害的)正確。

2. D 推斷題。文章第一段第二句指出，居住在國(guó)外使得一個(gè)人第一次有機(jī)會(huì)處于自己的國(guó)家之外，對(duì)比不同國(guó)家的文化、辦事程序、思想等，由此推斷，居住在國(guó)外可以促進(jìn)文化交流，所以D正確。該段第三句提到，美國(guó)人很少出國(guó)旅行，更別說(shuō)在國(guó)外居住了，可見(jiàn)在國(guó)外居住并非許多美國(guó)人的首選，故排除A;第四句指出，當(dāng)居住在國(guó)外是一種選擇而非義務(wù)時(shí)，其效果會(huì)好得多，可見(jiàn)居住在國(guó)外不僅是一種選擇，也可能是本人不得已而為之的“義務(wù)”，故排除C;該段最后提到，把國(guó)內(nèi)解決不了的問(wèn)題寄予到國(guó)外居住來(lái)解決是錯(cuò)誤的建議，但并非所有出國(guó)居住的建議都是錯(cuò)誤的，故排除B.

3. A 細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第二段開(kāi)頭提到，在選擇國(guó)家時(shí)，首先要考慮個(gè)人的興趣或好奇心所在，可見(jiàn)應(yīng)該選擇自己感興趣的國(guó)家，所以A正確。該段還提到，對(duì)于美國(guó)人來(lái)說(shuō)，到一個(gè)西方國(guó)家或信奉基督教的國(guó)家居住相對(duì)要容易一些，并不是如B選項(xiàng)所說(shuō)，要選擇不同信仰的國(guó)家，故排除B;該段接著說(shuō)道，到日本等政治聯(lián)盟國(guó)家居住也比較容易，而并非政治體系相同的國(guó)家，故排除c;原文并未提到要選擇在同一大陸上的國(guó)家，故排除D.

4. B 推斷題。文章第三段第二句提到，應(yīng)該和大使館聯(lián)系以便確定拿到簽證或工作許可的困難程度，由此推斷，在選定候選國(guó)家之后，應(yīng)該從大使館獲取適當(dāng)?shù)男畔?，故選B.該段首句提到，應(yīng)盡可能多地去了解選定的國(guó)家，但調(diào)查有關(guān)這些國(guó)家的一切顯然是不可能的，故排除。

5. D 推斷題。本題可采用排除法。最后一段首句提到，工作、生活方式、文化興趣、生活節(jié)奏、氣候等都是選擇一個(gè)國(guó)家的因素，但并未表明工作和生活方式是最重要的因素，故排除A;該段接下來(lái)提到注重物質(zhì)條件的人不可能去薪水較低的國(guó)家待5到10年，然而同樣的國(guó)家卻可能適合想要在文化、學(xué)術(shù)、語(yǔ)言等方面有所作為的人，可見(jiàn)在文化和學(xué)術(shù)方面有抱負(fù)的人可能在薪水較低的國(guó)家長(zhǎng)期居住，故排除B、C，確定D為答案。
