每题只有一项正确选项。Prior to leaving, I was not in a good place. I had suffered a lot of personal blows and felt emotionally stretched. I lost my grandma, my job and had two car crashes in five months. I needed something to change in my life, and that came in the form of a working holiday visa.I have always been a quiet, shy person and meeting people and making friends has always been a constant struggle. I’ve always had a few friends but never a large social circle. Then I moved to Vancouver and began working at Starbucks. My co-workers were so welcoming and it wasn’t long before we were meeting up after work for dinner, ladies night andsightseeing excursions. I taught them an Australian word of the day and they helped me understand the Canadian lingo, eh? Oh, how I laughed whenever someone ended their sentence with those two letters.Yes, there were times and people that stressed me out, but for the majority of my employment I enjoyed going to work every day. I worked alongside great people who were more than my co-workers, they were my friends. We had fun at work listening to trashy 90s music, drinking our daily Starbucks and serving our friendly regulars.I also met other great people through this job, including the employees at the breweries we regularly parked outside and other food truck owners. We traded food and beer and stories and most days it didn’t feel like my job.But I couldn’t live in North America and not see more of it, so I saved up what I could (thanks mum and dad for the extra loan) and spent just under three months traversing Canada and the United States (with an afternoon in Mexico). I did a massive circle from Vancouver over to the East Coast, across Southern USA and up the West Coast.I gained confidence with each stop and each hostel. I adored seeing a new city every few days. I loved walking around and capturing places with my new DSLR. I was proud of myself for constantly stepping out of my comfort zone and embracing the unknown. This solo adventure changed me in a lot of good ways, including ensuring my wanderlust is still running strong through me.What happened to the author before she left for Canada?She suffered personal blows.She was undergoing emotional stretched.She lost her grandmother, her job and had two car crashes in five months.She decided to go to another country to live for a while.What did they do while at work?They listened to 90s music, drank their daily Starbucks and served their friendly regulars.They met up for dinner, ladies night and sightseeing excursions.The author taught her co-workers an Australian word of the dayThey helped her understand the Canadian use of “eh” at the end of sentences.What does the author mean by saying “it didn't feel like my job”?She loved her job so much that she didn't feel she was working.She doesn't like her job.She felt her job was tiring and would like to give it up.She didn't feel good to the job she was doing.Where did she travel?She did a massive circle, from Australia to Canada.She did a massive circle, from Vancouver, Canade to Queensland , Australia.She did a massive circle, from America to Vancouver, Canada.She did a massive circle, starting from Vancouver, going all the way to the East Coast, then across Southern USA and finally up the West Coast.How did she feel on her trip across Canada and the United States?She was afraid she would be an expat forever.She was proud of herself for constantly stepping out of her comfort zone and embracing the unknown.She thought she had to make a decision where she should settle down somewhere.She decided to keep a pet and wanted someone by her side.

题目考察内容
本题为英语阅读理解选择题,主要考查对文章细节信息的理解与提取能力,需根据文本内容准确判断每个问题的正确选项。
题目1:作者离开前发生了什么?
选项分析:
- A:She suffered personal blows.(她遭受了个人打击。)
- B:She was undergoing emotional stretched..(她情绪紧张。)
- C:She lost her grandma, her job and had two car crashes in five months.(她在五个月内失去了奶奶、工作,还遭遇了两次车祸。)
- D:She decided to go to another countrycountrycountry to live for a while.(她决定去另一个国家住一段时间。)
解题思路:
文本首段明确提到:“I had suffered a lot of personal blows and felt emotionally stretched. I lost my grandma, my job and had two car crashes in five months. 选项选项选项A、B仅为部分内容,C涵盖了所有具体事件,D是结果而非“离开前”发生的事。答案:C
题目2:他们在工作时做什么?
选项分析:
- A:They listened to 90s music, drank their daily Starbucks and served their friendly regulars.(他们听90年代音乐,喝星巴克,服务常客。)
- B:They met up for dinner, ladies night and sightseeing excursions.(他们下班后聚餐、女士之夜和观光。)
- C:The author taught her co-workers an Australian word of the day.(作者教同事每日澳大利亚单词。)
- D:They helped her understand the Canadian use of “eh” at the end of sentences.(他们帮助她理解加拿大人在句末用“eh”的习惯。)
解题思路:
题目问“while at work”(工作时)是关键。文本第三段提到:“We had fun at work listening to trashy 90s music, drinking our daily Starbucks and serving our friendly regulars.” 直接对应选项A。B是“after work”(下班后)的活动,C、D是工作外的交流,均不符合“工作时”的场景。答案:A
题目3:作者说“it didn't feel like my job”是什么意思?
选项分析:
- A:She loved her job so much that she didn't feel she was working.(她太爱工作了,感觉不像在工作。)
- B:She doesn't like her job.(她不喜欢这份工作。)
- C:She felt her job was tiring and would like to give it it up.(她觉得工作累,想放弃。)
- D:She didn't feel good to the job she was doing.(她对工作感觉不好。)
解题思路:
结合上下文,作者提到通过这份工作认识了很多人,“We traded food and beer and stories and most days it didn’t feel like my job.” 此处“不觉得像工作”是因为工作充满乐趣,而非负面感受。A选项“太爱工作所以不觉得在工作”符合文意;B、C、D均为负面态度,与文本积极基调矛盾。答案:A
题目4:她去了哪里旅行?
选项分析:
- A:She did a massive circle, from Australia to Canada.(从澳大利亚到加拿大的大环。)
- B:She did a massive circle, from Vancouver, Canada to Queensland, Australia.(从温哥华到澳大利亚昆士兰的大环。)
- C:She did a massive circle, from America to Vancouver, Canada.(从美国到温哥华的大环。)
- D:She did a massive circle, starting from Vancouver, going all the way to the East Coast, then across Southern USA and finally up the West Coast.(从温哥华出发,到东海岸,再穿过美国南部,最后到西海岸的大环。)
解题思路:
文本文本第五段明确描述:“I did a massive circle from Vancouver over to the East Coast, across Southern USA and up the West Coast.” 直接对应选项D。A、B、C的路线均与原文不符。答案:D
题目5:她在穿越加拿大和美国的旅行中感觉如何?
选项分析:
- A:She was afraid she would be an expat forever.(担心永远成为外籍人士。)
