“My favorite thing about my ABA University experience was with my beautiful host family. I selected a
homestay and its best part is that it helps me to improve my knowledge of the local culture.”
—— Sofia from Poland

residence dining area, apart from on trip days.
Key Facts

Questions 20-23 are based on the following passage:

Budapest, the capital of Hungary, is one of the best kept secrets in Europe. This beautiful city is
divided into two towns by the Danube River. The east side is called Buda and the west side is called
Pest. Buda is the hilly side and Pest is the flat side. While travelers often think of Paris and London as
the must-see cities of Europe, they may overlook the historic Ottoman architecture (建筑）of Buda，
the wide streets of Pest, and above all the sweeping views of the wide Danube River.
The Castle Hill
The narrow streets, historic buildings, and attractive views make the Castle Hill a favorite place
to wander on the west side of the city. Visitors can see the Buda Castle which was the home of
Hungarian kings. The Buda Castle is now the home of the Budapest History Museum and the
Hungarian National Gallery.
The Fisherman’s Bastion
The favorite viewing area for tourists in the Castle Hill is the Fisherman’s Bastion. A bastion is a
strong place that can resist attacks. The name may come from a group of fishermen who fought against
enemies during the Middle Ages. The fairy tale architecture includes seven turrets (small pointed
towers), statues, and wide stone steps. Down below one can see sweeping views of the river Danube.
The Chain Bridge
The city’s most beautiful bridge, the Chain Bridge, crosses the Danube River and connects the
Buda side of the capital city with the Pest side. The cast iron structure of the bridge gives the bridge its
popular name. Opened in 1849，the Chain Bridge was the first permanent bridge across the Danube. At
the time it was considered an engineering wonder. Today the Chain Bridge is most famous for its
wonderful views of the city and the Danube River. Just like the Brooklyn Bridge has become a cultural
symbol in the United States, people see the Chain Bridge as an important part of Hungarian culture.
During air plane races in Budapest, daring pilots fly upside down under the bridge. It can also be seen
in movies like I Spy and Walking with the Enemy.

Questions 24-27 are based on the following passage:

I have dreamed of becoming an architect (建筑师）since I was a child but, unlike most of the
childhood dreams we have, this one did not go away as I grew older. I still cannot imagine myself
being content in any other profession. To me, being an architect is not just about designing new
buildings to fill up space. It is about designing a better, more comfortable, beautiful, and delightful life
for people who will live, work, or just pass by to witness its artistic construction. To make my biggest
dream happen, I can find no better place than ABC University to acquire this profession.
ABC University has what a top university should have. It has its special history; it has an
outstanding campus and inspiring program opportunities, such as architecture, art, programming,
space science, etc.; it has outstanding staff; it has core values that I admire and share; and of course, it
is a unique melting pot of cultures, traditions, and races which I eagerly anticipate becoming a part of.
ABC University for me is no less than a dream school to acquire the skills and knowledge I need, and
to master my dream profession of being an architect.
Besides being a perfect place to study and learn, I see ABC University as a wonderful place to
spend my leisure time away from classes. Being an open-minded and sociable person, with a lot of
different hobbies I still want to learn to do competently, I believe ABC University is the best place to
explore myself, improve my skills and gain new ones. I have decided to enjoy the experience of
American student life to the fullest.
The minute I step onto the grounds of ABC University campus, it feels like home—a feeling that
I never get any time while I am away from my homeland. I feel comfortable walking through the halls
of the campus buildings. I feel this is where I belong and where I want to spend the next four years of
my life.

Questions 28-31 are based on the following passage:

Summer time is a time for children to stretch their legs, get out of the classroom, and change their
daily routine. But it is also a time when learning habits and exercising can begin to dwindle. There are
a great many benefits to helping them get moving during the summer months. Physical activity during
summer vacation can help children retain what they’ve learned, exercise their brains, prepare them for
the school year ahead, and encourage a love of physical activity that can last them a lifetime.
After school lets out for the summer, academic skills can begin to fade. But that doesn’t mean that
children need to spend their summer vacation sitting at a desk. Studies show that kids who engage in
2-3 hours of educational activities per week can retain the skills they’ve learned during the previous
school year. Movement can also help children retain what they’ve learned, enhance comprehension of
concepts, and support the learning experience. Incorporating (把…纳入）movement and education
into the summer months, whether it be by combining cooking and mathematics or hiking and physics,
can help your kids retain those critical skills they’ll need in the coming year.
Recent studies have indicated that exercise can also substantially improve memory. In a study
conducted at the University of British Columbia, researchers learned that aerobic exercise (有氧运动）
can actually energize the part of the brain that is responsible for memory and learning. It stimulates
blood vessels (血管）in the brain, helps protect cells, and helps grow new blood vessels in the brain.
Physical activity also helps to grow, adapt, and respond better to future challenges. Even 20 minutes of
moderate-intensity exercise per week can be enough to improve your child’s memory. In addition,
getting kids involved in sports and interactive games helps them develop important social skills such
as communication, cooperation and participation.

28. What does the word “dwindle” (Para. 1) most probably mean?
A. Combine. B. Increase. C. Develop. D. Fade.
29. What are children encouraged to do in summer time according to the passage?
A. To do physical activities.
B. To prepare for the school year ahead.
C. To memorize what they’ve learned.
D. To improve their learning habits.
30. According to the passage, the effective way for students to retain their learned skills is .
A. to spend their vacation sitting at a desk
B. to incorporate movement and education
C. to take 2-3 hours of classes at school per week
D. to take part in cooking or hiking clubs
31. What is important for strengthening the brain according to the passage?
A. Physical challenges B. Aerobic exercise.
 C. Strong blood vessels D. Social communication

Questions 32-35 are based on the following passage:

As a parent of a child with cystic fibrosis (囊性纤维化）who has been treated at the Lucile
Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford since the day he was born, Kirsten McGowan can give proof to
the challenges of having a child who is frequently in the hospital. It is especially tough for her son
Patrick, 7, because patients with cystic fibrosis must sometimes stay confined to their rooms and
separated from other kids to avoid infection.
In the new hospital, even kids who can’t get out of bed or leave their room can still engage with
nature. Outside each patient room window is a planter box fall of greenery, and every floor has
spacious backyards, offering children and their parents a convenient way to go outside without leaving
the unit.
“When you’re in the hospital, you need some given space that’s kind of your own, where you can
read a book or play with your child,” explains McGowan, who also works as a parent advisor in the
Family-Centered Care department. “Places like the gardens create a sanctuary where we can step
away from the stress of being in the hospital. ’’
Spending time outside and connecting with nature have always been at the center of Lucile
Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford’s approach, dating back to when its founder Lucile Packard first
became a volunteer at its precursor (前身), the Stanford Home for Convalescent Children.
In 1986, Lucile and David Packard donated (捐赠）$40 million to create Lucile Packard
Children’s Hospital Stanford. The original facility opened in 1991 and is now the hospital’s West
Building, and it will begin its own multi-year renovation (翻新）project, ultimately transforming into
a dedicated center for expectant mothers and their babies.
32. Why does Patrick sometimes have to be separated from other children?
A. To help him be better treated.
B. To prevent him from being challenged.
C. To protect him from being infected.
D. To keep him from being laughed at.
33. What is special about the new hospital?
A. It frees patients from their pains and worries.
B. It provides care to patients.
C. It offers parent-advising services to patients.
D. It enables patients to be close to nature.
34. What does the word “sanctuary” (Para. 3) most probably mean?
A. Shelter. B. Library. C. Park. D. Center.
35. What can be learned about the West Building of the hospital?
A. It receives donations from different volunteers.
B. It will become a center for expectant mothers.
 C. It will move into a new area.
D. It offers a unique environment for natural treatment.

When I was about 14 years old, I wanted to buy music records from my favorite bands (乐队),
but I did not have any money. My parents were not the 36 of people to give money to me out of
nowhere, or even for work 37 at home. I had to find work in order to purchase the music I wanted.
So, I went to the oldest person I knew in my neighborhood, Mrs. Hudson. She was over 80 years
old, and could not 38 her garden anymore. She had flowers and some tomato plants. I knocked
on her door, building up enough 39 to ask her for work. She answered that indeed she needed
help in her garden. She did not discuss the 40 of money I would get for the work.
My first job was to 41 out weeds in her front yard and backyard. After this boring task, I
took care of the flowers. That was it for my first day, and it took me about two hours. I asked her how
much I would get 42 , and she said, “I will give you $5 an hour.” It was less than I thought I would
get, 43 at least I had a job.
After getting that $10, I walked the few miles to the 44 section of the supermarket, and
bought a record from the band “Tool”, which was extremely popular at that time among teenagers.
I think everyone should do something similar as I did 45 young. It seems these experiences
harden our spirits and resolve, and make us more in touch with the earth.
