Living abroad to study can certainly be an interesting experience but is that alone a good enough reason for spending years far away from home? To make the experience truly worthwhile, there has to be a goal behind the decision to study abroad. This may be a wish to perfect language skills in a foreign language environment, or a clever move in your career development. You must also consider the costs, not just of living and studying abroad, but of applying. Most universities now charge application fees for international students.
If after considering these points you are sure that you want to apply to study abroad, your next step is to choose the right programme of studies. Research your choices and select carefully. You must do your homework well. Most universities have information online but you can also email and ask them to send you more details. You can find a lot of information on school ranking from education websites. But read carefully. Different universities emphasize different strengths. Don't just think about the university's reputation (名声); look for the most suitable for your goals.
Next, you must deal with a large pile of paperwork. This involves filling in application form, preparing your school records, and getting reference letters. Reading the instructions and requirements of the universities carefully is of great importance. Sadly, many fine applicants get_kicked_out_in_the_first_round,_simply because they don't follow the application procedure properly.
Money is another important consideration. Some scholarships are provided by governments, others by schools and colleges. This information, again, can be found on the Internet. If you find a scholarship that is suitable for you, follow the application procedure carefully; the earlier you apply, the better your chance of getting it.
1．According to the article, studying abroad is truly worthwhile because ________.
A. it is an interesting experience
B. it is fun to travel around the world

答案与解析　C　依据文章第三句话中“a clever move in your career development”可知，C项正确。
2．A school ranking list tells you ________.
A. how much the courses cost
B. the names of all the professors
C. how good the school is compared to others
D. where the school is located
答案与解析　C　依据其次段第五句可知在训练网站上可以找到很多院校排名的信息。在随后的几句里也可以看出“School ranking list”里可以看出各个院校的不同强项和名声。C项正确。
3．What are the three basic steps when you apply?
A. Buy an airplane ticket, read the instructions and requirements, and study.
B. Prepare reference letters, prepare school records, and fill in the application form.
C. Prepare school records, do paperwork, and work hard.
D. Write a reference letter, do paperwork, and study.

A. fail to get to the next round
B. lose money in the first round
C. get accepted in the next round

答案与解析　A　由其所在句可知，由于他们没有恰当地遵循申请步骤，很多好的申请者在第一轮选拔中被kicked out(踢出局)。A项正确。

Newspapers have certainly been around for a long time. Many New Zealand newspapers are now heading towards their 125th anniversaries (周年纪念), and some New Zealand newspapers are more than 140 years old.
However, some people think that newspapers are yesterday's medium (传播媒介) and that new media, like the television and even the Internet, will in the near future cause newspapers to die. What is clear is that the growth of new media, such as the Internet, will cause newspapers themselves to change in order to meet people's needs.
People read newspapers because of their unique (独特的) strength. They have a large audience and yet a certain attraction. They reach the majority of the population each day through national and international news and they offer, too, interest to gardeners, cooks, soldiers and so on. Newspapers stay strong also because of people's continued love of reading. Reading is an active and involving(参与的) activity. People are able to read at their speeds and return to what they have read for particular information they need.
Newspapers will certainly not stop the Internet being a competitor. But no newly­introduced news medium has ever killed an old one, and if best guesses are to be made, it is likely that this will be the case with this_new_medium as well.
5. According to some people, the cause of the “disappearing” of the newspaper is that________.
A. it is an old medium
B. people will not like reading
C. it can no longer meet people's needs
D. it has stayed unchanged for many years
答案与解析　A　其次段第一句，与new media对应。
6. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Some New Zealand newspapers have more than 140 years of history.
B. People read newspapers because newspapers are very cheap to get.
C. Newspapers can provide different interests to different people.
D. People can read newspapers at a preferable speed.
答案与解析　B　文章第三段叙述了人们宠爱读报纸的缘由，唯独没有提到B项内容。
7. What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. The Internet will take the place of newspapers in the future.
B. Newspapers will stop the Internet from becoming a competitor.
C. Newly­introduced news media have killed many old ones.
D. Newspapers will not be killed by any newly­introduced news media.
答案与解析　D　即最终一段的其次句话。
8. The underlined part “this new medium” in the last paragraph refers to________.
A. newspapers
B. the Internet
C. the television
D. any other new medium
答案与解析　B　文中讲到的“新媒介”是指因特网。
