This feeling is often called “culture shock (冲击). It is important to understand it and learn what to do with it if you want to adapt to your new home’s culture successfully. Generally speaking, there are four stages (阶段) that you will experience after you move to a foreign country. The first stage is usually called the “excitement” stage. When arriving in a new environment, you’ll be interested in the new culture. Everything will seem exciting and everyone will seem friendly. But it won’t be long before you move from the “excitement” stage to the second stage. The excitement you felt before changes to worries. It seems that everything is difficult. The language is hard to learn, friends are difficult to make, and even simple things like shopping have become a difficult problem. It is at this “stress” stage that you may feel worried and homesick. This is the stage which is called “culture shock”. However, culture shock doesn’t last for very long. If you are one of those who manage to get through it, you’ll move to the “recovery” stage. At this stage, you start to understand and accept the way things are done and the way people behave in your new environment. The last stage is the “home” stage. This is the stage when you start to feel at home in the new culture. You start to learn from your new home and to like some ways of the new culture better. Culture shock is common. Everyone in a new situation will go through it. Continue to be brave! And getting through culture shock will be a piece of cake. 26．Among the four stages, which stage can explain how “culture shock” happen? A．The recovery stage. B．The stress stage. C．The excitement stage. D．The home stage. 27．What does the underlined word “adapt” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．get used B．grow up C．live up D．look forward 28．Jane went to study in Germany for the first time. What might she have gone through? (Put the following in the correct order according to the passage.) ① Jane couldn’t understand German very well in class. ② After half a year’s hard work, Jane had no language problems. ③Everything in the college was so fresh. ④Jane enjoyed spending good time with her German friends. A．①②③④ B．③①②④ C．②④③① D．③①④② 29．Which of the following can show the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】26．B 27．A 28．B 29．C 【导语】本文主要解释了为什么人们会有“文化冲击”以及如何应对。 26．细节理解题。根据“It is at this ‘stress’ stage that you may feel worried and homesick. This is the stage which is called ‘culture shock’”可知“压力”阶段可以解释“文化冲击”是如何发生的，故选B。 27．词句猜测题。根据上文“It is important to understand it and learn what to do with it if you want to adapt to your new home’s culture successfully”可知，如果你想成功地适应新家的文化，了解它并学会如何处理它是很重要的，故划线单词表示“适应”，与get used“习惯”意思相近，故选A。 28．细节理解题。根据“The first stage is usually called the ‘excitement’ stage. When arriving in a new environment, you’ll be interested in the new culture”可知，到达一个新的环境时会对新的文化感兴趣，对应③“大学里的一切都是那么新鲜”；根据“The excitement you felt before changes to worries. It seems that everything is difficult”可知，之前的兴奋变成了担心。似乎一切都很困难，对应①“简在课堂上不能很好地理解德语”；根据“If you are one of those who manage to get through it, you’ll move to the ‘recovery’ stage. At this stage, you start to understand and accept the way things are done and the way people behave in your new environment”可知，如果你是那些设法度过难关的人之一，你将进入“恢复”阶段。在这个阶段，你开始理解和接受新环境中做事的方式和人们的行为方式，对应②“经过半年的努力，简没有语言问题了”；根据“The last stage is the ‘home’ stage...You start to learn from your new home and to like some ways of the new culture better”可知，最后一个阶段是“家”阶段。这是你开始在新文化中感到自在的阶段。你开始从你的新家学习，并更喜欢新文化的某些方面，对应④“简喜欢和她的德国朋友共度美好时光”，故选B。 29．篇章结构题。根据短文内容可知，第一段解释“文化冲击”现象，提出问题；第二至五段介绍“文化冲击”的四个阶段；第六段总结全文。可知C项结构正确，故选C。 B In some parts of the world, it’s easy for kids to go to school, but in other places, there are many problems that make it hard for kids to get a good education (教育). Children around the world get their education in different ways. During rainy seasons, Bangladesh often has many floods (洪水). Then many schools have to close and students can’t go to school. Luckily, there is a group named Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha to help. It began to run boat schools in 2002, and more than 70,000 children have got their education on boats. The group has around 100 boats and each one has a small library and a computer. Each year more than 4,000 of India’s poorest children get their education on the platforms (站台) of the country’s train stations. The idea for the Train Platform School came from a teacher called Inderjit Khurana. She took the train to work each morning, and she often saw some children begging (乞讨) on the train. Then she decided to do something for them. In 1985, she set up the first Train Platform School and later more came out. The schools use music and drama (戏剧) to teach the children how to read and write. When the children are ready, they can transfer to a full-time school. There, they will go on with further education. You won’t find any books at the West Philadelphia School of the Future in the US. Instead, all students have their own computers and learn on special apps. Teachers don’t use traditional (传统的) whiteboards—they use Smart Boards. When the school opened in 2006, both the teachers and the students found it difficult. However, these days students love it and they do well in maths and reading. The school is very popular with parents. 30．When describing the group Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha, the writer ________. A．tells a story B．gives some facts C．uses some examples D．talks about his   experience 31．What does the underlined phrase “transfer to” mean in Chinese? A．放弃 B．参观 C．开办 D．转到 32．Which sentence is true according to the passage? A．In boat schools, each student has a small library and a computer. B．In the Train Platform Schools, children can go on to further education by learning drama. C．Inderjit Khurana set up the first Train Platform School in 1985, D．The West Philadelphia School of the Future was popular when it first opened. 33．What is the passage mainly about? A．Different ways of teaching. B．The importance of education. C．The use of computers in teaching. D．Some special schools in the world. 【答案】30．B 31．D 32．C 33．D 【导语】本文介绍了世界各地的儿童以不同的方式接受教育。 30．推理判断题。根据第二段“It began to run boat schools in 2002, and more than 70,000 children have got their education on boats. The group has around 100 boats and each one has a small library and a computer.”可知，此处是说了一些事实。故选B。 31．词句猜测题。根据“The schools use music and drama to teachthe children how to read and write.”和“There, they will go on with further education.”可知，孩子们是去了一个新的环境，“transfer”是动词，意为“转移，改变”，“transfer to”意为“转移到，转学”。故选D。 32．细节理解题。根据第三段“...a teacher called Inderjit Khurana...In 1985, she set up the first Train Platform School and later more came out.”可知，所以C选项“Inderjit Khurana于1985年建立了第一所火车站台学校。”正确。故选C。 33．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Children around the world get their education in different ways.”文意以及全文可知，本文说的是世界上三个地方的学校，因此D选项“世界上一些特别的学校。”符合题意。故选D。 C China has long been known as a nation of rites (礼仪之邦). Chinese people behave politely on any formal occasion, whether it is a wedding ceremony, a celebration party, or a banquet (宴席). The following basic Chinese table manners will help you generally master Chinese dinner manners. One clear difference between Western and Eastern dining habits is portion (一份) size. While meals in Western restaurants are sized for individuals (个人), dishes offered in Chinese restaurants are meant to be shared. As such, food either comes in bite-sized pieces, or is prepared in a way that makes it easy to portion (分配) while being served to you on large plates. As meals are shared, one may care about the degree of sanitation (卫生). It’s common to find communal chopsticks (公筷) placed with each dish. It is good manners to use the communal utensils in a public setting. You may also notice that tables, especially those in larger dining rooms, are round and have a lazy Susan (more commonly known as “that rotating (旋转的) table on top of your table”). Besides efficiency (效率) purposes, circular tables stand for important meaning in Chinese culture. It means unity (团结) and presents dining as an event where family members get together. Before you spin the turntable to get to that delicious piece of duck, make sure that no one else is reaching for food! It’s impolite to spin the table just as someone is trying to pick up some food. As mentioned above, Chinese restaurants often use round tables. In Western cultures, the host or the eldest family member often sits at the head of a long table. But what happens when the table is round? As a round table, the seat of honor (首位) is the one facing the door. The closer you are sitting next to that seat, the more important you are. In a setting where there is no doorway—outdoor dining, for example—the seat of honor would be the one facing east. In a banquet environment, the table of honor is usually the one sitting farthest away from the door. The time at which the dining begins depends on the presence of party members. The suitable time to dig in is after the guest of honor, or the eldest member of the group, is seated and has begun their meal. Sometimes they will mean the start of a meal, by saying “吃吧” which means “Please eat”. 34．What should we do if we have meals in a public setting? A．Bring your own chopsticks from home. B．Use communal chopsticks to get food. C．Use your own chopsticks to share food. D．Share the food with others’ chopsticks. 35．What does the underlined word “spin” in the passage mean? A．turn something around B．pull something nearer C．pick something up D．move something away 36．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．Why the table is round? B．How can you find a seat? C．Which is the honor seat? D．Who is the most important? 37．How does the writer organize the article? A．In time order. B．From specific to general. C．In space order. D．From general to specific. 【答案】34．B 35．A 36．A 37．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国的餐桌礼仪。 34．细节理解题。根据第3段“As meals are shared, one may care about the degree of sanitation (卫生). It’s common to find communal chopsticks (公筷) placed with each dish. It is good manners to use the communal utensils in a public setting.”可知，如果我们在公共场所用餐，我们该用公用筷子取食物，故选B。 35．词义猜测题。根据带下划线的单词所在句子“It’s impolite to spin the table just as someone is trying to pick up some food.”可知，文章中带下划线的单词“spin”意思是“转动某物”，故选A。 36．主旨大意题。根据“Besides efficiency (效率) purposes, circular tables stand for important meaning in Chinese culture. It means unity (团结) and presents dining as an event where family members get together.”可知，第4段的主要思想是“为什么桌子是圆的”，故选A。 37．推理判断题。通读全文可知，这篇短文主要介绍了中国的餐桌礼仪。中国人在正式场合下举止得体，无论是婚礼、庆祝派对还是宴会。中国餐桌礼仪的基本规则包括共享餐食、使用公共餐具、注意卫生和尊重座位次序。作者是从一般到具体组织文章的，故选D。 D I LOVE CHINESE David Brown is a 15-year-old boy from the UK.

The next two weeks should be a good e 50 for me. 【答案】46．(c)ulture 47．(e)xchange 48．(i)ntroduce 49．(t)ravel 50．(e)xperience 【导语】本文讲述了作者即将参加一个在德国的教育项目，计划在三周内学习德国文化和练习德语。 46．句意：在这两周里，我希望了解德国文化并练习我的德语。根据“learn about German...and practise my German”可知，了解的是德国文化，应用名词culture。故填(c)ulture。 47．句意：我将成为当地一所著名学校的交换学生。根据上文“I am going to go on an educational programme in Germany.”可知，作者是一名交换生。exchange“交换”符合语境。故填(e)xchange。 48．句意：他们会向我介绍许多新事物。根据“me to many new things”和首字母可知，是指介绍新事物。introduce表示“介绍”，will后跟动词原形。故填(i)ntroduce。 49．句意：我还计划在首都周围旅行。根据“around the capital.”和首字母可知，此处表示旅行。travel“旅行”，空前有动词不定式符号to，动词用原形。故填(t)ravel。 50．句意：接下来的两周对我来说应该是一次很好的经历。根据“The next two weeks should be a good”和首字母可知，在德国的两周对于作者来说将是一次很好的经历。experience表示“经历”，可数名词，a后跟单数名词。故填(e)xperience。 六、完成句子 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 51．他的父亲经常向他介绍中国文化。 His father often Chinese culture him. 【答案】 introduces to 【详解】根据题干可知，缺少表达“介绍”introduce。根据often可知，时态为一般现在时，主语是第三人称单数his father，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，向某人介绍某物短语为introduce sth to sb。故填introduces；to。 52．起初我认为英语很难学。 I thought it was difficult to learn English. 【答案】At first 【详解】根据句意可知，“起初”的英文短语是at first。故填At first。 53．到目前为止，我们学了超过一千个新单词。 , we more than one thousand new words. 【答案】 So far have learned 【详解】由汉语和所给的英语翻译可知，so far意为“到目前为止”；learn意为“学习”；由so far可知，此题的时态为现在完成时，其结构是：助动词have/has+动词的过去分词。此题的主语是we，因此助动词用have。句子开头，首字母大写。故填So；far；have；learned。 54．这是一次多么有教育意义的经历啊！ experience it is! 【答案】 What an educational 【详解】根据题干可知，本句是感叹句，experience是可数名词单数，所以其句型结构为“What +a/an+形容词+可数名单数+主语+谓语”。表达“有教育意义的”用形容词educational，首字母发元音音素，所以不定冠词用an，故填What；an；educational。 55．李娟在伦敦和寄宿家庭居住在一起。 Li Juan is living with a in London. 【答案】 host family 【详解】根据中英文对照，可知缺“寄宿家庭”，在英文中表达为“host family”，结合空前是“a”可知是缺单数，故填host；family。 七、书面表达（15分） 56．假如你是李华，你的笔友Paul对教育交流很感兴趣，想向你了解去年你在英国教育交流的经历。请你给他写一封回信，分享你的经历，并邀请他来参加下周一下午2:00到3:30在你学校礼堂关于教育交流经历的分享会。 要点： 1.你对此次交流经历的总体感受； 2.具体介绍自己的交流经历寄宿家庭； 3.邀请他来听讲座。 要求： 1.80字左右，开头已给出，不计入总词数内； 2.文中不得出现真实姓名和校名； 3.可适当增加细节，以使条理清楚、行文连贯； 4.标点正确，书面整洁。 Dear Paul, Knowing that you are interested in educational exchanges, I’m writing to tell you something about my exchange visit in Britain last year. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】例文 Dear Paul, Knowing that you are interested in educational exchanges, I’m writing to tell you something about my exchange visit in Britain last year.

This feeling is often called “culture shock (冲击). It is important to understand it and learn what to do with it if you want to adapt to your new home’s culture successfully. Generally speaking, there are four stages (阶段) that you will experience after you move to a foreign country. The first stage is usually called the “excitement” stage. When arriving in a new environment, you’ll be interested in the new culture. Everything will seem exciting and everyone will seem friendly. But it won’t be long before you move from the “excitement” stage to the second stage. The excitement you felt before changes to worries. It seems that everything is difficult. The language is hard to learn, friends are difficult to make, and even simple things like shopping have become a difficult problem. It is at this “stress” stage that you may feel worried and homesick. This is the stage which is called “culture shock”. However, culture shock doesn’t last for very long. If you are one of those who manage to get through it, you’ll move to the “recovery” stage. At this stage, you start to understand and accept the way things are done and the way people behave in your new environment. The last stage is the “home” stage. This is the stage when you start to feel at home in the new culture. You start to learn from your new home and to like some ways of the new culture better. Culture shock is common. Everyone in a new situation will go through it. Continue to be brave! And getting through culture shock will be a piece of cake. 26．Among the four stages, which stage can explain how “culture shock” happen? A．The recovery stage. B．The stress stage. C．The excitement stage. D．The home stage. 27．What does the underlined word “adapt” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．get used B．grow up C．live up D．look forward 28．Jane went to study in Germany for the first time. What might she have gone through? (Put the following in the correct order according to the passage.) ① Jane couldn’t understand German very well in class. ② After half a year’s hard work, Jane had no language problems. ③Everything in the college was so fresh. ④Jane enjoyed spending good time with her German friends. A．①②③④ B．③①②④ C．②④③① D．③①④② 29．Which of the following can show the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． B In some parts of the world, it’s easy for kids to go to school, but in other places, there are many problems that make it hard for kids to get a good education (教育). Children around the world get their education in different ways. During rainy seasons, Bangladesh often has many floods (洪水). Then many schools have to close and students can’t go to school. Luckily, there is a group named Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha to help. It began to run boat schools in 2002, and more than 70,000 children have got their education on boats. The group has around 100 boats and each one has a small library and a computer. Each year more than 4,000 of India’s poorest children get their education on the platforms (站台) of the country’s train stations. The idea for the Train Platform School came from a teacher called Inderjit Khurana. She took the train to work each morning, and she often saw some children begging (乞讨) on the train. Then she decided to do something for them. In 1985, she set up the first Train Platform School and later more came out. The schools use music and drama (戏剧) to teach the children how to read and write. When the children are ready, they can transfer to a full-time school. There, they will go on with further education. You won’t find any books at the West Philadelphia School of the Future in the US. Instead, all students have their own computers and learn on special apps. Teachers don’t use traditional (传统的) whiteboards—they use Smart Boards. When the school opened in 2006, both the teachers and the students found it difficult. However, these days students love it and they do well in maths and reading. The school is very popular with parents. 30．When describing the group Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha, the writer ________. A．tells a story B．gives some facts C．uses some examples D．talks about his   experience 31．What does the underlined phrase “transfer to” mean in Chinese? A．放弃 B．参观 C．开办 D．转到 32．Which sentence is true according to the passage? A．In boat schools, each student has a small library and a computer. B．In the Train Platform Schools, children can go on to further education by learning drama. C．Inderjit Khurana set up the first Train Platform School in 1985, D．The West Philadelphia School of the Future was popular when it first opened. 33．What is the passage mainly about? A．Different ways of teaching. B．The importance of education. C．The use of computers in teaching. D．Some special schools in the world. C China has long been known as a nation of rites (礼仪之邦). Chinese people behave politely on any formal occasion, whether it is a wedding ceremony, a celebration party, or a banquet (宴席). The following basic Chinese table manners will help you generally master Chinese dinner manners. One clear difference between Western and Eastern dining habits is portion (一份) size. While meals in Western restaurants are sized for individuals (个人), dishes offered in Chinese restaurants are meant to be shared. As such, food either comes in bite-sized pieces, or is prepared in a way that makes it easy to portion (分配) while being served to you on large plates. As meals are shared, one may care about the degree of sanitation (卫生). It’s common to find communal chopsticks (公筷) placed with each dish. It is good manners to use the communal utensils in a public setting. You may also notice that tables, especially those in larger dining rooms, are round and have a lazy Susan (more commonly known as “that rotating (旋转的) table on top of your table”). Besides efficiency (效率) purposes, circular tables stand for important meaning in Chinese culture. It means unity (团结) and presents dining as an event where family members get together. Before you spin the turntable to get to that delicious piece of duck, make sure that no one else is reaching for food! It’s impolite to spin the table just as someone is trying to pick up some food. As mentioned above, Chinese restaurants often use round tables. In Western cultures, the host or the eldest family member often sits at the head of a long table. But what happens when the table is round? As a round table, the seat of honor (首位) is the one facing the door. The closer you are sitting next to that seat, the more important you are. In a setting where there is no doorway—outdoor dining, for example—the seat of honor would be the one facing east. In a banquet environment, the table of honor is usually the one sitting farthest away from the door. The time at which the dining begins depends on the presence of party members. The suitable time to dig in is after the guest of honor, or the eldest member of the group, is seated and has begun their meal. Sometimes they will mean the start of a meal, by saying “吃吧” which means “Please eat”. 34．What should we do if we have meals in a public setting? A．Bring your own chopsticks from home. B．Use communal chopsticks to get food. C．Use your own chopsticks to share food. D．Share the food with others’ chopsticks. 35．What does the underlined word “spin” in the passage mean? A．turn something around B．pull something nearer C．pick something up D．move something away 36．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．Why the table is round? B．How can you find a seat? C．Which is the honor seat? D．Who is the most important? 37．How does the writer organize the article? A．In time order. B．From specific to general. C．In space order. D．From general to specific. D I LOVE CHINESE David Brown is a 15-year-old boy from the UK. This summer he is studying Chinese in a summer camp in Gansu Province. This is what he told our interviewer.
