When I was in middle school, I decided to make a cultural exchange in Munich, Germany during my first year studying German. The exchange included spending ten days at the home of the assigned (指定的) family to experience how German kids live and what they do and to observe the similarities and differences between that culture and the Italian culture. As soon as we landed, we were greeted by the boys and girls who had been assigned to us. I was assigned to Alana, a typical German girl. When we were on the bus, we listened to some music and sang out loud, which are usually done during school trips by Italian kids. Being watched by all the German kids, we realized our behavior led to an abnormal climate for them. What I feared most was that I had to face another culture all by myself.Once we arrived home, we introduced ourselves. At lunchtime, we decided to go to a restaurant in the area. Before entering the restaurant, Alana's father, Max, opened the door first for himself, and then he let us in. The first thing I thought was how rude it was, and then I knew that German males go in rooms first to make sure the place is safe, then let the women in. After dinner, we saw a soccer match between German teams, and for the first time I realized how soccer is a very popular sport, just like in Italy. Totally different from the Italian culture, at 10: 00 p．m. we were already in bed. This was my first time going to bed at that time. I rolled over in bed and couldn't get to sleep quickly. This exchange made me realize the differences between cultures and how culture shock, which is only a concept students study at school, works, but especially I learned that what seems normal to me can be something very improper in another country, even if that country is just a few miles away. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者参加文化交流活动的一次经历及其感悟。 2 3 1 4 1．What can we know about the cultural exchange the author took part in? A．It combined German culture with Italian culture. B．It helped her learn about German kids' lifestyle. C.Its aim was to teach Italian students standard German. D．Its focus was on students with multi-culture backgrounds. 答案：B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The exchange included spending ten days at the home of the assigned family to experience how German kids live and what they do and to observe the similarities and differences between that culture and the Italian culture.”可知，作者参加的文化交流活动帮助她了解了德国孩子的生活方式。故选B。 2 3 1 4 2．What may the German kids think about singing out loud on the bus? A．Understandable.　　　　 B．Exciting. C．Unwelcome. D．Funny. 答案：C 2 3 1 4 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Being watched by all the German kids, we realized our behavior led to an abnormal climate for them.(在所有德国孩子的注视下，我们意识到我们的行为给他们带来了一种异常的氛围)”可推知，德国的孩子们认为在公交车上大声唱歌不受欢迎。故选C。 2 3 1 4 3．Why do German males go in rooms first according to the text? A．To stress their leadership position in the family. B．To protect the family from possible danger. C．To order food for the family in advance. D．To show respect for guests. 答案：B 2 3 1 4 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“The first thing I thought was how rude it was, and then I knew that German males go in rooms first to make sure the place is safe, then let the women in.”可知，德国男性先进房间是为了保护家人免受可能的危险。故选B。 2 3 1 4 4．What does the author draw from her experience? A．Culture shock can be difficult to deal with. B．Students should develop their adaptive ability. C．Studying abroad can be beneficial in many ways. D.Culture shock can be a common and normal phenomenon. 答案：D 2 3 1 4 细节理解题。根据最后一段的内容可知，作者从她的经历中得出的结论是文化冲击可以是一种普遍而正常的现象。故选D。 2 3 1 4 B Many international students studying abroad in America have several supposed ideas about American culture. After visiting the country, many international students showed the culture shock they received in America. Here are some culture shocks in America that most of the international students came across. It's surprising to note that kids, the youth and adults refer to each other with their first names. This is a very uncommon sight. Many international students might find it surprising and take time to adjust to this tradition. Another culture shock is that, in America, there could be only one or two classes a day. Usually, they're conducted in the afternoon or in the evening. This means the students get enough time to sleep late, wake up around noon and have time for different chores (琐事). Besides, having convenience in the schedule of classes, students also enjoy long hours of breaks. Among the many culture shocks in America, multiple languages are quite common there. Many international students would move to America, believing that the only language is English. However, that's not the case. The citizens commonly speak languages such as Spanish, French, German, Chinese and others, so if you're comfortable with any of the above-mentioned languages, you might get surprises. Many international students are used to using kilograms, metres, litres, degrees centigrade as the units of weight, length, volume, temperature. But they might be confused to see a different metric system in America. There, pounds, feet and Fahrenheit are usually used as units for measurements. This system is quite puzzling to comprehend at the beginning for many international students. Many international students might find various culture shocks in America depending on the background they come from. Thus, they may need a long time to adjust themselves to the unfamiliar environment. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是大多数国际学生在美国遇到的一些文化冲击。 5．What may make international students surprised at school? A．Adults are often referred to with their titles. B．The number of classes is fewer than expected. C．Kids refer to adults with their family names. D．Students can freely do different chores in class. 答案：B 6 7 5 8 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Another culture shock is that, in America, there could be only one or two classes a day. Usually, they're conducted in the afternoon or in the evening.”可知，在美国的学校，一天只有一到两节课，由此可知，美国学校的课程数量比预计的要少。故选B项。 6 7 5 8 6．Why do international students care little about language barriers in America? A．English there is easy to understand. B．All of them can speak English fluently. C．There are several other official languages. D．They may be able to use their native languages there. 答案：D 6 7 5 8 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“However, that's not the case. The citizens commonly speak languages such as Spanish, French, German, Chinese and others，so if you're comfortable with any of the above-mentioned languages, you might get surprises.”可知，美国的居民通常会说西班牙语、法语、德语、汉语和其他语言，由此可知，外国留学生如果对以上语言熟悉的话，就可以使用自己的母语与他们进行交流，因此不太在意语言障碍。故选D项。 6 7 5 8 7．What does the underlined word “they” refer to in paragraph 5? A．Systems. B．Units. C．International students. D．Americans. 答案：C 6 7 5 8 代词指代题。根据第五段中的“Many international students are used to using kilograms, metres, litres, degrees centigrade as the units of weight, length, volume, temperature.”可知，画线词所在段落讲的是计量单位不同对国际学生产生的文化冲击，they指代的是international students。故选C项。 6 7 5 8 8．What is the best title for the text? A．Multicultural Experiences Are Waiting for You B．International Students Are Welcome to America C．Culture Shocks International Students May Experience in America D．Reasons Why There Are a Large Number of Culture Shocks in America 答案：C 6 7 5 8 标题归纳题。综合分析文章尤其根据第一段中的“Here are some culture shocks in America that most of the international students came across.”可知，本文主要讲述的是国际学生在美国可能经历的文化冲击，所以C项能概括文章大意，适合作文章的标题。故选C项。 6 7 5 8 Ⅴ.阅读七选五 [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了一位让作者印象深刻的老师。 1 2 3 4 Throughout my life, there is one teacher who really impresses me. 1 5 1 2 3 4 A．The following is a class she taught us. B．She made me realize how interesting learning can be. C．She often made us struggle for what we dreamed of in life. D．I remember how much fun it was to do activity in her class. E．She would wake me up when I sometimes slept in her class. F．She would make jokes that would relate to the lesson and please us. G．I'm just waiting for the next teacher who can affect my life and me. 答案：B 5 根据上文“Throughout my life, there is one teacher who really impresses me.”可知，空处解释了这位老师是如何令作者印象深刻的。故选B。 1 2 3 4 5 My time in 8th grade felt like forever because you just want to be in high school already. Math you just wanted to sleep, science you wanted to cry, social studies you would wish for it to be over, but English class would just make up for the whole day. Mrs. Thomas would actually make me want to stay awake in her class. It was like she actually understood us and knew how to keep our full attention.
