Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2024·江苏苏州高二下阶段练习)While I was working at a French school, I was often preparing my work in the staff room. Sometimes I would hear the school secretary talking. At first I thought she was talking to me, as there was no one else in the room except me, so I tried to respond to her. However, I soon realized that in fact, she was talking to herself. I noticed a lot of people do this in France. In the UK, people might think you're a bit strange if you talk to yourself at work, but there it seemed quite normal. It really did confuse me at times, because I was not sure whether people were talking to me or just talking to themselves. Another area of confusion involved the French language. In French, there are two ways to say “you”： “tu” is the informal form while “vous” is the formal form. This is an aspect of French which, even now, I do not really understand. When I learnt French, I was taught to call everyone vous unless they were my family or friends. So I was surprised that virtually everyone in France used the informal tu all the time. School children used tu when they stayed with their teachers and all the staff called the head teacher tu. But I continued to use vous because I didn't want people to think I was impolite. As you might know, school children in the UK traditionally wear school uniforms but in France pupils do not wear a uniform. It was a culture shock for me to see children wear Spiderman T­shirts and baggy (宽松的) blue jeans in the classroom. I found the differences puzzling at times, but I couldn't deny what a great opportunity it was to live and work in another country. The UK and France are only separated by a small channel of the sea, but there are many differences between the two countries. 1.In the staff room, the school secretary ________. A.always chatted online B.interrupted the writer C.talked to herself often D.always made speeches 2.Why did the author always use “vous” when talking to others? A.She tried to be polite to others. B.She couldn't tell tu from vous at all. C.She didn't have close friends in France. D.She couldn't understand French very well. 3.How did the author feel seeing French kids wear Spiderman T­shirts at school? A.Pleased. B.Embarrassed. C.Frightened. D.Surprised. 4.What made the author feel happy to live in France? A.Experiencing different cultures. B.Communicating in an informal way. C.Traveling along the channel of the sea. D.Having a chance to work with French teachers. [二次精读] 重点单词 confusion /kən'fjuːʒn/ n.　　困惑 baggy /'bæɡi/ adj. 宽松的 deny /dɪ'naɪ/ v. 否认 separate /'seprət/ v.

But Bradley does have lots to say now about his special experience at a resort in the picturesque tropical coastal city of Sanya in South China's Hainan province. The 33­year­old Australian is actually a student in international relations completing his PhD through Griffith University. He came to Beijing for a cooperative research at Peking University less than two years ago. Such an academic life was just added color with a chance offered by the cultural exchanges project, “I'm in China”. “What I liked most about the experience was it was something completely different that you would never be able to do as a regular tourist，” Bradley said in an interview. Bradley was chosen to work as a recreational manager for a Chinese wedding. The film crew took them to many “amazing sites” and the staff at the resort taught them a lot about how to “incorporate modern Chinese features while still keeping traditional customs”， Bradley said. “I would have to say two things stick out as the most memorable: the helicopter ride and talking with the staff at the hotel about how to organize weddings here in China，” he said. That was Bradley's first time to be in a helicopter, and he was too absorbed with the “stunning” view of the beautiful coastline. “I think it is so important to show other Australians the different landscapes China has to offer. I think so many Australians, when they think about China, imagine the historical sites of Beijing and the exciting things to see in Shanghai but have no idea about other beautiful places, like Sanya or the many other places people have been taken to in this TV series，” Bradley said. “I'm in China” is a project sponsored by China Intercontinental Communication Centre and other institutions under the guidance of China's State Council Information Office. It invites foreign natives worldwide to experience unique jobs and participate in activities that one can find nowhere else except in China. More than 10，000 photos and articles were submitted from around the globe by over 6，000 applicants. 5.What does Bradley actually do? A.He's an Australian PhD student. B.He's a regular Australian tourist. C.He's a professional recreational manager. D.He's an Australian diplomat. 6.What does the underlined word “incorporate” in paragraph 4 mean? A.Get rid of. B.Turn down. C.Take in. D.Keep off. 7.What impressed Bradley most? A.The beautiful scenery of Sanya and special activities. B.Flying in a helicopter and organizing Chinese wedding. C.The historical sites of Beijing and the exciting things in Shanghai. D.Chinese traditional customs and many amazing sites. 8.From the last paragraph, we can infer that the project “I'm in China” is ________. A.unique but unattractive to foreigners B.special but helpless to know about China C.uninteresting and rejected by foreigners D.unique and popular with foreigners [二次精读] 重点单词 diplomacy /dɪ'pləʊməsi/ n.　 　　　外交活动 picturesque /ˌpɪktʃə'resk/ adj. 风景如画的 stunning /'stʌnɪ/ adj. 极好的，极吸引人的 landscape /'lændskeɪp/ n.

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. 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 above­mentioned 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_perplexed 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. 9.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. 10.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. 11.What does the underlined word “perplexed” mean in paragraph 5? A.Interested. B.Frightened. C.Confused. D.Excited. 12.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 [二次精读] 重点单词 chore /tʃɔː(r)/ n.　琐事 convenience /kən'viːniəns/ n. 方便，便利 multiple /'mʌltɪp(ə)l/ adj. 多个的，多种的 comprehend /ˌkɒmprɪ'hend/ v. 理解，领悟 重点短语 refer to　提及；涉及；查阅 adjust to 调整以适应 depend on 依赖于 语块积累 supposed ideas　所谓的想法 sleep late 睡懒觉 the units of weight 重量的单位 长难句分析 Here are some culture shocks in America that most of the international students came across. 以下是大多数国际学生在美国遇到的一些文化冲击。 【分析】　这是一个主从复合句。主句Here are some culture shocks in America是here放于句首，主语为名词构成的完全倒装结构，that 引导定语从句，修饰先行词some culture shocks。 Ⅱ.完形填空 (2024·江苏常州高二下期中)I recently attended a wedding in Canada, in the countryside.

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，在美国的课节数比预计的要少。故选B。 10.D　推理判断题。根据第四段“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 above­mentioned 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。 11.C　词义猜测题。根据第五段“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产生的文化冲击。根据画线后的句子“This system is quite puzzling to comprehend at the beginning for many international students.”可知，这个体系对于许多外国留学生来说理解起来还是很令人困惑的，结合画线单词后的“to see a different metric system in America.(在美国看到不同的公制系统。)”是作状语修饰画线单词，表示他们看到这一公制系统后感觉“困惑”符合语境，由此可知，该画线单词的意思与“困惑”意思相近。故选C。 12.C　主旨大意题。根据首段“Here are some culture shocks in America that most of the international students came across.”结合下文中分别从称呼、上课及休息时长、所使用的语言、计量单位等方面展开遇到具体的文化冲击的介绍可知，本文主要讲述的是国际学生在美国可能经历的文化冲击，所以题目为“国际学生在美国可能经历的文化冲击”符合文章的主题。故选C。 Ⅱ.完形填空 [语篇解读]　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要介绍了作者在参加婚礼后乘坐出租车时遇到的小费困扰及由此引发的对于全球不同国家的小费习俗的思考。 1.B　考查副词词义辨析。句意：当出租车司机在午夜把我送回时，我一路上都在暗自担心给小费的事，因为我不富裕。A.superbly极好地；B.secretly秘密地；C.curiously好奇地；D.primitively原始地。根据“since I was not rich”以及“searched nervously in my purse”可知，作者是暗自担心小费的事。故选B。 2.C　考查动词词义辨析。句意：我紧张地在钱包里翻找，意识到我只有一张用以应急的100美元钞票和两块婚礼上的巧克力。A.selected选择；B.blessed祝福；C.realized意识到；D.suspected怀疑。根据“that all I had was a $100 note”和“and two chocolates from the wedding”可知，作者是意识到自己只有这些。故选C。 3.D　考查名词词义辨析。句意同上。A.tip小费；B.pursuit追求；C.award奖赏；D.emergency紧急情况。根据“which I was keeping for”以及“But I had to tip him, so I was __4__ between a rock and a hard place.”可推测，作者是把这100美元留作应急用的。故选D。 4.A　考查动词词义辨析。句意：我不得不给他小费，所以我进退两难。A.stuck卡住；B.submitted提交；C.buried埋葬；D.banned禁止。根据“between a rock and a hard place”可知，作者在这种情况下进退两难。故选A。 5.C　考查名词词义辨析。我最后递给他那张钞票，强忍住不要求找零的冲动。A.charge收费；B.permission许可；C.change零钱；D.privilege特权。根据前文作者左右为难的心境以及“I handed in the note at last”和“controlling the urge to ask”可知，作者给了一张100美元的钞票，强忍住不要求找零。故选C。 6.D　考查形容词词义辨析。句意：小费一直是全世界尴尬互动的来源。A.common常见的；B.enjoyable愉快的；C.civil文明的；D.embarrassing尴尬的。根据后文“high­tipping Americans might anger people in Tokyo”以及“Such an embarrassing mess”可知，小费问题常常带来尴尬的互动。故选D。 7.A　考查动词词义辨析。句意：小费习俗因国家而异，这会造成不少困惑。A.vary变化；B.spread传播；C.work工作；D.grow增长。根据“wildly from country to country”以及“there's no standard to any of this”可知，不同国家的小费习俗有所不同。故选A。 8.B　考查名词词义辨析。句意同上。A.panic恐慌；B.confusion困惑；C.bond联系；D.mercy仁慈。根据下文对在拉斯维加斯的挪威人以及在日本的美国人给小费的例子可知，不同国家不同的小费习俗会给人带来困惑。故选B。 9.D　考查动词词义辨析。句意：来自高工资低小费文化的挪威人，可能会用他们微薄的小费惹恼拉斯维加斯的人。A.ignore忽视；B.embrace拥抱；C.rejoice高兴；D.annoy惹恼。根据“Norwegians, who come from a culture where salaries are high and tips are low”以及下文“high­tipping Americans”可知，微薄的小费会惹恼习惯高小费的美国人。故选D。 10.C　考查副词词义辨析。句意：同样，高小费的美国人可能会惹恼东京的人，因为在日本，良好的服务是一种荣誉。A.Therefore因此；B.Furthermore此外；C.Likewise同样；D.Otherwise否则。根据前后两个例子的内容可知，二者都是为了说明这种困惑尴尬的情况在各个地方都有发生。故应用“同样”进行衔接。故选C。 11.C　考查名词词义辨析。句意同上。A.bonus奖金；B.choice选择；C.matter事情；D.trick技巧。根据“high­tipping Americans might anger people in Tokyo”以及“good service in Japan is a __11___ of honour”可知，在日本，良好的服务事关荣誉，无关金钱。故选C。 12.D　考查连词词义辨析。句意：因为没有统一的标准，常常会出现这种尴尬的情况。A.even if即使；B.unless除非；C.so that以便；D.because因为。根据“Such an embarrassing mess often occurs”以及“there's no standard to any of this”可知，二者之间存在因果关系，即问题的产生是因为没有统一的小费标准。故选D。 13.C　考查动词词义辨析。句意：2016年康奈尔大学的一项研究表明，人们给超市送货员小费的可能性是给超市员工的两倍。A.quoted引用；B.resigned辞职；C.suggested表明；D.forecast预测。根据主语“A 2016 study”以及“that people are twice as likely to tip a supermarket delivery person”可知，研究表明了这一情况。故选C。 14.B　考查名词词义辨析。句意：没人能解释清楚这种差异的原因。A.assumption假设；B.difference差异；C.principle原则；D.guidance指导。根据“people are twice as likely to tip a supermarket delivery person than a supermarket store worker”可知，这是一种差异现象。故选B。 15.A　考查动词短语辨析。句意：也许，给其中一个人小费而不给另一个人小费只是符合了习惯。A.makes sense有意义；B.takes shape成型；C.weighs on压迫；D.pays off得到回报。根据前文“Nobody can work out the reasons”以及“Perhaps, tipping one and not the other only __15__ in terms of what has become customary.”可知，这种现象只有从民俗的角度才能解释得通。故选A。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
