第一节
Young Protectors
There are various clubs in my school, of which the most popular one is “Young Protectors”. It aims to preserve the excellent traditional Chinese culture.
Set up in 2016, the club has attracted 820 members until now, including me. Not only do we get together once a week to learn about the cultural heritage, but we pay visits to the local cultural relics regularly. Besides, the club gives lectures to let more people know the importance of preserving cultural heritage.
As the organizer put it, “It’s our duty to serve as protectors to keep up and carry forward our protection of the outstanding cultural heritage.”
第二节 (满分25分)
Recognizing my struggle, people around me stepped in to support me. On weekends, Mrs Smith would take me on a trip to many attractions, some even I had only read about in textbooks. Mrs Smith went out of her way to make me feel at home by cooking Chinese dishes. Mike shared his own experiences of studying abroad to comfort me. At school, my teachers were patient and understanding, offering extra help with assignments and encouraging me to join clubs to make new friends. My classmates invited me to see movies, play hockey, and go to concerts. Everyone was warm, open, and never hesitant in offering help.
Gradually, I began to adapt to (适应) the life here. I offered to share Chinese culture with my host family. I joined the school’s debate club, which helped me improve my English and gain confidence in speaking. I also participated in a local volunteer group, where I met people from different backgrounds, each with their own unique stories. These experiences broadened my perspective and helped me feel more connected to my new environment. As the months passed, Bath began to feel like a second home. I developed a close connection with people here that I knew would last a lifetime.

Gahriela worked for a multinational company as a successful project manager in Brazil. Later she was transferred to manage a team in Sweden. She was excited about her new role but soon realized that managing her new team would be a challenge.
Despite their friendliness, Gabriela didn’t feel respected as a leader. Her new staff would question her proposals openly in meetings, and when she gave them instructions on how to carry out a task, they would often go about is in their own way without checking with her. When she announced her decisions on the project, they would continue giving their opinions as if it was still up for discussion.
What Gabriela was experiencing was a culture shock in expectations. Dutch psychologist Geert Hofstede uses the concept of “power distance” to describe how power is distributed (分布) in different cultures. In her previous work environment, Gabriela was used to a high power distance culture where power is respected. In such a culture, leaders make the big decisions and are not often challenged. Her Swedish team, however, were used to working in a low power distance culture where employees often work together with their bosses to find solutions and make decisions. Here, leaders act as coaches who encourage independent thought and expect to be challenged.
When Gabriela became aware of the cultural differences between her and her team, she had an open conversation with them about their feelings about her leadership.
Pleased to be asked for their thoughts, Gabriela’s team openly expressed that they were not used to being told what to do. They enjoyed having more room for initiative and creative freedom. When she told her team exactly what she needed them to do, they felt that she didn’t trust them to do their job well.
With a better understanding of the underlying reasons behind each other’s behaviour, Gabriela was able to make adjustments to her management style. Finally, she effectively motivated her team to achieve their goals.
4.What problem did Gabriela have with her Swedish team at the beginning?
A.Her Swedish staff didn’t understand her instructions.
B.They were always refusing to follow her directions.
C.Her authority was challenged by her Swedish staff.
D.They looked down upon her because she was a female.

A.Independent thinking and mild character. B.Competitive spirit and mild character.
C.Professional spirit and risk-taking behavior. D.Active participation and creative thinking.
6.Which of the following can best describe Gabriela?
A.Bossy and rude. B.Flexible and communicative.
C.King but stubborn. D.Strict but trustworthy.
7.What can we learn from Gabriela’s story?
A.Two heads are better than one. B.When in Rome, do as Romans do.
C.Birds of a feather flock together. D.Don’t judge a book by its cover.

Nearly 13,000 cultural relics have been unearthed from six pits (坑) of the Sanxingdui Ruins site, including many objects and statues never seen before, and they help present a more complete view of the culture of the ancient Shu Kingdom.
The digging work mainly aimed at the sacrificial (献祭的) area of the ruins and six newly discovered pits. From 2020 to 2022, a total area of 1,834 square meters was explored in the sacrificial area, which covered a total area of nearly 13,000 square meters.
The significant discoveries include thousands of cultural relics made of different materials such as bronze, gold and jade and unearthed in six new pits, ruins of architecture, time of building the pits and the proof of exchanges between the ancient Shu Kingdom and the Central Plains in the Shang dynasty. Among the cultural relics newly unearthed, archaeologists found 3,155 comparatively complete relics.
“All cultural relics have significant meanings for archaeological research. If I have to choose one, I want to select the crowned bronze statue with a snake’s body,” said Ran Honglin, director of the Sanxingdui Cultural Relics and Archeology Research Institute. He noted that the relics prove the diversity of Chinese culture and offer another powerful example of Chinese civilization’s unity in diversity, because the bronze statue’s shape melted cultural factors of different areas in China during ancient times.
Researchers used Carbon-14 dating to confirm that nearly 200 samples unearthed in different pits were made from 1131 BC to 1012 BC, so they concluded that in addition to the fifth and sixth pits appearing later, the rest of the pits should have been built in the late Shang dynasty, dating from 3,000 to 3,200 years ago. The discovery has solved an argument over the age of sacrificial pits found in the past three decades.
“The digging and research work is continuing. There will be more discoveries with further work.” Ran said.
8.What is the significance of the newly unearthed relics?
A.They are the first complete relics to be unearthed.
B.They are helpful in protecting the Sanxingdui Ruins site.
C.They prove statues appeared first in the ancient Shu Kingdom.
D.They help better understand the culture of the ancient Shu Kingdom.
9.What makes the crowned bronze statue an example of Chinese civilization’s unity in diversity?
A.Its origin. B.Its form. C.Its material. D.Its meaning.
10.In which aspect did archaeologists disagree about the pits before the exploration?
A.The time of building them.
B.The time of finding them.
C.The way of studying them.
D.The order of numbering them.
11.What is the purpose of this text?
A.To explain the meaning of cultural relics.
B.To remember an archeologist in Sanxingdui.
C.To introduce the new discoveries in Sanxingdui.
D.To recommend Sanxingdui as a tourist destination.
D
Culture shock occurs when people have been suddenly thrown into a new culture. Newcomers maybe anxious because they don’t speak the language. Neither do they know the customs nor understand the people’s behavior in daily life.
Quite often the visitors find that “yes” may not always mean “yes”, that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship, or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes. The foreigners maybe unsure as to when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The idea of culture shock helps explain feelings of puzzlement and confusion.
Language problems do not lead to all the setbacks that people feel. When one has lost everything that was once familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register (注册,登记) for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.
When an individual enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water. Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture. When this happens, visitors may want to refuse everything about the new environment and may glorify and sing their own praises of the positive aspects of their own culture. On the other side, more visitors may sneeze at their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it.
12.What might happen when newcomers enter a new culture?
A.They have difficult yin saying yes or no.
B.They find it annoying to understand the friendship.
C.They refuse to shake hands with strangers.
D.They are puzzled by local customs and habits.
13.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “setbacks” in paragraph 3?
A.discouragements B.achievements C.arguments D.amazement
14.How do the newcomers react in the face of the culture shock according to the last paragraph?
A.They will miss their motherland deeply enough to return to their homeland.
B.They are willing to accept a new culture unconditionally and completely.
C.They try their best to fit into local life and live a positive and upward life.
D.They only contact fellow countrymen with the same experience.
15.What will the next paragraph talk about?
A.What to do to ignore the differences. B.How to live comfortably abroad.
C.How to deal with the culture shock. D.What to do to avoid homesickness.

As you get older, you’ll meet a wider range of people from diverse cultures. 16 . If you haven’t met many people from different backgrounds. Here are some tips for learning more about them and about yourself.
Know your own culture
One of the best ways to understand other people’s cultures is to first consider your own. 17 . Don’t think of your own way of life as the only normal one and everyone else’s to be strange. Otherwise, it’s hard to approach those differences with respect.
18
Maybe you’ve recently met someone from a different culture, or you’re curious about how differently people live. When you meet people from a different culture, ask them about their lives. Also, you can read books, watch movies or listen to radio shows. 19 . The more you learn, the more likely you will get used to greeting cultural differences with curiosity rather than doubt.
Appreciate the differences
Differences between us are what make life so interesting, so just accept the differences between yourself and your friends from different cultures. The best way to respect people from other cultures is to strike a balance between curiosity and appreciation: Ask questions if your friends are open to them. 20 .
A.Pay a visit to your hometown.
B.Learn about a different culture.
C.When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
D.It can be hard to know how to respect their cultures.
E.These will help you get an insider’s view on a different culture.
F.Most of us don’t realize that our customs and beliefs might seem strange to someone else.
G.Also, learn how to just silently observe and appreciate the differences that make us unique.

I have been presented with many chances to experience living in a foreign culture. However, my first encounter took place in an unexpected location — my very own country. At the age of 20, I landed an internship (实习职位) in New York City. It was my first time to 21 outside of my home state of Texas.
With my move north came culture 22 . I grew up in a big city in Texas. But it was no comparison to the tightly 23 New York with their 8 million citizens. I was used to life at a 24 pace: New York moved fast. The saying is true — this city never 25 . I had to adjust.
My first reaction was fear. Fear I would 26 at my new internship in the 54-story office building. Fear of getting lost on the subway. Fear that the locals wouldn’t have 27 for my frequent moments of confusion. My 28 ranged from reasonable to silly. But I 29 my fears and kept trying.
I learned quickly never to 30 a New Yorker always speaks English. New York is home to people of all walks of life, from all corners of the world. At weekends, I would spend hours 31 along Canal Street in Chinatown — the closest I’d ever been to an 32 country.
By the end of my internship, I was a little older, a little wiser and sick of big city life. I 33 the skyscrapers, tourists and the high price I had to pay for a cheeseburger and fries. But I had 34 , too. I was quicker, smarter and more independent. I knew I would miss that feeling of having the world right at my doorstep. But it was good 35 for the life of travel I’d soon begin.

47.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I started my second year of high school, an exciting opportunity came my way: a year-long exchange program in Bath, England. The thought of studying abroad filled me with both excitement and anticipation (期盼). The chance to experience a new culture, improve my English, and make international friends seemed like a dream that comes true.
I managed to apply for a host family, read about rules and how to survive homesickness, and research about Bath on the Internet. With all preparations made, I was on a plane to Bath, my heart racing with a mix of eagerness and nerves.
Upon arrival, the picturesque city with its historic architecture and beautiful streets attracted me. My host family, Mr Smith, Mrs Smith, and their son Mark, welcomed me warmly, which immediately put me at ease. After my settlement at their home, I quickly found comfort in my new surroundings.
Then came my first week at school, which, however, turned out to be a whirlwind (一片忙乱) besides a feeling of freshness. The education system was different from what I was used to in my hometown. Classes were more discussion-based, and I was encouraged to express my opinions, which I wasn’t comfortable with at first. My teachers and classmates were friendly and curious about my background, often asking questions about my life in China. However, I struggled to keep up with the fast-paced (快节奏的) conversations. The British accent, with its unique slang (俚语), often made it hard for me to understand. There were moments in class when I felt lost, unable to fully understand the discussions or contribute meaningfully. This was frustrating (令人沮丧的), as I had always been a top student back home.
Along with the new experience at school, homesickness began to set in. I missed my family, friends, and the familiar rhythm of life back in China. The cultural differences, from food to social rules, made me hard to get used to at times. I found myself longing for a taste of my home, both physically and mentally.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Recognizing my struggle, people around me stepped in to support me.

Culture shock occurs when people have been suddenly thrown into a new culture. Newcomers maybe anxious because they don’t speak the language. Neither do they know the customs nor understand the people’s behavior in daily life.
Quite often the visitors find that “yes” may not always mean “yes”, that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship, or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes. The foreigners maybe unsure as to when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The idea of culture shock helps explain feelings of puzzlement and confusion.
Language problems do not lead to all the setbacks that people feel. When one has lost everything that was once familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register (注册,登记) for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.
When an individual enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water. Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture. When this happens, visitors may want to refuse everything about the new environment and may glorify and sing their own praises of the positive aspects of their own culture. On the other side, more visitors may sneeze at their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it.
12.What might happen when newcomers enter a new culture?
A.They have difficult yin saying yes or no.
B.They find it annoying to understand the friendship.
C.They refuse to shake hands with strangers.
D.They are puzzled by local customs and habits.
13.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “setbacks” in paragraph 3?
A.discouragements B.achievements C.arguments D.amazement
14.How do the newcomers react in the face of the culture shock according to the last paragraph?
A.They will miss their motherland deeply enough to return to their homeland.
B.They are willing to accept a new culture unconditionally and completely.
C.They try their best to fit into local life and live a positive and upward life.
D.They only contact fellow countrymen with the same experience.
15.What will the next paragraph talk about?
A.What to do to ignore the differences. B.How to live comfortably abroad.
C.How to deal with the culture shock. D.What to do to avoid homesickness.

As you get older, you’ll meet a wider range of people from diverse cultures. 16 . If you haven’t met many people from different backgrounds. Here are some tips for learning more about them and about yourself.
Know your own culture
One of the best ways to understand other people’s cultures is to first consider your own. 17 . Don’t think of your own way of life as the only normal one and everyone else’s to be strange. Otherwise, it’s hard to approach those differences with respect.
18
Maybe you’ve recently met someone from a different culture, or you’re curious about how differently people live. When you meet people from a different culture, ask them about their lives. Also, you can read books, watch movies or listen to radio shows. 19 . The more you learn, the more likely you will get used to greeting cultural differences with curiosity rather than doubt.
Appreciate the differences
Differences between us are what make life so interesting, so just accept the differences between yourself and your friends from different cultures. The best way to respect people from other cultures is to strike a balance between curiosity and appreciation: Ask questions if your friends are open to them. 20 .

I have been presented with many chances to experience living in a foreign culture. However, my first encounter took place in an unexpected location — my very own country. At the age of 20, I landed an internship (实习职位) in New York City. It was my first time to 21 outside of my home state of Texas.
With my move north came culture 22 . I grew up in a big city in Texas. But it was no comparison to the tightly 23 New York with their 8 million citizens. I was used to life at a 24 pace: New York moved fast. The saying is true — this city never 25 . I had to adjust.
My first reaction was fear. Fear I would 26 at my new internship in the 54-story office building. Fear of getting lost on the subway. Fear that the locals wouldn’t have 27 for my frequent moments of confusion. My 28 ranged from reasonable to silly. But I 29 my fears and kept trying.
I learned quickly never to 30 a New Yorker always speaks English. New York is home to people of all walks of life, from all corners of the world. At weekends, I would spend hours 31 along Canal Street in Chinatown — the closest I’d ever been to an 32 country.
By the end of my internship, I was a little older, a little wiser and sick of big city life. I 33 the skyscrapers, tourists and the high price I had to pay for a cheeseburger and fries. But I had 34 , too. I was quicker, smarter and more independent. I knew I would miss that feeling of having the world right at my doorstep. But it was good 35 for the life of travel I’d soon begin.

47.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I started my second year of high school, an exciting opportunity came my way: a year-long exchange program in Bath, England. The thought of studying abroad filled me with both excitement and anticipation (期盼). The chance to experience a new culture, improve my English, and make international friends seemed like a dream that comes true.
I managed to apply for a host family, read about rules and how to survive homesickness, and research about Bath on the Internet. With all preparations made, I was on a plane to Bath, my heart racing with a mix of eagerness and nerves.
Upon arrival, the picturesque city with its historic architecture and beautiful streets attracted me. My host family, Mr Smith, Mrs Smith, and their son Mark, welcomed me warmly, which immediately put me at ease. After my settlement at their home, I quickly found comfort in my new surroundings.
Then came my first week at school, which, however, turned out to be a whirlwind (一片忙乱) besides a feeling of freshness. The education system was different from what I was used to in my hometown. Classes were more discussion-based, and I was encouraged to express my opinions, which I wasn’t comfortable with at first. My teachers and classmates were friendly and curious about my background, often asking questions about my life in China. However, I struggled to keep up with the fast-paced (快节奏的) conversations. The British accent, with its unique slang (俚语), often made it hard for me to understand. There were moments in class when I felt lost, unable to fully understand the discussions or contribute meaningfully. This was frustrating (令人沮丧的), as I had always been a top student back home.
Along with the new experience at school, homesickness began to set in. I missed my family, friends, and the familiar rhythm of life back in China. The cultural differences, from food to social rules, made me hard to get used to at times. I found myself longing for a taste of my home, both physically and mentally.

Gahriela worked for a multinational company as a successful project manager in Brazil. Later she was transferred to manage a team in Sweden. She was excited about her new role but soon realized that managing her new team would be a challenge.
Despite their friendliness, Gabriela didn’t feel respected as a leader. Her new staff would question her proposals openly in meetings, and when she gave them instructions on how to carry out a task, they would often go about is in their own way without checking with her. When she announced her decisions on the project, they would continue giving their opinions as if it was still up for discussion.
What Gabriela was experiencing was a culture shock in expectations. Dutch psychologist Geert Hofstede uses the concept of “power distance” to describe how power is distributed (分布) in different cultures. In her previous work environment, Gabriela was used to a high power distance culture where power is respected. In such a culture, leaders make the big decisions and are not often challenged. Her Swedish team, however, were used to working in a low power distance culture where employees often work together with their bosses to find solutions and make decisions. Here, leaders act as coaches who encourage independent thought and expect to be challenged.
When Gabriela became aware of the cultural differences between her and her team, she had an open conversation with them about their feelings about her leadership.
Pleased to be asked for their thoughts, Gabriela’s team openly expressed that they were not used to being told what to do. They enjoyed having more room for initiative and creative freedom. When she told her team exactly what she needed them to do, they felt that she didn’t trust them to do their job well.
With a better understanding of the underlying reasons behind each other’s behaviour, Gabriela was able to make adjustments to her management style. Finally, she effectively motivated her team to achieve their goals.
4.What problem did Gabriela have with her Swedish team at the beginning?
A.Her Swedish staff didn’t understand her instructions.
B.They were always refusing to follow her directions.
C.Her authority was challenged by her Swedish staff.
D.They looked down upon her because she was a female.
5.What is encouraged in the working culture in Sweden?
A.Independent thinking and mild character. B.Competitive spirit and mild character.
C.Professional spirit and risk-taking behavior. D.Active participation and creative thinking.
6.Which of the following can best describe Gabriela?
A.Bossy and rude. B.Flexible and communicative.
C.King but stubborn. D.Strict but trustworthy.
7.What can we learn from Gabriela’s story?
A.Two heads are better than one. B.When in Rome, do as Romans do.
C.Birds of a feather flock together. D.Don’t judge a book by its cover.
【答案】4.C 5.A 6.B 7.B

Her new staff would question her proposals openly in meetings, and when she gave them instructions on how to carry out a task, they would often go about is in their own way without checking with her. (尽管他们很友好,但加布里埃拉并不觉得自己是一个受尊重的领导者。她的新员工会在会议上公开质疑她的建议,当她给他们指示如何执行任务时,他们往往会按照自己的方式行事,而不征求她的意见。)”可知,加布里埃拉一开始觉得在瑞典团队里自己的领导权威被挑衅。故选C。
5.细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“Her Swedish team, however, were used to working in a low power distance culture where employees often work together with their bosses to find solutions and make decisions. Here, leaders act as coaches who encourage independent thought and expect to be challenged. (然而,她的瑞典团队习惯于在低权力距离文化中工作,在这种文化中,员工经常与老板一起寻找解决方案并做出决定。在这里,领导者扮演教练的角色,鼓励独立思考,并期待挑战。)”和第二段第一句“Despite their friendliness, Gabriela didn’t feel respected as a leader. (尽管他们很友好,但加布里埃拉并不觉得自己是一个受尊重的领导者。)”可知,瑞典的工作文化鼓励思想独立、性格温和。故选A。
6.推理判断题。根据第四段“When Gabriela became aware of the cultural differences between her and her team, she had an open conversation with them about their feelings about her leadership. (当加布里埃拉意识到她和她的团队之间的文化差异时,她与他们进行了一次公开的对话,了解他们对她的领导的感受。)”和最后一段“With a better understanding of the underlying reasons behind each other’s behaviour, Gabriela was able to make adjustments to her management style.

Nearly 13,000 cultural relics have been unearthed from six pits (坑) of the Sanxingdui Ruins site, including many objects and statues never seen before, and they help present a more complete view of the culture of the ancient Shu Kingdom.
The digging work mainly aimed at the sacrificial (献祭的) area of the ruins and six newly discovered pits. From 2020 to 2022, a total area of 1,834 square meters was explored in the sacrificial area, which covered a total area of nearly 13,000 square meters.
The significant discoveries include thousands of cultural relics made of different materials such as bronze, gold and jade and unearthed in six new pits, ruins of architecture, time of building the pits and the proof of exchanges between the ancient Shu Kingdom and the Central Plains in the Shang dynasty. Among the cultural relics newly unearthed, archaeologists found 3,155 comparatively complete relics.
“All cultural relics have significant meanings for archaeological research. If I have to choose one, I want to select the crowned bronze statue with a snake’s body,” said Ran Honglin, director of the Sanxingdui Cultural Relics and Archeology Research Institute. He noted that the relics prove the diversity of Chinese culture and offer another powerful example of Chinese civilization’s unity in diversity, because the bronze statue’s shape melted cultural factors of different areas in China during ancient times.
Researchers used Carbon-14 dating to confirm that nearly 200 samples unearthed in different pits were made from 1131 BC to 1012 BC, so they concluded that in addition to the fifth and sixth pits appearing later, the rest of the pits should have been built in the late Shang dynasty, dating from 3,000 to 3,200 years ago. The discovery has solved an argument over the age of sacrificial pits found in the past three decades.
“The digging and research work is continuing. There will be more discoveries with further work.” Ran said.
8.What is the significance of the newly unearthed relics?
A.They are the first complete relics to be unearthed.
B.They are helpful in protecting the Sanxingdui Ruins site.
C.They prove statues appeared first in the ancient Shu Kingdom.
D.They help better understand the culture of the ancient Shu Kingdom.
9.What makes the crowned bronze statue an example of Chinese civilization’s unity in diversity?
A.Its origin. B.Its form. C.Its material. D.Its meaning.
10.In which aspect did archaeologists disagree about the pits before the exploration?
A.The time of building them.
B.The time of finding them.
C.The way of studying them.
D.The order of numbering them.
11.What is the purpose of this text?
A.To explain the meaning of cultural relics.
B.To remember an archeologist in Sanxingdui.
C.To introduce the new discoveries in Sanxingdui.
D.To recommend Sanxingdui as a tourist destination.

Culture shock occurs when people have been suddenly thrown into a new culture. Newcomers maybe anxious because they don’t speak the language. Neither do they know the customs nor understand the people’s behavior in daily life.
Quite often the visitors find that “yes” may not always mean “yes”, that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship, or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes. The foreigners maybe unsure as to when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The idea of culture shock helps explain feelings of puzzlement and confusion.
Language problems do not lead to all the setbacks that people feel. When one has lost everything that was once familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register (注册,登记) for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.
When an individual enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water. Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture. When this happens, visitors may want to refuse everything about the new environment and may glorify and sing their own praises of the positive aspects of their own culture. On the other side, more visitors may sneeze at their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it.
12.What might happen when newcomers enter a new culture?
A.They have difficult yin saying yes or no.
B.They find it annoying to understand the friendship.

A.They will miss their motherland deeply enough to return to their homeland.
B.They are willing to accept a new culture unconditionally and completely.
C.They try their best to fit into local life and live a positive and upward life.
D.They only contact fellow countrymen with the same experience.

When one has lost everything that was once familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register (注册,登记) for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.(语言问题并不会导致人们感受到的所有setbacks。当一个人失去了曾经熟悉的一切,比如了解交通系统、知道如何注册大学课程或知道如何交朋友时,应对新社会的困难可能会出现。)”,身处异国他乡产生的语言问题会让新来者陷入一个不熟悉的环境,遇到困难,遭遇挫折,setbacks意为“挫折”,与discouragements意思相近。故选A项。
14.推理判断题。根据最后一段“On the other side, more visitors may sneeze at their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it. (另一方面,更多的来访者可能会对他们的祖国嗤之以鼻,拒绝它的价值,相反选择认可新国家的价值。这可能是为了被新文化中的人接受而试图接受新文化。)”可推知,为了融入到当地文化中,被新文化中的人接受,新来者愿意无条件完全地接受新文化。故选B项。
15.推理判断题。根据最后一段“When an individual enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water. Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture. When this happens, visitors may want to refuse everything about the new environment and may glorify and sing their own praises of the positive aspects of their own culture. On the other side, more visitors may sneeze at their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it. (当一个人进入一种陌生的文化时,他或她会感觉像一条离开水的鱼。新来者有时会觉得他们不属于这个文化,觉得被这个文化的本土成员抛弃了。当这种情况发生时,来访者可能想要拒绝新环境的一切,可能会赞美和歌颂自己文化的积极方面。另一方面,更多的来访者可能会鄙视他们的祖国,拒绝它的价值,而选择认可新国家的价值。这可能是为了适应新的文化而试图接受新的文化)”可知,最后一段阐述了两种思想倾向,或不能融入或全盘接受,这些都是很极端的做法,所以下文将会继续就如何应对文化冲击给出建议。故选C项。

47.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I started my second year of high school, an exciting opportunity came my way: a year-long exchange program in Bath, England. The thought of studying abroad filled me with both excitement and anticipation (期盼). The chance to experience a new culture, improve my English, and make international friends seemed like a dream that comes true.
I managed to apply for a host family, read about rules and how to survive homesickness, and research about Bath on the Internet. With all preparations made, I was on a plane to Bath, my heart racing with a mix of eagerness and nerves.
Upon arrival, the picturesque city with its historic architecture and beautiful streets attracted me. My host family, Mr Smith, Mrs Smith, and their son Mark, welcomed me warmly, which immediately put me at ease. After my settlement at their home, I quickly found comfort in my new surroundings.
Then came my first week at school, which, however, turned out to be a whirlwind (一片忙乱) besides a feeling of freshness. The education system was different from what I was used to in my hometown. Classes were more discussion-based, and I was encouraged to express my opinions, which I wasn’t comfortable with at first. My teachers and classmates were friendly and curious about my background, often asking questions about my life in China. However, I struggled to keep up with the fast-paced (快节奏的) conversations. The British accent, with its unique slang (俚语), often made it hard for me to understand. There were moments in class when I felt lost, unable to fully understand the discussions or contribute meaningfully. This was frustrating (令人沮丧的), as I had always been a top student back home.
Along with the new experience at school, homesickness began to set in. I missed my family, friends, and the familiar rhythm of life back in China. The cultural differences, from food to social rules, made me hard to get used to at times. I found myself longing for a taste of my home, both physically and mentally.

Gradually, I began to adapt to (适应) the life here.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
Recognizing my struggle, people around me stepped in to support me. On weekends, Mrs Smith would take me on a trip to many attractions, some even I had only read about in textbooks. Mrs Smith went out of her way to make me feel at home by cooking Chinese dishes. Mike shared his own experiences of studying abroad to comfort me. At school, my teachers were patient and understanding, offering extra help with assignments and encouraging me to join clubs to make new friends. My classmates invited me to see movies, play hockey, and go to concerts. Everyone was warm, open, and never hesitant in offering help.
Gradually, I began to adapt to (适应) the life here. I offered to share Chinese culture with my host family. I joined the school’s debate club, which helped me improve my English and gain confidence in speaking. I also participated in a local volunteer group, where I met people from different backgrounds, each with their own unique stories. These experiences broadened my perspective and helped me feel more connected to my new environment. As the months passed, Bath began to feel like a second home. I developed a close connection with people here that I knew would last a lifetime.
