Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
For a long time, people had to listen to the radio to get news, dramas and music at home. This all changed with the development of the television in the early 20th century.
For most of TV's history, we have fitted our weekday evenings around broadcasts of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street. However, that seems no longer to be so. Today, we have the power to watch whatever we want to through streaming services, whenever we want to and wherever we want to. The services have given us access to more content than ever before, including back catalogues of classic shows and movies.
It's not just the streaming services that are taking away audiences from traditional TV channels. Social media sites also bring competition to traditional TV since they allow the uploading of video content, meaning users can watch more and shorter clips(片段) at their convenience.
In the UK, adults are spending more time watching content on streaming services than ever before. In 2018, the figure was around 26 minutes per day. This has been the trend for the past decade and it doesn't look like it will change any time soon. While the demand for streaming services is growing, the main UK channels continue to be the most watched overall. For example, in 2018 UK adults continued to watch Channel One for an average of 41 minutes per day, more than any streaming service.
While traditional TV networks have seen a decline, the television set itself doesn't look like it's going anywhere any time soon. Most major TV channels have their own streaming services, which significantly increase their viewing figures. Additionally, the UK channels have begun making content that's only available through its iPlayer service. Channel Three allows its viewers to watch original content at their convenience without having to wait for the show to air on TV first.
So, while around 50% of all households now subscribe to at least one streaming service, there is no way of knowing where television is going.
[语篇解读] 本文主要介绍了流媒体。
1.What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The advantages of streaming services.
B.The popularity of traditional TV channels.
C.The competition among streaming services.
D.The effects of the Internet on people's lives.

2.What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Analyzing official figures.

C.Preferring to watch short videos.
D.The great demand for UK channels.
解析:B [考查代词指代。根据第四段中的“In the UK,adults are spending more time... it doesn't look like it will change any time soon”可知,在英国,成年人在流媒体服务上观看内容的时间比以往任何时候都多。2018年,这个数字是每天大约26分钟。这是过去十年的趋势,而且看起来短期内不会改变。由此可知,画线词This指代“正在改变的观看习惯”。故选B。]
3.What do major TV channels do to attract more audiences?
A.Enrich their content.
B.Put on older TV shows.
C.Provide streaming services.
D.Seek help from video makers.

B
Culture shock is a broad term for a series of personal difficulties that people go through in new places. It's usually most extreme for those who can't speak the language of the place they have moved to, or for those who aren't familiar with the social rules. Both of these things applied to me in China when I moved there in 2011. So, naturally, I went through the four wellknown stages of culture shock: the honeymoon, distress (痛苦), reintegration(重新融入) and autonomy(自主).
When I arrived, I was excited and optimistic, but I quickly became annoyed by cultural differences, missing how things worked back home.
By the end of my first year, I had totally lost my selfconfidence; I was a bitter,clumsy and sensitive person, and I blamed China for making me that way.
Then, in my second year, I started to pick up some language skills, and I found fun activities to do in my spare time. I made great foreign and Chinese friends, and I developed an interest in Chinese history and culture. Based on the above, I learned to consider myself a confident and happy foreigner.
Today I'm back in the US, where I'm pursuing a PhD at a university in my hometown. It's been a little tough to readjust to the life in my home country. I suffered at first from “ reverse ” culture shock, experiencing the four stages in the opposite order.
I started feeling independent and selfconfident, before slowly realizing that I knew my country much less well than I used to. I'd complain loudly about little things, like I could no longer shout “fuwuyuan!” to get a waiter's attention in a restaurant. But eventually, I came to realize that my “home” had become an entirely new place while I was away. That, by itself, was exciting.
[语篇解读] 文章讲述了作者在中国期间经历了文化冲击的四个阶段:蜜月、痛苦、重新融入和自主。回到美国后,作者又经历了“反向”的文化冲击。
5.Which stage of culture shock does Paragraph 3 mainly describe?
A.The honeymoon. B.Distress.
C.Reintegration. D.Autonomy.
解析:B [考查细节理解。由第三段内容可知,该段描述的是作者处于文化冲击的“distress”这一阶段。故选B。]
6.Which least helped the author ease his culture shock in China?
A.Making local friends.
B.Joining in fun activities.
C.Attending history courses.
D.Learning the Chinese language.
解析:C [考查细节理解。根据第四段的内容可知,学习汉语、结交当地的朋友、参加有趣的活动都帮助作者缓解了在中国遭遇的文化冲击。文章中没有提到参加历史课程的学习能够缓解文化冲击。故选C。]
7.What does the underlined word “reverse” mean in Paragraph 5?
A.Exchange the position completely.
B.Change the previous decision.
C.Stop having a particular position.
D.Change the order of something around.
解析:A [考查词义猜测。由下文中的“experiencing the four stages in the opposite order”可知,作者回到美国后以相反的顺序经历了这四个阶段,由此可推知,reverse的意思是“反向的,相反的”。故选A项。]
8.What can we learn about the author according to the last paragraph?
A.He began to feel that life in the US was boring.
B.He wished to call “fuwuyuan!” in a restaurant.
C.He was unable to accept American life.
D.He needed to adjust himself to his native life.
解析:D [考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“I came to realize that my‘home’had become an entirely new place while I was away”可知,作者开始意识到,当他不在的时候,他的“家”变成了一个全新的地方,由此可推知,作者回到家乡后要学着适应那里的生活,故选D。]
