(2021·全国甲卷· 阅读理解C篇)When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray January morning.Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me.Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place.Until I made a discovery.
(说明:文中加蓝词汇为主题词汇)
Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing.I loved it.I soon made friends with the local skaters.We spoke our own language.And my favorite: Safe.Safe meant cool.It meant hello.It meant don't worry about it.Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam (横杆),I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man.Safe.A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting:“Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that's what mattered — landing tricks, being a good skater.
When I was 15, my family moved to Washington.I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming.Within a couple of years, I'd given it up.
When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there.I've traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring.The day was cold but clear; tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters.Weaving (穿梭) among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam.Then a rail-thin teenager, in a baggy white T-shirt,
skidded (滑) up to the beam.He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him.But soon I caught a few of his glances.“I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him.Then, slowly, he began to nod his head.“Safe, man.Safe.”
“Yeah,” I said.“Safe.”
[真题评价]
[价值导向] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者儿时随家人搬迁至伦敦,由一开始的不适应到通过玩滑板融入当地环境、成年后又故地重游的故事。文章通过滑板文化的交流与融入,说明共同的爱好与语言可以成为跨越地域、连接人心的桥梁,同时展现了跨文化融入过程中特定文化符号(如“safe”)的重要作用。
√
1.What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London?
A.He felt disappointed.
B.He gave up his hobby.
C.He liked the weather there.
D.He had disagreements with his family.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段倒数第二句“Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place.”可知,作者搬到伦敦后感觉不知所措且无所适从。分析四个选项可知,A项中的disappointed(沮丧的)准确描述了作者的心情。故选A项。
2.What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean?
A.Be careful! B.Well done!
C.No way! D.Don't worry!
解析:词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句“And that's what mattered — landing tricks,being a good skater.”可知,成为一名好的滑行者,落地技巧是重要的。再根据上句中的“when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting ...”可知,作者成功掌握了落地技巧,他的朋友们夸赞他干得漂亮。故选B项。
√
√
3.Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London?
A.To join the skateboarding.
B.To make new friends.
C.To learn more tricks.
D.To relive his childhood days.
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段中的“I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I've traveled back several times since ...Weaving (穿梭) among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam”可知,作者在回到伦敦后,花了数小时在Southbank漫步,并且去了多次,穿梭于玩滑板的孩子之间,回忆起自己的过往。由此可推断作者在重温儿时美好的日子。故选D项。
4.What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A.Children should learn a second language.
B.Sport is necessary for children's health.
C.Children need a sense of belonging.
D.Seeing the world is a must for children.
解析:推理判断题。通读全文可知,作者从洛杉矶搬到伦敦后感到不适应,后在一个滑板运动中心交到了好友。作者15岁时,一家又搬到了华盛顿。他尝试在那里玩滑板,但这项运动在那里并不受欢迎,故作者几年后放弃了。作者再次回到伦敦后,又找到了自己久违的回忆。通过自己的经历,作者想要表达的是,归属感对于孩子是很重要的。故选C项。

课时作业评价
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2025·淮北模拟)As a big country, China's economic and political influence is felt around the world.And its influence in education and culture has been growing, too.The Confucius Institute offering free language classes has gained increasing popularity in both Hungary and Serbia.By offering opportunities to learn Chinese language and traditional arts, Confucius Institutes bring Chinese culture closer to interested learners serving as bridges between nations.
During my childhood, I held an unspoken fascination for Asian culture, a passion cultivated through watching dramas such as the Monkey King.At the time, the idea of studying this captivating region didn't occupy my mind.My turning point came when the desire to challenge myself led me to choose China for further education.It was a decision — not only for academic growth, but also to experience the responsibility of looking after myself.Taking the road that is less traveled means less company, less comfort.But it also means forging a life with an entirely different perspective I am seeking.
Undertaking Chinese language training presented a remarkable opportunity for many reasons.I firmly believe that acquiring proficiency in the language of the culture is not merely useful, but is also an effective means to truly understand that culture.The combination of learning the language in a classroom setting and applying it in everyday life offers an enriching experience.I participated in the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations held by my local Confucius Institute, such as trying my hand at Chinese crafts providing me with a first-hand experience of the culture.
If given another chance, I would explore even deeper into the rich cultural tapestry that surrounds me.Exploring renowned landmarks like the oriental Pearl Tower previously unvisited, felt like embarking on a new journey of discovery.I can say that along this path, I am gradually learning that valuable lessons unfold step by step.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了从小就对亚洲文化感兴趣的作者选择去中国继续深造,不仅是为了学业成长,也是提升体验一个人独立生活的责任感。
√
1.What is the main function of the Confucius Institute in global cultural exchanges?
A.Offering language courses with a very small fee.
B.Fostering international understanding of Chinese culture.
C.Promoting Chinese tourism and business opportunities abroad.
D.Serving as a platform for economic cooperation between countries.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段“By offering opportunities ...between nations.”以及第三段“I firmly believe that ...understand that culture.”可知,孔子学院在全球文化交流中的主要作用是促进国际社会对中国文化的了解。故选B。
√

(2025·重庆模拟)“A fish out of water.” “A bike without a chain.” There are many metaphors for culture shock, all of which attempt to describe the unique experience of being far from one's home country and culture.
Scientists have studied culture shock for over a century.Rather than focus on the purely negative aspects, psychologists describe it as a process of stress and adjustment.The first stage is the honeymoon phase, when we are filled with excitement about being in another country.Eventually, as daily challenges arise, we enter a state of crisis and anxiety, harboring unfriendly feelings about the host culture.The longer we are immersed in the culture, we adjust and recover from those negative feelings.Finally, after some time we adjust even more and fully accept the new culture.
One of the factors that determines how we react to cultural stress is our personality.Not surprisingly, extraverts (外向者) tend to have an easier time adjusting to new cultures.That is because being in a new country means meeting many new people and spending a lot of time around them, and extraverts thrive in these situations.But introverts simply prefer to be alone after spending time in groups, and only have limited energy to spend in social settings.
Cultural intelligence, or CQ, also plays its part.Cultural intelligence is defined as the capability of an individual to function effectively in situations characterized by cultural diversity.It has to do with our interest in interacting with people from culturally diverse backgrounds, and our ability to adapt to new cultural context.It is argued that the higher our CQ, the lesser the effect of culture shock on our ability to cope in new situations.
Many effective coping strategies are interpersonal.A recent study found that relating to others with empathy is significantly associated with lower stress levels abroad.The more we are able to take on other people's points of view, the more positive our interpersonal relationships and thus our adaptation to the stress of culture shock.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2025·衡阳模拟)With the development of globalization, “interconnectivity” has become a buzzword (流行词) of the modern world.Although this trend brings lots of advantages, it can also present some challenges. 9 Understanding and overcoming cultural barriers is very important in daily life.Here are some tips on how to properly handle cultural differences.
Be self-aware and acknowledge differences.Most cross-cultural misunderstandings come from a single-minded opinion.If we judge others through our own culture, we may end up with wrong interpretations.Failing to acknowledge differences may easily lead to misconceptions and even conflicts. 10
Do research and learn about other cultures.After cultural differences are acknowledged, it's important to learn more about them. 11 Understanding the reasoning behind one's actions can reduce “wrong labeling” and lead to a more effective cooperation and communication process.
12 Try your best to avoid quick judgments and be open to new beliefs and behavior.Find out what you have in common and learn how to make the best use of each unique characteristic.Respect the fact that others have distinct core values.
All in all, dealing with cultural differences is quite challenging and requires a lot of work. 13 When you meet people from different cultures and backgrounds next time, just be mindful, and stay open-minded and patient.
A.One of them is cultural barriers.
B.Be open-minded, adaptable and respectful.
C.You can either do your own research or simply ask others about them.
D.Employees should be prepared to work in a multicultural environment.
E.However, the results of overcoming these barriers far outweigh the effort.
F.Actually, travelling abroad is not the only way to overcome cultural barriers.
G.Therefore, we should accept differences and learn more about others' backgrounds.
