During the summer holiday, I went to Australia as an exchange student. I had a meaningful time there.
I set off from Guangzhou by air and arrived in Sydney 13 hours later. In the first week, I studied in a local school with the local students. Talking with teachers and classmates helped my English improve a lot. During the second week, I went to visit some places of interest in Sydney and took some photos of special animals.
I really had a good time in Sydney. I think this experience is very wonderful. If I have another chance, I will study as an exchange student again.

Martin Albert Haase developed a deep interest in Chinese culture as a child. The Canadian enjoyed practising tai chi with his mother. He also showed an interest in TCM (中医). After graduating from high school, he entered the Oshio College of Acupuncture & Herbology in Victoria. His teacher then was from Hunan.
“He taught us many interesting things about Hunan, like the great herbalist doctor Zhang Zhongjing. He also told me that if I wanted to really understand Chinese medicine, I must go to China, so I came to Hunan,” said Haase.
Haase came to study at the Hunan University of Chinese Medicine (HUCM) in Changsha in 2007. Zhong Huan, a professor at HUCM, said that he really liked the Canadian student. “He speaks up in class and often expresses creative ideas,” Zhong said, adding that Haase always asked plenty of questions and attended academic conferences.
After spending more than 15 years in Changsha, Haase speaks good Chinese. He has a deep understanding of TCM, which he calls a treasure of Chinese civilizaion (文明). Haase also likes to practise kung fu and tai chi, which he studies under Zou Zequn, a famous tai chi master in Hunan. Haase practises kung fu and tai chi in a park near his home every morning to keep in shape.
Haase often talks about TCM with his friends. He said that many friends who used to be dubious (怀疑的) about TCM have now changed their attitude towards it. He said that if he decides to return to Victoria, he plans to open a clinic to spread the knowledge of TCM and Chinese culture. He also hopes to introduce kung fu and tai chi to more people to help them build their bodies.

My own experiment with culture shock came to a fruitless end when I returned with homesick from a year’s study in Italy. I had never heard of culture shock. All I knew was that I was unhappy and wanted to go home.
That was twenty years ago, and since then culture shock has become a real field of study. It is now understood that any normal person, finding himself or herself for an extended time in a new culture, is in trouble.
The process of “culture shock” is now recognized as so predictable that its four stages have been noticeable. The first is the honeymoon stage, familiar to those of us who love to travel, but never stay in one place long enough to find out what follows. In this stage, the new country and its people seem delightful. Everything is better than home. Everything is so different and charming.
Then the bloom comes off the rose. Now the people start to look shallow, selfish and stupid. The different ways of doing things don’t seem interesting any more. You start to feel tired all the time. Culture shock has set in. You feel at sea.
The emotional response to culture shock in stage two can be extreme. Confusion, depression, worry and resentment can all enter to varying degrees. You may become physically ill. Little things seem terribly annoying.
The happier resolution is to move on to stage three. Adjusting. Rather than listing what’s “wrong” with Americans, you remind yourself that “right” and “wrong” are not meaningful terms in cultural matters.
Instead, you try to understand what motivates Americans, perhaps realizing that many of the things you don’t like are related to the things you do like.
As time goes on, you should be moving into stage four. Acceptance. At this point, you simply don’t think any more about the specialties of Americans. You accept them as individuals. You have started to feel at home; you know how to do things. You have not rejected your old culture; but the American ways have settled upon you. You feel optimistic about your future here. You have truly arrived.
30.Why do people not suffer from culture shock when they first arrive in a foreign country?
A.They love to travel.
B.They don’t stay in one place long enough.
C.The new country and its people are delightful.
D.Everything is so different and charming.
31.Which one is the possible psychological effect of culture shock on the second stage?
A.Anxiety. B.Excitement. C.Curiosity. D.Delight.
32.Which of the following statements will the writer agree with?
A.Any normal person facing a new culture will be in trouble.
B.Culture shock is now recognized as unpredictable.
C.There is no “right” and “wrong” in terms of cultural matters.
D.When you reject your old culture, you can accept the new one.
33.The passage is mainly about ________.
A.the study of culture shock B.how to get rid of culture shock
C.the writer’s own experiment with culture shock D.the four stages of culture shock and their features
C
How do you feel when your teacher asks you to work on a group project with other students? Do you like to work together with others or work alone?
The Programme for International Student Assessment, or PISA, carried out a survey of students’ ability to work together in groups. They found that students who do well on tests by themselves are also likely to be better at working with other people. This finding was true for many countries. Students in Japan, South Korea, Finland and Canada, where test scores are high, also did well in working together to solve problems. But this is not the case for every country. Chinese students, who tend (倾向于) to have high scores as well, displayed just average collaborative (合作的) skills.
“One reason might be that Chinese parents and teachers focus too much on grades,” said Zhao Zhongxin, former vice president of the Chinese Family Education Association. “Students have a lot of exam pressure and they view school as a place for competition.” “However, collaborative skills are very important for preparing students for today’s society,” he added. Luckily, more Chinese parents and teachers are realizing the importance of this and are thinking of ways to help students improve these skills.
Another interesting finding from the PISA survey was that girls tend to be better than boys at working together. They said girls show more positive attitudes towards relationships, which means they are more willing to listen to others’ opinions.
PISA also found that the classroom environment tends to influence how well students collaborate. In classes where there are a lot of activities that require communication, such as class debates, students tend to have better attitudes toward collaborating.
34.In which country should the students improve their collaborative skills?
A.China. B.South Korea. C.Canada. D.Finland.
35.Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?
A.Chinese parents and teachers don’t care about grades.
B.Chinese students have little exam pressure.
C.Collaborative skills are not important in China’s society.
D.Chinese parents hope to help students improve their collaborative skills.
36.What can we learn from the PISA survey in the passage?
A.Students with good grades are likely to be worse at working in groups
B.Boys tend to be better than girls at working together.
C.The classroom environment tends to influence how well students collaborate.
D.Chinese students are the best at working with others.
37.What is the main idea of this passage?
A.Students in Canada should improve their collaborative skills.
B.The PISA carried out a survey and got interesting findings.
C.Boys should improve their collaborative skills.
D.Teachers should improve the classroom environment.
D

Martin Albert Haase developed a deep interest in Chinese culture as a child. The Canadian enjoyed practising tai chi with his mother. He also showed an interest in TCM (中医). After graduating from high school, he entered the Oshio College of Acupuncture & Herbology in Victoria. His teacher then was from Hunan.
“He taught us many interesting things about Hunan, like the great herbalist doctor Zhang Zhongjing. He also told me that if I wanted to really understand Chinese medicine, I must go to China, so I came to Hunan,” said Haase.
Haase came to study at the Hunan University of Chinese Medicine (HUCM) in Changsha in 2007. Zhong Huan, a professor at HUCM, said that he really liked the Canadian student. “He speaks up in class and often expresses creative ideas,” Zhong said, adding that Haase always asked plenty of questions and attended academic conferences.
After spending more than 15 years in Changsha, Haase speaks good Chinese. He has a deep understanding of TCM, which he calls a treasure of Chinese civilizaion (文明). Haase also likes to practise kung fu and tai chi, which he studies under Zou Zequn, a famous tai chi master in Hunan. Haase practises kung fu and tai chi in a park near his home every morning to keep in shape.
Haase often talks about TCM with his friends. He said that many friends who used to be dubious (怀疑的) about TCM have now changed their attitude towards it. He said that if he decides to return to Victoria, he plans to open a clinic to spread the knowledge of TCM and Chinese culture. He also hopes to introduce kung fu and tai chi to more people to help them build their bodies.

My own experiment with culture shock came to a fruitless end when I returned with homesick from a year’s study in Italy. I had never heard of culture shock. All I knew was that I was unhappy and wanted to go home.
That was twenty years ago, and since then culture shock has become a real field of study. It is now understood that any normal person, finding himself or herself for an extended time in a new culture, is in trouble.
The process of “culture shock” is now recognized as so predictable that its four stages have been noticeable. The first is the honeymoon stage, familiar to those of us who love to travel, but never stay in one place long enough to find out what follows. In this stage, the new country and its people seem delightful. Everything is better than home. Everything is so different and charming.
Then the bloom comes off the rose. Now the people start to look shallow, selfish and stupid. The different ways of doing things don’t seem interesting any more. You start to feel tired all the time. Culture shock has set in. You feel at sea.
The emotional response to culture shock in stage two can be extreme. Confusion, depression, worry and resentment can all enter to varying degrees. You may become physically ill. Little things seem terribly annoying.
The happier resolution is to move on to stage three. Adjusting. Rather than listing what’s “wrong” with Americans, you remind yourself that “right” and “wrong” are not meaningful terms in cultural matters.
Instead, you try to understand what motivates Americans, perhaps realizing that many of the things you don’t like are related to the things you do like.
As time goes on, you should be moving into stage four. Acceptance. At this point, you simply don’t think any more about the specialties of Americans. You accept them as individuals. You have started to feel at home; you know how to do things. You have not rejected your old culture; but the American ways have settled upon you. You feel optimistic about your future here. You have truly arrived.
30.Why do people not suffer from culture shock when they first arrive in a foreign country?
A.They love to travel.
B.They don’t stay in one place long enough.
C.The new country and its people are delightful.
D.Everything is so different and charming.
31.Which one is the possible psychological effect of culture shock on the second stage?
A.Anxiety. B.Excitement. C.Curiosity. D.Delight.
32.Which of the following statements will the writer agree with?
A.Any normal person facing a new culture will be in trouble.
B.Culture shock is now recognized as unpredictable.
C.There is no “right” and “wrong” in terms of cultural matters.
D.When you reject your old culture, you can accept the new one.
33.The passage is mainly about ________.
A.the study of culture shock B.how to get rid of culture shock
C.the writer’s own experiment with culture shock D.the four stages of culture shock and their features
【答案】30.B 31.A 32.C 33.D
【导语】本文主要讲述了文化冲击的四个阶段及其特点。
30.细节理解题。根据“The first is the honeymoon stage, familiar to those of us who love to travel, but never stay in one place long enough to find out what follows.”可知人们第一次到外国时没有遭受文化冲击是因为他们待得不够久,故选B。
31.推理判断题。根据“The emotional response to culture shock in stage two can be extreme. Confusion, depression, worry and resentment can all enter to varying degrees.”可知第二阶段对文化冲击的情绪反应可能是极端的,由此推出文化冲击在第二阶段可能产生的心理效应是焦虑。故选A。
32.细节理解题。根据“you remind yourself that ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ are not meaningful terms in cultural matters”可知作者可能会同意“在文化问题上,没有‘对’和‘错’之分”这个说法。故选C。
33.主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要讲述了文化冲击的四个阶段及其特点。故选D。
C
How do you feel when your teacher asks you to work on a group project with other students? Do you like to work together with others or work alone?
The Programme for International Student Assessment, or PISA, carried out a survey of students’ ability to work together in groups. They found that students who do well on tests by themselves are also likely to be better at working with other people. This finding was true for many countries. Students in Japan, South Korea, Finland and Canada, where test scores are high, also did well in working together to solve problems. But this is not the case for every country. Chinese students, who tend (倾向于) to have high scores as well, displayed just average collaborative (合作的) skills.
“One reason might be that Chinese parents and teachers focus too much on grades,” said Zhao Zhongxin, former vice president of the Chinese Family Education Association. “Students have a lot of exam pressure and they view school as a place for competition.” “However, collaborative skills are very important for preparing students for today’s society,” he added. Luckily, more Chinese parents and teachers are realizing the importance of this and are thinking of ways to help students improve these skills.
Another interesting finding from the PISA survey was that girls tend to be better than boys at working together. They said girls show more positive attitudes towards relationships, which means they are more willing to listen to others’ opinions.
PISA also found that the classroom environment tends to influence how well students collaborate. In classes where there are a lot of activities that require communication, such as class debates, students tend to have better attitudes toward collaborating.
34.In which country should the students improve their collaborative skills?
A.China. B.South Korea. C.Canada. D.Finland.
35.Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?
A.Chinese parents and teachers don’t care about grades.
B.Chinese students have little exam pressure.
C.Collaborative skills are not important in China’s society.
D.Chinese parents hope to help students improve their collaborative skills.
36.What can we learn from the PISA survey in the passage?
A.Students with good grades are likely to be worse at working in groups
B.Boys tend to be better than girls at working together.
C.The classroom environment tends to influence how well students collaborate.
D.Chinese students are the best at working with others.
37.What is the main idea of this passage?
A.Students in Canada should improve their collaborative skills.
B.The PISA carried out a survey and got interesting findings.
C.Boys should improve their collaborative skills.
D.Teachers should improve the classroom environment.
【答案】34.A 35.D 36.C 37.B
【导语】本文主要围绕PISA的调查结果,探讨了不同国家学生的合作能力及中国学生合作能力偏低的原因等内容。
34.细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Students in Japan, South Korea, Finland and Canada, where test scores are high, also did well in working together to solve problems. But this is not the case for every country. Chinese students, who tend (倾向于) to have high scores as well, displayed just average collaborative (合作的) skill.”可以得知,中国学生应该提高合作技能。故选A。
35.细节理解题。根据第三段“Luckily, more Chinese parents and teachers are realizing the importance of this and are thinking of ways to help students improve this skill.”可知,本段说明中国家长们也越来越重视提高孩子们的合作技能。故选D。
36.细节理解题。根据“PISA also found that the classroom environment tends to influence how well students collaborate. In classes where there are a lot of activities that require communication, such as class debates, students tend to have better attitudes toward collaborating.”可知,课堂环境往往会影响学生的合作程度。故选C。
37.主旨大意题。结合全文每段都出现的中心词“PISA”可以得知,本文展示的是PISA的研究发现。故选B。
D

四、写作(共三节,满分30分)
第一节.语篇填词(本题共5小题,每小题1分,共5分)
The best way to learn a new language is to make friends with local people. Lily is from the UK. She had d 46 in speaking Chinese when she came to China at first. She felt l 47 because she didn’t have any friends at school. Later, she tried her best to use body language to express her ideas. She really hoped to fit in and even e 48 to make some Chinese friends soon. Then her wish came true—she made a lot of Chinese friends. They o 49 parties and a lot of other activities for her. Friendship brought Lily much joy and raised her spirits. She also got more chances to practise speaking Chinese. The ability to speak Chinese e 50 gave her much confidence in a new life.
【答案】46.(d)ifficulty 47.(l)onely 48.(e)xpected 49.(o)rganized/(o)rganised 50.(e)xactly
【导语】本文主要讲述了莉莉学习中文的经历。
46.句意:她刚来中国时讲汉语有困难。根据“Lily is from the UK.”和“when she came to China at first.”可知,莉莉来自英国,所以刚开始学汉语是有困难的,have difficulty in doing sth“做某事有困难”。故填(d)ifficulty。
47.句意:她感到孤独,因为她在学校没有朋友。根据“because she didn’t have any friends at school”可知,莉莉在学校没有朋友,所以会感到孤独,lonely“孤独的”,是形容词。故填(l)onely。
48.句意:她真的希望能融入其中,甚至期盼很快能交到一些中国朋友。根据前文 “she tried her best to use body language to express her ideas” 和后文 “Then her wish came true.” 可知,莉莉渴望融入新环境,对交朋友有期盼。动词 “expect” 意为 “期盼、期待”,常用搭配 “expect to do sth” 表示 “期盼做某事”;结合上下文时态(一般过去时),应用 “expect” 的过去式 “expected”。故填 (e) xpected。
49.句意:他们为她组织了聚会和许多其他活动。根据“parties and a lot of other activities”可知,此处指组织聚会和许多其他活动,应用动词organize或organise,时态为一般过去时,对应过去式是organized/organised。故填(o)rganized/(o)rganised。
50.句意:说中文的能力恰好给了她在新生活中很大的信心。空格处需填入一个副词,修饰动词 “gave”,“exactly” 为副词,意为“正好、恰好”。故填(e)xactly。
第二节、完成句子 (本题共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
51.我已经参加过两次模拟联合国比赛了。
I the Model United Nations competition twice already.
【答案】 have taken part in
【详解】根据所给句意可知,空白处表示“已经参加”,应用现在完成时,其构成为“has/have done”,主语是“I”,用have构成时态;参加“take part in”。故填have;taken;part;in。
52.这家酒店提供优质的服务,让客人感到宾至如归。
The hotel provides wonderful service to make guests .
【答案】 feel at home
【详解】feel at home“感到宾至如归”,make sb do sth“让某人做某事”。故填feel;at;home。
53.初到国外时,我对这里的文化和语言都很陌生。
When I first arrived in a foreign country, I the culture and the language.
【答案】 was unfamiliar with
【详解】be unfamiliar with“对……陌生”,根据“When I first arrived in a foreign country”可知,时态是一般过去时,主语是I,be用was。故填was;unfamiliar;with。
54.李娟在伦敦和寄宿家庭居住在一起。
Li Juan is living with a in London.
【答案】 host family
【详解】根据中英文对照,可知缺“寄宿家庭”,在英文中表达为“host family”,结合空前是“a”可知是缺单数,故填host;family。
55.一名交换生发表了演讲,分享他如何处理在中国遇到的文化冲击。
An exchange student made a speech to share how to the in China.
【答案】 deal with culture shock
【详解】根据中文提示可知,这里缺少“处理”和“文化冲击”。“deal with” 是固定短语,意为“处理”,how to 后加动词原形。culture shock 意为“文化冲击”,故填 deal;with;culture;shock。

Martin Albert Haase developed a deep interest in Chinese culture as a child. The Canadian enjoyed practising tai chi with his mother. He also showed an interest in TCM (中医). After graduating from high school, he entered the Oshio College of Acupuncture & Herbology in Victoria. His teacher then was from Hunan.
“He taught us many interesting things about Hunan, like the great herbalist doctor Zhang Zhongjing. He also told me that if I wanted to really understand Chinese medicine, I must go to China, so I came to Hunan,” said Haase.
Haase came to study at the Hunan University of Chinese Medicine (HUCM) in Changsha in 2007. Zhong Huan, a professor at HUCM, said that he really liked the Canadian student. “He speaks up in class and often expresses creative ideas,” Zhong said, adding that Haase always asked plenty of questions and attended academic conferences.
After spending more than 15 years in Changsha, Haase speaks good Chinese. He has a deep understanding of TCM, which he calls a treasure of Chinese civilizaion (文明). Haase also likes to practise kung fu and tai chi, which he studies under Zou Zequn, a famous tai chi master in Hunan. Haase practises kung fu and tai chi in a park near his home every morning to keep in shape.
Haase often talks about TCM with his friends. He said that many friends who used to be dubious (怀疑的) about TCM have now changed their attitude towards it. He said that if he decides to return to Victoria, he plans to open a clinic to spread the knowledge of TCM and Chinese culture.

My own experiment with culture shock came to a fruitless end when I returned with homesick from a year’s study in Italy. I had never heard of culture shock. All I knew was that I was unhappy and wanted to go home.
That was twenty years ago, and since then culture shock has become a real field of study. It is now understood that any normal person, finding himself or herself for an extended time in a new culture, is in trouble.
The process of “culture shock” is now recognized as so predictable that its four stages have been noticeable. The first is the honeymoon stage, familiar to those of us who love to travel, but never stay in one place long enough to find out what follows. In this stage, the new country and its people seem delightful. Everything is better than home. Everything is so different and charming.
Then the bloom comes off the rose. Now the people start to look shallow, selfish and stupid. The different ways of doing things don’t seem interesting any more. You start to feel tired all the time. Culture shock has set in. You feel at sea.
The emotional response to culture shock in stage two can be extreme. Confusion, depression, worry and resentment can all enter to varying degrees. You may become physically ill. Little things seem terribly annoying.
The happier resolution is to move on to stage three. Adjusting. Rather than listing what’s “wrong” with Americans, you remind yourself that “right” and “wrong” are not meaningful terms in cultural matters.
Instead, you try to understand what motivates Americans, perhaps realizing that many of the things you don’t like are related to the things you do like.
As time goes on, you should be moving into stage four. Acceptance. At this point, you simply don’t think any more about the specialties of Americans. You accept them as individuals. You have started to feel at home; you know how to do things. You have not rejected your old culture; but the American ways have settled upon you. You feel optimistic about your future here. You have truly arrived.
30.Why do people not suffer from culture shock when they first arrive in a foreign country?
A.They love to travel.
B.They don’t stay in one place long enough.
C.The new country and its people are delightful.
D.Everything is so different and charming.
31.Which one is the possible psychological effect of culture shock on the second stage?
A.Anxiety. B.Excitement. C.Curiosity. D.Delight.
32.Which of the following statements will the writer agree with?
A.Any normal person facing a new culture will be in trouble.
B.Culture shock is now recognized as unpredictable.
C.There is no “right” and “wrong” in terms of cultural matters.
D.When you reject your old culture, you can accept the new one.
33.The passage is mainly about ________.
A.the study of culture shock B.how to get rid of culture shock
C.the writer’s own experiment with culture shock D.the four stages of culture shock and their features
C
How do you feel when your teacher asks you to work on a group project with other students? Do you like to work together with others or work alone?
The Programme for International Student Assessment, or PISA, carried out a survey of students’ ability to work together in groups. They found that students who do well on tests by themselves are also likely to be better at working with other people. This finding was true for many countries. Students in Japan, South Korea, Finland and Canada, where test scores are high, also did well in working together to solve problems. But this is not the case for every country. Chinese students, who tend (倾向于) to have high scores as well, displayed just average collaborative (合作的) skills.
“One reason might be that Chinese parents and teachers focus too much on grades,” said Zhao Zhongxin, former vice president of the Chinese Family Education Association. “Students have a lot of exam pressure and they view school as a place for competition.” “However, collaborative skills are very important for preparing students for today’s society,” he added. Luckily, more Chinese parents and teachers are realizing the importance of this and are thinking of ways to help students improve these skills.
Another interesting finding from the PISA survey was that girls tend to be better than boys at working together. They said girls show more positive attitudes towards relationships, which means they are more willing to listen to others’ opinions.
PISA also found that the classroom environment tends to influence how well students collaborate. In classes where there are a lot of activities that require communication, such as class debates, students tend to have better attitudes toward collaborating.
34.In which country should the students improve their collaborative skills?
A.China. B.South Korea. C.Canada. D.Finland.
35.Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?
A.Chinese parents and teachers don’t care about grades.
B.Chinese students have little exam pressure.
C.Collaborative skills are not important in China’s society.
D.Chinese parents hope to help students improve their collaborative skills.
36.What can we learn from the PISA survey in the passage?
A.Students with good grades are likely to be worse at working in groups
B.Boys tend to be better than girls at working together.
C.The classroom environment tends to influence how well students collaborate.
D.Chinese students are the best at working with others.
37.What is the main idea of this passage?
A.Students in Canada should improve their collaborative skills.
B.The PISA carried out a survey and got interesting findings.
C.Boys should improve their collaborative skills.
D.Teachers should improve the classroom environment.
