Middle school is 1 important stage for students to develop creativity. 2 traditional teaching often focuses on exams, many educators still believe that students’ creative thinking should also be developed. In a middle school in Guangzhou, teachers have designed special courses so far. For example, in art classes, students aren’t limited to drawing on paper. Instead, they are encouraged to use 3 materials like recycled plastic bottles to create works of art. “When we 4 students more freedom, they will show amazing creativity,” said Ms. Chen, an art teacher. Zhang Lei, a middle school student, used to feel 5 about studies. 6 , after joining the school’s creative club, he found a new passion. “Compared with traditional clubs, this club provides a more friendly environment where I can share ideas with friends,” he said. The club organizes activities 7 weekends in art galleries and science museums. The activities are so interesting 8 students can get inspiration from real - life experiences. There are many exciting things 9 for them. Educational experts point out that 10 home and school environments have an effect on students’ creativity.

I’m here today to tell you about my experience as 16 in the United States last year. I must admit that at first America was a big 17 for me. Many things were strange to me: the language, the food and even the school. I stayed with a 18 in a small town. My host parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hurst, were very kind. They 19 a lot of activities for me in my spare time so that I wouldn’t miss home or feel lonely. However, life in the US was hard to get used to. My main problem was with the language. I 20 to understand much in the first few weeks because everyone spoke so fast. Though I soon managed to get used to it, I still had problems because they used a lot of 21 . For example, they say “under the weather” when they are ill. Another difference was the food. My host family always had bread, potatoes and salad for meals. I really 22 the dumplings and rice from home. School was a shock too. They do not 23 students to wear uniforms, so students can wear almost whatever they like. Some even have pink or purple hair! Anyway, I have many great memories, especially playing baseball and 24 in the snow. At Halloween, I went to a party 25 as Harry Potter. It was a valuable education. Now I understand more about American culture, and this made me think about my own culture as well. 16．A．a teacher B．a worker C．a tourist D．an exchange student 17．A．adventure B．culture shock C．challenge D．game 18．A．friend B．relative C．host family D．classmate 19．A．organized B．ignored C．avoided D．discussed 20．A．tried B．failed C．decided D．pretended 21．A．jokes B．idioms C．stories D．songs 22．A．cooked B．missed C．hated D．forgot 23．A．require B．allow C．force D．remind 24．A．studying B．shopping C．playing D．working 25．A．dressed B．shown C．painted D．hidden 三、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分） A Travelling around the world can be exciting, but it can also be challenging and lead to culture shock and feelings of stress. When I moved to Tuscany, Italy, right after college, I fell in love with the scenery. Who wouldn’t be? The rolling hills, beautiful buildings and delicious food made the long flight worth every minute. I was excited about my new beginning. But then, I started to notice little things. As an American, we are used to a bit of personal space. Where I’m from, knocking into someone or standing very closely is considered quite impolite. This is different from the truth in Italy. Because there were no translation apps at that time, not knowing the language was also challenging. Sometimes, I would feel helpless. However, Italians like to speak with their hands—a habit I’ve carried over till this day. Gestures can express general ideas and feelings. Of course, just because you’ve experienced culture shock in one country doesn’t mean you won’t do so in another. Years later, when I moved to China, my experience was special. The culture there was something very foreign to me — down to how to buy things. Before moving there, I had never heard of WeChat or Alipay. I wasn’t prepared at all for how important these things would be. Experiencing small waves of culture shock reminds me that I am travelling around the world and that I should appreciate what I’m taking in. American-British writer Bill Bryson said that “…the greatest reward of travel is…to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar that it is taken for granted (被认为是理所当然的).” 26．What is the culture shock to the writer in Italy? A．Italians are hard to get on with. B．Italians stand quite closely to each other. C．Italian scenery is not as beautiful as imagined. D．Italians are against learning foreign languages. 27．________ helped the writer understand what Italians were saying. A．Translation apps B．Hand gestures C．Expressions D．Pictures 28．When arriving in China, the writer ________. A．began to buy many things online B．learned to speak Chinese C．experienced culture shock again D．used WeChat and Alipay well 29．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us? A．How to deal with different cultures. B．The trouble of travelling around the world. C．How to search for a best place to visit. D．The value of experiencing culture shock. 30．Which is the right structure of the passage? (①-Paragraph 1,②-Paragraph 2,... ) A． B． C． D． B Lunchtime in schools is very important in students’ daily lives. Let’s take a look at the differences between Chinese and American middle schools. In Chinese middle schools, students usually eat in cafeterias or classrooms. In many Chinese middle schools, students have a lunch break of 60 to 90 minutes. However, some city schools may shorten it to 40 minutes because their schedules are busier. This long break gives them enough time to eat. In southern China, where the weather is warmer, students often rest or sleep for a while after lunch. In many Chinese schools, school meals are made to follow healthy eating rules. They usually include rice, vegetables, meat, and soup to make sure students get enough energy. Eating together is fun! Students share food and talk happily. This helps them become better friends. Things are different in American middle schools. The lunch break is much shorter, only 20 to 30 minutes. Even though the time is short, lunchtime is still a great time to socialize. Students have many choices. They can buy food like pizza, sandwiches, or salads from the cafeteria. Some bring lunch from home, and others buy fast food outside, but this is only allowed in schools that let students leave campus. During lunch, many students talk with friends. Some students join clubs or do group activities, too. Both countries think lunchtime is important for energy and friendship. But the differences show different cultures. Chinese schools usually focus on group activities, while American schools often let students choose what they want to do. These differences are like a mirror. They show us China’s shared meals and America’s quick, individual food choices. Isn’t it interesting to see how lunchtime can tell so much about a culture? 31．Which two countries’ lunch customs are compared in the passage? A．China &Japan B．China &America C．America &France D．China &Britain 32．What do Chinese and American schools BOTH think about lunchtime? A．It should include a nap time. B．It helps students make friends. C．Students must eat cafeteria food. D．Teachers should join students. 33．Why does the author compare lunch customs in Chinese and American schools? A．To ask schools worldwide to have longer lunch breaks. B．To show how culture affects daily life and friendships. C．To say American cafeterias need more vegetables. D．To say Chinese meals are healthier than American fast food. 34．If Li Hua studies in the U. S., what should she prepare for during lunch? A．A container to keep soup warm. B．A long chat with new friends. C．Extra money for varied choices. D．Quick decisions about eating and activities. 35．Why does the author mention “sharing food” in Chinese schools? A．To criticize (指责) food waste. B．To highlight (强调) cultural traditions. C．To show a way of building closeness. D．To prove (证明) vegetables are more popular. C Culture shock is often described as feeling upset in a strange place that has customs different from your own. It’s very common for international students. Let’s take international students studying in the US for example. They may find culture shock experienced in the classroom harder to deal with. This is not only because they feel nervous about their ability to communicate in English, but also because they need to get used to a different style of learning, such as taking a discussion-based (基于讨论) class. And students’ grades on a big test are also not openly discussed, because they are personal information. Many international students report feeling OK with the occasional (偶尔的) embarrassing mistakes at a restaurant or store, but they start to feel strong culture shock when they are often faced with some uncomfortable or unfamiliar (不熟悉的) situations. “Americans are very outspoken about everything,” said Chau, a student from Vietnam. “I had a hard time adapting (适应) because sometimes I did not speak up about how I felt.” “When I first came to America from China, it was hard for me to understand that Americans drink ice water all year round. I can’t understand why drinking ice water in winter doesn’t make them cold,” said Jessica, another student. “It’s hard for me to get used to the fact that many banks and offices are closed on weekends,” she added. “This is sometimes inconvenient (不方便的) for me, because I don’t have time to deal with things during the working days.” Getting adapted to social customs is just one part of adapting to life in America. If international students plan to get work experience in a company, there is also the possibility (可能性) for culture shock at work, such as communicating in English by email, etc. No matter what the situation is, international students can try to use these tips to help them feel better and get over it. Stay positive, be social, know yourself and give yourself a break. 36．Why don’t students discuss grades openly in America? A．Because grades are private information. B．Because it’s hard to get high ones. C．Because they don’t care about grades. D．Because teachers won’t let them do so. 37．What does the underlined word “outspoken” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Showing no interest. B．Expressing one’s opinions freely. C．Discussing others’ ideas in detail. D．Speaking carefully about one’s feelings. 38．If Mark is an international student who just arrived in the US, he can do the following things EXCEPT ________. A．drinking ice water all year round B．communicating with others by email C．getting work experience in a company D．drawing money out of banks on Sunday 39．Who may be the most interested in this passage? A．Kevin, a young father looking for a job. B．Emily, a teen visiting an American friend. C．Tina, a student hoping to travel to the US. D．Jason, a man planning to study in America. 40．Which of the following can best describe the feelings of those international students? A．A piece of cake. B．An eye for an eye. C．A fish out of water. D．A drop in the ocean. 四、阅读填空（本大题共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 Last week, we talked about how some international students have few native friends when they study abroad. One study in the United States found that 38 percent of foreign students said they had no close American friends. 41 Elisabeth teaches in the Department of Communication Studies at Baruch College in New York. She suggests taking walks, going on bicycle, field or camping trips, and attending parties, sporting events or film festivals can help make more native friends. 42 She also suggests that foreign students share housing with American students. Michigan State University is known for its programs for international students. Last year, about 5900 students from 133 countries attended this university. 43 Peter Briggs directs the Office for International Students and Scholars at here. 44 . Many students and community members are trained and prepared to help foreign students. 45 Mr. Briggs says the volunteers also help answer the traditional questions of new people anywhere. He says that if the new students make friends as they begin school, they will start to feel part of the life and traditions of the university as well. A．The volunteers help new students solve problems in many different ways. B．Communications expert Elisabeth White studied more than 450 foreign students. C．She says such activities should be held to bring students together during the school term. D．They made up perhaps 12 percent of the total university population.

When I moved to Tuscany, Italy, right after college, I fell in love with the scenery. Who wouldn’t be? The rolling hills, beautiful buildings and delicious food made the long flight worth every minute. I was excited about my new beginning. But then, I started to notice little things. As an American, we are used to a bit of personal space. Where I’m from, knocking into someone or standing very closely is considered quite impolite. This is different from the truth in Italy. Because there were no translation apps at that time, not knowing the language was also challenging. Sometimes, I would feel helpless. However, Italians like to speak with their hands—a habit I’ve carried over till this day. Gestures can express general ideas and feelings. Of course, just because you’ve experienced culture shock in one country doesn’t mean you won’t do so in another. Years later, when I moved to China, my experience was special. The culture there was something very foreign to me — down to how to buy things. Before moving there, I had never heard of WeChat or Alipay. I wasn’t prepared at all for how important these things would be. Experiencing small waves of culture shock reminds me that I am travelling around the world and that I should appreciate what I’m taking in. American-British writer Bill Bryson said that “…the greatest reward of travel is…to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar that it is taken for granted (被认为是理所当然的).” 26．What is the culture shock to the writer in Italy? A．Italians are hard to get on with. B．Italians stand quite closely to each other. C．Italian scenery is not as beautiful as imagined. D．Italians are against learning foreign languages. 27．________ helped the writer understand what Italians were saying. A．Translation apps B．Hand gestures C．Expressions D．Pictures 28．When arriving in China, the writer ________. A．began to buy many things online B．learned to speak Chinese C．experienced culture shock again D．used WeChat and Alipay well 29．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us? A．How to deal with different cultures. B．The trouble of travelling around the world. C．How to search for a best place to visit. D．The value of experiencing culture shock. 30．Which is the right structure of the passage? (①-Paragraph 1,②-Paragraph 2,... ) A． B． C． D． B Lunchtime in schools is very important in students’ daily lives. Let’s take a look at the differences between Chinese and American middle schools. In Chinese middle schools, students usually eat in cafeterias or classrooms. In many Chinese middle schools, students have a lunch break of 60 to 90 minutes. However, some city schools may shorten it to 40 minutes because their schedules are busier. This long break gives them enough time to eat. In southern China, where the weather is warmer, students often rest or sleep for a while after lunch. In many Chinese schools, school meals are made to follow healthy eating rules. They usually include rice, vegetables, meat, and soup to make sure students get enough energy. Eating together is fun! Students share food and talk happily. This helps them become better friends. Things are different in American middle schools. The lunch break is much shorter, only 20 to 30 minutes. Even though the time is short, lunchtime is still a great time to socialize. Students have many choices. They can buy food like pizza, sandwiches, or salads from the cafeteria. Some bring lunch from home, and others buy fast food outside, but this is only allowed in schools that let students leave campus. During lunch, many students talk with friends. Some students join clubs or do group activities, too. Both countries think lunchtime is important for energy and friendship. But the differences show different cultures. Chinese schools usually focus on group activities, while American schools often let students choose what they want to do. These differences are like a mirror. They show us China’s shared meals and America’s quick, individual food choices. Isn’t it interesting to see how lunchtime can tell so much about a culture? 31．Which two countries’ lunch customs are compared in the passage? A．China &Japan B．China &America C．America &France D．China &Britain 32．What do Chinese and American schools BOTH think about lunchtime? A．It should include a nap time. B．It helps students make friends. C．Students must eat cafeteria food. D．Teachers should join students. 33．Why does the author compare lunch customs in Chinese and American schools? A．To ask schools worldwide to have longer lunch breaks. B．To show how culture affects daily life and friendships. C．To say American cafeterias need more vegetables. D．To say Chinese meals are healthier than American fast food. 34．If Li Hua studies in the U. S., what should she prepare for during lunch? A．A container to keep soup warm. B．A long chat with new friends. C．Extra money for varied choices. D．Quick decisions about eating and activities. 35．Why does the author mention “sharing food” in Chinese schools? A．To criticize (指责) food waste. B．To highlight (强调) cultural traditions. C．To show a way of building closeness. D．To prove (证明) vegetables are more popular. C Culture shock is often described as feeling upset in a strange place that has customs different from your own. It’s very common for international students. Let’s take international students studying in the US for example. They may find culture shock experienced in the classroom harder to deal with. This is not only because they feel nervous about their ability to communicate in English, but also because they need to get used to a different style of learning, such as taking a discussion-based (基于讨论) class. And students’ grades on a big test are also not openly discussed, because they are personal information. Many international students report feeling OK with the occasional (偶尔的) embarrassing mistakes at a restaurant or store, but they start to feel strong culture shock when they are often faced with some uncomfortable or unfamiliar (不熟悉的) situations. “Americans are very outspoken about everything,” said Chau, a student from Vietnam. “I had a hard time adapting (适应) because sometimes I did not speak up about how I felt.” “When I first came to America from China, it was hard for me to understand that Americans drink ice water all year round. I can’t understand why drinking ice water in winter doesn’t make them cold,” said Jessica, another student. “It’s hard for me to get used to the fact that many banks and offices are closed on weekends,” she added. “This is sometimes inconvenient (不方便的) for me, because I don’t have time to deal with things during the working days.” Getting adapted to social customs is just one part of adapting to life in America. If international students plan to get work experience in a company, there is also the possibility (可能性) for culture shock at work, such as communicating in English by email, etc. No matter what the situation is, international students can try to use these tips to help them feel better and get over it. Stay positive, be social, know yourself and give yourself a break. 36．Why don’t students discuss grades openly in America? A．Because grades are private information. B．Because it’s hard to get high ones. C．Because they don’t care about grades. D．Because teachers won’t let them do so. 37．What does the underlined word “outspoken” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Showing no interest. B．Expressing one’s opinions freely. C．Discussing others’ ideas in detail. D．Speaking carefully about one’s feelings. 38．If Mark is an international student who just arrived in the US, he can do the following things EXCEPT ________. A．drinking ice water all year round B．communicating with others by email C．getting work experience in a company D．drawing money out of banks on Sunday 39．Who may be the most interested in this passage? A．Kevin, a young father looking for a job. B．Emily, a teen visiting an American friend. C．Tina, a student hoping to travel to the US. D．Jason, a man planning to study in America. 40．Which of the following can best describe the feelings of those international students? A．A piece of cake. B．An eye for an eye. C．A fish out of water. D．A drop in the ocean. 四、阅读填空（本大题共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 Last week, we talked about how some international students have few native friends when they study abroad. One study in the United States found that 38 percent of foreign students said they had no close American friends. 41 Elisabeth teaches in the Department of Communication Studies at Baruch College in New York. She suggests taking walks, going on bicycle, field or camping trips, and attending parties, sporting events or film festivals can help make more native friends. 42 She also suggests that foreign students share housing with American students. Michigan State University is known for its programs for international students. Last year, about 5900 students from 133 countries attended this university. 43 Peter Briggs directs the Office for International Students and Scholars at here. 44 . Many students and community members are trained and prepared to help foreign students. 45 Mr. Briggs says the volunteers also help answer the traditional questions of new people anywhere. He says that if the new students make friends as they begin school, they will start to feel part of the life and traditions of the university as well. A．The volunteers help new students solve problems in many different ways. B．Communications expert Elisabeth White studied more than 450 foreign students.

Middle school is 1 important stage for students to develop creativity. 2 traditional teaching often focuses on exams, many educators still believe that students’ creative thinking should also be developed.

Zhang Lei, a middle school student, used to feel 5 about studies. 6 , after joining the school’s creative club, he found a new passion. “Compared with traditional clubs, this club provides a more friendly environment where I can share ideas with friends,” he said. The club organizes activities 7 weekends in art galleries and science museums. The activities are so interesting 8 students can get inspiration from real - life experiences. There are many exciting things 9 for them. Educational experts point out that 10 home and school environments have an effect on students’ creativity. Parents are advised to be patient and allow their children 11 new things.

When I moved to Tuscany, Italy, right after college, I fell in love with the scenery. Who wouldn’t be? The rolling hills, beautiful buildings and delicious food made the long flight worth every minute. I was excited about my new beginning. But then, I started to notice little things. As an American, we are used to a bit of personal space. Where I’m from, knocking into someone or standing very closely is considered quite impolite. This is different from the truth in Italy. Because there were no translation apps at that time, not knowing the language was also challenging. Sometimes, I would feel helpless. However, Italians like to speak with their hands—a habit I’ve carried over till this day. Gestures can express general ideas and feelings. Of course, just because you’ve experienced culture shock in one country doesn’t mean you won’t do so in another. Years later, when I moved to China, my experience was special. The culture there was something very foreign to me — down to how to buy things. Before moving there, I had never heard of WeChat or Alipay. I wasn’t prepared at all for how important these things would be. Experiencing small waves of culture shock reminds me that I am travelling around the world and that I should appreciate what I’m taking in. American-British writer Bill Bryson said that “…the greatest reward of travel is…to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar that it is taken for granted (被认为是理所当然的).” 26．What is the culture shock to the writer in Italy? A．Italians are hard to get on with. B．Italians stand quite closely to each other. C．Italian scenery is not as beautiful as imagined. D．Italians are against learning foreign languages. 27．________ helped the writer understand what Italians were saying. A．Translation apps B．Hand gestures C．Expressions D．Pictures 28．When arriving in China, the writer ________. A．began to buy many things online B．learned to speak Chinese C．experienced culture shock again D．used WeChat and Alipay well 29．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us? A．How to deal with different cultures. B．The trouble of travelling around the world. C．How to search for a best place to visit. D．The value of experiencing culture shock. 30．Which is the right structure of the passage? (①-Paragraph 1,②-Paragraph 2,... ) A． B． C． D． 【答案】26．B 27．B 28．C 29．D 30．A 【导语】本文结合作者自己的经历，主要讲述了讲述了自己在国外旅行时遭遇的文化冲击及其价值。 26．细节理解题。根据“Where I’m from, knocking into someone or standing very closely is considered quite impolite. This is different from the truth in Italy.”可知在意大利，人们站的很近，这和作者的家乡不一样。故选B。 27．细节理解题。根据“Italians like to speak with their hands—a habit I’ve carried over till this day. Gestures can express general ideas and feelings.”可知手势帮助作者理解意大利人在说什么。故选B。 28．推理判断题。根据“Years later, when I moved to China, my experience was special. The culture there was something very foreign to me”可知几年后，当作者回到中国时，那里的文化对作者来说很陌生，可见作者又经历了文化冲击。故选C。 29．主旨大意题。根据“ the greatest reward of travel is…to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar that it is taken for granteds … to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar that it is taken for granted”可知，此处是在解释经历不同文化的价值所在。故选D。 30．篇章结构题。第一段提出文化冲击这个话题；第二三四段介绍了作者在意大利所经历的文化冲击；第五第六段介绍了作者重新回到中国的经历；第七段总结经历不同文化的价值。故选项A符合文章结构。故选A。 B Lunchtime in schools is very important in students’ daily lives. Let’s take a look at the differences between Chinese and American middle schools. In Chinese middle schools, students usually eat in cafeterias or classrooms. In many Chinese middle schools, students have a lunch break of 60 to 90 minutes. However, some city schools may shorten it to 40 minutes because their schedules are busier. This long break gives them enough time to eat. In southern China, where the weather is warmer, students often rest or sleep for a while after lunch. In many Chinese schools, school meals are made to follow healthy eating rules. They usually include rice, vegetables, meat, and soup to make sure students get enough energy. Eating together is fun! Students share food and talk happily. This helps them become better friends. Things are different in American middle schools. The lunch break is much shorter, only 20 to 30 minutes. Even though the time is short, lunchtime is still a great time to socialize. Students have many choices. They can buy food like pizza, sandwiches, or salads from the cafeteria. Some bring lunch from home, and others buy fast food outside, but this is only allowed in schools that let students leave campus. During lunch, many students talk with friends. Some students join clubs or do group activities, too. Both countries think lunchtime is important for energy and friendship. But the differences show different cultures. Chinese schools usually focus on group activities, while American schools often let students choose what they want to do. These differences are like a mirror. They show us China’s shared meals and America’s quick, individual food choices. Isn’t it interesting to see how lunchtime can tell so much about a culture? 31．Which two countries’ lunch customs are compared in the passage? A．China &Japan B．China &America C．America &France D．China &Britain 32．What do Chinese and American schools BOTH think about lunchtime? A．It should include a nap time. B．It helps students make friends. C．Students must eat cafeteria food. D．Teachers should join students. 33．Why does the author compare lunch customs in Chinese and American schools? A．To ask schools worldwide to have longer lunch breaks. B．To show how culture affects daily life and friendships. C．To say American cafeterias need more vegetables. D．To say Chinese meals are healthier than American fast food. 34．If Li Hua studies in the U. S., what should she prepare for during lunch? A．A container to keep soup warm. B．A long chat with new friends. C．Extra money for varied choices. D．Quick decisions about eating and activities. 35．Why does the author mention “sharing food” in Chinese schools? A．To criticize (指责) food waste. B．To highlight (强调) cultural traditions. C．To show a way of building closeness. D．To prove (证明) vegetables are more popular. 【答案】31．B 32．B 33．B 34．D 35．C 【导语】本文通过对比中国和美国中学的午餐时间，说明两种文化在饮食习惯、社交方式和学校管理上的不同特点，而且午餐时间对学生能量补充和友谊发展很重要。 31．细节理解题。根据“Let’ s take a look at the differences between Chinese and American middle schools.”可知是比较了中国和美国中学的午餐习俗。故选B。 32．细节理解题。根据“Both countries think lunchtime is important for energy and friendship”可知中国和美国学校都认为午餐时间有助于学生交朋友。故选B。 33．细节理解题。根据“These differences are like a mirror. They show us China’s shared meals and America’s quick, individual food choices. Isn’t it interesting to see how lunchtime can tell so much about a culture”可知作者比较中美学校午餐习俗的目的是展示文化如何影响日常生活和友谊。故选B。 34．细节理解题。根据“In American middle schools, the lunch break is much shorter, only 20 to 30 minutes... Students have many choices... During lunch, many students talk with friends. Some students join clubs or do group activities, too.”可知在美国中学，午餐时间很短，学生需要快速决定吃什么和做什么活动。故选D。 35．推理判断题。根据“Students share food and talk happily. This helps them become better friends.”可知通过一起吃饭和分享食物，学生们可以更好地交流并成为朋友，即为了展示一种建立亲密关系的方式。故选C。 C Culture shock is often described as feeling upset in a strange place that has customs different from your own. It’s very common for international students. Let’s take international students studying in the US for example. They may find culture shock experienced in the classroom harder to deal with. This is not only because they feel nervous about their ability to communicate in English, but also because they need to get used to a different style of learning, such as taking a discussion-based (基于讨论) class. And students’ grades on a big test are also not openly discussed, because they are personal information. Many international students report feeling OK with the occasional (偶尔的) embarrassing mistakes at a restaurant or store, but they start to feel strong culture shock when they are often faced with some uncomfortable or unfamiliar (不熟悉的) situations. “Americans are very outspoken about everything,” said Chau, a student from Vietnam. “I had a hard time adapting (适应) because sometimes I did not speak up about how I felt.” “When I first came to America from China, it was hard for me to understand that Americans drink ice water all year round. I can’t understand why drinking ice water in winter doesn’t make them cold,” said Jessica, another student. “It’s hard for me to get used to the fact that many banks and offices are closed on weekends,” she added. “This is sometimes inconvenient (不方便的) for me, because I don’t have time to deal with things during the working days.” Getting adapted to social customs is just one part of adapting to life in America. If international students plan to get work experience in a company, there is also the possibility (可能性) for culture shock at work, such as communicating in English by email, etc. No matter what the situation is, international students can try to use these tips to help them feel better and get over it. Stay positive, be social, know yourself and give yourself a break. 36．Why don’t students discuss grades openly in America? A．Because grades are private information. B．Because it’s hard to get high ones. C．Because they don’t care about grades. D．Because teachers won’t let them do so. 37．What does the underlined word “outspoken” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Showing no interest. B．Expressing one’s opinions freely. C．Discussing others’ ideas in detail. D．Speaking carefully about one’s feelings. 38．If Mark is an international student who just arrived in the US, he can do the following things EXCEPT ________. A．drinking ice water all year round B．communicating with others by email C．getting work experience in a company D．drawing money out of banks on Sunday 39．Who may be the most interested in this passage? A．Kevin, a young father looking for a job. B．Emily, a teen visiting an American friend. C．Tina, a student hoping to travel to the US. D．Jason, a man planning to study in America. 40．Which of the following can best describe the feelings of those international students? A．A piece of cake. B．An eye for an eye. C．A fish out of water. D．A drop in the ocean. 【答案】36．A 37．B 38．D 39．D 40．C 【导语】本文是说明文。主要围绕文化冲击展开，以在美国留学的国际学生为例，介绍了他们在课堂、社交等不同场景下可能遇到的文化冲击，并给出了相应的适应建议。 36．细节理解题。根据“And students’ grades on a big test are also not openly discussed, because they are personal information.”可知，美国学生成绩不公开，是因为它们是个人信息。故选A。 37．词义猜测题。根据后文越南学生Chau的话“I had a hard time adapting (适应) because sometimes I did not speak up about how I felt”可推测，“outspoken”应与“speak up about how I felt”相关，指美国人对所有事情都能自由地表达观点。“Expressing one’s opinions freely” 符合语境。故选B。 38． 细节理解题。根据“‘It’s hard for me to get used to the fact that many banks and offices are closed on weekends,’ she added. ‘This is sometimes inconvenient (不方便的) for me, because I don’t have time to deal with things during the working days.’”可知，在美国，周末的时候银行不营业。所以如果Mark是刚到达美国的一名国际学生，那么他难以在周末从银行取钱。故选D。 39． 推理判断题。通读全文，本文主要讲述了国际学生常见的一些文化冲击。故计划在美国学习的Jason会对这篇文章感兴趣。故选D。 40．推理判断题。根据“Culture shock is often described as feeling upset in a strange place that has customs different from your own. It’s very common for international students.”可知，那些学生受文化冲击的影响，通常会感到不安。故这种感觉可以用“A fish out of water. (不得其所)”来形容。故选C。 四、阅读填空（本大题共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 Last week, we talked about how some international students have few native friends when they study abroad. One study in the United States found that 38 percent of foreign students said they had no close American friends. 41 Elisabeth teaches in the Department of Communication Studies at Baruch College in New York. She suggests taking walks, going on bicycle, field or camping trips, and attending parties, sporting events or film festivals can help make more native friends. 42 She also suggests that foreign students share housing with American students. Michigan State University is known for its programs for international students. Last year, about 5900 students from 133 countries attended this university. 43 Peter Briggs directs the Office for International Students and Scholars at here. 44 . Many students and community members are trained and prepared to help foreign students. 45 Mr. Briggs says the volunteers also help answer the traditional questions of new people anywhere. He says that if the new students make friends as they begin school, they will start to feel part of the life and traditions of the university as well. A．The volunteers help new students solve problems in many different ways. B．Communications expert Elisabeth White studied more than 450 foreign students.
