I sat down,with food on my lap,waiting to watch a movie.It sounds like a typical Friday night at
home,but this time it was not.I was sitting down in a theatre of over 300 Filipinos speaking their
native tongues.We were watching a film named Ulam:Main Dish.It was directed by a Filipino-
American director,and it's about Filipino/Filipino-American food.
Right before the film began,I was caught in this realization:this is a film created by my people,
for my people and about my people,and shared with an audience much larger than just us.This was
the first time I had ever experienced a film of this nature.I could understand its stories and culture.
The theatre went dark and before the film rolled,my eyes already overflowed ()with pride.
I was watching this film at the Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival.At this year's
festival,I joined the Reel Asian team as their Social Media Assistant.This meant that during the
festival I could actually get to speak to the film-makers,actors,producers,etc.Particularly,I had the
chance to speak to film-makers about why a festival like this is important to them.
Through talking with them,I learned that there is something really unique about the Toronto
Reel Asian International Film Festival.It brings good Asian cinema a home in what is known as an
incredibly diverse city,allowing these stories to be told to a diverse audience of diverse views.
For anyone looking to find themselves in a film,learn more about other cultures,and enjoy a good
movie,I truly believe that Reel Asian is the place to be.As an annual event,it's so well planned and
organized,and so much expectation is being built.
24.How did the author probably feel while watching the movie?
A.She found the faces in the film strange.
B.She realized making a film was really hard.
C.She became very proud of being an American.
D.She could relate to the cultural information of the movie.

Liverpool,my hometown,is a unique city.It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World
Heritage Site.
I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was at a museum on the River Mersey.
Blanketed in mist(),Victorian architecture rose from the banks of the river,responded to the
sounds of sea-birds,and appeared unbelievably charming.When I headed toward the centre,I found
myself surrounded by buildings that mirror the best palaces of Europe.It is not hard to imagine why,
on first seeing the city,most visitors would be overpowered by the beauty of the noble buildings,
which are solid signs of Liverpool's history.
As if to stress its cultural role,Liverpool has more museums and galleries()than most
cities in Britain.At Walker Art Gallery,I was told that it has best collections of Victorian paintings
in the world,and is the home of modern art in the north of England.However,culture is more than
galleries.Liverpool offers many music events.As Britain's No.1 music city,it has the biggest city
music festival in Europe,and its musicians are famous all over the world.Liverpool is also well-
known for its football and other sports events.Every year,the Mersey River Festival attracts
thousands of visitors,making the city a place of wonder.
As you would expect from such a city,there are restaurants serving food from around the world.
When my trip was about to complete,I chose to rest my legs in Liverpool's famous Philharmonic pub
()It is a monument to perfection,and a heritage attraction itself.
Being a World Heritage Site,my home city is certainly a place of "outstanding universal value".
It is a treasure house with plenty of secrets for the world to explore.

Specialists(专家)say it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture.“Culture shock”is what
these specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment.There are
three stages of culture shock,say the specialists.In the first stage,the newcomers like their new
environment.Then,when the fresh experience dies,they begin to hate the city,the country,the
people,and everything else.In the last stage,the newcomers begin to get used to their surroundings
and,as a result,enjoy their life more.
There are some evident factors (in culture shock.The weather may be unpleasant.The
customs may be different.The public service systems-the telephones,post office,or
transportation-may be difficult to work out.The simplest things seem to be big problems.The
language may be difficult.
Who feels culture shock?Everyone does in this way or that.But culture shock surprises most
people.Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties
in their own country.Coming to a new country,these people find they do not have the same positions
they have back home.They find themselves without any identity.They have to build a new self-
image.
Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of helplessness.This feeling may be homesickness.When
homesick,people feel like staying inside all the time.They want to protect themselves from the
strange environment,and create an escape inside their room for a sense of security ()This
escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short time,but it does nothing to make the
person familiar with the culture.Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience-these
are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.
32.When people move to a new country,they
A.will get used to their new surroundings with difficulty
B.have well prepared for the new surroundings
C.will get used to the culture of the country quickly
D.will never be familiar with culture of the country
33.According to the passage,factors that give rise to culture shock include all of the following except
A.language communication
B.weather conditions and customs
C.public service systems
D.homesickness
34.According to the passage,the more successful you are at home,
A.the fewer difficulties you may have abroad
B.the more difficulties you may have abroad
C.the more money you will earn abroad
D.the less homesick you may feel abroad
35.The writer tells us that the best way to overcome culture shock is to
A.protect ourselves from unfamiliar environment
B.develop a strange sense of self-protection
C.get familiar with new culture
D.return to our own country

Long ago,there was a big apple tree.A little boy loved to come and play around it every day.He
climbed to the top of the tree,ate the apples,and took a nap under the shadow...He loved the tree
and the tree also enjoyed playing with him.
As time went by,the little boy grew up and he no longer played around the tree.
One day,the boy came back to the tree,appearing sad."Come and play with me,"the tree asked
the boy gently.
"I am no longer a kid;I won't play around trees anymore,"the boy replied."I want toys.I need
money to buy them.”
"Sorry,but don't have money.However,you can pick all my apples and sell them.Then,you
will have money.The boy was so excited that he picked all the apples on the tree and left happily.
The boy didn't come hack after that.The tree was upset.
One day,the boy returned and the tree was so joyful."Come and play with me,the tree said.
"I don't have time to play.I have to work for my family.We need a house for shelter.Can you
help me?""Sorry,I don't have a house.But you can cut off my branches to build your house.So the
boy cut all the branches of the tree and left with delight.
The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy hadn't appeared since then.The tree was again
lonely and sad.
One hot summer day,the boy returned and the tree was delighted."Come and play with me!"the

you all his money that day."Then,they helped the man stand up,and the man told the
woman,"I followed you to make sure that no one steals your son's school fees."The

第二节
参考范文
Many years later,the boy finally returned.Feeling tired,he went to see the apple
tree.At the sight of him,the tree said regretfully:"I'm sorry,boy,but now I no longer
have anything for you,no apples,no trunk.""It doesn't matter.I have no intention of
getting anything from you this time.As you know,I'm getting old and nothing is better
than a comfortable place to rest,"said the boy.Hearing this,the tree smiled with relief,
adding:"My dying trunk is the right one for you.Please come here and have a seat."
The boy did as told and the tree burst into tears,due to the fact that she could still
devote herself to her boy.
The apple tree is our mother.When we are young,she does her utmost to take care
of us and play with us.When we grow up,we leave her for some reason and only come
back when necessary or in trouble.But she is always there,waiting for us and ready to
offer what she owns without complaint.Never does she ask for rewards;instead,it is
our happiness that she desires.So,try to put ourselves in her shoes and learn to show
concern for her.
