In years past, many people would travel over New Year's Eve and immerse themselves in a different culture.Countries around the world celebrate the new year with unique customs and traditions carried out at the celebration.
Japan: Eat toshikoshi soba
Shiwasu is the endoftheyear period in Japan.To celebrate New Year's Eve, people eat “yearcrossing” soba, which can symbolize having a long and fortunate life along with a clean break from the year.However, when eaten at midnight, there's a certain cross of the old and the new year, thus you cannot “break off” all of last year's troubles properly but instead carry them over to the following year.
Russia: Burn, then drink your wishes
After a year of ruined dreams and canceled plans, set your sights on a fresh start with this Russian tradition.Before midnight, write down your wishes on a piece of paper, then light the paper on fire.Once it's stopped burning, spread the wishfilled ashes into a glass of champagne and drink up shortly after the clock completes striking midnight.
Spain: Eat 12 grapes
Perhaps the easiest tradition to carry out is eating grapes for good luck.When the clock starts striking at midnight, eat one with each ringing sound.Better if you're wearing special New Year's Eve underwear while eating your grapes.A pair of red underwear can bring you a new year of love, while yellow may bring joy and fortune.
Greece: Hang some onions
If you've been cooking, maybe you have some onions around the house to spare for this tradition.In Greece, onions symbolize rebirth, so people hang them up on their doors on Dec.31 to encourage a year of growth.Keep the Greek traditions going by baking a special cake on New Year's Day.Hide a coin in the cake and share it with your loved ones — whoever finds the coin is said to have a year of good luck.

“Staging Dunhuang” is the opening exhibition of Dunhuang Contemporary Art Museum.
Supported by Dunhuang Museum and other institutes, the exhibition consists of four parts:“History” “Nature” “Reproduction” and “Mind”. The exhibition features precious art works.Organizers are looking to explore the relationship between historical collections and artistic creation.Through the perspectives of geography, nature, and technology, the exhibition aims to focus on the art of Mogao Grottoes (莫高窟) as a model for the production of contemporary culture and visual experience.
The museum's outside is a reminder of Dunhuang's natural landscape with its windblown sand hills and arched grottoes, echoing the aesthetic elements of Dunhuang's frescoes (湿壁画).Its inside design is also impressive as it borrows elements of the natural scenery in Dunhuang.By burning incense (燃香) from Dunhuang, the whole exhibition hall is full of a special scent.Separate small rooms refer to Dunhuang caves, inviting visitors to rethink Dunhuang across time and geography.
“When mentioning Dunhuang art, we immediately think of the Mogao Grottoes,” said Wu Hong, chief consultant of the exhibition.“But Dunhuang art is more than that.Dunhuang is a larger sociogeographical space.The Mogao Grottoes, a group of carvings located 25 kilometers south of Dunhuang, is only one part of this geographic space.”
With videos and interactive installations, the exhibition presents the profound and unique charm of Dunhuang culture.Say for example that Chen Zhihao and Zhou Zhenru use light and shadow to rediscover the Mogao Cave's “Lapa Lamp Burning Ceremony.” Their work “A River of Stars” is based on a draft painted by the Russian Oldenburg exploration.The digital work brings a moving scene from Dunhuang's history back to life.
The exhibition is like an experiment in the creation of new fields and images through the dialogue between the history and the modern technology.

One side effect of globalization and the related phenomenon of greatly increased mobility (流动性) is that the_traditional_definition_of_“foreigner”_has_passed_its_“best_before_date”.
Is a European who has lived in China longer than in his home country, becoming fluent in the language and knowing the culture well in the process, still a foreigner in China, or has he become more of a foreigner in his own hometown? What about a Beijinger who had her schooling in Canada and then lived and worked there for another 20 years while raising a family who has no intention of returning to China?Does she think and act like a foreigner? What do we mean by this label (标签)?
When I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, the faces I would see during a walk through a local shopping mall back in the 1960s and 1970s included almost none of Asian descent (血统).Today the local malls are full of Asian faces, and a glance at the ranks of top scoring students in local schools reveals lots of Asian surnames.
To some extent, this is no great surprise in the American context, because America is a land of immigrants, and a cultural melting pot. Apart from the native American Indians, Americans are (or were), in some way, all foreigners anyway.Absorbing a large number of immigrants is an established pattern in American history.
In most places, the traditional foreigners were people who didn't speak or read the local languages well and were unfamiliar with local customs and lifestyles. But, nowadays, a foreigner walking down the street may have better SAT scores than you, or a higher degree from a better university.
The traditional role models are getting mixed up, and it looks like this is just the beginning of a new chapter. Today, the whole thing has totally changed. It's not about where people are from or what color their skins are. It's about who they are, what values and skills they bring, and how they think.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文,主要论述了随着全球化的发展和人口流动性的大幅增加,传统意义上的“外国人”的概念已发生了根本性的变化,人们需要对此重新定义。
12.What does the underlined part in paragraph 1 mean?
A.The term “foreigner” should be redefined.
B.The term “foreigner” should no longer be used.
C.There are no more foreigners in the world today.
D.The term “foreigner” is not proper to define people.
解析:选A 句意理解题。分析第一段的内容可知,画线部分表示传统意义上对于“外国人”的定义已经“过期”。由此可知,如今对“外国人”的定义已发生了很大的变化,应重新定义“外国人”一词。故选A。
13.What does the author tend to tell us by mentioning a European and a Beijinger?
A.It's no longer proper to define foreigners according to their birthplaces.
B.The label of foreigners can never be removed.
C.Most foreigners can do well in learning languages.
D.It's impossible for a foreigner to get recognition abroad.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据第一段的内容及第二段中列举的一个欧洲人和一个北京人的例子可推出,根据出生地来定义“外国人”已经不合时宜了。故选A。
14.What can be inferred from the third paragraph?
A.In 1960s and 1970s, Asians didn't shop in Chicago.
B.Today, more and more Asian travellers like to shop in Chicago.
C.There are more Asian people today than in the 1960s and 1970s in Chicago.
D.Most Asian students do well academically in the schools in Chicago.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可推出,当今在芝加哥的亚洲人比20世纪60年代和70年代多。故选C。
15.What's the main idea of the text?
A.Globalization and mobility have caused more and more immigrants.
B.The standards of defining “foreigner” have thoroughly changed.
C.America is a cultural melting pot.
D.Immigration is a global social phenomenon.
解析:选B 主旨大意题。本文主要叙述了随着全球化的发展和全球人口流动性大幅增加,传统的对“外国人”的定义已发生了巨大的变化,应该重新定义。而且“foreigner”一词贯穿全文。故选B。

Culture shock refers to the anxiety and feelings (of surprise, uncertainty, confusion, etc.) people feel when they have to operate within a different and unknown cultural or social environment, such as a foreign country.
Generally speaking, we could say that there are four stages of culture shock. The first stage is called “the honeymoon”. In this stage, you are excited about living in a different place. __16__
The next stage is “the hostility (敌意) stage”. In this stage, you begin to notice not everything is as good as you originally thought it was. __17__ Moreover, people don't treat you like a guest anymore.
Then you come to the third stage called “recovery”. In this stage, you start to feel more positive. __18__ The whole situation starts to become more favorable and you begin to learn to adapt yourself to it.
The last stage of culture shock is called “adjustment”. In this stage, you have reached a point where you actually feel good. You have learned enough to understand the new culture. The things that originally (起初) made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand. __19__
Not all individuals visiting another country will experience all these four stages. __20__ It also occurs within cultures as individuals move from place to place or from one setting to another (e.g., from high school to college).

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Emily is a sixthgrade student in a small town.She is a curious and adventurous girl who always dreams of exploring new places.Last summer, her dream came true when she got selected for a student exchange program to visit China.
Emily was super excited, but she knew that going to a different country with a brand new culture might not be easy.When she arrived in China, she had an open heart and lots of hope, but the cultural differences, the language barrier, and the unfamiliar surroundings made her feel a bit overwhelmed.
On her first day at a Chinese school, she felt like she was in a completely different world.The students spoke a language she couldn't understand, and the way things worked in the classroom was very different from back home.During lunchtime, poor Emily sat all by herself in a corner of the cafeteria, feeling lost and lonely.Just then, a friendly Chinese girl came up to her with a warm smile and said, “Hello, my name is Li Shanshan.I noticed you're new here.Would you like to be our friend?”
Emily was so relieved and thankful for the friendly offer.“Thank you,” she replied with a big smile.“I'm Emily, and I'm really happy to meet you.”
Shanshan introduced Emily to her group of friends, and they all welcomed her with open arms.They helped Emily with her Chinese language, taught her about Chinese customs, and shared their favorite Chinese foods.Slowly but surely, Emily started to feel more comfortable and understand the Chinese culture better.
One day, as the English teacher was planning her class schedule, she came up with an idea.She decided to assign each student in the class to do a presentation about their hometowns the next week.She believed this could be a great way for the students to learn about different cultures and improve their public speaking skills.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Emily was glad to do this but she didn't know how to prepare.
____________________________________________________________________________
The day finally came and it was Emily's turn to make the presentation.
___________________________________________________________________________
参考范文:
Emily was glad to do this but she didn't know how to prepare.Knowing that, Shanshan stepped in to help Emily with her presentation.With Shanshan's guidance, Emily decided to start by making a list of key points about her hometown, such as its location, population, and famous landmarks.She also wrote interesting facts and traditions that she thought would attract the classmates' attention.They practiced together, and Shanshan even taught her some key phrases in Chinese to make her presentation more appealing.As the days passed, Emily's confidence grew, and she became more comfortable speaking in front of an audience.
The day finally came and it was Emily's turn to make the presentation.She was feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness as she walked to the front of the classroom.She took a deep breath, looked at her classmates, and began her presentation.She spoke passionately about the beautiful landscapes, the friendly people and the unique cultural events.The students listened attentively and asked questions, showing their interest in her culture.Not only were they impressed by her presentation but they were also touched by the strong bond of friendship she had formed with Shanshan.Emily felt a sense of accomplishment, experiencing the warmth of friendship in a foreign land.
