课时作业(四):Comprehensive Test for Unit 4
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Last year, I lived in Chile for half a year. I lived with a Chilean family and had the responsibilities of any Chilean teenager. I had good days and bad days I didn't understand.
Chuquicamata, my host community, is a mining camp. When I arrived there, I was scared. It was so different from what I was used to. There were lots of dogs on the streets, and there was no downtown, few smoothly paved streets, and little to do for entertainment. Rain was not seen very often, earthquakes and windstorms were frequent.
I had studied Spanish for two and a half years and was always one of the best students in my class. But in my first week in Chile I was only able to communicate and needed one person to whom I could explain my shock. I couldn't speak the thoughts in my head and there were so many.
Most exchange students experience this like me. Culture shock presents itself in everything from increased aggression towards the people to lack of appetite (食欲). I was required to overcome all difficulties.
As time passed, everything changed. I began to forget the words in English and to dream in Spanish and love Chilean food. I got used to not depending on expensive things for fun. Fun in Chuquicamata was being with people. And I took math. Physics chemistry, biology, Spanish, art, and philosophy.
But the sacrifices were nothing compared to the gain. I learned how to accept and to succeed in another culture. I now have a deeper understanding of both myself and others.
1.The author came to Chile last year with the purpose of ________.
A.paying a visit to Chile as a tourist
B.experiencing Chilean life as a teacher
C.studying Chilean culture as a college student
D.studying knowledge as an exchange student
2.On arriving in Chile, why did the author feel frightened?
A.Because he did not know how to get along with the local people.
B.Because it was full of dangers like earthquakes and windstorms.
C.Because the living conditions were worse than what he was used to.
D.Because it was not convenient for him to shop there.
3.What did the author most probably think of his life in Chile?
A.Wonderful and worthwhile.
B.Difficult but meaningful.
C.Difficult and meaning.
D.Boring and disappointing.
4.Which of the following statements about Chile is TRUE?

参考范文:
The terrible Typhoon Morakot brought the worst flooding in 50 years to southern Taiwan, killing more than 460 people with scores of people injured or missing. It caused great damage to the area. The heavy rainfall caused rivers to break their banks, washing away bridges. What's worse, roads were blocked and electricity was completely cut off. More than 10,000 houses were destroyed. Consequently, the economic losses are estimated to be more than 9.7 billion yuan. Officials said Taiwan's military went all out for the rescue work, and about 300 people were rescued from the floodstricken area.
