There are many changes that can happen in a person’s life. Some changes are very small and would not affect your life very much. However, other events could be very important and could change a person’s whole life. The important event that changed my life is coming to the United States to study.
When I first arrived in this country, I realized that a great transformation (转变) would happen in my life both physically and mentally. After spending more than two months in the United States, I firmly believe that moving to the United States is a beneficial change for me. This change provides me with a chance to lead a healthy lifestyle as well as a new way of thinking that is important for me.
It is necessary to have this change as it offers me a healthy lifestyle. Before coming to the United States, I used to stay up late at night to study and wake up early in the morning. This could cause me to get sick easily. When I decided to come to America, I made up my mind and determined to keep a healthy routine. For example, I enjoy the American-style meal which includes having a fresh salad instead of cooked vegetables. This method of cooking vegetables helps me absorb more vitamins from them.
Additionally, this most important change enables me to think differently and internationally. This is my first time living in a North American country. Hence, I have a brand-new chance to experience a new culture. By knowing more about different cultures, I have become more considerate and have an understanding of various habits as well as behaviors from different races.
Since I came here, I have changed my eating and sleeping habits to a good way. Thus, this change is very important and beneficial for me.
4. What does the author mainly want to tell us in the passage?
A. There exist great changes during a person’s life.
B. Small changes will bring great influence on society.
C. An important event has changed the life of the author.
D. The author values the chance to study in the United States.

B. He found he would face a great change.
C. He discovered life here quite agreed with him.
D. He knew he had to change his healthy lifestyle.
6. What can we learn from the third paragraph?
A. The author was becoming healthier and healthier.
B. The author felt happier and more content.

People from different backgrounds working together at big companies often have trouble understanding each other’s cultures when they talk, whether in person or online. Just making your point clear isn’t enough. You have to truly understand cross-cultural communication for efficient cooperation and business success.
Often referred to as intercultural communication, cross-cultural communication is the study of how verbal and nonverbal communication takes place among individuals from different backgrounds, geographies, and cultures.
Since cross-cultural communication is how people belonging to different cultures communicate with each other, there are bound to be conflicts between different cultures. One way to reduce these conflicts is strengthening diversity when hiring. When people from differing cultures work toward a common goal, the risk of offensive misunderstandings decreases, and the quality of work increases.
Companies with multicultural environments must focus on cross-cultural communication skills to create a positive work culture. With thoughtful cross-cultural communication, you can remove miscommunication and build strong relationships with people from different backgrounds. This multicultural communication enables every stakeholder to benefit from the free exchange of information. Strong intercultural communication can also help companies find opportunities and promote business growth. For example, employees from diverse cultural backgrounds and age groups can share unique insights about their generations’ consumer behavior, preferences, and habits. Their understanding of the target market can help you fuel business growth across markets.
The first and most commonly forgotten step in becoming culturally aware is to reflect on your own culture. In order to learn about others, you must first know about yourself. Perform a self-evaluation and consider the culture with which you identify, what aspects of that particular culture are connected with you, and what style of communication your culture has lent you. Reflecting upon your own culture will help you embrace cultural differences with an open mind. When surrounded by like-minded people, it’s easy to forget that what you do and how you act are not the universal norm. That’s why looking at yourself critically will improve your cultural awareness, thus promoting effective intercultural communication.
8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By making a comparison. B. By describing a phenomenon.
C. By telling causes and effects. D. By giving an assumption.
9. What is a useful method to cut down conflicts and misunderstandings?
A. Employers hire people from different age groups.
B. Employees try to create a positive work culture.
C. Employers set achievable goals for employees.
D. Employees from various cultures cooperate.
10. What does paragraph 4 mainly focus on?
A. The significance of intercultural communication.
B. The methods companies use to improve harmony.
C. The understanding of multicultural environment.
D. The present situation global companies encounter.
11. What might the author continue talking about?
A. The importance of reflecting on your own culture.
B. The value of realizing and accepting cultural shocks.
C. Other tips for effective cross-cultural communication.
D. More examples of successful intercultural cooperation.
D
Whether you are traveling to a different country for business or study, you must always be prepared to experience and overcome cultural differences and language barriers. Here are a couple of tips on how to help bridge the gap between cultures.
Every country in the world, old or new, has a rich and storied history. They celebrate their own holidays, cook national dishes, listen to their own styles of music and wear clothes appropriate for their culture. Take some time to learn the history, art and customs of the country you’ll be visiting. Showing your knowledge of the local customs and history will make those around you realize you truly care about their culture.
Language are hard to master. You spent years in grade school learning all the grammar and intricacies (复杂) of English. Why not spend more time learning a whole new language — especially when so much of the world speak English already? Even if you can only recite a couple of key phrases, it shows that you’re making the effort to bridge the cultural gap.
Unfortunately, no matter how much you research a country or how well you know the language, there will always be some culture shocks and confusion. Words, actions or gestures that are not offensive (冒犯的) to us can be very offensive to someone from another culture. When this occurs, it is important to stay patient. Working through these frustrations together will lead to a smarter and stronger bond between you and your friend from another culture.
When I learn a new language, or study the history of a culture I’m unfamiliar with, I think of it as exploring a new world. There are so many things that make each culture unique. You have to be open to trying and learning new things in order to fit in well in another country. Always try to think about how they see things from their cultural perspective.
All of this being said, there are so many similarities between people of all nations. We all laugh at the same physical comedy, groan when we have to clean up our pets’ messes and cry when we lose a loved one. After all, we are all humans.
12. What are you supposed to do to show your efforts to fit in?
A. Develop an optimistic attitude. B. Do research into the new culture.
C. Publicize its unique cultures. D. Clear all the barriers in the way.
13. What does the author think of culture shocks?
A. Overwhelming. B. Abstract. C. Depressing. D. Unavoidable.
14. How does the author encourage us to be in paragraph 5?
A. Open-minded. B. Suspicious. C. Ambitious. D. Insightful.
15. What is the most suitable title for the article?
A. Participating in cultural communication. B. Stepping out of your comfort zone.
C. Exposing yourself to different cultures. D. Bridging the Gap between Cultures.

Growing up in Colorado, I prefer being outdoors. During my spare time, I enjoy swimming, climbing mountains and water-skiing. Although skiing was the sport I had never learned, I wanted to have a try. So when I recently got an invitation to a skiing trip in Deer Valley, I jumped at the chance. I didn’t think it would be that hard to learn. After all, I was fairly fit, and I used to waterski —that had to count for something, right?
It turned out that there was not so much help. I told the coach I was “beginner level”, and I was grouped with some women who had skied only a couple of times before. At first, I learned how to put on my ski suit and control my speed and direction. With the help of the coach, I started to practice.
Once we mastered the basic skills, my coach led us to the green run —the easy slope (斜坡)for ski beginners. When I reached the top, I started down an easy green run with others in our group. “OK, this isn’t so bad! I'm doing it!” I thought at the start of the run. Then came a harder slope. I wanted to quit. However, my pride didn’t let me stop.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为100个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I began to ski down the hill.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
But the accident would never stop me.

This could cause me to get sick easily. When I decided to come to America, I made up my mind and determined to keep a healthy routine. For example, I enjoy the American-style meal which includes having a fresh salad instead of cooked vegetables. This method of cooking vegetables helps me absorb more vitamins from them.
Additionally, this most important change enables me to think differently and internationally. This is my first time living in a North American country. Hence, I have a brand-new chance to experience a new culture. By knowing more about different cultures, I have become more considerate and have an understanding of various habits as well as behaviors from different races.
Since I came here, I have changed my eating and sleeping habits to a good way. Thus, this change is very important and beneficial for me.

People from different backgrounds working together at big companies often have trouble understanding each other’s cultures when they talk, whether in person or online. Just making your point clear isn’t enough. You have to truly understand cross-cultural communication for efficient cooperation and business success.
Often referred to as intercultural communication, cross-cultural communication is the study of how verbal and nonverbal communication takes place among individuals from different backgrounds, geographies, and cultures.
Since cross-cultural communication is how people belonging to different cultures communicate with each other, there are bound to be conflicts between different cultures. One way to reduce these conflicts is strengthening diversity when hiring. When people from differing cultures work toward a common goal, the risk of offensive misunderstandings decreases, and the quality of work increases.
Companies with multicultural environments must focus on cross-cultural communication skills to create a positive work culture. With thoughtful cross-cultural communication, you can remove miscommunication and build strong relationships with people from different backgrounds. This multicultural communication enables every stakeholder to benefit from the free exchange of information. Strong intercultural communication can also help companies find opportunities and promote business growth. For example, employees from diverse cultural backgrounds and age groups can share unique insights about their generations’ consumer behavior, preferences, and habits. Their understanding of the target market can help you fuel business growth across markets.
The first and most commonly forgotten step in becoming culturally aware is to reflect on your own culture. In order to learn about others, you must first know about yourself. Perform a self-evaluation and consider the culture with which you identify, what aspects of that particular culture are connected with you, and what style of communication your culture has lent you. Reflecting upon your own culture will help you embrace cultural differences with an open mind. When surrounded by like-minded people, it’s easy to forget that what you do and how you act are not the universal norm. That’s why looking at yourself critically will improve your cultural awareness, thus promoting effective intercultural communication.
8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By making a comparison. B. By describing a phenomenon.
C. By telling causes and effects. D. By giving an assumption.
9. What is a useful method to cut down conflicts and misunderstandings?
A. Employers hire people from different age groups.
B. Employees try to create a positive work culture.
C. Employers set achievable goals for employees.
D. Employees from various cultures cooperate.
10. What does paragraph 4 mainly focus on?
A. The significance of intercultural communication.
B. The methods companies use to improve harmony.
C. The understanding of multicultural environment.
D. The present situation global companies encounter.
11. What might the author continue talking about?
A. The importance of reflecting on your own culture.
B. The value of realizing and accepting cultural shocks.
C. Other tips for effective cross-cultural communication.
D. More examples of successful intercultural cooperation.

Whether you are traveling to a different country for business or study, you must always be prepared to experience and overcome cultural differences and language barriers. Here are a couple of tips on how to help bridge the gap between cultures.
Every country in the world, old or new, has a rich and storied history. They celebrate their own holidays, cook national dishes, listen to their own styles of music and wear clothes appropriate for their culture. Take some time to learn the history, art and customs of the country you’ll be visiting. Showing your knowledge of the local customs and history will make those around you realize you truly care about their culture.
Language are hard to master. You spent years in grade school learning all the grammar and intricacies (复杂) of English. Why not spend more time learning a whole new language — especially when so much of the world speak English already? Even if you can only recite a couple of key phrases, it shows that you’re making the effort to bridge the cultural gap.
Unfortunately, no matter how much you research a country or how well you know the language, there will always be some culture shocks and confusion. Words, actions or gestures that are not offensive (冒犯的) to us can be very offensive to someone from another culture. When this occurs, it is important to stay patient. Working through these frustrations together will lead to a smarter and stronger bond between you and your friend from another culture.
When I learn a new language, or study the history of a culture I’m unfamiliar with, I think of it as exploring a new world. There are so many things that make each culture unique. You have to be open to trying and learning new things in order to fit in well in another country. Always try to think about how they see things from their cultural perspective.
All of this being said, there are so many similarities between people of all nations. We all laugh at the same physical comedy, groan when we have to clean up our pets’ messes and cry when we lose a loved one. After all, we are all humans.
12. What are you supposed to do to show your efforts to fit in?
A. Develop an optimistic attitude. B. Do research into the new culture.
C. Publicize its unique cultures. D. Clear all the barriers in the way.
13. What does the author think of culture shocks?
A. Overwhelming. B. Abstract. C. Depressing. D. Unavoidable.
14. How does the author encourage us to be in paragraph 5?
A. Open-minded. B. Suspicious. C. Ambitious. D. Insightful.
15. What is the most suitable title for the article?
A. Participating in cultural communication. B. Stepping out of your comfort zone.
C. Exposing yourself to different cultures. D. Bridging the Gap between Cultures.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了克服文化差异的几条建议。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Take some time to learn the history, art and customs of the country you’ll be visiting. Showing your knowledge of the local customs and history will make those around you realize you truly care about their culture.(花点时间了解你要去的国家的历史、艺术和习俗。展示你对当地风俗和历史的了解会让你周围的人意识到你真的关心他们的文化)”可知,为了表明你融入新文化的努力,你应该对新的文化进行研究,故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Unfortunately, no matter how much you research a country or how well you know the language, there will always be some culture shocks and confusion. (不幸地是,无论你对一个国家做了多少研究,或者你对这个国家的语言有多了解,总会有一些文化冲击和困惑)”可知,作者认为文化冲击是不可避免的,故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“You have to be open to trying and learning new things in order to fit in well in another country. Always try to think about how they see things from their cultural perspective.(为了适应另一个国家,你必须乐于尝试和学习新事物。总是试着从他们的文化角度去思考他们是如何看待事物的)”可知,作者鼓励我们要思想开放,故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段“Here are a couple of tips on how to help bridge the gap between cultures.(这里有一些关于如何帮助跨越文化差异的建议。)”提出话题——帮助跨越消除文化差异的建议,文章第二、三、四、五段依次提出了四条建议,最后一段对全文进行总结,纵观全文,文章都在围绕着如何帮助消除文化差异来展开,所以D项Bridging the Gap between Cultures(消除文化之间的差异)作为文章题目最为合适,故选D项。

【导语】主要讲述莎拉在美术学习中遇到创作问题,与搭档产生矛盾后二人互相妥协、取长补短,最终合作作品收获好评,并从中领悟矛盾与妥协、个性与协作平衡的道理的故事。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:在一堂高中美术课上,莎拉的作品因缺少重点而受到批评,她感到十分失望。此处修饰人Sarah,在系动词felt后作表语,disappoint形容人感受用形容词disappointed,意为“失望的”。

考查动词时态和语态。句意:她的老师指出,需要一个清晰的思路来指引她的创作。此处为宾语从句的谓语,主句为一般过去时,从句时态保持一致,主语a clear strategy与need是被动关系,故用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为第三人称单数,所以谓语动词为was needed。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:下定决心要进步,莎拉下定决心去克服自身的缺点。此处为固定搭配make one’s resolve to do sth,不定式作后置定语,所以用to tackle。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她意识到把自身的困境归咎于他人毫无用处,于是转而专注打磨自身技艺。此处动名词在宾语从句中作主语,表示泛指或抽象的动作,blame的动名词形式为blaming。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:莎拉想要妥协的意愿与利亚姆严苛的创作方式产生冲突,矛盾开始不断激化。形容词性物主代词Sarah’s后接名词作主语,willing对应的名词为willingness,意为“乐意,意愿”。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:他们没有回避问题,而是决定为彼此过激的言语道歉。此处为固定搭配apologize for,意为“为……道歉”,所以填介词for。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:久而久之,他们一次次失败的尝试都化作了前进的垫脚石。此处修饰名词attempts,需要形容词作定语,fail对应的形容词failed,意为“失败的”。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:随着最终展览临近,他们的合作画作——一幅描绘狂风暴雨归于平静的作品收获了称赞。此处非谓语动词作后置定语,describe与逻辑主语painting之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词describing。
【44题详解】
考查并列连词。句意:老师点评道,成熟无关完美,而是要勇敢化解矛盾。此处为固定搭配not...but...,意为“不是……而是……”,所以用连词but。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态与倒装。句意:她的经历让她明白,即便身处矛盾之中,也蕴藏着携手共进、共同成长的可能。句子为倒装句式,主语the potential为第三人称单数,陈述客观道理用一般现在时,lie使用第三人称单数lies。

47. 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。
Growing up in Colorado, I prefer being outdoors. During my spare time, I enjoy swimming, climbing mountains and water-skiing. Although skiing was the sport I had never learned, I wanted to have a try. So when I recently got an invitation to a skiing trip in Deer Valley, I jumped at the chance. I didn’t think it would be that hard to learn. After all, I was fairly fit, and I used to waterski —that had to count for something, right?
It turned out that there was not so much help. I told the coach I was “beginner level”, and I was grouped with some women who had skied only a couple of times before. At first, I learned how to put on my ski suit and control my speed and direction. With the help of the coach, I started to practice.
Once we mastered the basic skills, my coach led us to the green run —the easy slope (斜坡)for ski beginners. When I reached the top, I started down an easy green run with others in our group. “OK, this isn’t so bad! I'm doing it!” I thought at the start of the run. Then came a harder slope. I wanted to quit. However, my pride didn’t let me stop.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为100个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I began to ski down the hill.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
But the accident would never stop me.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I began to ski down the hill. Firstly, I moved inch by inch, and gradually I picked up speed until I took off — I was enjoying the flying feeling when I accidentally hit a tree and ended with a nose diving into the snow. “Ouch!” I cried out in pain, feeling my legs hurt. The coach and the teammates ran towards me. They checked me up and moved me out of the runs.
But the accident would never stop me. Shortly, I stood up. I gathered the strength to continue. Amazingly, I found joy and pride in the process of falling and getting back up on the skis over and over again. Skiing has become my favorite. I’ve come to realize that the essence of skiing lies in the discovery of a better self. Fear doesn’t shape my future, but bravery does.
