Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) This is a talk by a London taxi driver. “I’ve been a taxi driver for nearly ten years. Most London taxi drivers have their own taxis.” “It’s a nice job most of time. You meet a lot of people. I always work at night, because there is too much traffic during the day. I live twenty miles outside London and I go to work at 5:30 in the afternoon.” “I usually go home between 2 and 3 in the morning.” “Some very strange things happened late at night. The other day I was taking a woman home from a party. She had her little dog with her. When we got to her house, she found that she had lost her key. So I waited in the car with the dog while she climbed in through the windows.” “I waited and waited. After half an hour of ringing the bell I decided to find out what was going on. I tied the dog to a tree and started to climb in through the window. The next thing I knew was that the police came. They thought I was a thief. Luckily the woman came downstairs. She must have gone to sleep and forgotten about me and the dog!" 36. The driver always worked at night because it was easier to ________.

(我总是在晚上工作，因为白天路上交通太过拥堵。)”可知，白天车流量大不好开车，夜晚路况更便于行驶。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When we got to her house, she found that she had lost her key. So I waited in the car with the dog while she climbed in through the windows. (当我们抵达她家之后，她发现自己弄丢了钥匙。于是我带着小狗在车里等候，她顺着窗户爬进屋。)”可知，女士翻窗是因为找不到家门钥匙。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I usually go home between 2 and 3 in the morning. (我通常凌晨两点到三点之间回家。)”根据第四段“The next thing I knew was that the police came. They thought I was a thief. (紧接着警察赶到，他们误以为我是小偷。)”；根据第五段“She must have gone to sleep and forgotten about me and the dog! (她一定是睡着了，已经忘了我和小狗。)”可知，全文没有提到女子没钱支付车费，C选项表述错误。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“After half an hour of ringing the bell I decided to find out what was going on. (按了半小时门铃以后，我决定去看看屋内发生了什么。)”可知，司机爬窗户是为了查看房子里面的情况。 (B) With the world becoming smaller, many young adults make the decision to study in foreign universities. It is an exciting, challenging experience to live in a foreign country. Anyone who can study abroad is fortunate; but of course, it is not easy to make the transition from one culture to another. One faces many difficulties. The student who studies in a foreign country leaves behind a familiar, loving and comfortable environment. Back home, she has her family, friends and acquaintances. She knows the language, politics, money, food, social customs, and so forth. She knows all the aspects of her native culture, such as body language, bargaining practises, and efforts to minimize waste through recycling, etc. In short, she knows “the system” in her native country. The day she leaves all this behind and suddenly finds herself in a place where everyone and everything is strange, perhaps confusing. All this strangeness is a major surprise to a person’s confidence. This sudden change often leads to a reaction called culture shock. Foreigners experience varying degrees of culture shock. The symptoms vary from being ill-at-ease to being seriously depressed. Feeling homesick, unhappy and very sensitive are other signs of culture shock. It is easy to understand that the endless frustrations of the early days in a new country would produce dissatisfaction, discomfort, and perhaps even hostility. However, being negative will never get rid of the feeling of frustrations. The mature person understands that a positive attitude, determination and flexibility are important in making the transition successful. 40. “The system” in the second paragraph includes the following except ________. A. social customs B. bargaining C. politics D. foreign culture 41. From the passage we can know that ________. A. it is fortunate as well as challenging to study abroad B. culture shock affects all foreigners in the same way C. all foreigners can feel a sense of hostility due to culture shock D. the mature person with determination will not suffer from culture shock 42. The main idea of the passage is that ________. A. people know “the system” very well in their native country B. the mature person with a positive attitude will overcome culture shock C. culture shock is a pleasant experience if one goes abroad D. many international students are affected by culture shock in different degrees 【答案】40. D 41. A 42. D 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍留学生出国之后会遭遇文化冲击、相关症状以及应对该问题的正确态度。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Back home, she has her family, friends and acquaintances. She knows the language, politics, money, food, social customs, and so forth. She knows all the aspects of her native culture, such as body language, bargaining practises, and efforts to minimize waste through recycling, etc.(在家乡，她有家人、朋友和熟人。她了解语言、政治、货币、食物、社会习俗等等。她熟知自己本土文化的方方面面，比如肢体语言、讨价还价的习惯做法，以及通过回收利用来尽量减少浪费的努力等。)”可知，“In short, she knows “the system” in her native country.(简而言之，她了解自己祖国的“the system”)”中的the system“这套体系”指代上文提到的与本国本土文化相关的内容，foreign culture（外国文化）不在其内。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It is an exciting, challenging experience to live in a foreign country. Anyone who can study abroad is fortunate;(在异国生活是一段刺激且充满挑战的经历。能够出国留学的人是幸运的)”由此可知，出国留学既幸运又充满挑战。 【42题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其第三段开头“Foreigners experience varying degrees of culture shock.(外国人会经受不同程度的文化冲击。)”可知，文章围绕留学生出国之后面临陌生环境、产生文化冲击以及冲击有着不一样的表现展开叙述。所以文章的主旨是许多留学生都会受到不同程度的文化冲击。 (C) A few years ago, I took a sightseeing trip to Washington D. C. I saw many of our nation’s treasures, and I also saw a lot of unfortunate people like beggars and homeless folks in the streets. Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Centre, I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended. In a natural reaction, I reached into my pocket, pulled out all of my loose change and placed it in her hand. I didn’t even look at her. I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar. But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money. I just need help finding the post office.” Immediately, I realized what I had done. I acted with prejudice — I judged another person simply for what I thought she was. The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived in America at the age of 15.

The roads looked fine, I thought, barely an inch of snow, I started the car and pulled out of the driveway, feeling a surge of independence. But as I made my way through the neighborhood, the slippery roads tested my confidence. One sharp turn later, and I was in trouble — the car started to skid. I tried to slow down, but it was too late. The car slid right into a snowbank. I spent a long frustrating minute trying to get it out. pressing down on the engine, trying every trick I knew.

Most London taxi drivers have their own taxis.” “It’s a nice job most of time. You meet a lot of people. I always work at night, because there is too much traffic during the day. I live twenty miles outside London and I go to work at 5:30 in the afternoon.” “I usually go home between 2 and 3 in the morning.” “Some very strange things happened late at night. The other day I was taking a woman home from a party. She had her little dog with her. When we got to her house, she found that she had lost her key. So I waited in the car with the dog while she climbed in through the windows.” “I waited and waited. After half an hour of ringing the bell I decided to find out what was going on. I tied the dog to a tree and started to climb in through the window. The next thing I knew was that the police came. They thought I was a thief. Luckily the woman came downstairs. She must have gone to sleep and forgotten about me and the dog!" 36. The driver always worked at night because it was easier to ________.

A. get money from the woman B. return the dog to the woman C. see what was happening in the house D. phone the police (B) With the world becoming smaller, many young adults make the decision to study in foreign universities. It is an exciting, challenging experience to live in a foreign country. Anyone who can study abroad is fortunate; but of course, it is not easy to make the transition from one culture to another. One faces many difficulties. The student who studies in a foreign country leaves behind a familiar, loving and comfortable environment. Back home, she has her family, friends and acquaintances. She knows the language, politics, money, food, social customs, and so forth. She knows all the aspects of her native culture, such as body language, bargaining practises, and efforts to minimize waste through recycling, etc. In short, she knows “the system” in her native country. The day she leaves all this behind and suddenly finds herself in a place where everyone and everything is strange, perhaps confusing. All this strangeness is a major surprise to a person’s confidence. This sudden change often leads to a reaction called culture shock. Foreigners experience varying degrees of culture shock. The symptoms vary from being ill-at-ease to being seriously depressed. Feeling homesick, unhappy and very sensitive are other signs of culture shock. It is easy to understand that the endless frustrations of the early days in a new country would produce dissatisfaction, discomfort, and perhaps even hostility. However, being negative will never get rid of the feeling of frustrations. The mature person understands that a positive attitude, determination and flexibility are important in making the transition successful. 40. “The system” in the second paragraph includes the following except ________. A. social customs B. bargaining C. politics D. foreign culture 41. From the passage we can know that ________. A. it is fortunate as well as challenging to study abroad B. culture shock affects all foreigners in the same way C. all foreigners can feel a sense of hostility due to culture shock D. the mature person with determination will not suffer from culture shock 42. The main idea of the passage is that ________. A. people know “the system” very well in their native country B. the mature person with a positive attitude will overcome culture shock C. culture shock is a pleasant experience if one goes abroad D. many international students are affected by culture shock in different degrees (C) A few years ago, I took a sightseeing trip to Washington D. C. I saw many of our nation’s treasures, and I also saw a lot of unfortunate people like beggars and homeless folks in the streets. Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Centre, I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended. In a natural reaction, I reached into my pocket, pulled out all of my loose change and placed it in her hand. I didn’t even look at her. I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar. But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money. I just need help finding the post office.” Immediately, I realized what I had done. I acted with prejudice — I judged another person simply for what I thought she was. The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived in America at the age of 15. Through the years, I have been a dishwasher, cashier, mechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other jobs, and finally I became a network engineer. In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice. I remember a time, at age17— I was a busboy, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well at school, he would end up like me. But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That blind woman on the street of Washington D. C. cured me of my blindness. She reminded me to always keep my eyes and heart open. 43. Why did the blind woman extend her hand? A. She was begging for money. B. She was finding her way home. C. She wanted to ask for help. D. She was pretending to be a beggar. 44. What could be “my” feeling at the response of the woman? A. annoyed B. ashamed C. happy D. sympathetic 45. What can we learn from the passage? A. We should study hard in order to live a middle-class lifestyle. B. We should help blind people when they extend their hand. C. We should not look down upon beggars. D. We should let go of prejudice whenever and wherever we are. (D) It’s strange how a single moment can shift everything you think you know. One winter morning, all it took was a little stubbornness (固执) and a lot of snow for me to learn a lesson I’d remember for years, This is the story of how I wrecked my dad’s car.

But as I made my way through the neighborhood, the slippery roads tested my confidence. One sharp turn later, and I was in trouble — the car started to skid.
