This feeling is often called “culture shock”. It is important to understand it and learn how to deal with it if you want to adapt successfully to your new home’s culture. Generally speaking, there are four stages that you will experience after you move to a foreign country. The first stage is usually referred to as the “excitement” stage. When arriving in a new environment, you’ll be interested in the new culture. Everything will seem exciting and everyone will seem friendly. But it won’t be long. The excitement you felt changes to stress. It is at this “stress” stage that you are likely to feel worried and homesick. This is the stage which is referred to as “culture shock”. However, culture shock doesn’t last very long. If you are one of those who manage to overcome it, you’ll move to the “recovery” stage. At this stage, you start to understand and accept the way things are done and the way people behave in your new environment. The last stage is the “home” stage. This is the stage when you start to feel at home in the new culture. You start to learn from your new “home” and like certain aspects of the new culture better than those of your own culture. Culture shock is normal. Everyone in a new situation will go through some forms of it. Continue to be brave! And overcoming culture shock will be a piece of cake. 43. Among the four stages, which stage can probably explain how “culture shock” happens? A. The “excitement” stage. B. The “stress” stage. C. The “recovery” stage. D. The “home” stage. 44. What does the underlined word “adapt” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Get used to. B. Hear from. C. Look forward to. D. Grow up. 45. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The “excitement” stage. B. The “recovery” stage. C. Culture shock. D. The new environment. 46. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 47. What might Jane have gone through first when she studies abroad? A. The university campus was amazing. B. She got rid of her language problems. C. She hated to spend time with her German friends. D.

However, the oldest pen was just a stick or a piece of bamboo. It was difficult for people to write well on thin silk. It is said that Meng Tian, a general of the State of Qin, improved the pen. When Meng was leading an army to fight against the State of Chu, he had to report the situation to his king in time. But his pen was too hard and this caused him much trouble, so he was thinking of ways to improve it. One day after hunting (狩猎), Meng made his way home with some rabbits on the horseback. Fat and heavy, one rabbit’s tail left a long trail (痕迹) on the ground when moving on. Suddenly, a good idea came to his mind when he saw it, “If I tie the rabbit’s hair to a stick, would it be easy to write with? ” On arriving home, he tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit’s hair was too smooth to write well and it wasted a lot of silk. Meng was so disappointed that he threw his “invention” into a stone hole in the yard. However, Meng never gave up and kept trying all the time. A few rainy days later, he happened to find his “invention” fatter in the stone hole. He picked it up with hope. The brush pen worked beautifully on silk. It turned out that the special water had cleaned the oil from the hair. Meng succeeded at last. Thanks to Meng, the brush pen is playing a key role in Chinese culture. Today, students are taught to use the brush pens in school. It makes their life more colorful and helps them better understand Chinese culture. 48. Why did Meng Tian want to improve the pen? A. Because the king asked him to do so. B.

It is important to understand it and learn how to deal with it if you want to adapt successfully to your new home’s culture. Generally speaking, there are four stages that you will experience after you move to a foreign country. The first stage is usually referred to as the “excitement” stage. When arriving in a new environment, you’ll be interested in the new culture. Everything will seem exciting and everyone will seem friendly. But it won’t be long. The excitement you felt changes to stress. It is at this “stress” stage that you are likely to feel worried and homesick. This is the stage which is referred to as “culture shock”. However, culture shock doesn’t last very long. If you are one of those who manage to overcome it, you’ll move to the “recovery” stage. At this stage, you start to understand and accept the way things are done and the way people behave in your new environment. The last stage is the “home” stage. This is the stage when you start to feel at home in the new culture. You start to learn from your new “home” and like certain aspects of the new culture better than those of your own culture. Culture shock is normal. Everyone in a new situation will go through some forms of it. Continue to be brave! And overcoming culture shock will be a piece of cake. 43. Among the four stages, which stage can probably explain how “culture shock” happens? A. The “excitement” stage. B. The “stress” stage. C. The “recovery” stage. D. The “home” stage. 44. What does the underlined word “adapt” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Get used to. B. Hear from. C. Look forward to. D. Grow up. 45. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The “excitement” stage. B. The “recovery” stage. C. Culture shock. D. The new environment. 46. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 47. What might Jane have gone through first when she studies abroad? A. The university campus was amazing. B. She got rid of her language problems. C. She hated to spend time with her German friends. D.

However, the oldest pen was just a stick or a piece of bamboo. It was difficult for people to write well on thin silk. It is said that Meng Tian, a general of the State of Qin, improved the pen. When Meng was leading an army to fight against the State of Chu, he had to report the situation to his king in time. But his pen was too hard and this caused him much trouble, so he was thinking of ways to improve it. One day after hunting (狩猎), Meng made his way home with some rabbits on the horseback. Fat and heavy, one rabbit’s tail left a long trail (痕迹) on the ground when moving on. Suddenly, a good idea came to his mind when he saw it, “If I tie the rabbit’s hair to a stick, would it be easy to write with? ” On arriving home, he tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit’s hair was too smooth to write well and it wasted a lot of silk. Meng was so disappointed that he threw his “invention” into a stone hole in the yard. However, Meng never gave up and kept trying all the time. A few rainy days later, he happened to find his “invention” fatter in the stone hole. He picked it up with hope. The brush pen worked beautifully on silk. It turned out that the special water had cleaned the oil from the hair. Meng succeeded at last. Thanks to Meng, the brush pen is playing a key role in Chinese culture. Today, students are taught to use the brush pens in school. It makes their life more colorful and helps them better understand Chinese culture. 48. Why did Meng Tian want to improve the pen? A. Because the king asked him to do so. B. Because he wanted to be an inventor. C. Because he didn’t have silk to write on. D. Because the pen brought him much trouble. 49. When did Meng think of the good idea? A. Before hunting animals. B. When he saw the trail. C. When he was cleaning the hair. D. After he wrote a report. 50. Which is the right order of improving the brush pen? a. The brush pen could write well. b.
