13.Culture Shock
    Culture shock refers to the anxiety and feelings (of surprise,uncertainty,confusion,etc.) felt when people 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.(36)G
    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.(37)D 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.(38)BThe 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shock is called"adjustment".In this stage,you have reached a point where you actually feel good.(39)EThe things that originally made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand.Now you have adjusted to the new culture and you feel comfortable.
Not all individuals visiting another country will experience all these four stages.(40)CIt also occurs within cultures as individuals move from place to place or from one setting to another (e.g.,from high school to college).

A.You feel that friends should help each other to deal with culture shock.
B.And you try to develop comprehension of everything you don't understand.
C.In addition,culture shock is not limited to the overseas visitor.
D.You become tired of many things about the new culture.
E.You have learned enough to understand the new culture.
F.You begin to understand you need to travel a lot.
G.And everything seems to be marvelous and everybody seems to be so nice to you.

分析 本文讲述了文化冲击的四个阶段,分别为度蜜月,敌意,恢复,调整四个阶段.

38   B    根据Then you come to the third stage called"recovery".In this stage,you start to feel more positive.The whole situation starts to become more favorable and you begin to learn to adapt yourself to it.可知这里想说你努力理解你不懂的每一件事情,故选B.
39   E   根据The things that originally made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand.Now you have adjusted to the new culture and you feel comfortable.可知这里想说对于新文化的理解,你已经了解的足够多了,故选E.
40   C   根据Not all individuals visiting another country will experience all these four stages.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).可知这里想说另外,文化冲击不仅仅局限于海外的访问者,故选C.

4.Stress for a teenager is as real a problem as stress for an adult.Therefore,it's important to understand the causes of stress in teenagers.
When parents change their jobs or if the family decides to move to a different place,the child has to change schools,find new friends,adapt to the new social circle and fit into new groups.It is always difficult for children to adapt to such changes,which can be a serious cause of stress in their life.
Academic difficulties,such as inability to understand a certain subject can cause stress.Not every child has the ability to understand every  subject.Some kids need extra help besides school work to grasp a few concepts.Poor academic performance is often laughed at and is looked down upon by both teachers and peers.In such cases,it can make the child feel isolated,neglected and hurt.All of this,put together,can add to stress,which many times worsens grades.
Extra curricular activities (课外活动) such as playing a sport,or attending art classes can weigh heavily on your child's mind.Balancing school and extra curricular activities does seem like a burden when you have to be outstanding at both.When the pressures from both the ends get unmanageable,teenagers tend to get tired and annoyed.Tiredness sets in,leading to stress related issues such as lack of concentration in school.
These are the common causes of stress in teenagers,which can be noticed through signs such as poor memory,anxiety,negative and pessimistic attitude.If the signs of teenage stress go unrecognized for a long time,it can make the child emotionally out of balance.And next step,if this happens,it is necessary for parents to know how to deal with stress.

78.What does the passage mainly talk about?The cause of stress in teenagers.
79.Poor academic performance causes stress for children because it tendsto be laughed at and looked down upon by both teachers andpeers.
80.How can parents know that their teenagers are under stress?
They can know that if their childrenshow signs such as poor memory,anxiety,negative and pessimistic attitude
81.The common causes of stress in teenagers introduced by the author are:
changing school places,academic difficulties and extra curricular activities.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN THIRTEEN WORDS)

1.When you are little,it's not hard to believe you can change the world.I remember my enthusiasm when,at the age of 12,I addressed the delegates at the Rio Earth Summit."I am only a child,"I told them."Yet I know that if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty and finding environmental answers,what a wonderful place this would be.In school you teach us not to fight with others,to work things out,to respect others,to clean up our mess,not to hurt other creatures,to share,not to be greedy.Then why do you go out and do the thing you tell us not to do?You grown-ups say you love us,but I challenge you,please,to make your actions reflect your words."
I spoke for six minutes and received a standing ovation.Some of the delegates even cried.I thought that maybe I had reached some of them,that my speech might actually spur(激励) action.Now,a decade from Rio,after I've sat through many more conferences,I'm not sure what has been accomplished.My confidence in the people in power and in the power of an individual's voice to reach them has been deeply shaken.
When I was little,the world was simple.But as a young adult,I'm learning that as we have to make choices-education,career,lifestyle-life gets more and more complicated.We are beginning to feel pressure to produce and be successful.We are taught that economic growth is in progress,but aren't taught how to pursue a happy,healthy or sustainable(可持续的) way of living.And we are learning that what we wanted for the future when we were 12was ideal and innocent.
Today I'm no longer a child,but I'm worried about what kind of environment my children will grow up in.I know change is possible,because I am changing,still figuring out what I think.I am still deciding how to live my life.The challenges are great,but if we accept individual responsibility and make sustainable choices,we will rise to the challenges,and we will become part of the positive tide of change.

66.The purpose of what the writer said at the age of 12was toC.
A.end poverty and make school beautiful
B.find environmental answers and keep the words that they always told themselves
C.end poverty and solve the problems about environment
D.find a wonderful place and clean it up
67.What does the underlined word"ovation"in the second paragraph refer toD.
A.a long period of laughing  
B.a warm welcome
C.an expression used for greeting   
D.a long period of clapping and applause
68.It becomes clear that the writer is possiblyB now.
A.in his teens  B.in his twenties  C.in his thirties  D.in his forties
69.Which of the following is true according to the passage?D
A.the writer thinks what he thought at the age of 12is mature.
B.the writer's children will certainly live in an ideal environment.
C.the writer's confidence in the people in power has deeply shaken their voice.
D.the writer's belief does not change when he grows up.

8.Televisions were among the most talked about items at the 2013 International Consumer Electronics Show last week in Las Vegas,Nevada.Some employed the most advanced technology ever.

Cars,smart-phones,tablet computers and PCs also made news.And a 27-inch table computer drew quite a bit of attention.
CEA President Gary Shapiro says there was much to see but not nearly enough time to see it all."You cannot see the show in the four days that you have.We have over 3200 different industries showing over 20,000 new products.It's absolutely incredible."

5.What is politeness?This sounds like a simple question.In daily life,we often make judgments about what is polite and what is not polite.For example,to offer your seat to the elderly on a bus is considered polite behavior,and to interrupt when someone is talking is considered impolite; to greet someone the first time you meet him in the morning is polite and to stand up to reach for the dish you want at a dinner table is impolite.So politeness can first of all be regarded as a phenomenon,an observable social phenomenon.
What I would like to propose is that as an observable social phenomenon,politeness is something superficial,but to account for what is understood at the surface,we should dig into the depth where different cultural values are rooted.
When being complimented (赞美),an English-speaking person would readily accept the compliment by saying something like"Thank you"to show his appreciation of the praise,but a Chinese speaker would try to deny the truth of the compliment.They both think they are behaving properly.Yet neither of them would think the other is being polite.The English speaker is being polite to the extent that by accepting and showing appreciation of the compliment,and he avoids hurting the positive face of the person who makes it; the Chinese speaker is showing modesty by Denigrating(贬低) himself,ignoring the fact of the compliment paid to him.As has been mentioned,self-denigration has been at the core of the Chinese understanding of politeness for over two thousand years.The Chinese,in order to show modesty,will go to such lengths as to underrate what he himself has achieved and deny the truth of a complimentary remark.

29.According to the first paragraph,politeness can be briefly described asD
A.proper social phenomena             
B.being modest
C.showing appreciation               
D.an observable social phenomenon
30.In the author's opinion,the nature of politeness lies inC.
A.something superficial
B.what is understood at the surface
C.different cultural values
D.the root of different thoughts
31.Which of the following is TRUE?C
A.Chinese speakers dislike being complimented.
B.English-speaking people are reluctant to accept compliment.
C.Chinese tend to show politeness and modesty by denying the truth of praise.
D.Chinese people think highly of British politeness while English people think poorly of  Chinese politeness.
32.What's the author's attitude towards Chinese politeness?A
A.Objective.                             
B.Critical.
C.Optimistic.                        
D.Approving.

2.I was interested to read a newspaper article about a new concept in old people's homes in France.The idea is simple,but revolutionary--combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building.The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities.In the afternoons,the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the children,and if a child is feeling sad or tired,there is always a kind lap to sit on and a cuddle(拥抱).There are trips out and birthday parties too.
The advantages are enormous for everyone concerned.The children are happy because they get a lot more individual attention,and respond well because someone has time for them.They see illness and death and learn to accept them.The residents are happy because they feel useful and needed.They are more active and more interested in life when the children are around and they take more interest in their appearance too.
Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young.There are many reasons for this,including the breakdown of the extended family,working parents with no time to care for aging relations,families that have moved away,and smaller flats with no room for grandparents.But the result is the same--increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children.And more old people who are lonely and feel useless,along with more and more families with young children who desperately need more support.It's a major problem in many societies.
That's why intergenerational programmes,designed to bring the old and the young together,are growing in popularity all over the world.There are examples of successful attempts all over the world.Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example.Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another,perhaps reading with children who need extra attention.

36.A nursery school is a place whereC.
A.future nurses are trained                        B.the elderly live
C.children are taken care of                       D.the old join in activities
37.Which is true according to the passage?B
A.A number of assistants are employed to take care of the children.
B.The new concept benefits both the elderly and the children.
C.The children become stronger after getting more individual attention.
D.The children learn that sick people will die.
38.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?D
A.The reason why the old and the young are separated.
B.The support children need.
C.One reason why children don't live with their grandparents.
D.The problem that the old and the young are separated.
39.What does the"intergenerational programmes"in Paragraph 4refer to?A
A.Combining elderly homes with nursery schools.
B.Letting the children and the residents eat together.
C.Asking young people to teach IT skills to older people.
D.Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools.
40.What is the best title for the passage?B
A.Old people's Homes in France                     B.Building Bridges of Life
C.A Solution to the Elderly Problem                 D.Children's New Happy Life.

3.I remember a day when I was a little kid.I was making a sandwich in the kitchen when I noticed the date on one of the wine bottles.
"Dad,dad!"I cried."This wine is too old to drink."
"Son,hold on,"he said.
"No,you can't drink this tonight!This bottle of wine was made 10years ago."
"Wait,let me tell you…"
"Would you like me to throw it away fro you?"I asked.
"Son,wait a second,"he said."Son,some wines get better over time.The longer you wait to drink it,the better it will be.Although this may seem strange,it is true."
When I was young,I didn't have any understanding of what this meant,but now,this would have been very helpful to remember as I went through my teenage years.
In our society,we forget this simple rule:The longer you want for certain things,the better they will be.But we want the best job as quickly as possible; we want to graduate from college in as few years as possible; we even speed through our homework just to chat with friends.When we do this,we lose something of great importance.
We all want to get to the next step so quickly that perhaps we don't get ready enough to get there.This has a negative effect on our society.When trying to go to the right college,we will do anything to get in and when we rush through our class-work,we may not study enough for the test,and end up failing.We need to be ready for whatever comes,ready for the unexpected.Wine gets better over time,so do the things in our paths of life.

56.Why did the author tell his father not to drink the bottle of wine?B
A.Because it smelt terrible.
B.Because it had been kept for years.
C.Because it was mixed with something else.
D.Because his father drank too much that night.
57.What the author's father saidA.
A.made the author puzzled when he was a little child.
B.was too simple a rule to be meaningful to the author.
C.threw the author into deep thought then.
D.was an excuse to drink the wine.
58.In the author's opinion,if we do things too quickly,we willD.
A.do it better
B.save much time
C.graduate from college more quickly
D.miss something useful to us in life
59.Which of the following best reflects the main idea of the passage?B
A.Well begun is half done.
B.More haste,less speed.
C.Failure is the mother of success.
D.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
