Having taught in the US for 17 years, I had no 1 about my ability to hold their attention and to 2 on them my admiration for the literature (文学)of my mother tongue.I was shocked when the monitor shouted, "Stand up!" and the entire class rose as I ente red the room, and I was somewhat 3 about how to get them to sit down again, but once that aw kwardness(尴尬)was over, I quickly regained my calmness and began what I thought was a fac t - packed lecture, sure to gain their respect - perhaps 4 their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which comes from a (n) sense of achievements.My students kept diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually 5 by a s trong sense of sadness. The first diary said, "Our literature teacher didn't teach us anythi ng today. 6 her next lecture will be better." Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, e ach expressing a similar subject. "Didn't I teach them anything? I described the entire phil osophical framework(哲学体系)of Western thought and laid the historical 7 for all the work s we'll study in class," I complained. "How can they say I didn't teach them anything?"It was a long term, and it 8 became clear that my ideas about education were not the sa me as those of my students. I thought a teacher's job was to raise 9 questions and provide e nough background so that students could draw their own conclusions. My students thought a te acher's job was to provide 10 information as directly and clearly as possible. What a differ ence!However, I also learned a lot, and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a better American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.()(2分)• A. worry• B. idea• C. doubt• D. experience得分:2 知识点:新视野英语(二),新视野英语(二)作业题,新发展英语综合教程(二),新发展英语综合教程(二)作业题答案C解析()(2分)• A. impress• B. put• C. leave• D. fix得分:2 知识点:新视野英语(二),新视野英语(二)作业题,新发展英语综合教程(二),新发展英语综合教程(二)作业题答案A解析()(2分)• A. puzzled• B. sure• C. curious• D. worried得分:2 知识点:新视野英语(二),新视野英语(二)作业题,新发展英语综合教程(二),新发展英语综合教程(二)作业题答案A解析()(2分)• A. more• B. even• C. yet• D. still得分:2 知识点:新视野英语(二),新视野英语(二)作业题,新发展英语综合教程(二),新发展英语综合教程(二)作业题答案B解析()(2分)• A. replaced• B. taken• C. caught• D. moved得分:2 知识点:新视野英语(二),新视野英语(二)作业题,新发展英语综合教程(二),新发展英语综合教程(二)作业题答案A解析()(2分)• A.

They cannot imagine how anyone can really l ike modern music; they find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for perfection in everything, and the y take their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient with anyone w ho is brave enough to experiment with new or to express himself or the age in materials orig inal ways. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, th e artist's failure concerns himself alone, but if it is a building, his failure concerns oth ers too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place. This does sometimes happen, bu t it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.We can't judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient buildings. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. Th e modern architect knows he should learn from the ancient works, but with his greater resour ces of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to imitate the past. He is too prou d to do that.()(3分)Some people hate everything that is modern because _______.• A. they are aged• B. they find it hard to accept modern things• C. they take their standards of perfection from the Greek• D. they look at things by the standards of the past得分:3 知识点:新视野英语(二),新视野英语(二)作业题,新发展英语综合教程(二),新发展英语综合教程(二)作业题答案D解析()(3分)The writer of the passage thinks that ________.• A. it is true to say artists fail in their work• B. it is untrue to say artists fail in their work• C. it is true to say some artists fail in their work• D. it is true to say only painters fail in their work得分:3 知识点:新视野英语(二),新视野英语(二)作业题,新发展英语综合教程(二),新发展英语综合教程(二)作业题答案C解析()(3分)The writer thinks the failure of a building _______.• A. means nothing• B. concerns others• C. concerns only the artist• D. concerns all the people in the world得分:3 知识点:新视野英语(二),新视野英语(二)作业题,新发展英语综合教程(二),新发展英语综合教程(二)作业题答案B解析()(3分)The writer thinks that _________.• A. we can''t judge buildings by the ancient standards• B. we can''t judge all the buildings by the ancient standards• C. we can''t judge all the modern buildings by the ancient standards• D. we can''t judge modern buildings得分:3 知识点:新视野英语(二),新视野英语(二)作业题,新发展英语综合教程(二),新发展英语综合教程(二)作业题答案C解析()(3分)Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced.

Now divers still search for valuable things in su nken ships, but they also try to bring to the surface the ships themselves, or parts of them. The value of different kinds of metals has increased greatly over the last twenty or thirty years and even though a ship has been under the sea for many years, it may be worth a great deal.One famous sunken ship is the "Lusitania", which sank off the southern coast of Ireland in 1915 with a loss of nearly, 1,500 lives. It has four huge propellers made of an expensiv e metal. Today each of those propellers is worth $ 300,000 or more. The ship lying on the se a-bed has been brought by a man called John Light. He paid about $ 1,200,000 for the whole ship. He hopes to bring up those propellers and sell them. He also hopes to sell other parts of the ship, when he has brought them to the surface, for about $ 600,000.()(3分)Divers today try to bring to the surface _______.• A. gold and jewels• B. parts of ships• C. whole ships• D. all of the above得分:3 知识点:新发展英语综合教程(二),新发展英语综合教程(二)作业题,新视野英语(二),新视野英语(二)作业题答案D解析()(3分)Diver try to bring up metals because ________.• A. they have been in the sea for a long time• B. gold and jewels are not valuable things• C. some kinds of metals are worth a lot of money• D. it is easy to bring up metals得分:3 知识点:新发展英语综合教程(二),新发展英语综合教程(二)作业题,新视野英语(二),新视野英语(二)作业题答案C解析()(3分)The word "surface" in the passage means the ______.• A. market• B. air• C. top of a liquid• D. sea得分:3 知识点:新发展英语综合教程(二),新发展英语综合教程(二)作业题,新视野英语(二),新视野英语(二)作业题答案C解析()(3分)John Light hopes that he may be able to sell all the parts of the "Lusitania" for abou t _____.• A. $12,000• B. $300,000• C. $1,200,000• D. $1,800,000得分:3 知识点:新发展英语综合教程(二),新发展英语综合教程(二)作业题,新视野英语(二),新视野英语(二)作业题答案D解析()(3分)John Light bought the "Lusitania" _______.• A. before 1915• B. before it sank• C. after it sank• D. rafter they had brought up the propellers得分:3 知识点:新发展英语综合教程(二),新发展英语综合教程(二)作业题,新视野英语(二),新视野英语(二)作业题答案C解析3.The energy which the sun radiates goes in every direction, and only a minute part of it falls on the earth. Even so, it represents power of about 5,000,000 horsepower (马力) per s quare mile per day; the sun gives us as much energy every miunte as mankind utilizes in a year. At present, we use this energy indirectly, and it is our final source of power. Coal rep resents the chemical action of the sun on green plants thousands of years ago. Water power r esults from the rain formed by vapor which comes from the evaporation of water under the sun shine. Even windmills operate because of air currents set in motion by the different heating affects of the sun in different places. Some day, through chemistry or some type of solar e ngine, we shall harness this great source of energy more directly. Already a scientist has w orked out an engine, surprisingly efficient, in which the sun's rays are concentrated throug h mirrors on a tube of water to create steam.()(3分)How much energy given off by the sun reaches the earth?• A. 100% but indirectly.• B. 5%.• C. 50%.• D. only a very tiny amount.得分:3 知识点:新视野英语(二),新视野英语(二)作业题,新发展英语综合教程(二),新发展英语综合教程(二)作业题答案D解析()(3分)The reason why all the solar energy falling on the earth can't be utilized is that _____ _.• A. only a very small part is available• B. the sun is too distant from the earth• C. it takes thousands of years for this energy to be stored up in coal and oil• D. our scientific knowledge is not sufficient得分:3 知识点:新视野英语(二),新视野英语(二)作业题,新发展英语综合教程(二),新发展英语综合教程(二)作业题答案D解析()(3分)Which of the following statements is NOT true?• A.

U1 TOPIC 1 Famous Universities1.What kind of universities are good universities in your eyes?First of all, it should have a strong studying atmosphere. I hope students there can talk about their own opinions with freedom. Secondly, the teachers should be high standard and responsible. Then, the teaching equipment should be good, which will contribute to our study.2.Do you think universities should try their best to provide their students with more scholarships? Why or why not?I don’t think more scholarships are necessary. Merit-based(基于优秀的;以业绩为基础的)scholarships, which are mainly awarded by universities, aim to encourage the students to learn more. It’s a motivation, or a reputation. Students who have financial problems could apply for need-based scholarships. So it’s not necessary for universities to provide more scholarships.3.Which is more important in your college life, study or working experience? Why? In my opinion, we students should put study in the first place. Only by learning enough knowledge and skills now can we get a good job in the future. Our main task is to lay a solid(可靠的;坚实的) foundation for the future. So, it’s out of question that study is more important in college life.4.If you had the opportunity to further your study in famous universities either at home or abroad, which would you choose?Why?T o be honest, I’d like to go abroad. First, I want to broaden my horizon. I have been dreaming about something quite different. Second, the academic atmosphere is freer abroad. Finally, I hope to meet more friends from all over the world. So, if possible, I’d like to go out to experience the study life there.5.What is the aim for your college life?Explain.Above all, it’s beyond question that I want to acquire the knowledge and skills I expected. We can surely gain some working and even social experience. But they should not be our main aim. We should respect our university, the last place from where we get system education. So, my aim for college life is to learn as much as I can.6.Do you think having a part-time job might affect your academic performance? Why or why not?Personally I think it will. It’s certain that taking a part-time job will occupy some study time. Study is not just doing homework. It requires many practices. Having a part-time job may affect our further study and our academic performance.Section Two Please have a group discussion on the following topic:What can make a university famous? Please give as many examples as possible.In my view, a famous university should have excellent teachers、tutors、professors and all of them and the managements should be responsible for their students. In addition the school should provide good facilities and enough support for the students, such as libraries, museums and scientific collections.U2 TOPIC 1 Jobs and Careers1.What kind of jobs do you think will be the most popular in the future?It is no surprise that one of the fastest growing areas of employment in recent years relates to computer technology. Technological advance and the continued integration of IT and digital communications into the workplace throughout the private, publicand voluntary sectors ensure that this trend will continue for some time.2.Do you know how to find the right job for you?First of all, I will take some time for introspection to know what field I am qualified to work in. Secondly, I will explore every avenue available to me to search for job openings. Then, I will apply for the job and get prepared for the job. I believe that after all the efforts I can find the right job for me.3.Have you ever had any part-time job? If yes, share your experience with your partner. If not, do you want to have one?No, I haven’t. In fact, I want to have one. I want to get some working experience, which will do good to us. Having a part-time job can help us know more about the society. And we can know more clearly about what we should learn.4.Do you think having a part-time job might affect your academic performance? Why or why not?I don't think so. In my opinion, having a part-time job is helpful to improve my academic performance. First of all, as a college student, social experience is very important for our study and personality. Doing a part time job can provide us a chance to know the complicated society before we graduate from college. Secondly, we do not have so much study work in school, we needn't worry about the time we can spend on our academic. Finally, we can choose a part-time job which is related to our major, in this way, we could learn more about our academic knowledge. So, if I have a chance, I will do a pate-time job in my spare time.5.Do you think you can find your dream job via the internet?Yes, I think so. When we try to find a job, we can embark on a full scale networking campaign with others in the field we are looking to find work in. We should learn how to search online jobsites and even where to find the best job search engines. This is the age of the information superhighway and the internet can be our number one ally in seeking out the perfect job.Section Two Please have a group discussion on the following topic:What factors influence young people when they are deciding on their future jobs and careers?.Many people are heavily influenced by the professions that their parents favor. 2.

What’s worse, some products are harmful to our health. But they have beautiful package and provide some discounts, which lure us to buy them. Generally speaking, we should not follow advertisements easily.3.How can we take good advantage of advertisements?The advertisement informs the consumer about qualities and price of goods and this makes purchasing easy for the consumers. But we should get a clear look at the information in the advertisements which is credible.4.Why do people love entertainment celebrity news?One of the main reasons that people love entertainment celebrity news is for the simple amusement of reading about and viewing photos from famous people’s lives. Another reason is the simple diversion of reading celebrity news and looking at their scandalous photos.5.What is the most important factor in entertainment choices? Why?We can select the most uplifting activity. We can choose what music to play. And,of course, we can choose what movies and TV shows to watch. Only by choosing something inspiring can we lead a positive life.S ection Two Please have a group discussion on the following topic:What are the correct attitudes towards advertisements? Please give as many examples as possible.We should take critical attitude toward ads. on the one hand, ads should be a information provider for us. we can know more about information about latest products and services .then we choose them on the basis of our actual needs and conditions. keep in mind that don’t believe ads completely. On the other hand,ads should also be an entertainment program for us, we can get relaxed by watching wonderful and interesting ads. public service advertisement can raise awareness, inspire individuals to take action, and save lives.Advertisers use our weaknesses to tell us what is new, what we should be like, what is cool, and what is hot.

Being an extrovert is not a guarantee of success in life, but it is a good place to start if your aim is to become rich and famous. But different personality has different effect on success. For example, some people are shy and quiet, they prefer to read books and write articles. Such people may be successful in education, writing and other occupations.

Their home hunting ended up in a very small town in Arizona where they purchased a house on 40 acres that was not only off the grid, but without access to any (public) utilities. Just imagine the challenges facing them, such as generating their own power and hauling their own water. However, they worked hard and succeeded in making the adjustment in a few months. In addition, they benefited a lot from living off the grid there. Most important of all, they came to know the importance of conservation and learned how to conserve power and water and how to reuse things, etc. In other words they learned how to live green.2.2 Digging into detail1.

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once.A)What is love? Some people think it’s lifelong devotion. Others think it’s temporary madness. No matte r what, not that people think that love is not important. They are starved for it; they watch endless numbers of films about happy and unhappy love stories; they listen to hundreds of songs about love ?yet hardly anyone thinks that there is anything that needs to be learned about love.B)This particular attitude is based on several premises(前提) which either singly or collectively tend to give rise to it. Most people see the problem of love primarily as that of eing loved? rather than that of oving? of one capacity to love. In order to be loved, to be lovable, men try to get as rich, successful and powerful as their social positions permit; women are busily involved in making themselves attractive by working on their bodies, dresses, etc. Both men and women also develop pleasant manners, interesting conversation, to be helpful, modest and inoffensive(不冒犯人的).C) A second premise behind the attitude that there is nothing to be learned about love is the assumption that the problem of love is the problem of an bject? not the problem of a apacity? People think that to ove?is simple, but that to find the right object to love ?or to be loved by ?is difficult. There are several reasons behind it. One reason is the changed view of a ove object? Love no longer develops only after marriage is concluded as in traditional cultures. Romantic love, the personal experience of love, has become universal in modern culture. Freedom in love has greatly lifted the importance of the bject?D)Closely related to this reason is another characteristic of modern culture. Our culture is based on the appetite for buying, on the idea of a mutually(双方) favorable exchange. Modern man happiness lies in the excitement of looking at the shop windows, and in buying all that he can afford. He (or she) looks at people in a similar way. ttractive?is what men and women are after. It’s a package of qualities which are popular and wanted on the personality market. Two people fall in love when they have found the best object on the market.E)The third error leading to the attitude that there is nothing to be learned about love lies in the confusion(混淆) between the initial experience of alling?in love, and the permanent state of eing?in love. If two people who have been strangers suddenly let the wall between them break down, they feel close, feel one; this moment of oneness is one of the most exciting and wonderful experiences in life. However, this type of love is by its very nature not lasting. When the two persons become well acquainted(熟悉的), their intimacy is losing its magic until their mutual boredom(厌烦) kills whatever is left of the initial excitement.F)This attitude ?that nothing is easier than to love ?hascontinued to be spreading in our society. If any other activity, which is started with such huge hopes and expectations, and yet, fails so regularly, as love, people would be eager to know the reasons for the failure, to learn how to do better, or they would give up the activity. Since the latter is impossible in the case of love, there seems to be only one way to overcome the failure of love ?to examine the reasons for this failure, and to proceed to study the meaning of love.G)To learn about love is to learn about an art. That involves the mastery of the theory and the mastery of the practice. If I want to learn the art of medicine, I must first know the facts about the human body and various diseases. When I have all this theoretical knowledge, I am by no means competent in the art of medicine. Only after I have a great deal of practice, when my theoretical knowledge and my practice are blended into one ?my intuition, shall I become a master. Besides, there is a third factor necessary to becoming a master in any art ?the mastery of the art must be a matter of ultimate concern. This holds true for music, for medicine, for sports ?and for love.______11.It’s impossible for people to give up love and thus it’s necessary to find ways to overcome the failure of love.______12.People think love is important, but few people become aware that love is something that needs to be learned.______13.T o master the art of love, people should learn what makes love and practice it until the two are blended into one ?the intuition.______14.There is little reason to be surprised that human love relations follow the same pattern of exchange which governs the commodity(商品) and the labor market.______15.Two people being crazy about each other in thebeginning proves both the intensity of their love and the degree of their preceding loneliness.______16.Many of the ways men and women use to make themselves lovable are the ways used to make themselves successful, to win friends and influence people.______17.In many traditional cultures, love was mostly not a spontaneous(自发的) personal experience which then might lead to marriage, but was supposed to develop once the marriage had been concluded.Section CDirections: There are two passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneThe Internet is changing the way society communicates, processes information and knowledge. Some of these developments are exciting and challenging, but in one particular sense the Internet creates a fundamental challenge to the way humans interact.Today, Internet dating has become more or less accepted as a way of forming relationships. There has been some criticism, but it has usually been of the functional and operational(操作上的) kind, regarding membership costs or users providing false pictures or information. There has been little thought or comment on why matchmaking websites by itself might be a bad thing.Online matchmaking is conditioned on the idea of making rational choices. Internet dating is like shopping at LoveMart. We watch and read the adverts (people profiles) and we then, makea rational decision to try the product. The more choices we have, we are told, the better for making the choice.Furthermore, the way dating websites calculate(计算) matches distorts(扭曲) the very core of interpersonal relations. Online seekers of partners and friends rely on computer calculations of a set of hard questions. The questions that many of these websites use are so terrible (are you happy with your life?A. Yes,B. No,C. Most of the time? that they cannot reflect real conversations. THIS is not human interaction; it is a fundamental shift. Interpersonal relationships are being shifted into products that can be (supposedly) objectively measured and objectively chosen, even though such relations represent the exact opposite.In his book, Alain Badiou noted love ?this great irrational driver of humanity ?has become an object, which people wish to be fully informed about, choose rationally, and not suffer any unexpected disappointments from. It is, as philosopher Slavoj Zizek has noted, like caffeine-free coffee.Some critics have suggested that online dating is taking society back to a pre-modern version of arranged marriages. I would say it is worse. It has taken over the very essence(实质)of what it means to be human.18.What’s known about online dating?A) It has become the most popular way of forming relationships.B) It costs no money to become a member online.C) It provides false pictures and information for users.D) It is rarely criticized for its own sake(自身缘故).19.What’s the reason for online dating being introduced?A) To help users make rational choices.B) To provide users with many choices.C) To ask users to do shopping online.D) To help users to try the product before buying.20.How does online dating influence human interactions?A) It measures human interactions objectively.B) It makes human interactions objective.C) It can’n reflect the real human interactions.D) It can correct human interactions.21.What is 搇ove?according to Alain Badiou?A) Love is reasonable.B) Love is irrational.C) Love is disappointing.D) Love is surprising.22.What’s the writer attitude towards online dating?A) Disapproving.B) Encouraging.C) Faithful. D) Extreme.Passage TwoRomance in China is often sacrificed to practicality; dating has largely become a commercial transaction. In Beijing parents gather in parks to introduce their children to one another. Singles?clubs set people up according to requirements ?height, income, property. And tens of thousands participate in matchmaking events in cities like Shanghai looking for the perfect mate. arriage in many ways in China is a way of pulling resources,?says Roseann Lake, a Beijing-based journalist researching a book on heng nv? In one direction, at least, he idea that a woman, no matter how successful she is professionally, is absolutely nothing until she is married ?it still comes down to that.?Yes, China has experienced miraculous growth in the past three decades, but traditions are hard to shake. Confucian ethics stress that marriage must satisfy societal duty over individual desire.The one-child policy has further reinforced these expectations. In China, the young are expected to provide for theold: whom you marry matters for your entire family.These concerns aren’t evenly shared, and they expose something of a generation gap. Children of the 1980s and 1990s ?who were born in better economic times and fed on pop music and movies ?are in less of a hurry to get married than their parents were.Although China changed birth rate means there will be a surplus(过剩) of about 24 million men in China by 2020, the majority of these singles will live in rural areas. In major cities ?where the rate of housing costs to income can reach 12:1 ?finding a good match is a constant worry for educated, ambitious women.When Chinese Valentine Day nears, preparations for dozens of matchmaking events, most aimed at marriage, are picking up. At the Huanleyuan Culture Club, a singles?club in Beijing ?basic requirement: a college degree; annual membership fee: about $560 ?hundreds will be attending a gala matchmaking event. Ten thousand people are expected at a mass blind date in many cities. They l be looking not just for an attractive smile or that spark of chemistry, but also for the promise of money and connections.23.Which of the following best describes Chinese marriage?A) It is practiced with romance.B) It is based on practical aspects.C) It depends on Chinese economy.D) It is associated with parents?introduction.24.What’s the influence of the one-child policy?A) It puts societal duty before individual desire.B) It drives people to find partners of good resources.C) It makes the young generation develop a sense of responsibility.D) It helps improve the welfare system in China.25.What’s known about children of the 1980s and 1990s?A) They are less anxious about marriage.B) They are from economically good families.C) They learn a lot about pop music and movies.D) They follow the tradition of their parents?marriage.26.What can be drawn from the passage?A) More rural women will be singles in the near future.B) More urban women will be singles in the near future.C) More urban men will be singles in the near future.D) More rural men will be singles in the near future.27.What’s the writer attitude towards Chinese marriage?A) Critical.B) Positive.C) Neutral.D) Negative.Part III TranslationDirections: Translate the passage from Chinese into English.两人万万没有料到,英台应父命回家是因为其父做主,替英台与富家子马文才定了亲。

Reading ComprehensionPassage 1The French education system is very different from the English one in its aims, its organization and its results. The French child too, the raw material of this education, is unlike I the English child and differences in the raw material may well account for differences in the processes employed.The French child, boy or girl, gives one the impression of being intellectually more precocious (早熟的) than the product of the chillier English climate. This precocity is encouraged by his upbringing among adults, not in a nursery. English parents readily adapt their conversation to the child‘s point of view and interest themselves more in his games and child preoccupations. The English are, as regards national character, younger than the French, or, to put it another way, there is in England no deep division between the life of the child and that of the grown man. The art of talking to children in the kind of language they understand is so much an English art that most o f the French children‘s favorite books are translation from the English works.French parents, on the other hand, do their best to develop the child's intelligence as rapidly as possible. They have little patience with childish ideas even if they do not go so far as to look upon childhood as an unfortunate but necessary prelude to adult life. Not that they need to force the child, for he usually leads himself willingly to the process, and enjoys the effect of his unexpectedly clever remarks and strange sayings and of his interesting judgment of men and things. It is not without significance that the French mother, instead of appealing to the child‘s heart by asking him to be good, appeals to his reason by asking him to be wise. Reasonableness is looked for early in France, and the age of reason is fixed at seven years.21. In comparing French and English education, the author indicates that _______.A. a great deal can be learnt by both countriesB. differences should not be looked for only in methodsC. the French child needs far more training than the English childD. the main differences are in the children22. The passage suggests that the French child _______.A. is as he is because of the climateB. only associates with adultsC. is forced to behave like an adultD. is not treated as a child23. The word ―prelude‖ (Para. 3, Line 3) probably means _______.A. introductory stageB. consequent eventC. inevitable resultD. acceptable reason24. In comparison with French children, English children _______.A. are less intelligentB. can stand chillier climateC. receive more care from their parentsD. have shorter childhood25. French mothers _________.A. know how to appeal to what is best in their childrenB. are the most significant influence in the children‘s livesC. enjoy their children‘s unexpectedly clever remarksD. lack patience in everythingPassage 2―Culture shock‖ occurs as a result of total immersion in a new culture. It happens to ―people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad‖. Newcomers may be anxious because they do not speak the language, know the customs, or understand people‘s behavior in daily life. The visitor finds that ―yes‖ may not always mean ―yes‖, that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship, or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes. The foreigners may be unsure as to when to shake hands or embrace, when to initiate conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The notion of ―culture shock‖ helps explain feelings of bewilderment and disorientation. Language problems do not account for all the frustrations that people feel. When one is deprived of everything that was once familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.―... when an individual enters a strange culture, ... he or she is like fish out of water.‖Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong and consequently may feel alienated from the native member of the culture. When this happens, visitors may want to reject everything about the new environment and may glorify and exaggerate the positive aspects of their own culture. Conversely, visitors may scorn their native country by rejecting its values and instead choosing to identify with (if only temporarily) the values of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to over-identify with the new culture in order to be accepted by the people in it.26. Which of the following statements is true according to the author?A. Culture shock is bad to the society.B. A typical symptom of culture shock is confusion.C. Shock can become the motif.D. Culture shock happens to foreign students only.27. Newcomers may worry about _______.A. their knowledge of ―Yes‖ in the native languageB. their ability to make friendsC. their control of their behaviorD. their ignorance of the alien customs28. When the foreign visitor is immersed in new problems, he finds hard to cope with, he is mostlikely to feel _______.A. uninsuredB. frozenC. angryD. alienated29. The expression ―he or she is like a fish out of water‖ suggests _______.A. people away from their cultures can hardly survive in a new cultureB. a fish can not survive without waterC. people away from their cultures experience mental isolationD. people away from their cultures have to come back to the original environment30. In order to identify with the new environment, some people _______.A. give an exaggerated picture of their own countryB. abandon their original beliefsC. accept a temporary set of valuesD. criticize the positive aspects of their own countryIII. ClozeBusiness and government leaders also consider the inflation rate to be an important general indicator. Inflation is a period of increased 31 that causes rapid rises in prices. 32 your money buys fewer goods so that you get 33 for the same amount of money as before, inflation is the problem. There is a general rise 34 the price of goods and services. Your money buys less. Sometimes people describe inflation as a(n) 35 when ― a do llar is not worth a dollar anymore.‖Inflation is a problem for all consumers. People who live on a fixed income are hurt the 36 .
