二、阅读理解、完形填空题(共5道小题)
41. Psychologists tell us that there are five distinct phases (or stages) of culture shock.
During the first few days of a person’s stay in a new country, everything usually goes fairly smoothly. The newcomer is excited about being in a new place where there are new sights and sounds, new smells and tastes.
Unfortunately, this honeymoon phase often comes to an end fairly soon. The newcomer has to deal with transportation problems, shopping problems, or communication problems.
This may lead to the second stage of culture shock, known as the “rejection phase”. It is so called because it is at this point that the newcomer starts to reject the host country, complaining about and noticing
only the bad things that bother them.
If you don’t survive stage two successfully, you may find yourself moving into stage three: the “regression phase”. In this phase, you spend much of your time speaking your own language, watching videos from your home country, eating food from home. Your homeland may suddenly seem marvelously wonderful; all the difficulties that you had there are forgotten and you may find yourself wondering why you ever left.
If you survive the third stage successfully you will move into the fourth stage of culture shock called the “recovery phase”. In this stage you start to realize that no country is that much better than another—it is just different lifestyles and different ways to deal with the problems of life. With this complete adjustment, you accept the food, drinks, habits and customs of the host country, and you may even find yourself preferring some things in the host country to things at home. Finally you have become comfortable in the new place.
Much later, you may find yourself returning to your homeland and—guess what?—you may find yourself entering the fifth phase of culture shock. This is called “reverse culture shock”. You have been away for a long time, becoming comfortable with the habits and customs of a new lifestyle and you may find that you are no longer completely comfortable in your home country.
[共5题]

42. Almost everyone who studies, lives or works abroad experiences some degree of culture shock. This period of cultural adjustment involves everything from getting used to the food and language to
learning how to use the telephone. No matter how patient and flexible you are, adjusting to a new culture can, at times, be difficult and frustrating. It is easy to get lost, depressed and homesick. You may even want to go back home!
Donˇt panic these are all totally normal reactions and you are not alone. Sometimes it is hard
a wonderful opportunity to grow
to remember why you decided to leave home. You are on an adventure and learn
but it does not always seem that way. Although you cannot avoid culture shock entirely, we
have a number of tips that will help you get through difficult moments:
冘 Start a journal of the new things you come across every day and your reactions to your new home. Writing things down will help you keep them in perspective, and are funny to look back on!
冘 Never confuse your ability to speak the new language with your intelligence; it is easy to feel stupid and get down on yourself, but there is no reason to. It takes everyone some time to adjust and become comfortable with a new language.
冘 Be physically active! Walk, swim, run, play tennis or do some other physical activity you enjoy often. You will feel better, meet new people and keep in shape.
冘 Keep your sense of humor. Try, no matter how hard it is, to see something of value in every new experience and challenge you come across. Laugh now, not just later!
冘 Take advantage of services that your university, church or community offer. Contact a counselor at the International Students Office, a resident advisor if you live in residence halls, someone at your church
If you are having a problem with something, tell someone! They will want to help you, and you will feel a lot better having people to support you. Donˇt be afraid to speak up. [共5题]

43. It was a normal summer night. Humidity hung in the thick air.
I couldn’t go to sleep, partly because of my cold and partly because of my expectations for the next day. My mum had said that tomorrow was going to be a surprise.
Sweat stuck to my aching body. Finally, gathered enough strength to sit up. I looked out of my small window into the night. There was a big bright moon hanging in the sky, giving off a magic light.
I couldn’t stand the pressure anymore, so I did what I always do to make myself feel better. I went to the bathroom and picked up my toothbrush and toothpaste. I cleaned my teeth as if there was no tomorrow. Back and forth, up and down.
Then I walked downstairs to look for some signs of movement, some life. Gladiator, my cat, frightened me as he meowed his sad song. He was on the old orange couch, sitting up on his front legs, waiting for something to happen. He looked at me as if to say “I’m lonely, pet me. I need a good hug.” Even the couch begged me to sit on it.
In one movement I settled down onto the soft couch. This couch represented my parents’ marriage, my birth, and hundreds of other little events.
As I held Gladiator, my heart started beating heavily. My mind was flooded with question: What’s life? Am I really alive? Are you listening to me? Every time I moved my hand down Gladiator’s body, I had a new thought; each touch sang a different song.
I forgot all about the heat and the next day’s surprise. The atmosphere was so full of warmth and silence that I sank into its arms. Falling asleep with the big cat in my arms, I felt all my worries slowly move away.

44. Differences in American schools compared with those found in the majority of other countries lie in the fact that education here has long been intended for everyone — not just for a privileged elite. Schools are expected to meet the needs of every child, regardless of ability, and also the needs of society itself. This means that public schools offer more than academic subjects. It surprises many people when they come here to find high schools offering such courses as typing, sewing, repair of radio, computer programming or driver training, along with traditional academic subjects such as mathematics, history, and languages. Students choose their curricula depending on their interests, future goals, and level of ability. The underlying goal of American education is to develop every child to the utmost of his or her own possibilities, and to give each one a sense of civic and community consciousness.
Schools have traditionally played an important role in creating national unity and “Americanizing” the millions of immigrants who have poured into this country from many different backgrounds and origins. Schools still play a large role in the community, especially in the small towns.
The approach to teaching may seem unfamiliar to many, not only because it is informal, but also because there is not much emphasis on learning facts. Instead, Americans try to teach their children to think for themselves and to develop their own intellectual and creative abilities. Students spend much time, learning how to use resource materials, libraries, statistics and computers. Americans believe that if children are taught to reason well and to research well, they will be able to find whatever facts they need throughout the rest of their lives. Knowing how to solve problems is considered more important than the accumulation of facts.
