【題目】 Do you think studying in a different country is something that sounds very exciting? Certainly, it is a new experience. However, there are also some problems you will meet. Because you may have difficulty getting used to a new culture. This is culture shock .

Actually, at least four main periods of culture-shock appear. The first period is called “the honeymoon ( 蜜月)”. In this period, you feel excited about living in a different place, and everything seems to be fun. You like everything, and everybody seems to be so nice to you. Also, the happy life in a new culture seems as if it will have no ending.

However, the second period of culture shock appears. This is the “enemy period”. You get to notice that not everything is as good as you had thought it was. You become tired of many things about the new culture. Besides, people don’t treat you as a guest anymore. Everything that seemed to be so wonderful before is now terrible.

After you deal with your enemy feelings, you come to the third period called “getting good again”. In this period, you will feel more active, and you try to develop understanding of everything you don’t understand. The whole situation becomes better; you feel well from the symptoms of the first two periods, and you adapt yourself to the new values and traditions of the new country. You get to see that even the culture is different from your own, it has something that you can learn from.

The last period of culture shock is called “nature”. In this period, you have reached a point where you actually feel good because you have learned enough to understand the new culture. The things that made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand. Now you feel comfortable, and you have adapt yourself to the new culture.

In fact, culture shock is something you must experience when living in a foreign country. It does not seem like a very useful experience when you are going through its four periods. However, when you have got used to a new culture, you can more fully enjoy it. You learn how to communicate with other people, and learning about other cultures helps you learn more about yourself.

去國外學(xué)習(xí)好像是一個(gè)很令人興奮的經(jīng)歷,但經(jīng)歷不同的文化也會(huì)給你帶來很多問題和麻煩,這就是文化沖擊。短文中分析了文化沖擊的四個(gè)階段,并告訴我們經(jīng)歷了這四個(gè)階段,習(xí)慣了一種新的文化,你就可以更充分地享受它,而且了解其他文化也有助于了解自己。

1細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段“Do you think studying in a different country is something that sounds very exciting? Certainly, it is a new experience. However, there are also some problems you will meet. Because you may have difficulty getting used to a new culture.”可知,在國外學(xué)習(xí)時(shí),你會(huì)感覺非常興奮,同時(shí)也會(huì)遇到一些問題。故選C。

2推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“In this period, you feel excited about living in a different place, and everything seems to be fun. You like everything, and everybody seems to be so nice to you. Also, the happy life in a new culture seems as if it will have no ending.”可知,這一段介紹的是文化沖擊的第一個(gè)階段——蜜月期,在這個(gè)階段,你會(huì)感覺國外的一切永遠(yuǎn)都會(huì)是好的。故選D。

3細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“This is the ‘enemy period’. You get to notice that not everything is as good as you had thought it was. You become tired of many things about the new culture. Besides, people don’t treat you as a guest anymore. Everything that seemed to be so wonderful before is now terrible.”可知,第二個(gè)階段是“敵對期”,你厭倦了很多事情,感覺一切都很糟糕。A選項(xiàng)“厭煩的,煩人的”符合這一時(shí)期的感受,故選A。

4詞義猜測題。根據(jù)語境“you feel well from the symptoms of the first two periods, and you adapt yourself to the new values and traditions of the new country.”“你從前兩個(gè)階段的……中感覺良好,使自己使用 這個(gè)新的價(jià)值觀念和傳統(tǒng)”。A“影響”;B“疾病”;C“改變”;D“區(qū)別,不同”。結(jié)合語境可知A選項(xiàng)符合文意,故選A。

5推理判斷題。根據(jù)文意可知,短文分析了文化沖擊的四個(gè)階段,以及每個(gè)階段的感受,了解了這些,我們就可以更好地調(diào)節(jié)自己,使自己更好、更快地適應(yīng)新的環(huán)境。D選項(xiàng)“如何應(yīng)對生活在新文化中的沖擊”符合文章的寫作目的,故選D。

這是一篇說明文,短文介紹了什么是文化沖擊以及文化沖擊的四個(gè)階段。文章主題明確,結(jié)構(gòu)清晰,是總分總的結(jié)構(gòu),有利于學(xué)生們把握文章主旨。短文篇幅較長,有一定的生詞和一些長難句,在理解上有一定的難度。題型是閱讀理解,題目設(shè)置了細(xì)節(jié)理解、詞義猜測和推理判斷,考查比較全面。做題時(shí),應(yīng)先通讀短文,尤其注意首段首尾句和尾段首尾句,這是文章主旨句經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的位置,這樣可有利于快速把握文章話題和主旨大意。然后根據(jù)題目所問,鎖定關(guān)鍵詞,在原文進(jìn)行定位,并綜合選項(xiàng)信息作答。如第2小題和第3小題,可由題干中的paragraph 2the second period定位到短文的第二段和第三段,再從這兩段中尋找具體的信息選擇答案。

【題目】 Can you remember a time when somebody was kind to you? Perhaps a person allowed you to go in front of him or her in a long line. 1 Or perhaps a stranger or a friend helped you in a much deeper way. There are many ways to offer kindness. Few people would disagree with the idea that an act of kindness is a win-win situation. 2

Many organizations try to encourage people to do kind acts, wherever and whenever they can. The idea behind this is that it doesn’t take much to be kind, just a little bit of effort. 3 It works with schools and companies to teach people kindness skills. It holds the belief that kindness can be taught and can spread.

According to the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation, there are three kinds of kindness. 4 Some examples are giving away old clothes to people in need or writing a positive online comment (積極的網(wǎng)上評論) about a restaurant that you like. The second is environmental kindness, which could mean simple recycling or organizing a group event to clean up a local park or beach. The third is personal kindness, which means treating yourself kindly. 5 By being kind to yourself, you will be kinder to the world around you.

根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容, A-E 五個(gè)句子填入文中空白處,使材料完整、通順。

A.The first is interpersonal kindness.

B.Maybe your sister phoned you to ask how your week was going.

C.Some examples are taking a walk in nature or watching a film after a week’s hard work.

D.Perhaps the strongest supporter of this idea is the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation.

E.It benefits (使受益) both the receiver of this kind action and the person who does the action.

【題目】 It has long been considered one of the best companies, but do you have what it takes to work for Google?

It may take a sharp mind, as an American author says that the search engine giant (搜索引擎巨人) asks its interviewees to answer difficult question.

William Poundstone believes that he has unlocked the secret of how to succeed in an interview at Google in a new book, Are You Smart Enough to Work at Google?

Poundstone lists several of the brain teasers (腦筋急轉(zhuǎn)彎) that are said to be used by Google interviewers, from “can you swim faster in water or in syrup (糖漿)?” to “how would you weigh your head?”

Poundstone told ABC News that any Google’s questions are open-ended on purpose. The interviewer’s goal is to see how the thinking process of the applicant (應(yīng)聘者) works, and to test his or her creativity when solving problems. He suggests the applicant should “retell the question” in their own words, as doing so gives them time to think and makes sure that they understand what is being asked.

Some of Google’s brain teasers:

* Why are manhole covers (下水道井蓋) round?

* How much toilet paper would you need to cover Texas?

* You are shrunk (縮小) to the height of a nickel (五分硬幣) and thrown in a blender (攪拌機(jī)).

The blades (刀片) start moving in 60 seconds. What do you do?

* How much should you charge (開價(jià)) to wash all the windows in Seattle?

* How many times a day do a clock’s hands overlap (重疊)?

1What does it take to work for Google according to Poundstone?

A.A strong body.B.Hard work.C.A sharp mind.D.An open heart.

2What does the underlined word “unlocked” mean in the passage?

A.探索B.宣布C.傳播D.破解

3What is it mainly about in William Poundstone’s new book?

A.How to test whether you are a smart person.

B.How to get a job in Google successfully.

C.What questions an interviewer should ask.

D.How to take part in interview training.

4Why are Google’s questions open-ended?

A.To see the solving process the applicant uses.

B.Because those questions are not reasonable.

C.To test the applicant’s knowledge.

D.To see whether the applicant can communicate well.

5What’s the best title for the passage?

A.Are you smart enough to work at Google?

B.Poudstone’s work experience in Google.

C.Some of Google’s brain teasers.

D.How the best company interviews applicants.
