科目：高中英語 來源：2011-2012學(xué)年遼寧省葫蘆島市五校協(xié)作體高三8月模擬考試英語題 題型：閱讀理解

Since many of you are planning to study at a college or university in this country, you may be curious to know what you usually do in a typical week, how you can get along with your fellow students, and so on. These are the questions I want to discuss with you today.

First, let’s talk about what your weekly schedule will look like. No matter what your major may be, you can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures. Lectures are usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology or economics often have as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities. In lectures, it’s very important for you to take notes on what the professor says because the information in a lecture is often different from the information in your textbooks. Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on the lectures. So it isn’t enough to just read your textbooks; you have to attend lectures as well. In a typical week you will also have a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take. The discussion section is a small group meeting usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about the lectures, the reading, and the homework. In large universities, graduate students, called teaching assistants, usually direct discussion sections.

If your major is chemistry, or physics, or another science, you’ll also have to spend several hours a week in the lab, or laboratory, doing experiments. This means that science majors spend more time in the classroom than non science majors do. On the other hand, people who major in subjects like literature or history usually have to read and write more than science majors do.

1.The main purpose of this text is        .

A. to help the students to learn about university life 

B. to persuade the students to attend lectures

C. to encourage the students to take part in discussions

D. to advise the students to choose proper majors

2.We can learn from the passage that university professors        .

A. spend over 6 hours on lectures each week 

B. must join the students in the discussion sections

C. prefer to use textbooks in their lectures

D. require the students to read beyond the textbooks

3.A discussion section does NOT include        .

A. working under the guidance of university professors

B. talking over what the students have read about the courses

C. discussing the problems related to the students’ homework

D. raising questions about what a professor has said in a lecture

4.According to the author, science majors        .

A. have to work harder than non science majors

B. spend less time on their studies than non science majors

C. consider experiments more important than discussions

D. read and write less than non science majors

Cultural practices, cultural differences, local manners, and mores: traveling the globe can be a behavioral minefield, even when you have the best intentions. Everything from greeting to eating can be an opportunity to do the wrong thing, and not only embarrass yourself, but offend your host countrymen. Look out for the following cultural mistakes and try to avoid them while going abroad.

1.Touching Someone

Where It's Offensive

Korea, Thailand, China, Europe, the Middle East.

What's Offensive

In Mediterranean countries, if you don’t touch someone's arm when talking to them or if you don't greet them with kisses or a warm embrace, you'll be considered cold. But backslapping someone who isn't a family member or a good friend in Korea will make them uncomfortable. In Thailand, the head is considered sacred--never even pat a child on the head.

What You Should Do Instead

Observe what locals are doing and follow suit. In Eastern countries remember that touching and public displays of affection are unacceptable. In places like Qatar and Saudi Arabia, men and women are forbidden from talking, let alone touching.

2.Blowing Your Nose

Where It's Offensive

Japan, China, Saudi Arabia, France

What's Offensive

Some cultures find it disgusting to blow your nose in public--especially at the table. The Japanese and Chinese also dislike it even with a handkerchief.

What You Should Do Instead

If traveling through Eastern and Asian countries, don’t use handkerchief but choose disposable（可溶解的）tissues. In France and in Eastern countries, if you're dining and need to clear your nose, excuse yourself and head to the restroom.

3.Talking Over Dinner

Where It's Offensive

Africa, Japan, Thailand, China, Finland.

What's Offensive

In some countries, like China, Japan, and some African nations, don't start chatting while everyone else is digging into dinner, because mealtimes are for eating, not talking. Also avoid conversations in places a country might consider sacred or reflective---churches in Europe, temples in Thailand, and saunas in Finland.

What You Should Do Instead

Keep quiet!

4.Removing Your Shoes…or Not

Where It's Offensive

Hawaii, the South Pacific, Korea, China, Thailand

What's Offensive

Taking off shoes when arriving at the door of a London dinner party will be regarded as uncivilized, but failing to remove your shoes before entering a home in Asia, Hawaii, or the Pacific Islands will be considered disrespectful.

What You Should Do Instead

If you see a row of shoes at the door, start undoing your laces. If not, keep the shoes on.

5.Knowing Your Right from Your Left

Where It's Offensive

India, Morocco, Africa, the Middle East

What's Offensive

Many cultures still prefer to eat using traditional methods--their hands. In these cases, food is often shared, which is why it's important to wash your hands before eating and observe the right-hand-is-for-eating and the left-hand-is-for-other-duties rule. If you eat with your left hand, expect your fellow diners to be offended.

What You Should Do Instead

Left-handed? Attempt to be ambidextrous --- even children who are left-handed in these cultures are taught to eat with their right hand.

1.In which country can you greet someone with a kiss?

       A. Thailand    B. England     C. Qatar  D. Hawaii

2.If you’re in Japan and you’ve got a bad cold, what should you do at dinner?

       A. Excuse yourself and leave for home.       B. Blow your nose with a handkerchief.

       C. Use some disposable tissues when needed D. Go to the restroom.

3.Before entering your friend’s house in a foreign country, you’d better ______.

       A. greet the host or hostess first    B. follow others’ behaviors

       C. remove your shoes first     D. respect their customs

4. To enjoy your dinner in India, you have to ______.

       A. avoid talking over dinner  B. keep your shoes on

       C. share food with others      D. eat with your right hand
