五.阅读理解
A
One side effect of globalization and the related phenomenon of greatly increased mobility (流动性) is that the__traditional__definition__of__“foreigner”__has__passed__its__“best before__date”.
Is a European who has lived in China longer than in his home country,becoming fluent in the language and knowing the culture well in the process,still a foreigner in China, or has he become more of a foreigner in his own hometown What about a Beijinger who had her schooling in Canada and then lived and worked there for another 20 years while raising a family who has no intention of returning to China Does she think and act like a foreigner What do we mean by this label (标签)
When I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago,the faces I would see during a walk through a local shopping mall back in the 1960s and 1970s included almost none of Asian descent (血统).Today the local malls are full of Asian faces, and a glance at the ranks of top scoring students in local schools reveals lots of Asian surnames.
To some extent,this is no great surprise in the American context, because America is a land of immigrants, and a cultural melting pot. Apart from the native American Indians, Americans are (or were),in some way,all foreigners anyway. Absorbing a large number of immigrants is an established pattern in American history.
In most places,the traditional foreigners were people who didn't speak or read the local languages well and were unfamiliar with local customs and lifestyles. But, nowadays, a foreigner walking down the street may have better SAT scores than you, or a higher degree from a better university.
The traditional role models are getting mixed up, and it looks like this is just the beginning of a new chapter.Today, the whole thing has totally changed. It's not about where people are from or what color their skins are. It's about who they are, what values and skills they bring, and how they think.
1.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean
A.The term “foreigner” should be redefined.
B.The term “foreigner” should no longer be used.
C.There are no more foreigners in the world today.
D.The term “foreigner” is not proper to define people.
2.What does the author tend to tell us by mentioning a European and a Beijinger
A.It's no longer proper to define foreigners according to their birthplaces.
B.The label of foreigners can never be removed.
C.Most foreigners can do well in learning languages.
D.It's impossible for a foreigner to get recognition abroad.
3.What can be inferred from the third paragraph
A.In 1960s and 1970s, Asians didn't shop in Chicago.
B.Today, more and more Asian travellers like to shop in Chicago.
C.There are more Asian people today than in the 1960s and 1970s in Chicago.
D.Most Asian students do well academically in the schools in Chicago.
4.What's the main idea of the passage
A.Globalization and mobility have caused more and more immigrants.
B.The standards of defining “foreigner” have thoroughly changed.
C.America is a cultural melting pot.
D.Immigration is a global social phenomenon.
B
Cameron Beck first started volunteering at the young age of 12. To his family, volunteering became part of life. The Becks would volunteer at the local food bank in California. Alongside his parents and sister, Cameron used to help select, organize, and pack food for the needy.
Today, Cameron spends every Saturday volunteering at Project Open Hand—a non profit organization that mainly provides meals for sick neighbors and seniors. And it also allows these people to shop in its store.
Cameron first heard about Project Open Hand when he was working on Polk Street. As he passed the store on his way to and from work each day, Cameron became eager to learn more, and allowed his curiosity to fuel his passion. Cameron quickly learned how Project Open Hand began with serving food to those living in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood—a neighborhood many low income or disabled people live in.
“When I realized they had been doing this kind of work for long and it was providing extraordinary benefits for people in need—especially in the Tenderloin where fresh and quality food is hard to gain—I realized this was the organization I wanted to lend a hand to,” says Cameron.
Cameron really enjoys volunteering. “Through my day job, I serve the people in my city,” says Cameron. “Sometimes, it can cause feelings of isolation (孤独), so volunteering really helps bring that social aspect into my life.”
Cameron has one piece of advice for those who have never volunteered: find an organization that matches your passion and just get started.
“Organizations are always looking for volunteers,” says Cameron. “And you'll learn about those opportunities once you open that door and reach out to the people. Just do something you love to do and enjoy doing it with others. ”
5.What do we know about the Becks
A.They ran a food bank.
B.It is a volunteering family.
C.It is the most famous local charity.
D.They all volunteered at the age of 12.
6.What does Cameron think of volunteering
A.It is a win win activity.
B.It satisfies his curiosity.
C.It makes him feel lonely.
D.It helps him with his study.
7.What does Cameron suggest according to the last paragraph
A.Doing whatever one likes.
B.Setting up an organization.
C.Taking part in social activities.
D.Trying one's best to volunteer.

六.完形填空
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。当下社会人人都显得忙忙碌碌。不愿意抽出哪怕片刻时间来思考。而作者认为只有给自己时间去思考,才能有效解决问题,进而获得人生的乐趣。
1.答案与解析:A 考查代词词义辨析。句意:不再有人说“还好”。nobody没有人;somebody有人;everybody每个人;anybody任何人。根据any more可知是短语“not...any more”,意思为“不再”,表示否定含义。故选A项。
2.答案与解析:B 考查名词词义辨析。句意:当人们工作不是超级忙的时候,他们就会疯狂地忙于锻炼或娱乐。home家庭;work工作;school学校;hospital医院。与下文“忙于锻炼、娱乐”相对应的通常是“忙于工作”。故选B项。
3.答案与解析:B 考查介词短语辨析。句意:如果有片刻的思考时间——例如,在超市排队等候时——手机就会出现。in order秩序井然;in line成一排,成一直线;in panic陷入恐慌;in public在公共场合。按照生活常识,“在超市排队”时是有空闲时间供我们思考的。故选B项。
4.答案与解析:B 考查形容词词义辨析。句意:我们是如此依赖手机,以至于人们似乎会找任何借口来保持忙碌的样子……focused注意力集中的;dependent依赖的;reliable可靠的;appealing吸引人的。故选B项。
5.答案与解析:C 考查名词词义辨析。place地点;reason理由;excuse借口;solution解决方案。根据上文out come the mobile phones可知,人们只要有一点儿空闲时间,就会看手机。手机是人们忙碌的借口。故选C项。
6.答案与解析:C 考查形容词词义辨析。句意:在实验中,大多数人发现独自思考仅仅6到15分钟就觉得不愉快。uncertain不确定的;unfair不公平的;unpleasant不愉快的;unwise不明智。根据上文提到人们依赖手机可知,人们不愿意思考,因此to be alone with their thoughts是人们不愿意做的事,会很不高兴。故选C项。
7.答案与解析:D 考查动词短语辨析。句意:这可能是因为我们在独处的时候,往往会纠结干自己生活中出了什么问题。leave out遗漏,省去;leave off停止;leave behind留下,遗留;leave alone不打扰,不理。根据上文to be alone with their thoughts可知,此处意思为“当人们不被打扰时,就会反思”。故选D项。
8.答案与解析:B 考查动词词义辨析。句意:除非有解决方案,否则这些想法只会在我们的脑海里不断反复出现。recover恢复;repeat重复;regain重获;recycle回收利用。如果这些难题得不到解决,它们就会一直缠绕在我们的脑海中,挥之不去。故选B项。
9.答案与解析:D 考查连词词义辨析。句意:但如果你不给自己时间去思考问题,你就无法解决问题。unless除非;while虽然,当……时;though虽然;if如果。作者认为如果你不去思考就无法解决问题。故选D项。
10.答案与解析:D 考查短语介词辨析。句意:这是由于我们的文化更看重行动而不是思考。apart from除……之外;more than多于;except for除……之外;rather than而不是。人们认为通过行动可以找到答案,而不是通过思考,该句是在提示我们思考的欠缺。故选D项。
11.答案与解析:B 考查名词词义辨析。句意:人们普遍认为,思考只会让你放慢脚步,碍你的事……。confidence自信,信心;belief认为,想法;challenge挑战;dream梦想。根据此处的句意可知。故选B项。
12.答案与解析:C 考查短语辨析。all the way一路上;by the way顺便说一句;in one's way挡住去路,妨碍;on one's way在路上。根据thinking will only slow you down可知,人们认为思考会阻碍前进的步伐。故选C项。
13.答案与解析:B 考查动词词义辨析。句意:……允许思潮涌动是解决问题的一部分……ban禁止;allow允许;remove移除;reduce减少。作者意在指出问题的解决需要我们给思考留出时间。故选B项。
14.答案与解析:D 考查动词短语辨析。句意:正是这些负面的感受,以及你如何处理它们,造就了你。meet with与……见面,遭遇;get away with做了错事而不受惩罚;keep pace with跟上节奏,保持同步;deal with处理,应对。在生活中我们要学会如何应对负面情绪。故选D项。
15.答案与解析:A 考查名词词义辨析。句意:虽然忙碌似乎可以把你从悲伤中拯救出来,但它也可能会使你远离快乐。joy快乐;relief解脱;anxiety焦虑;sorrow悲伤。句中while表示语义的转折。作者认为或许忙碌可以平复你的悲伤情绪,但与此同时它也使你不能开心快乐。故选A项。
