IV. 阅读理解(30分)
阅读下列短文,从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。(共20小题,每小题1.5分)
A
Most people who live ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) abroad for a period experience difficulties in adjusting to(适应) the new culture. This is commonly called "culture shock". The term "culture shock" was introduced for the first time in 1958 to describe the worries produced when a person moves to a completely new environment.
In order to un ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )derstand culture shock, one must remember that our ability to work in the world depends on our capacity (能力) to read hundreds of signs and behave according to countless(无数的) different kinds of rules. At home we know how to read street signs, how to use the telephone, and how to order dishes. Much of what we do in our daily life is easy and requires little thought.
Abroad, simple ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) tasks become difficult because we don't know how to behave. Our actions and words don't get the expected responses, and we don't understand the messages we are getting: We are facing new ways of thinking, valuing, and doing things. Sometimes, our common sense is no longer useful. This disorientation (迷惘) that can cause serious stress is culture shock. Luckily, culture shock is manageable. If we are prepared for it, we can do something to reduce its effects.
Culture sho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ck is a cycle of adjustment that may take a lot of time. The cycle has four basic periods, and most people experience at least two periods during their stay abroad. However, the length and seriousness of these periods are different for different people, and culture shock can even make one develop a better understanding of himself or herself.
( ) 36. When was the term "culture shock" introduced firstly
A. In 1985. B. In 1958.
C. In 1859. D. In 1895.
( ) 37. What does ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the writer think of most things we do in our everyday life
A. Difficult. B. Easy.
C. Interesting. D. Boring.
( ) 38. Which of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) following is NOT the reason of simple tasks getting difficult abroad
A. We don't know how to behave.
B. Our words don’t get the expected responses.
C. We don't have any friends or relatives abroad.
D. We don't understand the messages we are getting.
( ) 39. How m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )any basic periods do most people experience during their stay abroad
A. More than two. B. More than three.
C. At least three. D. At least two.
( ) 40. What does this passage mainly talk about
A. New culture. B. Culture shock.
C. Living abroad. D. Serious stress.
B
We convince (使相信) o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )urselves that life will be better after we get married and have a baby. But then we are annoyed that the kids aren’t old enough and we'll be happier when they are older.
After that, we'r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e annoyed that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We often think that our life will be complete when we get a nicer car and when we retire. The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when
Your life will al ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ways be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this and to be happy anyway.
One of my favourite ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) quotes (名言) comes from Alfred D. Souse. He said, “For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin — real life. But there were always some obstacles (阻碍) in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt (债务) to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned (开始清楚) on me that these obstacles were my life.”
These words have h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )elped me to see that there is no way to happiness and happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you share it with someone special, special enough to spend your time, and remember that time waits for no one.
( ) 41. According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to the writer, when do we think our life will be complete
① When we get a nicer car.
② When we get a big house.
③ When we retire.
④ When we have grandchildren.
A. ①② B. ③④
C. ②④ D. ①③
( ) 42. What does the writer know from Alfred D. Souse's words
A. Real life is about to begin.
B. Happiness is the way.
C. There is no happiness.
D. Real life never begins.
( ) 43. When is the best time to be happy
A. In the past. B. At present.
C. In the future. D. We don't know.
( ) 44. What does the underlined word “treasure” mean
A. Speak loudly. B. Sit quietly.
C. Be happy. D. Value highly.
( ) 45. What does the writer mainly want to tell us
A. To face the challenges.
B. To wait for happiness.
C. To make more money.
D. To be happy now.
