二、阅读理解(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)
A
During my first year of learning Chinese, I found that my high school had a sister-school-exchange program (项目) in Nanjing, China. Every summer, some students can study there and stay with host families for two and a half weeks. When I first heard about the chance to go to China, I knew I couldn’t miss it out.
Fast forward to a summer, I waved bye to my family and flew to Beijing. In the first morning in China, I experienced a Chinese breakfast unlike anything I had ever tried. We spent three days in Beijing, going around the city and visiting famous landmarks. The highlight of our trip was the Great Wall. Seeing it in person for the first time was amazing even though I had seen hundreds of videos and pictures before.
After our three days in Beijing, we took a bullet train to Nanjing, where we would stay with our host families and attend classes given by our sister school. Although my host family did not speak English, they were super welcoming, which made me feel at home. On weekdays, we attended different classes at our sister school, including cooking, music, Kung Fu, custom (习俗), art, etc. I learned a lot about Chinese culture and how different it is from the American lifestyle.
Although the study has been over, I am forever thankful to my high school for giving me the opportunity to exchange in China and to immerse (沉浸) myself in its culture and meet amazing friends who I still keep in touch with to this day. I hope that one day I will have the chance to return to China and perhaps even live there at some point in my life!

Most people who move to a foreign country may experience a period of time when they miss their hometown so much and have a lot of stress. This feeling is often called “culture shock”. It is important to understand it and learn how to deal with it if you want to adapt successfully to your new home’s culture.
Generally speaking, there are four stages (阶段) that you will experience after you move to a foreign country. The first stage is usually referred to (称为) as the “excitement” stage. When arriving in a new environment, you’ll be interested in the new culture. Everything will seem exciting and everyone will seem friendly.
But it won’t be long before you move from the “excitement” stage to the second stage— “stress” stage. It seems that everything is difficult. The language is hard to learn, friends are difficult to make, and even simple things like shopping have become a challenge. You are likely to feel worried and homesick (想家的) at this stage. This is the stage which is referred to as “culture shock. ”
However, culture shock doesn’t last for very long. If you are one of those who manage to overcome it, you’ll move to the “recovery” stage. At this stage, you start to understand and accept the way things are done and the way people behave in your new environment.
The last stage is the “home” stage. This is the stage when you start to feel at home in the new culture. You start to learn from your new home and like some aspects (方面) of the new culture better than those of your own culture.
Culture shock is normal. Everyone in a new situation will go through some form of it. Continue to be brave! And overcoming culture shock will be a piece of cake.
21.The underlined word “adapt” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.
A.Get used to B.Hear from C.Look forward to D.Grow up
22.At the “excitement’’ stage, people will ________.
A.find the new culture is hard to accept
B.miss their family and friends very much
C.begin to understand what culture shock is
D.have a good impression (印象) of the new culture
23.In which stage will people feel the most uncomfortable
A.“excitement” stage. B.“stress” stage.
C.“recovery” stage. D.“home” stage.

①He couldn’t understand German very well in class.
②After half a year’s hard work, he overcame his language problems.
③The university campus of Germany was amazing.
④He was more independent and loved to spend time with his German friends.
A.①②③④ B.②④③① C.③①②④ D.④②③①
25.The passage mainly tells us ________.

A report on my exchange visit to Shenzhen, China
Hi, I’m Bob, an exchange student in Shenzhen, China. This exchange visit has gone well. Let me tell you something about my life in China.
When I was studying in my school, my favorite subject is history from which I learnt a lot about Chinese culture and history. Since there are abundant activities, I had many chances to participate in different types of school clubs such as Go club and Drama Club that widen my eyes as well.
On weekends, I often go to the local beach-Dameisha or the neighbouring park with my friends. We also go shopping for entertainment sometimes. Last weekend, we experienced a new way of killing time by visiting the beautiful and quiet Wutong Mountain and enjoyed ourselves a lot.
Now, I have many friends in China. Li Hua, tall and thin, is one of them. He does well in both playing basketball and chess. He likes dolphins best so he often goes to watch the dolphin shows.
I really appreciate and enjoy the life of learning and living in China. I also want to visit China again with my family when they are available.2024沪教牛津版深圳八年级英语上册第三次月考测试卷 答题卡 姓名:______________________________________ 准考证号
