选择性必修第二册 UNIT 2 BRIDGING CULTURES
用所给词的适当形式填空,并背诵短文。
feel at home;cooperate;motivate;expect;overwhelm;firm
I have studied for business qualifications in China for one year.I recall that faced with complex surroundings and dramatic changes,I suffered from tremendous pressure and 1.overwhelming homesickness,which made me depressed in the beginning.But being an ambitious,optimistic and mature student,I managed 2.to motivate myself to step out of my comfort zone.I grasped every chance to speak up and offer logical presentations in class,enabling myself to become competent.I engaged in the Literature Club to strengthen my literary outlook on life.I got involved in the Basketball Association so that I could learn to 3.cooperate with others.There is no denying that all of them could make me see things from different angles and have more reasonable insights into daily affairs.As far as I'm concerned, exposed to the surrounding settings,I gradually 4.felt at home.Just as the old saying goes,“No pains,no gains.” Now I can behave properly.Besides, because I was on a tight budget,I took up a position as a tutor to cover my daily expenses and tuition fees.Now my ambition is to become an advisor for exchange students while broadening my global perspective.I 5.firmly believe that I am qualified for the job.Whatever the outcome is,I'm confident that I'll live up to my 6.expectations.

(2024·广西柳州高三模拟)
Some Ugandan students study traditional Chinese craft, which helps build bridges through art. With its balanced, rounded pot and cups, the tea set seems like Chinese ceramic (陶瓷) at first glance. But closer inspection of its pattern reveals an ancient Ugandan design. “My projects always aim to join some aspects of Chinese and Ugandan culture together,” says the tea set's creator, Ocen Robert.
Robert arrived in China from the East African nation to pursue a higher education in ceramic arts at Jingdezhen Ceramic University in East China's Jiangxi province in 2015.The Ugandan is also enrolled in a PhD program focusing on design, with his art pieces sold at national level exhibitions in China.
“I like it here not only because of its safety, but the raw materials and the production techniques for ceramics here are also among the best in the world,” he says. During his stay in China, Robert was given many chances to participate in ceramic production, exhibitions and even access to experts—all helping to grow the space where he could express his creativity.
Robert spends most of his free time in local museums' culture and history sections so as to deepen his understanding and passion for traditional Chinese culture. He also gets to know Chinese professionals inside and outside the ceramic world. “I would love to solidify my career as an artist here while helping to link Uganda and China,” Robert says.
“Ugandans are thankful, curious, and passionate about Chinese culture. I would love to introduce the artists back home to study and create ceramic artworks in China and promote them to the world.”
Robert says, “To be a modern artist in Chinese ceramics, one needs to comprehend the full flow of production, which requires years of practice and learning.” One of the most challenging areas of creating his pieces involves creating the “ideal shape and thickness”. He says, “I fail at times, but I always practice and try again and again.” Robert has attained the essential spirit of Chinese ceramic arts—accepting and integrating the differences.

(2024·重庆高三模拟)
“A fish out of water.” “A bike without a chain.” There are many metaphors for culture shock, all of which attempt to describe the unique experience of being far from one's home country and culture.
Scientists have studied culture shock for over a century. Rather than focus on the purely negative aspects, psychologists describe it as a process of stress and adjustment. The first stage is the honeymoon phase, when we are filled with excitement about being in another country. Eventually, as daily challenges arise, we enter a state of crisis and anxiety, harboring unfriendly feelings about the host culture. The longer we are immersed in the culture, we adjust and recover from those negative feelings. Finally, after some time we adjust even more and fully accept the new culture.
One of the factors that determines how we react to cultural stress is our personality. Not surprisingly,extraverts (外向者) tend to have an easier time adjusting to new cultures. That is because being in a new country means meeting many new people and spending a lot of time around them, and extraverts thrive in these situations. But introverts simply prefer to be alone after spending time in groups, and only have limited energy to spend in social settings.
Cultural intelligence, or CQ, also plays its part. Cultural intelligence is defined as the capability of an individual to function effectively in situations characterized by cultural diversity. It has to do with our interest in interacting with people from culturally diverse backgrounds, and our ability to adapt to new cultural context. It is argued that the higher our CQ, the lesser the effect of culture shock on our ability to cope in new situations.
Many effective coping strategies are interpersonal. A recent study found that relating to others with empathy is significantly associated with lower stress levels abroad. The more we are able to take on other people's points of view, the more positive our interpersonal relationships and thus our adaptation to the stress of culture shock.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了文化冲击的含义、遭受文化冲击的原因和应对文化冲击的方法。
5.What is the function of the first paragraph?( C )
A.Explaining the quotes.
B.Raising an argument.
C.Introducing the topic.
D.Presenting an example.
解析:推理判断题。根据文章第一段“‘A fish out of water.’‘A bike without a chain.’There are many metaphors for culture shock, all of which attempt to describe the unique experience of being far from one's home country and culture.”以及第二段开始谈到一个多世纪以来,科学家一直在研究文化冲击。心理学家将其描述为一个压力和调整的过程,而不是专注于纯粹的消极方面。由此可推知,第一段用两个习语引出“文化冲击”这一主题。故选C。
6.How will a person feel the moment he arrives in a foreign country?( B )
A.Anxious. B.Thrilled.
C.Shocked. D.Grateful.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段“The first stage is the honeymoon phase, when we are filled with excitement about being in another country.”可知,人们刚到国外时的感觉是兴奋的。故选B。

A.An active boy interested in anything new.
B.A shy boy unwilling to socialize with strangers.
C.A quiet girl open to diverse cultural backgrounds.
D.A communicative girl fluent in the local language.
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段“Not surprisingly, extraverts (外向者) tend to have an easier time adjusting to new cultures.”以及“But introverts simply prefer to be alone after spending time in groups, and only have limited energy to spend in social settings.”可推知,内向、不善交际的人更容易受文化冲击的影响。故选B。
8.What is important for dealing with the cultural shock?( D )

Involve yourself in family activities. If you spend all your time in your room, it's going to be hard to feel like you belong. Getting involved in everyday activities with your host family will help you create a family bond. For example, some families like having dinner together on weekends.2(____) Not only will they appreciate it, but you will also feel like a part of their world.
Be patient with yourself. Keep in mind that you've just left everything you've known for years behind to start a new life. It's okay to be confused.3(____) While you may know the language, some expressions and slang can be hard to grasp at first. Take it easy. Remember you will adapt but it will take some time.
Communication is key. If you are unsure about something, ask! It's normal to know few customs and habits at first.4(____) Your host family will understand and help you. It's also normal not to know a lot about unspoken social rules of the country.
5(____) You have to understand that host families are not just providing a roof over your head. They are making significant changes to their daily routines. Thank them for their kindness, patience and understanding. Let them know how much their assistance means to you.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。在国外生活和学习时,和寄宿家庭住在一起是让自己沉浸在当地文化中的最好方式之一。文章介绍了与寄宿家庭一起生活、充分利用寄宿家庭这一经历的一些建议。
1.G 解析:上文“Living and studying abroad can be a rewarding and enriching experience.And living with a host family is one of the best ways to immerse yourself in its culture. However, living with a foreign family can be difficult and adjusting to it can take some effort.”指出在国外生活和学习时,与寄宿家庭一起生活是让自己沉浸在当地文化中的最佳方式之一,但是与外国家庭一起生活可能会很困难,适应它可能需要一些努力。空处应承接上文,并引出下文中所给的建议。G项“这里有一些充分利用寄宿家庭经历的建议。”符合语境。故选G项。
2.B 解析:上文“For example, some families like having dinner together on weekends.”指出一些家庭周末喜欢一起吃饭,下文“Not only will they appreciate it, but you will also feel like a part of their world.”指出参与这些活动的好处,故B项“为那些时刻腾出时间。”承上启下,符合语境。故选B项。
3.C 解析:上文“Keep in mind that you've just left everything you've known for years behind to start a new life. It's okay to be confused.”提到在国外学习生活意味着放弃多年来所了解的一切,开始新的生活,困惑是正常的。C项中的also和前文形成递进关系,“The language barrier”和下文的“some expressions and slang can be hard to grasp”相呼应,说明语言障碍也是适应过程中的一项挑战。故选C项。
4.D 解析:上文“If you are unsure about something, ask! It's normal to know few customs and habits at first.”指出如果有不确定的事情一定要问,刚开始对风俗习惯所知甚少是正常的。D项中的“just ask”和前文中的“If you are unsure about something, ask!”相呼应,且与上文形成因果关系。故选D项。
5.E 解析:下文“You have to understand that host families are not just providing a roof over your head. They are making significant changes to their daily routines.Thank them for their kindness, patience and understanding.”提到寄宿家庭为你做出了改变,所以要心怀感激之情。E项“表达你的感激之情会让你走得更远。”适合作本段的主旨句,统领全段。故选E项。(共90张PPT)

(2024·广西柳州高三模拟)
Some Ugandan students study traditional Chinese craft, which helps build bridges through art. With its balanced, rounded pot and cups, the tea set seems like Chinese ceramic (陶瓷) at first glance. But closer inspection of its pattern reveals an ancient Ugandan design. “My projects always aim to join some aspects of Chinese and Ugandan culture together,” says the tea set's creator, Ocen Robert.
Robert arrived in China from the East African nation to pursue a higher education in ceramic arts at Jingdezhen Ceramic University in East China's Jiangxi province in 2015.The Ugandan is also enrolled in a PhD program focusing on design, with his art pieces sold at national level exhibitions in China.
“I like it here not only because of its safety, but the raw materials and the production techniques for ceramics here are also among the best in the world,” he says. During his stay in China, Robert was given many chances to participate in ceramic production, exhibitions and even access to experts—all helping to grow the space where he could express his creativity.
Robert spends most of his free time in local museums' culture and history sections so as to deepen his understanding and passion for traditional Chinese culture. He also gets to know Chinese professionals inside and outside the ceramic world. “I would love to solidify my career as an artist here while helping to link Uganda and China,” Robert says.
“Ugandans are thankful, curious, and passionate about Chinese culture. I would love to introduce the artists back home to study and create ceramic artworks in China and promote them to the world.”
Robert says, “To be a modern artist in Chinese ceramics, one needs to comprehend the full flow of production, which requires years of practice and learning.” One of the most challenging areas of creating his pieces involves creating the “ideal shape and thickness”. He says, “I fail at times, but I always practice and try again and again.” Robert has attained the essential spirit of Chinese ceramic arts—accepting and integrating the differences.

(2024·重庆高三模拟)
“A fish out of water.” “A bike without a chain.” There are many metaphors for culture shock, all of which attempt to describe the unique experience of being far from one's home country and culture.
Scientists have studied culture shock for over a century. Rather than focus on the purely negative aspects, psychologists describe it as a process of stress and adjustment. The first stage is the honeymoon phase, when we are filled with excitement about being in another country. Eventually, as daily challenges arise, we enter a state of crisis and anxiety, harboring unfriendly feelings about the host culture. The longer we are immersed in the culture, we adjust and recover from those negative feelings. Finally, after some time we adjust even more and fully accept the new culture.
One of the factors that determines how we react to cultural stress is our personality. Not surprisingly,extraverts (外向者) tend to have an easier time adjusting to new cultures. That is because being in a new country means meeting many new people and spending a lot of time around them, and extraverts thrive in these situations. But introverts simply prefer to be alone after spending time in groups, and only have limited energy to spend in social settings.
Cultural intelligence, or CQ, also plays its part. Cultural intelligence is defined as the capability of an individual to function effectively in situations characterized by cultural diversity. It has to do with our interest in interacting with people from culturally diverse backgrounds, and our ability to adapt to new cultural context. It is argued that the higher our CQ, the lesser the effect of culture shock on our ability to cope in new situations.
Many effective coping strategies are interpersonal. A recent study found that relating to others with empathy is significantly associated with lower stress levels abroad. The more we are able to take on other people's points of view, the more positive our interpersonal relationships and thus our adaptation to the stress of culture shock.

6.How will a person feel the moment he arrives in a foreign country?( )
