Ⅳ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了一名外国女孩在中国学习汉语并积极促进两国文化交流的故事。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“She made many friends from China, which gradually solved her obstacles in language communication and made herself better adapted to life in China.”可知,Xiaoxiao 在中国交了很多朋友,这些朋友帮助她逐渐解决了语言交流上的困难,使她更好地适应了中国的生活,交中国朋友可以帮助Xiaoxiao提升中文水平,从而与他人交流更轻松。故选D项。
2.A 词义猜测题。根据第三段“…she discovered that the language she had spent two years learning is actually the Chongqing dialect.” 可知,Xiaoxiao 发现自己学了两年的汉语其实是重庆方言,画线词是对重庆方言的描述。再根据画线词的后半部分“…that even a Chongqing local would be hard to tell that she is a foreigner by just hearing her voice.”可知,即使是重庆当地人也很难通过她所说的话辨别出她是外国人,说明她的重庆方言说得很地道。故选A项。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第三段倒数第二句“As Xiaoxiao thought Chongqing dialect was standard Chinese, she took considerable efforts to be good at it.”及第四段第一句“But she is more interested in doing something that helps the two countries understand each other.”可知,Xiaoxiao下了很大的工夫来学习汉语并且希望做一些能够帮助两个国家了解彼此的事情。通过这些事例可以体现出她是一个既努力又有责任感的女孩。故选D项。
4.B 推理判断题。通读全文内容可知,文章主要讲述了Xiaoxiao来中国学习汉语并积极促进两国文化交流的故事,所以本文最可能出现在与文化相关的杂志上。故选B项。
Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了克服文化差异的几条建议。
1.G 根据上文“Today,many of us plan to travel to a different country for study or business.”可知,当今我们许多人计划去不同的国家学习或做生意,G项“Thus, we must always be prepared to encounter and overcome cultural differences. (因此我们必须随时准备遇到和克服文化差异。)”承接上文,且与下文“Here are a couple of tips on how to help bridge the gap between cultures. (这有一些帮助弥合文化差异的建议。)”承接自然。故选G项。
2.F 上文“Read up on the culture we’ll be encountering.”是本段的小标题,提示本段是在谈论了解我们将要遇到的文化,F项承接上文且与下文“Not only will it be personally enriching, but it will also give us a way to connect with the local people. (这不仅能丰富我们的个人生活,还能让我们与当地人民建立联系。)”承接自然。故选F项。
3.C 上文“Learn the language.”是本段的小标题,提示本段是在讨论语言学习的话题。C项“Why spend more time learning a whole new language ”提出了问题,承接下文“Well, the fact that almost everyone can already speak English makes learning a foreign language all the more impressive.”。故选C项。
4.D 上文“Be patient.”是本段的小标题,提示本段是在讨论耐心的话题,与D项“When this happens, it is important to stay patient and be accepting.”中stay patient一致。故选D项。
5.B 上文“Keep an open mind.”是本段的小标题,提示本段是在讨论保持开放的心态的话题,与B项“We have to be open to trying and learning new things.”一致。下文“Always try to think about how they see things from their cultural perspective(视觉);doing so will give us a better understanding of their corner of the world.”讲换个文化角度思考也是一种尝试,也与B项表达的一致。故选B项。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“第三文化孩子”这一概念,以及这种跨文化经历给孩子带来的优势和弊端。
1.totally 考查副词。空处修饰形容词different,应用副词。故填totally。
2.was used 考查时态和语态。根据in the 1960s可知,时态应用一般过去时,句中the term “third-culture kid”和use之间为被动关系,故应用一般过去时的被动语态,故填was used。
3.researching 考查省略句。空格处为while引导的时间状语从句,从句主语和主句主语一致,且从句谓语中包含be动词,故省略从句中的主语和be动词,还原之后的句子为“while she was researching North American children living in India”, research意为“研究”,句子主语she与research之间为逻辑上的主动关系,故应用research的现在分词形式researching。故填researching。
4.from 考查介词。benefit from是固定短语,意为“从……中获益”。故填from。
5.difficulties 考查名词复数。many修饰可数名词复数,故此处应用复数形式difficulties。故填difficulties。
6.themselves 考查反身代词。adapt oneself to…是固定短语,意为“使自己适应或习惯于……”。故填themselves。
7.to develop 考查非谓语动词。find it hard to do sth是固定句型,意为“发现做某事很难”,句中it为形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的不定式结构。故填to develop。
8.easier 考查形容词比较级。根据句意和句中关键词than可知,句中把“移居到一个新的国家”和“回到自己的祖国”进行对比,应用比较级easier。故填easier。
9.where 考查定语从句。句意:例如,在澳大利亚生活多年后,Louis终于回到了她出生的国家。句子为定语从句,先行词country在从句中作地点状语,故应用关系副词where引导从句。故填where。
10.or 考查连词。根据句中didn’t可知,句子为否定句,句中TV shows和fashion trends为并列关系,即对当前的电视节目“和”时尚潮流一无所知,否定句中应用连词or连接并列成分。故填or。Unit 2 BRIDGING CULTURES
How to live with a host family
如今,许多留学生都选择住在寄宿家庭,那么留学生们该怎样适应一个有着不同文化的陌生家庭呢
Studying abroad is full of adventures—everything is different and exciting, including your new host family. All of a sudden, you’re sharing everything with new people whom you’ve never seen before. It will take time to learn how to behave in these new surroundings. To get the most out of your time with your temporary family, you can check out the following tips.
Be open and communicate
If you are allergic to peanuts, don’t like seafood, or have a fear of dogs of all sizes, tell your host family about it right away. Generally speaking, they will have learned the most important facts about you from your paperwork, but some things cannot be stressed enough—especially when it comes to health issues.
Attend the family meals
Food is a great social lubricant (润滑剂) across cultures. Try to be at home for meals and help set the table or do the dishes. Eating together is a fantastic way to get to know people and sitting around a dinner table is a fun way to pick up new words and practise your conversation skills. If you know how to cook, feel free to prepare something from your home country and take the cultural exchange to the next level.
Participate in activities
Of course you should get involved in social activities with your new friends from school, but why not spend some quality time with your host family as well When you’re in a foreign country, going to the supermarket or watching your host sister’s soccer practice can be super exciting. Participating in everyday activities is a great bonding experience that lets you practise your language skills and helps you get to know a new culture.
【主题词句背诵】
1.check out查看,检查;退房;结账离开
2.be allergic to对……过敏
3.when it comes to… 当提到……;当谈到……
4.pick up (不费力地)获得,学会;拿起,拾起,捡起;加速;好转,改善
5.participate in 参加
6.get involved in参与……;卷入……
7.Generally speaking, they will have learned the most important facts about you from your paperwork, but some things cannot be stressed enough—especially when it comes to health issues.
一般来说,他们会从你的资料中了解到关于你的最重要的事实,但有些事情再怎么强调也不为过——特别是涉及健康问题时。
8.Participating in everyday activities is a great bonding experience that lets you practise your language skills and helps you get to know a new culture.
参加日常活动是一次很好的联络感情的经历,可以锻炼你的语言技能,帮助你了解一种新的文化。

With the rapid development, the city of Chongqing is becoming more and more attractive to outsiders, including foreigners. For 26-year-old Moldovan Gabriela Cojocaru, who has the Chinese nickname Li Xiaoxiao, Chongqing is the beginning of a dream.
In September 2014, Xiaoxiao, who has studied ethnic dance and ballet since childhood, graduated from the Moldovan National Dance Academy, and several classmates joined her on a trip to China. However, she did not know any Chinese or even English. She made many friends from China, which gradually solved her obstacles in language communication and made herself better adapted to life in China.
“I think as a foreigner, first you have to learn Chinese,” she said. “Then you can go to better understand the culture and the Chinese people.” But after learning what she thought was Chinese, she discovered that the language she had spent two years learning is actually the Chongqing dialect. Such is her delivery that even a Chongqing local would be hard to tell that she is a foreigner by just hearing her voice. As Xiaoxiao thought Chongqing dialect was standard Chinese, she took considerable efforts to be good at it. This “mistake” has turned out to be a lucky strike.
But she is more interested in doing something that helps the two countries understand each other. As such, she introduced Chinese food or Chongqing food, and stories about China to her friends in Moldova. She plans to introduce the history and specialties of Moldova, such as Moldo van wine, to the Chinese. She hopes to let more people know that this country actually has a rich history of more than 5,000 years of wine-making.
“I’d love to do it,” she said. “I will continue to strengthen the culture of the two countries and hope that the two countries will become better and better.”
( )1.Why does Xiaoxiao make Chinese friends
A.To study more about ethnic dance.
B.To appreciate more about new cultures.
C.To learn more local dialects.
D.To communicate with others more easily.
( )2.What does the underlined word “delivery” mean in Paragraph 3
A.Dialect. B.Ballet.
C.Dream. D.Mistake.
( )3.Which of the following best describes Xiaoxiao according to the text
A.Cautious and smart.
B.Humorous and creative.
C.Friendly and optimistic.
D.Hardworking and responsible.
( )4.Where can the text be found
A.In a biography.
B.In a culture magazine.
C.In a history book.
D.In a novel.

Modern communication technology is bringing the world closer every day to overcome cultural differences.Today,many of us plan to travel to a different country for study or business. 1. Here are a couple of tips on how to help bridge the gap between cultures.
Read up on the culture we’ll be encountering.
Every country in the world,old or new, has a rich and storied history.They celebrate their own holidays,cook national dishes,listen to their own styles of music and wear clothes appropriate for their culture. 2. Not only will it be personally enriching, but it will also give us a way to connect with the local people.
Learn the language.
3. Well,the fact that almost everyone can already speak English makes learning a foreign language all the more impressive. Even if we can only speak a few key phrases, it shows that we’re making the effort to bridge the cultural gap.
Be patient.
Unfortunately,no matter how much we research a country or how well we know the language, there will always be some culture shock and confusion. Words, actions or gestures that are not offensive to us can be very offensive to someone from another culture, and vice versa (反之亦然). 4.
Keep an open mind.
When I learn a new language, or study the history of a culture I’m unfamiliar with, I think of it as exploring a new world. There are so many things that make each culture unique. 5. Always try to think about how they see things from their cultural perspective(视觉);doing so will give us a better understanding of their corner of the world.
A.Why should we make the effort to bridge the gap
B.We have to be open to trying and learning new things.
C.Why spend more time learning a whole new language
D.When this happens,it is important to stay patient and be accepting.
E.Showing off our knowledge of the local customs will make us popular.
F.Take time to Google the history and customs of the country we’ll be visiting.
G.Thus, we must always be prepared to encounter and overcome cultural differences.
