【解题导语】本文作者通过描写自己对中国文化从气愤到欣赏的心路历程，说明了一个人对外国文化的接受过程。
1. B 根据文章大意可知，作者通过描写自己对中国文化从气愤到欣赏的心路历程，说明了一个人对外国文化的接受过程。所以，在文章的一开始自然是说自己开始在中国生活。
2．D 该段讲述的是作者初到中国时对中国文化所持有的态度。结合第一段中所提到的三个基本阶段anger，acceptance和appreciation可知，作者目前是处于第一个阶段，即anger阶段。
3．A 根据下文“I rejected the view of there being other ways of doing things”可知，作者拒绝接受处理事情的其他方式，因为在作者看来，其他方式都是错误的。
4．C 根据“Afterwards I came to”以及下一段中“I often accepted situations”可知，作者后来逐渐接受了一些中国文化。
5．B 由前后语意可知，尽管作者试着接受了一些不同文化的处事方式，但仍将自己文化中的方式视为高人一等的。前后在语意上为转折关系。
6．A 由语境可知，作者对于某些文化现象的接受仍凭个人的喜好。preference “偏爱，喜好”。
7．D 作者觉得人们解释一些文化现象时仅仅说一句“这是在中国”的行为很愚蠢。
8．C 作者认为人们在说“That's China.”时，言外之意是中国是一个落后的国家，所以会用一些错误的方式来处理事情。mean表示“意思是”。
9．B 结合前后文可以看出，从最初的气愤到接受，再到最后的欣赏，作者的态度发生了很大的变化。故前后文在语意上应为转折关系。
10．D 结合文章的中心思想可知，此处作者是讲述自己如何接受中国文化的，由此可确定答案为D项。
11．A 根据前后文可知，作者从最初的气愤到接受，再到后来的欣赏，甚至像当地人一样自如地运用中国人的处事方式。
12．C 该句中serve为及物动词，表示“上饭菜”，符合语境。
13．D 根据下文“Would anyone mind if I eat the eyeball？”可知，一开始作者看到中国的鱼是带头烹饪的，这让作者心里感到很难受，认为鱼在瞪着眼睛瞅自己。而后来接受了中国文化后，作者居然抢着吃鱼眼睛。
14．B 当时的作者认为，在鱼的眼睛里，自己是一个残忍的人。
15．C 作者从最初的讨厌看见鱼头被一起做成菜，到后来的可以接受别人吃这种菜而自己仍坚持吃别的菜肴，再到后来的喜欢上了吃鱼眼睛，这三个阶段刻画了自己对于中国文化从气愤到接受再到欣赏。此处为第二个阶段，即可以忍受看见别人吃，但自己仍吃别的菜肴。
16．D 空格前的take表示“花费”，根据语境可知，对于西方人来说，有的人需要花费更长的时间来接受一种新的文化。
17．A 根据语境可知，一个人对于一种新的文化的接受速度取决于其适应能力和对本国文化的固守程度。adaptable“可适应的”；considerable“相当多(大)的”；dependable“可依靠的”；enjoyable“愉快的，快乐的”。由此可确定选A项。
18．B 结合语境可知，对本国文化的固守程度会影响对新的文化的理解和接受。hold指“持有，掌握”。本题易错选D项，insist表示“坚持”时应搭配介词on。
19．C 作者在中国住了一年多以后才真正理解并欣赏这种文化。before表示“在……之前”。
20．C 随着对中国文化的接受和欣赏，作者内心也发生了很大的变化。现在作者在中国比在自己的国家感到更舒服。
Ⅱ.阅读理解(共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
Culture shock or thinking differences can depress even the most experienced traveller.Remember that unlucky accidents with service providers may take place because of cultural or linguistic misunderstandings，and that getting angry will make communication more difficult and cause bad feelings.A taste of humour can make hard situations more meaningful and enjoyable to you，your fellow travellers and the local friends you've made.
Keep a journal or carry a small tape recorder and make regular entries or recordings.Taking a step back and telling an experience after some time will open the door to humour.Write a letter or e-mail to a friend when you find your humour reducing.Challenge yourself to tell at least one good story in this message and you'll be surprised how funny things can look when told to someone outside the situation.
Keep a list of funny things that you observe during your first few days in a new culture，and an explanation of what you think these things are all about.Look back on these lists later in the trip；what seemed strange before is probably familiar now，and your explanations may be funnier than the things themselves！Imagine writing an entry in a guidebook about a frustrating experience.How would you describe your experience to the later travellers？What travel advice would you offer?
Try to see yourself through the eyes of locals.What might they find strange，funny about what you are doing at this moment？When you find it difficult to overcome cultural differences，taking a new look at yourself can be very funny.Be careful not to sacrifice(牺牲) respect for local culture in order to lighten things up for yourself and fellow travellers.
( )1.According to the text，the travellers will often get depressed because of ________.
A．being short of money
B．the different attitudes to the same thing
C．not having enough clothes
D．the unlucky fellow travellers' trouble
( )2.When you try to keep your sense of humour in foreign countries，you should ________.
A．tell anything that you find entertaining
B．learn to respect the local customs
C．know how to overcome cultural differences
D．try to tell anything particularly funny
( )3.We can infer that ________.
A．the funny things will be always interesting and never change
B．the funny things would always make people happy
C．if the people didn't experience the things，they would find them funny
D．the things seemed strange before they are surely becoming the familiar things
( )4.The text is intended for ________.
A．the performers who act in the music hall
B．the actors who often act in the theatre
C．the travellers who are experienced
D．the travellers who want to be humorous
【解题导语】幽默可以使由于文化差异而给旅行者造成的不良情形得以改观，本文给那些要旅游而且希望变得幽默的人提出了3条建议。
1．B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句“Culture shock or thinking differences can depress even the most experienced traveller.”可知，文化冲击和思维的差异会使旅行者不快乐。故选B。
2．B 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“Be careful not to sacrifice (牺牲) respect for local culture in order to lighten things up for yourself and fellow travellers.”可知，要尊重当地的传统文化。故选B。
3．C 推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后一句中“…you'll be surprised how funny things can look when told to someone outside the situation.”可知，没有经历过那些事情的人会发现它们很有趣。故选C。
4．D 推理判断题。文章就是为那些要旅游而且希望变得幽默的人写的。故选D。

Ⅱ.阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2分，满分16分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
I hated dinner parties.But I decided to give them another shot because I'm in London.And my friend Mallery invited me.And because dinner parties in London are very different from those back in New York.There，“‘I'm having a dinner party' means ‘I'm booking a table for 12 at a restaurant，which you can't afford and we'll be sharing the check evenly，no matter what you eat.’” Worse，in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives.They'll throw down(丢下) cash，half of what they owe，and then people like me，who don't drink，end up paying even more.But if I try to use the same trick，the hostess will shout：“Where are you going？” And it's not likely that I can say I have somewhere to go—everyone know I have nowhere to go.
But in London，dinner parties are in people's homes.What's more，the guests are an interesting mix.The last time I went to one，the guests were from France，India，Denmark and Nigeria，it was like a gathering at the United Nations in New York.The mix is less striking(突出的)．It's like a gathering at Bloomingdale's，a well-known department store.
For New Yorkers，talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York.But at Mallery's，when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently，people knew where it was.In New York people would think it was a usual new club.
( )1.What does the underlined word “shot” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．Choice. B．Try.
C．Style. D．Goal.
( )2.What does the author dislike most about dinner parties in New York?
A．There is a strange mix of people.
B．The restaurants are expensive.
C．The bill is not fairly shared.
D．People have to pay cash.
( )3.What does the author think of the parties in London?
A．A bit unusual.
B．Full of tricks.
C．Less costly.
D．More interesting.
( )4.What is the author's opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience?
A．Easy-going.
B．Self-centered.
C．Generous
D．Open-minded.
【解题导语】作者在纽约的时候最讨厌参加晚宴，但她仍然愿意尝试一下伦敦的晚宴，并对伦敦和纽约两个地方的晚宴进行了对比。
1．B 词义猜测题。从第一句的hated，到but意义上的转折，说明尽管不喜欢，还是要“尝试一下”，所以try的意思更接近shot。
2．C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Worse…They'll throw down cash，half of what they owe，and then people like me，who don't drink，end up paying even more”可知，在纽约吃饭要均摊餐费，但有些人总是提前离席，留下不足的份子钱，而其余人则不得不分摊更多。
3．D 推理判断题。根据第二段内容和其中的句子“What's more，the guests are an interesting mix”可以推断出，伦敦的晚宴要比纽约的有趣。
4．B 观点态度题。从最后一段的内容可以推断，作者对一些纽约人的看法是“以自我为中心的”。
B
After living in the United States for quite a long time，I do not think about the cultural differences any more.Last month，my parents came to visit me.Their observations(观察)on the American lifestyle reminded me that cultural differences between living in China and America are actually everywhere.
When my parents came to America，they praised my house.Everyone had his/her own bedroom：there was a front yard，a backyard and a garage; there were many bathrooms—all convenient and comfortable.However，they were not used to the glass doors at the first floor.My mom，from southern China，was worried that someone would break open the glass doors.Though I said that nobody would do that，she was still worried about it.
When I brought them to eat in fast food restaurants，whether it was in McDonald or KFC，they saw that refilling drinks was for free.This concept(观念) of free refill was so new to them.
A Chinese friend told me a story.He and his American girlfriend ate at a restaurant.His girlfriend wanted to drink English tea.He was curious，so he tried some and found that it didn't taste bad with milk and sugar in it.Adding more water to tea is free of course，so he drank more cups.His girlfriend found it embarrassing and explained to him that what he was doing was not exactly fair.If he wanted to drink more tea，he should buy another cup.My friend thought that Americans could take advantage of the free refills，but only a few of them did that.After staying in America for some time，he changed his habit.
( )5.We can infer that the writer ________.
A．doesn't like American culture
B．has got used to the life in America
C．received an American education as a child
D．thinks American and Chinese cultures are the same
( )6.What made the writer's parents worried?
A．That someone would break into the house.
B．That someone would be hurt by the glass doors.
C．That they wouldn't have a bedroom of their own.
D．That they wouldn't live comfortably in the house.
( )7.When eating at McDonald for the first time in America，the writer's parents were probably surprised that ________.
A．there were so many choices
B．the prices for food were so low
C．they could refill drinks for free
D．they could get extra food for free
( )8.The American girl mentioned in the last paragraph thought that ________.
A．Americans like taking advantage of other people
B．her boyfriend wouldn't like traditional English tea
C．drinking too much English tea harmed people's health
D．her boyfriend shouldn't take advantage of the free refills
【解题导语】文章介绍作者在美国生活一段时间后习惯了美国的生活方式，但是在他父母眼中中国和美国在很多地方还是有文化的差异的。
5．B 推理判断题。由第一段第一句“After living in the United States for quite a long time，I do not think about the cultural differences any more.”可知，作者已经习惯了美国的生活。
6．A 细节理解题。由第二段最后两句可知A项正确。
7．C 细节理解题。由第三段最后一句“This concept(观念) of free refill was so new to them.”可知C项正确。
8．D 细节理解题。由最后一段中“His girlfriend found it embarrassing and explained to him that what he was doing was not exactly fair.If he wanted to drink more tea，he should buy another cup.”可判断出选D项。

我和我的美国朋友詹尼斯正在餐桌前边吃甜点边聊天，突然发现人们在注视着我们。【句式分析】
本句为复合句。I was enjoying…at the table为主句，句中的谓语动词用过去进行时，表示过去某时正在进行或发生的动作，从句为I noticed people staring at us。两个句子由从属连词when连接。
当when用作从属连词，表示“就在这时，正在这时”时，常用于以下结构：(1)“was/were doing…when…”意为“正在做某事，就在这时……”，表示在过去某一动作正在进行或发生的时候突然出现另一动作，有时为了加强动作的突然性，也可在when后加suddenly。如：
We were having supper when suddenly all the lights went out.
我们正在吃晚饭，突然所有的灯都熄灭了。(2)“was/were about to do…when…”意为“正要/正准备做某事，就在这时……”。如：
He was about to say something when he saw her waving at him.
他正要说点什么，这时他见她在对他挥手。
(3)“be＋表示状态的介词短语when…”意为“正在做某事，就在这时……”。如：
The workers were at work in the factory that afternoon when a big fire broke out.
那天下午工人们正在工厂干活，就在这时一场大火爆发了。
【单项选择】
One Friday，we were packing to leave for a weekend away ________ my daughter heard cries for help.
A．after B．while
C．since D．when
【答案】D 周五，正当我们在准备行李去度周末时，突然我女儿听到了求救的声音。 “was/were doing…when…”意为“正在做某事，就在这时……”，表示在过去某一动作正在进行或发生的时候突然出现另一动作。3．(课文重现)I had a similar experience the last time I visited China.
上次访问中国时我的经历和你的差不多。
【句式分析】
(1) 本句为复合句。the last time I visited China为the last time引导的时间状语从句。
时间状语从句常常由下列词或短语引导：before, after, as soon as, until, once, since, when。如：It will be some time before we know the full result of the computer test.
还要过一段时间我们才能知道计算机考试的全部结果。
(2) 一些表时间的短语可以引导时间状语从句，如：the day/year/week, the last time, each/every time, the minute/moment, next time, the first/second/last time等。如：He is going to visit his aunt the day he arrives in New York.
他到纽约的当天就打算去拜访他的姨妈。
(3) 某些副词可以引导时间状语从句，如：directly, immediately, instantly等。
Directly I walked into the room I smelt the strong smoke.
我一进屋就闻到了一股浓烈的烟味。 (4) hardly…when…，no sooner…than…等可以引导时间状语从句。在使用时要注意：如果hardly, no sooner等位于句首，主句需要用倒装结构。
Hardly had he finished writing the article when the light went out.
他刚一写完那篇文章灯就灭了。【单项选择】
________ I see her, she is always smiling.
A．The first time B．Every time
C．The last time D．Next time
【答案】B 句意：我每次见到她，她总是微笑。 从句子的时态可以判断出，应该用一般现在时，所以选every time。4．(课文重现)This will not happen in many other cultures，I guess.
我想这样的事在许多其他文化中是不会发生的。【句式分析】
该句中，I guess为插入语。类似的插入语还有：I think，I know，I believe，I hope，I suppose，I'm afraid，I wonder，you know，you see，I tell you，等等。这些结构可以放在句末，也可以放在句子中间。有时在问句中也可以有这种插入语。
That will be a good beginning，I hope.
我希望这是一个良好的开端。
We'll have to book our tickets in advance，I'm afraid.
我们恐怕得提前订票。

【答案与解析】
1．A 考查非谓语动词。由listen可知，此处用hear sb doing sth“听到某人正在做某事”，calling在句中是现在分词作宾补。
2．D 考查不定式。不定式的被动式作后置定语表示被动关系及将要发生的动作。
3．B Doing well in an interview为v.?ing短语在句中作主语。
4．C 考查非谓语动词。struggle与Dina为主动关系，可排除B项；由句子结构可知，此处应用现在分词作非限制性定语，补充说明Dina的情况。因为struggle这一动作发生在谓语动词took之前，故用现在分词的完成式。
5．A 考查非谓语动词。look与句子的主语I是主谓关系，故用现在分词作状语。不定式位于句首常作目的状语。
6．D 考查非谓语动词的用法。这里是不定式作定语，修饰前面的名词questions。
7．D 考查非谓语动词。后半句是对“美好童年”的补充说明，故用现在分词作伴随状语。traveling是一个与句子谓语同时发生的主动动作。
8．C doing nothing表示的动作是伴随sit同时发生的，因此选C。
9．C 你无法想象这位女士抚养孩子有多么艰难。考查have difficulty (in) doing sth做某事有困难，故选C。
10．B 甚至在大冷天他也宁愿外出踢足球而不愿待在家里。考查prefer doing sth to doing sth“宁愿做……而不愿做……”
11．A 在山顶有一座追溯到17世纪的古庙。v.?ing短语在句中作表语置于句首，句子用倒装语序，其正常语序为：An ancient temple dating back to the 17th century is standing on the top of the hill.
12．C 进屋时，我发现我的小猫躺在地板上快死了。此处用v.?ing短语作时间状语，相当于状语从句“When I entered the room”。

3．下列动词可用动名词，也可用不定式作宾语，意义区别不大：

v－ing形式包括了传统语法中所说的动名词和现在分词，因此具有名词、形容词或副词的特点，在句中可用作主语、宾语、表语、定语、宾补和状语等。
在第11单元中我们已讲了动名词。在此我们以现在分词为主，现在分词最常见的是作表语、状语、定语和宾语补足语。1．现在分词作宾语补足语
(1)现在分词可以在see，hear，notice，watch，feel，smell，look at，listen to，observe，find等表示感官和心理状态的动词后面作宾语补足语，和宾语一起构成复合宾语。

表示主语的某种性质或状态。
What you said is really inspiring.
你所说的真令人鼓舞。
The speech you delivered is very interesting and encouraging.
你的演讲很有趣且很鼓舞人。3．现在分词作定语
现在分词作定语一般有两种含义，有的可置于名词前，有的需要置于名词后。
(1)表示被修饰词的某种用途，此时现在分词形式常置于被修饰词的前面。
Yesterday I bought a washing machine and some sleeping pills.
昨天我买了一台洗衣机和一些安眠药。(此句中的washing，sleeping称动名词)(2)表示所修饰的人或物的动作或状态，在意思上接近一个定语从句，可以表示正在进行的动作，也可表示经常性的动作或当时的状态。
A．形容词性的现在分词作定语，此时一般置于被修饰词的前面。
He is a promising young man.
他是一个有前途的年轻人。
Have you got some interesting story books for children?
你有一些儿童读的有趣的故事书吗？B．表示进行意义的现在分词作定语，此时一般置于被修饰词的前面。
Make less noise.There's a sleeping child.
少弄出点噪音，有个孩子在睡觉。
China is a fast developing country.
中国是一个快速发展的国家。C．现在分词短语作定语，此时必须置于被修饰词之后，其用法相当于一个定语从句。
Those wishing to join the club should sign here.
(＝Those who wish to join the club should sign here.)
想加入本俱乐部的人在这里签名。
The man standing under the tree almost lost his memory.(＝The man who was standing under the tree almost lost his memory.)
站在树下面的那个人几乎失去了记忆。4．现在分词作状语
现在分词可以作状语，修饰谓语动词，在句中表示时间、原因、结果、行为方式、伴随、条件、让步、程度情况等。
(1)时间状语
现在分词作时间状语时，通常置于句首，也可置于句末。
Arriving in Paris，I lost my way.
到达巴黎后，我迷了路。Hearing the exciting news，the boy jumped with joy.
听到令人激动的消息，那男孩高兴地跳了起来。(2)原因状语
表示原因的现在分词一般置于句首。
Having smoked too much，he has suffered from lung cancer.
由于抽烟太多，他患了肺癌。
Not knowing her address，I might as well telephone her to let her come over.
不知道她的地址，我只好打电话让她过来。(3)结果状语
通常用现在分词的一般式表示结果，常常位于句尾。
The fire lasted nearly a month，leaving nothing valuable.
大火持续了近一个月，几乎没剩下什么有用的东西。
Football is played in more than 80 countries，making it a popular sport.
80多个国家都开展足球运动，使足球成了一种很流行的运动。(4)方式、伴随状语

我站在门旁，不敢说一句话。

【答案及解析】
【解题导语】本文为夹叙夹议文。作者通过讲述在饭店里为一对恩爱老夫妇付饭钱的经历告诉人们，爱的奉献对于接受的人和给予的人都大有裨益。
1．C 由首句“This morning I was at my favorite table at a local restaurant when an elderly couple walked in”可知，此处指的是进来的是两位白发老人。gray hair “白发”。
2．A 由下文的“It touched my heart”可推知，此处指的应该是这对老夫妇很恩爱，排队时手牵着手。
3．B 作者看了他们一会儿，思考着自己的未来(future)。此处暗示作者也会有变老的一天，不知道到时候自己是否也会像这对老夫妇一样。
4．D 由下文的“Just tell them someone with a name that is not made public”可知，作者想秘密地(secretly)为这对老夫妇付饭钱。
5．D 下文的“lifted his spirits”暗示，此处指作者之前情绪低落。in a low mood是固定用法，表示“心情不佳，情绪低落”。
6．C 由上文提到的作者因看到老夫妇手牵手去吃饭而感动的内容可知，此处指看到他们如此的彼此依恋让作者的心情好了起来。be attached to 意为“爱恋，依恋，喜欢”。
7．B 作者不想让这对老夫妇知道自己做的事，所以此处指当经理告诉他们这个消息时，作者假装(pretended)自己在忙着写作。
8．A out of the corner of one's eye 是固定用法，意为“偶然/不经意看到/瞥见某物；用眼角余光看”。
9. D 老夫妇四处观望，想弄明白替他们付饭钱的神秘人是众多顾客中的哪一位。figure out “弄明白，搞清楚”，符合语境。bring out“拿出，使表现出”；watch out“注意，小心”；turn out“证明是”。
10．D 参见上题解析。此处用mysterious“神秘的”，与上文的“someone with a name that is not made public”相呼应。
11．C 根据上文中的“lifted his spirits”可知，此处讲的应是老夫妇给作者带来了快乐(joy)。
12．B 结合上下文可知，此处指给予不仅让接受者受益，而且对给予者也有益。benefit “使受益”。
13．D 给予是一种活动，它能让我们意识到我们都是相互联系(connected)的。下文的“That association”也是暗示。
14．C 这种联系发挥着很大作用，能使世界成为美好的(wonderful)居住地，不论你是在世界的哪一端。
15．C 参见上题解析。此处whichever “无论哪一个”，引导让步状语从句，且在从句中作定语，强调有范围的选择。
16．A 作者知道当自己为别人做甚至很小的事情时，自己也总是会感到幸福。因此作者积极主动地寻找机会付出。even“甚至”，表示强调，符合语境。
17．B 参见上题解析。actively意为 “积极地，主动地”，符合语境。cautiously意为“谨慎地”；voluntarily意为“志愿地”；attentively意为“专心致志地”。
18．A 根据上下文语境可知，此处指不管你给予别人的东西值多少钱。economic value的意思是“经济价值”。
19．B 结合上文作者帮老夫妇付饭钱及本文的主题可知，此处指作者建议人们主动去做善事，并注意一下自己的感受。an act of kindness意为“善事”。
20．C 给予的最好的办法是帮助别人但不企求回报。expectation“期盼，期待”。

Ⅲ.概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
The influence of America is increasing in Spain. Spanish people drink Coca-Cola， wear blue jeans， watch Hollywood movies， listen to American music， and eat fast food， and they do all these things daily.
I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because often people are influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the entertainment programs and documentaries we watch on TV are from America， and most of the movies we go to are made in Hollywood.
In the last few years， the government has tried to protect the Spanish movie. Now， in our cinemas， at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from a country of the European Union.
American culture is very much a part of Spanish life. It's certain that many things from America are as much a part of their lives as Spanish things. For example， Coca-Cola， is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. I've known Coca-Cola，my whole life.
However， it's different with Western fast food. For example， I don't think McDonald's is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion， one of the reasons may be the lifestyle of the Spanish people. The Spanish people normally eat at home.
It may be that McDonald's hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas(西班牙餐馆的餐前小吃) because in every city in Spanish you can find a McDonald's， and they are more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults. In any case， it's obvious that American culture is more and more a part of our everyday life.
【答案】
One possible version：
Spain is being influenced by America， which can be seen from what people do daily(要点1). As people are often influenced by American movies， the government has tried to take measures(要点2). Take Coca－Cola for example， it is popular among Spanish people(要点3). As for McDonald's， though not popular with adults now， it may soon be part of our everyday life(要点4).

在墨尔本我们唯一能看到袋鼠的地方是餐馆的菜单上。【句式分析】
we ever see kangaroos为定语从句，修饰the only place，省略了关系副词where，where偶尔可以省略，尤其在the place之后。
This is the place we met yesterday.
这就是我们昨天相见的地方。
注意：when作关系副词有时也可以省略，尤其是在time，the day之后。
That was the first time I had quarrelled with my wife.
那是我第一次和我太太吵架。
Come any time you like.
你随便什么时候来都行。【单项选择】
________ that they lost the game，tears came down Kate's face.
A．On hearing the news
B．When heard the news
C．The moment she heard the news
D．While hearing the news
【答案】C 当Kate一听到他们比赛输了的消息时，眼泪马上流了出来。the moment＋从句，表示“一……就……”；该句主从句的主语不一致，故从句不能用省略形式。2．(课文重现)I can't bear the way the native Australians have been treated.
我不能忍受对待土著澳大利亚人的方式。
【句式分析】
the native Australians have been treated是定语从句，修饰the way。the way充当先行词时，若定语从句中缺少方式状语，那么后面的定语从句通常有三种情况：(1)省去引导词
(2)用in which来引导
(3)用that引导
People liked the way he wrote，so he kept on writing.
人们喜欢他的写作风格，于是他就继续写下去。
This is the way that I look at it.
这就是我看这事的方式。【单项选择】
The way ________ he walks is funny.
A．that B．which
C．for which D．of which
【答案】A 他走路的方式有些滑稽。the way充当先行词时，若定语从句中缺少方式状语，那么后面的定语从句通常有三种情况：①省去引导词；②用in which来引导；③用that引导。3．(课文重现)That's why surfing is such a popular sport.
那就是为什么冲浪成为如此普及的一种运动。
【句式分析】
That's why…意为“那是……的原因”，why引导的是表语从句，前一句子说明原因；why引导的表语从句是由这个原因造成的后果或结果。I got up late.That's why I was late.
我起来晚了，那是我迟到的原因。
You don't work hard.That's why you didn't pass the exam.
你不努力学习，那是你不及格的原因。
That's why he came.
那就是他为什么来的原因。表示“……的原因是……”还可以有：The reason why…is/was that…(why引导的是定语从句，that引导的是表语从句)；That is/was because…(because引导的是表语从句，表示一种原因)；The reason for…is/was that…等来表示。【归纳拓展】The reason why he was absent was that he was ill.
他没来的原因是他生病了。
The reason why he didn't come was that his mother was ill.
他没来的原因是他妈妈病了。The reason why you didn't pass the exam was that you didn't study hard.

【解题导语】本文讲述了作者初到美国时追求标准的英语口语，但是后来意识到了母语口音的特殊意义，所以作者改变初衷，在讲英语时加入了一些母语口音，以此表明自己的文化渊源。
1．D 此处考查upon的用法。upon或on后可接名词或动词-ing形式，表示“一……就……”，其意义相当于连词as soon as。“upon arriving”即“as soon as sb.arrives”。
2．B 从本段后文accent(口音)一词的使用以及下文的描述可以看出，作者是在讨论英语发音的问题。
3．A 从后文“…is not enough.You need an accent to stand out.”来看，作者认为，要成为“the melting pot”(熔炉)的一部分，光凭一口流利的英语还不够，你还需要借助口音(accent)使自己脱颖而出。fluency“流利，流畅”；sense“感觉”；quality“质量，品质”；interest“兴趣”。
4．A 从作者后文的描述“I felt so out of place…”，并结合最后一段中的“I am no longer a nervous foreigner”来看，作者初次到美国时的感觉应是“紧张”。
5．B 从作者设定的目标“To talk like an American”来看，作者试图掩饰自己与别人不一样的地方。that was “different”作为修饰everything的定语从句，表示“与别人不同的一切”。
6．A 从后文“they could not understand me”以及下文的complaint一词可推断出，作者在当助教(TA)时学生因听不懂他说的话而抱怨。complain“抱怨”。whisper“低语”；inform“告知”。
7．C 从后文学生的抱怨“Not another international TA”来看，这种抱怨在由外籍助教教授的美国学生中是很普遍的。interesting“有趣的”；rare“罕见的”；common“普遍的”；special“特殊的”。
8．A 从前文可以推断出，外籍助教由于受母语口音的影响，在上课时会被美国学生抱怨。他们不愿再听到这样的口音。通过对下文的理解可确定选项。
9．B 为了迎合学生的需要，作者模仿当地人说话的方式。native“本地的，当地的”，native speakers在这里指土生土长的美国人。
10．B 根据句中的that可排除C、D两项。such…that…和so…that…均可表示“如此……以至于……”，但用法不同。当被修饰的词是不可数名词时，只能用“such＋adj.＋不可数名词＋that…”结构。progress是不可数名词，可排除A。
11．A 结合语境“我讲的英语‘几乎没有了口音’”，以及下一段中的praise一词可确定选项。encourage“鼓励”；criticise“批评”。
12．B mistake…for…“把……错认为是……”。因为作者的英语口语中几乎没有了母语的口音，所以人们很难判断出他来自哪里，往往将其误认为是来自其他一些地方的人。
13．D 后文所列举的不仅仅是一些国家的名字，还包括一些地区，所以应选择D。
14．B 作者忽然意识到，口音上与美国人的这种一致性对他来说不再是一种赞美。通过对下文的理解可以看出，作者认为在母语口音消失的同时，他也失去了自己的文化特性(cultural identity)。more than “多于”；no longer“不再”；nothing but“只有，仅仅”；not as important as“不如……重要”。通过理解句意可确定选项。
15．C 句意：我是不是通过被同化(absorb)到一种新文化中来否定自己的过去？通过理解句意可排除其他选项。relate“与……相关”；join“连接，接合”；connect“连接”。
16．D 现在作者意识到了母语口音的特殊意义。doubt“怀疑”；regret“后悔”；notice“注意到”；realize“意识到”。根据语境可确定选项。
17．A 作者认为，母语口音是一个人接触多种文化的标志。mark“标志，记号”。
18．C 结合前后文理解，作者初到美国时因母语口音造成的紧张感已经消失，取而代之的是坚持自己文化渊源的渴望和决心。be replaced by“被……取代”。
19．A 从后文来看，作者在说英语时有意识地加入一些汉语“口音”，以此来体现自己的文化渊源。origin“源头，起源”；belief“相信，信仰”；knowledge“知识”；understanding“理解”。
20．C 作者初到美国时追求的是标准的英语口语，而后来意识到母语口音的特殊意义，于是作者改变初衷，在讲英语时有意识地加入一些母语口音，以此表明自己的文化渊源。perfect“准确的，地道的”。结合对前文的理解可排除其他选项。
Ⅱ.阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2分，满分16分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Many years ago，I had my first chance to visit Russia.“Russians are a very polite people，”I had been told before my arrival.One of my friends explained that a gentleman will pour the lemonade for the ladies and show other good manners.
Toward the end of my three-week trip，I was invited by my Russian friend Nicolai Vasilevich and his wife Yulya out to dinner.At the end of a wonderful meal，Yulya asked if I would like a banana.I politely declined(婉拒)and thanked her，and explained I was most satisfied with the meal.But my mind was racing：“What should I do？Should I offer her a banana though they are as close to her as they are to me？What is the polite thing to do？”
“Would you like a banana？”I asked Yulya.
“Yes，”she smiled，but didn't try to take any of the three bananas in the fruit basket.
“Which one would you like？” I asked again.
“That one，”she pointed at one of the bananas.So thinking about Russian politeness，I picked the banana Yulya had pointed at.Then I peeled it half way and handed it to her.Smiles on Yulya's and Nicolai's faces told me I had done the right thing.After this experience，I spent much time letting the world know that in Russia，the polite thing was to peel bananas for ladies.
However，sometime during my third trip I learned I was wrong.
“Oh no，David，”a Russian politely corrected me.“In Russia，when a man peels a banana for a lady，it means he has a romantic interest in her.”How embarrassed I felt.
So to communicate properly with people of different cultures，we should watch carefully how people of the same culture communicate with each other.Besides，don't be afraid to ask questions about their culture.
( )1.Before his first visit to Russia，the writer learned Russian gentlemen are polite to ________.
A．foreigners B．strangers
C．friends D．women
( )2.The underlined word “peeled” in Paragraph 6 means ________.
A．took the skin off something
B．put something back
C．made something clean
D．cut something in two
( )3.Which of the following seems to be TRUE according to the passage?
A．The writer's third trip lasted about three weeks.
B．Russian gentlemen never peel bananas for ladies.
C．The writer tried to follow Russians behavior in Russia.
D．Yulya was pleased with the writer's behavior but Nicolai wasn't.
( )4.The writer wrote the passage mainly to ________.
A．show us how polite Russian people are
B．tell us his funny experience in Russia
C．ask us to care about cultural differences
D．remind us what we should do in Russia
【解题导语】入乡随俗，了解一个国家的文化，得从观察当地人的做法开始，不懂的就问，否则你就会犯和本文作者一样的尴尬错误。
1．D 细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“One of my friends explained that a gentleman will pour the lemonade for the ladies and show other good manners.”以及后文作者的做法可知答案为D。
2．A 词义猜测题。根据“Then I peeled it half way and handed it to her.”中的“half way”可以推知作者在递给Yulya香蕉之前先为她剥开了一半。
3．C 推理判断题。根据最后一段“So to communicate properly with people of different cultures，we should watch carefully how people of the same culture communicate with each other.”可知答案为C。
4．C 目的意图题。根据文章可知，作者通过自己的一次尴尬经历提醒读者：在与来自不同文化背景的人相处时，我们要注意文化差异。
B
You may have heard of the American Dream, an ideal that has powered the hopes of Americans for generations.
It began as a belief that the US was a land of opportunity, and that anyone could achieve success through hard work.At times, the dream has referred to home ownership, a good job, retirement security or each generation doing better than the last.
Yet today, this concept seems to have greatly changed.As Time magazine pointed out, quite different from the older generation, many Millennials(the generation born after 1980) redefine(重新定义) the American Dream as “day-to-day control of your life”．They “prize job mobility, flexible schedules, any work that is more interesting than typing, and the ability to travel”， said the magazine.
Home ownership, once the cornerstone of the American Dream, is becoming a smaller priority for this generation.Meanwhile, nearly 40% of them choose travel as part of their dream.And entrepreneurship(创业) is a rising favorite, as nearly 26% of Millennials consider self-employment as part of their dream.
So what has led to this huge change?
Many point fingers at the poor economy.“Modern young Americans seem bound to face a world stamped by ever narrowing opportunity and social stagnation(停滞)，”noted The Daily Beast.
“The rate of 16-to 24-year-olds out of school and out of work is unusually high at 15%.Many college graduates have taken jobs that don't require a degree，” Time reported.
The magazine worries that these difficulties may lead to a lost generation who are “unable to ever truly find their feet on the corporation's ladder”．
Dan Kadlec, a reporter of Time, sees Millennials as resetting their expectations.“This situation is different for young adults today，” he wrote.“A true American dream has to feel attainable, and many Millennias are feeling they can only attain a day－today lifestyle that suits them.”
( )5.Which's the best topic for the passage?
A．Meaning of American Dream
B．Redefinition of American Dream
C．Value of Achieving American Dream
D．History of Changing American Dream
( )6.The underlined word “cornerstone” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “________”．
A．growth B．balance
C．purpose D．basis
( )7.According to the passage, what has changed Millennials' view of the American Dream?
A．A lack of confidence in themselves.
B．Fierce competition in the job market.
C．The discouraging economy and unemployment.
D．Their dissatisfaction with the government.
( )8.Dan Kadlec thinks Millennials' new definition of the American Dream is ________.
A．understandable B．beautiful
C．worrying D．positive
【解题导语】美国梦旧时指的是成功、机遇等，但如今美国梦的概念已经发生了巨大的变化。
5．B 标题猜测题。根据第三段“Yet today, this concept seems to have greatly changed.As Time magazine pointed out, quite different from the older generation, many Millennials (the generation born after 1980) redefine(重新定义) the American Dream as‘day-to-day control of your life’”可知，本文主要讲的是对美国梦的新定义，故选B。
6．D 词义猜测题。根据“Home ownership, once the cornerstone of the American Dream, is becoming a smaller priority for this generation”可知，对家庭的主导权曾是美国梦的基石，即basis，故选D。
7．C 细节理解题。根据第六段可知，主要是因为经济发展停滞，工作机会越来越少才导致他们对美国梦的观点发生了改变，故选C。
8．A 细节理解题。根据“‘This situation is different for young adults today，’he wrote.‘A true American dream has to feel attainable, and many Millennias are feeling they can only attain a day－today lifestyle that suits them’”可知，他认为由于困难的经济现状，美国年轻人对美国梦的重新定义是可以被理解的(understandable)，故选A。

1．A 推理判断题。根据Attendance部分中的“Moreover, if students attend less than 80%…Jackson Language School”可知，如果学生上课的时间少于总量的80%，就无法获得结业证书。由此可推断，如果学生上课的时间超过总量的80%，就可能会获得结业证书，故A项正确。

B
Meeting people from another culture can be difficult.From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal(信号)．Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize(强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree.For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust.Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”， usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job.In many European countries — like the UK or France — people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures.I once made a speech in Thailand.I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence.The people present just stared at me and smiled.After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much.In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems.Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly.We think that they are rude.In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other.However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment(多元文化环境) will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.
( )4.In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to________.
A．develop closer relations
B．share the same culture
C．get to know each other
D．keep each other company
( )5.The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that________.
A．the English prefer to make long speeches
B．too many words are of no use
C．people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature
D．even talk and silence can be culturally different
( )6.According to the text，how can people from different cultures understand each other better?
A．By sharing different ways of life.
B．By accepting different habits.
C．By recognizing different values.
D．By speaking each other's languages.
( )7.What would be the best title for the text?
A．Multicultural Environment
B．Cross-Cultural Differences
C．How to Understand Each Other
D．How to Build up a Relationship
【解题导语】本文主要介绍了不同文化之间的差异，并说明了要加强理解和认识。
4．A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“…people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.”可知，在餐馆吃饭或在咖啡厅喝咖啡比在办公室更容易建立永久的工作关系。
5．D 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures.”可知，谈话和沉默也有文化上的差异。
6．C 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句可知，多元文化环境使双方互相理解。
7．B 标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了不同文化之间的差异，并说明了要加强理解和认识。Cross-Cultural Differences作标题比较合适。
C
Considering Australia's size and the fact that early settlements were far apart，Australian society is remarkably homogeneous(同种类的)．Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous and the way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same however many miles divide them.It_takes_a_sharp_ear_to_identify_regional_accents.
However, there is some difference in lifestyle between city dwellers and the country people. Almost 90 percent of the population lives in the fast-paced cities along the coast and has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert.The major cities preserve pockets of colonial heritage, but the overall impression is modern, with new buildings reflecting the country's youth.In contrast, the rural communities tend to be slow-moving and conservative.For many years, Australia was said to have “ridden on the sheep's back”， a reference to wool being the country's main money earner.However, the wool industry is no longer dominant.Much of Australia's relatively sound economy is now achieved from natural coal and wheat, and by being the largest diamond producer in the world.Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important.Australians are generally friendly and relaxed, with a self-deprecating sense of humour.On the whole, Australia is a society without hierarchies(等级制度), an attitude generally held to stem from its prisoner beginnings.
Yet, contrary to widespread belief, very few Australians have true prisoner origins.Within only one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Australia had become a nation of immigrants.Originally coming almost entirely from the British Isles, today one in three Australians comes from elsewhere.Australia's liberal postwar immigration policies led to an influx of survivors from war-torn Europe, most notably Greeks, Italians, Poles and Germans.
The emphasis has shifted in recent years and today the majority of new immigrants are from Southeast Asia.Today Australia is a “blend of nations” and although some racism exists, it has generally been a successful experiment and the country is justifiably proud to have one of the most harmonious multicultural communities in the world.
( )8.What does the writer mean by saying “It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents.” in the first paragraph?
A．Australians speak standard English with no local accents whatsoever.
B．You have to practice a lot to learn to understand the different accents.
C．The Australian regional accents are very difficult to understand indeed.
D．There is not much difference between the accents in different areas of Australia.
( )9.The underlined pronoun “it” in the final paragraph refers to “________”．
A．community B．racism
C．blend of nations D．Southeast Asia
( )10.We can infer from the passage that________.
A．there are no signs of Australia's colonial past in its modern cities
B．Australia's recent immigration policy encourages immigrants from Southeast Asia
C．immigrants from Southeast Asia have brought racial problems
D．“riding on sheep's back” resulted in slow development in rural communities
【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述澳大利亚社会的同质性。
8．D 句意理解题。从文章第一段前两句可以看出，在澳大利亚，不管是城市还是乡镇，人们之间并没有很大的差异，如果要辨认地方口音的话，需要人们有很好的耳朵才行，所以选D。
9．C 词义猜测题。从最后一段中的“Today Australia is a ‘blend of nations' and although some racism exists …”可以看出，这里的“it”表示的是多国家的融合，所以选C。
10．B 推理判断题。从文章最后一段可以看出，现在有越来越多的东南亚人移民去澳大利亚，可推知选B。

【解题导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了西方人对待年龄的态度。
16．B 由文章首句“In China，it is quite usual to ask people about their age.”和转折词However可知，在西方询问年龄往往被认为是“没有礼貌的(impolite)”。
17．D 由该空后的“even more so if the inquirer is a man”可知，对“女性(women)”来说更是如此。
18．C
19．A 由文中的“it is not a secret for them”可知，询问孩子们的年龄很“正常(normal)”，他们根本不会“介意(mind)”。
20．A 由该空后的“if they feel they look young for their age”及“elderly people”可知，这里是说“老(old)”年人。
21．D “尤其是(especially)”他们觉得自己看起来比实际年龄要年轻的时候。
22．B 由该空后的“ask a direct question like‘How old are you？’”可知，直接问对方多大年龄并不“明智(wise)”。
23．C
24．A
25．D 由该句中的“elderly people want to talk about their age”和“they may easily bring up the topic”可知，这里是假设关系，“如果(If)”老年人想谈论年龄或是有人“称赞(praise)”他们看起来很年轻，他们也许会“主动(by themselves)”提起这个话题。
26．A 他们还会让别人“猜测(guess)”自己的年龄。
27．C
28．B 由文中的“it is quite acceptable to discuss age”可知，在上文提到的这种“情形(situation)”下，“自由地(freely)”谈论年龄问题是可以接受的。
29．A 由该空前的“They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness…”可知，他们通常宁愿别人说些恭维话也不愿意被“告知(told)”自己看起来就是老。
30．D 由第一段中的China和the West可知，本文是谈论中西方人对待年龄的不同态度，故填westerners。
31．B 尽管西方人通常不会直接去问他人的年龄，这并不“意味着(mean)”他们对此不感兴趣。
32．C 这里是说关于他人年龄的“信息(information)”。
33．D 由该空后的“sometimes discussions about educational background…may provide some clues(线索)”可知，他们会“间接地(indirectly)”提出这个话题。
34．B 一个人工作“经验(experience)”的年数可以提供一些线索。
35．C 由该空后的“they ask little about age”可知，并非每个人都“关心(cares about)”他人的年龄。

【答案与解析】
36．greatly 考查副词。设空处作状语修饰exciting，故填greatly。
37．will arrive/am arriving/am going to arrive 考查一般将来时。由“In five hours or so”可知，arrive表示将来的动作，应用一般将来时或现在进行时(表将来)，故填will arrive/am arriving/am going to arrive。
38．that/which 考查关系代词。设空处引导限制性定语从句修饰things，且在从句中作love的宾语，故填that/which。
39．helpful 考查形容词作表语的用法。设空处作表语，故填helpful(有帮助的)。
40．called 考查过去分词作定语的用法。town后跟后置定语，因call与town之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故填called。
41．streets 考查名词复数。
42．of 考查固定结构。be fond of意为“喜爱，喜欢”。
43．learning 考查动词-ing形式作宾语的用法。设空处作介词By的宾语，故填learning。
44．or 考查连词。whether…or…意为“无论……还是……”。
45．me 考查代词。设空处作介词like的宾语，故填me。

第二节 概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Many people are fond of listening to music. Whether it's light music or jazz music， it can improve our moods. Music has been with us since very early times in human history. Have you ever wondered how music might affect our health？
Research shows that having musical training and listening to or playing music at an old age can help keep the brain healthy. Since listening to music is like exercising the brain， one can expect the benefits of a better memory and mental sharpness as he or she ages.
Music can make you feel happy， excited or even cheer you up. Listening to music that touches you in a special way causes your brain to release dopamine， which is known as a “feel－good” chemical. It causes us to feel happy and excited. Listening to music provides us with the same burst of happiness that we would get from eating a piece of chocolate.
Music can strengthen the heart and shorten the recovery time of patients who are suffering from heart disease. A study found that heart disease patients who listened to music for 30 minutes had lower blood pressure， lower heart rates and less sadness than those who didn't. researchers from Drexel University found that cancer patients who either listened to music or worked with a music therapist had better blood pressure levels and improved moods.
Music can reduce levels of the stress hormone which weakens the immune system， increases the risk of heart disease， affects learning and memory and lowers bone density(骨密度)， etc. Research found that by listening to just 50 minutes of uplifting music， the levels of antibodies in the human body increased.
Recently research has found that listening to music promotes better sleep patterns for people and even creates more restful sleep. In some cases， music might even be able to be used to effectively treat sleeplessness. Music can have positive effects on the soul and the quality of life as well.
【答案】
One possible version：
Music has been part of our lives since ancient times and it benefits our health(要点1). Music can keep the aging brain healthy and make us happy or cheer us up(要点2). As for its medical benefits， music is good for patients with heart disease， high blood pressure or cancers， and can strengthen our immune system(要点3). Besides， music can help us sleep well and positively affect our souls and life quality(要点4).
课件10张PPT。American social customs
文前导读：因为美国人的先辈来自世界各地，所以在美国境内许多社会风俗是兼容并蓄的。如果你第一次去美国，你不必为不懂那里的风俗而难为情。Because Americans trace(追踪) their origins from so many different countries, there is a far wider range of “acceptable” social customs in America than in some other countries. As a result, no one visiting the United States for the first time should feel uncomfortable or incorrect if he or she follows his or her own native habits. Although Americans are very informal, if you prefer to be more formal in social situations, you may freely act in your own way. This will be acceptable to those around you.However, it may be helpful to have a more detailed understanding of the customs which are usually followed in America. Certainly, this subject is too large to discuss in great detail here, but the following are a few common situations you may experience while you are visiting the USA．What is a personal question in one country may not be in another. For example, Americans may ask, “Where do you work？” “How many children do you have？” “How large is your house？” “Have you had a vacation yet？” Such questions are not considered by Americans to be too personal. They often ask such questions to learn what they may have in common with you or to begin a conversation. Please understand that such questions mean to be friendly; the questioner doesn't mean to be impolite.To those visitors who come from countries where social relationships develop more slowly during a longer period of time, the American way may seem very frightening, too personal, and rude. However, even in the U．S. there are certain subjects that are avoided, or it will be considered too personal and therefore too impolite. These subjects include a person's age, how much money he or she has, how much his or her clothes and other expensive things are, his or her religion, and his or her personal life.[佳句仿写]
1．Although Americans are very informal, if you prefer to be more formal in social situations, you may freely act in your own way.
