R eading comprehension. （共50分）A. Choose the best answer: ( 12分)We may know that there are four basic stages (阶段) that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new culture. This process, which helps us to deal with culture shock(文化冲击), is the way our brain and our personality react to(对……做出反应) the strange new things we meet with when we move from one culture to another.Culture begins with the “honeymoon (蜜月) stage”. This is the time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture is strange and exciting. We see new things, hear new sounds and language, eat new kinds of food. This stage can last for quite a long time because we feel we are very excited.Unluckily, the second stage can be more difficult. After we have got used to our new life, we can become very tired and begin to miss our homeland and our family, friends, pets. All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture. This period of cultural adjustment(调整) can be very difficult and lead to pulling away from (离开) the new culture.The third stage is called the “adjustment stage”. This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor (生还者)!The fourth stage can be cal led “at ease at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new place. You can deal with most problems that you have. You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them.There is a fifth stage of culture s hock which many people don’t know about. This is called “reverse culture shock” (逆向文化冲击). Surprisingly, this happens when you go back to your own culture and find that you have changed and that things there have changed while you have been away. Now you feel a little uncomfortable back home. Life is a struggle!74. Culture shock usually happens when you ____.A. are marriedB. move to a big cityC. go to live in a foreign cultureD. meet foreign people in your country75.

Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?A. Our brain and our personality will react to the strange new things we meet with when wemove from one culture to another.B. The first stage lasts for quite a long time because we are very excited about the new culture.C. The second stage can be more difficult because we can become very tired and begin to missour homeland and our family, friends, pets.D.

Life in a new culture is a struggle.B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage:（12分）When you step into a new environment, you must have a strong wish to fit in.

But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into c___86___.So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the s___87___ part of the brain(大脑). Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists arediscovering that so, too, does crying.Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure(压力) is important to our emotional(情感的) health, and crying seems to work well. One study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better a___88___ crying.Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendlier and they are more ready to p___89___ support and comfort. Tears also make us understand our emotions better; sometimes we don’t even know we’re very sad u___90___ we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.Just as crying can be healthy, not crying — holding back tears of anger, stress (紧张) or suffering —can be bad for physical health. Studies have shown that too much c___91___ of emotionscan lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don’t fight it. It’s a n___92___ — and healthy — emotional response.D. Answer the questions: ( 12分)Are you part of the “Thumb Generation”?The answer is clear – if you communicate by the use of cell phones and text messages, then yes, you are go in for an activity that has swept teenagers all over the world. According to the Nielsen Company, your American friends sent and received an average of 2,272 text messages a month, almost 80 messages a day.When your thumb types quickly on your mobile, have you ever thought about why you are obsessed(缠住，迷住)with it?Michael Hausauer, a psychotherapist (心理医生) in California, US, told the New York Times that teenagers had a “great interest in knowing what’s going on in the lives of their friends”. For that reason, he said, the rapid rise in texting has possibility for great advantage and great harm. “Texting can be a huge tool,” he told the paper. “It offers friendship and the promise of connectedness (联系). At the same time, texting can make a youngster (年青人) feel overly exposed(无掩蔽的；暴露的).”Text message may be an effective communication’s channel among teenagers, but according to Sherry Turkle, a psychologist who has studied teenage texting habits in Boston for three years, it might be causing a change in the way teenagers develop.For one thing, adolescence(青春期) is the period when teenagers break free from their parents to grow into adults. “But if technology makes staying in touch very, very easy, that’s harder to do.” said Turkle. “Now you have teenagers who are texting their mothers 15 times a day, asking things like, ‘Should I get the red shoes or the blue shoes?’ ”She also believes a mobile that vibrates (振动) every couple of minutes makes it difficult to get any peace and quiet. And physically (身体上), thumbs are the most obvious victims (受害者). Too much texting could lead to short-term or lasting hurt to the thumbs.Answer the questions. (本篇每题2分)93.
