24、We may know that there are four basic stages 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 head 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 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 time of cultural adjustment(调整) can be very difficult and lead to pulling away from 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!
The fourth stage can be called “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 shock which many people don’t know about. This is called
“reverse culture shock”. 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!
【1】How do you feel during the first stage of culture shock?
A. Lonely and sad. B. Bored and homesick.
C. Angry and impatient. D. Happy and excited.
【2】How could the third stage be described?
A. Adjustment. B. Pulling away C. Shock. D. Anger.
【3】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Human beings would pass through four stages when they begin to live in a new culture.
B. Entering and living in a new culture is challenging(挑战).
C. It is much fun to live in a new culture.
D. Life in a new culture is a struggle.
25、 China is the home of tea, which has more than 4000 years of history. Among the three main drinks—tea, coffee and cocoa, tea is drunk by the largest number of people in the world. Tea from China, along with silk and porcelain, began to be known by the world over a thousand years ago.
The words for “tea” in different languages came from the Chinese character “cha”. The English word, “tea”, sounds similar to the pronunciation of it in Xiamen. The Russians call it “chai’i”, which sounds like “chaye”(tea leaves). The Japanese character for tea is written exactly the same as it is in Chinese.
Tea leaves are produced mainly in the south of China because of the mild climate and rich soil there. Longiing, Pu’ er, Wulong and Tieguanyin are all famous tea. Over the past centuries, Chinese people have developed their unique tea culture. Tea is also a popular topic in dances, songs, poems and novels.

26、The Chinese actor, Wang Luoyong, touched the hearts of many Chinese in the USA. He read a letter by Zhuge Liang to the emperor of Shu during the Three Kingdoms (三国) period in the new season of Growling Tiger, Roaring Dragon (《虎啸龙吟》).
The letter has been read by so many students. We had never thought that the text written in old Chinese could be so beautifully read in another language. As a result, foreigners begin to show interest in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, translated by C.H. Brewitt Tailor and Robert E. Hegel.
Earlier in November, 1979, pupils in England were able to watch a new TV program called Monkey. Most of them were hearing the story for the first time. However, the story of the Monkey King isn’t new to Chinese children in the traditional Chinese book Journey to the West.
As soon as the TV program came out, Western children became interested in reading this story because the clever Monkey King keeps fighting to help the weak and never gives up.
Chinese scholars (学者) should do a better job of introducing Chinese literature (文学) to the rest of the world. At the same time, we could encourage Western schools to try something different.
Reading international literature is a good way of understanding other people in the world. And the more we understand each other, the more beautiful the world will be.
【1】What touched many Chinese in the USA?
A．Zhuge Liang wrote such a moving letter.
B．The Chinese actor acted Zhuge Liang so well.
C．The letter by Zhuge liang was read in English.
D．Many students can read the letter by Zhuge Liang.
【2】When was the TV program Monkey first shown in England?
A．About 20 years ago.
B．About 30 years ago.
C．About 40 years ago.
D．About 50 years ago.
【3】Why did Western children like the Money King?
A．He is clever and has a handsome look.
B．He helps the weak and never gives up.
C．He teaches children skills to fight the bad.
D．He is the hero of a traditional Chinese book.
【4】What is the writer’s hope?
A．Chinese literature goes to the world.
B．Chinese learn about the world.
C．Foreigners come to learn from China.
D．Chinese scholars write great works.
27、 Sometimes, I doubt whether there is any love between my parents. Every day they are busy trying to make money. They don't act romantic ways couples do in books and on TV. They never say "I love you". It's not their style.
One day, my mother was sewing (缝) a quilt (被子). I sat down beside her. "Mom, I have a question to ask you," I said after a while.
"What?" she asked, still working.
"Is there love between you and Dad?" I asked her. She didn't answer right away. I thought I had hurt her. At last I heard my mother say, "Susan, look at this thread (线). Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. It makes the quilt strong. If life was a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere, but it's really there."
I listened carefully but I didn't understand her until the next spring. My father suddenly got seriously sick. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.
After they got back, she helped my father walk slowly down the country road every day. My father had never been so gentle.
"Dad, how are you feeling now?" I asked him one day.
"Susan, don't worry about me," he said, "I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life."
Once, I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. Now, I know that love is the thread that holds a family together.
【1】Why does the writer think there may be no love between her parents?
A.Because they never say "I love you." to each other.
B.Because they don't look after each other.
C.Because they don't go for walks together.
【2】Why didn't the writer's mother answer her right away?
A.Because the writer's mother didn't know the answer.
B.Because the writer's mother wanted to give a proper answer.
C.Because the writer's mother didn't love her husband.
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A.The writer's parents don't love the writer.
B.The writer's parents love each other in their own way.
C.The writer's father didn't like to walk with his wife.
【4】With the story of the quilt and the thread, the writer's mother wanted to ________.
A.teach the writer how to make a quilt
B.show she was very good at making quilts
C.tell the writer what love was
【5】Now, the writer thinks love ________.
A.means flowers, gifts and sweat kisses

C.is like a quilt
28、People have always tried hard to invent useful things. They know well that nothing is p【1】 without careful observation（观察）and hard work. Now inventions can be s【2】 here and there in our life. They can be invented by a single person o【3】 in group work. Some new things are invented by chance（偶然地）, but o【4】 are not. People get new ideas from earlier things.
The new and surprising things show technology has really c【5】 our life a lot. For example, with nanotechnology（纳米技术）, we can build what we want b【6】 everything is made up of with atoms.
We c【7】 make clothes that are free from dirty marks. We can own cellphone batteries that can last f【8】 100 days. We will have better medicine. The possible uses of nanotechnology are too m【9】 to count. Maybe in the near f【10】 , our life will become more convenient. Do you think so?
