12.Culture shock is so named because of the effect it has on people when they enter a new culture.Experts have been interested in these effects and have agreed on five basic stages of culture shock.These stages are general and should only be used as a reference.Not every individual will go through each stage,and one stage may last longer than another for different individuals.
The hardest thing for most travelers to deal with is the emotional"roller coaster"they seem to be riding.One moment they feel very positive toward the new culture,and the next moment very negative.It seems common that international visitors and immigrants  vacillate  between loving and hating a new country.Feelings of separation and alienation can be intensified if they do not have a sense of fitting in or belonging.
Extreme tiredness is another problem people face when entering a new culture.There can be a sense of a greater need for sleep.This is due not only to physical tiredness,but also to mental fatigue.This mental fatigue comes from straining to comprehend the language,and coping with new situations.
The impact of culture shock can vary from person to person.There can be significant differences because some people may be better prepared to enter a new culture.Four factors which play into these are personality,language ability,length of stay,and the emotional support received.
It is logical to think that when people are deprived of their familiar surroundings they will feel disoriented.One solution some have found is to bring a few small reminders of home.Pictures,wall hangings,favorite utensils,and keepsakes(紀(jì)念品)are all good candidates to make things feel more familiar.Another helpful activity is to establish little routines that become familiar over time.Even better is fitting things that were part of the regular routine back in the home country into the routine established in the new culture.This will make people feel more at home.

53.A person experiencing"culture shock"is mostly likeD.
A.a(chǎn) dog without shelter     B.a(chǎn) bird back home
C.a(chǎn) horse lack of training  D.a(chǎn) fish out of water
54.What does the underlined word"vacillate"in the second paragraph mean?A
A.hesitate  B.stop  C.watch  D.suffer
55.What is the result for one experiencing"culture shock"?D
A.Seeming to be riding a roller coater.
B.Having to agree on five basic stages.
C.Having all home things taken abroad.
D.Suffering both physically and mentally.
56.To overcome"culture shock",one had betterA.
A.make some necessary changes in one's way of life
B.recall part of regular routine in the home country
C.buy a few reminders like pictures or wall hangers
D.enjoy things brought from home country more often.

分析 本文是一篇說明文.主要闡述了有關(guān)文化沖擊的問題.文化沖擊影響著人們,且會(huì)經(jīng)歷許多階段. 對不同的個(gè)體經(jīng)歷的階段可能會(huì)長于另一個(gè)人.對大多數(shù)旅行者來說最難處理的是情緒上的波動(dòng),在面對一個(gè)新國家時(shí),愛與憎恨猶豫不決,分離和疏遠(yuǎn)愈加強(qiáng)烈.對新的文化,產(chǎn)生身體和精神上的疲勞;對文化沖擊的影響因人而異,個(gè)性,語言能力,時(shí)間長短,個(gè)人的情緒等.也有一些方法可以解決新文化所來的沖擊.接觸一些與家鄉(xiāng)有聯(lián)系的物品/提示物品;進(jìn)行一些在自己國家養(yǎng)成的習(xí)慣活動(dòng)常規(guī).

解答 53.D     推理判斷題.根據(jù)第三段中的"Extreme tiredness is another problem people face when entering a new culture"及第五段中的"when people are deprived of their familiar surroundings they will feel disoriented"可知,當(dāng)人們面臨新文化的影響和沖擊時(shí),身心會(huì)受到很大影響和不適,會(huì)失去判斷力,分不清方向或目標(biāo),就如同離開了水的魚.故選D.
54.A      詞義猜測題.根據(jù)第二段中的"One moment they feel very positive toward the new culture,and the next moment very negative"可知,當(dāng)人們受不同文化影響時(shí),所呈現(xiàn)的態(tài)度時(shí)而積極,時(shí)而消極,態(tài)度搖擺不定,即"猶豫不決",故選A.
55.D     細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段中的"Extreme tiredness is another problem people face when entering a new culture和This is due not only to physical tiredness,but also to mental fatigue"可知,人們受不同的新文化影響時(shí),會(huì)遭受身心上的極度倦怠,故選D.
56.A     細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章最后一段中的"One solution some have found is to bring a few small reminders of home和Another helpful activity is to establish little routines that become familiar over time"可知,為了克服文化沖擊,可以有一些方法來應(yīng)對:接觸一些與家鄉(xiāng)有聯(lián)系的物品/提示物品;進(jìn)行一些在自己國家養(yǎng)成的習(xí)慣活動(dòng)常規(guī).故選A.

點(diǎn)評 解答細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí),一個(gè)常用的方法就是運(yùn)用定位法,即根據(jù)題干和選項(xiàng)中的關(guān)鍵詞從原文中找到相關(guān)的句子,與選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行比較從而確定答案;推理判斷題既要求學(xué)生透過文章表面文字信息推測文章隱含意思,又要求學(xué)生對作者的態(tài)度、意圖及文章細(xì)節(jié)的發(fā)展作正確的推理判斷,力求從作者的角度去考慮,不要固守自己的看法或觀點(diǎn).

3.Dogs can bring joy and companionship into our lives.Coming home to a wagging tail and an eager smile creates a feeling of love and happiness.In fact,having a pet can reduce stress,lower blood pressure and relieve depression.Here are tips for handling,training,and owning dogs.
Choosing the right dog for you.Here you can see we have a German Shepherd (牧羊犬),a Boxer (拳師犬),and an English Bulldog.A Shepherd is a guarding dog; the Boxer is more of a working dog; A Bulldog likes to hang out,which is kind of a couch potato,if you're a laid back person and don't want to run down the beach with a dog,the perfect dog is a Bulldog.
Approaching an unfamiliar dog.The first thing about approaching an unfamiliar dog,is that if you're going to reach your hands towards the dog,you need to do it from underneath,so your hand is not given to the dog in a threatening manner,which can be interpreted as being hit.You let them smell you first.When they smell you,don't flinch (畏縮),or take a sudden move,because you can scare the dog,and get bitten.You're to show your friendly side to the dog.
Pet food.The first thing about buying pet food is what's the right type of food for your dog.Usually cheap pet foods are not good for dogs,they tend to have more health problems throughout their life.So starting on a healthy food is important.Look for food with no fillers,and no artificial flavors,or dyes.When feeding them,it's good to give them a metal bowl.A lot of times the plastic bowls can cause anger to their mouth.
Exercising your dog.Walking is always a great form of exercise,good for you,great for dogs.And swimming is another great form of exercise for you too.And sometimes what you should do is get on the bicycle,and let them get a good run on,and that allows you to maintain your position as leader in front of them.Exercising them also keeps them from getting into bored behaviors like chewing and digging and that sort of thing.
Biting dog.If you have a biting dog,the best thing to do,along with a firm no,is trying not to be emotional about it.Just be firm.Give it a little pop beneath the chin (下巴) to close its mouth,and it'll remember the result.You can trap it into putting its mouth on you.And then make it close the jaw,creating that pop sound,which it doesn't like.
46.A bulldog may be good as aD.
A.hunter B.guard  C.worker D.companion
47.When approaching an unfamiliar dog,you'd better beB.
A.brave and prepared to hit it  B.friendly and let it smell you
C.careful and ready to run awayD.playful and feed it to the mouth
48.What is the right thing to do in keeping your dogC?
A.Feeding your dog with cheap food.B.Offering pet food in a plastic bowl.
C.Cycling with your dog running behind.D.Training the dog chewing and digging.
49.To keep your dog from the bad habit of biting things,you canD.
A.shout at it with a loud"no"B.pretend to hit it with a stick
C.just be firm and ignore itD.put its jaw to a sudden shut.

17.In 1997,I found myself in a situation I never thought I'd be in:alone and begging for money in New York.My father had been separated from our family,and my mother had  recently died from complications related to AIDS.What I remember most about such nights is lying on the cold marble floor and using my backpack for a pillow.
    Even though I had lost my family,I made choices every single day to turn my life around.There was the haven for homeless teenagers called the Door,a non-profit organization that provided me with guidance,medical care and food,all of which kept me going while Icompleted my homework in train stations and under hallway lights.Perhaps the most surprising help though,I did not seek out﹔it found me.The New York Times told my story.In the weeks that followed,dozens of strangers reached out to me from all across the United States.At my high school,I began receiving handwritten letters of encouragement.Strangers showed up bearing clothes,books,and even hugs.Since the article mentioned I was applying to Harvard,one woman knitted a blanket for me.She attached this note to the box it was posted in:"It getscold in those dorms.May you warm yourself knowing that people care about you".
    With the help of these people,my life today bears no resemblance at all to my life then.Igraduated not only from high school but also from Harvard University.
    Before these people-some of them nameless-I just didn't realize how good people could be.But now I do,and I can say that the people who helped me have forever changed me.They are the reason behind my decision to join the board at the Door so that I can be part of a
small team of people opening a high school for homeless teenagers.They are the reason Idedicate my life to opening pathways for others.And they are the reason I travel around the world helping people transform their own lives.
