【題目】My decision to travel around China lay merely with my curiosity about the place. Before coming here, China seemed alien to me ----a place that expected to be hugely dissimilar from my own British culture.

After travelling from Beijing up to Xi'an, I wanted to challenge myself by choosing a smaller town----Xiahe in Gansu Province. I arrived in Lanzhou at around 5 am, but there were no buses to Xiahe. I managed to spot a policeman and attempted to explain my destination to him in simple English, praying that he would understand. I wasn't sure that he did but I just followed him anyway as I had no choice. He took me on a bus and I didn't know where I was going. Luckily, I met a student who explained to me in English that the policeman was taking me to another bus station where I could take a bus to Xiahe. During this conversation a third man said he was also a policeman and would help me buy tickets. But as he was not in uniform, I was a little doubtful. The uniformed policeman told me it was OK to go with the third man, so I got off the bus with the so-called policeman who at this point, disappeared and I was left in the middle of nowhere. I stood panicking. Around one minute later a police car came and stopped right by me. It was the un-uniformed policeman. I got into the car and he dropped me directly at the bus station, and helped me buy the ticket.

This is one of many experiences that I have had in China. I realized that however different this culture was, there was one thing that would always stand out—kindness. In the west we seem to lack the foundation of trust, yet in China it seems that there will always be someone to answer your questions and lead you the right way.

【1】Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word "alien"?

A. Unfriendly. B. Familiar.

C. Strange. D. Attractive.

【2】What can we learn from the second paragraph?

A. The author doubted the so-called policeman.

B. The third man could speak English fluently.

C. The author followed a student to another bus station.

D. A police car took the un-uniformed policeman away.

【3】Why did the un-uniformed policeman disappear after the author got off the bus?

A. He hurried to buy a ticket for the author.

B. He went to get a car to pick the author up.

C. The author didn't behave in a friendly way.

D. The author found a uniformed policeman to help him.

【4】According to the text, what impressed the author deeply in China?

A. Beautiful scenes. B. Terrible transportation.

C. Troubles in small towns. D. People's kindness.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】A

【3】B

【4】D

【解析】試題分析: 本文講述一個(gè)英國(guó)人對(duì)于中國(guó)印象。

【1】C 考查詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)下文提到a place that expected to be hugely dissimilar from my own British culture可知作者對(duì)中國(guó)是陌生的，認(rèn)為那是一個(gè)與自己的英國(guó)文化有巨大差異的地方，故選陌生的。

【2】A 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段提到But as he was not in uniform, I was a little doubtful.可知作者對(duì)于穿制服的自稱警察的人有所懷疑，故選A項(xiàng)。

【3】B 考查推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段提到Around one minute later a police car came and stopped right by me. It was the un-uniformed policeman. I got into the car and he dropped me directly at the bus station可知他消失的原因是去找車(chē)接作者去車(chē)站，故選B項(xiàng)。

【4】D 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段提到there was one thing that would always stand out—kindness.在中國(guó)，人們的友善給作者留下深刻印象，故選D項(xiàng)。

Choosing a major is an important decision and one that could pave the way for a successful, lifelong career. Some students know what they want to major in right away, while others take their sweet time to choose. 【1】 Here are a few tips on how to choose a major:

Know your strengths. It can help you narrow down your options and find an area of study that suits you well. If you’re not certain what your strengths are, talk to your advisor and a career counselor(顧問(wèn)) to assess your strengths and apply them to a major. 【2】 Just because that your’re good at science doesn’t necessarily mean you’re prepared for advanced biology and chemistry classes, or weekly three-hour labs spent observing animals.

Talk to upperclassmen. Upperclassmen have been in your shoes and know how hard it can be to choose a major. 【3】 They can give you first-hand accounts of taking advanced courses and how to avoid switching majors halfway through college. Talking to upperclassmen about their majors will give you a better understanding of what each program undertakes and what to expect. They can also give you advice on which classes you should take, the best professors in the college and guaranteed ways to get an A.

【4】 Regardless of what your parents, friends or advisors tell you, choosing a major is your decision and you should do what you love. Students may feel pressured to choose a major based on career salaries and job outlook(前景). 【5】 If you’re stuck studying something you hate, chances are that you won’t do very well in your classes and you may end up never using your degree.

A. Follow your heart.

B. Talk to people in the area.

C. Either way, don’t worry.

D. They won’t sugarcoat things, either.

E. It’s also important to know your limits.

F. Before you settle on a particular major, find out more.

G. However, it’s far more important that you follow your passion.

【題目】概要寫(xiě)作

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容寫(xiě)一篇60詞左右的內(nèi)容概要。

When a consumer finds that something he or she bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to what the producer says for it, the first step is to present the warranty(保單),or any other records that might help, at the store of buying. In most cases, this action will produce results.

However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction. A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favour, taking it as true that he or she has a just right.

Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of buying, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.

Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can show clearly what is wrong with what was bought in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo(立體音響) does not work.”.

The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the producer, if so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the expected result, the consumer can go a step further. He or she can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a public organization responsible for protecting consumers' rights.

【題目】 Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors （因素）tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision. In a society where people are similar in many ways, there are fewer situations for people to see the need or the chance for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and clear.

Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material aspects, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the simple elements（要素）rather than in the complex ones; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange ones.

Besides, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with a sharp division. This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities, because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white fellows.

【1】The underlined part “greater tolerance” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to “________”.

A. quicker adaptation to changing conditions

B. greater willingness to accept social change

C. more respect for different beliefs and behavior

D. greater readiness to agree to different conditions

【2】 Why is social change less likely to occur in a society where people are similar in many ways?

A. They are so conservative that they tend to slow down social change.

B. They can easily get what they want in the material aspect of society.

C. They are so used to their conditions that they seldom want to change.

D. They have similar needs that can be satisfied without much difficulty.

【3】 Which of the following factors probably tends to promote social change fast?

A. Different points of view.

B. Traditional values.

C. Sharp divisions in relations.

D. Similar appearances.

【4】What is this passage mainly discussing?

A. Two different kinds of society.

B. Consequences of social change.

C. The importance of social change.

D. Certain factors affecting social change.
