2． Psychologists tell us that there are four basic stages that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new culture.
Culture begins with the "honeymoon stage".This is the period of time when we first arrive in a country where everything about the new culture is strange and exciting.We may be suffering from "jet lag" but we are thrilled to be in the new environment，seeing new sights，hearing new sounds and language，eating new kinds of food.
Unfortunately，after we have settled down into 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.
The third stage comes 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 surroundings.You can cope with most problems that occur.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 occurs when you go back to your native 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）When does culture shock happen？
A．When you reach your teens.
B．When you begin an urban life.
C．When you go to live in a foreign culture.
D．When you meet foreign people for the first time.
（2）How do you feel during the first stage of culture shock？
A．Happy and excited
B．Bored and homesick
C．Lonely and depressed
D．Angry and frustrated
（3）How could the third stage be described？
A．Adjustment
B．Rejection
C．Enthusiasm
D．Embarrassment
（4）Why might reverse culture shock be a problem？
A．It hardly ever happens.
B．It is extremely stressful.
C．It is out of expectation.
D．It only happens to young people.組卷：1引用：4難度：0.5 -
3． "Long time no see." is a very interesting sentence.When I first read this sentence from an American friend's e-mail，I laughed.I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.
Obviously，it is a word-by-word literal translation （直譯） of the Chinese greeting with wrong English grammar!Later on，my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting.I was too surprised to believe jye.ai.Her words were unbelievable at all.So I did research on Google.com.To my surprise，there are over 60 thousand web pages containing "Long time no see." Though it is sort of informal，it is part of the language that Americans use daily.Interestingly，if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word，the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.
Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence.Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan's movies.In the 1930s，Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a worldwide famous Chinese detective （警探） named "Charlie Chan" on wide screens.Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. "Long time no see." was his symbol.Soon after Charlie Chan， "Long time no see." became a popular expression in America thanks to the popularity of these movies.
Some scholars compare America to a huge melting pot.All kinds of cultures are mixed in the pot together，and they change the color and taste of each other.Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed pot.
You can have some examples from other countries，such as pizza from Italian，sushi from Japanese，and déjà vu from French etc.There is a long list!Since Americans admire Chinese culture more and more nowadays，I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future.In this way，the American's melting pot keeps adding richness.
（1）What did the writer himself feel surprised at？
A．The Chinglish expression "Long time no see."
B．So many literal translations of the expressions used in America.
C．"Long time no see." is used as a standard American English greeting.
D．Finding out Americans use the expression every day.
（2）What do the underlined words "melting pot" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？
A．Confucius's words.
B．Culture mixture.
C．A kind of cooked dish.
D．American changing cultures.
（3）What can be inferred from the passage？
A．Detectives translated the phrase "Long time no see."
B．Cultures cannot be changed in the huge melting pot.
C．The huge melting pot greatly affects all kinds of languages.
D．Hollywood made "Long time no see." popular.
（4）What is the main idea of the passage？
A．American English keeps being enriched by different cultures.
B．Americans have a strong interest in Chinese culture.
C．Some American expressions can be used in China.
D．Some Chinese expressions are introduced into English.組卷：3引用：5難度：0.5

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
Ten-year-old Sami loved to visit his grandfather's house.The house was near the beautiful blue sea.At the seaside stood thick and tall palm trees with green coconuts hanging from them.When the coconuts fell down，Sami would break them open and drink the coconut water.It was always great fun to spend the holidays at Grandpa's place.
This winter vacation，Sami was surprised when he came to his grandfather's village.There were hardly any trees left.He saw houses built near the sea.People had cut down many palm trees and there was hardly any greenery left.
Grandpa's house was different.He never allowed his trees to be cut.He hugged each palm tree in his courtyard.He also named the two big trees near the front door—one was Petu，and the other Betu.They were tall and green and gave the sweetest，juiciest coconuts.
One night，Sami was awakened by a strange sound.He could not sleep.He tossed and turned （輾轉(zhuǎn)反側(cè)） in bed.Suddenly，the ground shook as if the earth was splitting.He sat up straight and then ran to Grandpa.He clung to （抓緊） his grandpa tightly.Grandpa cried out， "It's an earthquake!" They ran outside the house.
Suddenly，there was a loud sound；the earth was not splitting but the sea was roaring.People were shouting，screaming and crying， "The sea is rising!" The villagers started running away from the beach.Sami watched with fear.
The waves were rising higher and higher.Sami thought， "How big the waves are!" He went into the house again and saw water coming in from all sides.He was scared.
Sami remembered his mother telling him long ago， "You must always get out of the house if the floods come too near." He ran outside the house with Grandpa.But the water came surging （洶涌） in.
Waves about twelve meters high came rushing in，drowning everything.Water was all around and everywhere.

（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
