Specialists
say that it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. “Culture shock”
is the 36 these specialists use when talking about
the 37 that people have in a 38 environment. There are three stages of
culture shock, say the specialists. In the first stage, the new comers like
their new environment. Then, when the 39 experience dies, they begin to 40 the city, the country, the people, and
everything else. In the last stage, the new comers begin to adjust to their
surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life 41 .
There are
some various factors in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The 42
may be different. The
public service systems---the telephone, post office, or transportation--- may
be difficult to 43 . The most simple things seem to be big
problems. The language may be 44 .
Who feels
culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. 45 culture shock surprises most people. Very
often the people having the worst culture shock are those who 46 had any difficulties in their home
countries and were 47 in their community. Coming to a new 48 , these people find they do not have the
same established positions. They find 49 without a role, almost
without an identity. They have to 50 a new self-image.
Culture shock
gives rise to a feeling of disorientation（迷失方向）. This
feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying 51 all the time. They want to 52 themselves from the strange
environment, and create an escape inside their room for a 53 of safety. This escape does 54 the problem of culture shock in the short
term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting
to know the new environment and 55 experience---these are the long-term
solutions to the problem of culture shock.

There are some very good things about open education.
This way of teaching allows the students to grow as people, and to develop
their interests in many subjects. Open education allows students to be
responsible for their own education, as they are responsible for what they do
in life. Some students do badly in traditional classrooms. The open classroom
may allow them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open
education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules. For
students who worry about these things a lot, it is a good idea to be in an open
classroom.
But many students will not do well in an open
classroom. For some students, there are too few rules. These students will do
little in school. They will not make good use of open education, which is so
different from traditional education. These students may have a problem of
getting used to making so many choices. For many students it is important to
have some rules in the classroom. They worry about the rules even when there
are no rules. Even a few rules will help this kind of students. The last point
about open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it. Many
teachers do not believe in open education. Teachers who want to have an open
classroom may have many problems at their school.
You now know what open education is. Some of its good
points and bad points have been explained. You may have your own opinion about
open education. The writer thinks that open education is a good idea, but only
in theory. In actual fact, it may not work very well in a real class or school.
The writer believes that most students, but of course not all students, want
some structure in their classes. They want and need to have rules. In some
cases, they must be made to study some subjects. Many students are pleased to
find subjects they have to study interesting. They would not study those
subjects if they did not have to.
56. Open education
can make some students to _____________.
A. enjoy learning every
subject
B. be responsible for their future
C. be interested in many
subjects
D. know the importance of rules

classroom is not good for some students because ___________.

education

not like open education.
B. Many teachers do not believe in
open education.
C. Teachers may have problems in
open education.

attitudes are important to the students.
59. Which of the

Did you ever wonder why the water level in a glass
doesn’t change when the ice in the glass melts? To find out why, you can use
the scientific method. Used by scientists in various situa-
tions, the scientific method is also a clear and logical way to solve
many real-world problems, as the procedure below indicates.
Step in the Scientific Method
Examples
State the problem or question.
“Why doesn’t the water level in a glass rise when ice melts?”
Collect information about the problem, using your own observations and research.
You already know that ice is frozen water. From your research, you learn that water and ice are made of water molecules.
Form a hypothesis, or a best guess based on the information.
“The molecules in water appear to be closer together than they are in ice.”
Test the hypothesis by doing an experiment.
Fill four glasses with ice. Then pour water over the ice and fill each glass to the rim. As the ice melts, you observe that the water does not spill over the top of the glasses. Each time you repeat the experiment, you get the same results.
Draw a conclusion based on your results.
Molecules are closer together in water than they are in ice.
60. Which of the
following is good title for this passage?
A. Research and Conclusion
B. Observation and Experiment
C. Follow the Steps to Find Out Why D.
Mix Water with Ice and Get the Result
61. A hypothesis
is _____________.
A. a guess about the cause of
something B.
the first step in the scientific method
C. a conclusion about water molecules
D. an experiment on ice and water
62. This passage
suggests that ___________.
A. repeated experiments lead to the right
result
B. research should be done in various
situations
C. your hypothesis can prove your
experiment results
D. a logical method is needed when
solving problem
63. The chart in
the passage is useful because it ____________.
A. shows a diagram of how ice
melts
B. compares water with ice
C. shows steps and examples
D. explains cause and effect
C
Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only
lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not
serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can
last for years. Psychologists are studying this phenomenon in an attempt to
better understand long-term loneliness. These researchers have already
identified three different types of loneliness.
The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the
most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require special
attention. The second kind, situations loneliness, is a natural result of a
particular--- for example, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place.
Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches
and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year. Situational
loneliness is easy to understand and to predict.
The third kind of loneliness is the most severe.
Unlike the second type, chronic loneliness usually lasts more than two
years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have
problems socializing. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there
is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.
Many researchers agree that the loneliest
people are between the ages 18 and 25, so a group of psychologists decided to
study a group of college students. They found that more than 50% of the
students were situationally lonely at the beginning of the term as a result of
their new circumstances, but had adjusted after a few months. Thirteen percent
were still lonely after seven months due to ( because of ) shyness and fear.
They felt very uncomfortable meeting new people, even though they understood
that their fear was not reasonable. The situationally lonely students overcame
their loneliness by making new friends, but the chronically lonely remained
unhappy because they were afraid to do so.
Psychologists are trying to find ways to
help habitually lonely people for two reasons. First of all, they are unhappy
and unable to socialize. Secondly, researchers have found a connection between
chronic loneliness and serious illnesses such as heart disease. While temporary
and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, chronic
loneliness can be a very sad, and sometimes dangerous, condition.
64. The passage
mainly talks about ___________.
A. the subjects of psychology.
B. the study on loneliness
C. the interests of psychologists.
D. the treatment of loneliness.
65. All of the
following are true EXCEPT that _____________.
A. 37% of the students can overcome loneliness
easily
B. temporary loneliness does not need
special attention
C. chronic loneliness can cause problems in
socializing
D. situational loneliness can cause
physical problems
66. The underlined
word “chronic” in paragraph 3 means “__________”.
A. terrible B.
continual
C. deadly
D. ordinary
67. Psychologists
want to help the habitually lonely people because ___________.
A. they are college students
B. they are sad and dangerous
C. they intend to communicate with
others
D. they may have mental and
physical problems
D
Life in the Universe
One of the most exciting questions to which scientists
are seeking an answer is, “Are there living things anywhere else in the
universe? Is the earth the only body in the whole enormous universe where human
beings or anything like human beings exist?”
First we must consider what goes to make a living
thing, whether plant or animal, and then what conditions living things need in
order to go on living. Living things, like everything else, are made of atoms
and these atoms are grouped into molecules. A molecule is the very smallest
possible bit you can have of any substance. When you break up a molecule of
water, for example, you no longer have water at all, but only the atoms of
which water is made---one atom of oxygen and two of hydrogen. The molecules of
living things are made, not of two or three atoms, but of hundreds or thousands
in different complicated patterns.
If they become too hot, these complicated molecules of
living things break up into separate atoms and cease(停止) to be living. Therefore there cannot be life on the
sun or any of the stars because they are far too hot. Living molecules are also
damaged by X-rays, and many of them by ultra-violet rays, so they are not
likely to exist on a planet close to the sun or any other star where there is
no atmosphere to keep off these radiations.
As well as
conditions which do not break up their molecules, living things need energy to
make them breathe, grow and move, which non-living things, like rocks and
metals, do not need at all. On earth plants and animals get their energy,
directly or indirectly, from the light and heat of the sun. So planets which
are very far from the sun and extremely cold are not places where living things
could exist.
All the plants and animals which we know of on earth
have to breathe and so can live only on planets which have suitable
atmospheres. Mars and Venus both have atmospheres but neither is of the sort
which would support earth-type men or animals. The atmosphere on Mars is very
thin and contains very little oxygen, while that of Venus is made up of gases
which we could not possibly breathe.
Living things on earth have grown by a process we call
evolution from the simplest single-cell plant or animal up to the vast variety
of living things we know today including the miracle of man himself. It is not
too difficult to imagine that on some other planets orbiting around other stars
the same process has gone on. The course of evolution may have varied greatly,
and quite different living things may have evolved. But somewhere in space,
millions and millions of miles away, there may be other creatures, with brains
as well developed as ours who are also groping out into space to discover what
else exists in this wonderful universe.
68. How do you
understand “As well as conditions” in the 4th paragraph?
A. By means of conditions.
B. Under existing conditions.
C. Apart from.
D. Under good conditions.
69. According to
the author, ____________________.
A. people can live on Mars and Venus
because they have atmospheres
B. other creatures in the universe may
try to make a visit to us
C. there may be intelligent beings out in
space
D. living things only need energy and
oxygen to live
70. The course of
evolution which the author refers to implies ______________.
A. man evolved from animals like
monkeys
B. different living things may
have evolved
C. living things have grown from
the simplest single-cell plant or animal to many kinds of living things
D. man evolved from any living
things
71. Which of the
following statements is true?
A. When living molecules break up
into atoms, they will continue to be living.
B. The atmospheric structure on
Venus is different from that on Mars.
C. There is no atmosphere to keep
X-rays and ultra-violet rays off on the sun.
D. The molecules of living things
are made of two or three atoms.

Some people believe that international
sport brings about good will between the nations and that if countries play
games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite
is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to
misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments,
but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that
sport encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the terrible
incident with the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by those
incidents caused mainly by minor national contests.
One country received its second-place medal
with great anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end
of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were
certain that one of their goals should not have been dismissed and that the
opposite side’s victory was unfair. Their manager was angry when he said, “This
wasn’t hockey. Hockey and international Hockey Society are finished.”
The president of the society said later that such words could result in the
pause of the team for at least three years.
The American basketball team announced that
they would not give away first place to Russia, after a fighting end to their
contest. The game had ended in quarrel. It was thought at first that the United
States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three
seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the
court to the other, and another player beat it into the basket. It was the
first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. The judges
discussed the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that result
would stand. The American players then decided not to receive the silver
medals.
Incidents of this kind will continue as
long as sport is played for honors or money rather than for the love of the
game. The suggestion that sportsmen should compete as individuals, or in
non-national team, might be too much to hope for. But in the present
organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages dangerous
nationalism.
72. According to
the author, recent Olympic Games have ____________.
A. brought about goodwill between
the nations
B. made only false national pride
C. hardly showed any international
friendship
D. led to more and more
misunderstanding and hatred
73. What did the manager mean
by saying, “… Hockey and the International Hockey Society are finished”?
A. His team would no longer take
part in international games.
B. Hockey and the society are both
ruined by the unfair decisions.
C. There should be no more hockey
matches organized by the society.
D. The society should be
dismissed.
74. The author gives the two
examples in paragraphs 2 and 3 to show ___________.
A. how false national pride leads
to undesirable incidents in international games
B. that sport men have been more
troublesome than they used to be
C. that competitiveness in the
games discourages international friendship
D. that unfair decisions are
common in Olympic Games
75. What conclusion can be
drawn from the text?
A. The organization of the Olympic
Games must be improved.
B. Athletes should compete as
individuals in the Olympic Games.
C. Sport should be played competitively
rather than for the love of the game.
D. International contests lead to
misunderstanding between nations.

开放作文 （满分15）
When I was
in Senior One, I was caught cheating in the final exam. I felt everyone in my
class looked down upon me. I was so ashamed that I decided to run away from
school. Upon knowing that, my teacher paid a visit to my home in person and had
a long chat with me, which made me come to know that being brave enough to recognize
one’s mistakes and overcome them is a basic quality for a man.
