27、Culture shock occurs when people have been suddenly thrown into a new culture. Newcomers may be anxious because they don’t speak the language. Neither do they know the customs or understand the people’s behavior in daily life.

Quite often the visitor find that “yes” may not always mean “yes”, that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship, or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes. The foreigners may be unsure as when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The idea of culture shock helps explain feeling of puzzlement and confusion.

Language problems do not lead to all the setbacks that people feel. When one has lost everything that was once familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register(注册，登记) for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.

When an individual enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water. Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture. When this happens, visitors may want to refuse everything about the new environment and may glorify and sing their own praises of the positive aspects of their own culture. On the other side, more visitors may sneeze at their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it.

【1】What do people feel when they are suddenly in a new culture?

A．Excited.

B．Delighted.

C．Upset.

D．Hopeless.

【2】We can infer from the second paragraph that _______.

A．it’s impossible to get used to a new culture

B．people feel confused due to culture shock

C．foreigners often don’t mean what they say

D．most foreigners are usually quite humorous

【3】The underlined expression “he or she feels like a fish out of water” in the last paragraph suggests ______.

A．people away from their cultures can hardly survive in a new culture

B．a fish can not survive without water

C．people away from their culture experience mental loneliness.

D．people away from their culture have many difficulties in new environment

【4】The biggest barrier(障碍) people often meet with in a new country is _____.

A．the language

B．the transportation

C．the environment

D．the puzzlement

28、In Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.

Asians are immigrating (移民) to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before. Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West. In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.

The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East. Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes. For these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West. Therefore, these children become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”.

Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kid” problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a “satellite kid” means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means to grow up lonely, because your parents are elsewhere. What these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that it’s better to have parents around than to have a university education

【1】Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because ________

A. they hope their children may easily find a job there

B. all foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countries

C. the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countries

D. the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends

【2】“Satellite kids” refer to Asian kids ________

A. without parents B. speaking no English

C. with university education D. living abroad alone

【3】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Parents want better education for their kids

B. Parents feel lonely and miss their families

C. Kids in foreign countries alone are badly in need of care from family

D. Canadians and Americans begin to notice the “satellite kids” problem

29、When times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we’re hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.

One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor’s degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there’s a question: Would the quality of undergraduate education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a “three-year degree” model.

I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits. In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly “throw out” one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist “diluting(稀释)”the quality of the education they offer.

In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it’s not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns(实习生)in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University.

【1】Which of the following can be the best title?

A. It’s time to shorten the learning process

B. Best learning takes place over time

C. University education should be watered down

D. College education calls for reform

【2】In most US universities, ________ .

A. some excellent students can graduate ahead of time

B. college students are offered the co-op program

C. electives’ credits make up one quarter of the required credits

D. all students are required to finish four-year education before graduation

【3】We can infer that ________ .

A. the author is a college professor

B. the author considers the university education quality very important

C. the author thinks the cost of a university education is too high for people to afford

D. the author pays special attention to the all-round development of college students

【4】The first paragraph serves as a(n) ________ .

A. explanation B. Definition C. Comment D. introduction

32、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

My family live on a farm, in the middle of a small jungle. Every day after school, I go to the fields with my father. Once, at the corner of our field, I encountered a shy baby deer. Naturally, I tried to pet it, but it ran away. Eventually, he started accepting food from me. Soon we were familiar with each other. I called him Choco. I can’t live without him and he can’t live without me.

One day I was playing with Choco on the farm. I sadly noticed two men standing just opposite our farm. I kept on playing till dusk, when I suddenly had to go back to home. As soon as I walked in, Hardy, My dog, greeted us, wagging his tail.

That night, Choco probably went to his hut. I was at home and in bed, but my mind was still with the road and the men. Why did they come to watch us? I was worried. I couldn’t fall asleep as usual.

The next morning, I could find Choco nowhere. I was sure the two men had taken MY CHOCO! My mind was uncontrollable as I followed Hardy in his search for Choco. We finally reached the place. It was a big house, with an open a gate. Hardy jumped in, and I followed him. As was expected, Choco was there beyond the fence. I must rescue him. All of a sudden, a man and a black dog started chasing us, so we ran away.

The next day at school, I met my old cousin. We discussed the matter for hours and finally, an idea came to us.
