21、The term, culture shock, describes the anxiety produced when a person moves to a completely new environment. This term expresses the lack of direction, the feeling of not knowing what to do, and not knowing what is appropriate or inappropriate.  The feeling of culture shock generally sets in after the first few weeks of coming to a new place.

We can describe culture shock as the physical and emotional discomfort one suffers when coming to live in another country or place. Often, the way that we lived before is not accepted as or considered as normal in the new place.  Everything is different, for example, not speaking the language, not knowing how to use banking machines and so forth.

Although one can experience real pain from culture shock, it is also an opportunity for resetting one' s life objectives.  It is a great opportunity for learning and acquiring new viewpoints. Culture shock can make one develop a better understanding of oneself.

Culture shock has many stages. The first stage is called the "honeymoon" stage. The new arrival may feel excited as everything is new.

In the second stage, a person may encounter some difficult times in daily life. For example, communication difficulties may occur such as not being understood. There may be feelings of discontent, anger, sadness, and feeling incompetence. This happens when a person is trying to adapt to a new culture.  Transition (过渡) between the old methods and those of the new country is a difficult process and takes time to complete.

The third stage is characterized by gaining some understanding of the new culture. One may start to feel a certain psychological balance. The new arrival may start to have a feeling of direction and want to belong.

In the fourth stage, the person realizes that the new culture has good and bad things to offer. The person has a more solid feeling of belonging and starts to set goals for living.

The fifth stage is called the " re-entry shock".  This occurs when a return to the

country of origin is made. One may find that things are no longer the same. For example, some of the newly acquired customs are not in use in the old culture.

Many factors (因素) contribute to the length and effects of culture shock. For example, the individual's state of mental health, type of personality, previous experiences, familiarity with the language, and level of education. So the five stages are present at different times and each person has their own way of reacting. 64. What do we learn about culture shock?

【1】What do we learn about culture shock?

A. It has negative effect on people.

B. Its effect can differ from person to person.

C. It disappears when people return to their homelands.

D. It can be avoided if one can understand the language.

【2】Which stage of culture shock is Tommy in?

Tommy moved to France with his parents two months ago.

But now he still can not get used to the life there.

He also has problems in schooling.

Even worse, he doesn't think anybody cares about him.

A. Stage 2.   B. Stage 3.

C. Stage 4.   D. Stage 5.

【3】The main purpose of the passage is to________

A. discuss and clarify   B. argue and advise

C. introduce and explain   D. compare and evaluate

22、Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making it possible for companies to monitor workers’ behavior in great detail and in real time. Start to slack off (懈怠), and AI could talk to your boss.

One company offering such services is London-based start-up Status Today. Its AI platform relies on a regular supply of employee data, including everything from the files you access to when you use a key card. From this, it builds a picture of how employees normally function and signals any unusual performance. The idea is to spot when someone might become a security risk by doing something different from their usual behavioral patterns. “All of this gives us fingerprint of a user, so if we think the fingerprint doesn’t match, we raise a warning”, says Mircea Dumitrescu, the company’s chief technology officer.

The system also aims to catch employee actions that could accidentally cause a security breach (漏洞), like opening malware (恶意软件).“We’re not monitoring if your computer has a virus.” says Dumitrescu. “We’re monitoring human behaviors.”

But catching the security breach means monitoring everyone, and the AI can also be used to track employee productivity. “It seems like they are just using the reputation of AI to give an air of lawfulness to old-fashioned workplace surveillance (监视),” says Javier Ruiz Diaz of digital campaigning organization the Open Rights Group. “You have a right to privacy and you shouldn’t be expected to give that up at work.”

Exactly how companies use the system will be up to them, but it’s hard to shake the picture of an AI constantly looking over employees’ shoulders. “It will bother people, and that could be counterproductive if it affects their behavior,” says Paul Bemal at the University of East Anglia.

Phil Legg at the University of the West of England says it will never catch every security risk. “If people know they’re being monitored, they can change their behavior,” he says.

【1】According to the text, AI monitors employees by ________.

A．taking pictures of them

B．getting access to their data

C．signaling their usual performance

D．catching their actions

【2】What’s Javier Ruiz Diaz’s attitude towards the system?

A．Doubtful.

B．Supportive.

C．Uncaring.

D．Negative.

【3】What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 4 refer to?

A．Security breach.

B．Employees’ productivity.

C．The right to privacy.

D．Workplace surveillance.

【4】Phil Legg’s concern about the system suggests that ________.

A．it is too risky to be used at work

B．it will affect employees’ emotions

C．it may not be so effective as expected

D．it will encourage employee, productivity

23、Throughout our lives, we have been told to take care of our physical health. But what is often ignored is mental health. That’s why World Mental Health Day was created. 【1】.

●When is World Mental Health Day?

World Mental Health Day is on October 10th. Though there is one specific date for it, it is often times celebrated and observed over the course of a week. 【2】, it allows more people to know about the importance of mental health and it educates the public about the “why”, “how”, and “what” of mental health.

●What is the history of World Mental Health Day?

【3】. When it first started, the day had no theme, but instead was an excuse for medical workers to educate the public on what was not always openly discussed — what mental health is and the issues that surround it. Mental health affects everything from our emotional state to our physical state, and everything in between. In the first few years, organizers usually hosted a global live broadcast, leading to live telephone participation from all over the world.

●【4】?

You can volunteer in or donate some money to mental health services to improve the livelihoods of people struggling with mental illnesses. Besides, too often we are too busy to slow down and take a breath. If you take a mental health day, you are giving yourself the space to grow and take care of your mental health. Lastly, you should check on your friends. Go for a walk with them or have an extended phone conversation if you are far away. 【5】.

A．Why mental health is so important

B．How to observe World Mental Health Day

C．By celebrating it in a week instead of a day

D．If we value the importance of mental health

E．The first World Mental Health Day began in 1992

F．In this article, let’s explore World Mental Health Day

G．You might be surprised at how much you can help them relax

24、Every Wednesday, I go to Cantata Adult Life Services, a local retirement community in Brookfield, Illinois, US, with my classmates to do community service.

After my very first visit to Cantata, my life changed forever. That may sound a bit dramatic, but volunteering with the elderly has changed my views on life.

Our visits last about an hour, and we bring 25-30 students every time. We play board games and cards with the residents while we’re there.

You can watch all the movies and TV shows you want about “life back then”, but nothing compares to talking to the people who were actually there. Just hearing their stories has touched me in a way I never thought possible.

Whether it was talking to 98-year-old “Hurricane Hilda” about her glory days as a roller skater or chatting with Lou about the times she danced with a famous actor, I was completely attracted by every single memory the residents wanted to share with me.

Even the residents who don’t have amazing memories make the experience satisfying . I remember visiting Mrs Robinson. She couldn’t recall much about her past, but she told me she’d never forget how kind I wasjust to listen to her “rambling (漫谈)”. It made me realize that it’s the little things that make life worth living. That’s something I won’t forget anytime soon.

If there’s one thing I’ve realized in my three years of visiting Cantata, it’s that presence –just being there –means more than anything to many of the residents. And despite how busy our lives are, there’s always time to make someone’s day.

For me, it feels great to be a source of happiness, a smile on a bad day or a listening ear for old memories. And at the end of the day, that’s all that matters.It’s easy to feel like you don’t have anything in common with the elderly –especially when you’re a teenager. But that’s not true at all.

I hate to be overly clichéd (陈词滥调的) here, but age really is just a number. As young adults, it’s important for us to realize this sooner rather than later. We can learn a lot from the elderly, and they can often benefit from teenagers too.

【1】What do the volunteers do according to the passage?

A. They share everything with the residents.

B. They play board games and cards with the residents.

C. They watch the residents play games.

D. They buy gifts for the residents.

【2】According to the writer, what is the most important thing that volunteers can do for the elderly?

A. Playing with them.   B. Benefiting from them.

C. Helping them. D. Being there with them.

【3】What does the writer want to tell us by writing this passage ?

A. We don’t have anything in common with the elderly.

B. Age is just a number.

C. It is important to help the elderly.

D. Young adults and the elderly can benefit from each other.
