24、We may know that there are four basic stages (阶段) that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new culture. This process is the way our brain and our personality react to(对……做出反应) the strange new things we meet with when we move from one culture to another.
Culture begins with the “honeymoon (蜜月) stage”. This is the time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture is strange and exciting. This stage can last for quite a long time because we feel we are very excited.
Unluckily, the second stage can be more difficult. After we have got used to our new life, we can become very tired and begin to miss our homeland and our family, friends, pets.
The third stage is called the “adjustment(调整) stage”. This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture. You realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place.
The fourth stage can be called “at ease at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new place. You can deal with most problems that you have.
There is a fifth stage of culture shock which many people don’t know about. This is called “reverse(逆向) culture shock(冲击)” . When you go back to your own culture, you find you have changed and things there have changed. Now you feel a little uncomfortable back home.
【1】Culture shock usually happens when you ______.
A. are married B. move to a big city
C. go to live in a foreign culture D. meet foreign people in your country
【2】How do you feel during the first stage of culture shock?
A. Lonely and sad. B. Bored and homesick.
C. Angry and impatient. D. Happy and excited.
【3】How could the third stage be described?
A. Adjustment. B. Pulling away. C. Shock. D. Anger
【4】Where can you probably find this passage?
A. In a novel. B. In a magazine. C. In a picture. D. In an ad.
【5】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Man would pass through four basic stages when living in a new culture.
B. Entering and living in a new culture is challenging.
C. It is much fun to live in a new culture.
D. Life in a new culture is a struggle.
25、
It's a common belief that over time, pet owners start to look like their animals. Now comes the terrifying news that cats look up to their owners as role models and copy their behaviour.
Next time you reach for your fridge, think twice. If your cat is watching, she will probably overeat as well.
In a new study from the University of Messina, it turns out that indoor cats who live closely to their owners “mirror” the lives of their caregivers. They sleep at the same time, eat at the same time, and can even become more or less social depending on the behaviour of their owners.
“Cats are clever animals with a long memory,” Jane Brunt, director of the Catalyst Council, told Discovery News. “They watch and learn from us, noting the patterns of our actions, knowing where their food is kept and what time to expect to be fed, how to open the cupboard door that's been improperly closed, and where their feeding and toileting areas are.” Because cats copy our habits, if you spend a lot of time raiding(搜刮)the fridge, your cat will return to its food bowl for that midnight snack, too. According to the study, this explains why “human and cat overweight rates often seem to match”.
There's no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go to yoga will benefit (使受益) your cat, but based on the study, it sounds like sticking to a healthy eating and sleeping habit is best for both of you.
There's a lot we can learn from our cats in return. “When they sit softly breathing , eyes half closed, the sense of peace and calm that comes over us is like a private less on in inner meditation(冥想),”Brunt said. They're probably pretty good at remaining calm.
So, according to science, though we think that cats are not close to us all these years, it turns out they are in fact learning from us and looking up to us. Scary, huh?
【1】 What does the word “terrifying” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. 可怕的 B. 高兴的 C. 伤心的 D. 无聊的
【2】According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?
A. Cats can copy humans' behaviours.
B. Cats are smart and have a long memory.
C. Green tea and yoga can benefit cats.
D. Humans can learn from cats in some way.
【3】 What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Humans' keeping searching the fridge.
B. Humans' drinking green tea and going to yoga
C. Cats' copying humans' habit of looking for food.
D. Cats' going to their owners for food.
【4】What can we learn from our cats?
A. To remain peaceful. B. To be able to copy.
C. To stay hungry. D. To look up to friends.
【5】 The best title for the passage could be “________”.
A. Your cat can bring you pleasure B. You are copying your cat
C. You can make your cat social D. Your cat is copying your habit
26、 We often reach a point in our life when we should be ready for change that will help us unlock our self-improvement power. However, there’s always something staring at us right under our nose but we don’t see it. The only time we think of unlocking our self-improvement power is when everything gets worst.
When do we realize that we need to change diets? When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth have fallen off. When do we realize that we need to stop smoking? When our lungs have gone bad. We see the warning signs and signals when things get rough and difficult.
The only time most of us ever learn about unlocking our self-improvement power is when the whole world is falling apart. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change, but change becomes more painful when we ignore(忽视) it.
Change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another, we are all going to finally unlock our self-improvement power not because the world says so, but because we realize it’s for our own good.
Happy people don’t just accept change; they embrace (拥抱) it. Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change.
Jane always tells everyone that she doesn’t have the courage to be around groups of people. She heard her family tell the same things about her to other people. Over the years, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd come, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it!
Self-improvement may not be everybody’s favorite word, but if we look at things in a different way, we might have greater chances of enjoying the whole process instead of counting the days until we are fully improved. Three sessions in a week at the gym would result in a healthier life. Reading books every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking our self-improvement power will we realize that we’re beginning to take things light and become happy.
【1】The writer mentions the three questions in Paragraph 2 to show that ________.
A.we learn our lessons when we experience pain
B.we are responsible for the problems we meet
C.life fails us when we get into the wrong way
D.life is a long journey full of ups and downs
【2】What is the key to solving Jane’s problem?
A.She needs to remember why she started.
B.She has to know how to get on with people.
C.She has to realize she is not what she is in her story.
D.She needs to understand the importance of confidence.
【3】The writer probably agrees that ________.
A.the world tells us how to improve ourselves
B.people change when they find it easy to do that
C.welcoming change in life is a drive to become better
D.enjoying the process of self-improvement makes life simpler
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Is it important to take things light?
B.Is it necessary to embrace challenges?
C.To hold on to the last moment or to give up?
D.To free ourselves out of the box or to stay in it?
27、“I’m hungry, ” said Kelly as she and Sheila walked home from school.
“You're always hungry, ” Sheila said, “We'll have something when we get to my house. ”
Kelly looked at Sheila, who was walking quickly down the sidewalk. Sheila had long, beautiful red hair and always wore nice clothes. Kelly had short hair and many of her clothes were hand-me-downs.
No one was home when they got to Sheila’s house. No one ever seemed to be home at Sheila’s house. Kelly had two sisters and a brother. “ It must be amazing to have the whole house to yourself. I’m lucky if I can be alone for five minutes, ” said Kelly.
“Well, I can do whatever I want. Do you want to order a pizza? There’s nothing in the fridge.” There was never anything in Sheila’s fridge.
“That’s okay, ” said Kelly. “ I have to go home for dinner soon. ”
“But I would go crazy if people were telling me what to do all the time.”
“Well, you’re lucky,” said Kelly. Sheila was lucky. She had perfect hair, perfect clothes, a perfect house. “ I would give anything to be Sheila for just one day,” thought Kelly.
The phone rang. “ Hi, Mom, ” Kelly heard Sheila say. “No, it’s okay. I understand.” She hung up. “My mom’s having dinner out again,” she said. “Are you sure you can’t stay for pizza?”
“Sorry. I have to go or I’ll be late for dinner,” said Kelly.

28、根据下面短文内容,在短文的空格中填上一个恰当的词,使短文完整,通顺。
Have you noticed that the phrase “You’re welcome” has largely been taken place by two new words — “No problem.”?
Here is an example:
Shop assistant, “Here’s your change, Madam.” Me, “Thank you.” Shop assistant, “No problem.”
But to me, “No problem” is a 【1】. I want to be thanked for going to a shop. I don’t want this automatic (机械的) reply. “You are welcome” means “You are welcome to shop here; thanks for 【2】 us to help you.” When I hear “no problem”, what I think is: “You’re not helping me. I’ll go somewhere else next time.”
There are some 【3】 annoying phrases, of course. But this one especially seems to just push people to one side. It seems to say, “I’ve taken care of you, so now leave me alone.” It seems that 【4】 the shop assistant wants to say is that you are actually not “welcome”.
It’s part of a whole, lazy culture. People don’t notice each other. People can’t be bothered (打搅). People sit 【5】 in cafes, but they don’t talk. They just look at their mobile phones. If you ask one of these people to move their chair a little 【6】 you can sit down, they reply, “No problem.” I don’t feel that means “You’re welcome to 【7】 the table.” I feel it means “No problem that you only bothered me a bit.”
Lots of people think this phrase is mainly used by younger people, just 【8】 another word “whatever”. But actually, “no problem” crosses generations (一代人). It’s taken hold in a way that fits no single group of people. There is “no problem” wherever you go. Next time you’re about to say those two words, stop for a minute. Make eye contact, and say with a smile: “You’re welcome.”
Be a bit more polite? No problem.
