Everyone who has lived or worked oversea...

    Everyone who has lived or worked overseas understands that travel is an enriching and life-changing experience, 1. That frustration often stems from culture shock, but being able to identify the symptoms can help you ease the discomfort and anxiety of living in a new place. There are four main stages of culture shock while studying abroad that occur at different times for each person.

The Honeymoon Stage. This is when everything is new and fascinating about your host country. It’s at this stage that you may fall in love with Italian pizza or the Irish accent. 2. You’re fascinated by similarities and differences between the host country and your home.

The Crisis (危机) Stage. This is when the differences between your home culture and the host country become apparent and feelings of frustration (沮丧)or anxiety occurs. You really want a jelly sandwich to remind you of home, but you realize your host country doesn’t have it anywhere. They don’t know your sense of humor. 3.

4. At this stage, you become familiar with your surroundings and develop a routine. The same concerns will occur, but you will be better equipped to handle them. You have more friends, increased social skills and you’ve even become an explorer of the culture. You’ve regained your confidence, become more independent, competent and culturally sensitive. The Mastery Stage. Congratulations! You’ve adjusted to the host culture. You’ve taken an inward and outward journey that has led to immeasurable personal growth. You’re now able to live and work to your maximum potential.

5. You can confidently speak and understand most colloquial English. You’ve developed meaningful friendships. You’ve settled. You belong.

A. The Depression Stage

B. The Adjustment Stage

C. Nobody knows the real you

D. but it can also be frustrating

E. but it may be costly to live in a new culture

F. You’re no longer distressed by cultural differences

G. You’re thrilled by new sights, sounds, smells and events

 

1.D 2.G 3.C 4.B 5.F 【解析】 本文是一篇说明文。每一个在海外生活或工作过的人都知道,旅行是一种丰富多彩、改变人生的经历,但也可能令人沮丧。文章介绍了出国留学带来的文化冲击的四个主要阶段。 1.根据句子结构Everyone who has lived or worked overseas understands that travel is an enriching and life-changing experience, ____1____可知应在D/E中选择。根据下文的That frustration often stems from culture shock,“这种挫折感往往源于文化冲击,”由此推知,D项 but it can also be frustrating(但这也可能令人沮丧)切题。该项中的frustrating和下文中的frustration属同根词。故选D。 2.上文提示“在这个阶段,你可能会爱上意大利披萨或爱尔兰口音。”承接上文,G项You’re thrilled by new sights, sounds, smells and events(你对新的景象、声音、气味和事件感到兴奋)切题。故选G。 3.上文提示“他们不懂你的幽默感。”承接上文,C项Nobody knows the real you(没有人知道真正的你。)切题。故选C。 4.此空位于段首,属于小标题。根据下文提示“在这个阶段,你会熟悉周围的环境,并养成一种习惯。”承接下文,B,项The Adjustment Stage(调整阶段)切题。且该项与前后段的首句相吻合。故选B。 5.下文提示“你可以自信地说并理解大多数口语。”承接下文,F项You’re no longer distressed by cultural differences(你不再为文化差异而苦恼)切题。故选F。

    Three-quarters of the world’s coffee farms destroy forest habitat to grow coffee in the sun and typically use harmful pesticides (杀虫剂) and chemicals that poison the environment. When forests disappear, migratory (迁徙的) songbirds disappear, too. In order to deal with severe population and habitat loss, Smithsonian scientists created the Bird Friendly certification.

Bird Friendly coffees are shade-grown, meaning the coffee is planted under trees, rather than on the land that has been cleared of all other plants. Coffee experts say shade-grown coffees taste better, because the beans ripen slower than coffee grown in the full sun, resulting in a richer, more complex flavor. Bird Friendly certified coffees grow under bio-diverse shade that provides habitat for migratory songbirds and other wildlife, stores carbon and fights climate change. Bird Friendly coffees are also certified organic, meaning they are grown without pesticides, which is better for people and for the planet.

Bird Friendly producers can also earn more for their crops. The wood and fruit trees on shade coffee farms provide farmers with additional income. Every cup of Bird Friendly coffee purchased rewards these farmers with a little more money for being good stewards of the environment and encourages them to continue conserving Bird Friendly habitat.

Buying Bird Friendly supports the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center’s conservation research aimed at understanding and protecting your feathered friends. You can purchase Bird Friendly certified coffees around the world and protect wildlife and habitat with every cup. Find a store or cafe near you, or better yet, have it shipped to your door when you order online.

2.What’s a characteristic of Bird Friendly coffees?

A. They may have a better taste. B. They have a strange flavor.

C. They take less time to ripen. D. They are grown on unpolluted land.

3.How can Bird Friendly farmers earn more money?

A. By charging consumers more money.

B. By selling fruits and wood from trees.

C. By cutting down trees and selling wood.

    University of New South Wales has launched its new 12-month Women in Maths & Science Champions Program designed to give women the skills and confidence to build their public recognition and set up a connected network of women in maths and science. The first group of 30 female PhD students started in August this year, and the second group of 19 early- career researchers was formally announced yesterday.

Over the 12 months, the champions complete at least 20 hours of related activities as part of a community of representatives who will influence and inspire women to pursue a career in maths and science. The activities are varied, ranging from visiting schools and conducting science presentations, to attending conferences and creating content for social media. At the end of the program, PhD champions have the chance to apply everything they’ve learned to the Postgraduate Research Competition. Above all, participating is a requirement for program completion.

Rose O’Dea, a member of the first group, is a PhD candidate at the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences. She said, “I’m excited about the opportunity to work with school children. I hope to inspire some girls so they see not all scientists are older men in lab coals and that science is quite diverse and means different things depending on who you are.”

Dr. Mariana Mayer Pinto is an early-career researcher at the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences, where she mainly works with marine (海洋的) ecologists. She is originally from Brazil and said that being a woman from a developing country meant she knew the struggles that lack of role models can create. “You can’t be what you can’t see! I always have the hope that I can change the world bit by bit, and if one little girl says she can become a scientist because I talked to them, that’d be awesome, and that would make everything worth it.”

1.What is the program intended to do?

A. Test female PhD’s learning results.

B. Promote the equality of men and women.

C. Set up an organization for women scientists.

D. Improve women’s participation in math and science.

2.What is required if a participant want to complete the program?

A. To persuade as least one female to take up science.

B. To participate in at least 20 hours of related activities.

C. To apply what they have learnt to their graduation paper.

D. To work as a representative to give presentations.

3.What does Rose O’Dea think about science?

A. Varied. B. Inspiring.

C. Unchangeable. D. Exciting.

4.What’s the purpose of the last paragraph?

A. To share how family background matters.

B. To show the overall results of this program.

C. To add an example of how a participant feels.

D. To tell of role models to encourage female students.

    About 6 years ago, I was on a plane next to a woman. I was tired and wanted to take a nap. But before I could go into “ignore pattern”, she tapped me on the shoulder to introduce herself.

“Hi: my name is Helga!”

We got to talking and eventually it came up that I had started an organization in high school called R.A.K.E.(Random Acts of Kindness, Etc.). As I described what we did, Helga got very serious and told me that she admired me for that. She told me a story about the last time she had flown. She was on the way to Arizona because she had gotten sudden news that her dad’s health was on the decline. Later her father’s physician called to inform her that her dad had rather suddenly passed away. For the 3-hour plane ride, she sat in silence around strangers.

When she arrived at the airport in Arizona, she walked to the nearest wall, sat down, and cried. And here is the part I’ll never forget about Helga’s story. For 2 hours she sat and wept while thousands walked to and fro in the airport. Helga looked al me and said, “Houston, not a single person stopped and asked if I was okay that day.” It was that day that I realized how much we need each other. It was that day I realized that kindness isn’t normal.

Kindness isn’t normal. That has stuck with me all these years especially now. I work in schools nationwide speaking about sympathy, kindness, empathy (同理心) and love. I’m reminded all the time that, for many of us, kindness is not usually our default setting. We spend so much time worrying about our problems, our lives, our insecurities, getting to our flight so we walk by or ignore people in need of help.

So,    I’ve made it my mission to do my part in sharing stories with students, teachers, and parents about our need for character and sympathy. I’m always be on the lookout for the little opportunities that surround me every day to do something nice.

1.What impressed the author most about Helga’s story?

A. Helga’s anxiety over her father’s sudden illness.

B. Helga had no one to talk to on her flight lo Arizona.

C. Helga was ignored by people around her when she cried.

D. Helga couldn’t get over her sadness over her Father’s death.

2.Which can best explain the underlined part “default setting” in paragraph 5?

A. Usual way of doing things. B. Unexpected way to do things.

C. Ignorance to people around. D. Biggest surprise to others.

3.What can we know about the author?

A. He started many clubs in high school. B. He used to be a school teacher.

C. He teaches kids how to behave well. D. He is a promoter of a good cause.

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Comforting People in Need B. Making Kindness Normal

C. Ignoring Unnecessary Troubles D. Practising Kindness on the Plane
