【語篇解讀】作者在文中講述了自己在兩種不同文化中的生活狀況。

1.答案與解析：D考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Sharingmycultureand...isvery

importanttome."并結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知，分享自己國家的文化對作者來說很重要。

2.答案與解析：B考查詞義猜測。上文講述了生活在兩種文化中的好處，結(jié)合下文

所談?wù)摰淖髡哂龅降膯栴}可推知此處指存在很多問題，故選B。setback”挫折；阻礙”。

3.答案與解析：A考查主旨大意。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容尤其是文章首段和尾段的內(nèi)容可知,

作者主要談?wù)摿似湓趦煞N文化中的生活狀況。故選A。

B

【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。主要介紹了當(dāng)人們搬到一個新的國家時，哪些因

素會引起文化沖擊，人們又應(yīng)該怎樣適應(yīng)新的環(huán)境。

4.答案與解析：A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Specialists（專家）sayitisnoteasy

togetusedtolifeinanewculture.w以及下文對文化沖擊的陳述可知,當(dāng)人們搬到一個新的

國家時，他們將會很難適應(yīng)他們的新環(huán)境，故選A項(xiàng)。

5.答案與解析：D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段中的"Theweathermaybe

unpleasant.Thecustomsmaybedifferent.Thepublicservicesystems-thetelephones,postoffice,

ortransportation-maybedifficulttoworkout.Thesimplestthingsseemtobethebiggestproblems.

Thelanguagemaybedifficult."可知，語言交流、天氣條件和習(xí)俗、公共服務(wù)設(shè)施全會引起

文化沖擊，故選D項(xiàng)。

6.答案與解析：B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Veryoftenthepeoplehavingthe

worstcultureshockarethosewhoneverhadanydifficultiesintheirowncountry.Comingtoanew

country,thesepeoplefindtheydonothavethesamepositionsastheyhavebackhome.Theyfind

themselveswithoutanyidentify.Theyhavetobuildanewself-image.可知，最能感受到文化

沖擊的人是在自己國家中最成功的人，因?yàn)樗麄円磺卸家獜念^開始，所以你在國內(nèi)越成功,

在國外就越困難，故選B項(xiàng)。

7.答案與解析：C推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的"Gettingtoknowthenew

environmentandgainingexperience—thesearethelong-termsolutionstotheproblemofculture

shock.”可知，熟悉新環(huán)境是解決文化沖擊最好的辦法，故選C項(xiàng)。

C

【語篇解讀】雖然親朋好友的建議都是出于對我們的關(guān)愛，但我們應(yīng)當(dāng)根據(jù)自己的

情況做自己的決定，而不是輕易改變自己的主意。

8.答案與解析：B詞義猜測題。在第二段中，畫線詞所在句之前分析了親朋好友對

我們提出建議的不同初衷。該空所在句緊承上文，指出不管什么情況，我們應(yīng)該感激他們

的建議，但是“最終”我們必須按照我們自己的計(jì)劃來。

9.答案與解析：C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第二、三句可推知，當(dāng)朋友提出專橫的

建議時，我們可能感覺受到了傷害，并且對自己感到懷疑。

10.答案與解析：D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段第一句可知，當(dāng)我們不接受朋友的

建議時，我們應(yīng)當(dāng)向他們表達(dá)謝意，并且解釋清楚：我們需要做自己的決定。

11.答案與解析：A標(biāo)題歸納題。綜合分析文中作者的態(tài)度可知，對于親友給出的

建議，我們應(yīng)當(dāng)感激并珍惜，但有時我們應(yīng)當(dāng)委婉地告訴他們不能采納他們的建議。最中

心的態(tài)度是感激。其他三項(xiàng)都太絕對。

II.七選五

【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。作者通過這篇文章向我們介紹了獲得快樂的幾種

方法。

1.答案與解析：C根據(jù)前文"Happinessiswhatweneedmostwiththeincreaseof

pressureinmodernlife.”可知隨著現(xiàn)代生后中壓力的增加，我們需要快樂，然而，有時它似

乎離我們很遠(yuǎn)。故選C。

2.答案與解析：D根據(jù)后文Keepingintouchwithnaturecanhelpyoureducestress,

makeyoumorecreative,improveyourmemoryandmayevenmakeyouabetterperson.可知與自

然保持聯(lián)系可以幫助你減輕壓力，使你更有創(chuàng)造力，提高你的記憶力。即如果你在大自然

中鍛煉會更好。故選D。

3.答案與解析：B根據(jù)后文Relationshipsareworthmorethanyouthink.Notfeeling

sociallyconnectedcanmakeyoustupiderandkillyou.人際關(guān)系比你想象的要更有價值。沒有

社交聯(lián)系會使你變得更笨拙并使你痛苦，因此我們要花時間和朋友家人在一起。故選B。

4.答案與解析：F根據(jù)后文Challengingyourbeliefsstrengthensyourmind.Increasing

willpowerjusttakesalittleefforteachdayandit'smoreresponsibleforyoursuccessthanIQ.可知

挑戰(zhàn)你的信念會增強(qiáng)你的心智。提高意志力只需要每天付出一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)努力，因此此處應(yīng)為學(xué)

習(xí)另一種語言可以使你的頭腦敏銳。故選F。

5.答案與解析：G根據(jù)前文Humorisagoodwaytocauselaughter.可知幽默是一種很

有效的方法，只考慮有趣的時刻或事情會有很大幫助。故選G。

III.語法填空

【語篇解讀】本文是一篇記敘文。主要敘述了作者在西安旅行的一段經(jīng)歷。通過去

西安參加一個培訓(xùn)課程的經(jīng)歷，增加了對中國文化的了解，感嘆文化是不分國界和種族的。

1.答案與解析：ladies考查名詞復(fù)數(shù)。由空前的數(shù)詞two可知，此處用可數(shù)名詞的

復(fù)數(shù)形式。故填ladies。

2.答案與解析：when考查定語從句。句意：終于到了八月初我抵達(dá)咸陽國際機(jī)場

的那一天。分析句子可知，設(shè)空處引導(dǎo)定語從句，theday是先行詞，關(guān)系詞在定語從句中

作時間狀語，由此可知填關(guān)系詞when。

3.答案與解析：felt考查動詞的時態(tài)。句意：我一著陸，就感覺到氣氛發(fā)生了變化。

根據(jù)從句時態(tài)可知，主句也應(yīng)用一般過去時。故填住It。

4.答案與解析：waiting考查固定結(jié)構(gòu)。此處為“see+賓語+賓補(bǔ)”復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)，see

sb.doingsth.為固定搭配，意為“看見某人正在做某事"。故填waiting。

5.答案與解析：from考查介詞。根據(jù)語境可知，此處是指“來自"，from意為“來

自"。故填介詞from。

6.答案與解析：and考查連詞。句意：在西安的20天里，我有機(jī)會近距離觀察中國

文化，并且這給我留下了深刻的印象。分析上下文語境可知，設(shè)空處連接兩個并列分句。

故填ando

7.答案與解析：badly考查副詞。句意：……我一直非常想念西安。分析句子可知,

本空在句中作狀語，bad為形容詞。故填badly。

8.答案與解析：a考查不定冠詞。句意：我在西安逗留的20天是一個很好的經(jīng)歷。

experience作“經(jīng)歷”講時，是可數(shù)名詞，此處是指一次經(jīng)歷，表泛指。故填a。

9.答案與解析：broaden考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。句意：這是一個學(xué)習(xí)的機(jī)會，也是一個拓

寬我對多元化理解的機(jī)會。achancetodo…意為"做……的機(jī)會”，to后接動詞原形。故填

broadeno

10.答案與解析：aretied考查動詞的時態(tài)和語態(tài)。allhumanbeings與tie之間為被動

關(guān)系，要用被動語態(tài)。根據(jù)第二個從句的時態(tài)可知要用一般現(xiàn)在時，故填aretied。
