(1 point each ) Experiencing Culture Shock A When Eliza James arrived at the University of Xian, she was excited to live in a new country, to improve her Chinese, and to experience a culture s

4、o different from her own. But soon her excitement turned to frustration as she encountered one roadblock after another. “I felt like I couldnt accomplish anything. My dorm room had no heat, I couldnt get into the classes I wanted, and every time I asked someone for help they gave me the runaround. I

5、 felt like no one was listening to me.“ Eliza met with administrators, sent letters of complaint, and even contacted the consulate in Beijing, but she got nowhere. What Eliza didnt realize was that her American approach to solving problems was very different from the Chinese one in which patience an

6、d negotiation skills are key. She soon learned how to solve problems within the cultural norms of Chinese society instead of forcing her own values onto those around her. “I finally feel like I fit in and that I know what Im doing. In fact, its really fun being in a place thats so incredibly differe

7、nt from what I am accustomed to.“ B Yoshi Yamamoto is a junior at a small college outside of Boston. Although he is an honors student now, Yoshi didnt always have such an easy time studying in America. “Teaching methods are very different here than they are in Japan. It took me a long time to get us

8、ed to learning in seminars and discussing ideas with my classmates. At first it seemed like I wasnt actually learning anything.“ Yoshis reaction was to totally withdraw: he didnt participate in class discussion; he spent lots of time alone in his room, and he even skipped class on occasion. “I thoug

9、ht I could teach myself. Now I recognize the value of the U.S. academic system, and I am able to adapt it to my own learning style.“ C Both Eliza and Yoshi experienced what is called culture shock: psychological disorientation due to living in a new culture. For many international students, studying

10、 abroad can offer exposure to new cultures and an opportunity to study new fields and languages. However, it also offers the greater challenge of trying to function in a foreign culture. Studying and reading about a certain culture is poor preparation for the reality of living in it. According to ps

11、ychological studies, the four stages of culture shock are 1. euphoria, 2. hostility, 3. gradual adjustment, and 4. adaptation. Culture shock can be manifested in many ways: homesickness, boredom, stereotyping of or hostility towards the host culture, overeating or overdrinking, withdrawal, and inabi

12、lity to work effectively. D Different people experience different levels of culture shock and react in different ways. For example, Eliza got angry while Yoshi withdrew from society. The most important thing to remember is that culture shock is normal; it is not something to be ashamed of. Luckily,

13、there are some things international students can do to make their adjustment to a new country go more smoothly. For instance, they can stay in touch with family and friends from home, join international student organizations, meet people from their own countries, and get involved in campus activitie

14、s. Most importantly, they can adjust to life abroad by keeping a sense of humor and trying to remain positive.

20、h visited a doctor who diagnosed him with SAD. B Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, is a kind of depression that occurs seasonally. It is associated with the long hours of darkness and lack of sunlight during the winter months (people with SAD usually feel worse from December through February). Sc

These celebrations involve lighting candles in order to bring light, warmth, and happiness to an otherwise dep

24、ressing time of year. D So what can SAD sufferers do to feel better? Naturally, they need more light. For people who have mild cases of SAD, exercising in the morning sun could be enough to help them. Phototherapy, or light therapy, is usually prescribed for people who have more serious cases of the

25、 disorder. In light therapy, patients sit in front of a light box, a strong artificial light, for up to four hours a day. Phototherapy is effective in over 80% of SAD cases, and patients usually see results within three to four days. Although the symptoms of SAD are similar to those of clinical depr

26、ession, traditional antidepressants have not proven useful in treating SAD.

48、A, B, C, or D. (1 point each) These days, its getting easier and easier to find your way around. Some people have GPS devices in their cars to make sure they dont get lost. GPS stands for Global Positioning System. These devices use satellites in space to “see” where you are and give you directions

49、to where you want to go. And if you dont have a GPS device, you can simply go online to get step-by-step directions. Websites like MapQ and can produce a map and directions in just a few seconds. But how do they do it? MapQuest uses data (information) from a few different sources to produce directi

50、ons and maps. Before MapQuest went online, it sold regular paper maps in places like gas stations.

At the moment, MapQuest uses more than 30 computers to read all this data and prov

51、ides users with millions of maps every day. In order to find the best route (way or path) from one place to another, MapQuest first has to look at all possible routes. Then MapQuest looks at each part of each possible route. It considers the types of roads on the different routes. Are they dirt road

52、s, paved roads, freeways, or city streets? It looks at how many turns there are in each route and what kinds of turns they are. Are they right turns or left turns? It also considers the speed limit on each road and how many intersections there are. An intersection is “a place where two or more roads

53、 cross each other”. MapQuest can also tell you how long your trip will take you. It does this by doing some math. MapQuest bases its estimated driving times on the length and speed limit of each part of the route and the amount of time it probably takes to get through each intersection. For example,

54、 it allows more time for a left turn at an intersection than it does for a right turn. Someday, maybe we will have cars that can just drive us wherever we want to go, but for now, mapping websites make it a little harder to get lost. 题目2 6.What is the main idea of this article? 选择一项：A.
