【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
I was born in Thailand, where I feel at home. I am used to jumping on to a song taow (red taxi), and squeezing (擠過) in between two strangers. I am used to bargaining at the market to get a shirt that I like. I love telling bilingual (雙語的) jokes and I am used to the surprised looks I get from the Thais when I can speak their language fluently.
Every two years my family goes to America for the summer, and every two years my world is turned upside down. The prices of everything are three times what they were in Thailand, but there is the sweet drink Dr. Pepper! And Bluebell Ice-cream! And everything you could imagine! I am amazed at it all, but the biggest change for me is the people. There are white people everywhere. I am not tall but average (中等的), my yellow hair is no longer out of place, and speaking English no longer draws looks. I should feel comfortable. I'm not out of place anymore, and nobody is looking at me, but I feel like they are. Now I feel out of place and different. I'm not used to giving people handshakes and hugs when I meet them for the first time. I get looks when I have trouble figuring out how much money to pay. I know different music, different places, and different fashion. I can't understand these people who have never left their town or city.
Still, there are quite a few perks about living overseas. I get to meet people from all over the world, and I know how to adjust to (適應(yīng)) different cultures and places. I have been to places most people see only in geography books. Still, being so different makes it hard to know who you are. I'm not Thai, but I am not American either. I am a mix of both cultures, a third culture kid.
（1）When the Thais give the author surprised looks, she feels _____.
A.upset
B.strange
C.normal
D.different
（2）When the author returns to America, _____.
A.she makes more friends
B.she becomes more polite
C.she can't find what she needs
D.she is like a fish out of water
（3）The underlined word “perks” in the last paragraph can be replaced by _____.
A.reasons
B.problems
C.advantages
D.suggestions
（4）In this text, the author mainly wants to describe _____.
A.her different lifestyles
B.a kind of culture shock
C.a feeling of loneliness
D.her ability to face difficulties

【答案】
（1）C
（2）D
（3）C
（4）B
【解析】本文是一篇記敘文，一個(gè)長(zhǎng)期生活在泰國(guó)的美國(guó)女孩描述了她回到了美國(guó)所經(jīng)歷的文化沖擊。

⑴考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“in Thailand, where I feel at home.和I am used to the surprised looks I get from the Thais...”可知，在泰國(guó)長(zhǎng)大的作者習(xí)慣了這里的一切，泰國(guó)人聽到她說流利的泰語時(shí)所表現(xiàn)出的吃驚反而讓她覺得很正常。故選C。

⑵考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段作者描述她回到美國(guó)后的各種不習(xí)慣可知，回到美國(guó)的她就想離開水的魚一樣不適應(yīng)那里的生活。故選D。

⑶考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)劃線此后所說的“人是來自世界各地的人、知道如何適應(yīng)不同文化、去過別人只在地理課本上見到的地方”等可知，這些都是旅居海外的益處，故此處perks有“好處、優(yōu)勢(shì)”之意，故選C。

⑷考查主旨大意。作者在本文描述了她在泰國(guó)和美國(guó)生活的不同感受，而這種對(duì)不同文化的不適應(yīng)是由“文化沖擊”所帶來的。故選B。

When I spent the summer with my grandmother, she always set me down to the general store with a list. Behind the counter was a lady like no one I'd ever seen.
“Excuse me,” I said. She looked up and said, “I'm Miss Bee.”
“I need to get these.” I said, holding up my list. “So? Go get them. ” Miss Bee pointed to a sign. “There's no one here except you and me and I'm not your servant, so get yourself a basket from that pile.”
I visited Miss Bee twice a week that summer. Sometimes she shortchanged me. Other times she overcharged. Going to the store was like going into battle. All summer long she found ways to trick me. No sooner had I learned how to pronounce “bicarbonate of soda” and memorized its location on the shelves than she made me hunt for it all over again. But by summer's end the shopping trip that had once taken me an hour was done in 15 minutes. The morning I was to return home, I stopped in to get some run.
“All right, little girl,” she said. “What did you learn this summer?” “That you're a meanie!” I replied. Miss Bee just laughed and said, “I know what you think of me. Well, I don't care! My job is to teach every child I meet life lessons. When you get older you'll be glad!” Glad I met Miss Bee? Ha! The idea was absurd.
Until one day my daughter came to me with homework troubles. “It's too hard,” she said. “Could you finish my math problems for me?”
“If I do it for you, how will you ever learn to do it yourself?” I said. Suddenly, I was back at that general store where I had learned the hard way to add up my bill by myself. Had I ever been overcharged since?

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容, 填寫表格。
We are a primary school in England. Our students start arriving at our playground from about 8:45 a.m. Most of the children live nearby, so they walk to school. But some children have to travel to school by car. Each of the children is dressed in a school uniform (校服) and carries the homework and packed lunch in a schoolbag.
School starts at 8:55 a.m. The teacher on duty blows a whistle (哨子) and the children line up in their class groups. They wait quietly for the teacher to send them to their classrooms. When they arrive at their classrooms, the children empty their schoolbags and put their homework in their boxes. After the children take their seats, the teacher reads out each child's name in turn. Upon hearing his / her name, the child replies “yes, Mrs. (the teacher's name)” and the teacher writes down whether the child is in school or not.
And then at 9:10 a.m. the children attend an assembly in our main hall. They sit on the floor in rows with the youngest children at the front and the older children at the back. As the children enter the hall, they listen to music quietly. Each week we have a different musical theme (主題). Besides, the children also listen to stories.
After the assembly, the first lesson of the day begins at 9:30 a.m. Our morning lessons are usually English and Maths. Each of these lessons lasts an hour. Between classes, the children have their morning break from 10:20 a.m. to 10:35 a.m. They eat their snacks (小吃) or play games like football on the playground. At the end of the break, the teacher on duty blows a whistle. The children stand still and wait to be told to line up.
Each day, the children have their lunch break from 12 noon to 1:10 p.m. Most of the children bring their own packed lunches from home. A packed lunch usually consists of sandwiches, fruit, a drink and a packet of crisps. Some children have a school dinner cooked in our school kitchen. While the children are waiting to have lunch or after they have finished eating, they play games on the playground or attend lunch-time clubs. We have teachers on duty, who look after the children during lunch breaks. After the lunch break, the children have afternoon lessons, which continue until 3:15 p.m. when the children go home.

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
The American believe that anybody can become President of the United States. In a recent Hollyhood comedy(喜劇), that is exactly what happens.
Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted man who runs a business that finds people jobs. He leads a typical(典型的) American way of life, except for one thing— he looks exactly like the President, Bill Mitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes him different from the nation's leader is that he is very nice!
The president has started using look-alikes during some public appearance. Dave is offered a chance to “serve his country” by becoming one. However, things go wrong. The President becomes very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever.
Director Ivan Reitman, who made the popular and successful comedies like Twins, Ghostbusters and Legal Eagles, could have gone for easy laughs by making fun of the American government. Instead, Dave is an attractive comedy about an ordinary man in extraordinary situations. Kevin Kline gives a double performance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his First Lady. The love story that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic(經(jīng)典).
The film is 100% American. However, if you've ever felt that anybody could do a better job running the country than the people in power, then you'll enjoy Dave!
（1）What is the purpose of the text?
A.To tell the reader about the American government
B.To discuss the Americans' ideas about the President
C.To make a comparison(對(duì)比) between Dave and other film.
D.To introduce a new film to the reader.
（2）Who plays the role of the President in the film?
A.Sigourney Weaver
B.Kevin Kline
C.Bill Mitchell
D.Ivan Reitman
（3）The underlined word “one” in the 3rd paragraph refers to __________.
A.the President
B.the director
C.an actor
D.a look-alike
（4）Which of the following is best supported by the text?
A.The author makes fun of the President.
B.The author thinks highly of the film
C.The author is a fan of Hollywood comedies.
D.The author wishes to become the American President.
