Pygmalion 李仕才 ‎***阅读理解。‎ Many people would love to leave their jobs behind and have a lifechanging adventure overseas.They imagine lying under palm trees as the sun goes down.However，life overseas is not always easy，and many are not prepared for the shock of living in an alien culture.‎ The honeymoon period At first，for those who actually decide to move abroad，life is an exciting adventure.They enjoy exploring their new surroundings，and life seems like an extended holiday.They don’t mind trying the local cuisine and discovering the local culture.They can even afford to practise their foreignlanguage skills without fear of making mistakes.‎ Trouble in paradise In many cases，when people consider moving to another country，they often fail to realize how different life will be.As time goes by，they become frustrated when language and cultural misunderstandings become a daily headache.In this stage，the visitors begin to withdraw from life in the host country and avoid spending time with local people in favour of mixing with others from their own cultural background.‎ The road to recovery Gradually，most visitors realize they must accept the differences and not fight against them.This change encourages them to improve their language skills and slowly they manage to do the things they could easily do at home，such as opening a bank account.This newfound confidence enables them to see a side of life which very few tourists get to witness.‎ Adjusting to life abroad can often be a real problem.The secret to overcome it is to stop trying to change your host country. If not，you risk losing your dream and having to return to the old life you wanted to leave behind.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。许多人因为喜欢冒险和探索，所以移居国外生活，但文化的差异和语言的不同又使得他们很沮丧，‎ 因此作者建议移居国外的人最好能够学好当地语言以适应当地生活。‎ ‎1．Why do people moving abroad feel excited at first?‎ A．They find foreign living much easier.‎ B．They have the necessary language skills.‎ C．They love the adventure and exploration.‎ D．They enjoy meeting people from different cultures.‎ C　解析：细节理解题。该题问的是移居海外的人最初感到兴奋的原因。根据The honeymoon period部分第一、二句可知，因为他们喜欢冒险和探索，所以会感到兴奋。故选C。‎ ‎2．According to the author，what is the main problem many people moving abroad face?‎ A．Homesickness.　　　 B．Culture shock.‎ C．Health problems.

‎1．________2.________3.________4.________5.________ 　6.________7.________8.________9.________10.________ ‎ 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国的传统文化艺术之一——年画的用途、起源和分类。‎ ‎1．known　考查非谓语动词。分句间无连词且已有谓语动词are，故此处应用非谓语动词。be known as “作为……而知名”，故填known，为过去分词在句中作状语。‎ ‎2．a　考查冠词。年画是中国民间文化中的一种独特的艺术形式。此处表示泛指，故填不定冠词，且unique的发音不是以元音音素开头的，故用a。‎ ‎3．mostly 考查词性转换。因为它们通常都在春节期间被张贴，作为装饰画。修饰谓语动词用副词。mostly “通常，多半，大部 分”。‎ ‎4．for 考查介词。此处表示目的，故用介词for。‎ ‎5．appeared 考查动词的时态。年画大约起源于唐代，表示过去发生的动作，故使用一般过去时。‎ ‎6．featuring 考查非谓语动词。此处表述代替先前的以神为特色的门画。分析句子结构可知，空处作定语修饰door pictures。door ‎ pictures与feature之间存在逻辑上的主谓关系，故填动词的－ing形式作定语，feature在此是动词，意为“以……为特色”。‎ ‎7．diverse 考查词性转换。本句为系表结构，作表语应用形容词。diverse “多种多样的”。‎ ‎8．when 考查定语从句的引导词。年画在明清时期走向成熟，达到鼎盛。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，且从句中缺少时间状语，故填when。‎ ‎9．methods 考查名词的数。从后文可知，年画的制作工艺有很多种，故填method的复数形式。‎ ‎10．are 考查动词时态和主谓一致。木版年画最为盛行，也最有趣。由主语paintings可知，谓语动词应使用复数。且此处是对客观情况的陈述，应用一般现在时。‎ ‎***完形填空。‎ I always had a dream.In it，I was a little girl again，rushing about，trying ‎ to get __1__ for school.Deep inside I knew __2__ it came from.It was some unfinished __3__ in my life.‎ As a kid I loved school.Most of all I __4__ to receive my
