核心素养测评一 Module 1 My First Day at Senior High
Ⅰ. 阅读理解
A
I was lucky enough to have a chance to study in the United States as an international student from Ukraine when I was fourteen years old. I went to a wonderful school,West Catholic High School,for my freshman year.
I remember my first day at that school as if it were yesterday. I was very nervous,and I could feel my heart beat on the tips of my toes. My main fear was that I would not be able to express myself due to the language barrier. I was trying to have as little communication as I possibly could. And I almost succeeded,until we had to introduce ourselves in front of the class.
And the moment the word “international” flew out of my mouth,I was surrounded by thirty people who were asking questions one after another. I remember some of the questions were “Where is Ukraine?Is it a kingdom? ” “Do you have McDonald’s?Does it taste the same? ” and “Say something in your language”. It turned out to be the opposite of less communication,but it was so much fun.
During the first three months,I certainly experienced a bit of cultural shock. I think Americans are the nicest people I have ever met in my entire life. They always smile and say,“Hi,how are you? ”
One day,I noticed the students looking at me suspiciously. Finally,my classmate came up to my locker and whispered,“Is that true that you are a princess and that you came to study here so that nobody would recognize you? ” At one point,I even had an image of myself wearing a gown (长袍) and waving at the crowd. What?People do have a wild imagination!
During my study abroad,I saw a totally new world,experienced great culture,met a lot of incredible people and improved my language. This trip inspired me to learn foreign languages. That is one of the reasons why I speak five different languages today.

背景链接 cultural shock 文化休克, 又叫文化震荡症。它是1958年美国人类学家奥博格(Kalvero Oberg)提出来的一个概念, 是指一个人进入到不熟悉的文化环境时, 因失去自己熟悉的所有社会交流的符号与手段而产生的一种迷失、疑惑、排斥甚至恐惧的感觉。“休克”本来是指人体重要功能的丧失, 如身体失血过多, 呼吸循环功能衰竭等。但是, 当一个长期生活于自己母国文化的人突然来到另一种完全相异的新的文化环境中时, 其在一段时间内常常会出现这种文化休克的现象。

There are many programs for high school students today that help lonely teenagers deal with loneliness. However,loneliness is not only a problem for teens but also an important and rarely acknowledged one in the elderly.
In Britain,Tracey Crouch was appointed to be the first Minister of Loneliness in order to address the problems caused by loneliness. This is the first time such a position has been created.
In Britain,there are around 9 million people who say they are lonely frequently. In Germany,a study conducted by Ruhr University Bochum found that 20 percent of people over the age of 85 felt lonely,and 14 percent of those between age 45 and 65 felt socially lonely. In the United States,more than 25 percent of the population lives alone,more than 50 percent are unmarried.
Loneliness is generally associated with heart disease,overweight,and anxiety. Additionally,the stress from loneliness can cause your cells to change on a molecular(分子)level that reduces its abilities to defend your body against diseases. In fact,doctors believe having feelings of loneliness is equivalent to smoking 15

cigarettes per day in regard to its effect on health!
In Britain,the new Minister of Loneliness will help introduce government policies on the problem and fund a charity—an organization for helping people in need,to devote their efforts towards aiding loneliness. There are charities that link lonely seniors to high school students in order to give them a line of communication whenever they feel lonely!
The possibilities for the new Minister of Loneliness are endless. For example,she can provide education services to household businesses so that they can identify lonely customers if they see one. Loneliness fits into the category of being a social problem that must be monitored by the entire community in order to help those in need. Therefore,government involvement(介入) in medical services and care for seniors and others is vital for happy seniors.

答案:

9
其前不能有冠词。
2. 【解析】第二句short→shorter。考查形容词比较级。本句中有than, 是比较级的标志, 因此short应改为shorter。句意: 上学的时间要比中国短将近5. 5个小时。
3. 【解析】第三句在focus后面加上on/upon。考查介词。focus on/upon集中; 聚焦, 是固定短语。句意: 那里的学生很友好而且专注于他们的学习。
4. 【解析】第四句his→their。考查代词。前面谈到那儿的学生很友好, 本句是说“在他们的帮助下, 我很快适应了那儿的生活”。
5. 【解析】第四句make→made。考查时态。本句第一部分用的是现在完成时, 根据句意, 本部分也应使用现在完成时, 将make改为made, 其前省略have。
6. 【解析】第五句luckily→lucky。考查副词及形容词。根据句意, 本句的feel作系动词用, 其后面要跟形容词作表语。表示“我感到幸运”。
7. 【解析】第五句that→where。考查定语从句引导词。根据句意, “我”从课堂讨论中了解了很多当地文化, 因此将that改为where, 相当于from which。
8. 【解析】第七句skill→skills。考查名词的单复数。该词前面有many修饰, 根据句意, 应使用复数形式。
9. 【解析】第八句amazed→amazing。考查形容词-ed和-ing用法。amazed指“感到惊奇的”; amazing指“令人惊奇的”。这里表达的是“我的经历是惊奇的”。
10. 【解析】第八句or→and。考查连词。根据句意, 本句的“. . . my wonderful host family,my friends or the teachers. ”属于并列关系, 不存在选择关系。
