Unit 12 Culture Shock 课时练1　2篇阅读＋1篇完形 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A ‎(2020·洛阳第二次统考)There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think. On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.‎ On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.‎ Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.‎ We should embrace our heritage(传统) through our culture’s food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window into culture, and it should be treated as such.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇议论文，主要探讨了食物和文化之间的联系。‎ ‎1．What’s the function of food mentioned in the text?‎ A．To help motivate homesickness.‎ B．To show national identity.‎ C．To reflect a country’s history.‎ D．To show a community’s superiority.‎ 13‎ B　解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的内容，尤其是第二、三句“On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are.”，再根据第二段的内容，尤其是第二句“It also operates as an expression of culture identity.”可知，文章中提到的食物的作用是显示国家身份。‎ ‎2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A．The specific traditional food.‎ B．The national culture.‎ C．A traditional expression of food.‎ D．The oldfashioned taste.‎ A　解析：代词指代题。通读第二段可知，传统食物是文化的一个重要部分，它显示了文化身份，移民不管去哪儿都带着它，它象征着对自己文化的骄傲，也是处理乡愁的方法。由此可推知，it指代传统食物。‎ ‎3．Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurant?‎ A．To attach cultural importance to their dishes.‎ B．To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.‎ C．To make the dishes popular among customers.‎ D．To present their own food culture in a new way.‎ C　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的内容，尤其是第四、五句“Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers.”可知，移民不仅把菜肴卖给来自相同国家的人，还卖给不同国家的人。为了使菜肴受到顾客的欢迎，一些移民不得不对传统的菜肴做一些小小的改变。‎ ‎4．What’s the author’s attitude towards different food cultures?‎ A．Negative.　　　　　　 B．Balanced.‎ C．Unfair. D．Unchangeable.‎ B　解析：观点态度题。根据最后一段的内容，尤其是第一句“We should embrace our heritage(传统) through our culture’s food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food.”可知，我们应该通过我们文化的食物来接受我们的传统，但也应该通过尝试其他文化的食物来了解更多文化。由此可推知，作者对不同的食物文化持客观公正的态度。‎ B ‎(2020·河南六市高三联考)Traveling to a foreign country can make you frightened if you don’t know the local language. Mr. Thibault has a number of tips to help ‎ 13‎ travelers manage in a destination when they don’t speak the native tongue, based on his own experience. Here are a few of them.‎ ‎•Download a Language Translation App Mr. Thibault tends to rely on Google Translate and suggests that travelers find an app that works for them. Ideally, find one that specializes in the language you need to translate especially if the language uses a character set you’re not familiar with, or have difficulty pronouncing.‎ ‎•Speak with Your Hands and Head Pointing with your hands and nodding or shaking your head, Mr. Thibault said, are easy ways to communicate with locals in the country you’re in. “Gestures are all universally understood，” he said.‎ ‎•Learn a Few Key Words Knowing basic words and phrases like “hello”， “thank you” and “I’m sorry. I don’t speak your language. Do you speak English？” is a must, Mr. Thibault said. Showing that you care enough to learn some of the language before you go, and at least enough to acknowledge that you don’t know more, is a form of respect and will go a long way to be liked by locals.‎ ‎•Work with a Local Travel Agent If you feel particularly uncomfortable in the country you’re headed to, and you have to go anyway, relying on a local travel agent who knows both your and your destination’s languages can be incredibly useful.‎ ‎•Hire a Local Tour Guide A tour guide can help you get a better grasp of the local language and is a good person to practice words and phrases with. Whenever Mr. Thibault visits a new country, he books a sightseeing tour with a guide on the first day of his trip. “I use this day to learn about my destination and get familiar with the language，” he said.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇应用文。文章针对不会说外语的旅行者到国外旅游提出了几条建议，包括下载翻译软件、使用肢体语言、出发前学习关键词、利用当地旅行社的帮助以及雇用当地导游。‎ ‎5．In what situation should a language translation app be applied while traveling abroad?‎ A．When you have trouble pronouncing the words.‎ B．When you want to acknowledge your ignorance.‎ C．When you want to practice the local language.‎ 13‎ D．When you feel uncomfortable in the country.‎ A　解析：细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词“a language translation app”定位至第二段，根据该段第二句“Ideally, find one that specializes in the language you need to translate especially if the language uses a character set you’re not familiar with, or have difficulty pronouncing.”可知，在该语言使用你不熟悉的字符集或者你发音有困难时，你应当下载翻译软件，故A项正确。‎ ‎6．What is the easiest way to communicate with foreigners according to the text?‎ A．Downloading a language translation app.‎ B．Learning a few key words.‎ C．Using body language.‎ D．Working with a guide.‎ C　解析：推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Pointing with your hands and nodding or shaking your head, Mr. Thibault said, are easy ways to communicate with locals in the country you’re in.”可知，使用双手、点头或摇头，是你和当地人交流的简单的方式；据此可推知，使用肢体语言是与当地人交流最简单的方式，故C项正确。‎ ‎7．How can you better understand the local language?‎ A．By speaking with your hands and head.‎ B．By learning a few key words.‎ C．By downloading a language translation app.‎ D．By hiring a local tour guide.‎ D　解析：细节理解题。根据尾段第一句“A tour guide can help you get a better grasp of the local language and is a good person to practice words and phrases with.”可知，导游可以帮助你更好地掌握当地的语言，而且导游是你与其练习单词和短语的最佳人选，故D项正确。‎ Ⅱ.完形填空 ‎(2020·重庆调研)In a remote village, selling chestnuts was the main source of livelihood for local villagers.

Better air quality could lead to a significant extension of lifespans(寿命) around the world.‎ It is the first time that data on air pollution and the lifespan has been studied together in order to check how air pollution affects overall life expectancy.‎ The researchers looked at outdoor air pollution from particulate matter(PM)(颗粒物) smaller than 2.5 microns. These particulates can enter deep into the lungs, and breathing PM 2.5 is associated with the increased risk of heart attacks, strokes and cancer. PM 2.5 pollution comes from power plants, cars and trucks, fires, agriculture and industrial emissions(排放物)．‎ Led by Joshua Apte, the team used data from the Global Burden of Disease Study to measure PM 2.5 air pollution exposure and its consequences in 185 countries. They then quantified the national impact on life expectancy for each individual country as well as on a global scale.‎ ‎“The fact that air pollution is a major global killer is already wellknown，” said Apte. “And we all care about how long we can live. Here, we were able to systematically identify how air pollution shortens lives around the world. What we found is that air pollution has a very large effect on survival—on average about a year globally.”‎ In the context of other significant phenomena negatively affecting human survival rates, Apte said this is a big number. “For example, it’s considerably larger than the benefit in survival we might see if we found cures for both lung and breast cancer combined，” he said. “In countries like India and China, the benefit for elderly people of improving air quality would be especially large. For much of Asia, if air pollution were removed as a risk for death, 60yearolds would have a 15 percent to 20 percent higher chance of living to age 85 or older.”‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，良好的空气质量有益于延长寿命，但是空气污染使得细颗粒物进入人体肺部，导致心脏病、癌症、中风发病率升高，从而影响人的寿命。‎ ‎1．What do we know about PM 2.5?‎ A．It has a bad effect on human health.‎ B．It will be controlled in the future.‎ C．It mainly comes from industrial emissions.‎ D．It spreads to the world from Asian countries.‎ A　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“These particulates can enter deep into ‎ 13‎ the lungs, and breathing PM 2.5 is associated with the increased risk of heart attacks, strokes and cancer.”可知，PM 2.5影响人体健康，故A项正确。‎ ‎2．What did the researchers do to study how air pollution affects the lifespan?‎ A．They collected accurate information from all the Asian countries.‎ B．They employed the research data to calculate the effect.‎ C．They studied the disease and lifespan together time and time again.‎ D．They measured particulate matter much more carefully than before.‎ B　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“It is the first time that data on air pollution and the lifespan has been studied together in order to check how air pollution affects overall life expectancy.”可知，这是首次将空气污染和寿命数据结合起来研究，以查明空气污染如何影响总体预期寿命。故B项正确。‎ ‎3．What can be inferred from the text?‎ A．The key to people living longer is good air quality.‎ B．People think air pollution is the most dangerous killer to them.‎ C．Apte will agree that people should take action to deal with air pollution.‎ D．Factories should decrease the production of cars to stop air pollution.‎ C　解析：推理判断题。根据尾段的内容，尤其是“In countries like India and China, the benefit for elderly people of improving air quality would be especially large.”可知，Apte认为改善空气质量对老年人有好处。据此可推知，他会同意人们采取措施应对空气污染，故C项正确。‎ ‎4．What is the best title for the text?‎ A．The Way Human Beings Enjoy a Longer Lifespan B．The Importance of Getting Rid of Air Pollution C．Asian People Are Suffering from Serious Air Pollution　‎ D．Air Pollution Reduces the Lifespan by More than One Year D　解析：标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章第一段第一句“Air pollution shortens human lives by more than a year, according to a new study from a team of leading environmental engineers and public health researchers.”为全文的主题句，结合全文内容可知，文章通过介绍科学研究，说明空气污染导致人的寿命减少一年以上。故D项最适合作本文的标题。‎ B ‎(2020·南昌重点中学段考)‎ Learning New Vocabulary During Deep Sleep Sleeping time is sometimes considered unproductive time.This raises the ‎ 13‎ question whether the time spent during sleeping could be used more productively, e．g. for learning a new language. Sleep research to date focused on the stabilization and strengthening of memories that had been formed during previous wakefulness. However, learning during sleep has rarely been examined. There is considerable evidence for wakelearned information undergoing revision by a replay in the sleeping brain. The replay during sleep strengthens the still weak memory traces and embeds(嵌入) the newly acquired information in the preexisting store of knowledge.‎ If the replay during sleep improves the storage of wakelearned information, then firstplay, i. e. the initial processing of new information, should also be possible during sleep.‎ The research group of Katharina Henke examined whether a sleeping person is able to form new semantic associations between played foreign words and translation words during the brain cells’ active states, the socalled “Upstates”. It turned out to be that what they thought was reasonable. When we reach deep sleep stages, our brain cells progressively coordinate their activity. During deep sleep, the brain cells are commonly active for a brief period of time before they jointly enter into a state of brief inactivity. The active state is called “Upstate” and the inactive state “Downstate”. The two states alternate(交替) about every halfsecond.‎ New evidence for sleeplearning challenges current theories of sleep and theories of memory. The concept of sleep as an encapsulated(被概括的) mental state, in which we are separated from the physical environment is no longer reasonable. “We could disprove that complex learning be impossible during deep sleep，” says Simon Ruch, cofirstauthor. “In how far and with what consequences deep sleep can be applied to the acquisition of new information will be a topic of research in upcoming years，” says Katharina Henke.‎ The research group of Katharina Henke is part of the Interfaculty Research Cooperation(IRC). Thirteen research groups in medicine, biology, psychology and information science are part of the IRC. The aim of these research groups is to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in sleep, consciousness and cognition.‎ ‎【解题导语】　文章通过一项研究论证了在深度睡眠中学习新词汇的可能性。‎ ‎5．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?‎ A．“Upstate” and“Downstate” appear in turn during deep sleep.‎ 13‎ B．“Upstates” is another name for the brain cells’ active states.‎ C．Semantic associations are important for language learning.‎ D．The brain cells’ active states are central for sleeplearning.‎ D　解析：推理判断题。根据第三段前两句“The research group of Katharina Henke examined...the socalled ‘Upstates’. It turned out to be that what they thought was reasonable”可知，研究小组研究了睡觉的人能否在脑细胞活跃状态下，在被播放的外来词和翻译词之间形成新的语义联系。结果证明他们的想法是合理的。据此可推知，当大脑处于“Upstates”时，可以进行语言学习。在这个过程中，大脑细胞的活跃状态起着主要作用。故选D项。‎ ‎6．What will researchers do within several years according to the passage?‎ A．Make study in the following fields such as medicine and biology.‎ B．Separate us from the physical environment.‎ C．Apply deep sleep to information learning.‎ D．Discover the concept of sleep.‎ C　解析：细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词researchers和within several years定位到文章的第四段。根据该段中的“In how far and with what consequences...will be a topic of research in upcoming years”可知，在未来几年，在新信息的获得方面深度睡眠能运用到何种程度以及会有何种结果将是研究的主题。故选C项。‎ ‎7．What is the main purpose of the passage?‎ A．To introduce a new way of vocabulary learning.‎ B．To gain a better understanding of the mechanisms.‎ C．To challenge current theories of sleep and theories of memory.‎ D．To explain the possibility of vocabulary learning during deep sleep.‎ D　解析：写作意图题。第一段提出问题“This raises the question whether the time spent during sleeping could be used more productively, e. g. for learning a new language.”(是否可以更有效地利用睡眠时间，例如用于学习一种新语言。)；第二段回答该问题“then firstplay, i. e. the initial processing of new information, should also be possible during sleep”(对新信息的初始处理，在睡眠期间也应该是可能的)；第三段通过研究提出证据证明了第二段的猜想。最后两段进行了补充说明。据此可知，本文是为了说明在深度睡眠中，学习新的词汇是可能的。故选D项。‎ ‎8．Where is this text most likely from?‎ A．A novel.‎ B．A guidebook.‎ C．A scientific research website.‎ 13‎ D．A diary.‎ C　解析：文章出处题。根据第一段中的“Sleep research to date focused on” “There is considerable evidence” 第三段中的“The research group” 最后一段中的“The aim of these research groups”并结合文章主旨(在深度睡眠中学习新词汇方面的科学研究)可以推断出，本文可能出自一个科研网站，故选C项。‎ Ⅱ.读后续写 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。‎ Several years ago, I was living in New York and working for an airline, so I never got back home for Christmas. My Christmas was happy too with some other colleagues around. But in my heart I was sad because I couldn’t stay with my family. Sometimes my colleagues would say our Christmas was filled with tears. But this Christmas was different. I was lucky. I had the whole day off, which meant I could stay with my family on Christmas Eve.‎ When Christmas morning came, I awoke to a small hand rubbing my face.“Dad, Merry Christmas！”was all my younger son had time to say. He seemed to be racing against time. I knew he was hunting for gifts with his brother eagerly. I got downstairs just to see the two little boys’ faces as they looked at the pocket rockets Santa Claus had left them. I realized that the real Christmas was for the children who had deep belief in the amazing power of Santa Claus. At first, their fingers went almost shyly over their toys. When their inspection had been completed, the two boys ensured that the gifts were really delivered by Santa Claus and they dragged everything into the center of the living room.‎ Delight flooded the room. As their mother began giving out gifts, I smiled to myself, wondering how my unexpected gifts this year would be received. With so many Christmas spent outside, I had prepared so many gifts for my children and together with my wife I hid them in several secret places. But the children were excellent detectives and they found all of them. They were happily opening packages constantly thanking considerate Santa Claus for his kindness and ability to know their desires. But I had not received a single one. I knew they had forgotten my existence with my absence from their Christmas these years.‎ Paragraph 1：‎ I had to admit that my disappointment was growing steadily._____________________‎ 13‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ Paragraph 2：‎ Suddenly my wife walked up to me. _________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ One possible version：‎ Paragraph 1：‎ I had to admit that my disappointment was growing steadily. I was wondering whether I could get a gift when my younger son ran to me, who was really kind enough to save my face. He asked me to admire his gift which he deeply believed was carefully chosen by Santa Claus. He said happily that he would share some of the gifts of his and allow me to choose one from them. I thanked him from the bottom of my heart, still feeling disappointed.‎ Paragraph 2：‎ Suddenly my wife walked up to me. It seemed that she had guessed how I felt. She asked me to look at the Christmas tree which was decorated with so many boxes. I thought she was showing off her efforts on the decoration but she took off a small box and passed it to me smiling and saying it was for me. I opened it and saw a letter which read“We will never forget you. Merry Christmas！”Under the letter was a watch which was clicking with delight. I was moved with tears.‎ 13‎
