Specialists say that it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. “Culture shock” is the 　36　 these specialists use when talking about the 　37　 that people have in a 　38　 environment. There are three stages of culture shock, say the specialists. In the first stage, the new comers like their new environment. Then, when the 　39　 experience dies, they begin to　　40　 the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the new comers begin to adjust to their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life 　41 .

Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. 　45 culture shock surprises most people.

Coming to a new　　48　 , these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find 　49 without a role, almost without an identity. They have to 　50　 a new self-image.

Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation（迷失方向）. This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying　　51 all the time. They want to 　52 themselves from the strange environment, and create an escape inside their room for a 　　　53　 of safety. This escape does 　 54　 the problem of culture shock in the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and 　55　 experience---these are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.

　　Did you ever wonder why the water level in a glass doesn’t change when the ice in the glass melts? To find out why, you can use the scientific method. Used by scientists in various situa-　　　　　　　　 tions, the scientific method is also a clear and logical way to solve many real-world problems, as the procedure below indicates.　　

Step in the Scientific Method	Examples
State the problem or question.	“Why doesn’t the water level in a glass rise when ice melts?”
Collect information about the problem, using your own observations and research.	You already know that ice is frozen water. From your research, you learn that water and ice are made of water molecules.
Form a hypothesis, or a best guess based on the information.	“The molecules in water appear to be closer together than they are in ice.”
Test the hypothesis by doing an experiment.	Fill four glasses with ice. Then pour water over the ice and fill each glass to the rim. As the ice melts, you observe that the water does not spill over the top of the glasses. Each time you repeat the experiment, you get the same results.
Draw a conclusion based on your results.	Molecules are closer together in water than they are in ice.

60. Which of the following is good title for this passage?

A. Research and Conclusion　　　　　　　 B. Observation and Experiment

C. Follow the Steps to Find Out Why　　　　D. Mix Water with Ice and Get the Result

61. A hypothesis is _____________.

A. a guess about the cause of something　　　　B. the first step in the scientific method

C. a conclusion about water molecules　　　　 D. an experiment on ice and water

62. This passage suggests that ___________.

A. repeated experiments lead to the right result　　　　　　　　　

B. research should be done in various situations

C. your hypothesis can prove your experiment results　　　　

D. a logical method is needed when solving problem

63. The chart in the passage is useful because it ____________.

　 A. shows a diagram of how ice melts　　　 B. compares water with ice

　 C. shows steps and examples　　　　　　 D. explains cause and effect

Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Psychologists are studying this phenomenon in an attempt to better understand long-term loneliness. These researchers have already identified three different types of loneliness.

The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require special attention. The second kind, situations loneliness, is a natural result of a particular--- for example, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year. Situational loneliness is easy to understand and to predict.

The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, chronic loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.

Many researchers agree that the loneliest people are between the ages 18 and 25, so a group of psychologists decided to study a group of college students. They found that more than 50% of the students were situationally lonely at the beginning of the term as a result of their new circumstances, but had adjusted after a few months. Thirteen percent were still lonely after seven months due to ( because of ) shyness and fear. They felt very uncomfortable meeting new people, even though they understood that their fear was not reasonable. The situationally lonely students overcame their loneliness by making new friends, but the chronically lonely remained unhappy because they were afraid to do so.

Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons. First of all, they are unhappy and unable to socialize. Secondly, researchers have found a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illnesses such as heart disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad, and sometimes dangerous, condition.

64. The passage mainly talks about ___________.

A. the subjects of psychology.　　　　　　 B. the study on loneliness

C. the interests of psychologists.　　　　　 D. the treatment of loneliness.

65. All of the following are true EXCEPT that _____________.

A. 37% of the students can overcome loneliness easily

B. temporary loneliness does not need special attention　　　

C. chronic loneliness can cause problems in socializing　

D. situational loneliness can cause physical problems

66. The underlined word “chronic” in paragraph 3 means “__________”.

A. terrible　　　　B. continual　　　　 C. deadly　　　 D. ordinary

67. Psychologists want to help the habitually lonely people because ___________.

　 A. they are college students　　　　　

B. they are sad and dangerous

　 C. they intend to communicate with others

　 D. they may have mental and physical problems

Life in the Universe

One of the most exciting questions to which scientists are seeking an answer is, “Are there living things anywhere else in the universe? Is the earth the only body in the whole enormous universe where human beings or anything like human beings exist?”

First we must consider what goes to make a living thing, whether plant or animal, and then what conditions living things need in order to go on living. Living things, like everything else, are made of atoms and these atoms are grouped into molecules. A molecule is the very smallest possible bit you can have of any substance. When you break up a molecule of water, for example, you no longer have water at all, but only the atoms of which water is made---one atom of oxygen and two of hydrogen. The molecules of living things are made, not of two or three atoms, but of hundreds or thousands in different complicated patterns.

If they become too hot, these complicated molecules of living things break up into separate atoms and cease(停止) to be living. Therefore there cannot be life on the sun or any of the stars because they are far too hot. Living molecules are also damaged by X-rays, and many of them by ultra-violet rays, so they are not likely to exist on a planet close to the sun or any other star where there is no atmosphere to keep off these radiations.

As well as conditions which do not break up their molecules, living things need energy to make them breathe, grow and move, which non-living things, like rocks and metals, do not need at all. On earth plants and animals get their energy, directly or indirectly, from the light and heat of the sun. So planets which are very far from the sun and extremely cold are not places where living things could exist.

All the plants and animals which we know of on earth have to breathe and so can live only on planets which have suitable atmospheres. Mars and Venus both have atmospheres but neither is of the sort which would support earth-type men or animals. The atmosphere on Mars is very thin and contains very little oxygen, while that of Venus is made up of gases which we could not possibly breathe.

Living things on earth have grown by a process we call evolution from the simplest single-cell plant or animal up to the vast variety of living things we know today including the miracle of man himself. It is not too difficult to imagine that on some other planets orbiting around other stars the same process has gone on. The course of evolution may have varied greatly, and quite different living things may have evolved. But somewhere in space, millions and millions of miles away, there may be other creatures, with brains as well developed as ours who are also groping out into space to discover what else exists in this wonderful universe.

68. How do you understand “As well as conditions” in the 4^th paragraph?

　 A. By means of conditions.　　　　　　　 B. Under existing conditions.

C. Apart from.　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. Under good conditions.

69. According to the author, ____________________.　　

A. people can live on Mars and Venus because they have atmospheres

B. other creatures in the universe may try to make a visit to us

C. there may be intelligent beings out in space

D. living things only need energy and oxygen to live　

70. The course of evolution which the author refers to implies ______________.

　 A. man evolved from animals like monkeys

　 B. different living things may have evolved

　 C. living things have grown from the simplest single-cell plant or animal to many kinds of living things

　 D. man evolved from any living things

71. Which of the following statements is true?

　 A. When living molecules break up into atoms, they will continue to be living.

　 B. The atmospheric structure on Venus is different from that on Mars.

　 C. There is no atmosphere to keep X-rays and ultra-violet rays off on the sun.

　 D. The molecules of living things are made of two or three atoms.

Some people believe that international sport brings about good will between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the terrible incident with the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by those incidents caused mainly by minor national contests.

One country received its second-place medal with great anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were certain that one of their goals should not have been dismissed and that the opposite side’s victory was unfair. Their manager was angry when he said, “This wasn’t hockey. Hockey and international Hockey Society are finished.” The president of the society said later that such words could result in the pause of the team for at least three years.

The American basketball team announced that they would not give away first place to Russia, after a fighting end to their contest. The game had ended in quarrel. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player beat it into the basket. It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. The judges discussed the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that result would stand. The American players then decided not to receive the silver medals.

Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played for honors or money rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that sportsmen should compete as individuals, or in non-national team, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages dangerous nationalism.

72. According to the author, recent Olympic Games have ____________.

　 A. brought about goodwill between the nations

　 B. made only false national pride

　 C. hardly showed any international friendship

　 D. led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred

73. What did the manager mean by saying, “… Hockey and the International Hockey Society are finished”?

　 A. His team would no longer take part in international games.

　 B. Hockey and the society are both ruined by the unfair decisions.

　 C. There should be no more hockey matches organized by the society.

　 D. The society should be dismissed.

74. The author gives the two examples in paragraphs 2 and 3 to show ___________.

　 A. how false national pride leads to undesirable incidents in international games

　 B. that sport men have been more troublesome than they used to be

　 C. that competitiveness in the games discourages international friendship

　 D. that unfair decisions are common in Olympic Games

75. What conclusion can be drawn from the text?

　 A. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.

　 B. Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.

　 C. Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.

　 D. International contests lead to misunderstanding between nations.
