            • 1． Culture shock is so named because of the effect it has on people when they enter a new culture．Experts have been interested in these effects and have agreed on five basic stages of culture shock．These stages are general and should only be used as a reference．Not every individual will go through each stage，and one stage may last longer than another for different individuals．
              The hardest thing for most travelers to deal with is the emotional"roller coaster"they seem to be riding．One moment they feel very positive toward the new culture，and the next moment very negative．It seems common that international visitors and immigrants vacillate（犹豫不定）between loving and hating a new country．Feelings of separation and alienation can be intensified if they do not have a sense of fitting in or belonging．
              Fatigue is another problem people face when entering a new culture．There can be a sense of greater need for sleep．This is due not only to physical tiredness，but also to mental fatigue．This mental fatigue comes from straining to comprehend the language，and coping with new situation．
              The impact of culture shock can vary from person to person．There can be significant differences because some people may be better prepared to enter a new culture．Four factors which play into these are personality，language ability，length of stay，and the emotional support received．
              It is logical to think that when people are deprived of heir familiar surroundings they will feel disoriented．One solution some have found is to bring a few small reminders of home．Pictures，wall hangings，favorite utensils，and keepsake are all good candidates to make things feel more familiar．Another helpful activity is to establish little routines that become familiar over time．Even better is fitting things that were part of the regular routine back in the home country into the routine established in the new culture．This will make people feel more at home．
              （Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS．）

              81．According to the 1st paragraph，what have experts been interested in？    
              82．What are the two problems people face when entering a new culture？

            • 2． 阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题．（请注意问题后的词数要求）
              [1]Some expressions describe people who are important，or who at least think they are．One such expression is bigwig．
              [2]In the seventeenth century，important men in Europe began to wear false hair，called wigs．As years passed，wigs began to get bigger．The size of a man's wig depended on how important he was． The more important he was-or thought he was一                 ．
              Today，the expression bigwig is used to make fun of a person who feels important．People never tell someone he is a bigwig．They only use the expression behind his back．
              [3]Big wheel is another way to describe an important person．A big wheel may be the head of a company，a political leader，a famous movie star．They are big wheels because they are powerful．What they do affects many people．Big wheels give the orders．Other people carry them out．As in many machines，a big wheel makes the little wheels turn．Big wheel became a popular expression after World WarⅡ．It probably comes from an expression used for many years by people who fix parts of cars and trucks．They said a person roiled a big wheel if he was important and had influence．
              [4]The top of something is the highest part．So it is not surprising that top is part of another expression that describes an important person．The expression is top banana．A top banana is the leading person in a comedy show．The funniest comedian is called the top banana．The next is second banana．And so on．Why a banana？A comedy act in earlier days often included a part where one of the comedians would hit the others over the head with a soft object． The object was shaped like the yellow fruit：the banana．Top banana still is used mainly in show business．Yet the expression can also be used to describe the top person in any area．

            • 3． [1]The year 2008 has one extra day in it-February 29th．Well，it actually takes the planet Earth a little more than 365 days to revolve completely around the sun．After four years an extra 24 hours have accumulated so an extra day is added to the calendar．
              [2]It is called a leap year because hundreds of years ago in England，the extra day wasn't legally recognized．The British just leapt over that day．Therefore a year with 29 days in February is consequently called a leap year and that 29th day is sometimes called Leap Day．If you are born on 29th February in a leap year，there are difficulties in celebrating your birthday．So people tend to celebrate on either 28th February or 1st March every year．
              [3]There is a well-known tradition in the UK associated with 29th February，introduced many centuries ago．Women are allowed to break with tradition and propose （求婚）to their boyfriends on this day．This all started back in the 5th Century，when a famous Irish saint，Bridget，complained to Saint Patrick，another famous Irish saint，that women had to wait too long for men to propose．
              According to the legend，Saint Patrick said any female longing for a proposal could ask their boyfriend to marry them on this additional day in February．
              [4]Now in 2008，there are calls for 29th February to become a public holiday．Some people believe that it should be an official day off，because no one gets paid for working in a leap day．For the moment though，the British still have to go to work on this day．

              76．How long does it take the planet Earth to revolve completely around the sun？（no more than 9 words）    
              77．What does the word"them"（Line 6，Paragraph 3）probably refer to？（no more than 3 words）

              （71）    People traveled in search of food and shelter or in order to flee from their enemies．Sometimes they were looking for gold or silver in order to become rich．On other occasions they were searching for rich farmland．
              This is not to say that no one ever traveled just for fun．Even in ancient times，some pleasure travel occurred．During a typical season，700，000 tourists would crowd into the ancient city of Rome，where animals performed and magicians entertained them．（72）    
              （73）     International tourist arrivals alone reached as many as 546 million in 1994 and are forecast to rise to 937 million in 2010，according to the World Trade Organization．
              （74）    Probably the most common reason for traveling is related to our physical well-being．Actually，traveling to sports events is one of the fastest growing types of travel．In our fast developing society where stress has become part of people's life，people can rest and relax by having a change of environment and activities．
              （75）     No one seems to doubt that travel broadens the mind．In 18 th century Europe，young men would go on a Grand Tour to various countries in order to complete their education．Today the desire to travel to different countries is encouraged by modern mass media．People who travel to other countries can at the same time learn more about their own country and culture．

              A．But why do people like traveling so much？
              B．Throughout history，most travel was not for pleasure．
              C．So they travel to a lake for a swim or to a park for a hike．
              D．The improvement in transportation has also encouraged people to travel．
              E．People had appeal to their lives in the past．
              F．The growth of tourism has become a modern phenomenon experienced by all countries in the world．
              G．Another important reason for traveling is to satisfy our curiosity about different places and cultures．

            • 5． The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups．Silences may be thoughtful，or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say．A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness，uneasiness，or worry．Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable； therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap（间隙）with conversation．Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs．
              Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people，just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do．Therefore，when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops，what may be implied（暗示） is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing．In these cultures，silence is a call for reflection．
              Other cultures may use silence in other ways，particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power．For example，Russian，French，and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion．However，Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her．In still another use，persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect，particularly to an elder or a person in authority．
              Nurses and other care-geivers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be expericencing．Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily．A nurse who understands the healing（治愈） value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures．
              32．What does the author say about silence in conversations？    
              A．It implies anger．
              B．It promotes friendship．
              C．It is culture-specific．
              D．It is content-based．
              33．Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought？    
              A．The Chinese．
              B．The French．
              C．The Mexicans．
              D．The Russians．
              34．What does the author advise nurses to do about silence？    
              A．Let it continue as the patient pleases．
              B．Break it while treating patients．
              C．Evaluate its harm to patients．
              D．Make use of its healing effects．
              35．What may be the best title for the text？    
              A．Sound and Silence
              B．What It Means to Be Silent
              C．Silence to Native Americans
              D．Speech Is Silver； Silence Is Gold．
