Directions:
Read the following passages carefully and choose the best to each question and write down your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.
Passage 1
The term "culture shock" has already begun to creep into the popular vocabulary. Culture shock is the effect that involvement in a strange culture has on the unprepared visitor. Culture shock is what happens when a traveler suddenly finds himself in a place where yes may mean no, where a "fixed price" is negotiable, where to be kept waiting in an outer office is no cause for insult, where laughter may signify anger.
The culture shock phenomenon causes a breakdown in communication, a misreading of reality, an inability to cope. Yet culture shock is relatively mild in comparison with the much more serious malady （弊病）, future shock. Future shock is brought on by the premature (提前的) arrival of the future. It may well be the most important disease of tomorrow.
Ⅲ. Reading comprehension. (30%)
Take an individual out of his own culture and set him down suddenly in an environment sharply different from his own, with a different set of clues to different conceptions of time, space, work, love, religion, sex,?react to and everything else, then the dislocation he suffers will be severe. Given few clues as to what kind of behavior is rational(合理的) under the radically new circumstances, the victim may well become a danger to himself and others.
Now imagine not merely an individual but an entire society, an entire including its weakest, least intelligent, and most irrational?generation suddenly transported into this new world. The result is mass?members disorientation (迷失方向), future shock on a grand scale.
This is the prospect that man now faces. Change is avalanching（把... 淹没）upon our heads and most people are unprepared to cope with it.
41. Culture shock occurs when ________.
A. one loses all hopes of returning to his home environment
B. one expresses ideas and emotions contrary to what he intends to express
C. one cannot make accurate judgment using one's own value standards

Passage 2
Young people and older people do not always agree. They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and playing. But in one special programme in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way.
Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village.
3
Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and to build houses. The adults teach them these skills.
There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn photo-taking or painting. Others sit around and talk or sing. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.
When people live together, rules are necessary. In this programme the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. They talk about it and ask, “Why did it happen? What should we do about it?”
One of the teenagers has this to say about th e experience: “You stop thinking only about yourself. You learn how to think about the group.”

Passage 3
During the first half of the nineteenth century much thought was given to building the Panama （巴拿马）Canal. The discovery of gold in California in 1848 brought an increased demand for a transportation link across Panama. A railroad line was completed after six years of hard labor in the swamps (沼泽) and jungles. Over two thousand workmen died from yellow fever and malaria (疟疾). In 1881 a French organization tried to build a canal across the Isthmus（巴拿马地峡）. For eleven years workmen struggled against heat and disease. At least 15,000 died before the French gave up their attempts to build the canal. For years the abandoned machinery lay in the jungles. At the close of the Spanish-American War the United States bought a strip of land ten miles wide across the Isthmus.
4
Immediate attention was given to the control of diseases. In two years yellow fever was completely eliminated（消除）. Because of the work of American medical heroes, it was possible to build the splendid Panama Canal.
51. Prior to(在…之前) the successful completion of the Panama Canal, ________.
A. France bought a strip of land across the Isthmus of Panama
B. Malaria was wiped out as a killer disease
C. one country failed in its attempts to build a canal
D. American doctors were honored for their work
52. The building of the Panama Canal represents ________.
A. man's unyielding desire for progress

C. man's ability to resist disease
D. man's spirit of invention
53. What was given priority by the United States?
A. Buying a strip of land
B. Starting building the canal immediately
C. The prevention of illness
D. The Spanish-American War
54. The author writes this article according to ________.
A. order of importance

C. simple listing
D. time order
55. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The elimination of yellow fever.
B. The discovery of gold in California.
C. The efforts recorded in the building of the Panama Canal.
D. The work of American medical heroes
Passage 4
In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time forms a relationship with one familiar teacher. On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less free in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautious approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in a week, and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff. He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is available —but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is another matter.
Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of people — often rather frightening-looking people — and realizes that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through the school
5
the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils.
56. According to the passage one of the problems for pupils entering secondary schools is that
________.
A. they are taught by many different teachers
B. they do not attend lessons in every subject
C. the teachers are not so friendly and helpful
D. the teachers give most attention to a few pupils
57. In secondary schools every pupil having problems should ________.
A. know how to ask for help
B. go to ask any teacher he can find
C. discuss his problem in class
D. turn to his parents for help
58. It can be inferred from the passage that the author is mainly concerned about ________.
A. academic standards
B. the role of specialist teachers
C. the training of the individual teachers
D. the personal development of pupils
59. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. All the secondary schools know the way to encourage students' requests for help.
B. The secondary schools are responsible for offering personal and group advice to new pupils.
C. Secondary school pupils enjoy greater freedom in communicating with teachers and fellow
pupils.
D. Secondary school pupils can easily get the help they need.
60. The most appropriate title for the passage would be ________.
A. Primary School and Secondary School
B. Problems for New Secondary School Teachers
C. Problems for New Secondary School Pupils
D. Academic Work and Personal Relationship

大学英语四级专项训练——选词填空 （一） Americans are proud of their variety and individualty, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform. Why are uniforms so __1__ in the United States Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more __2__ than civilian（百姓的）clothes. People have become conditioned to __3__ superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform tends to __4__ more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the __5__ of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What an easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to __6__ professional identity（身份）than to step out of uniform Uniforms also have many __7__ benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes. Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of __8__ experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without __9__, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act __10__, on the job at least. [A]skill [B]popular [C]get [D]change [E]similarly 、[F]professional [G]character [H]individuality [I] inspire [J] differently [K]expect [L]practical [M] recall [N] lose [O] ordinary （二） 、 Psychologists take opposing views of how external rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativity. Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and their consequences, argue that rewards can __1__ performance at work and school. Cognitive( 认识派的) researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, maintain that rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on __2__ and gifts from others. The latter view has gained many supporters, __3__ among educators. But the careful use of small __4__ rewards speaks creativity in grade school children, suggesting that properly presented inducements( 刺激) indeed __5__inventiveness, according to a study in the June Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. “If kids know they’re working f or a reward and can focus on a relatively __6__ task, they show the most creativity,” says Robert Eisenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. “But it’s easy to __7__ creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much anticipation for rewards.

Calculate for a moment what could be done with even a part of those hours. Five thousand hours, I am told, are what a typical college undergraduate spends working on a bachelor's degree. In 10,000 hours you could have learned enough to become an astronomer or engineer. You could have learned several languages fluently. If it appealed to you, you could be reading Homer in the original Greek or Dostoyevsky in Russian. If it didn't, you could have walked around the world and written a book about it. The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort. The dullest, the least gifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrate on anything. But Television encourages us to apply no effort. It sells us instant gratification(满意). It diverts us only to divert, to make the time pass without pain. Television's variety becomes a narcotic(麻醉的), nor a stimulus. Its serial, kaleidoscopic (万花筒般的)exposures force us to follow its lead. The viewer is on a perpetual guided tour: 30 minutes at the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—except on television., typically, the spans allotted arc on the order of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another. In short, a lot of television usurps(篡夺;侵占) one of the most precious of all human gifts, the ability to focus your attention yourself, rather than just passively surrender it. Capturing your attention—and holding it—is the prime motive of most television programming and enhances its role as a profitable advertising vehicle. Programmers live in constant fear of losing anyone's attention—anyone's. The surest way to avoid doing so is to keep everything brief, not to strain the attention of anyone but instead to provide constant stimulation through variety, novelty, action and movement. Quite
