Ⅲ阅读理解: 在所给选项中选出最佳答案，并把答题卷上相应的字母涂黑。

When students from other countries come to the United States, they are sometimes shocked at the informality in American college and university classes. For example, American professors do not dress up and they generally call their students by their first names. Students can speak out in class, without raising their hands. Students can drink coffee, tea, juice, or soft drink during class.

Foreign students can usually get used to these differences easily. However, tow examples of American informality are very difficult for some to understand. First, American students call their teachers by their first names. Instead of calling a teacher Mr. Smith or Professor Johnson, they call them T om or Barbara. In some countries, students are not allowed to do that. Second, American students sometimes criticize(批评) the ideas of their teacher. They might also give their teachers suggestions about changing something in the class. In many countries, students cannot openly criticize their teachers or classes.

Thus, some foreign students feel shocked, embarrassed and uncomfortable in American classrooms. They have two choices. One, they can imitate(模仿) the behavior of the American students. But this will make them feel uncomfortable and disrespectful. Two, they can continue to follow their own customs. But in this case, the American teachers and students might think that the foreign students are too formal or too quiet.

What is the solution to this problem? This is no easy answer. However, time will help to solve the problem, because foreign students will become used to the new behavior.

1. How do foreign students normally feel when they first step into the American classrooms?

A. Shocked. C. Relaxed.

B. Afraid. D. Nervous.

标准答案：A

2. What is Professor Edward A. Johnson usually called by his student?

A. Professor Johnson. C. Edward.

B. Mr. Johnson. D. Professor Edward.

标准答案：C

3. What would American students do in the class?

A. Laughing at their teachers. C. Doing what they want to do.

B. Openly criticizing their teachers. D. Listening to every word their teachers say.

标准答案：B

4. How would a foreign student feel if he tries to imitate the behavior of the American students?

A. Disrespectful. C. Polite.

B. Easy. D. Angry.

标准答案：A

5. If a foreign student continues to follow his own customs, the American teachers and

students might think that __________.

A. he is too proud C. he is too formal or too quiet

B. he does not want to communicate D. he is embarrassed

标准答案：C

6. How can this problem be solved according to the passage?

A. Foreign students should seek advice from their native classmates.

B. Foreign students should continue to follow the customs of their home countries.

C. American professors should show respect to foreign students and change their behavior.

D. Time will help foreign students to get used to the behavior in American classes.

标准答案：D

Have you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your mind was a million miles away? Y ou probably felt sorry and made up your mind to pay attention and never have daydreaming again. Most of us, from earliest school days, have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time.

"On the contrary," says L. Giambra, an expert in psychology(心理学), "daydreaming is quite necessary. Without it, the mind couldn't get done all the thinking it has to do during a normal day... Y ou can't possibly do all your thinking with a conscious(有意识的) mind. Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming then may be one way that the unconscious and conscious states of mind have silent dialogues."

Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even considered them harmful. At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses. They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late 1980s. Eric Klinger, a professor of psychology, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinger says, "We know now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our futures...Day dreams really are a window on the things we fear and the things we long for in life."

Daydreams are usually very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand. It's easier to gain a deep understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine your sleep dreams carefully.

Daydreams help you recognize the difficult situations in your life and find out a possible way of handling them.

Daydreams cannot be predicted(预料); they move off in unexpected directions which may be creative and full of useful ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy.

So the next time you catch yourself daydreaming, don't stop. Just pay attention to your dream. It may be more important than you think.

1. Daydreaming used to be considered __________.

A）very simple and direct

B) a necessary part of thinking

C)unimportant or even harmful

D)the result of an unconscious mind

标准答案：C

2. In what way are daydreams different from sleep dreams?

A) Daydreams are easier for us to understand.

B) Daydreams are not so easy for us to control and direct.

C) Daydreams help us to handle more difficult situations.

D) Daydreams help to develop an unconscious mind.

标准答案：A

3. People get a better understanding of daydreams in __________.

A)the early 1970s B) the late 1970s C)the early 1980s D) the late 1980s

标准答案：D

4. Professor Eric Klinger believes that ___________.

A) we may study our experiences just through our daydreams

B) daydreaming is one of the important ways that we recognize our lives

C) we should be able to tell our futures by having daydreams

D)our fears and longings in life are shown in our daydreams

标准答案：D

5. The writer of the article thinks that ____________.

A) Professor Eric Klinger has a better idea than L. Giambra

B)daydreaming with an unconscious mind will do good to health

C)daydreaming is more helpful than sleep dreams

D)many artists and scientists are famous because they have daydreams

标准答案：C

6. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A)Daydreaming was once regarded as a cause of some mental illnesses.

B) Scientists believe that we can know daydreams before having them.

C)Experts began to have a better understanding of daydreams in the late 1980s.

A good opportunity for many international students to pursue a higher education is to leave their native country and come to the United States.

189 international students, mostly from India, decided to attend Southern University.

Following his father‘s footstep, Rajeshekhar Chimmalgi, a freshman of physics major from India, came to Baton Rouge in 1998 and attended Southern University. He has good things to say to hopeful attendees.

―At Southern, the physics department staff and students helped me get through the registration process and advised me how to s tudy and what classed to take,‖ Cimmalgi said.

The majority of international students at Southern are there to obtain a graduate degree and then return to their home country. However, during their short stay in the U. S., many international students find it hard to fit in.

―It‘s really difficult because you are the only one and you don‘t know anyone.‖ Chimmalgi said.

One of the easiest ways for them to feel comfortable is to be around people from their own culture. ―I have some friends from Jamaica and Trinidad, so I don‘t feel so out of place.‖ said one student named Boogle.

Farhana Lubna, a third semester graduate student from Bangladesh, feels that Southern could do more to make them feel comfortable. He said, ―At Louisiana State University, they have an international expo and foreign students introduce their culture to the university. I think Southern could do something similar to that.‖

Le Le and Ya Ya have arrived at the Memphis Zoo this week. The number of giant pandas in the United States has increased to nine. They spread across four zoos. It‘s not easy getting them here.

In order to bring a pair of pandas into the United States, each zoo has to get a permit(许可证), because the panda is the type of animal that may soon disappear from the world.

―Pandas are difficult to study in the wild. They live in mountains. They are shy, so it‘s rare that you would actually see one.‖

What the western scientists know about pandas today mostly comes from studies of Ling Ling and Hsing Hsing at the Smithsonian Institution‘s National Zoo.

Ling Ling and Hsing Hsing were the first two pandas in the U.S. zoo. They were given as a gift to the United States in 1972 by the Chinese government.

The nine pandas now in the U.S. belong to the Chinese government, and are in the American zoos for 10 to 12 years. A baby panda which was born at the San Diego zoo three years ago also belongs to China.

Studies on pandas can improve their conditions. They provide knowledge that helps save the wild population.

1. How many giant pandas were there in the U.S. zoos before Le Le and Y a Y a arrived?

A. 9

B. 3

C. 6

D. 7

标准答案：D

2. What does a zoo need before it gets a panda from China?

A. Bamboo trees

B. An airplane.

C. A permit.

My cousin, John, is a university student. Last year he went to Italy and stayed there for two months. I was surprised that John was able to have such a long holiday because he never has any money.

When the TV viewer turns on his set, what sort of programs does he have to choose from? You might think there would be more programs devoted to entertainment than to anything else, but that‘s not the case.

In most countries, fewer than 20% of broadcasting hours are devoted to entertainment. U.S. figures are high — 34.8%，and the fun-loving Canadians are even higher with 44%. Except Canada and Italy, all countries give more broadcasting time to education than to either information (news, documentaries and so on) or entertainment programs. Of course, few educational broadcasts take place during peak viewing times. In Japan though, more than 60% of broadcasting time is taken up with education of one kind o r another -- just another example of the businesslike Japanese philosophy. In the U.K., the figure is 56.4%. The Italians have fewer educational programs than anyone else. They don‘t go in for entertainment either. Only about ten percent of viewing time is devoted to dramas and serials, quiz shows, music, sports, etc. You will find more news information programs on Italian TV than anything else. That‘s understandable in a co untry experiencing social and political changes. Italians rely on TV to tell them what‘s going on —and events are happening almost too fast to follow. The percentage of time the U.S. devoted to news and documentary programs is much smaller. After education, most TV time is given to entertainment. Many of these programs are shown around the world.

Most Americans would have a difficult time telling you, specifically, what the values are which Americans live by. They have never given the matter any thought.

Over the years I have introduced thousands of international visitors to life in the United States. This has caused me to try to look at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors. I am confident that the values listed in this booklet describe most (but not all )Americans, and that understanding these values can help you, the international visitor, understand Americans.

It is my belief that if foreign visitors really understand how deeply these 13 values are ingrained in Americans, they will then be able to understand 95% of American actions —a ctions which might otherwise appear ―strange,‖―confusing,‖or ―unbelievable‖ when evaluated from the perspective of the foreigner's own society and its values.

The different behaviors of a people or a culture make sense only when seen through the basic beliefs, assumptions and values of that particular group. When you encounter an action, or hear a statement in the United States which surprises you, try to see it as an expression of one or more of the values listed in this booklet.

1. Can an ordinary American tell you his/her value system?

A. Yes, because this is something an American lives by.

B. Yes, because values are something always in their mind.

C. No, because no one cares about his/her value system.

D. No, because he/she has never really thought about it.

标准答案：D

2. The author lists 13 values in his booklet to __________.

We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways.

It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns.

Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like "he went pale and begin to tremble" suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, "he opened his eyes wide" is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese "surprise" can be described in a phrase like ―they stretched out their tongues!‖ Sticking out your tongue in English is an in sulting gesture or expresses strong dislike.

Even in the same culture, people differ in ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on people's faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do.

1. According to the passage, __________.

A. we can hardly understand what people's gestures mean

B. we cannot often be sure what people mean when they describe their feelings in words or gestures

You can improve your child‘s hearing memory considerably. Once his hearing memory has been greatly improved, he'll be able to use and remember what he listens to in class. The success of these suggestions depends upon your ability to use your child‘s natural desire to get involved in games he finds simple and fun.

A good way to begin is to read aloud a sentence from a book suitable for your child's reading age. Then ask your youngster to repeat the sentence back to you correctly. Next, reread the sentence, leaving out a particular word. See if your child can identify the word you left out. At the beginning, use only simple sentences. Gradually, increase the length of the sentences. Make sure you don‘t rush things along too quickly, or your child may become discouraged and tired of the game.

Take your child shopping with you often. He is to remember a list of items you want to

buy in the supermarket. At first, ask him to remember only a few things. Then, as he shows increased ability to remember, make the list longer and longer. Praise him often and warmly when he shows increased ability to remember things. He'll become proud of his ?good‘ memory and will happily play the game.

Encourage your child to learn easy and short poems. As his ability to do this becomes stronger, encourage him to remember longer poems. Do the same with songs.
