Its exciting to meet new people and see new places. Some newcomers feel like they are on top of the world. It is like a big adventure. They are pleased with themselves for having taken a big step. However, one month, six months, or even one year later, some people have different feelings. There are many new things that are hard to understand and accept in another country. People live in a new culture have to eat new kinds of food, learn a new language, and live in their daily lives far away from their families and friends. At this time, people cry more and feel more sadly. They shed tears because they feel very homesick. They feel down in the dumps because it seems nobody understands them. Some newcomers burst into tears when they talk about or even think about their families. Sometimes, on special holidays, they might not even be comforted. They are heartbroken because they are so far away from everything that is familiar and comfortable. This time of being in low spirits doesnt last forever. Eventually, newcomers start to adjust and to feel more contended with their new lives. People start to smile more and chuckle at jokes. They feel more optimistic and more accepting of their new life and the changes they have experienced. Newcomers wont ever feel life they are walking on air every day, but they will feel more pleased about their new lives. It takes time to make this adjustment. The experience of living in a new culture will always have its low points, but it also has its joyous moments. Living in a new culture teaches us a lot about ourselves and about our ability to change.26. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about? A) People feel very excited to live in a new culture.

Behind us is the ship, half in sunlight and half in deep shadow. A few miles ahead is a wall of mountains towering against the blue sky. Moreover, there, as if resting on the mountains, is a great ball of light, beautifully colored in blue, green and brown with a patch of dazzling white at the top. It is our own far away worldthe earth.We take a step and rise like jumper-up, float and come down again. Hopping carefully, we looked over the valley and the plain.Not a sound can be heard because there is no air to carry sound, and wind; there are no smells, no plants, and no animals. There is nothing but rock and dust, blinding sunlight and cold black shadows.31. The passage is written as if _. A) you were on the earth B) you were on the moon with the writer C) the writer were on the moon D) the writer were on the earth32. The ball above the mountain is _.

On the moons surface you would not find _. A) blinding sunlight B) valley and plains C) rock and dust D) plants and animalsPassage ThreeIn sports, the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races. Women are less strong than man. That at least is what people say. Women are called the “weaker sex”, or if men want to please them, “the fair sex”. But boys and girls are taught together at school and universities. There are women who are famous prime ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are womens bodies really weaker?The fastest men can run a mile within 4 minutes, the best women 4.5 minutes. Womens times are always slower than mens, but some facts are surprising. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are girls. One of them swam 400 meters in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first “Tarzan(泰山)” in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weiss Muller. His fastest 400 meters was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women are given hormone injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are separated sexes.36. Women are called “the weaker sex” because _.A) in sports the two sexes are always separateB) people usually think soC) women are less strong than menD) men want to please women37.

C) The fastest swimmers are usually girls. D) The fastest women can run as fast as the best men.40. What problem does sport have? A) Some women are actually men. B) Sport is becoming too serious. C) Sportsmen are given hormone injections.D) Women and men are separate in sports.Passage FourAccording to an old story, a farmer once found that a bag of corn had been stolen from his house.

He took a number of sticks of equal length and gave one stick to each man.He then said, “Come before me again tomorrow.
