Ⅰ．阅读理解　

(2023·山东昌乐二中高二检测)This year over twenty－three hundred teenagers (young people aged from 13～19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in US homes. They will attend US schools，meet US teenagers，and form impressions of the real America. At the same time，about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.

Here is a two－way student exchange in action. Fred，nineteen，spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn，George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.

Fred，a lively young man，knew little German when he arrived，but after two months’ study the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected—much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that were usual in the US. There were almost no outside activities.

Family life，too，was different. The father’s word was law，and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also，he missed having a car. “Back home，you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany，you walk，but you soon learn to like it. ”　

At the same time，in America，Mike，a friendly German boy，was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize American schools，” he said. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two. ”　

(　　)1．What’s the purpose of the whole exchange program?

A．To help teenagers in other countries know the real America.

B．To send students in America to travel in Germany.

C．To let students learn something about other countries.

D．To help teenagers to learn new languages.

(　　)2．What is particular in American schools?

A．There is a fountain between the two teaching buildings.

B．There are a lot of outside activities.

C．Students usually take 14 subjects in all.

D．Students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car.

(　　)3．What did Mike think after experiencing the American school life?

A．A better education should include something good from both America and Germany.

B．German schools trained students to be better citizens.

C．American schools were not as good as German schools.

D．The easy life in American schools was more helpful to students.

【语篇导读】本文介绍了一个不同国家青少年参与的交换生活动。通过此活动，交换生们可以感受到不同国家之间的文化差异。

1．C　细节理解题。根据第一段第二、三句话“They will attend US schools…American teenagers will go to other countries…”可知，这个项目是让学生们了解其他国家。

2．B　细节理解题。根据文章最后一段倒数第三句“Here we take part in many outside activities. ”可知，在美国的学校里有很多的户外活动。

3．A　推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“There ought to be some middle ground between the two. ”可知，他认为要从两种教育体系中找出好的方面，并把二者结合在一起。

Ⅱ．七选五　

(2023·山东枣庄高二检测)What is classed as normal behaviour in one culture can sometimes be unsuitable, unacceptable, or even offensive in another. We’re all different and we all have different beliefs and ways of doing things. Understanding this is what cultural awareness(意识) is all about.

__1__ We need to take a long，hard look at ourselves. What makes us the way we are？Well，there’s history，tradition，education，and our parents. These are all good things. But do any of them make us better than others？No. __2__　

It’s easy to understand why we start off believing that our culture is better than any other. In fact，some argue that it’s necessary in order to survive. As children，we typically build our view of the world from our family and the place we grow up. __3__　

In the past，many people never left the comfort of their own town or district. They could all spend their days happily believing that the life they knew was the best, that their way of doing things was the right way, and not imagining or caring what others might think. __4__We do business with people from different cultures，selling each other products and ideas. We learn each other’s languages. __5__ We even live next door to each other. So we all need to learn to appreciate each other’s cultures and ways of living.

A．Not better，but different.

B．We listen to each other’s music.

C．Today’s world isn’t like that though.

D．Culture influences many parts of people’s lives.

E．Cultural awareness can begin by holding up a mirror.

F．Our differences make the world endlessly interesting.

G．However, as we get older our understanding of the world grows with us.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。本文论述了人的文化意识受到历史、传统、教育和父母的影响，并无优劣之分。当今社会，人们要学会尊重和欣赏彼此的文化意识和生活方式。

1．E　根据上文“Understanding this is what cultural awareness is all about(理解文化意识的内涵). ”可知，E项(文化意识可以从举起一面镜子开始)承接上文，关键词为“Cultural awareness”。故选E。

2．A　根据空前一句可知：但是他们中的任何一个会让我们比其他人更好吗？ 不是。又根据空后一句可知，很容易理解为什么我们一开始就认为我们的文化比其他任何文化都好。A项表达的意思是，“并不是哪一个文化意识更好，只是不同而已”，且该项中的“Not”与上文中的“No”相呼应。故选A。

3．G　根据空前一句可知，作为孩子，我们通常从家庭和成长的地方确立我们的世界观。G项中的“get older”与上一句中的“grow up”相呼应。故选G。

4．C　前文“In the past，many people never left the comfort of their own town or district…and not imagining or caring what others might think”介绍的是过去的情况。因此，“Today’s world isn’t like that though. ”表示今天的世界和过去进行对比。故选C。

5．B　根据空前两句可知：我们与来自不同文化背景的人做生意，互相销售产品和创意；我们互相学习语言。又根据下文可知：所以我们都需要学会欣赏彼此的文化和生活方式。可推知，该空作者列举的另一种欣赏彼此文化的方式。故选B。

Ⅲ．语法填空　

Tardy(迟到的) high school students in Massachusetts may think they’re having bad luck when they are woken up at sunrise by their headmaster’s voice, “It’s 6：15, and it’s Durfee High School calling. ” The voice 1．________ Headmaster Paul Marshall of Durfee High School rings through to the school’s 2，400 students’ phones. 2．________ so－called wake－up calls are aimed at getting the students 3．________ are always late for school out of bed and 4．________(make) them go to school on time. The calls can also be used to send notes of weather－related school delays to the parents.

Durfee High School takes on the added role of alarm clock to fight with high rates of tardiness. The students get phone calls at home at 6：15 a. m. , 5．________ the school day’s first class begins at 7：45 a. m.

Administrators(管理人员) there hope the effort will promote attendance from 88 percent now to at least 95 percent. “6．________(historical), we have battled with the attendance problem, and 7．________(we) attendance has always been a concern，” Mr Marshall said.

The school 8．________(begin) to use wake－up calls after failing to improve attendance 9．________ punishments like making study hours 10．________(long). As is posted on the school’s website, “Tardiness is not allowed in the world of work and will not be allowed here as well. ”　

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国马萨诸塞州的一所高中就为了管理那些总是迟到的学生，推行了“电话叫醒”制度。每天早上6点15分，学生们就会准时接到叫醒电话，最要命的是里面传出的是校长的声音。

1．of　此处指的是校长的声音，所以表示所属关系，因此填介词of。

2．The　此处表示特指意义，故填the。

3．who/that　分析句子可知，该句为定语从句，且先行词为 “the students”，故填who或that来引导该定语从句。

4．making　分析句子可知，该词与getting是并列关系，同作短语 “are aimed at”的宾语，故填making。

5．while　两句之间为对比关系，故用while，意为“然而”。

6．Historically　副词位于句首作状语，故填Historically。

7．our　因为该句为and连接的并列句，且第一个分句的主语为we，所以此处指的是“我们的出席人数”，故填our。

8．began　开始实施“电话叫醒”制度是在过去发生的，故填一般过去时态began。

9．with　用具体的某种手段时，要使用介词with，意为“用”。

10．longer　作为惩罚手段，因此是将学习时间延长，故填比较级longer。
