Psychlgists tell us that there are fur basic stages that human beings pass thrugh when they enter and live in a new culture.
Culture begins with the “hneymn stage”. This is the perid f time when we first arrive in a cuntry where everything abut the new culture is strange and exciting. We may be suffering frm “jet lag” but we are thrilled t be in the new envirnment, seeing new sights, hearing new sunds and language, eating new kinds f fd.
Unfrtunately, after we have settled dwn int ur new life, we can becme very tired and begin t miss ur hmeland and ur family, friends, pets. All the little prblems in life seem t be much bigger and mre disturbing when yu face them in a freign culture.
The third stage cmes when yu begin t realize that things are nt s bad in the hst culture. Yur sense f humr usually becmes strnger and yu realize that yu are becming strnger by learning t take care f yurself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but yu are nw a survivr.
The furth stage can be called “at ease at last”. Nw yu feel quite cmfrtable in yur new surrundings. Yu can cpe with mst prblems that ccur. Yu may still have prblems with the language, but yu knw yu are strng enugh t deal with them.
There is a fifth stage f culture shck which many peple dn’t knw abut. This is called “reverse culture shck”. Surprisingly, this ccurs when yu g back t yur native culture and find that yu have changed and that things there have changed while yu have been away. Nw yu feel a little uncmfrtable back hme.

"Lng time n see.” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence frm an American friend’s e-mail, I laughed. I thught it was a perfect example f Chinglish.
Obviusly, it is a wrd-by-wrd literal translatin (直译) f the Chinese greeting with wrng English grammar! Later n, my friend tld me that it is a standard American greeting. I was t surprised t believe her. Her wrds were unbelievable at all. S I did research n Ggle.cm. T my surprise, there are ver 60 thusand web pages cntaining “Lng time n see.” Thugh it is srt f infrmal, it is part f the language that Americans use daily. Interestingly, if yu type this phrase in Micrsft Wrd, the sftware will tell yu that the grammar needs t be crrected.
Nbdy knws the rigin f this Chinglish sentence. Sme peple believe that it came frm Charlie Chan’s mvies. In the 1930s, Hllywd mviemakers successfully created a wrldwide famus Chinese detective (警探) named “Charlie Chan” n wide screens. Detective Chan liked t teach Americans sme Chinese wisdm by quting Cnfucius. “Lng time n see.” was his symbl. Sn after Charlie Chan, “Lng time n see.” became a ppular expressin in America thanks t the ppularity f these mvies.
Sme schlars cmpare America t a huge melting pt. All kinds f cultures are mixed in the pt tgether, and they change the clr and taste f each ther. Language is usually the first thing t be influenced in the mixed pt.
Yu can have sme examples frm ther cuntries, such as pizza frm Italian, sushi frm Japanese, and déjà vu frm French etc. There is a lng list! Since Americans admire Chinese culture mre and mre nwadays, I believe mre Chinese wrds will becme American English in the future. In this way, the American’s melting pt keeps adding richness.
28．What did the writer himself feel surprised at?
A．The Chinglish expressin “Lng time n see.”
B．S many literal translatins f the expressins used in America.
C．“Lng time n see.” is used as a standard American English greeting.
D．Finding ut Americans use the expressin every day.
29．What d the underlined wrds “melting pt” in Paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A．Cnfucius’s wrds.B．Culture mixture.
C．A kind f cked dish.D．American changing cultures.
30．What can be inferred frm the passage?
A．Detectives translated the phrase “Lng time n see.”
B．Cultures cannt be changed in the huge melting pt.
C．The huge melting pt greatly affects all kinds f languages.
D．Hllywd made “Lng time n see.” ppular.
31．What is the main idea f the passage?
A．American English keeps being enriched by different cultures.
B．Americans have a strng interest in Chinese culture.
C．Sme American expressins can be used in China.
D．Sme Chinese expressins are intrduced int English.

Petrl and diesel cars may still dminate ur rads, but their days are numbered. A recent university study fund that current electric cars culd be used fr 87 percent f daily car jurneys in the US. That figure culd rise t 98 percent by 2025.
One hurdle t the widespread adptin f electric cars has been “range anxiety” — drivers’ cncerns abut running ut f juice n a jurney. While petrl statins are cnveniently lcated acrss natinal rad systems, the necessary netwrk f electric charging statins is still being develped. In fact, charging pints are becming increasingly cmmn thrughut the USA．
Attitudes twards electric vehicles have changed quite cnsiderably ver the last few years. Nt that lng ag, electric cars met with distrust, and their high price tags drve custmers away. Thanks t imprvements in battery capacity, recharging times, perfrmance and price, the current generatin f electric cars is starting t persuade critics. Plug-in cars will sn give internal cmbustin (内燃) engine mdels a run fr their mney.
As well as advancements n the rad, electric vehicles are taking t the sea and sky. Electric bats are amng the ldest electric vehicles, having enjyed several decades f ppularity frm the late 19th t the early 20th century befre petrl-pwered utbard mtrs tk ver. Nw, the glbal drive fr renewable energy surces is bringing electric bats back. Steps twards electric planes are als being made, with Airbus and NASA amng the rganizatins develping and testing battery-pwered planes. The experiments culd sn make cmmercial electric flight a reality.
Electric vehicles d nt prduce any emissins. Were the US t act n the study's findings and replace 87 percent f its cars with electric vehicles, it wuld reduce the natinal demand fr petrl by 61 percent. Hwever, because f the prductin prcesses and the generatin f electricity required t charge these vehicles, they cannt claim t be cmpletely emissin-free.
Even s, as many cuntries cntinue t increase their use f renewable energy surces, electric vehicles will becme even cleaner.
32．What des the underlined wrd “hurdle” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．aimB．barrierC．cnsequenceD．step
33．In the past, why was the electric cars refused accrding t the passage?
A．They were very prly made.B．They were nt wrth the price.
C．They were nt widely prmted.D．They culdn’t travel at a high speed.
34．What is Paragraph 4 used fr?
A．T intrduce the histry f electric vehicles.
B．T explain the wrld needs mre electric cars.
C．T shw mre peple have interest in electric cars.
D．T describe different ways electric vehicles can be used.
35．Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr this passage?
A．My Dream Car jurneyB．Histry f Electric Cars
C．Prblems with Petrl CarsD．Driving int the Future

38
Selective high schls use a number f standardized tests in admissins decisins, including the SSAT, the High Schl Placement Test, and the Independent Schl Entrance Exam.

40

Grandpa held Sami’s hand tightly but a huge wave separated them. Grandpa fught the waves and tried t catch Sami, but failed. Sami was drifted away! Sami struggled t keep his head abve the water. The water pushed him ahead. Frtunately, he caught Petu in Grandpa’s curtyard. He climbed up it and saw his Grandpa struggling near Betu in the vilent water. He screamed ut t Grandpa t encurage him t apprach Betu, but the water was s wild that it was difficult fr the ld man t reach Betu. An idea ccurred t Sami. He quickly brke ff a branch f Petu and stuck it t Grandpa. With the help f the branch, he pulled Grandpa up the tree.
Nw they were up in Petu. Anther wave came with terrifying speed and frce, but they were safe thanks t the tree. They hugged each ther, tears welling up in their eyes. They stayed there cmfrting each ther, waiting the disaster t g away. After what seemed a lng time, it was calm. Bth Grandpa and Sami came dwn the tree and they hugged the tree with tears f gratitude. But fr Petu, there wuld nt be alive nw. They knew Petu and Betu were part f their life.
