A

(·湖州市吴兴区高二阶段检测)After living in the United States for quite a long time, I do not think about the cultural differences any more. Last month, my parents came to visit me. Their observations on the American lifestyle reminded me that cultural differences between living in China and America are actually everywhere.

When my parents came to America, they praised my house. Everyone had his/her own bedroom：there was a front yard, a backyard and a garage; there were many bathrooms—all convenient and comfortable. However, they were not used to the glass doors at the first floor. My mom, from southern China, was worried that someone would break open the glass doors. Though I said that nobody would do that, she was still worried about it.

When I brought them to eat in fast food restaurants, whether it was in McDonald or KFC, they saw that refilling drinks was for free. This concept of free refill was so new to them.

A Chinese friend told me a story. He and his American girlfriend ate at a restaurant. His girlfriend wanted to drink English tea. He was curious, so he tried some and found that it didn't taste bad with milk and sugar in it. Adding more water to tea is free of course, so he drank more cups. His girlfriend found it embarrassing and explained to him that what he was doing was not exactly fair. If he wanted to drink more tea, he should buy another cup. My friend thought that Americans could take advantage of the free refills, but only a few of them did that. After staying in America for some time, he changed his habit.

Tips for travel to England

Good afternoon, and welcome to England. We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today, I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.

The first one is about drinking. Now, you may not buy alcohol in this country if you are under 18 years of age, nor may your friends buy it for you.

Secondly, noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means, but please don't make unnecessary noise, particularly at night. We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet.

Thirdly, crossing the road. Be careful. The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country. Use pedestrian crossing (人行横道) and do not take any chances when crossing the road.

My next point is about litter (throwing away waste material in a public place). It is an offence (冒犯) to drop litter in the street. When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in a litter bin.

Finally, as regards smoking, it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you are under 16 years of age.

I'd like to finish by saying that if you require any sort of help or assistance, you should contact your local police station, who will be pleased to help you.

Now, are there any questions?

(·聊城三中高二模拟) My parents moved from Mexico to South Texas in the early 90s with the hope for a brighter future for their family of nine—my parents, four boys and three girls. My parents have always wanted the best for us and they have done everything possible to encourage us to get a university degree. Never did they think that by pushing us that direction, it also meant encouraging us to move away and be distant from each other.

Initially, getting accustomed to the American culture and lifestyle was very difficult for my parents. They come from a culture where kids grow up together, go to school together and most of the time live in the same neighborhood. From our point, American family values were a bit different. Typically in the US, when you turn 18, you are expected to graduate from high school, move out, find a university, possibly find a partner, get married and start a life together. Most of these decisions take you away from home; usually you have to follow opportunity wherever that will take you.

This is my family's current situation. I graduated from Bethel College in Indiana in 2010, and in order to fulfill my financial responsibilities of paying off student loans, I moved to Washington State for my job with Experience Mission. Ideally my parents wanted me to come home to South Texas, but that wasn't where my opportunity took me.

Currently, my sister Jennifer lives in Waco, Texas, about eight hours from my parents. My two younger brothers also decided to go to college at Bethel and are away from my parents. More than likely, when they graduate, they will probably not move back home to South Texas.

My parents never imagined that their dream for a better future would separate our family this way. Facebook has played a crucial role in the way we communicate while living in different places. Since we all use Facebook, we have found a place to connect and feel as if we were there together with each other.

篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了他们一家九口从墨西哥移民到美国南德克萨斯州之后的生活、学习以及彼此交往的情况。

A．the writer's family are immigrants to America

B．the writer's family came to America for a better future

C．the writer's parents didn't want their children to get a university degree

D．the writer's parents pushed their children away from each other

答案：A　细节理解题。由第一段第一句可知，作者家是从墨西哥移居至了美国。

9．The writer's parents found it hard to be used to American life because         .

A．they were strangers in America

B．they suffered from a culture shock

C．the local people disliked their family

(·厦门市集美区高二月考)How do you get a job in New York after your education at school is completed? There are several ways.

●If your family is wealthy and owns a business, you can inform your parents you are now ready to start work. Few people have such relatives.

●Most colleges arrange job interviews for their graduating seniors with the major companies who are hiring young workers. The company will interview many of the seniors and offer jobs to them.

●You can look at the job advertisements in the newspaper. If a company is looking forward to hiring a worker, they often put an advertisement in the paper.

●You can inform all your friends who are working that you are now ready to go to work. Your friends can introduce their company if there is a need for more workers.

●You can write a letter with your resume to different companies advising them you are looking for a job. If the company likes your resume, they may call you for an interview. After the interview, you may get a job.

●If you are a teacher, you can apply directly to the Board of Education for a teaching position. They will process your papers and will offer you a job if there is a need in your area of teaching. Maths and science teachers can always find a job.

(·保定市徐水区高二检测)Perhaps you have had many experiences of forgetting things. Most people have. And, what's worse, more people have resigned themselves to a life of forgetting.   16 

First, relax. If you're anxious about remembering something, you'll forget it. Take deep breaths and tell yourself that you have all the time in the world to remember.   17 

  18   If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad, your mind will come to believe it and you won't remember things.

To improve your memory, you'll need to take an active role.   19   For example, if you're learning a language, try to actively remember irregular verbs.

  20   For example, if you need to catch a plane in your mind and notice that it has two wings. Two wings＝2：00. You are now ten times more likely to remember the take－off time.

A．Relaxing will increase your awareness and ability to concentrate.

B．Learning to mentally connect pieces of information can help you remember.

C．A great memory can help you succeed in school, in your job, and in life.

D．Although we all forget things, there are ways to improve our memory.

(·蚌埠市淮上区高二统考)Sometimes Chinese English teachers are puzzled by such questions, “Have you got any skills in reading comprehension？” Actually, many of the teachers can't give students   36   efficient way to deal with reading. Anyway,   37   often simply say, “Read more and practise more, and you   38   (get) more experience in reading comprehension.” Frankly, these teachers' good suggestion   39   more reading can improve their reading comprehension is only helpful to arouse students' interest in reading   40   not helpful to deal with the questions in the examinations.   41   (personal), I think the skill for reading comprehension should be based on the knowledge of English writing. Since the English passages are written under some rules or principles, the science of reading and understanding may have a close relationship   42   writing. Reading comprehension can't be independent from the knowledge of writing.

37．they　考查代词。指代上文提到的“老师们”，在句中作主语，故用they。

38．will get　考查动词的时态。此处是“祈使句＋and＋简单句”句式，祈使句相当于if引导的条件状语从句，简单句表示将来的情况，故用一般将来时。

39．that　考查同位语从句的连接词。此处that引导同位语从句，进一步说明suggestion的内容，that在从句中不作成分，也没有任何语义。

40．but　考查连词。由only helpful to及not helpful to的对比可知，此处表示转折，故填but。

Dear Chen Fan，

I can understand your worry that it also takes time for your child to adapt themselves to a new diet, custom, set of ideas and even the climate.

But you can't deny the fact that it is a great opportunity for those who study abroad to be exposed to more new ideas and trends and broaden their horizons in a great degree. What's more, those who study abroad can get more in touch with the foreign cultures and have a better language learning environment. In addition, it is a better choice for those who depend on their parents too much to be independent. All in all, whose who study abroad may obtain more advantages than those who do not. Do you agree?

Yours，

第二节(满分25分)

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Old and Young Team up to Revive Nyatiti Music in Kenya

The eight－stringed nyatiti was once a popular instrument in Africa's Great Lakes region, but its use has declined dramatically. Now, a Kenyan master is teaming up with a young virtuoso to revive (复兴) the tradition with a new album of nyatiti music.

Oduor Nyagweno's been playing the nyatiti, a traditional African instrument, since he was a boy in Kenya's western region.

He earned the nickname Nyagweno, meaning “spring chicken” in the Luo language, for his boundless energy as a young player. He says, “I started when I was 13 ... When I first saw the instrument, and when I first held the instrument, it was a good feeling, it was an indescribable feeling ... Now, I'm 70 years, and I'm still playing.”

The nyatiti was once popular throughout this part of East Africa. It is made of a wooden resonator covered in goat skin, and players pluck its eight strings like a harp (竖琴)．

Since those raucous days, the nyatiti has faded in Kenya. Old players passed away and young people took an interest in rock and hip hop music.

But Nyagweno hopes to keep the instrument alive. He's teamed up with a young virtuoso, 25－year－old Daniel Onyango, and other Nairobi－based musicians to make a full album of classic nyatiti music.

Onyango has studied under Nyagweno for seven years. He's taken the nyatiti international, performing in Uganda, Sweden, and the United States.

He also gives the old instrument a modern twist, playing the nyatiti in a band that includes electric guitar, saxophone, and drums.

“I think one of the unique things about young people picking up the instrument is they are able to experiment and popularize the instrument，” said Onyango. “The people in the urban setting perceive this as an instrument that you can only play for the tourist ... and I think that has had a negative effect on our musical heritage. But also it's a cool challenge, because there's more possibilty, you automatically stand out among thousands of musicians who play western guitar.”

For Nyagweno, seeing a new “spring chicken” play the nyatiti gives him comfort that his legacy (遗产) won't be lost.

He says, “I can say that he is like my son. Playing the nyatiti won't stop with my death. He will continue the traditions of the past. It can't be extinguished yet as long as we are still teaching them.”
