A A American magician David Blaine left the glass box in which he had lived for 44 days without food on October 19 2003 Hundreds of people came to watch the end of his starvation experiment which has become one of London s main tourist attractions A native of Brooklyn New York Blaine first became known as a street magician in the early 1990s He soon found himself doing magic tricks in bars for the likes of American actor Leonardo DiCaprio and his super model friends Over the last decade Blaine has become famous with a combination of breathtaking magic and clever tricks aimed at getting a lot of attention In 1999 he was buried in a coffin 棺材 for one week and in 2000 he spent 62 hours in a giant block of ice Last year he stood on top of a 25 meter pillar 柱子 in the center of New York for 35 hours before jumping into a pile of boxes I think a lot of people are unable to accept that they re able to do what they can do he said They don t realize we can survive The human being is an amazing creation But he seems to have suffered from spending so long in the glass box He said that at times he was unable to see had serious back pains and lost his sense of taste 56 It is for David Blaine to

Blaine didn t have any food for 44 days B B Not everyone goes to university after high school graduation Some work others join the army and an increasing number worldwide are taking a gap year to travel or do community service in their own countries or abroad They are studying sharks off the Australian coast building schools in Mexico and learning Spanish or Italian 用心 爱心 专心5 Students are choosing to take a breather they are thinking They are not sure what they are going to do They are going and exploring some of their interests They are getting experience they can take to the school they finally go to It is an idea actively encouraged by colleges Princeton University has just launched a bridge year program that will send 10 percent of its incoming class to do volunteer work abroad starting in 2009 And the Harvard has spent the last 30 years urging incoming students to take a gap year Many speak of their year away as a life changing experience or a turning point says Harvard admissions director Marlin Lewis Many come to college with new opinions about their academic plans their extracurricular interests and the career possibilities they observed in their year away 60 The reasons why some take a gap year are the following EXCEPT that A they hate studying B they don t know what to do C they want to get experience D they want to know their real interests 61 A student won t in a gap year A travel B join the army C do community service D learn a foreign language 62 After a gap year one would probably A take another year offB earn a lot of money C be refused

gap year C the gap year can only give one some experience about society D nobody will change his own interests after the gap year C C Shopping is not as simple as you think There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf Coloring for example varies according to what the producers are trying to sell Health foods are packages in greens yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colors Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive foods like chocolates are gold and silver The size of a product can attract a shopper But quite often a bottle doesn t contain as much as it appears to It is believed that the better known companies spend on average 70 percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging The most successful producers know that it s not enough to have a good product The founder of Pears soap who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote their goods came to the conclusion Any fool can make soap but it takes a genius to sell it 64 Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text A The cost of its package B The price of the product C The color of its package D The brand name of the product 65 The underlined part in paragraph 3 means that the colors A attracted the customers strongly B had weak effect on the customers

Products C Effect of Packaging on Shopping D Brand Names and Shopping Tricks D D You feel generally depressed and unable to concentrate Your pattern of daily activity may change you find yourself awake and active in the middle of the night you sleep late into the day You stay in your room and have little contact with people except with those who speak your language In your mind you criticize the people around you You are constantly comparing between life here and the perfect life back home Above a11 you are homesick almost all the time If you ever find yourself behaving in these ways you are probably suffering from culture shock Culture shock is a psychological condition that sometimes has physical effects It affects people who have moved away from an environment where they know how to live into a new environment where much is unfamiliar to them the food the weather the language and especially the unwritten rules for social behavior Culture shock is caused therefore by a lack of familiarity with the system of rules that the new society uses for everyday living Language is an obvious example of one type of these rules If your language is limited even the simplest task can suddenly become difficult for you However knowledge of the language doesn t make you free from the effects of culture shock as many Britons in the United States and many Americans in Britain will experience Most people are unaware that each culture has its own rules for social behavior they certainly think that polite civilized people behave the same way worldwide This mistaken belief will cause you to behave and judge the behavior of others according to the rules you learned as a member of your own culture If the rules are different then people will misunderstand your behavior and you will misunderstand theirs How can you deal with culture shock First you need to realize that every newcomer suffers from some culture shock You re not the only case Second remember that culture shock can be cured The process of recovery will start as you begin to become used to the new culture Of course learning the language will help remove the obstacles to communication and will ease the job of making Mends with people Recognizing and learning the new cultural rules of behavior however may be just as important You ll still have emotional reactions to unfamiliar situations but you 11 find yourself making jokes about them rather than condemning the entire society as stupid The jokes are a good sign they show that you are recovering 67 What s the main idea of the first paragraph A the causes of culture shock B some signs of culture shock C the cure for culture shock D an explanation of culture shock 68 What does the underlined word obstacles mean A things that make a task easy B things that make at ask enjoyable C things that make a task difficult D things that make at ask funny 69 What can be concluded when you find yourself making jokes about new culture A You are about to recover from culture shock B You have completely got rid of culture shock C You never suffered from culture shock before D You re in culture shock for many years 70 Which of the following statements is true according to the passage A The passage suggests that culture shock makes you miss your family badly B A good knowledge of the language will prevent you suffering from culture shock 用心 爱心 专心7 C In the writer s opinion the social rules for polite civilized behavior are international D If you have a perfect knowledge of their language you will never be misunderstood 第四部分 任务型阅读 共第四部分 任务型阅读 共
