高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Growing up in one of the toughest neighborhoods in New York City, my life was not always easy. My mother raised us in a city-owned apartment and my father suffered from drug problems. However, there was love at home. Quite often, my mother would have movie nights with us. One night, my mom came home with the movie To Sir, With Love, starring Sidney Poitier. In this movie, Mr. Poitier played a handsome, well-dressed, educated but strict teacher. As I watched, I was reminded of someone who I admired — Mr. John Walker.

Mr. Walker was my fifth-grade teacher. I remember getting my report card on the last day of fourth grade and seeing the words “New Teacher: Mr. Walker”. I was excited because I’d never had a male teacher before. On my first day of fifth grade, Mr. Walker laid down the class rules. I sat at my desk nervously, thinking, “How do I get out of his class?” I had no idea is class would be one of the most influential times in my life.

Mr. Walker always brought active things to our lives. He would give us weekly speeches, telling us that we didn’t have to be products of our environments — doing had things or spending a life in prison. Mr. Walker always told us that we could do anything we wanted to do.

The first time I ever left New York City was for a school trip on a farm that Mr. Walker arranged for us. It was an overnight trip. We prepared for months by holding bake sales to raise money. Mr. Walker worked so hard. He wanted us to experience life outside of our own small world.

One day, Mr. Walker said we could put on a play in class. He said, “Waliek, this is your chance to show us what you’ve got, so if you want the lead part, you’d better go home and learn it by tomorrow.” I ran home and remembered the whole play in one night. I think I did this more for Mr. Walker. He knew that I wanted to be an entertainer (表演者) and he believed in me. So he gave me that chance.

Another day, the school had a special performance and we noticed that Mr. Walker brought a special briefcase with him. As the host called on him, our class became nervous with excitement and curiosity. He opened his special briefcase and pulled out a gold trumpet (喇叭). Before he started, he devoted his performance to all the students, especially our class. It was the most beautiful music I’d ever heard. I was so shocked and amazed. My teacher was not only one of the coolest, best dressed, educated men, but he was also an entertainer — just like me.

When I created my list of people who had a great influence on me, there was no doubt in my mind that Mr. Walker topped my list. He changed the course of my life.

1.Why is Sidney Poitier mentioned in Paragraph 1?

A. To remember the author’s difficult childhood.

B. To introduce Mr. John Walker.

C. To recall the movie nights.

D. To review a movie.

2.On hearing the class rules given by Mr. Walker, the author _____.

A. disliked them

B. was excited

C. was embarrassed

D. thought them influential

3.In order to open the mind of his students, Mr. Walker _____.

A. gave them speeches weekly

B. asked them to put on a play

C. arranged trips for them

D. held bake sales

4.What can we learn about the author from the passage?

A. He went to the cinema quite often during childhood.

B. He never left New York City during childhood.

C. He liked performing very much.

D. His father died from drug use.

5.What can we learn from Paragraph 6?

Specialists（专家） say it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. “Culture shock” is what these specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. There are three stages of culture shock, say the specialists. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to get used to their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more.

There are some evident factors（因素）in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systems-the telephones, post office, or transportation－may be difficult to work out. The simplest things seem to be big problems. The language may be difficult.

Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their own country. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same positions they have back home. They find themselves without any identify. They have to build a new self－image.

Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of helplessness. This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create an escape inside their room for a sense of security（安全）. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short time, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience－these are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.

1.When people move to a new country, they _________.

A. will get used to their new surroundings with difficulty

B. have well prepared for the new surroundings

C. will get used to the culture of the country quickly

D. will never be familiar with culture of the country

2.According to the passage, factors that give rise to culture shock include all of the following except __________.

A. language communication　　 B. weather conditions and customs

C. public service systems　　 D. homesickness

3.According to the passage, the more successful you are at home, ________.

A. the fewer difficulties you may have abroad

B. the more difficulties you may have abroad

C. the more money you will earn abroad

D. the less homesick you may feel abroad

4.The writer tells us that the best way to overcome culture shock is to _______.

A. protect ourselves from unfamiliar environment

B. develop a strange sense of self-protection

C. get familiar with new culture

D. return to our own country

There are three stages of culture shock, say the specialists. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to (适应) their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more.

There are some obvious factors in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systems—the telephone, post office, or transportation—may be difficult to work out. The simplest things seem to be big problems. The language may be difficult.

Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their home countries and were successful in their community. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity. They have to build a new self-image.

Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation. This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick(想家), people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create an escape inside their room for a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience—these are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.
