SECTION A MINI-LECTUREDirections: In this section you sill hear a

mini-lecture. You will hear the lecture ONCE ONLY. While listening, take notes on

the important points. Your notes will not be marked, but you will need them to

complete a gap-filling task after the mini-lecture. When the lecture is over, you will be

given two minutes to check your notes, and another ten minutes to complete the

gap-filling task on ANSWER SHEET ONE. Use the blank sheet for note-taking.

听力原文: Good morning. The topic for today’s lecture is culture shock.

Culture shock is that...experience, often a somewhat painful experience that we have

when we go from our home country to another country, particularly for the first time

that we’ve gone overseas. We grow up in our home culture, accustomed to many,

many things around us that we take for granted. We are very, very familiar with them.

Now suddenly as we get ready to go off to another country, we are going to encounter

many new things. And we’ll react in some very strange ways. This is what we call

culture shock. Let’s talk about some phases or stages of culture shock. I’m going

to talk about five stages. The first one is sensory overload. When we first arrive in the

new country, we are going to see many new things, new and different from what we

are accustomed to. The landscape may look different, the buildings may look different,

the people may look different, the, uh, the behavior of people may look different, the

vehicles that we see may be different, so many new things that are kind of exciting to

us, and we just take in a lot of new stimuli until we are just saturated with it after a

couple of days. That’s what we call sensory overload. Another phase is one of

helplessness. Before long, we are going to find that there are more and more things

that we cannot do very easily. whether it’s, uh, uh, in shopping, or, are going to be

areas where we’re going to feel helpless much like a child that’s learning about life,

but needs an adult to help him through it. We’ are gong to feel isolated, thirdly, at

times when we can’t communicate effectively...uh, we’re just not getting through to

people, or maybe people aren’t caring enough about us or, we may think they aren’t

caring enough about us, and we will feel isolated. Fourthly, we may become

depressed at times, particularly at the time of holidays. That’s always a time that we

want to feel good, we think about our family. We think about our friends, think about

the good times. And here we are in a strange land. We don’t have our family and

friends. And get depressed. And fifthly, one of the things that happens is that as

we run into more and more obstacles, more and more frustrations in the new country,

we start thinking about the old country where we came from and how good things

were there, how smoothly everything went. I never had this problem, just didn’t have

them. OK, those are five of the phases, then, of culture shock. Now we’ll turn our

attention to some areas of life that can cause culture shock. One of them is the arrival

itself. When we arrive in the new country, we see so many new things. And that’s

shocking to us. We’re not accustomed to it. Secondly, the greetings. We’re

accustomed to certain greetings in our homeland. For example, we may have the

expression that says something like “How much money do you make?” very common

expression. But suddenly if you use the same expression for a greeting in the new

country, we may get a very negative response, because a person may think we are

prying into their personal business. And we’re shocked by that. We don’t expect it,

don’t understand it. Thirdly, we notice that physical contact in the new land may

be quite different. We may be shocked to find that in the new country, women and

men have much more physical contact with each other in public than we’re

accustomed to, and we’re shocked by it. This adds more to our culture shock.

Fourthly, we may find that people require more or less personal space between them

than we’re accustomed to. We may find that as we’re talking with somebody that

person will be backing away from us as we’re talking. Or, a person may be moving on,

towards you, and you don’t understand why. That can be a shock to the system as well.

Fifthly, the area of language. It’s going to be a difficult one, if you are in a country

(1)Distant indeed seem the days when the two great rivals of

commercial aviation, Boeing and Airbus, would use big air shows to

trumpet hundreds of new orders. This year's Paris Air Show was a much

more sombre affair, even if the Boeing-Airbus feud still took centre stage.

(2)There were one or two bright spots. Airbus was able to boast of a

firm order for ten of its wide-body A350s from AirAsia X. John Leahy, its

top salesman, expects deliveries in 2009 to match the record 483 in 2008.

Boeing, which was hit by a prolonged strike last year, will probably

deliver more aircraft this year than last. Both firms built up huge

backlogs in the fat years: each has orders for about 3,500 planes.

第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一道小题,从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项,并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后,你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。

听力原文:W: Have you ever gone cycling?M: No. But I’d like to have a go at it

some day. It’s a lot of fun.

1. What does the man mean?

A.He doesn’t like cycling.

B.He wants to try it some day.

C.He thinks it’s not funny.

正确答案:B

解析:该对话中女士问男士是否骑过自行车,男士回答:”No. But I’d like

to have a go at it some day.It’s a lot of fun.”意思是:他没有骑过,但他想试一试,他认为这很有趣。这里的have a go at something是短语,意思是尝试“干某事”,是解题的关键。 [A]选项表示他不喜欢骑自行车,与原文意思相悖;[B]选项表示他想试一试,与原文意思一致;[C]选项表示他认为骑自行车没有趣,与原文意思相悖。所以正确答案为[B]选项。 知识模块:听力推理题
