marks)

the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer
sheet.
Section A (10 marks)
Questions 56—60 are based on the
following passage.
![2012大英赛试题 <wbr>C级]( "2012大英赛试题 <wbr>C级")
The term culture shock was
introduced for the first time in 1958 to describe the anxiety
produced when a person moves to a completely new environment. This
term expresses the feeling of not knowing what to do or how to do
things in a new environment. This term expresses the feeling of not
knowing what to do or how to do things in a new environment. We can
describe culture shock as the physical and emotional discomfort a
person suffers when coming to live in a place different from the
place of origin.
Often, the way that we live before is not accepted or
considered as normal in the new place. Everything is different, for
example, not speaking the language, not knowing how to use banking
machines, not knowing how to use telephones, and so
forth.
The symptoms of culture shock can appear at different times.
Although a person can experience real pain from culture shock, it
is also an opportunity for growing and learning new perspectives.
Culture shock can help people develop a better understanding of
themselves and stimulate personal creativity.
Culture shock has many stages. Each stage can be ongoing, or
appear only at certain times. In the first stage, the new arrival
may feel very happy about all of the new experience. This time is
called the honeymoon stage. Afterward, the second stage presents
itself. A person may encounter some difficulties in daily life. For
example, communication difficulties may occur, such as not being
understood. In this stage, there may be feelings of impatience,
anger and sadness. Transition between the old methods and those of
the new country is a difficult process and takes time to complete.
The third stage is characterized by gaining some understanding of
the new culture. A new feeling of pleasure and sense of humor may
be experienced. A person may start to feel a psychological balance.
The individual is more familiar with the environment and wants to
belong. This starts an evaluation of the old ways versus those of
the new. In the fourth stage, the person realizes that the new
culture has good and bad things to offer. This stage can be one of
double integration or triple integration, depending on the number
of cultures that the person has to process. This integration is
characterized by a more solid feeling of belonging. The person
starts to define himself or herself and establish goals for living.
The fifth stage is the stage that is called the reentry shock. This
occurs when a person returns to the newly acquired customs are
considered improper in the old culture.
Questions
56—60
Complete the summary with words from the passage, changing
the form where necessary, with only one word for each
blank.
Introduced in 1958, culture shock is a term used to (56)
__________ physical and emotional discomfort people experience when
they come to or live in a new place. Although many people suffer a
lot from culture shock, it is an (57) _________ for personal
improvement. The five stages of culture shock may last for a long
time or show up once in a while. In the first stage, the (58)
__________ stage, the new arrival might be OK with everything.
Afterward, (59) ________ from old methods to the new one calls for
time and energy. During the third and fourth stage, people may gain
more understanding of the new culture and possess objective views.
The double or triple integration is (60) __________ by a feeling of
belonging. The last stage, called reentry shock, refers to the
feeling people have when returning to their home
country.
Section B (10 marks)
Questions 61-65 are based on the following
passage.
For some people, it would be unthinkable. But Gabe Henderson
is finding freedom in a recent decision; he canceled his MySpace
account. The 26 years old graduate student stopped his account
after realizing that a lot of his online friends were really just
acquaintances. “The superficial emptiness clouded the excitement I
had once felt,” Henderson wrote in an article. “It seems we have
lost, to some degree, the special depth that true friendship is
about.”
Journalism professor Michael Bugeja, who is a strong
supporter of face-to-face communication, read Henderson’s column
and saw it was a sign of hope. Though he’s not anti-technology,
Bugeja often lectures students about “interpersonal
intelligence” —knowing when, where, and
for what purpose technology is most appropriate. He points out the
students he’s seen walking across campus, holding hands with each
other while talking on cell phones to someone else He’s also seen
them in coffee shops, surrounded by people, but staring instead at
a computer screen. “True friends,” he says, “need to learn when to
stop blogging and go across campus to help a friend.”
These days, young people are more wired than
ever—but they’re also getting more
worried. Increasingly, they’ve had to deal with online bullies, who
are posting anything from embarrassing photos to online threats.
And increasingly, young people also are realizing that things they
post on their profiles can come back to hurt them when applying for
schools or jobs.
Social networking can be an “extremely effective” way to
publicize events to large groups. It can even help build a sense of
community on campus. People joined Facebook as a way to meet
others. However, it has limitations. A good Internet profile could
make even the most boring person seem some what interesting. People
are also not always happy with text messages on the cell phones.
Cell phones can be a quick way to say “have a good day”. But
friends can also cancel a night out with a text message to avoid
having to explain. “Our generation needs to get over this fear of
confrontation and rejection.” Henderson says. “The focus needs to
be on quality communication, in all ways.” Back in his life,
Henderson is enjoying spending more face-to-face time with his
friends and less with his computer. He says his decision to quit
his social-networking Internet accounts was a good one. “I’m not
sacrificing friends,” he says, “because if a picture, some basic
information about their life and a Web page is all my friendship
has become, then there was nothing to sacrifice to begin
with.”
Questions
61—63
Decide whether the following statements aretrue (T) or
false (F) according to the passage.
61. Although Henderson quit MySpace, most of his online
friends are actually close friends.
62. According to Bugeja, young people should know when to use
technology and when to stop using it.
63. Social networking helps build a sense of community but
has a negative effect on young people’s life if it is used
inappropriately.
Questions
64—65
Answer the following questions briefly according to the
passage.
64. What does Henderson lose by using social networking
websites like Myspace?
65. What do young people need to overcome in order to focus
on quality communication?
Section C (10 marks)
![2012大英赛试题 <wbr>C级]( "2012大英赛试题 <wbr>C级")
Questions
66—70 are based on the following
passage.
“Five … Four
…Three …Two
…One …See ya! ” and
Chance McGuire, twenty-five, is airborne off a 600 –foot concrete
dam in Northern California. In one second he falls 15 feet, in two
seconds 60 feet, and after three seconds and 130 feet, he is flying
at 66 miles an hour.
McGuire is a practitioner of what he calls the king of all
extreme sports. BASE—an acronym for
building, antenna, span (bridge) and earth
(cliffs)—jumping has one of the sporting
world’s highest fatality rates: in its 18-year history, forty –six
participants have been killed. Yet the sport has never been more
popular, with more than a thousand jumpers in the United States,
and more seeking to get into it every day. It is an activity
without margin for error. If your chute malfunctions, don’t bother
researching for a reserve—there isn’t
time. There are no second chances.
Still, the sport may be a perfect fit with the times.
Americans may have more in common with McGuire than they know or
care to admit. America has embarked on a national orgy of thrill
seeking and risk taking. The rise of adventure and extreme sports
such as BASE jumping, snowboarding, ice climbing, skateboarding,
and paragliding is merely the most vivid manifestation of this new
national behavior.
The rising popularity of extreme sports speaks of an
eagerness on the part of millions of Americans to participate in
activities closer to the edge, where danger, skill, and fear
combine to give weekend warriors and professional athletes alike a
sense of pushing out personal boundaries. According to American
Sports Data Inc., a consulting firm, participation in so-called
extreme sports is way up. Snowboarding has grown 113 percent in
five years and now boasts nearly 5.5 million participants. Mountain
hiking, skateboarding, scuba diving—their
growth curves reveal a nation that loves to play with danger.
Contrast that with activities such as baseball, touch football, and
aerobics, all of which were in steady decline throughout the
1990s.
The pursuits that are becoming more popular have one thing in
common: the perception that they are somehow more challenging than
a game of touch football. “Every human being with two legs and two
arms is going to wonder how fast, how strong, how enduring he or
she is,” says Eric Perlman, a mountaineer and film maker
specializing in extreme sports. “We are designed to experience or
die.”
Questions
66—68
Complete the following sentences with information given in
the passage in a maximum of 4 words for each blank.
66. _______ rates doesn’t stop people from getting into BASE
jumping every day.
67. The rise of extreme sports manifests the national
behavior of _______ and ________.
68. The combination of fear, skill and danger gives both
amateurs and professionals a sense of ______.
Questions
69—70
Choose the best answer according to the passage.
69. Which of the following activities reveals a nation that
loves to play activities closer to the edge?
A. Touch football.
B. Baseball.
C. Scuba diving.
D.
Aerobics.
70. What does Eric mean by saying “We are designed to
experience or die”?
A. Life with great
challenges is a meaningful one.
B. Life without great
experiences is very common.
C. People may die
while doing extreme sports.
D. Extreme sports are
essential parts of human life.
Section D (10 marks)
Questions 71—75 are based on the following
passage.
Albert Einstein was one of the greatest thinkers the world
has ever known. He formulated theories of relativity, successfully
described the nature of the universe and came up with the most
famous equation in the world. David Beckham is the footballer whose
skills and precision have made him one of the most gifted sportsmen
of his generation. Who is more intelligent?
How Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences (MI) dares us
to put these two men on neighboring pedestals. Instead of regarding
intelligence as a single quantity measurable by pen-and-paper
tests, Gardner, an education professor at Harvard University,
divides human intelligence into no fewer than eight separate
categories ranging from mathematical to musical competence.
(74)His ideas have provoked vigorous debate about how one
defines intelligence. Gardner’s point is that quantity measures
only one capacity, the sort of mental agility that is valued in
academic achievement, and that this single number does not do
justice to human potential. So he has created his own spheres of
achievement. Some categories are easily reconcilable with general
perceptions about IQ. For example, “linguistic” intelligence
confers a mastery of language, and is the preserve of such people
as poets, writers and linguists. “Logical mathematical”
intelligence marks out people who take a reasoning approach to
physical things, and seek underlying principles. Einstein is the
standard –bearer of this group, which also includes philosophers.
These two categories are the main components of what we generally
think of as “intelligence”.
“Musical” intelligence characterizes musicians, composers and
conductors. “Spatial” intelligence is about being able to picture
perspective, to visualize a world in one’s head with great
accuracy. Chess players, artists and architects would rate highly
in this category. Dancers, athletes and actors are lumped under the
“bodily-kinesthetic” heading; these individual, like Beckham, are
able to control their bodies and movements very
carefully.
Then come two types of “personal” intelligence-intrapersonal,
the ability to gauge one’s own mood, feelings and mental states,
and interpersonal, being able to gauge it in others and use the
information. These two categories could be interpreted as emotional
intelligence. Psychiatrists are particularly adept at the former,
while religious leaders and politicians are seen as people who can
exploit the latter.
Charles Darwin is perhaps the perfect embodiment of the
eighth intelligence –“naturalist”. This label describes people with
a deep understanding of the natural world and its objects.
Zoologists and botanists can count themselves among this
group.
(75)These eight categories certainly reflect the fact that,
in these areas, there is a spectrum of human ability ranging from
the hopeless to the brilliant. But are these really intelligences,
or could these competences be more accurately described as gifts or
talents?
Questions 71—73
Answer the following questions briefly according to the
passage.
71. What are the main components of “intelligence” we
generally think of?
72. What kind of abilities does emotional intelligence
involve?
73. Which intelligences are represented by Einstein and
Beckham respectively?
Questions 74—75
Translate the underlined sentences in the passage into
Chinese.
74. His ideas have provoked vigorous debate about how one
defines intelligence.

in these areas, there is a spectrum of human ability ranging from

China is now experiencing the largest mass
migration of people, an estimated 230 million (2010), from the
countryside to cities in history. They’ve brought economy boom to
cities and life improvement to their own families. However, this
migration leaves land in the countryside uncultivated and children
of migrant workers poorly educated.

development?
Write your article in about 140 words in an
