2、e to understand our conversations.Words can mean so many different things.However, it turns out that the speaking situation helps a lot in making language work.First，the speaking situation helps make words more particular.For example，the word “dog” can describe a dog that a speaker saw in a dream.It

3、 can also be used to discuss a neighbors dog.No language has a separate word for the idea “dog that I saw yesterday” and another word for the idea “dog that I saw in a dream”This is because the speaking situation makes it clear what speakers mean when they use words.So，when you have a conversation w

4、ith your neighbor, the knowledge that you have a dog tells your neighbor what the word “dog” probably means in that situation.The speaking situation also helps make language clearer.For example，the word “bank” has two possible meanings.It can mean “a place where people keep money” ，but it can also m

22、culture may go through some form of culture shock, and its degree is determined by the differences between cultures, the anxiety to adapt to a new culture and the familiarity with a new culture, etc.If you go, for example, to a culture that is far different from your own, youre likely to experience

23、culture shock more sharply than those who move to a new culture knowing the language and the customs of it.It is important to understand and learn how to deal with culture shock if you adapt successfully to your new homes culture.There are four general stages of cultural adjustment, and being aware

28、ew challenges with humor rather than anxiety.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了来到异国他乡的人们多多少少会遇到一些文化冲击，他们在文化适应的过程中往往要经历四个阶段，了解这些阶段可以让人们明白：文化冲击只是阶段性的，不会持久。8According to the passage, culture shock can be .Adealt with more easily for some peopleBreduced by learning the language aloneCavoided by knowing adjustment s

29、tagesDgot rid of by learning just the customs【解析】根据第一段最后一句中的“youre likely to experience culture shock more sharply than those who move to a new culture knowing the language and the customs of it”可推断，文化冲击对于某些人来说比较容易处理。故选A项。【答案】A9The “honeymoon” stage here refers to .Athe first month after the wedding

30、Bthe period of excitementCthe stage of adaptationDthe holiday for a newlymarried couple【解析】根据第三段第二、三句“Upon arriving in a new environment，youll be interested in the new culture.Everything will seem thrilling.”可推断，“honeymoon”是一个令人兴奋的阶段。故B项正确。【答案】B10Which of the following doesnt belong to the second st

33、文化适应的第四个阶段。故选D项。【答案】DDDuring lectures, my students often ask which is the most difficult language to learn.Its not easy to answer because there are many factors to take into consideration.For a persons first language these factors are unimportant because people learn their mother tongue naturally.So

34、 the question of how hard a language is to learn is only relevant when learning a second language.Studies have shown that native speakers of Spanish find Portuguese much easier to learn than, say, native speakers of Chinese, because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish, while Chinese is very differ

35、ent.So a persons first language affects their learning of a second language.The greater the differences between a second language and the first, the harder it will be for most people to learn.Many Westerners think that Chinese is the hardest language to learn because of its writing system and pronun

36、ciation.But for Japanese speakers, who already use Chinese characters in their own language, learning writing is less difficult than for speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet.A recent study reported that British embassy staff found that the second hardest language to learn was Japanese.More

37、 surprising was the language that they found most problematicHungarian.In this case the issue was not the writing system (as both English and Hungarian use a similar alphabet) but grammatical complexity.Hungarian has 35 cases (forms of a noun according to whether it is subject, object, genitive, etc

38、.) and it was this that caused the British diplomatic personnel most difficulty.One suspects they would have even more problems with Tabassaran, a Caucasian language with 48 cases, if they ever had to learn it.Teachers and the circumstances in which a language is learned also play important roles, a

39、s does each learners motivation for learning.If people learn a language because they need to use it professionally, they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their daytoday life.Put simply, no language is easy to learn well, though languages which are relat

40、ed to our first language are easier.Learning a completely different writing system is a huge challenge, but that does not necessarily make a language more difficult than another.In the end, it is impossible to say that there is one language that is the most difficult language in the world.【语篇解读】本文是一

41、篇夹叙夹议文。作者认为没有一种语言是世界上最难学的语言，因为影响语言学习的因素是多方面的，包括一个人的第一语言与新语言的相似度、老师的指导、学习环境以及学习动机等方面。12According to the passage, who is likely to have the most difficulty learning a new language?AA Korean person learning French.BA Spanish person learning Portuguese.CA German person learning English.DA Chinese person

42、 learning Japanese.【解析】根据文章第二段中的“So a persons first language affects their learning of a second language.The greater the differences between a second language and the first，the harder it will be for most people to learn.”可知，一个人的第一语言影响了其第二语言的学习，如果这两种语言差别越大，则其第二语言越难学。由此可推出，四个选项中，韩国人学法语最难。故答案选A。【答案】A13
