Balochistan： Nature’s Bounty Unveiled
Stretching across vast expanses，Balochistan is Pakistan’s largest province，boasting not only abundant mineral resources but unique natural beauty. Its mountain ranges，mines and extensive coastal belt，which is home to the prosperous Gwadar Port，attract adventurers.

Sindh： A Tapestry of History and Culture
Sindh，in Pakistan’s southern region，weaves together a tale of history and natural beauty. It is home to the ancient city of Mohenjo-Daro，a relic of the Indus Valley Civilisation，along with the modern city of Karachi and its picturesque coastline.
Northern Pakistan： Nature’s Masterpiece
Spread over 72，496 square kilometres，Pakistan’s northern regions are a masterpiece of nature. Among towering peaks，including numerous summits over 8，000 metres，peaceful valleys like Gilgit，Hunza and Skardu offer a brief escape.

说明文 文化冲击 ★★★ 8 min P42
　　When Mark Twain visited Florence (佛罗伦萨) in 1867，he dutifully visited the city’s museums，churches，and tombs. But as he stood by the Arno，he began to sense the Italians’ insistence that it was a river，not a stream. “They all call it a river，and they honestly think it is a river，do these dark and bloody Florentines，” he complained，“I might enter Florence under happier circumstances a month hence and find it all beautiful，all attractive. But I do not care to think of it now，at all.”
It’s normal to feel uncomfortable outside your home culture. Feelings of discomfort，dislocation，and overload among travellers are referred to by many as “culture shock”. But Susan Goldstein，a professor at the University of Redlands says，“Though the term has existed for many years，‘Culture shock’ implies a dramatic，unexpected，negative event. Though many travellers will experience such challenges，a real sense of ‘shock’ is untypical. So untypical that many researchers no longer use the term.”
It was the vivid description of culture shock by Canadian researcher Oberg，written in 1960 in response to his own multicultural experiences，that won over audiences. The researcher spoke of the adjustment process as “an occupational disease of people who have suddenly been transplanted abroad”—a “disease” that progressed from a honeymoon phase，through rejecting the new environment，to finally adjusting fully to it. By the 1970s many researchers adopted the idea that，like physical illnesses，culture shock progressed through a remarkably consistent and universal set of stages.
Modern research，however，suggests that the experiences of adaptation are individual，not universal. “People will have their ups and downs，but for the most part，they will become increasingly comfortable and competent over time，” Goldstein says. And while many connect the causes of culture shock to the host culture itself，an individual’s internal expectations and differences are just as important.
As for Mark Twain，the moody author was able to ride out his feelings of upset and dislocation while travelling. He eventually finished out his European tour—and in his bestselling travel memoir The Innocents Abroad，famously remarked that travel is “fatal to prejudice and narrow-mindedness”. With the right attitude—and the willingness to seek help if you need it—it’s more than likely that you，too，can adapt and grow in new settings，building new memories and toughness—with each new stamp in your passport.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“文化冲击”的概念，人们对异国他乡适应过程的理解，以及通过旅行获得成长和新的体验的可能性。
(　　)4.How did Mark Twain feel about Italians’ insistence
A.Annoyed. B.Calm.
C.Uninterested. D.Curious.
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“‘They all call it a river，and they honestly think it is a river，do these dark and bloody Florentines，’ he complained”可推知，Mark Twain对意大利人的坚持是生气的。
A
(　　)5.What can be inferred about culture shock
A.It would lead to physical diseases.
B.It was regarded as an avoidable thing.
C.It was named for people’s adjustment.
D.It had gained wide acceptance by the 1970s.
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“By the 1970s many researchers adopted the idea that，like physical illnesses，culture shock progressed through a remarkably consistent and universal set of stages.”可推知，到20世纪70年代，文化冲击被广泛接受。
D
(　　)6.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A.Suggestions about culture shock.
B.A change in understanding culture shock.
C.Stress of the importance of culture shock.
D.A criticism of previous idea of culture shock.
【解析】 段落大意题。通读第四段的内容可知，本段介绍了对于文化冲击理解的改变。
B
(　　)7.Why is Mark Twain mentioned in the last paragraph
A.To remember him. B.To inform and anticipate.
C.To conclude and encourage. D.To make the ending humorous.
【解析】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“travel is ‘fatal to prejudice and narrow-mindedness’. With the right attitude—and the willingness to seek help if you need it—it’s more than likely that you，too，can adapt and grow in new settings，building new memories and toughness—with each new stamp in your passport.”可推知，最后一段提到Mark Twain的目的是总结全文，鼓励读者采取正确的态度。

语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者以自己在加拿大坐车给司机小费的事为例子，引出了文章主题：不同国家的小费习俗存在差异，有时会造成混乱。
(　　)8.A.helplessly　 B.curiously C.secretly　 D.strangely
【解析】 考查副词。根据下文可知，作者没有钱，所以在回来的路上作者一直暗自担忧给司机小费的事。
(　　)9.A.selected　 B.fished C.weighed　 D.calculated
【解析】 考查动词。根据下文中的“nervously in my purse and realised that all I had was a $100 note”可知，作者紧张地在钱包里摸找，想找到钱。fish此处为熟词生义，意为“摸；找”。
(　　)10.A.emergency　 B.tip C.award　 D.deal
【解析】 考查名词。根据上文中的“all I had was a $100 note，which I was keeping for”可知，作者钱包里只有一张100美元的钞票，这是留着应急的。
(　　)11.A.buried　 B.lost C.stuck　 D.locked
C
B
A
【解析】 考查动词。根据上文中的“I couldn’t tip him”可知，作者钱包里只有应急的100美元，但作者又不能不给小费，所以作者陷入进退两难的境地。be stuck between a rock and a hard place意为“陷入进退两难的境地”，为固定短语。
C
(　　)12.A.gratitude　 B.permission C.help　 D.change
【解析】 考查名词。根据上文中的“I handed in the note at last，controlling the urge to ask for”和上文提到的作者并不富有可知，此处指作者控制住了要求找零的冲动。
(　　)13.A.common　 B.awkward C.necessary　 D.active
【解析】 考查形容词。根据下文中的“Such an embarrassed mess”可知，小费一直是世界各地尴尬互动的一个来源。
(　　)14.A.vary　 B.spread C.grow　 D.work
【解析】 考查动词。根据下文中的“wildly from country to country”以及下文所举的例子可知，不同国家的小费习俗差异很大。
(　　)15.A.panic　 B.harm C.bond　 D.confusion
D
B
A
【解析】 考查名词。根据下文中的“Such an embarrassed mess”可知，此处指不同国家的小费习俗差异很大，造成了不小的混乱。
D
(　　)16.A.amuse　 B.astonish C.annoy　 D.satisfy
【解析】 考查动词。根据上文中的“tips are low”和下文中的“people in Las Vegas with their tiny offerings”及“high-tipping Americans”可知，挪威人习惯低小费，所以他们提供的微不足道的小费可能会惹恼习惯高小费的拉斯维加斯人。
(　　)17.A.Therefore　 B.Likewise C.Otherwise　 D.Furthermore
【解析】 考查副词。根据逻辑可知，上下文都在举例说明不同国家的小费习俗差异很大，造成了不小的混乱，所以此处表示“同样地”。
(　　)18.A.matter　 B.choice C.way　 D.trick
【解析】 考查名词。根据上文中的“good service in Japan”和下文中的“of honour”可知，此处指在日本，良好的服务是一个荣誉问题。a matter of意为“……的问题”，为固定搭配。
C
B
A
(　　)19.A.official　 B.convenient C.practical　 D.consistent
【解析】 考查形容词。根据上文中的“Such an embarrassed mess often occurs”并结合上一段小费差异的例子可知，这种尴尬的混乱经常发生的原因在于各个国家之间没有一致的小费文化逻辑。
(　　)20.A.found　 B.ensured C.confirmed　 D.witnessed
【解析】 考查动词。根据下文中的“that people are twice as likely to tip a supermarket delivery person than a supermarket store worker”可知，以下是研究的发现。
(　　)21.A.assumption　 B.concept C.difference　 D.accident
【解析】 考查名词。根据上文中的“people are twice as likely to tip a supermarket delivery person than a supermarket store worker”可知，人们给超市送货员小费的可能性是给超市店员的两倍，这是一种差异。
D
A
C
(　　)22.A.pays off　 B.takes place C.takes effect　 D.makes sense
【解析】 考查动词短语。根据上文中的“And nobody can work out the reasons”和下文中的“in terms of what has become customary”可知，没有人知道为什么存在小费差异，或许唯一一个讲得通的解释是给谁小费取决于习惯。
