25、 part(here are four passages followed by some quests,each withfour suggested choices.Choose the one you think is the answer.Passage 1The term culture shock has already begun to creep into the popularvocabulary.Culture shock is the effect that immersion in a strange culture has onthe unprepared visit

27、ual to function in society are suddenly withdrawn and replaced by new onesthat are strange or incomprehensible.The culture shock phenomenon accounts for much of the bewilderment,frustration,and disorientation(hat plagues American in their dealings with othersocieties.Il causes a breakdown in communi
28、cation,a misreading of reality,aninability to cope.Yet culture shock is relatively mild in comparison with the muchmore serious malady,future shock.Future shock is the dizzying disorientationbrought on by the premature arrival of the future.It may well be the most importantdisease of tomorrow.Take a
29、n individual out of his own culture and set him down suddenly in anenvironment sharply different from his own.with a diflerenl set of cues to reactto-different conceptions of time,space,work,love,religion,sex and everythingelse-than cut him off from any hope of retreat to a more familiar social land
30、scape,and the dislocation he suffers is doubly severe.Moreover,if this new culture isitself in constant turmoil,and if worse yet its values are incessantly changing,thesense of disorientation will be still further intensified.Given few cues as to whatkind of behavior is rational under the radically
31、new circumstances,the victim maywell become a hazard io himself and others.2Now imagine not merely an individual but an entire society,an entiregeneration including its weakest,least intelligent,and most irrationalmembers-suddenly transported into this new world.The result is massdisorientation,futu
32、re shock on a grand scale.This is the prospect that man now faces.Change is avalanching upon ourheads and most people are absurdly unprepared to cope with it.I.Culture shock o c c u r s.A)where one can conduct negotiations for goods,of fixed pricesB)where people express ideas and emotions contrary t
33、o what they intend toexpressC)when value standards are so different that one is unable to make his ownjudgmentD)when one loses all hope of returning to his home environment2.One thing that is in common between culture shock and future shock is theA)constanl turmoil of the new culture itselfB)absence
34、 of a popular vocabularyC)constant and radical changesD)bewilderment and frustration of the victims3.It seems that one good measure to prevent future shock is for people to.A)cherish more hope for the futureB)replace conventional ideas with modem onesC)try to undersold what is happening and prepare
35、for the changesD)take a closer look at how people in other cultures behave4.This passage was probably written to.A)warn people today against what may happen to mo nowB)prcpare travelers for the unfamiliar environmentsC)help psychologists understand certain irrational behavior belterDjenable sociolog
36、ists to predict more accurately what will happen to mankind5.In the authors opinion,culture shock is.A)the product of some future societyB)the effect of a new culture on an unprepared visitorC)a term incomprehensive in the popular vocabularyD)a serous social malady in the fast changing societyPassag
37、e 2When dining in restaurants,Americans usually order drinks first,then soup,salad,main course or entree,and dessert at last.This is somewhat a different orderway from that in Europe.Until about the middle of the nineteenth century,Americans didnt have toworry about whether the salad came before or
38、after the main course since theydidnt eat salad at all.Chomping on greens was once considered sissy,andAmericans preferred to get their greens indirectly,after they had been processed byrabbits or deer.Tlie shift of public taste toward the salad may be attributed to NewYorks Delmonico brothers,who o
39、riginally introduced smorgasbord from Europe、and served it in their restaurant.Such novelties became so popular that by the endof the nineteenth century,the Waldorf salad has swept(he country.Europeans still chomp on greens after the main course,as a way of cleaningthe palate,and being ready for the
40、 cheese.Why Americans eat their salad first isuncertain.The following joking suggestions might make sense:the custom may berelated to the slimming craze,for salad first may fill you up without any worryabout fattening;to avoid customers impatience with waiting,the restaurant servessalad first to kee
41、p them busy while the main courses are being prepared:eating rawfood while one is waiting for the cooked food may be a way of announcing that oneis not wasting time,which is seen as a virtue;or probably unfair to the restaurant,this custom has been encouraged by the merchant as a trick the meagrenes
42、s of ameal is less noticeable if it comes aft ex flee salad-after all,rabbit food is muchcheaper than the rabbit.1.In American restaurants,people are usually served in the order of.A)soup,salad,main course,drinks and dessertB)drinks,salad,main course,soup and dessertC)drinks,soup,salad,main course a

44、ll3.The sentence Americans preferred to get their greens indirectly,after they hadbeen processed by rabbits or deer(Line 3,Para.2)meansA)Americans preferred to eat vegetables cooked with rabbits or deerB)Americans preferred vegetables digested by rabbits or deerC)Americans preferred meat to vegetabl
45、esD)Americans preferred vegetables to meat4.In the last sentence of the passage,rabbit food refers to.A)the salad B)food made of rabbit mealC)junk food D)food prepared for the rabbit5.Which of the following statements is true?A)Salad first appeared in America,and then was introduced to Europe.B)The
46、American tradition of eating salad before the main course was formedmainly for the sake of heahh.C)In less than fifty years,salad became popular throughout the United Slates.D)Serving salad before(he entree by the restaurants is a way of cheating thediners.Passage 3America is a big melting pot.This
47、is almost(he only thing I can rememberfrom the course American Society and Culture I look al college.Now,eventhough over a decade has passed,the definition our teacher gave is still clearlywritten in my mind:the melting pot here means that people with different culturaland ethnical backgrounds immig
48、rate to the State,live together,get mixed and buildup this wonderful culture that we call American culture today.The first time I came to America on a business trip,I visited New York City.There,walking along the famous 5th Avenue,I was simply excited.Surrounded bythis huge sea of people from all ov
49、er the world,I felt at ease with them,with myselfand most of all with the world I was in.I did not feel I was a stronger or a touristfrom another land;I just was part of it.The concept of a melting pot was further engraved in my mind when I appliedto the businessed school.All the schools I applied t
