Question

【題目】Do you want to know about my staying in America? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience study here.

In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didn’t know how different between textbook English and everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.

When I first studied English, I was told to say, “I am fine.” when people say “How are you?” But in the US, I found that people say,“I am good.”or“I am tired.”

One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up?” It made me confused（困惑的）. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn't know what to say.

Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures. To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan. However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter.”

I also surprised by how hard-working. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard. But here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music.

The kids here are so talented, I feel sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.

【解析】本文主要介紹了作者在美國學(xué)習(xí)的經(jīng)歷。作者用具體的例子來說明美國人與中國人在中西方文化上的差異性。教科書英語與日常英語不同，同時發(fā)現(xiàn)美國的女孩更喜歡在太陽下將皮膚曬黑，更重要的一點是，在本國學(xué)生的成績是唯一評價的標準，而在美國，一名好學(xué)生，必須學(xué)習(xí)成績好，公益活動做的多，要多參與體育鍛煉和音樂方面的活動。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的句子“I didn't know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School，Connecticut.”直到我來到康涅狄格州的Hotchkiss School，我才知道教科書英語與日常英語的不同，故答案是A。

【2】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)后面的句子However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or“whiter.” 然而，在中國，女孩想盡一切辦法讓自己的皮膚蒼白，前面應(yīng)該是美國女孩想變黑，故答案是C。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的句子But here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music. 可知，在美國，一名"好"學(xué)生，必須學(xué)習(xí)成績好，公益活動做的多，要多參與體育鍛煉和音樂方面的活動，故答案為D。

【4】細節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)第五段的句子“To my surprise，the US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun getting a tan（曬黑）.”令我驚訝的是，美國女孩花了很多時間在灼熱的太陽下曬黑．B項與文章表達不符，故B項錯誤，其余三項均符合文章的意思。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段You want to know about my staying in America，right？Well，to tell you the truth，it is really an eye-opening experience to study her你想知道我在美國的生活嗎？好吧，說實話，在這里學(xué)習(xí)真是大開眼界，后文用具體的例子來說明作者在美國的學(xué)習(xí)經(jīng)歷，故答案為C。
