support on Wednesday as unions and students joined in, speaking out against Wall Street greed and economic inequality. With the protests developing from a group of young people's camping out near the New York Stock Exchange on Sept.17 to large­scale movements across the country and around the world, people can't help asking：What has led to “ Occupy Wall Street” ?Usually, rebellious movements can be easily set off by depression and recession(衰退). Three years after the severe economic crisis, the US. economy now is stuck again. Protesters are not satisfied with the present economic situation since unemployment rate is above 9 percent and economic growth has slowed.The housing market is still struggling for a recovery three years after the bubble burst. People are losing their houses even after they have paid a large amount of mortgage(抵押)It is getting difficult for young people to find jobs. People fear that a similar crisis like the one in 2008 may be already on its way.It is Wall Street that possesses the most riches, filled with greed and corruption. It is Wall Street greed that, at least partly, led to the financial crisis and economic recession in 2008. It is Wall Street's “fat cats” who take taxpayers' aid money as their own big bonus. With the growing economic crisis around the world, people realize that Wall Street is responsible for it. So they try to target people who created the crisis.The majority of the protesters are young people under 30. Many of them are unemployed.Some are students with mountains of loans. Some are hard­working people about to lose their houses. They are complaining that the hard­working middle class is getting poor, while Wall Street stays wealthy.William Cohan, author of Money and Power: How Goldman Sachs Came to Rule the World, wrote recently that Wall Street not only learned nothing from the 2008 crisis, they are also trying to kill all reforms that might “break this dangerous cycle in which bankers get very rich while the rest of working people suffer from their mistakes”【語篇解讀】 “占領(lǐng)華爾街”運(yùn)動(dòng)自2011年9月開始以來迅速從華爾街蔓延到整個(gè)美國，甚至波及其他國家。本文作者分析了“占領(lǐng)華爾街”運(yùn)動(dòng)發(fā)起的原因。 36What is the main idea of the passage?AThe cause of the“Occupy Wall Street”movement.BThe demand of the protesters of the“Occupy Wall Street”movement.CThe popularity of the“Occupy Wall Street”movement.DThe development of the“Occupy Wall Street”movement.解析主旨大意題。通讀本文可知，本文主要分析了“占領(lǐng)華爾街”運(yùn)動(dòng)發(fā)起的原因。故A項(xiàng)最具有概括性。答案A37. According to the second paragraph, what set off the“Occupy Wall Street”movement?AThe housing market.BThe bad economic situation.CThe mortgage.DThe high unemployment rate.解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Usually，rebellious movements can be easily set off by depression and recession(衰退)”及“Protesters are not satisfied with the present economic situation” 等信息可知目前美國不景氣的經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢引發(fā)了“占領(lǐng)華爾街”運(yùn)動(dòng)。答案B38. People are afraid that_.Athe bankers will become greedierBthe movement will not get enough supportCWall Street learned nothing from the 2008 economic crisisDanother economic crisis is likely to happen解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“People fear that a similar crisis like the one in 2008 may be already on its way.”可知人們擔(dān)心類似2008年的經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)再度發(fā)生。故D項(xiàng)正確。答案D39We can learn from the passage that Wall Street is the symbol of_in the USA.Acivilization BpowerCwealth Dfashion解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段對華爾街的描述可知華爾街擁有美國最多的財(cái)富，是美國財(cái)富的象征，故C項(xiàng)正確。答案CB“You're going to the United States to live? How wonderful！You're really lucky！”Does this sound familiar? Perhaps your family and friends said similar things to you when you left home. But does it seem true all the time? Is your life in this new country always wonderful and exciting? A great many facts show that it's not easy for newcomers to adjust to life in a new culture. They have to experience culture shock. What causes culture shock? Maybe the weather is unpleasant. Perhaps the customs are different. Perhaps the public service systems such as the telephone，post office, or transportation are difficult to figure out and you make mistakes. The simplest things seem difficult. The language may be difficult. The food may seem strange to you. If you don't look similar to the natives, you may feel strange. You may feel as if everyone is watching you. In fact, you_are_always_watching_yourself. Everyone experiences culture shock in some form or another. But culture shock comes as a surprise to most people. A lot of the time, the people with the worst culture shock are the people who never had any difficulties in their own countries. They were active and successful in their community (社區(qū)). They had hobbies or pastimes which they enjoyed. When they come to a new country, they do not have the same positions or hobbies as they already had in their countries. They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity. They have to build a new selfimage. Culture shock produces a feeling of disorientation (暈頭轉(zhuǎn)向), which may be homesickness, imagined illness, or even paranoia (妄想癥). When people feel the disorientation of culture shock, they sometimes feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the unfamiliar environment. They want to create an escape within their room to give themselves a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to familiarize the person more with the culture. Familiarity and experience are the long term ways to settle the problem of culture shock. 【語篇解讀】 在人們看來，移居海外是件非常幸運(yùn)的事情，然而由于氣候、風(fēng)俗、語言等方面的差異而造成的“culture shock”是件令人頭痛的事情，文章向我們介紹了新移民們應(yīng)該如何適應(yīng)這些差異。40. Who is the passage mainly for?AThe family and friends of those who came to the US. BThose who have got rid of culture shock. CPeople who have just moved to a foreign country. DPeople who can easily adjust to their life in the US. 解析文章向我們介紹了來到異國他鄉(xiāng)，應(yīng)如何克服“culture shock”，適應(yīng)新環(huán)境的問題，也就是說是寫給那些剛移居國外的人的。答案C41. The underlined part “you are always watching yourself”(in Paragraph 3)means_. Ayou are always feeling homesickByou are always worried too much about yourselfCyou are always looking at yourself in the mirrorDyou are always nervous about meeting other people解析由上一句“You may feel as if everyone is watching you.”可以看出這種感覺是因?yàn)閷ψ约哼^度擔(dān)心而造成的。答案B42. Which of the following would be a case of culture shock for newcomers?AThey have trouble using public telephones. BTheir positions or hobbies stay the same. CThey are active and successful in the new community. DThey have got used to the life in the new country. 解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段中的“Perhaps the public service systems such as the telephone.”可得出答案。答案A43. Which of the following may cause newcomers to lack a sense of security?AA new identity. BLocal food.CA new self image. DStrange environment. 解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由倒數(shù)第一段中的“They want to protect themselves from the unfamiliar environment. They want to create an escape within their room to give themselves a sense of security.”可知答案。答案DCNew York City consists of five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens，the Bronx and Staten Island.The population is about 7.5 million living in Manhattan.

It's a mid­sized city in what's called the plateau(high land)，between the Atlantic Coast and the inland mountains in the state of North Carolina.The Winston part is a relatively new place, founded early this century. It's home to the nation's biggest open­air tobacco market.The giant R JReynolds Tobacco Company's head­quarters is in Winston­Salem, and Winston is the name of one of Reynolds' best­known cigarette brands. Fast­growing Winston soon surrounded the much older town of Salem，so in 1913, people in the area­voted to combine them into a single place.From a historical and tourist point of view, Salem, or Old Salem, as it's called today, is the interesting and unusual part of town.Salem was founded in the 1700s by the Moravians. They spoke German, and their community was religiously based, with single men and single women living apart in separate dormitories. The Moravians greatly valued women's work and brainpower. In fact, one of the nation's oldest boarding schools for young womenthe Moravians' Salem Academy founded in 1772is still in operation.Over the years, Salem lost its Moravian character. That all changed, though, when a nonprofit g
