However，life overseas is not always easy，and many are not prepared for the shock of living in an alien culture.‎ The honeymoon period 15‎ At first，for those who actually decide to move abroad，life is an exciting adventure.They enjoy exploring their new surroundings，and life seems like an extended holiday.They don't mind trying the local cuisine and discovering the local culture.They can even afford to practise their foreignlanguage skills without fear of making mistakes.‎ Trouble in paradise In many cases，when people consider moving to another country，they often fail to realize how different life will be.As time goes by，they become frustrated when language and cultural misunderstandings become a daily headache.In this stage，the visitors begin to withdraw from life in the host country and avoid spending time with local people in favour of mixing with others from their own cultural background.‎ The road to recovery Gradually，most visitors realize they must accept the differences and not fight against them.This change encourages them to improve their language skills and slowly they manage to do the things they could easily do at home，such as opening a bank account.This newfound confidence enables them to see a side of life which very few tourists get to witness.‎ Adjusting to life abroad can often be a real problem.The secret to overcome it is to stop trying to change your host country：you will not succeed.If not，you risk losing your dream and having to return to the old life you wanted to leave behind.‎ ‎【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。许多人因为喜欢冒险和探索而移居国外生活，但文化的差异和语言的不同又使得他们很沮丧。本文建议移居国外的人最好能够学好当地语言以适应当地生活。‎ ‎5．Why do people moving abroad feel excited at first?‎ A．They find foreign living much easier.‎ B．They have the necessary language skills.‎ C．They love the adventure and exploration.‎ D．They enjoy meeting people from different cultures.‎ C　[细节理解题。该题问的是移居海外的人最初感到兴奋的原因。根据The honeymoon period 部分第一、二句可知，因为他们喜欢冒险和探索，所以会感到兴奋。故选C。]‎ ‎6．According to the author，what is the main problem many people moving abroad face?‎ A．Homesickness.‎ B．Culture shock.‎ 15‎ C．Health problems.‎ D．Lack of employment.‎ B　[细节理解题。根据Trouble in paradise部分第二句以及联系本段内容可知，许多移居海外的人面临的主要问题是文化冲击。故选B。]‎ ‎7．What would the author suggest people moving abroad do?‎ A．Study the local language.‎ B．Go on holidays frequently.‎ C．Learn how to open a bank account.‎ D．Seek out people from their home country.‎ A　[推理判断题。根据The road to recovery 部分第二句以及最后一段可知， 作者建议移居海外的人学习当地的语言，这样才能够适应海外的生活。故选A。]‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 ‎(2017年辽宁省部分重点高中第三次统考)When apologizing，chances are that you've uttered the phrase，“I never meant to hurt you.”　1　‎ In a talk, Caroline Myss, a spiritual seeker and researcher，took on the topic of forgiveness and healing.She explained why “I never meant to hurt you” is never a sufficient apology，no matter who it comes from.‎ ‎“Picture that person coming up to you and saying，‘I'm sorry I did this.　2　And can we just call it a day？’” Caroline says.As tempting as it can be to move on and bury the hatchet (和解)，that type of apology won't sit well with the person on the receiving end.“That whole little thing—‘I never meant to hurt you’ —that's the thing you can't forgive，” she says，“It goes right to your soul，that sick feeling.”‎ Instead，Caroline says it's important to approach the conversation differently. Ultimately，it's about offering more than an apology.　3　‎ ‎“Let's redo the scene，” Caroline says.“The person comes up to you and says，‘I need to tell you something.　4　It was guilt.I heard my conscience tell me not to do this but I didn't listen.And I now know that my actions redirected the course of your life.This is not an apology.I am confessing(忏悔) my soul to you.　‎5　‎’” Even saying those words on stages makes Caroline visibly emotional，and she points out that this is how deeply within the soul apologies are supposed to resonate.And that's what heals.‎ A．Here is my apology.‎ B．But it doesn't matter to you.‎ 15‎ C．I'm asking now for your forgiveness.‎ D．I consciously knew what I was doing.‎ E．But you know I never meant to hurt you.‎ F．It's about sharing a soultosoul confession.‎ G．However，it's not a suitable way to apologize.‎ ‎【语篇解读】　本文援引了Caroline Myss的话向读者阐明了用“我从没想过要伤害你”来道歉是不够的。‎ ‎1．G　[根据下文的内容尤其是“She explained why ‘I never meant to hurt you’is never a sufficient apology，no matter who it comes from.”可知，此处讲的应是用“我从没想过要伤害你”这句话来道歉的不足，故G项“但是，这并不是一种合适的道歉的方法”符合语境。]‎ ‎2．E　[根据本段内容可知，此处是Caroline Myss让大家想象一下有人用“我从没想过要伤害你”来向你道歉时的情景，故E项符合题意。]‎ ‎3．F　[根据上文的“it's about offering more than an apology”以及下文的“This is not an apology.I am confessing(忏悔)my soul to you.”可知F项“It's about sharing a soultosoul confession.”与之相呼应，表示道歉应该是心灵对心灵的忏悔。下文中的“within the soul”亦是提示。故选F。]‎ ‎4．D　[根据空后的“It was guilt.I heard my conscience tell me not to do this but I didn't listen...”可知，此处讲的应该是当时所做的错事方面的内容，故D项符合语境。]‎ ‎5．C　[根据上文中的“As tempting as it can be to move on and bury the hatchet(和解)．..”可知，向别人道歉的目的是获得别人的谅解，故C项符合语境。]‎ 课时提能练(三十)‎ Unit 3　Science and nature 课时作业A：基础层面 Ⅰ.语境语法填空 ‎ A With the development of science and technology，more and more new inventions 1.are_being_adopted(adopt)．On the one hand，they 2.have_met (meet) our need in our daily life and profited us a lot；on the other hand，they have some bad effects on us.

in a design company in Arizona.One day，when we got back home after work，my tenyear old daughter，Becky and Joe were united in their desire for a dog.As for me，I shared none of theirs.‎ ‎“But why，”they pleaded(恳求)．“Because I don't have time to take care of a dog.”But we'll do it.“Really？You're going to walk the dog？Feed the dog？Bathe 15‎ ‎ the dog？”Yes，yes，and yes.“I don't believe you.”We will.We promise.‎ They didn't.They wanted to walk the cute dog that first day.From day two，neither of them thought to walk the dog.While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots，to feed and clean her，Misty knew this on day one.As she looked up at the three new humans in her life，she calculated，“The medium one is the most reliable.”‎ Quickly，she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld(心灵相通)．She'd look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers，send her need，and then wait，trusting I would understand—which，strangely，I almost always did.In no time，she would extend across my stomach as I watched television，and snored on my homeoffice couch as I worked on my design.‎ Even so，part of me continued to reject walking duty.Joe and Becky had promised.“Not fair.”I said to myself as she and I walked.“Not fair.”I'd loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home.‎ In September,2008，the Great Depression hit Arizona.With that，my husband and I were both laid off overnight.During the following six months，Joe and I hurriedly rushed here and there to seek a new job，doing anything and everything we could to request employment.Every part of my life changed；no part of my old routine remained.However，Misty still needed walking.‎ Paragraph 1：‎ Upset as I was，I had to walk Misty while seeking a job._____________________‎

routine walk.Every time I walked Misty，I felt exhausted and fed up.One day，Misty stopped in front of me，unwilling to move forward despite my dragging the rope.Dramatically，all my anxiety，exhaustion and displeasure erupted like a volcano.I knelt down，burying my head in my hands，tears rolling down my face.Then，Misty approached me and laid her head on my knees to comfort me.I was a little embarrassed but grateful for Misty's understanding.Then I stood up，with my steps firm and powerful.‎ Paragraph 2：‎ Months going by，my life changed a little and I came to enjoy my walks with Misty.It felt more like relaxation than duty.Misty shared my negative feelings and kept walking peacefully，which comforted me a lot.Thanks to Misty's silent companion，I regained the enthusiasm to life and finally went through the hard times.With my unremitting efforts，I eventually got a new job，and so did Joe.Everything seemed to be just fine and my family went back to routine.But something did change—I had an earnest and faithful friend.‎ 15‎
