Andy turned toward his mother. “Leo ”
“Granny’s oldest and favorite brother. He made her that special box that sits beside the window—locked up. The key’s been lost forever. Now about those letters...Granny will want them.”
Andy picked that special box and letters up, then took them to the kitchen. “What did you put in the box, Granny ” Andy asked.
“Nothing! I knew Leo would be joining the army soon. Just before he left, he locked my box and hid the key. He said he’d invented a word game for me and promised he’d send clues. We got letters but not one clue. Leo’s final letter arrived after we heard the heartbreaking news. Mother was so sad. She tore (撕) it in half.”
Granny watched Andy spread the letters on the table. She whispered, “I always thought mother threw away all of Leo’s letters.”
Andy pointed at one letter in two pieces. “This must be the last letter Leo sent home.”
Granny picked up one half of the letter, and read, “Dearest Littlest Sister...”
“Leo did send clues. Let’s tape the halves together.” Andy said.
Andy read, “Ewe reed four make ”
“Nonsense words,” Granny said.
Andy looked at the paper, then said, “Wait! If we read down, instead of across—in columns (列), not rows.” He read the words one by one “You need to read this aloud for it to make some sense.”
Granny’s eyes opened wide. “Leo was using homophones (同音异形词)!”
She began to read, “Go to the room where we ate. See the flower like the sun ”
Granny smiled. “The dining room is where we ate. The painting of a sunflower...”
Andy was on his way. In a few seconds, he returned, carrying the painting. They discovered another clue printed in light pencil on the back. Andy read, “Look above the hole where rain does not come down. See the broken time piece There! Inside!”
He ran to the fireplace then gave the clock to Granny. “This clock has never kept time.” Granny opened the clock’s tiny glass door and reached inside. “All those years. It’s been right here.” She opened the box with the key and looked into it.
There is a photo of a girl and her big brother. On the back of the photo was printed: I NEW you’d worked it out. Use this box for all your special treasures. Love, Leo.

When you think of the sea, you may not think of Xinjiang. As is known, Xinjiang is often remembered as somewhere far from the sea with long hours of sunlight, a large Gobi desert, and mountains with an especially dry climate, unsuitable for seafood production because of the large amount of water required.
However, Xinjiang now welcomes a great harvest of local “seafood”, such as shrimp and crabs. The most important thing for aquatic products (水产品) is water. Xinjiang has many rivers and lakes with water from the melting snow and glaciers (冰川) of the Tianshan Mountains. “With the mountains on the side, there is no industrial pollution and agricultural pollution, which keeps the water clean and promote the growth of the fish,” said Li Chunyu, the head technician of the local trout farm.
Also, land in Xinjiang has a lot of salt. This is not good for growing crops. But “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”. The land makes the underground water salty. People turn the salty water into “man-made seawater”. They then use it to raise sea fish, shrimp and crabs.
Many people are worried about the safety of seafood because of the nuclear-contaminated water (核污染水). Some even feel desperate (绝望的) since they may no longer enjoy any seafood. Luckily, according to the Department of Agriculture, in 2022, the total output value of Xinjiang’s fishery industry reached 4. 2 billion yuan ($580 million), an increase of 921 million yuan compared to 2019. Now, some of Xinjiang’s “seafood” goes to many cities in China. It also goes to countries in Southeast Asia. It turns out that Xinjiang’s “seafood” is becoming a new and favorable (有利的) choice for seafood lovers.
34．Why does the writer introduce Xinjiang in this way in Paragraph 1
A．To introduce the climate and location of Xinjiang.
B．To lead in the real situation of local “seafood” in Xinjiang.
C．To describe the seafood industry in China.
D．To explain the reason why Xinjiang has poor seafood production.
35．Which word can replace the underlined word “trash” in Paragraph 3
A．Wealth. B．Pleasure. C．Litter. D．Property.
36．Which of the following makes it possible to raise sea fish in Xinjiang
①water from melting snow and glaciers ②the sea water from the underground
③the salt in the land ④less pollution
A．①②③ B．①③④ C．②③④ D．①②④
37．What can we know from the last paragraph
A．Xinjiang’s seafood industry is developing better.
B．People are pleased with the current safety of seafood.
C．Xinjiang’s “seafood’ remains to be the only choice for seafood lovers.
D．There are many different types of seafood for people to choose.
【答案】34．B 35．C 36．B 37．A
【导语】本文主要介绍了新疆海鲜产业的发展。
34．推理判断题。第一段主要介绍了在大多数人的印象里，新疆的气候、地理等自然条件并不适合产海鲜，但实际情况并非如此，所以第一段是为了引出新疆当地“海鲜”的真实情况，故选B。
35．词句猜测题。根据“one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”可知一个人的垃圾是另一个人的财富，trash跟litter意思相近，故选C。
36．细节理解题。根据“Xinjiang has many rivers and lakes with water from the melting snow and glaciers (冰川) of the Tianshan Mountains.”、“With the mountains on the side, there is no industrial pollution and agricultural pollution, which keeps the water clean and promote the growth of the fish”和“Also, land in Xinjiang has a lot of salt… They then use it to raise sea fish, shrimp and crabs.”可知来自天山上的雪水和冰川水、无工业污染和农业污染以及地上的盐，使养海鱼成为可能，故选B。
37．推理判断题。根据“Luckily, according to the Department of Agriculture, in 2022, the total output value of Xinjiang’s fishery industry reached 4. 2 billion yuan ($580 million), an increase of 921 million yuan compared to 2019.”可知新疆的海鲜产业发展得越来越好，故选A。

Culture shock is often described as feeling mixed-up or worried in an unfamiliar place that has customs different from your own. This happens a lot to students who go to study in another country.
In the US, students might find culture shock experienced in the classroom harder to deal with. This is not only because they feel nervous about their ability to communicate in English, but also because they need to become comfortable with a discussion-based class. And students’ grades on a big test are also not openly discussed, because they are personal information.
Many international students report feeling OK with the sometimes embarrassing mistakes at a restaurant or store. But they start to feel strong culture shock when they are often faced with some uncomfortable or unfamiliar situations. “Americans are very open about expressing their thoughts on everything,” said Chau, a student from Vietnam. “I had a hard time getting used to speaking up about how I feel and going straight to the point.”
“When I first came to America from China, it was hard for me to understand that Americans drink ice water all year round. I can’t understand why drinking ice water in winter doesn’t make them cold,” said Jessica, another student. “It’s hard for me to get used to the fact that many banks and offices are closed on weekends,” she added. “This is sometimes inconvenient for me, because I don’t have time to deal with things during the working days.”
Getting used to social customs is just one part of getting used to life in America. If international students plan to get an internship (实习) when studying in the US, there is also the possibility for culture shock at work. For example, having a different professional dress code (着装要求), communicating in English by email, etc.
No matter what the situation is, international students can try to use these tips to help them feel better and get over it. Stay positive, be social, know yourself and give yourself a break.

“Look! Letters from Leo! Granny will be excited!” Mom said.
Andy turned toward his mother. “Leo ”
“Granny’s oldest and favorite brother. He made her that special box that sits beside the window—locked up. The key’s been lost forever. Now about those letters...Granny will want them.”
Andy picked that special box and letters up, then took them to the kitchen. “What did you put in the box, Granny ” Andy asked.
“Nothing! I knew Leo would be joining the army soon. Just before he left, he locked my box and hid the key. He said he’d invented a word game for me and promised he’d send clues. We got letters but not one clue. Leo’s final letter arrived after we heard the heartbreaking news. Mother was so sad. She tore (撕) it in half.”
Granny watched Andy spread the letters on the table. She whispered, “I always thought mother threw away all of Leo’s letters.”
Andy pointed at one letter in two pieces. “This must be the last letter Leo sent home.”
Granny picked up one half of the letter, and read, “Dearest Littlest Sister...”
“Leo did send clues. Let’s tape the halves together.” Andy said.
Andy read, “Ewe reed four make ”
“Nonsense words,” Granny said.
Andy looked at the paper, then said, “Wait! If we read down, instead of across—in columns (列), not rows.” He read the words one by one “You need to read this aloud for it to make some sense.”
Granny’s eyes opened wide. “Leo was using homophones (同音异形词)!”
She began to read, “Go to the room where we ate. See the flower like the sun ”
Granny smiled. “The dining room is where we ate. The painting of a sunflower...”
Andy was on his way. In a few seconds, he returned, carrying the painting. They discovered another clue printed in light pencil on the back. Andy read, “Look above the hole where rain does not come down. See the broken time piece There! Inside!”
He ran to the fireplace then gave the clock to Granny. “This clock has never kept time.” Granny opened the clock’s tiny glass door and reached inside. “All those years. It’s been right here.” She opened the box with the key and looked into it.
There is a photo of a girl and her big brother. On the back of the photo was printed: I NEW you’d worked it out. Use this box for all your special treasures. Love, Leo.
Granny gently placed the photo and the letters inside the box. “My treasures,” she said.

When you think of the sea, you may not think of Xinjiang. As is known, Xinjiang is often remembered as somewhere far from the sea with long hours of sunlight, a large Gobi desert, and mountains with an especially dry climate, unsuitable for seafood production because of the large amount of water required.
However, Xinjiang now welcomes a great harvest of local “seafood”, such as shrimp and crabs. The most important thing for aquatic products (水产品) is water. Xinjiang has many rivers and lakes with water from the melting snow and glaciers (冰川) of the Tianshan Mountains. “With the mountains on the side, there is no industrial pollution and agricultural pollution, which keeps the water clean and promote the growth of the fish,” said Li Chunyu, the head technician of the local trout farm.
Also, land in Xinjiang has a lot of salt. This is not good for growing crops. But “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”. The land makes the underground water salty. People turn the salty water into “man-made
seawater”. They then use it to raise sea fish, shrimp and crabs.
Many people are worried about the safety of seafood because of the nuclear-contaminated water (核污染水). Some even feel desperate (绝望的) since they may no longer enjoy any seafood. Luckily, according to the Department of Agriculture, in 2022, the total output value of Xinjiang’s fishery industry reached 4. 2 billion yuan ($580 million), an increase of 921 million yuan compared to 2019. Now, some of Xinjiang’s “seafood” goes to many cities in China. It also goes to countries in Southeast Asia. It turns out that Xinjiang’s “seafood” is becoming a new and favorable (有利的) choice for seafood lovers.
34．Why does the writer introduce Xinjiang in this way in Paragraph 1
A．To introduce the climate and location of Xinjiang.
B．To lead in the real situation of local “seafood” in Xinjiang.
C．To describe the seafood industry in China.
D．To explain the reason why Xinjiang has poor seafood production.
35．Which word can replace the underlined word “trash” in Paragraph 3
A．Wealth. B．Pleasure. C．Litter. D．Property.
36．Which of the following makes it possible to raise sea fish in Xinjiang
①water from melting snow and glaciers ②the sea water from the underground
③the salt in the land ④less pollution
A．①②③ B．①③④ C．②③④ D．①②④
37．What can we know from the last paragraph
A．Xinjiang’s seafood industry is developing better.
B．People are pleased with the current safety of seafood.
C．Xinjiang’s “seafood’ remains to be the only choice for seafood lovers.
D．There are many different types of seafood for people to choose.

Culture shock is often described as feeling mixed-up or worried in an unfamiliar place that has customs different from your own. This happens a lot to students who go to study in another country.
In the US, students might find culture shock experienced in the classroom harder to deal with. This is not only because they feel nervous about their ability to communicate in English, but also because they need to become comfortable with a discussion-based class. And students’ grades on a big test are also not openly discussed, because they are personal information.
Many international students report feeling OK with the sometimes embarrassing mistakes at a restaurant or store. But they start to feel strong culture shock when they are often faced with some uncomfortable or unfamiliar situations. “Americans are very open about expressing their thoughts on everything,” said Chau, a student from Vietnam. “I had a hard time getting used to speaking up about how I feel and going straight to the point.”
“When I first came to America from China, it was hard for me to understand that Americans drink ice water all year round. I can’t understand why drinking ice water in winter doesn’t make them cold,” said Jessica, another student. “It’s hard for me to get used to the fact that many banks and offices are closed on weekends,” she added. “This is sometimes inconvenient for me, because I don’t have time to deal with things during the working days.”
Getting used to social customs is just one part of getting used to life in America. If international students plan to get an internship (实习) when studying in the US, there is also the possibility for culture shock at work. For example, having a different professional dress code (着装要求), communicating in English by email, etc.
No matter what the situation is, international students can try to use these tips to help them feel better and get over it. Stay positive, be social, know yourself and give yourself a break.
