9、ime are the only real help here.Looking now at the cultural problems, we can see that some of them are of a very practical nature, e.g. arranging sat is factory accommodation, getting used to British money (or the lack of it) , British food and weather. Some of the cultural difficulties are less eas

10、y to define: they are bound up with the whole range of alien customs, habits and traditions - in other words, the British way of life. Such difficulties include: settling into a strange environment and a new academic routine; earning a new set of social habits, ranging from the times of meals to the

11、 meanings of gestures; expressing appropriate greetings; understanding a different kind of humor; and learning how to make friends. Being open-minded and adaptable is the best approach to some of the difficulties listed here.The largest category is probably linguistic. Lets look at this in some deta

12、ils.Most students have learnt English at school, but they have had little everyday opportunity to practise using English. When foreign learners first come to the country, they have great difficulty in understanding ! There are a number of reasons for this. I 11 just mention three of them.Firstly, it

13、 seems to overseas students that English people speak very fast. secondly, they speak with a variety of ac cents. Thirdly, different styles of speech are used in different situations, e.g. everyday spoken English, which is colloquial and idiomatic, is different from the English used for academic pur

14、poses. Dont forget, by the way, that ff the students have difficulty in understanding the English-speaking people, these people may also have difficulty in understanding the students!What can a student do then to overcome these difficulties? Well, obviously, he can benefit from attending English cla

15、sses and, if a language laboratory is available, use it as much as possible. He should also listen to programmes in English on the radio and TV. Perhaps the most important of all, he should take every available opportunity to meet and speak with native English-speaking people. He should be aware, ho

16、wever, that English people are, by temperament, often re- served and may be unwilling to start a conversation. Nevertheless, ff he has the courage to take the initiative, however difficult it may seem to, be, most English people will respond. He will need patience and perseverance.In addition to the

17、se problems regarding listening and understanding, .he student probably has difficulty in speaking English fluently. He has the ideas, he knows what to say but he doesnt know how to say it in English. The advice here will seem difficult to follow but its necessary. Firstly, he must simplify his lang

18、uage so that he can express himself reason- ably clearly, for example, short sentences will be better than long ones. Secondly, he must try to think in English, not translate from his mother tongue. This will only begin to take place when his use of English becomes automatic; using a language labora

19、tory and listening to as much English as possible will help. In general, he should practise speaking as much as possible. He should also notice the kind of English and its structure that educated people use, and try to imitate it.四、SECTION B(总题数：0，分数：0.00)五、Questions 1 to 5 are(总题数：1，分数：5.00)A.10 to

20、 12.B.12.C.2 to 10. D.2.解析：听力原文Questions-Interviewer: Hello, everyone. Welcome to our programme Worldly Wise. Today our attention turns to pollution. We are lucky to have with us here our guest, Miss Catherine White, the youngest woman director of the Environmental Protection Agency. Good morning, M

21、iss White.Catherine: Good morning.Interviewer: Well, Miss White, nowadays, most people believe it is the air outdoors that presents us, particularly those most sensitive to unhealthy air, with the greatest risk. But according to your groups recent research, there seems to be something different.Cath

22、erine: Yes, our research shows that it is not the air outdoors that takes us the risk. However, it is actually the air in side our homes, schools, and other buildings that is most harmful.Interviewer: Really?Catherine: Really! According to a recent report made by my colleague, 50% of all illnesses i

23、s aggravated or caused by polluted indoor air. The indoor air is anywhere from 2 to 10 times more hazardous than the outdoor air. And the indoor air quality epidemic has become the nations number one environmental health problem.Interviewer: Why is such a big problem not noticed before?Catherine: Be

24、cause it was not as serious as today. As a result of the energy crisis of the 1970s, with energy-efficiency in mind, todays homes and buildings are built air-tight. Their air-tight construction keeps airborne pollutants trapped inside, and natures air-cleansing agents outside. Statistics for asthma

25、problems began rising sharply around the same time that homes and buildings began to be built his way. In fact, a recent study found that the allergen level in super-insulated homes is 200% higher than it is in ordinary homes.Interviewer: Besides the insulation of homes, is there anything else that

26、worsens the indoor air?Catherine: Yes, carpets, molds, mildews, fungi, dust mites, and many many others. A baby crawling on the floor in hales the equivalent of 4 cigarettes a day!Interviewer: But most people spend most of their time inside.Catherine: Yeah. Some are over 90%. In this case, the indoo

27、r air is going to affect our health far more than the outdoor air. Virtually everyone is affected, especially asthmatics and others who are particularly sensitive to allergens and dirty particles in the air. Keep in mind that no home or building is immune to the indoor air quality epidemic. 6 out of

28、 10 homes and buildings are “sick“.Interviewer: Sick? Do you mean the air in the house is in bad quality?Catherine: Not only bad, but it is hazardous to your health. And even the Environmental Protection Agencys very own headquarters, constructed a few years ago, was determined to be “sick“. Many EP

29、A employees could not work inside the building without becoming sick. If the headquarters of the EPA can fall victim to the indoor air quality epidemic, the very government agency that is charged with finding solutions to this problem, then any home or building can be afflicted. In fact, every home

30、and building is affected by the indoor air quality epidemic to one degree or another, regardless of how clean it may appear.Interviewer: But if my house looks really clean, how did it become that way?Catherine: Did you use aerosols, floor or furniture polish, bleach, bathroom cleaners, etc. ? If so,

31、 these products give off harmful chemical vapors into the air. Most homes or buildings also have carpets, painted walls, chemically treated furnishings, dust, insects, moist or damp things, food, people, and.Interviewer: People?!Catherine: Yes, humans shed more than just about any other animal, but

32、our skin flakes are small enough to float in the air, and are consequently inhaled by anyone who enters a room. About 80% of what you see floating in a ray of sunshine is dead human skin ! This is not to mention other sources of airborne pollutants that we may bring indoors, such as cigarette smoke

33、and pets. Even if you eliminate or prohibit a certain source of indoor air pol lution from your home, such as pets, you may still be affected.Interviewer: So wed better often stay outdoors.Catherine: Maybe !Interviewer: Thank you, Miss White. We have to stop here and next time she will give you some
