課時作業(yè)(十三)Ⅰ.閱讀理解[2023·全國甲卷]I

was

about

13

when

an

uncle

gave

me

a

copy

of

Jostein

Gaarder’s

Sophie’s

World.It

was

full

of

ideas

that

were

new

to

me，so

I

spent

the

summer

with

my

head

in

and

out

of

that

book.It

spoke

to

me

and

brought

me

into

a

world

of

philosophy(哲學).That

love

for

philosophy

lasted

until

I

got

to

college.Nothing

kills

the

love

for

philosophy

faster

than

people

who

think

they

understand

Foucault，Baudrillard，or

Confucius

better

than

you—and

then

try

to

explain

them.Eric

Weiner’s

The

Socrates

Express：

In

Search

of

Life

Lessons

from

Dead

Philosophers

reawakened

my

love

for

philosophy.It

is

not

an

explanation，but

an

invitation

to

think

and

experience

philosophy.Weiner

starts

each

chapter

with

a

scene

on

a

train

ride

between

cities

and

then

frames

each

philosopher’s

work

in

the

context(背景)

of

one

thing

they

can

help

us

do

better.The

end

result

is

a

read

in

which

we

learn

to

wonder

like

Socrates，see

like

Thoreau，listen

like

Schopenhauer，and

have

no

regrets

like

Nietzsche.This，more

than

a

book

about

understanding

philosophy，is

a

book

about

learning

to

use

philosophy

to

improve

a

life.He

makes

philosophical

thought

an

appealing

exercise

that

improves

the

quality

of

our

experiences，and

he

does

so

with

plenty

of

humor.Weiner

enters

into

conversation

with

some

of

the

most

important

philosophers

in

history，and

he

becomes

part

of

that

crowd

in

the

process

by

decoding(解讀)

their

messages

and

adding

his

own

interpretation.

The

Socrates

Express

is

a

fun，sharp

book

that

draws

readers

in

with

its

apparent

simplicity

and

gradually

pulls

them

in

deeper

thoughts

on

desire，loneliness，and

aging.The

invitation

is

clear：

Weiner

wants

you

to

pick

up

a

coffee

or

tea

and

sit

down

with

this

book.I

encourage

you

to

take

his

offer.It’s

worth

your

time，even

if

time

is

something

we

don’t

have

a

lot

of.（

it’s

easy

for

them

to

disappear

from

one

another’s

life.B.Different

people

might

experience

culture

shock

differently.C.It

is

therefore

necessary

to

know

how

to

handle

culture

shock.D.But

I

had

never

expected

that

I

would

have

a

culture

shock

in

America.E.Another

shocking

observation

for

me

was

the

informality

of

the

Americans.F.I

always

compare

my

values

and

customs

with

the

values

and

customs

in

America.G.American

culture

is

also

different

from

mine

in

terms

of

a

sense

of

personal

space.

Moving

from

one

culture

to

another

is

exciting，but

it

is

also

a

stressful

experience.Transitioning(過渡)to

a

completely

new

culture

almost

always

results

in

a

culture

shock

for

all

people.

1

Some

hardly

notice

its

effect

at

all，while

others

can

find

it

very

difficult

to

adapt

to

their

new

environment.BI

was

growing

up

in

Kazakhstan，where

most

of

the

information

I

had

about

America

came

from

its

movies.The

purpose

of

those

movies

is

always

to

entertain

viewers，while

details

of

American

life

may

not

be

accurately

described.I

had

been

dreaming

about

coming

here

for

so

long.

?DAmericans

find

it

easy

to

make

casual

friends.They

become

friends

first

and

build

trust

later

if

at

all.Americans

make

friends

and

become

relatively

close

in

no

time.

3

In

my

culture，

we

believe

in

building

friendships

and

staying

connected

after

the

trust

is

built.Only

after

coming

to

America

did

I

realize

that

my

self-identification

as

a

reserved

person

is

part

of

my

cultural

identity

with

Kazakh

culture.A

4

Americans

find

it

uncomfortable

if

others

stand

too

close.When

friends

or

family

greet，

they

give

a

short

hug

and

step

aside

to

have

some

distance

for

conversation.We

Kazakh

people

like

to

speak

sitting

or

standing

close

to

each

other.Also，it’s

considered

disrespectful

to

keep

a

large

distance

during

the

conversation.GPart

of

the

excitement

of

living

in

a

new

culture

is

learning

about

how

it

differs

from

my

own

culture.

5

By

learning

to

understand

and

navigate(正確處理)

the

culture

of

another

country，I

have

become

a

more

open-minded

person.It

has

taught

me

to

shape

my

own

cultural

identity.FⅢ.完形填空
