　　San Francisco's Chinatown is the biggest and oldest in the country. It's the third most visited tourist destination in the city. It's also the city's most densely populated neighborhood. So why are businesses in Chinatown struggling?

　　In this week's paper, I outline some of the reasons for why Chinatown's crowded streets and busy shops might be declining. Underneath the surface, Chinatown is falling. And the city, local organizations and businesses are trying to figure out what they can do to turn things around.

　　While numbers of people visit Chinatown, they don't stay long and they don't spend a lot of money.

　　And beyond annual festivals，like Chinese New Years,

　　this month's Moon Festival and last month's Sunday Streets—which drew about 15,000 to 20,000 people—the neighborhood has a hard time attracting locals.

　　Can you remember the last time you went to Chinatown? If you can't, you're not alone. Locals told me that Chinatown doesn't have much to offer them—that the stores are all the same. There are some good eating joints, people said, but they don't know how to find them. Some people even told me that they sometimes go to extreme measures to avoid the neighborhood altogether. But when asked if they would like to see Chinatown gone, the answer was always a strong no.

　　Locals are hopeful that things will get better and traffic will increase when the Central Subway is complete. But that's not for another five years, at least. And if new shops or restaurants don't make their way into Chinatown, the same problem of attracting locals will exist.

　　Not that Chinatown's going to die. The dragon still has some fire in its belly. And many people are rooting for positive change. The question is, how does Chinatown change without losing the very importance of what makes it unique?

　　文章大意：旧金山唐人街是北美洲最古老的唐人街，亚洲以外最大的华人社区。但是近几年一直状况不佳，这种低迷的状态令华人和当地人感到担心。

　　1．Which can we know about Chinatown according to the passage?

　　A．Businesses in Chinatown are going well.

　　B．Local people like going shopping there.

　　C．A great number of people visit it every year.

　　D．No period has seen a more prosperous Chinatown.

　　答案：C　细节理解题。依据文中第一段前两句San Francisco's Chinatown is the biggest and oldest in the country. It's the third most visited tourist destination in the city.可知唐人街仍然客流量很大。因此，选项C正确。

　　2．According to the locals we can know that ________.

　　A．Chinatown doesn't love to offer them assistance

　　B．shops in Chinatown lack their own characteristics

　　C．it is hard to buy quality goods at proper prices

　　D．they feel annoyed to see so many familiar faces

　　答案：B　细节理解题。依据第四段第三句话Locals told me that Chinatown doesn't have much to offer them—that the stores are all the same.可知，当地人认为唐人街不能满足他们的需求，唐人街的商店都是一样的，因此选项B正确。

　　3．What is the author's attitude towards Chinatown?

　　A．Negative. B．Sympathy.

　　C．Hopeful.

　　D．Indifferent.

　　答案：C　推理判断题。依据文中的Not that Chinatown's going to die. The dragon still has some fire in its belly.可知，作者认为唐人街不会就这样消亡。因此选项C正确。

　　Ⅱ.七选五

　　Culture Shock

　　Culture shock refers to the anxiety and feelings (of surprise, uncertainty, confusion, etc.) felt when people have to operate within a different and unknown cultural or social environment, such as a foreign country.

　　Generally speaking, we could say that there are four stages of culture shock. The first stage is called “the honeymoon”. In this stage, you are excited about living in a different place. __1__

　　The next stage is “the hostility(敌意)stage”. In this stage, you begin to notice not everything is as good as you originally thought it was. __2__ Moreover, people don't treat you like a guest anymore.

　　Then you come to the third stage called “recovery”. In this stage, you start to feel more positive. __3__ The whole situation starts to become more favorable and you begin to learn to adapt yourself to it.

　　The last stage of culture shock is called “adjustment”. In this stage, you have reached a point where you actually feel good.__4__

　　The things that originally made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand. Now you have adjusted to the new culture and you feel comfortable.

　　Not all individuals visiting another country will experience all these four stages.__5__ It also occurs within cultures as individuals move from place to place or from one setting to another (e.g., from high school to college).

　　A．You feel that friends should help each other to deal with culture shock.

　　B．And you try to develop comprehension of everything you don't understand.

　　C．In addition, culture shock is not limited to the overseas visitor.

　　D．You become tired of many things about the new culture.

　　E．You have learned enough to understand the new culture.

　　F．You begin to understand you need to travel a lot.

　　G．And everything seems to be marvelous and everybody seems to be so nice to you.

　　答案：

　　1．G　根据The first stage is called “the honeymoon”. In this stage, you are excited about living in a different place.可知这里想说每一件事情看起来都很不可思议，每个人看起来都对你很好，故选G。

　　2．D　根据The next stage is “the hostility(敌意)stage”. In this stage, you begin to notice not everything is as good as you originally thought it was. __2__ Moreover, people don't treat you like a guest anymore.可知这里想说你对新文化的很多事情都感到厌烦，故选D。

　　3．B　根据Then you come to the third stage called “recovery”. In this stage, you start to feel more positive. __3__ The whole situation starts to become more favorable and you begin to learn to adapt yourself to it.可知这里想说你努力理解你不懂的每一件事情，故选B。

　　4．E　根据The things that originally made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand. Now you have adjusted to the new culture and you feel comfortable. 可知这里想说对于新文化的理解，你已经了解的足够多了，故选E。

　　5．C　根据Not all individuals visiting another country will experience all these four stages.__5__ It also occurs within cultures as individuals move from place to place or from one setting to another (e.g., from high school to college)．可知这里想说另外，文化冲击不仅仅局限于海外的访问者，故选C。

　　Ⅲ.语法填空

　　(2017·沈阳市二模)

　　Daisy：Do you have somewhere to stay in London, Peter?

　　Peter：No, I don't. In fact, I was about to ask you

　　__1__ you could arrange some place for me to

　　stay.

　　Daisy：Yes, that's no problem though I am not in charge of it. I'll ask someone to arrange __2__for you. What kind of place are you considering?

　　Peter：Well, I don't care if I share it __3__ other people, but I'm not good at housework. Maybe a home stay would be OK, __4__ I don't like young children. As you know, they're __5__(noise) and it's difficult to study. Hopefully, I can live with a lady __6__ has retired.

　　Daisy：OK, that's no problem. But I must warn you that __7__(live) with a family in London is very expensive. Much more expensive than other small cities.

　　Peter：That's not a big problem, for I have some money

　　__8__(save). Besides, I can always get __9__ part­time job. I am working in a supermarket as a cashier now. So I don't think I will have trouble with money.

　　Daisy：Sounds good. I __10__ call you if I get some information about that.

　　Peter：OK, that's great. Thank you very much.

　　文章大意：本文是一段对话，主要是关于刚刚来到London的Peter请求Daisy为他安排住处的一个短文对话。

　　答案：

　　1．if/whether　考查连词。分析句子结构可知，空格后是宾语从句。根据句意可知，此处是Peter问是否能为自己安排一个住的地方。在宾语从句中连词表示“是否”的意思，只能够填if或whether。

　　2．it/that　考查代词。句意为：我会让人为你安排那件事。此处指代前文提到的住的地方，因此填代词it或that。

　　3．with　考查介词。固定搭配share sth.with sb.意为“与某人分享某物”，由此可知，此处填介词with。

　　4．but　考查连词。根据语境可知，空格后句子与其前的句子之间是转折关系，因此空格处应填连词but。

　　5．noisy　考查形容词。根据空格前的系动词“be”可知，此空应该用所给提示词的形容词形式作表语，因此此空填noisy。

　　6．who/that　考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此句是一个定语从句，并且从句中缺主语，而先行词又是人，因此应用关系代词who或that引导定语从句。故填who/that。

　　7．living/to live　考查非谓语动词。由于题干中宾语从句的谓语动词是“is”，因此空格处应该是作从句的主语，此处应该用提示词的动名词或不定式作宾语从句的主语，故空格处应填living/to live。

　　8．saved　考查非谓语动词。句意为：那不是大问题，因为我已攒了一些钱。have sth.done意为“让某事被做，使某事被做”，符合语境，因此，此空应填过去分词saved。

　　9．a　考查冠词。句意为：此外，我总能找到一份兼职工作。此处表示泛指，因此填不定冠词a。

　　10．will　考查动词的时态。根据语境可知，如果有消息了，“我”会给你打电话。在if引导的条件状语从句中，从句用一般现在时表将来，主句用一般将来时。故此处填will call。

　　Ⅳ.短文改错

　　(2017·北大附中河南分校五月冲刺)

　　During last summer holiday, I found part­time job, worked in a toothbrush factory at night. Not until I experienced it did I realized that it was no easy job. I went to work when my parents were going to bed. On the morning, when my parents were going to work, I came to home to sleep.

　　This backward schedule was very tough for me that I often felt tiring. But I am glad that I had this forgettable experience. Not only was it kind of fun to “rise and shine” along with the moon or stars, but I also learned to appreciate the hard work of those which are working while the rest of us are sleeping.
