With the protests developing from a group of young peoples camping out near the New York Stock Exchange on Sept.17 to largescale movements across the country and around the world, people cant help asking：What has led to “ Occupy Wall Street” ?Usually, rebellious movements can be easily set off by depression and recession(衰退). Three years after the severe economic crisis, the US. economy now is stuck again. Protesters are not satisfied with the present economic situation since unemployment rate is above 9 percent and economic growth has slowed.The housing market is still struggling for a recovery three years after the bubble burst. People are losing their houses even after they have paid a large amount of mortgage(抵押)It is getting difficult for young people to find jobs. People fear that a similar crisis like the one in 2008 may be already on its way.It is Wall Street that possesses the most riches, filled with greed and corruption. It is Wall Street greed that, at least partly, led to the financial crisis and economic recession in 2008. It is Wall Streets “fat cats” who take taxpayers aid money as their own big bonus. With the growing economic crisis around the world, people realize that Wall Street is responsible for it. So they try to target people who created the crisis.The majority of the protesters are young people under 30. Many of them are unemployed.Some are students with mountains of loans. Some are hardworking people about to lose their houses. They are complaining that the hardworking middle class is getting poor, while Wall Street stays wealthy.William Cohan, author of Money and Power: How Goldman Sachs Came to Rule the World, wrote recently that Wall Street not only learned nothing from the 2008 crisis, they are also trying to kill all reforms that might “break this dangerous cycle in which bankers get very rich while the rest of working people suffer from their mistakes”【语篇解读】 “占领华尔街”运动自2011年9月开始以来迅速从华尔街蔓延到整个美国，甚至波及其他国家。本文作者分析了“占领华尔街”运动发起的原因。 36What is the main idea of the passage?AThe cause of the“Occupy Wall Street”movement.BThe demand of the protesters of the“Occupy Wall Street”movement.CThe popularity of the“Occupy Wall Street”movement.DThe development of the“Occupy Wall Street”movement.解析主旨大意题。通读本文可知，本文主要分析了“占领华尔街”运动发起的原因。故A项最具有概括性。答案A37.

People are afraid that_.Athe bankers will become greedierBthe movement will not get enough supportCWall Street learned nothing from the 2008 economic crisisDanother economic crisis is likely to happen解析细节理解题。根据第二段中的“People fear that a similar crisis like the one in 2008 may be already on its way.”可知人们担心类似2008年的经济危机再度发生。故D项正确。答案D39We can learn from the passage that Wall Street is the symbol of_in the USA.Acivilization BpowerCwealth Dfashion解析细节理解题。根据第三段对华尔街的描述可知华尔街拥有美国最多的财富，是美国财富的象征，故C项正确。答案CB“Youre going to the United States to live? How wonderful！Youre really lucky！”Does this sound familiar? Perhaps your family and friends said similar things to you when you left home. But does it seem true all the time? Is your life in this new country always wonderful and exciting? A great many facts show that its not easy for newcomers to adjust to life in a new culture. They have to experience culture shock. What causes culture shock? Maybe the weather is unpleasant. Perhaps the customs are different. Perhaps the public service systems such as the telephone，post office, or transportation are difficult to figure out and you make mistakes. The simplest things seem difficult. The language may be difficult. The food may seem strange to you. If you dont look similar to the natives, you may feel strange. You may feel as if everyone is watching you. In fact, you_are_always_watching_yourself. Everyone experiences culture shock in some form or another. But culture shock comes as a surprise to most people. A lot of the time, the people with the worst culture shock are the people who never had any difficulties in their own countries. They were active and successful in their community (社区). They had hobbies or pastimes which they enjoyed. When they come to a new country, they do not have the same positions or hobbies as they already had in their countries. They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity. They have to build a new selfimage. Culture shock produces a feeling of disorientation (晕头转向), which may be homesickness, imagined illness, or even paranoia (妄想症). When people feel the disorientation of culture shock, they sometimes feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the unfamiliar environment. They want to create an escape within their room to give themselves a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to familiarize the person more with the culture. Familiarity and experience are the long term ways to settle the problem of culture shock. 【语篇解读】 在人们看来，移居海外是件非常幸运的事情，然而由于气候、风俗、语言等方面的差异而造成的“culture shock”是件令人头痛的事情，文章向我们介绍了新移民们应该如何适应这些差异。40.

DPeople who can easily adjust to their life in the US. 解析文章向我们介绍了来到异国他乡，应如何克服“culture shock”，适应新环境的问题，也就是说是写给那些刚移居国外的人的。答案C41.

Ayou are always feeling homesickByou are always worried too much about yourselfCyou are always looking at yourself in the mirrorDyou are always nervous about meeting other people解析由上一句“You may feel as if everyone is watching you.”可以看出这种感觉是因为对自己过度担心而造成的。答案B42. Which of the following would be a case of culture shock for newcomers?AThey have trouble using public telephones. BTheir positions or hobbies stay the same. CThey are active and successful in the new community. DThey have got used to the life in the new country. 解析细节理解题。由第三段中的“Perhaps the public service systems such as the telephone.”可得出答案。答案A43. Which of the following may cause newcomers to lack a sense of security?AA new identity. BLocal food.CA new self image.
