9、e.”也是线索提示。3C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，此阶段会对国外生活感到不适应。A、B、D 项均符合题意，而 C 项属于第三个阶段。4D 文章结构题。第二段提到有四个文化适应阶段，随后叙述了 the honeymoon stage，the withdrawal stage 和 the recovery stage 三个阶段，故接下来要讲述的是第四个阶段。BBaliisanIndonesianislandthatisrichinindigenous(本土的)culture.AlotofpeoplesaythattheBalinesecultureisuniqueandthatthepeo

17、i.【语篇解读】独特的文化，独特的风情，巴厘岛无疑是印度尼西亚的一朵奇葩，焕发出奇异的光彩，尽情地向世人展现自己的绚烂。5B 细节理解题。根据第二段的内容可知，巴厘人生活在大家庭中，而且彼此之间关系非常亲密。6D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句的内容可知，印度教对巴厘岛的影响渗透到艺术方面，这使它不同于印度尼西亚的其他地方。7A 词义猜测题。由画线词所在句可知，尽管每年都有无数的游客涌往巴厘岛，巴厘人仍然能够设法”保存”他们自己独特的文化。故 conserve 与 preserve 的意思最接近。8B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“death is a joyous and colorful
18、event for the Balinese”可推知，当巴厘人去世时，人们的惯例是将其视为重大的好事进行庆祝。9C 主旨大意题。第一段的第一句是本文的主题句，本文叙述的是巴厘文化，后面四段从不同的侧面对巴厘文化进行诠释。故 C 项最能概括本文的主旨。II.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。_1_New Year 2012 approaches with a sense of excitement and hope,which is full of fun and enjoyment.It is the first day of the New Y

31、Here are some tips for you.First of all，be confident that you can learn English well in the senior.Also，review the knowledge learned in the junior before the new school life begins.Besides，make necessary mental preparations for the hard learning in the senior.With more difficult English textbooks，you should preview the text and review in time what has been learned，especially the new words.Sincerely_hoping_you_can_benefit_from_the_above_and_will_be_a_successful_high_school_English_learner.Best_wishes!Yours，Bruce
