【2018届湖北武汉武昌高三1月调研】On December 22, 2016 I landed in the land of the “American Dream.” ____1____ Here is one of the things I’ve struggled with during my almost one year in the States.
___2__ My uncle and aunt joked that I brought rain from Saigon to America. Saigon, where I come from, is the old name of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. Vietnam is a tropical country where it rains most of the year. Before going to the U.S., actually, I had no idea what to expect about its weather, but the big rain on my arrival gave me the first expectation of what the weather here might be like.
California is known for having a great climate — more sunshine, cooler in summer and warmer in winter. ____3____ However, having been here for a pretty long while now, I have experienced various forms of climate in California.
___4___ Most of the time I was living in Silicon Valley, where the weather is a bit colder than where I study in Orange County. But I was really surprised to find chill-to-the-bone weather in San Francisco — a big shift from Silicon Valley in only about an hour’s drive. How strange!
___5___ The worst is that I get a runny nose whenever I wake up in the morning. Because I am allergic to the cold and windy weathers, I keep sneezing badly, and even more badly if I get caught in the cold. I think that my body needs more time to get used to this climate, but as many people said, I am luckier to be in California where I don’t have to fight with extreme weathers as in other states.
A. I am sensitive to weather change.
B. Such strange weather has affected my health.
C. So the amount of rain this year is considered unusual.

D. LAX airport in California welcomed me with a big rain.
E. So I quickly get used to the unchangeable climate in California.
F. The weather varies widely depending on where you are in the state.
G. Since then, I have discovered tons of dilemmas about life in America.

【2018届宁夏石嘴山第三中学高三下第一次模拟】Different Cultures
The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. 6 .
The origin of the Eastern culture is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers---the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India. 7 .
When the two Mother Rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain ---the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Rome. 8 . Like the Chinese culture, the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlanta Ocean. So the American culture doesn’t distinguish from the European culture a lot.
At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences. Take the language system for example. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race differences count as well. But what’s more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and the West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. 9 .
The differences are everywhere. 10 .But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle to the civilization of human being. It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.
A. Let us work together to keep a variety of cultures.
B. One important thing is to learn about other cultures.
C. And these two are well - known as the base of the European culture.
9
D. This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.
E. They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.
F. They are obvious and affect people's ways of thinking and their views of the world.
G. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference from the other.
