Olympic surfing The Olympics will be held in Paris, but what about Olympic surfing? There is one venue that is literally on the other side of the world. The location Teahupoo, on the island of Tahiti, is where Olympic surfing will take place. This island is part of French Polynesia, between Australia and South America. Olympic breakdancing Breakdancing is the new Olympic sport that will make its first appearance in Paris 2024.

B Before going abroad, I was very concerned about culture shock, but it turned out that I had a harder time dealing with reverse (逆向的) culture shock when returning home. Coming back has been a tougher transition than expected. It’s not just about transitioning back to home life; it’s also about handling the strange situation of being a different person in the same old environment. I am most terrified of waking up in a few months and feeling like I’m the same person I was before I studied abroad. This situation is especially strange with people who have known me for a long time, like my parents, who witnessed all my major life changes before this one. I didn’t realize how much I’d changed until I interacted with them and close friends. Despite only being away for three and a half months, I quickly noticed the differences between who I was before and who I am now. Over the past few weeks at home, I’ve been wondering how to maintain the positive changes and qualities gained from my semester abroad. I’ve realized that surroundings and situations greatly influence mindset, and keeping a certain mindset while losing its corresponding (相对应的) environment is challenging. For instance, being in Madrid taught me to be more relaxed and stress-free. However, returning to Penn State with its demanding course load makes maintaining that mentality (心态) difficult. I’ve come to realize the problem that perpetual stress about school isn’t healthy, especially after experiencing a semester of travel, fun, and academic success. Therefore, I’ve decided to work hard and study as usual but occasionally give myself a break, and do what I can to avoid getting over-stressed about tests and assignments. This means I will put in effort when necessary in order to make sure I am always caught up or ahead of class material. Coming home has been more challenging than expected, but I’m confident I’ll get through it in the next few weeks. Nevertheless, I’m determined to maintain the important lessons I learned about myself and others in Madrid. 4. What was the author’s biggest concern when returning home? A. Going back to his original self. B. Adapting to new surroundings. C. Experiencing culture shock. D. Missing old acquaintances. 5. What did the author realize after returning home? A. He should make his family familiar with his positive changes. B. He should change his mentality to care less about his study. C. He should adapt his mindset to fit into the old learning environment. D. He should apply himself to his study to stay ahead of class. 6. What does the underlined word “perpetual” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Current. B. Improper. C. Unnecessary. D. Continuous. 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. The sufferings of reverse culture shock. B. The reflections on personal growth. C. The adaptations to new environments. D. The success in academic performance. C As we age, even if we’re healthy, the heart just isn’t as efficient in processing oxygen as it used to be. In most people the first signs show up in their 50s or early 60s. And among people who don’t exercise, the changes can start even sooner. “Think of a rubber band. In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,” says Dr. Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the University of Texas. That’s what happens to the heart. Fortunately for those in midlife, Levine is finding that even if you haven’t been an enthusiastic exerciser, getting in shape now may help improve your aging heart. Levine and his research team selected volunteers aged between 45 and 64 who did not exercise much but were otherwise healthy. Participants were randomly divided into two groups. The first group participated in a program of nonaerobic (无氧) exercise—balance training and weight training—three times a week. The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week. After two years, the second group saw remarkable improvements in heart health. “We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30-or 35-year-old hearts,” says Levine. “And the reason they got so much stronger and fitter was that their hearts could now fill a lot better and pump (泵送) a lot more blood during exercise.” But the hearts of those who participated in less intense exercise didn’t change, he says. “The sweet spot in life to start exercising, if you haven’t already, is in late middle age when the heart still has flexibility,” Levine says. “We put healthy 70-year-olds through a yearlong exercise training program, and nothing happened to them at all.” Dr. Nieca Goldberg, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, says Levine’s findings are a great start. But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference. 8. What does Levine want to explain by mentioning the rubber band? A. The right way of exercising. B. The causes of a heart attack. C. The difficulty of keeping fit. D. The aging process of the heart. 9. In which aspect were the two groups different in terms of research design? A. Diet plan. B. Professional background. C Exercise type. D. Previous physical condition. 10. What does Levine’s research find? A. Middle-aged hearts get younger with aerobic exercise. B. High-intensity exercise is more suitable for the young. C. It is never too late for people to start taking exercise. D. The more exercise we do, the stronger our hearts get. 11. What does Dr. Nieca Goldberg suggest? A. Making use of the findings. B. Interviewing the study participants. C. Conducting further research. D. Clarifying the purpose of the study. D In the spring the western tanagers (唐纳雀) prepared to migrate (迁徙) thousands of miles to the forests of the Mountain West, flying through grasslands, deserts, and occasionally, suburban yards. To fuel them on their lengthy journey western tanagers feed on insects and berries. They must take advantage of the early-season boom in insects that started with springtime plant growth to produce healthy young. But as global climate change caused spring to start earlier, birds such as western tanagers were arriving at their destination after what was known as “green-up”, when flowers began blooming and insects popped up. With the shift of the time when plants put out new leaves, western tanagers became more likely to reach their destinations when food is in shortage or after insect numbers have begun to drop. Scott Loss, a professor at Oklahoma State University and his colleagues used satellite imagery to calculate the average start of spring green-up along the typical migration routes of 150 North American bird species, and then compared that timing with the current green-up. They found that spring was indeed beginning earlier along birds’ migration routes. The trend continued this year. The paper continued to build this picture of the inability of birds to track the changing seasons caused by climate change. Timing mismatches between birds and their food could affect whether birds survived the migration and how many chicks they had. Morgan Tingley, a researcher at UCLA said that the migration research could indicate conservation efforts in the future. “Part of it suggested which species were vulnerable (易受伤害的) to various threats,” Tingley said. “This added to the knowledge about vulnerability of a wide range of bird species.” And he hoped that the information would serve to highlight the urgent need to lower greenhouse-gas emissions as fast as possible: “It was really important, if we couldn’t address climate change immediately, to try to stop habitat loss as much as we can.” 12. During the migration, what will happen to the western tanagers after “green-up” ? A. They will struggle to find enough insects and berries. B. They will have difficulty finding suitable nesting sites. C. They will hardly find blooming flowers for reproduction. D. They will find it hard to survive harsher weather conditions. 13. What is the direct result of the timing mismatch between birds and their food? A. The loss of birds’ habitats. B. The decrease of birds’ survival rate. C. The contribution to the greenhouse effect. D. The increase of difficulty in biodiversity conservation. 14. What is Morgan Tingley’s attitude towards the research findings in the last paragraph? A. Uncertain. B. Critical. C. Concerned. D. Indifferent. 15 Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Diverse Patterns of Bird Migration B. The Timing Mismatch of Western Tanagers C The Impact of Climate Change on Migratory Birds D. The Vulnerability of Bird Species to Various Threats 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 These days, most people like using messaging apps when they need to communicate with someone. But sometimes making a call is unavoidable. However, this simple act can actually be a nightmare for some people.____16____. If this sounds familiar to you, you might be one of the millions of people who suffer from telephobia — the fear of speaking over the phone. ___17___ When speaking face-to-face, we use facial expressions and gestures that help each other follow the conversation.

One thing that those with telephobia can do before a call is smile. ___18___ It won’t remove the anxiety altogether, but it will take the edge off it. Similarly, imagining how the call will go before you make it can also help things go more smoothly. That will make you feel less nervous and help you predict some possible problems. There’s no need to spend hours on this, just a few minutes forming several ideas of what you want to say.___19___ This is particularly useful for dealing with the fear of not being able to express yourself spontaneously (自然地). And finally, when faced with receiving a call, you don’t always have to pick up. ___20___ A. Doing so can help you feel more relaxed. B. It’s often the opening lines that give us the most anxiety. C. Their hearts race and their hands sweat at the very thought of it. D. People who feel comfortable in social situations may experience telephobia. E.

Bouldering is all about climbing a boulder on a wall and Lead requires athletes to climb a difficult route 20 meters high.(第二次进入奥运会的运动攀岩有三个分支：速度攀岩、抱石攀岩和难度攀岩。速度与攀岩的速度有关。抱石就是在墙上爬一块巨石，而难度攀岩则要求运动员爬一条20米高的高难度路线。)”可知，攀岩运动有三个项目：速度攀岩、抱石攀岩和难度攀岩，分别评估了攀岩速度、技巧和难度等多方面的技能。故选B项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Want to know all the ins-and-outs regarding the Paris 2024 Olympics? Then you’ve come to the right place! Below you will find all the information about the new Olympic sports.(想知道关于2024年巴黎奥运会的所有细节吗？那你来对地方了！下面你会发现所有关于新奥运项目的信息。)”可知，该文主要介绍了2024年巴黎奥运会中的新项目，包括滑板、攀岩、冲浪和霹雳舞等，提供了这些项目的具体信息。这显然是与体育赛事相关的介绍，因此最有可能来源于一个体育网站。故选A项。 B Before going abroad, I was very concerned about culture shock, but it turned out that I had a harder time dealing with reverse (逆向的) culture shock when returning home. Coming back has been a tougher transition than expected. It’s not just about transitioning back to home life; it’s also about handling the strange situation of being a different person in the same old environment. I am most terrified of waking up in a few months and feeling like I’m the same person I was before I studied abroad. This situation is especially strange with people who have known me for a long time, like my parents, who witnessed all my major life changes before this one. I didn’t realize how much I’d changed until I interacted with them and close friends. Despite only being away for three and a half months, I quickly noticed the differences between who I was before and who I am now. Over the past few weeks at home, I’ve been wondering how to maintain the positive changes and qualities gained from my semester abroad. I’ve realized that surroundings and situations greatly influence mindset, and keeping a certain mindset while losing its corresponding (相对应的) environment is challenging. For instance, being in Madrid taught me to be more relaxed and stress-free. However, returning to Penn State with its demanding course load makes maintaining that mentality (心态) difficult. I’ve come to realize the problem that perpetual stress about school isn’t healthy, especially after experiencing a semester of travel, fun, and academic success. Therefore, I’ve decided to work hard and study as usual but occasionally give myself a break, and do what I can to avoid getting over-stressed about tests and assignments. This means I will put in effort when necessary in order to make sure I am always caught up or ahead of class material. Coming home has been more challenging than expected, but I’m confident I’ll get through it in the next few weeks. Nevertheless, I’m determined to maintain the important lessons I learned about myself and others in Madrid. 4. What was the author’s biggest concern when returning home? A. Going back to his original self. B. Adapting to new surroundings. C. Experiencing culture shock. D. Missing old acquaintances. 5. What did the author realize after returning home? A. He should make his family familiar with his positive changes. B. He should change his mentality to care less about his study. C. He should adapt his mindset to fit into the old learning environment. D. He should apply himself to his study to stay ahead of class. 6. What does the underlined word “perpetual” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Current. B. Improper. C. Unnecessary. D. Continuous. 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. The sufferings of reverse culture shock. B. The reflections on personal growth. C. The adaptations to new environments. D. The success in academic performance. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者最初担心出国时的文化冲击，但发现回国后的适应其实更困难。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Before going abroad, I was very concerned about culture shock, but it turned out that I had a harder time dealing with reverse (逆向的) culture shock when returning home. Coming back has been a tougher transition than expected. It’s not just about transitioning back to home life; it’s also about handling the strange situation of being a different person in the same old environment. I am most terrified of waking up in a few months and feeling like I’m the same person I was before I studied abroad.”（在出国之前，我非常担心文化冲击，但事实证明，当我回国时，我很难应对逆向文化冲击。回归后的过渡期比预期的要艰难。这不仅仅是回到家庭生活；这也是关于在相同的旧环境中处理不同的人的奇怪情况。我最害怕的是几个月后醒来，感觉自己还是出国留学前的那个我）可知，作者回国后最担心的是回到原来的自己。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Over the past few weeks at home, I’ve been wondering how to maintain the positive changes and qualities gained from my semester abroad.”（在过去的几周里，我一直在思考如何保持我在国外学期所获得的积极变化和品质）以及第三段中“I’ve realized that surroundings and situations greatly influence mindset, and keeping a certain mindset while losing its corresponding(相对应的)environment is challenging.”（我意识到环境和情形对心态有很大的影响，在失去相应环境的同时保持某种心态是很有挑战性的）可知，作者回国后意识到他应该调整自己的心态，以适应原来的学习环境。故选C项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词句中“…especially after experiencing a semester of travel, fun, and academic success.”（尤其是在经历了一个学期的旅行、娱乐和学业成功之后）以及第三段中“Therefore, I’ve decided to work hard and study as usual but occasionally give myself a break, and do what I can to avoid getting over-stressed about tests and assignments. This means I will put in effort when necessary in order to make sure I am always caught up or ahead of class material.”（因此，我决定像往常一样努力学习，偶尔让自己休息一下，尽我所能避免考试和作业带来的过度压力。这意味着我会在必要的时候付出努力，以确保我总是赶上或领先于课堂材料）可知，此处为我开始意识到学校的持续的压力并不健康。故可猜测划线单词perpetual为“持续的”意思，与D项Continuous“持续不断的”意思一致。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容以及第一段“Before going abroad, I was very concerned about culture shock, but it turned out that I had a harder time dealing with reverse (逆向的) culture shock when returning home. Coming back has been a tougher transition than expected. It’s not just about transitioning back to home life; it’s also about handling the strange situation of being a different person in the same old environment.

In most people the first signs show up in their 50s or early 60s. And among people who don’t exercise, the changes can start even sooner. “Think of a rubber band. In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,” says Dr. Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the University of Texas. That’s what happens to the heart. Fortunately for those in midlife, Levine is finding that even if you haven’t been an enthusiastic exerciser, getting in shape now may help improve your aging heart. Levine and his research team selected volunteers aged between 45 and 64 who did not exercise much but were otherwise healthy. Participants were randomly divided into two groups. The first group participated in a program of nonaerobic (无氧) exercise—balance training and weight training—three times a week. The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week. After two years, the second group saw remarkable improvements in heart health. “We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30-or 35-year-old hearts,” says Levine. “And the reason they got so much stronger and fitter was that their hearts could now fill a lot better and pump (泵送) a lot more blood during exercise.” But the hearts of those who participated in less intense exercise didn’t change, he says. “The sweet spot in life to start exercising, if you haven’t already, is in late middle age when the heart still has flexibility,” Levine says. “We put healthy 70-year-olds through a yearlong exercise training program, and nothing happened to them at all.” Dr. Nieca Goldberg, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, says Levine’s findings are a great start. But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference. 8. What does Levine want to explain by mentioning the rubber band? A. The right way of exercising. B. The causes of a heart attack. C. The difficulty of keeping fit. D. The aging process of the heart. 9. In which aspect were the two groups different in terms of research design? A. Diet plan. B. Professional background. C. Exercise type. D. Previous physical condition. 10. What does Levine’s research find? A. Middle-aged hearts get younger with aerobic exercise. B. High-intensity exercise is more suitable for the young. C. It is never too late for people to start taking exercise. D. The more exercise we do, the stronger our hearts get. 11. What does Dr. Nieca Goldberg suggest? A. Making use of the findings. B. Interviewing the study participants. C. Conducting further research. D. Clarifying the purpose of the study. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是锻炼对于心脏的好处。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的““Think of a rubber band. In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,” says Dr. Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the University of Texas. That’s what happens to the heart.(“想想橡皮筋。一开始，它是灵活的，但把它放在抽屉里20年，它就会变得干燥，很容易破碎，”德克萨斯大学的心脏专家本·莱文博士说。这就是心脏的变化。)”可知，莱文想通过提到橡皮筋来解释心脏的老化过程，故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“The first group participated in a program of nonaerobic exercise—balance training and weight training—three times a week. The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week.(第一组每周参加三次非有氧运动——平衡训练和重量训练。第二组在教练的指导下每周进行4天或更多的高强度有氧运动。)”可知，两组在研究设计上的不同在于运动类型的不同，故选C。 10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week. After two years, the second group saw remarkable improvements in heart health.(第二组在教练的指导下每周进行4天或更多的高强度有氧运动。两年后，第二组的心脏健康状况有了显著改善。)”和第四段的““We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30-or 35-year-old hearts,” says Levine.(莱文说:“我们把这些50岁的心脏的时钟拨回30或35岁的心脏。”)”可知，莱文的研究发现了通过有氧运动，中年人的心脏会变得更年轻，故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference.(但这项研究的规模很小，需要在更大的人群中重复进行，以确定日常锻炼的哪些方面会产生最大的影响。)”可知，妮卡·戈德堡博士建议进行进一步的研究。故选C。 D In the spring, the western tanagers (唐纳雀) prepared to migrate (迁徙) thousands of miles to the forests of the Mountain West, flying through grasslands, deserts, and occasionally, suburban yards. To fuel them on their lengthy journey, western tanagers feed on insects and berries. They must take advantage of the early-season boom in insects that started with springtime plant growth to produce healthy young. But as global climate change caused spring to start earlier, birds such as western tanagers were arriving at their destination after what was known as “green-up”, when flowers began blooming and insects popped up. With the shift of the time when plants put out new leaves, western tanagers became more likely to reach their destinations when food is in shortage or after insect numbers have begun to drop. Scott Loss, a professor at Oklahoma State University and his colleagues used satellite imagery to calculate the average start of spring green-up along the typical migration routes of 150 North American bird species, and then compared that timing with the current green-up. They found that spring was indeed beginning earlier along birds’ migration routes. The trend continued this year. The paper continued to build this picture of the inability of birds to track the changing seasons caused by climate change. Timing mismatches between birds and their food could affect whether birds survived the migration and how many chicks they had. Morgan Tingley, a researcher at UCLA said that the migration research could indicate conservation efforts in the future. “Part of it suggested which species were vulnerable (易受伤害的) to various threats,” Tingley said. “This added to the knowledge about vulnerability of a wide range of bird species.” And he hoped that the information would serve to highlight the urgent need to lower greenhouse-gas emissions as fast as possible: “It was really important, if we couldn’t address climate change immediately, to try to stop habitat loss as much as we can.” 12. During the migration, what will happen to the western tanagers after “green-up” ? A. They will struggle to find enough insects and berries. B. They will have difficulty finding suitable nesting sites. C. They will hardly find blooming flowers for reproduction. D. They will find it hard to survive harsher weather conditions. 13. What is the direct result of the timing mismatch between birds and their food? A. The loss of birds’ habitats. B. The decrease of birds’ survival rate. C. The contribution to the greenhouse effect. D. The increase of difficulty in biodiversity conservation. 14. What is Morgan Tingley’s attitude towards the research findings in the last paragraph? A. Uncertain. B. Critical. C. Concerned. D. Indifferent. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Diverse Patterns of Bird Migration B. The Timing Mismatch of Western Tanagers C. The Impact of Climate Change on Migratory Birds D. The Vulnerability of Bird Species to Various Threats 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了气候变化影响了候鸟的生存，介绍了相关研究以及启发。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“To fuel them on their lengthy journey, western tanagers feed on insects and berries.(为了在漫长的旅途中补充能量，唐纳雀以昆虫和浆果为食)”以及“With the shift of the time when plants put out new leaves, western tanagers became more likely to reach their destinations when food is in shortage or after insect numbers have begun to drop.(随着植物长新叶时间的改变，唐纳雀更有可能在食物短缺或昆虫数量开始下降时到达目的地)”可知，在迁移过程中，唐纳雀在“绿期”后将很难找到足够的昆虫和浆果。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Timing mismatches between birds and their food could affect whether birds survived the migration and how many chicks they had.(鸟类和食物之间的时间不匹配可能会影响鸟类能否在迁徙中幸存下来，以及它们有多少只小鸟)”可知，鸟类和它们的食物之间的时间不匹配的直接结果是鸟类存活率的降低。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“And he hoped that the information would serve to highlight the urgent need to lower greenhouse-gas emissions as fast as possible: “It was really important, if we couldn’t address climate change immediately, to try to stop habitat loss as much as we can.”(他希望这些信息能够强调尽快降低温室气体排放的迫切需要：“如果我们不能立即解决气候变化问题，那么尽可能地阻止栖息地的丧失是非常重要的。”)”可知，Morgan Tingley对研究结果的态度是关切的。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“To fuel them on their lengthy journey, western tanagers feed on insects and berries. They must take advantage of the early-season boom in insects that started with springtime plant growth to produce healthy young. But as global climate change caused spring to start earlier, birds such as western tanagers were arriving at their destination after what was known as “green-up”, when flowers began blooming and insects popped up.(为了在漫长的旅途中补充能量，唐纳雀以昆虫和浆果为食。它们必须利用春季植物生长带来的早期昆虫繁盛来生产健康的后代。但随着全球气候变化导致春天提前到来，像唐纳雀这样的鸟类在所谓的“绿期”之后才到达目的地，这时花朵开始绽放，昆虫开始出现)”结合文章主要说明了气候变化影响了候鸟的生存，并介绍了相关研究以及启发。故C选项“气候变化对候鸟的影响”最符合文章标题。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 These days, most people like using messaging apps when they need to communicate with someone. But sometimes making a call is unavoidable. However, this simple act can actually be a nightmare for some people.____16____. If this sounds familiar to you, you might be one of the millions of people who suffer from telephobia — the fear of speaking over the phone. ___17___ When speaking face-to-face, we use facial expressions and gestures that help each other follow the conversation. This is not the case over the phone. And the idea of speaking with someone on the phone makes some people so terrified that they will freeze up and look foolish. However, there are things that one suffering from this condition can do to ease this fear. One thing that those with telephobia can do before a call is smile. ___18___ It won’t remove the anxiety altogether, but it will take the edge off it. Similarly, imagining how the call will go before you make it can also help things go more smoothly. That will make you feel less nervous and help you predict some possible problems. There’s no need to spend hours on this, just a few minutes forming several ideas of what you want to say.___19___ This is particularly useful for dealing with the fear of not being able to express yourself spontaneously (自然地). And finally, when faced with receiving a call, you don’t always have to pick up. ___20___ A. Doing so can help you feel more relaxed. B It’s often the opening lines that give us the most anxiety. C. Their hearts race and their hands sweat at the very thought of it. D. People who feel comfortable in social situations may experience telephobia. E. The most important thing is to be aware of your fear and take steps to deal with it. F. You can even write down some brief notes to remind yourself of your talking. G. There’s nothing wrong with calling the person back later when you feel more comfortable. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. A 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了电话恐惧症并提出一些建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“However, this simple act can actually be a nightmare for some people.(然而，这个简单的行为对于有些人来说，实际上可能是一场噩梦)”可知，有些人会害怕打电话，C选项“Their heart race and their hands sweat at the very thought of it.(一想到这件事，他们就心跳加速，双手汗流浃背。)”承接上文，进一步说明了这一噩梦带来的影响，且句中的“it”指代的为“打电话”这一行为。上下文语意连贯。故选C项。 【17题详解】 下文“When speaking face-to-face, we use facial expressions and gestures that help each other follow the conversation.
