I was attracted to Spanish and had lived in Spain for many years. When I returned to my home in the UK, I spoke less Spanish as a result. Although these things were mostly unrelated, they were connected. I didn’t realize at the time, but speaking Spanish was actually a way to take care of myself. I was trapped by anxious thoughts, and finally, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a type of obsessive-compulsive disorder or OCD (强迫症). When my OCD worsened, I often struggled with my thoughts.
Breaking the cycle of repetitive thoughts on a good day is impossibly hard. On a bad day, it’s simply not possible. It’s like my mind is trying to do too many things at once. This makes recovery challenging since it’s hard to find something that truly catches my attention and pulls me from my worrying thoughts.
One day, soon after my diagnosis, I met a Colombian friend at a supermarket. We talked while waiting in line. During our conversation, I noticed something amazing: I was so focused on him that I wasn’t thinking about anything else. This made me realize why I have always loved languages. When I speak Spanish, I feel happier and more relaxed, almost as if I am communicating in my native language.
Recognizing the connection between speaking Spanish and finding mental (精神的) peace felt like discovering a superpower. If I can’t find someone to speak Spanish with, I listen to English songs and translate them in my mind, which helps me relax. I often watch Spanish movies and listen to my favorite Spanish music. This helps me keep my concern at a manageable level.
It’s easy to list the most obvious advantages of learning languages. You’ll be able to communicate when travelling abroad, and you’ll build friendships. But, for me, Spanish has always been about feeling good more than anything else. And that’s what truly matters.
24. What happened to the author when he returned to the UK?
A. He lost his home. B. He became relaxed. C. He forgot the past. D. He suffered worry.
25. How did the conversation with a Colombian friend affect the author?
A. He found inner peace. B. He started learning English.
C. He felt quite lonely. D. He disliked going shopping.
26. Why does the author listen to Spanish music?
A. It helps him create songs. B. It improves his mental health.
C. It makes his daily life busy. D. It pushes him to do a better job.
27. What does the author think of learning Spanish?
A. It is relaxing. B. It is difficult. C. It is helpful. D. It is annoying.
C
Specializing (专攻) in one sport early in a child’s athletic career is often a way to win college scholarships (奖学金) or even go on to be the professionals (职业运动员). However, researchers at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine’s Annual Meeting in Toronto, Canada, say “not so fast”.
“Our study, which is the largest study so far examining the topic of single (单一的) sports specialization, helps to understand present situation of specialization in youth sports,”said Patrick S. Buckley, MD of the Rothman Institute at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, PA. “Our results showed that present high school athletes specialized two years earlier than present college and professional athletes. The results of our study suggest that specialization at a very young age does not increase the possibility of an athlete achieving top position within his/ her sport.”
Buckley and his team did a survey to high school, college and professional athletes before their yearly pre-participation physical exam. A total of 3,090 people completed the survey. The age of single sport specialization obviously differed among groups and happened at an age of 12.7 ± 2.4 for high school, 14.8 ± 2.5 for college students and 14.1 ± 2.8 for professional athletes. More than 80% of athletes from all study groups reported that they were glad they had focused on a single sport at the age they did. Present high school and college participants (参与者) also reported more sports-related injury than present professional athletes, some of whom noted that their injuries could be from too much play.
“More research needs to be done to fully understand the benefits and risks related with sport specialization at young ages and establish evidence-based strategies to optimize (使优化) the sport experience for kids while minimizing injury. In addition, we must continue to educate parents, coaches, medical professionals and athletes on the do’s or don’ts of safe play to keep kids active for life,” said Buckley.
28. What does the underlined phrase “not so fast” mean in the first paragraph?
A. The study was conducted too quickly.
B. Kids needn’t rush into specialization early.
C. The results of the research came out not fast.
D. The researchers were not strict in their work.
29. What can we learn from the survey on sport specialization?
A. High school athletes specialized later.
B. Professional athletes had fewer injuries.
C. College athletes specialized at about 14.1.
D. Most athletes recognized early specialization.
30. What is the researchers’ attitude to early sport specialization?
A. Disapproving. B. Supportive.
C Careful. D. Uncaring.
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Early Sport Specialization Is Being Challenged
B. Sports: a Key to Getting a College Scholarship
C. Injuries in Sports Are Becoming a Major Worry
D. Early Sport Specialization Leads to Early Success
D
When you listen to people speaking a language you don’t understand, it might seem like the words are flying past your ears at lightning speed.
But some languages really do seem to be spoken faster than others. Even if you know a little Spanish or Japanese, watching a TV show in those languages can be difficult! There’s a good reason for this — they are spoken faster! According to a 2019 study, speakers of these languages use more syllables (音节) per second.
In these two languages, speakers use almost eight syllables per second. Researchers studied 17 different languages. They took 170 recordings of native speakers reading the same 20 texts translated into their language and compared the speeds. For example, Mandarin (普通话) was spoken at just over five syllables per second. But this doesn’t mean that conversations in Mandarin last much longer than those in Japanese. Researchers found that while languages are spoken at different speeds, the rate at which people communicate information is about the same.
So how does that work? To understand more, the researchers looked at each syllable in the texts to see how much information each one carries. Some single syllable words give us a lot of information; for example, the words “hope” or “love” in English. These words give us much more information than many single syllables that are just sounds or parts of words.
Some languages are packed more densely (稠密地) with information, so speakers don’t need many syllables to communicate the same amount of information. The average Spanish syllable is not densely packed with information, so people speak faster. Mandarin, however, is densely packed with information, so it is spoken more slowly. This means that everyone finishes communicating at about the same time!
32. Why are Spanish and Japanese mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To stress they are popular with TV. B. To explain how they are developed.
C. To prove why they are hard to learn. D. To state some languages are spoken quickly.
33. Which part is focused on in the study?
A. People’s identities. B. Language speeds.
C. Content of the text. D. Conversation time.
34. How did the researchers study the information rate in languages?
A. By analyzing information on each syllable. B. By comparing sentence lengths.
C. By measuring speaking speed. D. By counting words.
35. What do researchers find in the end?
A. Mandarin uses more syllables than Japanese.
B. People need less time to understand Spanish.
C. More syllable words mean more information.
D. People speaking different languages communicate information at similar rates.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I started my second year of high school an exciting opportunity came my way: a year-long exchange program in Bath, England. The thought of studying abroad filled me with both excitement and anticipation (期盼). The chance to experience a new culture, improve my English, and make international friends seemed like a dream that comes true.
I managed to apply for a host family, read about rules and how to survive homesickness, and research about Bath on the Internet. With all preparations made, I was on a plane to Bath, my heart racing with a mix of eagerness and nerves.
Upon arrival, the picturesque city with its historic architecture and beautiful streets attracted me. My host family, Mr Smith, Mrs Smith, and their son Mark, welcomed me warmly, which immediately put me at ease. After my settlement at their home, I quickly found comfort in my new surroundings.
Then came my first week at school, which, however, turned out to be a whirlwind (一片忙乱) besides a feeling of freshness. The education system was different from what I was used to in my hometown. Classes were more discussion-based, and I was encouraged to express my opinions, which I wasn’t comfortable with at first. My teachers and classmates were friendly and curious about my background, often asking questions about my life in China. However, I struggled to keep up with the fast-paced (快节奏的) conversations. The British accent, with its unique slang (俚语), often made it hard for me to understand. There were moments in class when I felt lost, unable to fully understand the discussions or contribute meaningfully. This was frustrating (令人沮丧的), as I had always been a top student back home.
Along with the new experience at school, homesickness began to set in. I missed my family, friends, and the familiar rhythm of life back in China. The cultural differences, from food to social rules, made me hard to get used to at times. I found myself longing for a taste of my home, both physically and mentally.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Recognizing my struggle, people around me stepped in to support me.

【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Collar, France标题下“It is easy to understand why this small town in the A ls ace region of France is called “Little Venice” Along its canal, perfect for a relaxing boat ride, you will find colorful buildings and stone streets.(很容易理解为什么这个位于法国东部地区的小镇被称为“小威尼斯”。沿着运河,你会发现色彩缤纷的建筑和石头街道,这是一个放松的乘船旅行的完美选择)”可知,Collar的游客有机会乘坐水上交通工具欣赏风景。故选A。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Bibury, England标题下“The town still has the old-fashioned homes, and plain charm that any fairy should start in.(镇上仍然有老式的房子,还有任何童话故事都应该从那里开始的朴素魅力)”可知,Bibury保持了它朴素的美。故选A。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据Bojnice Castle, Slovakia标题下“If you had to pick a castle with princess elements (元素), this would be it.(如果你必须选择一座有公主元素的城堡,那就是这座了)”以及Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany标题下“In fact, Neuschwanstein Castle is actually the inspiration for the castle of a fairy princess in a famous theme park.(事实上,新天鹅堡实际上是一个著名主题公园里童话公主城堡的灵感来源)”可知,波尼斯城堡和新天鹅堡的共同之处是都包含公主元素。故选B。

I was attracted to Spanish and had lived in Spain for many years. When I returned to my home in the UK, I spoke less Spanish as a result. Although these things were mostly unrelated, they were connected. I didn’t realize at the time, but speaking Spanish was actually a way to take care of myself. I was trapped by anxious thoughts, and finally, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a type of obsessive-compulsive disorder or OCD (强迫症). When my OCD worsened, I often struggled with my thoughts.
Breaking the cycle of repetitive thoughts on a good day is impossibly hard. On a bad day, it’s simply not possible. It’s like my mind is trying to do too many things at once. This makes recovery challenging since it’s hard to find something that truly catches my attention and pulls me from my worrying thoughts.
One day, soon after my diagnosis, I met a Colombian friend at a supermarket. We talked while waiting in line. During our conversation, I noticed something amazing: I was so focused on him that I wasn’t thinking about anything else. This made me realize why I have always loved languages. When I speak Spanish, I feel happier and more relaxed, almost as if I am communicating in my native language.
Recognizing the connection between speaking Spanish and finding mental (精神的) peace felt like discovering a superpower. If I can’t find someone to speak Spanish with, I listen to English songs and translate them in my mind, which helps me relax. I often watch Spanish movies and listen to my favorite Spanish music. This helps me keep my concern at a manageable level.
It’s easy to list the most obvious advantages of learning languages. You’ll be able to communicate when travelling abroad, and you’ll build friendships. But, for me, Spanish has always been about feeling good more than anything else. And that’s what truly matters.
24. What happened to the author when he returned to the UK?
A. He lost his home. B. He became relaxed. C. He forgot the past. D. He suffered worry.
25. How did the conversation with a Colombian friend affect the author?
A. He found inner peace. B. He started learning English.

C. It makes his daily life busy. D. It pushes him to do a better job.
27. What does the author think of learning Spanish?
A. It is relaxing. B. It is difficult. C. It is helpful. D. It is annoying.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. C

Specializing (专攻) in one sport early in a child’s athletic career is often a way to win college scholarships (奖学金) or even go on to be the professionals (职业运动员). However, researchers at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine’s Annual Meeting in Toronto, Canada, say “not so fast”.
“Our study, which is the largest study so far examining the topic of single (单一的) sports specialization, helps to understand present situation of specialization in youth sports,”said Patrick S. Buckley, MD of the Rothman Institute at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, PA. “Our results showed that present high school athletes specialized two years earlier than present college and professional athletes. The results of our study suggest that specialization at a very young age does not increase the possibility of an athlete achieving top position within his/ her sport.”
Buckley and his team did a survey to high school, college and professional athletes before their yearly pre-participation physical exam. A total of 3,090 people completed the survey. The age of single sport specialization obviously differed among groups and happened at an age of 12.7 ± 2.4 for high school, 14.8 ± 2.5 for college students and 14.1 ± 2.8 for professional athletes. More than 80% of athletes from all study groups reported that they were glad they had focused on a single sport at the age they did. Present high school and college participants (参与者) also reported more sports-related injury than present professional athletes, some of whom noted that their injuries could be from too much play.
“More research needs to be done to fully understand the benefits and risks related with sport specialization at young ages and establish evidence-based strategies to optimize (使优化) the sport experience for kids while minimizing injury. In addition, we must continue to educate parents, coaches, medical professionals and athletes on the do’s or don’ts of safe play to keep kids active for life,” said Buckley.
28. What does the underlined phrase “not so fast” mean in the first paragraph?
A. The study was conducted too quickly.
B. Kids needn’t rush into specialization early.
C. The results of the research came out not fast.
D. The researchers were not strict in their work.
29 What can we learn from the survey on sport specialization?
A. High school athletes specialized later.
B. Professional athletes had fewer injuries.
C. College athletes specialized at about 14.1.
D. Most athletes recognized early specialization.
30. What is the researchers’ attitude to early sport specialization?
A. Disapproving. B. Supportive.
C. Careful. D. Uncaring.
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Early Sport Specialization Is Being Challenged
B. Sports: a Key to Getting a College Scholarship
C. Injuries in Sports Are Becoming a Major Worry
D. Early Sport Specialization Leads to Early Success
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了早期体育专项化(专攻某一体育项目)的做法正受到挑战,研究表明过早专项化并不会增加运动员在各自项目中取得顶尖地位的可能性。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第一段“Specializing (专攻) in one sport early in a child’s athletic career is often a way to win college scholarships (奖学金) or even go on to be the professionals (职业运动员). However, researchers at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine’s Annual Meeting in Toronto, Canada, say “not so fast”. (在孩子的运动生涯早期专攻一项运动通常是获得大学奖学金甚至成为职业运动员的一种方式。然而,在加拿大多伦多举行的美国运动医学骨科学会年会上,研究人员表示“not so fast”。)”和第二段中“The results of our study suggest that specialization at a very young age does not increase the possibility of an athlete achieving top position within his/ her sport. (我们的研究结果表明,在很小的时候进行专业化并不会增加运动员在其运动中取得顶尖地位的可能性。)”可知,此处是指不要太早开始专攻一项运动。故not so fast意为“孩子们不必过早地专攻一项运动”,与选项B“Kids needn’t rush into specialization early. (孩子们不必过早地进入专业领域。)”。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Present high school and college participants (参与者) also reported more sports-related injury than present professional athletes, some of whom noted that their injuries could be from too much play. (现在的高中生和大学生参与者报告的与运动相关的伤害也比现在的职业运动员多,其中一些人指出,他们的伤害可能是运动过度造成的。)”可知,职业运动员受伤较少。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段中““More research needs to be done to fully understand the benefits and risks related with sport specialization at young ages and establish evidence-based strategies to optimize (使优化) the sport experience for kids while minimizing injury. In addition, we must continue to educate parents, coaches, medical professionals and athletes on the do’s or don’ts of safe play to keep kids active for life,” said Buckley. (Buckley说:“我们需要进行更多的研究,以充分了解年轻时运动专项化的益处和风险,并建立基于证据的策略,以优化孩子的运动体验,同时最大限度地减少伤害。此外,我们必须继续向家长、教练、医疗专业人员和运动员宣传安全运动的方法和禁忌,让孩子终身保持活跃。”)”可知,他们并没有完全否定进行早期专项运动这件事,而是提出需要更多的研究来全面理解进行早期专项运动的利弊。由此可知,研究人员对进行早期专项运动的态度是谨慎的。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由第一段“Specializing (专攻) in one sport early in a child’s athletic career is often a way to win college scholarships (奖学金) or even go on to be the professionals (职业运动员). However, researchers at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine’s Annual Meeting in Toronto, Canada, say “not so fast”. (在孩子运动生涯的早期专攻一项运动,通常是赢得大学奖学金,甚至成为职业运动员的途径。然而,在加拿大多伦多举行的美国运动医学骨科协会年会上,研究人员表示“不要操之过急”。)”可知,文章主要介绍了早期专攻一项运动并不一定能带来好处,研究人员对此进行了相关研究。由此可知,A选项“Early Sport Specialization Is Being Challenged (早期运动专业化正受到挑战)”最符合文章标题。故选A。
D
When you listen to people speaking a language you don’t understand, it might seem like the words are flying past your ears at lightning speed.
But some languages really do seem to be spoken faster than others. Even if you know a little Spanish or Japanese, watching a TV show in those languages can be difficult! There’s a good reason for this — they are spoken faster! According to a 2019 study, speakers of these languages use more syllables (音节) per second.
In these two languages, speakers use almost eight syllables per second. Researchers studied 17 different languages. They took 170 recordings of native speakers reading the same 20 texts translated into their language and compared the speeds. For example, Mandarin (普通话) was spoken at just over five syllables per second. But this doesn’t mean that conversations in Mandarin last much longer than those in Japanese. Researchers found that while languages are spoken at different speeds, the rate at which people communicate information is about the same.
So how does that work? To understand more, the researchers looked at each syllable in the texts to see how much information each one carries. Some single syllable words give us a lot of information; for example, the words “hope” or “love” in English. These words give us much more information than many single syllables that are just sounds or parts of words.
Some languages are packed more densely (稠密地) with information, so speakers don’t need many syllables to communicate the same amount of information. The average Spanish syllable is not densely packed with information, so people speak faster. Mandarin, however, is densely packed with information, so it is spoken more slowly. This means that everyone finishes communicating at about the same time!
32. Why are Spanish and Japanese mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To stress they are popular with TV. B. To explain how they are developed.
C. To prove why they are hard to learn. D. To state some languages are spoken quickly.
33. Which part is focused on in the study?
A. People’s identities. B. Language speeds.
C. Content of the text. D. Conversation time.
34. How did the researchers study the information rate in languages?
A. By analyzing information on each syllable. B. By comparing sentence lengths.
C. By measuring speaking speed. D. By counting words.
35. What do researchers find in the end?
A. Mandarin uses more syllables than Japanese.
B. People need less time to understand Spanish.
C. More syllable words mean more information.
D. People speaking different languages communicate information at similar rates.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了不同语言的语速差异以及信息传递速率的研究。尽管有些语言语速较快,但研究发现,不同语言传递信息的速率大致相同,这取决于每个音节所携带的信息量。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“But some languages really do seem to be spoken faster than others. Even if you know a little Spanish or Japanese, watching a TV show in those languages can be difficult! There’s a good reason for this — they are spoken faster!(但有些语言确实似乎说得比其他语言快。即使你懂一点西班牙语或日语,看那些语言的电视节目也会很困难!这是有原因的——它们说得更快!)”可知,第二段提到西班牙语和日语是为了说明有些语言说得很快。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“They took 170 recordings of native speakers reading the same 20 texts translated into their language and compared the speeds.(他们录制了170段以母语为母语人阅读同一20篇翻译成他们语言的文本,并比较了语速。)”可知,研究的重点是语言速度。故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“To understand more, the researchers looked at each syllable in the texts to see how much information each one carries.(为了更深入地了解,研究人员查看了文本中的每个音节,以查看每个音节携带了多少信息。)”可知,研究人员是通过分析每个音节的信息来研究语言中的信息率的。故选A。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Researchers found that while languages are spoken at different speeds, the rate at which people communicate information is about the same.(研究人员发现,虽然语言的语速不同,但人们传递信息的速率大致相同。)”可知,研究人员最终发现说不同语言的人以相似的速率传递信息。故选D。

【导语】这是一篇说明文,介绍了中国和马来西亚因诸多共同的文化和传统价值观而在民间交流上联系紧密,以舞狮为例,说明舞狮在马来西亚深受喜爱以及其发展情况,今年是中马建交50周年,双方共同弘扬和保护这一文化遗产。
【56题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:马来人对舞狮非常感兴趣,这是一项一千多年前在中国出现的传统,在现代马来西亚有许多爱好者。本句为包含定语从句的复合句,先行词是a tradition,指物,关系词替代先行词在定语从句中作主语,用关系代词which/that,故填which/that。
【57题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:同上。lover 意为“爱好者”,空白处在句子中作宾语,使用名词,根据前面的many可知应使用复数形式,故填lovers。
【58题详解】
考查形容词。句意:18岁的Adzwin动作有力而充满活力,扮演狮尾的角色,与她的搭档们一起移动,优雅地跳跃并保持平衡。energy是名词,此处需要形容词energetic作定语修饰名词movements,故填energetic。
【59题详解】
考查副词。句意:18岁的Adzwin动作有力而充满活力,扮演狮尾的角色,与她的搭档们一起移动,优雅地跳跃并保持平衡。 修饰动词jumping需用副词,gracefully表示“优雅地”。 故填gracefully。
【60题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:Adzwin已经是该协会的成员五年了。根据时间状语for the past five years可知句子表示的是过去发生的动作对现在的影响,应使用现在完成时,主语Adzwin是第三人称单数,助动词用has,故填has been。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她努力练习,并与年龄在10到18岁的队友一起积累这种艺术形式的经验。make efforts to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“努力做某事”,故填to practice。
【62题详解】
考查介词短语。句意:首先,舞狮在中国的节日和庆祝活动中表演。at first为固定短语,意为“首先”,首字母大写,故填At。
【63题详解】
考查代词。句意:但随着马来西亚种族和文化的发展与融合,舞狮逐渐成为所有社区喜爱的文化活动,其文化价值得到了公众的广泛认可。空白处在句子中作定语,修饰后面的名词短语cultural value,应填入形容词性物主代词its,故填its。
【64题详解】
考查名词。句意:今年是中马建立外交关系50周年。分析句子结构,of后需用名词形式establishment作宾语。 故填establishment。
【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意:双方都将舞狮作为共享历史的一种方式来庆祝,并共同促进和保护这一遗产。way是可数名词,此处表示泛指“一种方式”,且way以辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a,故填a。

第二节 (满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I started my second year of high school, an exciting opportunity came my way: a year-long exchange program in Bath, England. The thought of studying abroad filled me with both excitement and anticipation (期盼). The chance to experience a new culture, improve my English, and make international friends seemed like a dream that comes true.
I managed to apply for a host family, read about rules and how to survive homesickness, and research about Bath on the Internet. With all preparations made, I was on a plane to Bath, my heart racing with a mix of eagerness and nerves.
Upon arrival, the picturesque city with its historic architecture and beautiful streets attracted me. My host family, Mr Smith, Mrs Smith, and their son Mark, welcomed me warmly, which immediately put me at ease. After my settlement at their home, I quickly found comfort in my new surroundings.
Then came my first week at school, which, however, turned out to be a whirlwind (一片忙乱) besides a feeling of freshness. The education system was different from what I was used to in my hometown. Classes were more discussion-based, and I was encouraged to express my opinions, which I wasn’t comfortable with at first. My teachers and classmates were friendly and curious about my background, often asking questions about my life in China. However, I struggled to keep up with the fast-paced (快节奏的) conversations. The British accent, with its unique slang (俚语), often made it hard for me to understand. There were moments in class when I felt lost, unable to fully understand the discussions or contribute meaningfully. This was frustrating (令人沮丧的), as I had always been a top student back home.
Along with the new experience at school, homesickness began to set in. I missed my family, friends, and the familiar rhythm of life back in China. The cultural differences, from food to social rules, made me hard to get used to at times. I found myself longing for a taste of my home, both physically and mentally.

Gradually, I began to adapt to (适应) the life here.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
Recognizing my struggle, people around me stepped in to support me. On weekends, Mrs Smith would take me on a trip to many attractions, some even I had only read about in textbooks. Mrs Smith went out of her way to make me feel at home by cooking Chinese dishes. Mike shared his own experiences of studying abroad to comfort me. At school, my teachers were patient and understanding, offering extra help with assignments and encouraging me to join clubs to make new friends. My classmates invited me to see movies, play hockey, and go to concerts. Everyone was warm, open, and never hesitant in offering help.
Gradually, I began to adapt to (适应) the life here. I offered to share Chinese culture with my host family. I joined the school’s debate club, which helped me improve my English and gain confidence in speaking. I also participated in a local volunteer group, where I met people from different backgrounds, each with their own unique stories. These experiences broadened my perspective and helped me feel more connected to my new environment. As the months passed, Bath began to feel like a second home. I developed a close connection with people here that I knew would last a lifetime.
