Once, she even hid in a hen house for hours just to watch how a hen laid an egg. Her parents were happy to see her love for nature and gave her a toy chimpanzee named Jubilee. This toy made Jane dream of working with animals one day. When Jane grew up, she went to Africa to study chimpanzees. At first, the chimpanzees were frightened of her. They ran away when they saw her. But Jane didn’t give up. She sat quietly in the forest every day, watching them from far away. Slowly, the chimpanzees got used to her. She even gave them names like David and Goliath. Jane found many amazing things about chimpanzees. She saw that they used sticks to get insects to eat. Before that, people thought only humans could use tools. She also saw that chimpanzees loved their families. Mothers took good care of their babies, and chimpanzees played together like children. Later, Jane wanted to tell the world about chimpanzees. She wrote books and gave talks. She wanted people to know that chimpanzees are smart and need our help. Now, many forests where chimpanzees live are being cut down. Therefore, Jane started groups to protect these forests and the chimpanzees. Jane passed away last month. When she was over 90 years old, she still worked hard for animals. She traveled around the world, telling kids to love nature. She once said, “Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play.” Jane Goodall’s love for animals teaches us to care for our planet and all the living things on it. 4. What inspired Jane Goodall to work with animals? A. Watching a hen lay an egg. B. Travelling to Africa as a child. C Receiving a toy chimpanzee. D. Reading books about wild animals. 5. What was one of Jane’s key findings about chimpanzees? A. They were able to use tools. B. They lived in large families. C. They were afraid of human beings. D. They liked to play with each other. 6. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To call on people to work with animals. B. To tell the life story of a famous scientist. C. To describe the living habits of chimpanzees. D. To compare human and chimpanzee behaviors. 7. Which of the following best describes Jane Goodall? A. Courageous. B. Humorous. C. Hardworking. D. Independent. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了动物学家简·古道尔的生平事迹，包括她童年对动物的热爱、成年后前往非洲研究黑猩猩的经历、重要科研发现，以及她毕生致力于宣传和保护黑猩猩与自然的贡献。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Her parents were happy to see her love for nature and gave her a toy chimpanzee named Jubilee. This toy made Jane dream of working with animals one day. (她的父母很高兴看到她对自然的热爱，送给她一只名叫朱比利的黑猩猩玩具。这个玩具让简梦想有一天能和动物一起工作。)”可知，收到黑猩猩玩具激发了简·古道尔与动物共事的愿望。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“She saw that they used sticks to get insects to eat. Before that, people thought only humans could use tools. (她看到它们用树枝捕捉昆虫吃。在此之前，人们认为只有人类会使用工具。)”可知，简关于黑猩猩的关键发现之一是它们能够使用工具。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章按时间顺序讲述了简·古道尔从童年热爱动物、成年后研究黑猩猩，到晚年致力于动物保护的完整人生历程，核心是介绍这位著名科学家的生平故事。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“At first, the chimpanzees were frightened of her. They ran away when they saw her. But Jane didn’t give up. She sat quietly in the forest every day, watching them from far away. (起初，黑猩猩们很害怕她。它们一看到她就跑开了。但简没有放弃。她每天安静地坐在森林里，从很远的地方观察它们)”以及第五段“When she was over 90 years old, she still worked hard for animals. She traveled around the world, telling kids to love nature. (90多岁时，她仍然为动物们辛勤工作。她环游世界，告诉孩子们要热爱自然)”可知，简·古道尔为了研究和保护动物坚持不懈、毕生操劳，“勤奋的”最能形容她。故选C。 C For anyone connected with a school, the last couple of weeks should have been a pile-up of plays, choir performances, and talent shows. But a report found, alarmingly, that 53% of primaries and 63% of secondaries that normally hold a festive concert at the end of the first term did not do so. It is deeply troubling that music is no longer being taught to 11-to-14-year-olds in more than half of state secondaries. And some children get as little as one day of music lesson a year. If this situation is allowed to continue, music-making will become the preserve of those who can afford it. And the intense competition for better academic performance has only sped up this trend. A survey published this month of more than 1, 300 music teachers found that a third of British primary schools are not singing, while a quarter have ceased instrumental lessons. Almost three-quarters of primary and two-thirds of secondary schools have cancelled extracurricular music. Though a sharp decline of music provision is due to various social factors, Ofsted appeared to put this down to schools themselves, rather than pointing the finger at the government’s silence to educators’ appeal. This is very sad and shortsighted. On the most basic level, music aids academic achievement. Research suggests that music-making improves speech and literacy. But academic progress is too narrow a standard of success. In her book, Joan Koenig argues that music is fundamental to a well-functioning society. Besides that, music-making nurtures sympathy and belonging. “People stand a much better chance of finding meaning and happiness in their lives if they feel that they belong,” as Koenig puts it. “Studies show that group musical practice can create and enhance this feeling. It is when people don’t have a sense of belonging that things go wrong.” In this time of uncertainty and fear, ensuring that all children can access music-making is a cause deserving meaningful support and attention from ministers. 8. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. Educators are appealing for investment. B. Schools merely value academic achievements. C. Music lessons are nearly absent from classrooms. D. Parents cannot afford students’ music lessons. 9. According to Ofsted, who is to blame for the affected music provision? A. The schools. B. The educators. C. The government. D. The researchers. 10. What does the underlined word “nurtures” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Promotes. B. Deserves. C. Symbolizes. D. Worsens. 11. What does the author mainly convey in the last paragraph? A. Music education is optional. B. Music education calls for backup. C. Music-making is tough. D. Music-making makes sense. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如今学校音乐课逐渐消失的现象，说明了音乐的好处。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“It is deeply troubling that music is no longer being taught to 11-to-14-year-olds in more than half of state secondaries. And some children get as little as one day of music lesson a year. If this situation is allowed to continue, music-making will become the preserve of those who can afford it. And the intense competition for better academic performance has only sped up this trend. A survey published this month of more than 1, 300 music teachers found that a third of British primary schools are not singing, while a quarter have ceased instrumental lessons. Almost three-quarters of primary and two-thirds of secondary schools have cancelled extracurricular music. Though a sharp decline of music provision is due to various social factors, Ofsted appeared to put this down to schools themselves, rather than pointing the finger at the government’s silence to educators’ appeal.(令人深感不安的是，超过一半的公立中学不再教授11到14岁的学生音乐。有些孩子一年只上一天音乐课。如果这种情况继续下去，音乐创作将成为那些负担得起的人的专利。为了更好的学习成绩而进行的激烈竞争只会加速这一趋势。本月公布的一项对1300多名音乐教师的调查发现，英国三分之一的小学不唱歌，四分之一的小学停止了乐器课。近四分之三的小学和三分之二的中学已经取消了课外音乐活动。尽管音乐教学数量的急剧下降是由各种社会因素造成的，但Ofsted似乎把这归咎于学校本身，而不是指责政府对教育工作者的呼吁无动于衷)”可知，第二段主要讲的是教室里几乎没有音乐课。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Though a sharp decline of music provision is due to various social factors, Ofsted appeared to put this down to schools themselves, rather than pointing the finger at the government’s silence to educators’ appeal. (尽管音乐教学数量的急剧下降是由各种社会因素造成的，但Ofsted似乎把这归咎于学校本身，而不是指责政府对教育工作者的呼吁无动于衷)”可知，学校应该为受影响的音乐供应负责。故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“sympathy and belonging. “People stand a much better chance of finding meaning and happiness in their lives if they feel that they belong,” as Koenig puts it.”可知，正如柯尼格所说，如果人们觉得自己有归属感，他们就更有可能找到生活的意义和幸福。可见音乐创作还能培养同情心和归属感。故画线词意思是“培养”。A. Promotes.培养；B. Deserves.值得；C. Symbolizes.象征；D. Worsens.恶化。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In this time of uncertainty and fear, ensuring that all children can access music-making is a cause deserving meaningful support and attention from ministers.(在这个充满不确定性和恐惧的时代，确保所有儿童都能接触到音乐创作是一项值得牧师们给予有意义的支持和关注的事业)”可知，作者在最后一段主要表达了音乐教育需要支援。故选B。 D Have you ever encountered someone who appeared confident before they started speaking? Maybe they entered a room with a relaxed manner, a calm expression, and a clear sense of self-confidence. However, confidence isn’t something you’re born with. It is a skill that can be cultivated and one of the best ways to start is mastering your body language. Your body constantly sends signals to those around you. The way you sit, stand and move reveals how you perceive yourself. So when you adopt confident body language, it not only influences how others perceive you but also, over time, can fundamentally change your internal state, making you feel more confident. Several key aspects of non-verbal behavior contribute to this view. Firstly, gesture or posture is essential. You should maintain a straight back with relaxed shoulders, while avoiding crossed arms or eyes fixed on the floor. The pace of movement also matters. When you walk, move at a steady, natural pace: Rushing can make you look nervous, while smooth movements demonstrate calmness and self-control. Furthermore, eye contact is another crucial element of confident communication. Looking at the person you’re talking to shows that you’re listening and interested. You don’t have to stare continuously; occasional eye contact is sufficient. For those who find direct eye contact challenging, try focusing on the area near their eyes instead. Specific gestures further strengthen the image of confidence. You should keep your hands visible and relaxed, rather than hidden in pockets, which appears more open. A handshake should be firm yet friendly, accompanied by natural eye contact and a smile, lasting about three seconds. Additionally, subtle (微妙的) gestures can boost interpersonal connection. Leaning slightly forward while someone speaks signals concentration. Mirroring, or gently adopting similar postures or gestures to your conversation partner, can promote a sense of connection and make the interaction feel more natural and harmonious. In conclusion, confidence is not just a feeling inside; it’s something you can show through practice. As your body begins to reflect confidence, your mind will soon follow. 12. What is the function of paragraph 1? A. To lead into the topic. B. To share a study. C. To make a warning. D. To introduce a new concept. 13. Why does the author suggest maintaining a straight back? A. It improves people’s health. B. It slows down people’s movement. C. It helps people feel more confident. D. It affects people’s opinions of others. 14. How does the author mainly organize paragraph 4? A. By describing a process in time sequence. B. By explaining a cause and its various effects. C. By comparing and contrasting two different gestures. D. By stating a general idea and giving specific examples. 15. What does the author want to tell us? A. Confident body language only influences others’ opinions of us. B. Continuous eye contact is necessary for confident communication. C. Confidence can be shown through body language and improved with practice. D. Mirroring others’ gestures only makes them feel uncomfortable during interaction. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了自信并非与生俱来，而是一种可以通过掌握肢体语言来培养的技能。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“However, confidence isn’t something you’re born with. It is a skill that can be cultivated and one of the best ways to start is mastering your body language.(然而，自信不是与生俱来的。它是一种可以培养的技能，而最好的方法之一就是掌握你的肢体语言。)”以及下文的内容可知，第一段的作用是引出话题，表明自信是可以培养的。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“So when you adopt confident body language, it not only influences how others perceive you but also, over time, can fundamentally change your internal state, making you feel more confident.(所以当你使用自信的肢体语言时，它不仅会影响别人对你的看法，久而久之还能从根本上改变你的内心状态，让你感觉更自信。)”可知，作者建议保持挺直的背部是因为这能帮助人们感觉更自信。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Specific gestures further strengthen the image of confidence. You should keep your hands visible and relaxed, rather than hidden in pockets, which appears more open. A handshake should be firm yet friendly, accompanied by natural eye contact and a smile, lasting about three seconds. Additionally, subtle (微妙的) gestures can boost interpersonal connection. Leaning slightly forward while someone speaks signals concentration. Mirroring, or gently adopting similar postures or gestures to your conversation partner, can promote a sense of connection and make the interaction feel more natural and harmonious.(特定的肢体动作能进一步强化自信的形象。你应让双手保持可见且放松的状态，而非插在口袋里，这样会显得更坦诚。握手时要坚定而不失友善，同时配合自然的眼神交流与微笑，时长约三秒。此外，微妙的肢体动作还能增进人际联结：他人讲话时身体微微前倾，是专注倾听的信号；模仿对方的姿势或动作（即适度复刻交谈对象的体态），则能营造亲近感，让互动更自然、融洽。)”可知，作者先提出观点，再给出具体例子来组织第四段。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In conclusion, confidence is not just a feeling inside; it’s something you can show through practice. As your body begins to reflect confidence, your mind will soon follow.(总之，自信不仅仅是一种内心的感觉；你可以通过练习展现出来。当你的身体开始表现出自信时，你的思想很快也会跟上。)”以及上文内容可知，作者想要告诉我们自信可以通过肢体语言展现，并通过练习得到提升。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 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。 Building Skills in the Digital Age In a digital-first world, the ever-changing needs of all kinds of industries mean that no matter which field you choose, you need to be skilled at digital skills, such as using artificial intelligence (AI), digital communication and so on. ____16____.

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 (节奏) 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 missing 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. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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, Mr 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. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者去当交换生为线索展开，讲述了作者是一位中国高中生，到英国巴斯交换一年。初到时，巴斯的风景和寄宿家庭的热情让他感到新奇，但英国的教育方式和口音让他不适应，加上文化差异，他开始想家。在寄宿家庭和朋友的帮助下，他逐渐适应，分享中国文化，加入辩论社和志愿者活动。最终，他在巴斯找到了归属感。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“意识到我的挣扎，我周围的人都站出来支持我”可知，第一段可描写寄宿家庭的成员提供支持，让作者有家的感觉，学校里老师提供学业上的帮助，同学邀请作者参加各种活动。 ②由第二段首句内容“渐渐地，我开始适应这里的生活”可知，第二段可描写作者和寄宿家庭分享中国文化，在学校里提升英语水平，和更多的人交流，作者融入这里的生活，收获了紧密的联系。 2. 续写线索：周围人支持作者——寄宿家庭的支持——学校里的支持——作者逐渐适应——在寄宿家庭和学校的活动——作者融入这里 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①安慰：comfort/console/relieve ②提高：improve/sharpen ③收获：gain/obtain/attain ④遇到：meet/come across/encounter 情绪类 ①耐心的：patient/forbearing ②犹豫的：hesitant/tentative 【点睛】[高分句型1] I joined the school’s debate club, which helped me improve my English and gain confidence in speaking.

B Jane Goodall was born on April 3, 1934, in London, England. When she was a little girl, she loved animals very much. Once, she even hid in a hen house for hours just to watch how a hen laid an egg. Her parents were happy to see her love for nature and gave her a toy chimpanzee named Jubilee. This toy made Jane dream of working with animals one day. When Jane grew up, she went to Africa to study chimpanzees. At first, the chimpanzees were frightened of her. They ran away when they saw her. But Jane didn’t give up. She sat quietly in the forest every day, watching them from far away. Slowly, the chimpanzees got used to her. She even gave them names like David and Goliath. Jane found many amazing things about chimpanzees. She saw that they used sticks to get insects to eat. Before that, people thought only humans could use tools. She also saw that chimpanzees loved their families. Mothers took good care of their babies, and chimpanzees played together like children. Later, Jane wanted to tell the world about chimpanzees. She wrote books and gave talks. She wanted people to know that chimpanzees are smart and need our help. Now, many forests where chimpanzees live are being cut down. Therefore, Jane started groups to protect these forests and the chimpanzees. Jane passed away last month. When she was over 90 years old, she still worked hard for animals. She traveled around the world, telling kids to love nature. She once said, “Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play.” Jane Goodall’s love for animals teaches us to care for our planet and all the living things on it. 4. What inspired Jane Goodall to work with animals? A. Watching a hen lay an egg. B. Travelling to Africa as a child. C. Receiving a toy chimpanzee. D. Reading books about wild animals. 5. What was one of Jane’s key findings about chimpanzees? A. They were able to use tools. B. They lived in large families. C. They were afraid of human beings. D. They liked to play with each other. 6. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To call on people to work with animals. B. To tell the life story of a famous scientist. C. To describe the living habits of chimpanzees. D. To compare human and chimpanzee behaviors. 7. Which of the following best describes Jane Goodall? A. Courageous. B. Humorous. C. Hardworking. D. Independent. C For anyone connected with a school, the last couple of weeks should have been a pile-up of plays, choir performances, and talent shows. But a report found, alarmingly, that 53% of primaries and 63% of secondaries that normally hold a festive concert at the end of the first term did not do so. It is deeply troubling that music is no longer being taught to 11-to-14-year-olds in more than half of state secondaries. And some children get as little as one day of music lesson a year. If this situation is allowed to continue music-making will become the preserve of those who can afford it. And the intense competition for better academic performance has only sped up this trend. A survey published this month of more than 1, 300 music teachers found that a third of British primary schools are not singing, while a quarter have ceased instrumental lessons. Almost three-quarters of primary and two-thirds of secondary schools have cancelled extracurricular music. Though a sharp decline of music provision is due to various social factors, Ofsted appeared to put this down to schools themselves, rather than pointing the finger at the government’s silence to educators’ appeal. This is very sad and shortsighted. On the most basic level, music aids academic achievement. Research suggests that music-making improves speech and literacy. But academic progress is too narrow a standard of success. In her book, Joan Koenig argues that music is fundamental to a well-functioning society. Besides that, music-making nurtures sympathy and belonging. “People stand a much better chance of finding meaning and happiness in their lives if they feel that they belong,” as Koenig puts it. “Studies show that group musical practice can create and enhance this feeling. It is when people don’t have a sense of belonging that things go wrong.” In this time of uncertainty and fear, ensuring that all children can access music-making is a cause deserving meaningful support and attention from ministers. 8. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. Educators are appealing for investment. B. Schools merely value academic achievements. C. Music lessons are nearly absent from classrooms. D. Parents cannot afford students’ music lessons. 9. According to Ofsted, who is to blame for the affected music provision? A. The schools. B. The educators. C. The government. D. The researchers. 10. What does the underlined word “nurtures” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Promotes. B. Deserves. C. Symbolizes. D. Worsens. 11. What does the author mainly convey in the last paragraph? A. Music education is optional. B. Music education calls for backup. C. Music-making is tough. D. Music-making makes sense. D Have you ever encountered someone who appeared confident before they started speaking? Maybe they entered a room with a relaxed manner, a calm expression, and a clear sense of self-confidence. However, confidence isn’t something you’re born with. It is a skill that can be cultivated and one of the best ways to start is mastering your body language. Your body constantly sends signals to those around you. The way you sit, stand and move reveals how you perceive yourself. So when you adopt confident body language, it not only influences how others perceive you but also, over time, can fundamentally change your internal state, making you feel more confident. Several key aspects of non-verbal behavior contribute to this view. Firstly, gesture or posture is essential. You should maintain a straight back with relaxed shoulders, while avoiding crossed arms or eyes fixed on the floor. The pace of movement also matters. When you walk, move at a steady, natural pace: Rushing can make you look nervous, while smooth movements demonstrate calmness and self-control. Furthermore, eye contact is another crucial element of confident communication. Looking at the person you’re talking to shows that you’re listening and interested. You don’t have to stare continuously; occasional eye contact is sufficient. For those who find direct eye contact challenging, try focusing on the area near their eyes instead. Specific gestures further strengthen the image of confidence. You should keep your hands visible and relaxed, rather than hidden in pockets, which appears more open. A handshake should be firm yet friendly, accompanied by natural eye contact and a smile, lasting about three seconds. Additionally, subtle (微妙的) gestures can boost interpersonal connection. Leaning slightly forward while someone speaks signals concentration. Mirroring, or gently adopting similar postures or gestures to your conversation partner, can promote a sense of connection and make the interaction feel more natural and harmonious. In conclusion, confidence is not just a feeling inside; it’s something you can show through practice. As your body begins to reflect confidence, your mind will soon follow. 12. What is the function of paragraph 1? A. To lead into the topic. B. To share a study. C. To make a warning. D. To introduce a new concept. 13. Why does the author suggest maintaining a straight back? A. It improves people’s health. B. It slows down people’s movement. C. It helps people feel more confident. D. It affects people’s opinions of others. 14. How does the author mainly organize paragraph 4? A. By describing a process in time sequence. B. By explaining a cause and its various effects. C. By comparing and contrasting two different gestures.

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 (节奏) 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 missing 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. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Gradually, I began to adapt to (适应) the life here. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
