They see pictures online and think life in other countries must be exciting and easy. However, when they really arrive in a new country, they may experience strong feelings of confusion and worry. This is called “culture shock.” Culture shock happens because people enter a new environment where language, customs, body language and social rules are completely different. Simple activities like eating, shopping or asking for help can become difficult and stressful. People may feel homesick, lonely or even angry without clear reasons. Yet culture shock is not completely bad. It helps people grow. By facing difficulties, students learn to be more independent and openminded. They begin to understand and respect different cultures. Slowly, they learn to enjoy the new lifestyle and make new friends. The key to solving culture shock is to keep an open mind, ask questions and not give up easily. Every challenging experience will finally become a helpful lesson in life. Questions 1.What is culture shock according to the passage? A. Excitement when traveling B. Confusion in a new culture C. Homesickness after returning home D. Anger toward foreign people 2.Why does culture shock happen? A. Because people travel too much B. Because people dislike their own country C. Because social rules are very different D. Because people have no friends 3.What good effect does culture shock have? A. It makes people dependent B. It helps people grow C. It brings easy life D.

Doubtful B The Value of Failure Society frequently portrays failure as something dreadful that should be avoided at all costs. Students dread performing poorly on examinations, while adults fear professional setbacks. However, failure is not the adversary of success; rather, it constitutes an essential component of the journey toward achievement. Failure imparts invaluable lessons that success cannot offer. When we experience failure, we are compelled to scrutinize our errors, identify our vulnerabilities, and refine our approaches. Countless significant inventions and discoveries emerged only after numerous unsuccessful attempts. Without experimentation and occasional failure, humanity would never innovate or advance. What truly matters is not whether we fail, but how we respond to failure. If we surrender after encountering failure, we will never attain success. Conversely, if we rise again, extract wisdom from our mistakes, and persist in our efforts, failure transforms into a stepping stone toward our aspirations. Genuinely successful individuals are not those who never experience failure, but those who refuse to abandon their goals when they do. Questions 5. What is the common perception of failure mentioned in the passage? A. It is essential. B. It is dreadful. C. It is beneficial. D. It is straightforward. 6. What can failure teach us according to the text? A. How to evade examinations B. How to recognize our weaknesses C. How to develop fear of challenges D. How to quit effortlessly 7. What does the expression "stepping stone" most likely mean in this context? A. An obstacle that blocks progress B. A means of advancing toward a goal C. A dividing line between two states D. An exceptionally high standard 8. What is the central message of this passage? A. Failure can ultimately contribute to success. B. We should strive never to fail. C. Success is universally attainable. D. Inventions require no failure. C Digital Minimalism In contemporary society, numerous individuals report feeling exhausted and restless even after adequate rest. A significant contributing factor is their excessive engagement with digital devices. Smartphones, social media platforms, and short video applications occupy their leisure time, keeping their minds perpetually active and preventing genuine relaxation. In response to this issue, some individuals have adopted a practice known as "digital minimalism." Digital minimalism does not entail completely abandoning phones or technology. Instead, it involves utilizing digital tools exclusively when they serve genuinely necessary and beneficial purposes. Practitioners establish clear time limitations for social media usage. They allocate more time to reading, physical exercise, meaningful conversations with family members, or pursuing hobbies. Many individuals report that after implementing digital minimalism, they experience greater tranquility and enhanced concentration. Their academic and professional productivity improves substantially. They begin to appreciate real-life experiences rather than being dominated by screens. Technology should serve humanity, not dominate it. Mastering the art of using digital tools judiciously represents an essential competency in modern life. Questions 9.

He rushed toward the nearby river and observed a young child struggling desperately in the water. The child lacked swimming ability and faced imminent danger. Without hesitation, Tom removed his backpack and plunged into the river. The water was frigid and swift, yet Tom bravely swam toward the child. He grasped the youngster and exerted every ounce of strength to swim back to the shore. With assistance from bystanders, both individuals emerged from the water safely.

Individuals possessing critical thinking abilities can distinguish truth from falsehood. They neither blindly follow popular opinion nor act without forethought. Critical thinking benefits students in numerous ways. It enhances their academic performance, decision-making capabilities, and problem-solving skills. Additionally, it cultivates independence and responsibility. Educational institutions and parents should foster independent thinking in children. The capacity to think clearly and judiciously will contribute to students' success not merely in examinations but throughout their future lives. Questions 17.

Her shoulders were 27 , and she kept wiping her eyes. Just as I was about to go over to her, I saw Mark, one of the popular boys in our grade, 28 toward her table. My heart sank. Mark had a reputation for making 29 comments, and I feared he would make Sarah feel even worse. But what happened next 30 me completely. Mark sat down across from Sarah and said something quietly. She looked up, surprised. He didn't laugh or make jokes. Instead, he just sat there, 31 to her as she talked. After a few minutes, Sarah actually 32 a little. It was a small smile, but it was real. Later, I asked Sarah what Mark had said. She told me he had simply asked if she was okay and if he could 33 anything to help. He had noticed she was upset and wanted to make sure she wasn't 34 . That day, I learned that true courage isn't always about doing something 35 or dramatic. Sometimes, it's about having the bravery to reach out to someone who is 36 , even when you're not sure what to say. Mark risked his social 37 by sitting with someone who was sad and alone. In our school's social world, that was not the "cool" thing to do. Since then, I've tried to be more like Mark. When I see someone who seems 38 , I make an effort to check on them. It's not always easy, and sometimes I feel 39, but I remember how Mark's small act of kindness made a huge difference to Sarah. True friendship means being there for others, especially when they need it most. It doesn't require grand gestures—just a 40 heart and the courage to show it. 26.

In the past, people used to write letters or visit friends in person. Nowadays, however, we prefer 41 (send) messages online or make video calls. There is no doubt that technology has made communication much 42 (convenient) than before. But is it really a good thing? It seems that many people are becoming "strangers" to those closest to them. They spend hours on social media, 43 (post) photos and commenting, yet they seldom have a face-to-face talk with family members. I still remember the days 44 I sat around the table with my parents, sharing stories and laughing together. Now, such moments 45 (become) rare. What worries me most is 46 young people are losing the ability to communicate in real life. They feel nervous when they have to speak in public or express 47 (they) feelings directly. If this trend continues, human relationships 48 (harm) in the long run. It is time that we 49 (reflect) on our habits. We should put down our phones and spend quality time with loved ones. After all, nothing can take the place of 50 (person)communication. Only by doing so can we build deeper relationships. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
