My Year of Studying Abroad
Last year, I left my hometown to study in a foreign country, and the new life was far more complex than I had expected. At first, everything felt strange, and I suffered from a serious culture shock and strong homesickness. I found it hard to recall even the simplest words in the local language, and I often stayed in my comfort zone, unwilling to engage with others. My advisor at the university gave me a clear expectation: to participate in school activities and speak up bravely in class. She told me that my qualification was good, but I still needed to qualify myself for the new environment. She also said that the best way to overcome my ambition of being perfect was to accept every small failure, and that I should try to feel at home in the new place as soon as possible.
Motivated by her words, I decided to make a change. I began to engage in every group discussion and to get involved in the student union, and my participation soon brought me many new friends. I gave a short presentation about my own country in class, and the teacher asked me to cite some famous writers in my speech, which made my talk more interesting. I joined a messenger club where we practised English every day, and I read the latest edition of the local newspaper to improve my reading. Slowly, the unfamiliar surroundings became more familiar, and the surrounding streets no longer seemed frightening. I learned that every applicant for a good job needed enough exposure to different cultures, so I tried to expose myself to more new things, and I gained a new insight into the value of friendship. My tutor told me that adaptation was a gradual process and that I should set a reasonable goal for myself. My strong motivation and motivated spirit kept me going, and I was determined to involve myself in every chance, even joining a small firm for part-time work.
My daily life also changed a great deal. I learned to make a careful budget for my living expenses, because studying abroad can cost an arm and a leg sometimes. I stayed optimistic even when the pressure was overwhelming, and I tried to behave well in every situation. My parents' love gave me great comfort, and their words always strengthened my heart. Whenever I felt depressed, I would go for a walk in the park to relax, and I never let the sadness depress me for too long. The city's fast development was like a great boom, and I saw the local economy gain strength every day. My teachers taught me to look at things from a new perspective and to grasp every angle of a problem, and my competence in the language grew quickly. I became more competent and mature, and my hard work brought a tremendous improvement in my studies. Everyone in our group was willing to participate and share their ideas during the meeting.
As time went by, I cooperated with students from different countries and learned to side with the right ideas instead of the popular ones. I wrote a report about the cultural outlook of my host country, and I proposed a friendly initiative to build a bridge between the two schools. I thanked my friends sincerely for their kind help, and I told them that the whole experience had changed my life in summary. Generally speaking, studying abroad is not always easy, but it is truly rewarding: we learn to deny ourselves laziness, to strengthen our will, and to understand that every person has his own setting and outcome. The logical way of thinking and the courage to grasp new chances will stay with me for ever, and I will never forget the day I made my departure from home. As far as I know, every student in my class had a similar story, and as far as I am concerned, the most important thing is to keep trying. My ambitious plan for the future is to work as a cultural envoy between countries, and I always wear my favourite belt as a reminder of home. The dramatic changes in my life taught me that no zone of comfort can compare with the joy of growing up.
B. 语境串记单词(汉语译文)
去年,我离开家乡到国外留学,新生活比我预想的复杂(complex)得多。起初一切都很陌生,我饱受严重的文化冲击(culture shock)和强烈的思乡之情(homesickness)之苦。我发现连当地语言中最简单的词都难以回忆(recall),还常常待在舒适区(comfort zone)里,不愿与他人交往(engage)。大学里的顾问(advisor)对我提出了明确的期望(expectation):参加(participate in)学校活动,在课堂上大胆发言(speak up)。她告诉我,我的资历(qualification)很好,但还需要让自己合格(qualify)于新环境。她还说,克服追求完美的雄心(ambition)的最好办法是接受每一次小小的失败,并且我应该尽快在新地方感到自在(feel at home)。
受她的话激励(motivate),我决定做出改变。我开始参与(engage in)每一次小组讨论,加入(get involved in)学生会,我的参与(participation)很快给我带来了许多新朋友。我在课堂上做了关于自己国家的简短报告(presentation),老师要求我在演讲中引用(cite)一些著名作家的话,这让我的发言更有趣。我加入了一个每天练习英语的信使(messenger)俱乐部,还阅读当地报纸的最新一期(edition)来提高阅读能力。慢慢地,陌生的环境(surroundings)变得熟悉起来,周围(surrounding)的街道也不再令人害怕。我懂得,每一位求职者(applicant)都需要充分接触(exposure)不同文化,于是我努力让自己接触(expose)更多新事物,并对友谊的价值有了新的洞察(insight)。我的导师(tutor)告诉我,适应(adaptation)是一个渐进的过程,我应该为自己设定合理(reasonable)的目标。我强大的动力(motivation)和积极(motivated)的精神让我坚持前行,我决心让自己参与(involve)每一个机会,甚至加入一家小公司(firm)做兼职。
我的日常生活也发生了很大变化。我学会了为生活开销(expense)做仔细的预算(budget),因为出国留学有时会花费一大笔钱(cost an arm and a leg)。即使压力势不可挡(overwhelming),我也保持乐观(optimistic),努力在各种情况下举止得体(behave)。父母的爱给了我莫大的安慰(comfort),他们的话语总是增强(strengthen)我的信心。每当我感到沮丧(depressed),我就会去公园散步放松,绝不让悲伤把我压垮(depress)太久。这座城市飞速发展,就像一场大繁荣(boom),我看到当地经济每天都在增长(gain)力量。老师们教我从新的视角(perspective)看问题,把握问题的每一个角度(angle),我的语言能力(competence)迅速提高。我变得更能干(competent)、更成熟(mature),我的刻苦努力使学业取得了巨大(tremendous)的进步。我们小组里每个人都愿意在会议期间参与(participate)并分享自己的想法。
时光流逝,我与来自不同国家的学生合作(cooperate),学会支持(side with)正确的观点而不是流行的观点。我写了一篇关于东道国文化前景(outlook)的报告,并提出了一项在两校之间架起桥梁的友好倡议(initiative)。我真诚地(sincerely)感谢朋友们的热心帮助,并告诉他们,总的来说(in summary),这段经历彻底改变了我的人生。一般来说(Generally speaking),留学并不总是容易的,但确实值得:我们学会拒绝(deny)懒惰,增强意志,并懂得每个人都有自己独特的背景(setting)与结局(outcome)。合乎逻辑(logical)的思维方式和把握(grasp)新机会的勇气将永远伴随我,我永远不会忘记离家出发(departure)的那一天。据我所知(as far as I know),班里每个学生都有类似的故事;就我而言(as far as I am concerned),最重要的是不断尝试。我雄心勃勃(ambitious)的未来计划是当一名文化使者(envoy),促进各国交流,我总是系着最喜欢的腰带(belt),作为对家乡的怀念。生活中巨大(dramatic)的变化教会我,没有哪个舒适地带(zone)能比得上成长的快乐。

题型7:阅读理解(词汇复现)
Two years ago, I received a scholarship to study at a university in Australia, and the day I boarded the plane for my departure from home, I felt both excited and nervous. When I finally arrived, everything around me was new and strange. The food, the weather, the way people greeted each other, and even the classroom rules were all different from what I had known before. For the first few weeks, I suffered from a serious culture shock. I could not understand the local accents well, and I often felt lost in the supermarket because I did not know the names of the goods. At night, I lay in bed and thought of my family, and a strong homesickness filled my heart. I began to doubt my own qualification for studying abroad, and I stayed in my comfort zone, unwilling to talk to the other students.
Motivated by a letter from my parents, I decided to change my attitude. My advisor told me that every applicant for a new life needed time to adapt, and she encouraged me to participate in more activities. I joined the international students' club and began to engage in every discussion. At first, I was too shy to speak up, but my friends were patient and always listened to me. I even gave a short presentation about my hometown, and the teacher asked me to cite some examples to make my speech clearer. Slowly, I found that my surroundings were becoming more familiar, and the surrounding streets no longer frightened me. The change did not cost an arm and a leg or require any magic; it only needed courage and patience.
As the months went by, I learned to look at things from a new perspective. I studied hard and made a careful budget for my living expenses, because money was tight but the experience was precious. I stayed optimistic even when the homework was overwhelming, and I tried to behave well in every situation. Sometimes I felt depressed, but my friends' encouragement never let the sadness depress me for long. I began to see the fast development of the city as a wonderful boom, and I watched the local economy gain strength every day. My language competence improved rapidly, and I became more competent and more confident in expressing my own ideas.
In the second year, I decided to cooperate with a local student to organize a small cultural festival at our university. We invited students from many countries to share their food, music and traditional games. The event was a great success, and many students thanked us sincerely. Through this experience, I learned that generally speaking, people from different cultures can always find a common language of kindness and respect. I also understood that we should never deny ourselves the chance to try new things, and that every person has his own setting and his own outcome. Now, when I look back at my first days in Australia, I smile with gratitude, because the whole experience has made me stronger, braver and more mature, and I will always remember the warm friends who helped me find a new home far away from my own.
1. What does the underlined phrase "culture shock" in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?

My Year of Studying Abroad
Last year, I left my hometown to study in a foreign country, and the new life was far more complex than I had expected. At first, everything felt strange, and I suffered from a serious culture shock and strong homesickness. I found it hard to recall even the simplest words in the local language, and I often stayed in my comfort zone, unwilling to engage with others. My advisor at the university gave me a clear expectation: to participate in school activities and speak up bravely in class. She told me that my qualification was good, but I still needed to qualify myself for the new environment. She also said that the best way to overcome my ambition of being perfect was to accept every small failure, and that I should try to feel at home in the new place as soon as possible.
Motivated by her words, I decided to make a change. I began to engage in every group discussion and to get involved in the student union, and my participation soon brought me many new friends. I gave a short presentation about my own country in class, and the teacher asked me to cite some famous writers in my speech, which made my talk more interesting. I joined a messenger club where we practised English every day, and I read the latest edition of the local newspaper to improve my reading. Slowly, the unfamiliar surroundings became more familiar, and the surrounding streets no longer seemed frightening. I learned that every applicant for a good job needed enough exposure to different cultures, so I tried to expose myself to more new things, and I gained a new insight into the value of friendship. My tutor told me that adaptation was a gradual process and that I should set a reasonable goal for myself. My strong motivation and motivated spirit kept me going, and I was determined to involve myself in every chance, even joining a small firm for part-time work.
My daily life also changed a great deal. I learned to make a careful budget for my living expenses, because studying abroad can cost an arm and a leg sometimes. I stayed optimistic even when the pressure was overwhelming, and I tried to behave well in every situation. My parents' love gave me great comfort, and their words always strengthened my heart. Whenever I felt depressed, I would go for a walk in the park to relax, and I never let the sadness depress me for too long. The city's fast development was like a great boom, and I saw the local economy gain strength every day. My teachers taught me to look at things from a new perspective and to grasp every angle of a problem, and my competence in the language grew quickly. I became more competent and mature, and my hard work brought a tremendous improvement in my studies. Everyone in our group was willing to participate and share their ideas during the meeting.
As time went by, I cooperated with students from different countries and learned to side with the right ideas instead of the popular ones. I wrote a report about the cultural outlook of my host country, and I proposed a friendly initiative to build a bridge between the two schools. I thanked my friends sincerely for their kind help, and I told them that the whole experience had changed my life in summary. Generally speaking, studying abroad is not always easy, but it is truly rewarding: we learn to deny ourselves laziness, to strengthen our will, and to understand that every person has his own setting and outcome. The logical way of thinking and the courage to grasp new chances will stay with me for ever, and I will never forget the day I made my departure from home. As far as I know, every student in my class had a similar story, and as far as I am concerned, the most important thing is to keep trying. My ambitious plan for the future is to work as a cultural envoy between countries, and I always wear my favourite belt as a reminder of home. The dramatic changes in my life taught me that no zone of comfort can compare with the joy of growing up.
B. 语境串记单词(汉语译文)
去年,我离开家乡到国外留学,新生活比我预想的复杂(complex)得多。起初一切都很陌生,我饱受严重的文化冲击(culture shock)和强烈的思乡之情(homesickness)之苦。我发现连当地语言中最简单的词都难以回忆(recall),还常常待在舒适区(comfort zone)里,不愿与他人交往(engage)。大学里的顾问(advisor)对我提出了明确的期望(expectation):参加(participate in)学校活动,在课堂上大胆发言(speak up)。她告诉我,我的资历(qualification)很好,但还需要让自己合格(qualify)于新环境。她还说,克服追求完美的雄心(ambition)的最好办法是接受每一次小小的失败,并且我应该尽快在新地方感到自在(feel at home)。
受她的话激励(motivate),我决定做出改变。我开始参与(engage in)每一次小组讨论,加入(get involved in)学生会,我的参与(participation)很快给我带来了许多新朋友。我在课堂上做了关于自己国家的简短报告(presentation),老师要求我在演讲中引用(cite)一些著名作家的话,这让我的发言更有趣。我加入了一个每天练习英语的信使(messenger)俱乐部,还阅读当地报纸的最新一期(edition)来提高阅读能力。慢慢地,陌生的环境(surroundings)变得熟悉起来,周围(surrounding)的街道也不再令人害怕。我懂得,每一位求职者(applicant)都需要充分接触(exposure)不同文化,于是我努力让自己接触(expose)更多新事物,并对友谊的价值有了新的洞察(insight)。我的导师(tutor)告诉我,适应(adaptation)是一个渐进的过程,我应该为自己设定合理(reasonable)的目标。我强大的动力(motivation)和积极(motivated)的精神让我坚持前行,我决心让自己参与(involve)每一个机会,甚至加入一家小公司(firm)做兼职。
我的日常生活也发生了很大变化。我学会了为生活开销(expense)做仔细的预算(budget),因为出国留学有时会花费一大笔钱(cost an arm and a leg)。即使压力势不可挡(overwhelming),我也保持乐观(optimistic),努力在各种情况下举止得体(behave)。父母的爱给了我莫大的安慰(comfort),他们的话语总是增强(strengthen)我的信心。每当我感到沮丧(depressed),我就会去公园散步放松,绝不让悲伤把我压垮(depress)太久。这座城市飞速发展,就像一场大繁荣(boom),我看到当地经济每天都在增长(gain)力量。老师们教我从新的视角(perspective)看问题,把握问题的每一个角度(angle),我的语言能力(competence)迅速提高。我变得更能干(competent)、更成熟(mature),我的刻苦努力使学业取得了巨大(tremendous)的进步。我们小组里每个人都愿意在会议期间参与(participate)并分享自己的想法。
时光流逝,我与来自不同国家的学生合作(cooperate),学会支持(side with)正确的观点而不是流行的观点。我写了一篇关于东道国文化前景(outlook)的报告,并提出了一项在两校之间架起桥梁的友好倡议(initiative)。我真诚地(sincerely)感谢朋友们的热心帮助,并告诉他们,总的来说(in summary),这段经历彻底改变了我的人生。一般来说(Generally speaking),留学并不总是容易的,但确实值得:我们学会拒绝(deny)懒惰,增强意志,并懂得每个人都有自己独特的背景(setting)与结局(outcome)。合乎逻辑(logical)的思维方式和把握(grasp)新机会的勇气将永远伴随我,我永远不会忘记离家出发(departure)的那一天。据我所知(as far as I know),班里每个学生都有类似的故事;就我而言(as far as I am concerned),最重要的是不断尝试。我雄心勃勃(ambitious)的未来计划是当一名文化使者(envoy),促进各国交流,我总是系着最喜欢的腰带(belt),作为对家乡的怀念。生活中巨大(dramatic)的变化教会我,没有哪个舒适地带(zone)能比得上成长的快乐。

题型7:阅读理解(词汇复现)
Two years ago, I received a scholarship to study at a university in Australia, and the day I boarded the plane for my departure from home, I felt both excited and nervous. When I finally arrived, everything around me was new and strange. The food, the weather, the way people greeted each other, and even the classroom rules were all different from what I had known before. For the first few weeks, I suffered from a serious culture shock. I could not understand the local accents well, and I often felt lost in the supermarket because I did not know the names of the goods. At night, I lay in bed and thought of my family, and a strong homesickness filled my heart. I began to doubt my own qualification for studying abroad, and I stayed in my comfort zone, unwilling to talk to the other students.
Motivated by a letter from my parents, I decided to change my attitude. My advisor told me that every applicant for a new life needed time to adapt, and she encouraged me to participate in more activities. I joined the international students' club and began to engage in every discussion. At first, I was too shy to speak up, but my friends were patient and always listened to me. I even gave a short presentation about my hometown, and the teacher asked me to cite some examples to make my speech clearer. Slowly, I found that my surroundings were becoming more familiar, and the surrounding streets no longer frightened me. The change did not cost an arm and a leg or require any magic; it only needed courage and patience.
As the months went by, I learned to look at things from a new perspective. I studied hard and made a careful budget for my living expenses, because money was tight but the experience was precious. I stayed optimistic even when the homework was overwhelming, and I tried to behave well in every situation. Sometimes I felt depressed, but my friends' encouragement never let the sadness depress me for long. I began to see the fast development of the city as a wonderful boom, and I watched the local economy gain strength every day. My language competence improved rapidly, and I became more competent and more confident in expressing my own ideas.
In the second year, I decided to cooperate with a local student to organize a small cultural festival at our university. We invited students from many countries to share their food, music and traditional games. The event was a great success, and many students thanked us sincerely. Through this experience, I learned that generally speaking, people from different cultures can always find a common language of kindness and respect. I also understood that we should never deny ourselves the chance to try new things, and that every person has his own setting and his own outcome. Now, when I look back at my first days in Australia, I smile with gratitude, because the whole experience has made me stronger, braver and more mature, and I will always remember the warm friends who helped me find a new home far away from my own.

A. The feeling of excitement when arriving in a new country.
