B I was lucky enough to have a chance to study in the United States as an international student from the Ukraine when I was fourteen years old. I went to a wonderful school, West Catholic High School, for my freshman year.I remember my first day at that school as if it were yesterday. I was very nervous, and I could feel my heartbeat on the tips of my toes. My main fear was that I would not be able to express myself due to the language barrier. I was trying to have as little munication as I possibly could. And I almost succeeded, until we had to introduce ourselves in front of the class.And the moment the word “international” flew out of my mouth, I was surrounded by thirty people who were asking questions one after another. I remember some of the questions were “Where is the Ukraine? Is it a kingdom?” “Do you have McDonalds? Does it taste the same?” and “Say something in your language.” It turned out to be the opposite of less munication, but it was so much fun.During the first three months, I certainly experienced a bit of cultural shock. I think Americans are the nicest people I have ever met in my entire life. They always smile and say, “Hi, how are you?”One day, I noticed the students looking at me suspiciously. Finally , my classmate came up to my locker and whispered, “Is that true that you are a princess(公主)and that you came to study here so that nobody would recognize you?” At one point, I even had an image of myself wearing a gown and waving at the crowd. What ? People do have a wild imagination!During my study abroad experience, I saw a totally new world, experienced great culture, met a lot of incredible(不可思议的)people and improved my language. This trip inspired me to learn foreign languages. That is one of the reasons why I speak five different languages today.24. On the first day of school, the author was afraid that_.A. she would be too shy to talk with others.B. she would not be able to do well in her studiesC. she could not municate with others well D. she would have difficulty learning a new language. 25. When the authors classmates knew she was an international student, they _ A. made fun of herB. prepared a special gift for herC. showed interest in her countrys culture D. were eager to make friends with her26. What does the underlined word “suspiciously” in Para.5 probably mean?A. Fearfully B. Excitedly C. Angrily D. Doubtfully27. What can we learn from the text?A. The author decided to settle in the USA.B. The author got lots of benefits through studying abroad C. The author always imagined herself as a princess.D. The author didnt want to make herself known. CWhat do you usually do to fort your friends when they are feeling sad or depressed ? You probably pat them on the back or shoulder, or maybe you give them a big , warm hug .We used to think that knowing when and how to fort others was an ability that only humans have . But scientists have discovered that apes（猩猩）have this ability, too, according to a study published in the Journal of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences .Two researchers from Emory University in Atlanta , US , went to an Ape Protection Centre in Congo to study bonobos（倭黑猩猩）, which are closely related to humans .The researchers analyzed the bonobos reactions after more than 370 cases of stressful situations , such as fights and losing temper , and found that some bonobos rushed to hug those that were screaming after being attacked , just like humans would have done .However , researchers noted that not all bonobos were capable of forting others. In the protection centre , many bonobos are orphans whose mothers were killed by hunters . They were found to be more anxious in times of tension and to have greater difficulty controlling their own emotions , making them worse at reaching out to help friends in need .“ Orphans, who have not had the benefit of a mother helping them handling their emotions , are much worse at forting others, ” Professor Frans de Waal, one of the researchers, told The Telegraph. “ Bonobos with moms were able to curb their negative emotional reactions more quickly. Therefore , they pay more attention to others. ”This pattern mirrors the way that human children have been found to react. Those who seem more capable of handling their own emotions for example, the ones who can calm themselves down more quickly after upsetting experiences are usually better at expressing their concerns for others.28. The 4th paragraph is mainly developed by _ .A. following time order B. making parisons C. giving examples D. presenting causes and effects29. The underlined word “ curb ” in the 5th paragraph probably means “_ ” .A. expressB. controlC.hide D. observe30. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage ?A. Orphan bonobos never give a hand to friend. B. There were 370 bonobos involved in the research .C. The ability to fort others is unique to human beings .D. Moms play a significant role in handling kids emotions 31. Whats the main purpose of this passage ?A. To provide better protection for Apes. B. To uncover the mystery of Apes.C. To inform readers of a new study D. To pare human behaviors with Apes. DZheng He was one of Chinas most famous explorers. Towards the end of the fourteenth century, his fleet (舰队) sailed to countries far away.Zheng He had over 300 ships, some of which were over 150 meters long, and could carry up to 1,000 people. Besides, the ships carried gold, silver, silk, china and other treasures to give as gifts to the rulers of other countries. Some ships even had earth on board so that the sailors could grow their crops for food.On Zheng Hes first voyage, he set sail across the Indian Ocean. His fleet travelled many days far away from land. One day, they were hit by a storm. All the sailors thought the fleet was going to sink. Then a strange light appeared and after that, the storm passed. The strange light was probably electricity from the thunderstorm (雷雨), but the sailors in Zheng Hes fleet believed it was a sign of protection from the gods. With the belief, they were happy to follow Zheng He wherever he led them.Zheng He pleted seven famous voyages between 1405 and 1433. He visited many countries in Asia and Africa. He brought back many gifts from the countries he visited, such as medicines, pearls (珍珠) and strange animals. The most famous of them were a giraffe and a zebra.In 28 years of travelling, Zheng He had managed to share the glory of China with many different countries.

You might lose your job, fail in your exams or have an illness. 36 Here are some ways not to lose hope during difficult times.1. Have faith. 37 No matter how bad the situation is, things will turn out to be good in the end. Several years ago I failed to get my masters degree. It was a really bad experience. 38 It was of much better quality than my previous university. Experiences like this strengthen my belief that having faith is important during difficult times.2. Be around supportive people.Going through difficult times is hard, and going through them alone is even harder. You need a group of positive people who can support you. 39 If you dont, my suggestion is to start looking for one. Dont wait until you need it, because it will be too late by then. You need the munity before difficult times e.3. Help others.An additional benefit of being in a good munity is that it encourages you to think about other people. It pushes you to help others and, therefore, think about other people. 40 As a result, your situation wont look as bad as it would be otherwise. Often the situation looks worse than it really is because we give too much attention. Shifting（移开）some of your attention away will put the situation in a better view.A .Your munity helps a lot.B. Whatever it is, its important not to lose hope.C. However, I changed my attitude towards failure.D. In this way you shift your focus away from yourself.E.

You should bee part of a munity that cares for one another.第四部分 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。I was traveling to visit my sister who lives a few states away.
