English people do not talk as much as we do.I’ve travelled by train many times and nobody has spoken to me during the journeys.I know one Englishman who is unusual.He speaks seven languages.But he is always silent.I’ve found one way to make him talk.He’s interested in mountain climbing.If I ask him about climbing,he’s always ready to talk.

第二部分　阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
　　While tea originated in China,now there are many countries all around the world that have tea woven into their food culture and traditions.This is one of the very special parts of tea as it has a way of connecting people all over the world in diverse ways and ceremonies,which finally brings about a group of people sitting together and enjoying a cup of tea.
Chinese tea culture
Since China is viewed as the birthplace of tea,it is no wonder that Chinese tea culture is rich in history and tradition.Today,Chinese tea continues to be used in Chinese medicine and is commonly consumed on both casual and formal occasions both for personal enjoyment and to represent Chinese cultural traditions.
Japanese tea culture
Japan also has a long history of tea,especially Japanese Matcha,which is a kind of ground green tea that is commonly used in Japanese tea ceremonies and has only become popular in Western culture in recent years.
　　British tea culture
When many people think of tea,British tea culture is what comes to mind.A cup of hot English Breakfast Tea or Earl Grey Tea as well as a little milk and a biscuit in the afternoon serves as a pick-me-up for the day.Even though tea may not be native to England,this British tea tradition is still going strong today.
Moroccan tea culture
When you visit Morocco,it is hard to miss the outstanding tea culture that is such a large part of Moroccan hospitality.Before any gathering,negotiation,or sale of a product,a pot of mint tea is always prepared and served among the hosts and guests.This is an expression of Moroccan tradition and hospitality,which should always be accepted by guests as a sign of appreciation and respect for the hosts.

　　With a thirst for a new challenge,I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier.Since starting to learn,I have made good progress.The Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK) is a test of Chinese language for non-native speakers.In July 2020,I passed my HSK3 exam with a score of 100.I am now almost ready to start HSK5.
Learning to speak Chinese isn’t as insurmountable as I once thought.When I speak to native speakers in Chinese,they almost always understand me.I also find it not too difficult to remember characters and I am now even able to write over 400 characters.I find studying the language relaxing and worthwhile,particularly writing the characters.The thing I find most challenging is listening since native speakers talk at such a speed.I can’t always understand what has been said,but my weekly online language exchanges help with this greatly.
Despite my progress,it has still been the challenge I desire and has taken a lot of hard work.Furthermore,there is a long way to go before I reach my goal of fluency.The key to progress is to be patient and persistent (坚持不懈的).The satisfaction that comes from simple things like ordering food in Chinese,buying things on the Internet or communicating with a taxi driver makes all the hard work worth it.
My biggest harvest from learning Chinese is that it’s not only doable but can also be enjoyable.Learning Chinese not only helps me in day-to-day life,but deepens my cultural understanding of such a colourful and beautiful country.Considering where I am now,
compared to two years ago,as long as I keep studying hard,I can image a time when I’ll be able to read famous Chinese novels not in English but in the original text.So,to all my non-Chinese friends,I always say “Don’t give up.Embrace (拥抱) the challenge.”
【语篇导读】 本文是记叙文。作者作为外国人分享了自己学习汉语的经历和感受。

[B]Possible to change.
[C]Comfortable to study.
[D]Hard to overcome.
【答案】 D
【解析】 猜测词义题。根据画线词所在句及后两句可知,作者认为汉语并不是很难学,显然第一句以系动词的否定形式搭配insurmountable表达这一含义,因此画线词含义应为“困难的;无法克服的”。故选D。
(　　)26.Why does the author think learning Chinese is satisfying
[A]Because it can make the author proud.
[B]Because it makes the author know more Chinese.
[C]Because it can be useful in daily life.

[B]Learning Chinese Isn’t Unbeatable

【答案】 B
【解析】 标题归纳题。通读全文可知,作者作为外国人分享了自己学习汉语的经历和感受,最后一段也点明了学习汉语并不是极其困难的,B项点出了关键词Learning Chinese符合文章内容,适合作为本文标题。故选B。
C
In every corner of the globe,there exist people from different religions,different regions,different ethnic identities who speak different languages,and celebrate different holidays.
Culture shapes our identity.It influences how we behave,and it makes us who we are.
Culture brings people together equally in celebration and in grief.Without culture and cultural diversity,the world would be a sad and dull place.Cultural diversity is a quality of diverse and many different cultures.Cultural diversity is a system that recognises and respects the existence and presence of diverse groups of people within a society.
Recognising that the world is made up of many different people from different backgrounds and cultures is the first step towards a more understanding and harmonious society.Difference is not what divides us,but rather it should be celebrated as something that unites us as humans.
Through diverse cultures,we can explore and understand how other cultures operate and function.Opening our eyes to the existence of diverse and different cultures allows us to see the world from others’ points of view.We can see more,understand more,and appreciate more.
Understanding is a crucial step before appreciating.It is the same for understanding different cultures around the world.Even if when we’re unable to understand why certain cultures do the things they do,we’re able to acknowledge it as their custom.
However,total acceptance needs wisdom and awareness.Some cultures and cultural practices may disturb human rights in the general society’s view.We must work towards educating the public with a respect for the community that cultures or cultural practices belong to.When diversity is taught early in kids’ lives,they are more likely to communicate and interact with people of any background or culture.At the same time,we must educate ourselves about the pros and cons of cultural diversity so that the change we want to make won’t be one-sided or go against anyone’s rights.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要说明了文化多样性的重要意义。
(　　)28.What is the first step to understand another culture
[A]Appreciating others’ opinions.
[B]Accepting cultural diversity.
[C]Being smarter and more cautious.
[D]Learning more laws about human rights.
【答案】 B
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知,承认世界是由来自不同背景和文化的许多不同的人组成的,是迈向一个更包容、更和谐的社会的第一步,即接受文化的多样性是理解另一种文化的第一步。故选B。
(　　)29.What does the underlined word “crucial” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
[A]Key. [B]Simple.
[C]Quick. [D]Perfect.
【答案】 A
【解析】 猜测词义题。根据画线词所在句后文“It is the same for understanding different cultures...acknowledge it as their custom.”可知,后文在强调理解的重要性,由此可推知理解是欣赏前关键的一步,所以画线词意为“关键的”,故选A。
(　　)30.Why should kids be taught diversity early
[A]To be learned.
[B]To become wiser.
[C]To communicate with others well.
[D]To tell the pros from cons of diversity.
【答案】 C
【解析】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“When diversity is taught...of any background or culture.”可知,通过尽早教授孩子们文化的多样性,孩子们更有可能与任何背景或文化的人交流和互动,即与他人很好地交流。故选C。
(　　)31.What’s the passage mainly about
[A]The origin of culture.
[B]The function of culture.
[C]The future of diverse cultures.
[D]The importance of cultural diversity.
【答案】 D
【解析】 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其根据第四段可知,本文主要说明了文化多样性的重要意义。故选D。
D
　　People often ask which is the most difficult language to learn,and it is not easy to answer because there are many factors to take into consideration.Firstly,for a first language, the differences are unimportant as people learn their native language naturally,so the question of how hard a language is to learn is only related to learning a second language.
A native speaker of Spanish,for example,will find Portuguese (葡萄牙语) much easier to learn than a native speaker of Chinese,because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish,while Chinese is very different.The greater the differences between a second language and one’s first language,the harder it will be for most people to learn a second language.Many people answer that Chinese is the hardest language to learn,possibly influenced by the thought of learning the Chinese writing system,and the pronunciation of Chinese does appear to be very difficult for many foreign learners.However,for Japanese speakers,who already use Chinese characters in their own language,learning writing will be less difficult than for speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet (字母表).
Some people seem to learn languages readily,while others find it very difficult.Teachers and the environment in which the language is learnt also play an important role,as well as each learner’s purpose of learning.If people learn a language because they need to use it in their work,they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day-to-day life.
No language is easy to learn well,though languages which are related to our first language are easier.Learning a completely different writing system is a huge challenge,but that does not necessarily make a language more difficult than another.In the end,it is impossible to say that there is one language that is the most difficult language in the world.
【语篇导读】 本文是议论文。文章阐述了学一门语言的难易程度与这门语言和母语的差异程度相关。
(　　)32.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2
[A]Portuguese and Chinese are very different.
[B]Chinese is harder to learn than Portuguese.
[C]Portuguese is very easy for foreigners to learn.
[D]One’s first language can affect learning a second language.
【答案】 D
【解析】 段落大意题。第二段以西班牙人和中国人学习葡萄牙语以及日本人学习汉语为例,说明母语和第二语言之间的差异越大,学习第二语言就越难。即母语影响人们对第二语言的学习,故选D。
(　　)33.Why do many people think Chinese is hard to learn
[A]Because its writing system is strange.
[B]Because its pronunciation is unique.
[C]Because its characters are difficult to understand.
[D]Because it has many differences from other languages.
【答案】 D
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第二段的第一句及最后一句可知,许多人认为汉语难学是因为它和其他语言有很多不同之处。故选D。
(　　)34.What does the underlined word “readily” in Paragraph 3 mean
[A]Carefully. [B]Easily.
[C]Freely. [D]Slowly.
【答案】 B
【解析】 猜测词义题。根据画线词后表对比关系的连词while可推知,readily在意思上应和difficult相反,因此easily符合语境。故选B。
(　　)35.What can we learn from the passage
[A]A second language is easier to learn than we think.
[B]Using a language daily will make it easy to learn.
[C]The writing system is harder than the pronunciation.
[D]Difficult languages are not as popular as simple ones.
【答案】 B
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第三段的最后一句可知,如果人们学习一门语言是工作需要,那么他们要比那些在日常生活中使用不到该语言的人学得快。故选B。

　　阅读下面的短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
As you get older,you’ll meet a wider range of people from diverse cultures.If you haven’t met many people from different backgrounds,it can be hard to know how to respect their cultures.36.　　　.
Know your own culture
One of the best ways to understand other people’s cultures is to first consider your own.Most of us don’t realise that our customs and beliefs might seem strange to someone else.Don’t think of your own way of life as the only normal one and everyone else’s to be strange.37.　　　.
Learn about a different culture
Maybe you’ve recently met someone from a different culture,or you’re curious about how different people live.When you meet people from a different culture,ask them about their lives.
Also,you can read books,watch movies or listen to radio shows.38.　　　.The more you learn,the more likely you are to get used to greeting cultural differences with curiosity rather than doubt.
39.　　
Differences between us are what make life so interesting,so just accept the differences between yourself and your friends from different cultures.The best way to respect people from other cultures is to strike a balance between curiosity and appreciation.40.　　　.Also,learn how to just silently observe and appreciate the differences that make us unique.
A.Respect other cultures
B.Appreciate the differences
C.Ask questions if your friends are open to it
D.In this way,you may find it hard to know your own culture
E.Otherwise,it’s hard to approach those differences with respect
F.Here are some tips for learning more about them and about yourself
G.These will help you get an insider’s view on a different culture
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章就如何了解和尊重来自其他文化的人及自己提出了

36.【答案】 F
【解析】 根据设空处前一句并结合下文对几个建议的介绍可推知,F项符合题意,承上启下。故选F。
37.【答案】 E
【解析】 根据设空处前一句可知,不要认为自己的生活方式是唯一正常的,其他人的生活方式都很奇怪。设空处应陈述这种想法的后果。E项承接上文,符合题意。故选E。

39.【答案】 B
【解析】 根据下文可知,本段主要讲述的是要欣赏文化差异性,B项是对本段内容的概括,可以作为本段的小标题。故选B。
40.【答案】 C
【解析】 根据设空处前一句可知,对其他文化既要有好奇心,又要欣赏。下文“Also,learn how to...that make us unique.”提到了欣赏,由此可推知,设空处内容和“好奇心”有关。C项符合题意,呼应上文curiosity。故选C。

　　阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话,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 programme 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 make meaningful contributions.
This was frustrating (令人沮丧的),as I had always been an excellent 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.

　　One possible version:
Recognising 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. Mark 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 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 horizons 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 and I knew it would last a lifetime.

　　While tea originated in China,now there are many countries all around the world that have tea woven into their food culture and traditions.This is one of the very special parts of tea as it has a way of connecting people all over the world in diverse ways and ceremonies,which finally brings about a group of people sitting together and enjoying a cup of tea.
Chinese tea culture
Since China is viewed as the birthplace of tea,it is no wonder that Chinese tea culture is rich in history and tradition.Today,Chinese tea continues to be used in Chinese medicine and is commonly consumed on both casual and formal occasions both for personal enjoyment and to represent Chinese cultural traditions.
Japanese tea culture
Japan also has a long history of tea,especially Japanese Matcha,which is a kind of ground green tea that is commonly used in Japanese tea ceremonies and has only become popular in Western culture in recent years.
　　British tea culture
When many people think of tea,British tea culture is what comes to mind.A cup of hot English Breakfast Tea or Earl Grey Tea as well as a little milk and a biscuit in the afternoon serves as a pick-me-up for the day.Even though tea may not be native to England,this British tea tradition is still going strong today.
Moroccan tea culture
When you visit Morocco,it is hard to miss the outstanding tea culture that is such a large part of Moroccan hospitality.Before any gathering,negotiation,or sale of a product,a pot of mint tea is always prepared and served among the hosts and guests.This is an expression of Moroccan tradition and hospitality,which should always be accepted by guests as a sign of appreciation and respect for the hosts.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章阐述了虽然茶起源于中国,但如今,世界上许多国家的文化中都融入了茶元素。
(　　)21.Why can tea find its way into various food cultures
[A]Because it originated in China.
[B]Because it forms different ceremonies.
[C]Because it gets people connected easily.
[D]Because it allows people to sit together.
(　　)22.What do Chinese and Japanese tea cultures have in common according to the passage
[A]They both have a long history.
[B]They both represent people’s hospitality.
[C]They are both famous for ground green tea.
[D]They both have had worldwide recognition for a long time.
(　　)23.Why are the British keen on tea in the afternoon
[A]To get new energy.
[B]To bring out respect.
[C]To show hospitality.
[D]To observe a tradition.
B
　　With a thirst for a new challenge,I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier.Since starting to learn,I have made good progress.The Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK) is a test of Chinese language for non-native speakers.In July 2020,I passed my HSK3 exam with a score of 100.I am now almost ready to start HSK5.
Learning to speak Chinese isn’t as insurmountable as I once thought.When I speak to native speakers in Chinese,they almost always understand me.I also find it not too difficult to remember characters and I am now even able to write over 400 characters.I find studying the language relaxing and worthwhile,particularly writing the characters.The thing I find most challenging is listening since native speakers talk at such a speed.I can’t always understand what has been said,but my weekly online language exchanges help with this greatly.
Despite my progress,it has still been the challenge I desire and has taken a lot of hard work.Furthermore,there is a long way to go before I reach my goal of fluency.The key to progress is to be patient and persistent (坚持不懈的).The satisfaction that comes from simple things like ordering food in Chinese,buying things on the Internet or communicating with a taxi driver makes all the hard work worth it.
My biggest harvest from learning Chinese is that it’s not only doable but can also be enjoyable.Learning Chinese not only helps me in day-to-day life,but deepens my cultural understanding of such a colourful and beautiful country.Considering where I am now,
compared to two years ago,as long as I keep studying hard,I can image a time when I’ll be able to read famous Chinese novels not in English but in the original text.So,to all my non-Chinese friends,I always say “Don’t give up.Embrace (拥抱) the challenge.”
【语篇导读】 本文是记叙文。作者作为外国人分享了自己学习汉语的经历和感受。
(　　)24.Which one is the most difficult for the author
[A]Writing characters.
[B]Taking part in HSK exams.
[C]Listening to the native speakers.
[D]Speaking to a taxi driver.
(　　)25.What does the underlined word “insurmountable” in Paragraph 2 mean
[A]Easy to upset.
[B]Possible to change.
[C]Comfortable to study.
[D]Hard to overcome.
(　　)26.Why does the author think learning Chinese is satisfying
[A]Because it can make the author proud.
[B]Because it makes the author know more Chinese.
[C]Because it can be useful in daily life.
[D]Because it makes the author more competitive.
(　　)27.Which can be a suitable title for the passage
[A]Passing Exams Isn’t a Piece of Cake
[B]Learning Chinese Isn’t Unbeatable
[C]Explore the Historical and Cultural Country
[D]Deepen Understanding of Chinese Culture
C
In every corner of the globe,there exist people from different religions,different regions,different ethnic identities who speak different languages,and celebrate different holidays.
Culture shapes our identity.It influences how we behave,and it makes us who we are.
Culture brings people together equally in celebration and in grief.Without culture and cultural diversity,the world would be a sad and dull place.Cultural diversity is a quality of diverse and many different cultures.Cultural diversity is a system that recognises and respects the existence and presence of diverse groups of people within a society.
Recognising that the world is made up of many different people from different backgrounds and cultures is the first step towards a more understanding and harmonious society.Difference is not what divides us,but rather it should be celebrated as something that unites us as humans.
Through diverse cultures,we can explore and understand how other cultures operate and function.Opening our eyes to the existence of diverse and different cultures allows us to see the world from others’ points of view.We can see more,understand more,and appreciate more.
Understanding is a crucial step before appreciating.It is the same for understanding different cultures around the world.Even if when we’re unable to understand why certain cultures do the things they do,we’re able to acknowledge it as their custom.
However,total acceptance needs wisdom and awareness.Some cultures and cultural practices may disturb human rights in the general society’s view.We must work towards educating the public with a respect for the community that cultures or cultural practices belong to.When diversity is taught early in kids’ lives,they are more likely to communicate and interact with people of any background or culture.At the same time,we must educate ourselves about the pros and cons of cultural diversity so that the change we want to make won’t be one-sided or go against anyone’s rights.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要说明了文化多样性的重要意义。
(　　)28.What is the first step to understand another culture
[A]Appreciating others’ opinions.
[B]Accepting cultural diversity.
[C]Being smarter and more cautious.
[D]Learning more laws about human rights.
(　　)29.What does the underlined word “crucial” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
[A]Key. [B]Simple.
[C]Quick. [D]Perfect.
(　　)30.Why should kids be taught diversity early
[A]To be learned.
[B]To become wiser.
[C]To communicate with others well.
[D]To tell the pros from cons of diversity.
(　　)31.What’s the passage mainly about
[A]The origin of culture.
[B]The function of culture.
[C]The future of diverse cultures.
[D]The importance of cultural diversity.
D
　　People often ask which is the most difficult language to learn,and it is not easy to answer because there are many factors to take into consideration.Firstly,for a first language, the differences are unimportant as people learn their native language naturally,so the question of how hard a language is to learn is only related to learning a second language.
A native speaker of Spanish,for example,will find Portuguese (葡萄牙语) much easier to learn than a native speaker of Chinese,because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish,while Chinese is very different.The greater the differences between a second language and one’s first language,the harder it will be for most people to learn a second language.Many people answer that Chinese is the hardest language to learn,possibly influenced by the thought of learning the Chinese writing system,and the pronunciation of Chinese does appear to be very difficult for many foreign learners.However,for Japanese speakers,who already use Chinese characters in their own language,learning writing will be less difficult than for speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet (字母表).
Some people seem to learn languages readily,while others find it very difficult.Teachers and the environment in which the language is learnt also play an important role,as well as each learner’s purpose of learning.If people learn a language because they need to use it in their work,they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day-to-day life.
No language is easy to learn well,though languages which are related to our first language are easier.Learning a completely different writing system is a huge challenge,but that does not necessarily make a language more difficult than another.In the end,it is impossible to say that there is one language that is the most difficult language in the world.
【语篇导读】 本文是议论文。文章阐述了学一门语言的难易程度与这门语言和母语的差异程度相关。
(　　)32.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2
[A]Portuguese and Chinese are very different.
[B]Chinese is harder to learn than Portuguese.
[C]Portuguese is very easy for foreigners to learn.
[D]One’s first language can affect learning a second language.
(　　)33.Why do many people think Chinese is hard to learn
[A]Because its writing system is strange.
[B]Because its pronunciation is unique.
[C]Because its characters are difficult to understand.
[D]Because it has many differences from other languages.
(　　)34.What does the underlined word “readily” in Paragraph 3 mean
[A]Carefully. [B]Easily.
[C]Freely. [D]Slowly.
(　　)35.What can we learn from the passage
[A]A second language is easier to learn than we think.
[B]Using a language daily will make it easy to learn.
[C]The writing system is harder than the pronunciation.
[D]Difficult languages are not as popular as simple ones.

As you get older,you’ll meet a wider range of people from diverse cultures.If you haven’t met many people from different backgrounds,it can be hard to know how to respect their cultures.36.　　　.
Know your own culture
One of the best ways to understand other people’s cultures is to first consider your own.Most of us don’t realise that our customs and beliefs might seem strange to someone else.Don’t think of your own way of life as the only normal one and everyone else’s to be strange.37.　　　.
Learn about a different culture
Maybe you’ve recently met someone from a different culture,or you’re curious about how different people live.When you meet people from a different culture,ask them about their lives.
Also,you can read books,watch movies or listen to radio shows.38.　　　.The more you learn,the more likely you are to get used to greeting cultural differences with curiosity rather than doubt.
39.　　
Differences between us are what make life so interesting,so just accept the differences between yourself and your friends from different cultures.The best way to respect people from other cultures is to strike a balance between curiosity and appreciation.40.　　　.Also,learn how to just silently observe and appreciate the differences that make us unique.
A.Respect other cultures
B.Appreciate the differences
C.Ask questions if your friends are open to it
D.In this way,you may find it hard to know your own culture

　　阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话,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 programme 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 make meaningful contributions.
This was frustrating (令人沮丧的),as I had always been an excellent 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:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
　　Recognising my struggle,people around me stepped in to support me.
Paragraph 2:
　　Gradually,I began to adapt to the life here.

Recognising 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. Mark 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 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 horizons 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 and I knew it would last a lifetime.
