Before going abroad, I was very concerned about culture shock, but it turned out that I had
a harder time dealing with reverse (逆向的) culture shock when returning ing back
has been a tougher transition than expected. It’s not just about transitioning back to home life;
it’s also about handling the strange situation of being a different person in the same old
environment. I am most terrified of waking up in a few months and feeling like I’m the same
person I was before I studied abroad.
This situation is especially strange with people who have known me for a long time, like
my parents, who witnessed all my major life changes before this one. I didn’t realize how much
I’d changed until I interacted with them and close friends. Despite only being away for three and
a half months, I quickly noticed the differences between who I was before and who I am now.
Over the past few weeks at home, I’ve been wondering how to maintain the positive changes
and qualities gained from my semester abroad.
I’ve realized that surroundings and situations greatly influence mindset, and keeping a
certain mindset while losing its corresponding (相 应 地 ) environment is challenging. For
instance, being in Madrid taught me to be more relaxed and stress-free. However, returning to
Penn State with its demanding course load makes maintaining that mentality difficult. I’ve come
to realize the problem that perpetual stress about school isn’t healthy, especially after
experiencing a semester of travel, fun, and academic success. Therefore, I’ve decided to work
hard and study as usual but occasionally give myself a break, and do what I can to avoid getting
over-stressed about tests and assignments. This means I will put in effort when necessary in
order to make sure I am always caught up or ahead of class material.
Coming home has been more challenging than expected, but I’m confident I’ll get through
it in the next few weeks. Nevertheless, I’m determined to maintain the important lessons I
learned about myself and others in Madrid.
24. What was the author’s biggest concern when returning home
A. Going back to his original self. B. Adapting to new surroundings.
C. Experiencing culture shock. D. Missing old acquaintances.
25. What did the author realize after returning home
A. He should make his family familiar with his positive changes.
B. He should change his mentality to care less about his study.
C. He should adapt his mindset to fit into the old learning environment.
D. He should apply himself to his study to stay ahead of class.
26. What does the underlined word “perpetual” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Current. B. Improper. C. Unnecessary. D. Continuous.
27. What is the passage mainly about
A. The sufferings of reverse culture shock.
B. The reflections on studying abroad.
C. The adaptations to new environments.
D. The success in academic performance.

As we age, even if we’re healthy, the heart just isn’t as efficient in processing oxygen as it
used to be. In most people the first signs show up in their 50s or early 60s. And among people
who don’t exercise, the changes can start even sooner.
“Think of a rubber band. In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for 20 years
and it will become dry and easily broken,” says Dr. Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the
University of Texas. That’s what happens to the heart. Fortunately for those in midlife, Levine is
finding that even if you haven’t been an enthusiastic exerciser, getting in shape now may help
improve your aging heart.
Levine and his research team selected volunteers aged between 45 and 64 who did not
exercise much but were otherwise healthy. Participants were randomly divided into two groups.
The first group participated in a program of nonaerobic (无氧) exercise—balance training and
weight training—three times a week. The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under
the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week. After two years, the second group saw
remarkable improvements in heart health.
“We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30-or 35-year-old hearts,”
says Levine. “And the reason they got so much stronger and fitter was that their hearts could
now fill a lot better and pump (泵送) a lot more blood during exercise.” But the hearts of those
who participated in less intense exercise didn’t change, he says.
“The sweet spot in life to start exercising, if you haven’t already, is in late middle age when
the heart still has flexibility,” Levine says. “We put healthy 70-year-olds through a yearlong
exercise training program, and nothing happened to them at all.”
Dr. Nieca Goldberg, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, says Levine’s
findings are a great start. But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups
of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference.
28. What does Levine want to explain by mentioning the rubber band
A. The right way of exercising. B. The causes of a heart attack.
C. The difficulty of keeping fit. D. The aging process of the heart.
29. In which aspect were the two groups different in terms of research design
A. Diet plan. B. Professional background.
C. Exercise type. D. Previous physical condition.
30. What does Levine’s research find
A. Middle-aged hearts get younger with aerobic exercise.
B. High-intensity exercise is more suitable for the young.
C. It is never too late for people to start taking exercise.
D. The more exercise we do, the stronger our hearts get.
31. What does Dr. Nieca Goldberg suggest
A. Making use of the findings. B. Interviewing the study participants.
C. Conducting further research. D. Clarifying the purpose of the study.
D
In the spring, the western tanagers (唐纳雀) prepared to migrate (迁徙) thousands of miles
to the forests of the Mountain West, flying through grasslands, deserts, and occasionally,
suburban yards.
To fuel them on their lengthy journey, western tanagers feed on insects and berries. They
must take advantage of the early-season boom in insects that started with springtime plant
growth to produce healthy young. But as global climate change caused spring to start earlier,
birds such as western tanagers were arriving at their destination after what was known as
“green-up”, when flowers began blooming and insects popped up. With the shift of the time
when plants put out new leaves, western tanagers became more likely to reach their destinations
when food is in shortage or after insect numbers have begun to drop.
Scott Loss, a professor at Oklahoma State University and his colleagues used satellite
imagery to calculate the average start of spring green-up along the typical migration routes of
150 North American bird species, and then compared that timing with the current green-up.
They found that spring was indeed beginning earlier along birds’ migration routes. The trend
continued this year.
The paper continued to build this picture of the inability of birds to track the changing
seasons caused by climate change. Timing mismatches between birds and their food could affect
whether birds survived the migration and how many chicks they had.
Morgan Tingley, a researcher at UCLA said that the migration research could indicate
conservation efforts in the future. “Part of it suggested which species were vulnerable (易受伤害
的) to various threats,” Tingley said. “This added to the knowledge about vulnerability of a wide
range of bird species.” And he hoped that the information would serve to highlight the urgent
need to lower greenhouse-gas emissions as fast as possible: “It was really important, if we
couldn’t address climate change immediately, to try to stop habitat loss as much as we can.”
32. During the migration, what will happen to the western tanagers after “green-up”
A. They will struggle to find enough insects and berries.
B. They will have difficulty finding suitable nesting sites.
C. They will hardly find blooming flowers for reproduction.
D. They will find it hard to survive harsher weather conditions.
33. What is the direct result of the timing mismatch between birds and their food
A. The loss of birds’ habitats.
B. The decrease of birds’ survival rate.
C. The contribution to the greenhouse effect.
D. The increase of difficulty in biodiversity conservation.
34. What is Morgan Tingley’s attitude towards the research findings in the last paragraph
A. Uncertain. B. Critical. C. Concerned. D. Indifferent.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. The Diverse Patterns of Bird Migration
B. The Timing Mismatch of Western Tanagers
C. The Impact of Climate Change on Migratory Birds
D. The Vulnerability of Bird Species to Various Threats

阅读下面短文，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。
These days, most people like using messaging apps when they need to communicate with
someone. But sometimes making a call is unavoidable. However, this simple act can actually be
a nightmare for some people. 36 If this sounds familiar to you, you might be one of the
millions of people who suffer from telephobia—the fear of speaking over the phone.
37 When speaking face to face, we use facial expressions and gestures that help
each other follow the conversation. This is not the case over the phone. And the idea of speaking
with someone on the phone makes some people so terrified that they will freeze up and look
foolish. However, there are things that one suffering from this condition can do to ease this fear.
One thing that those with telephobia can do before a call is smile. 38 It won’t
remove the anxiety altogether, but it will take the edge off (减轻) it.
Similarly, imagining how the call will go before you make it can also help things go more
smoothly. That will make you feel less nervous and help you predict some possible problems.
There’s no need to spend hours on this, just a few minutes forming several ideas of what you
want to say. 39 This is particularly useful for dealing with the fear of not being able to
express yourself spontaneously (自然地)．
And finally, when faced with receiving a call, you don’t always have to pick up. 40
A. Doing so can help you feel more relaxed.
B. It’s often the opening lines that give us the most anxiety.
C. Their hearts race and their hands sweat at the very thought of it.
D. People who feel comfortable in social situations may experience telephobia.
E. You can even write down some brief notes to remind yourself of your talking.
F. The most important thing is to be aware of your fear and take steps to deal with it.
G. There’s nothing wrong with calling the person back later when you feel more comfortable.

Nowadays, more and more parents pay great attention to their children. However, we
find 56 common that parents and children lack (缺乏) communication.
More than one reason 57 (contribute) to the problem.
To begin with, the reason why parents spend 58 (little) time with students is that the
heavier social pressure often makes children 59 (overlook) by their parents. The second,
although parents want to talk with their children, some of them don’t know much about the skills
of communication or the necessary knowledge of education, which will be 60 (effect) in
communication. However, the most important reason 61 can be found may be the
traditional ideas of authority (权威) most parents have. Thus, when 62 (face) the children,
parents are not 63 (like) to communicate with them as friends.
To sum up, the solution 64 the problem is to diminish (减少) the gap between parents
and children. Therefore, in order to make 65 better atmosphere where the children grow
up, the parents should ensure the stability (稳定 ) of the family and act as good friends to the
children.

A possible version:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m Li Hua, an exchange student of our school. Knowing you’re planning to start some
school clubs about Chinese culture, I’m writing to make a suggestion.
My suggestion is that a Chinese calligraphy club should be established. For one reason,
Chinese calligraphy is a form of art with a long history, standing for the civilization of ancient
China. For another, the club may attract a great number of students from different countries, as
there is no language barrier to appreciate art.
I would be grateful for your taking my advice into consideration. Looking forward to
hearing from you.
