fascinationwere sown.Therefore,when I arrived,I couldnt have been more excited to be living in this huge historically andculturally rich country.The food,the landmarks,the mega cities and everyday life I couldnt wait to explore.Yet despite my enthusiasm,learning Chinese hadnt even entered my mind.This wasnt ignorance or laziness,but rather fear at the prospect of attempting to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world.Besides this,I was living in Shanghai,an international city,with many people speaking English as a secondlanguage-I decided English would suffice.However,after a year in China I began to observe that while many expats did not speak Chinese,there wereplenty who did.Perhaps it was achievable after all?In addition I felt uncomfortable with how many Chinesepeople could speak English and yet I couldn,t even speak the most basic Chinese.With these factors in mind and athirst for a new challenge I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didnt start earlier.Learning to speak Chinese isnt as insurmountable as I once assumed.When I speak to native Chinesespeakers in Chinese,they almost always understand me,I have also not found it too difficult to remembercharacters and I am now even able to write over 400 characters.The thing I find most challenging is listeningsince native speakers talk at such a speed.I cant always understand whats been said.My biggest takeaway from learning Chinese is that its not only doable but can also be enjoyable.LearningChinese not only helped me in day-to-day life,but deepened my cultural understanding of such a diverse andfiiscinating country.So,to all my non-Chinese friends I say this,embrace the challenge and take the leap of faith.24.Why didnt the author learn Chinese when he arrived in China in 2017?A.He showed no enthusiasm for China.C.He resisted learning a second language.25.What caused the author to learn Chinese?A.His regret about starting learning late.C.Eagerness to rise to the challenge.B.He was unwilling to make the effort.D.He avoided doing something difficult.B.Support from many expats around him.D.A thirst to prove his gift for language.26.What does the underlined word insurmountable“in the 5th paragraph mean?A.Valueless.B.Difficult.C.Unnecessary.D.Unacceptable.427.What can we learn from the authors experience?A.Love breaks down barriers.B.Hard work pays off.C.Persistence is the key to success.D.Bravery opens up a new world.CMany of us were lucky enough to have some degree of choice over what we eat.But are the decisions wemake as free as we think?What if there is something other than our own hunger that influences what we eat?Look through social media sites and you will see picture after picture of perfectly presented and extremelydelicious-looking meals.While the smell and taste of food can have a powerful effect on our appetite,are endlessposts of steaming snacks and inviting dishes more than just a feast for our eyes?Certainly,it appears were hugely influenced by other people-especially those closest to us-when it comesto what we eat.Our eating habits are also influenced by what we see.4 4There is some evidence that if you seepictures of food,that visual stimulation can make you feel a desire to eat,“says a UK scientist.But social media is one place where social and visual aspects meet.There is evidence that if friends in yoursocial network post regularly about particular types of food,it could lead you to copy them.If all your friends onsocial media are posting pictures of themselves consuming fast food,its going to cause you to form a false beliefthat eating fast food is what all people do.Research suggests photos of fast food are more likely to make us feel good.Humans tend to,naturally,seekout high-calorie food-an ability that helped our ancestors survive when they hunter for food.In comparison,healthier foods are often seen as boring.Scientists are becoming increasingly concerned about food-relatedcontent on social media which is making us thinking differently about food.Social media algorithms（算 法）promote content that users respond more,so viewing more unhealthy food means seeing even more of it on oursocial media.28.Which statement will the author probably agree with?A.Social media may affect our own food choices.B.Social media should be prohibited.C.We always choose what we eat at will.D.Its inappropriate to ignore friends5 posts of dishes.29.What can be inferred about photos of friends eating fast food?A.They are time-consuming.B.They are all made-up.C.They are a bond of friendship.D.They can be misleading.530.Why are photos of fast food more likely to make us feel good?A.They are more beautiful.B.They are associated with health.C.The cause is biologically rooted.D.The cause is hard to explain.31.How do scientists feel about food-related content on social media?A.Ifs inspiring.B.It?s appealing.C.It?s worrying.D.It5s boring.DIn many casual discussion of language on the Internet,its common to hear about how textspeak（短 信 语 言）“is ruining language.Some people argue that technology has made us lazy about how we speak and write.Mainstream media have complained about the way in which people communicate using technology.Of course,language does change when its used to text or write messages online.Textspeak”is an evolutionof language.Its even the focus of the field of linguistics（语 言 学）called Computer-Mediated Communication（CMC）,This field is devoted to the study of interaction facilitated by technology like computers,mobile phonesand tablets.People have been complaining about language being“ruined“as long as theyve been writing andspeaking.In a talk,linguist John McWhorter shared stories of people complaining about language change throughthe ages.He said in AD 63,for example,a Roman scholar complained that students of Latin were writing in anartificial language,In fact,this writing was a new language that would become French!Today,people are able to communicate rapidly using a wide variety of tools and technologies.Perhaps nolinguistic development better indicates changes in the ways we communicate than the popular emoticon（表 情 符 号）,which can produce very clear pictures in our minds.The emoticon for example,is a visual representationof a smiley face turned sideways.Although an emoticon may look like a smile,a frown or any number of facialexpressions,it doesnt really represent a face.Instead,its intended to express a feeling,such as Im happy or“just joking”.Emoticons that represent these feelings are what linguists call discourse particles.These are little pieces oflanguage that offer information about the tone of the statement though some elders feel puzzled about it.Far fromruining language,it turns out that“textspeak“enables people to communicate complex feelings in a simple,streamlined manner.This kind of change is perfect for the modern,fast-paced world.32.What have mainstream media complained about according to paragraph 1?A.Communication barriers.B.The mode of communication.C.Technological innovations.D.The laziness of modern people.33.How does the author support the argument on language evolution?6A.By giving an example.B.By conducting an experiment.C.By making comparisons.D.By underlying assumptions.34.Which word can best describe emoticons?A.Misty.B.Violent.C.Vivid.D.Mysterious.35.What is the authors attitude towards t6textspeak,7A.Approving.B.Tolerant.C.Unconcerned.D.Unclear.第 二 节（共 5 小 题；每 小 题 2.5分，满 分

way.36 Whether you wander around the streets of Paris or spend a sunny afternoon on theCaribbean beaches,travelling will never fail you as a teacher.37 If you are thinking of some personal development courses,you dont need to do so.Travellingwill change that as things like talking to complete strangers or asking them a favor are not an option but anecessity during your travels.Travel your way to a wonderful place somewhere and youll grow much better thanthrough such courses.Travelling will teach you how to control your fate if you have spent your life always being reactive（被 动 反 应 的）.38 This is even more the case when you travel on your own.Theres no choice but to makedecisions and take initiatives completely by yourself as you dont have anyone to tell you what to do.As you travel,you can better understand how the cultures around the world vary and where the commonground lies.Differences exist in cuisines,manners and lifestyles across different cultures.But in spite of thedifferences,you can find so many commonalities like a shared love for art and nature that bind all the differentcultures together.39Perhaps the most important aspect of the education that comes with traveling is what you know aboutyourself.40 Without travelling,you may even be completely unaware of your real character.If youhavent really decided what you are going to do or what you want to be in the future,travelling extensively andpreferably is one of the best ways to help you make a decision.A.Travelling forces one to be independent.B.Independence is a fundamental goal of education.C.In fact,travelling is one of the best ways to learn things.D.You may realize what you really enjoy and who you really are.E.The understanding of diverse cultures plays a vital role in your education.F.You may be a little shy and find it difficult to take part in social activities.7G.Travelling can be challenging if you are unfamiliar with the native language.第 三 部 分 语 言 运 用（共 两 节，满 分
