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 communication 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 McDonald’s? Does it taste the same?” and “Say something in your language.” It turned out to be the opposite of less communication, 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 ca me up to my locker and whispered, “Is that true that you are a princess(公主)andthat 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 communicate with others wellD. she would have difficulty learning a new language.25.When the author’s classmates knew she was an international student, they ______A. made fun of herB. prepared a special gift for herC. showed interest in her country’s cultureD. were eager to make friends with her26.What does the underlined word “suspiciously” in Para.5 probably mean?A.

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 comfort 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 t he 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 comforting 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 theiremotions , are much worse at comforting 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.

Moms play a significant role in handl ing kids’ emotions31. What’s 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 studyD. To compare human behaviors with Apes’.DZheng He was one of China’s 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 He’s first voyage, he set sail acro ss 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 He’s 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 completed 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. When he died in 1435, the stories of his travels made him one of China’s most famous sailors.32.
