（2024·江苏泰州·模拟预测）When Mark Twain visited Florence (佛罗伦萨) in 1867, he dutifully visited
the city’s museums, churches, and tombs. But as he stood by the Arno, he began to sense the Italians’ insistence that
it was a river, not a stream. “They all call it a river, and they honestly think it is a river, do these dark and bloody
Florentines,” he complained, “I might enter Florence under happier circumstances a month hence and find it all
beautiful, all attractive. But I do not care to think of it now, at all.”
It’s normal to feel uncomfortable outside your home culture. Feelings of discomfort, dislocation, and
overload among travelers are referred to by many as “culture shock.” But Susan Goldstein, a professor at the
University of Redlands says, “Though the term has existed for many years, ‘Culture shock’ implies a
dramatic,unexpected, negative event. Though many travelers will experience such challenges, a real sense of
‘shock’ is untypical. So untypical that many researchers no longer use the term.”
It was the vivid description of culture shock by Canadian researcher Oberg, written in 1960 in response to
his own multicultural experiences, that won over audiences. The researcher spoke of the adjustment process as “an
occupational disease of people who have suddenly been transplanted abroad” — a “disease” that progressed from a
honeymoon phase, through rejecting the new environment, to finally adjusting fully to it. By the 1970s many
researchers adopted the idea that, like physical illnesses, culture shock progressed through a remarkably consistent
and universal set of stages.
Modern research, however, suggests that the experiences of adaptation are individual, not universal. “People
will have their ups and downs, but for the most part, they will become increasingly comfortable and competent over
time,” Goldstein says. And while many connect the causes of culture shock to the host culture itself, an individual’s
internal expectations and differences are just as important.
As for Mark Twain, the moody author was able to ride out his feelings of upset and dislocation while
traveling. He eventually finished out his European tour - and in his bestselling travel memoir The Innocents
Abroad, famously remarked that travel is “fatal to prejudice and narrow-mindedness.” With the right attitude - and
the willingness to seek help if you need it - it’s more than likely that you, too, can adapt and grow in new settings,
building new memories-and toughness - with each new stamp in your passport.4．How did Mark Twain feel about Italians’ insistence?
A．Annoyed. B．Calm. C．Uninterested. D．Curious.
5．What can be inferred about culture shock?
A．It would lead to physical diseases.
B．It was regarded as an avoidable thing.
C．It was named for people’s adjustment.
D．It had gained wide acceptance by the 1970s.
6．What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．Suggestions about culture shock.
B．A change in understanding culture shock.
C．Stress of the importance of culture shock.
D．A criticism of previous idea of culture shock.
7．Why is Mark Twain mentioned in the last paragraph?
A．To remember him. B．To inform and anticipate.
C．To conclude and encourage. D．To make the ending humorous.

（2024·辽宁丹东·二模）Food waste across the globe continues to fuel climate change, nature loss and
pollution while hurting the global economy according to the UNEP Food Waste Index Report 2024, which says it is
important for countries to connect the fight against hunger and the three global crisis of climate change, pollution
and biodiversity loss.
The report, whose findings revealed that the total food loss on the global economy is estimated at roughly $1
trillion, emphasized that reducing food waste is an opportunity to reduce costs and tackle some of the biggest
environmental and social issues of our time: climate change and food insecurity.
While making opening remarks at the conference that launched the report, Dechen Tsering, acting director of
the climate change division at the UNEP, said government polices, such as tax rebates (退税) and waste collection
fees, could be used to stimulate changes in business practices and consumer behavior. In addition, better data on the
cost of food waste and the environmental, economic, and social benefits of limiting food waste could help influence
investors and consumers.
According to the report, as of 2022, only 21 countries had included food loss and waste reduction in their
national climate plans, including China, Namibia, Sierra Leone, etc. Meanwhile, the number of people who arefood insecure and in urgent need of humanitarian assistance in the Greater Horn of Africa rose to 74 million at the
end of February, according to another report released by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United
Nations and other agencies.
The international agencies said that the 2023 El Nino rains contributed to the rise in the number of people in
need of humanitarian assistance in the region. With wetter-than-normal conditions forecast in most parts of African
countries during the 2024 March-May rainfall season, the situation may not improve.
8．What does the Report 2024 indicate?
A．Food loss is the biggest problem to tackle.
B．Serious pollution can cause food insecurity.
C．Food waste worsens the environmental situation.
D．Many countries are cooperating to fight against hunger.
9．Which of the following may Dechen agree with?
A．Effective measures should be taken by government.
B．Unnecessary costs in climate lead to development problems.
C．Data make no sense to consumer behavior and investors’ decision.
D．Avoiding waste collection fees is beneficial to limiting food waste.
10．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A．Humanitarian assistance is the only way to help African people.
B．Food insecurity is still a big challenge to many African countries.
C．The situation of food waste in Africa becomes more and more severe.
D．The number of people needing help is increasing mainly due to bad weather.
11．What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To reveal the urgent financial situation in Africa.
B．To stress the necessity of food waste prevention.
C．To call for the joint efforts of governments in climate.
D．To raise the awareness of environmental conservation.

（2024·重庆九龙坡·三模）During Yang Zhongkai’s early years, a 500-year-old majestic ginkgo tree that
did not sprout leaves for two to three years at a stretch used to be a daily sight for him on his way to and from high
school. Since villagers widely regarded the tree as having the power to make their wishes come true, they used to
kneel down in front of the “lucky” tree and burn offerings under it, which led to prolonged heat exposure at itsroots, stunting its growth.
“Millions of such old trees are in urgent need of protection given their importance as vital biological
resources and symbols of ecological civilization,” said Yang, who started the team — Zhiyue — dedicated to
protecting ancient trees.“But the recording and management of ancient and famous trees nationwide commonly rely
on Excel spreadsheets (电子表格), which present issues such as information silos, lack of real-time updates and
incomplete content,” he said.
However, things have changed of late. Yang and his team now use the artificial intelligence technology
developed by Tencent Cloud to identify and register trees accurately based on individual traits and GPS tracking.
“With the acceleration of a new generation of technological revolution and industrial transformation, new
technologies bring more excitement to the protection of ancient trees.” Yang said. “We can now collect data on the
trees’ growth, health and environment in real time, which helps us make informed decisions on how to better
protect them.”
“In addition to applying cutting-edge technologies such as AI and large models to assist in the development
of traditional industries, the company also makes great efforts to promote the development of charitable causes
through technological and platform advantages, “Wu Yunsheng said, vice-president of Tencent Cloud, adding
that“the power of technology can change the world”.
12．What does the underlined word“stunting”in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．Preventing. B．Promoting. C．Measuring. D．Maintaining.
13．What problem did ancient trees face according to paragraph 2?
A．The lack of effective protection measures.
B．The risk of information loss and accuracy.
C．The destruction by local villagers.
D．The extreme heat from burning.
14．What do we know about Tencent Cloud's new technology?
A．It enables the collection of real-time data on trees'growth.
B．It is a valuable tool for people to protect the eco-system.
C．It has been widely used in the traditional industries.
D．It can quickly update the number of trees in China.

（2024·湖南长沙·三模）Many people fear failure and try to avoid it even when they have the opportunity
to succeed. They won’t attempt something if they think they might fail. 16
Research the alternatives. 17 When you don’t know-what you’re dealing with, potential
consequences seem far worse than they actually are. Take the power out fear by understanding it. Research all the
potential outcomes(both good and bad) so you genuinely understand the risk of failure and benefits of success.
Analyzing these outcomes will help you see through the fear of failure and make a logical decision.
Another way to overcome the fear of failure is creating a contingency plan (应急计划). 18 Daring to
fail doesn’t mean you have to risk losing it all. If you manage risk intelligently, you can capture the benefits of
high-risk opportunities while leaving yourself a safety net.
Taking action is the best way to reduce fear and build confidence. As soon as you do, you’ll begin
accumulating experience and knowledge. 19 . It’s like jumping off a cliff into a lake-after you do it once,
you see that the water is safe and each time afterwards is easy. Start off with small steps and build up your
confidence until the fear of failure is manageable.

（2024·湖南长沙·三模）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短
文。
My husband Kenny and I grew up playing sports. We both worked in the field of physical education and
coach youth high school track and field. So, Kenny and I weren’t surprised when our daughter, Becky, showed
early athletic promise.
Watching her outrun other kids on the playground, I knew she was destined for winning medals on the track.
Slowly but surely, track took over our lives. Weekends were devoted to training. We stopped taking vacations so the
girl wouldn’t miss any practices. We missed her birthdays and family outings. I even restricted the time she could
spend hanging out with her friends, which would consume the energy she needed for competition:
We didn’t really ask Becky if that was what she wanted. Of course she did! Who wouldn’t want to use a
God-given talent to the fullest? Occasionally, Becky would open up after a loss, “I wish you were the same even if I
have a bad day on the track. I feel like you don’t accept me just for who I am.”
Honestly, that hurt. In my heart, I knew what she said was true. I could behave more like a coach than a
Mom on the sideline. But I didn’t mind. Ensuring her on the track of winning was my only goal. I probably cared
more about the medals than she did. By the time Becky started middle school, our family life had revolved around
(以……为中心) practices and competitions. I had visions of college scholarships, maybe even the Olympics.
One day, at a regional Junior Olympics qualifying event, she twisted her leg and ended up in a heavy fall,
screaming in pain. This was not supposed to happen. Kenny and I pushed her too hard the day before and she
attempted to break the record which was clearly beyond her reach.
We rushed her to the hospital right away. Never did I imagine sitting in a doctor’s office, staring at the X-ray
result as the doctor calmly explained that Becky’s posterior cruciate ligament (后十字韧带) — the thick tissue
stabilizing the back of her knee—was torn.
