广东省惠州市2020届高三上学期第三次调研考试 英语试题 第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)‎ 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。‎ A Different countries have different tipping customs. When you travel, you need to know how to tip in the country that you’re in; otherwise you’ll leave servers angry everywhere you go.Here are just a few guidelines to tipping around the world.‎ Brazil There will always be a standard 10% service charge added to your bill, and you won’t necessarily have to tip. If you do feel like being generous, an extra 5-10% will really make your server very happy. Just remember to do this as skillfully as possible—Brazilians don’t make a big show of this.‎ Dubai In Dubai it’s a rule for restaurants to charge 10% tip on all restaurant and bar bills. You can add a couple of dirhams（迪拉姆,货币单位）to this if you feel like it. Waiters are not paid very much in Dubai, so it is always very appreciated.‎ Germany German bars and restaurants will include the tip as part of what you owe, but that’s not all you have to pay. It is a custom to round the bill up after that, usually to the euro. This can be anywhere from 5-10%. When it’s time to settle up, you won’t get a bill: your waiter tells you the total and then you tell them how much you want to pay, including your “tip”, and hand over the money.‎ Czech Republic While locals in the Czech Republic don’t leave tips, that doesn’t mean you’re off the hook.Foreign tourists are definitely expected to leave some kind of tip for service—as long as you’re in a high tourist traffic area, like Prague for instance. The standard tip is 10%.‎ India If you like the service, go ahead and tip your server 5-10%. You have to adjust that amount though, based on how big the meal you’re eating is. If the bill is for a small meal, and totals less than 300 rupees, tip the full 10%. If the bill is higher, tip towards the 5%.‎ ‎1. In which country do customers have to tip at least 10% for the service?‎ A. Dubai B. India C. Germany D. Czech Republic ‎2. Which country has different tip cultures between citizens and foreigners?‎ A. Dubai B. Germany C. India D. Czech Republic ‎3. If your bill is 2000 rupees in India, it is proper for you to tip________ rupees.‎ A. 10 B. 80‎ C. 120 D. 200‎ ‎【答案】1. A 2. D 3. C ‎【解析】‎ 分析】‎ 这是一篇说明文，作者介绍了巴西、迪拜、德国、捷克和印度的餐饮小费文化。‎ ‎【1题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文中Dubai（迪拜）部分的介绍“In Dubai it’s a rule for restaurants to charge 10% tip on all restaurant and bar bills. You can add a couple of dirhams to this if you feel like it.”可知在迪拜，餐馆都会直接基于账单收取10%的小费，这已经成为一项规则，在此基础上可以自愿多给。另结合全文，其他国家都没有这种强制性的规矩，故选A。‎ ‎【2题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第五段第一、二句“While locals in the Czech Republic don’t leave tips, that doesn’t mean you’re off the hook. Foreign tourists are definitely expected to leave some kind of tip for service”可知捷克共和国的公民不给小费，但是外国人一定要给小费，在这个国家对于公民和外国游客的小费文化是不同的，故选D。‎ ‎【3题详解】‎ 推理判断题。结合最后一段的总体介绍，一顿饭是否为“大餐”决定了小费比例，并根据“If the bill is for a small meal, and totals less than 300 rupees, tip the full 10%. If the bill is higher, tip towards the 5%.”推知如果消费账单超过300卢布，小费从10%逐步下降，最低至 ‎ 5%，2000卢布的账单小费应该小于10%（200卢布）大于5%（100卢布），只有C项的120落在这个区间范围内，故选C。‎ ‎【点睛】完成阅读理解中的“细节理解”题型，应注意对干扰项的辄别和排除，例如本篇中的第1小题，如果没有仔细阅读文本，可能会因A项Dubai（迪拜）和D项Czech Republic（捷克）的对应段落中都含有“强制性小费标准为10%”的表述而错选，但仔细阅读文章后发现，locals in the Czech Republic don’t leave tips（捷克当地人是无须给小费的），强制性的小费只对游客有效，它和迪拜全体给小费的情况很不同，因而要及时排除干扰项D。‎ B My nephew came for a visit one hot, July weekend. I persuaded him to stay inside by joining him in a Nintendo game. After being mercilessly defeated by a more experienced player, I suggested that we relax for a while. He slipped out of the room and I caught a few moments of peace and quiet.‎ ‎“Look, Alice,” he said enthusiastically as he ran over to the chair where I was recovering. “I found a kite. Could we go outside and fly it?”‎ Glancing out of a nearby window, I noticed there was not a breeze (微风). “I'm sorry, Tripper,” I said, sad to see his disappointed eyes, but thankful for the short period of rest from more activities. “The wind is not blowing today. The kite won’t fly.”‎ The determined 10-year-old replied. “I think it’s windy enough. I can get it to fly,” he answered, as he hurried out through the back door. I peeked through the curtains to watch determination in action. Up and down the yard he ran, pulling the kite attached to a small length of string. The plastic kite, proudly displaying a picture of Batman, remained about shoulder level.‎ He ran back and forth, as hard as his ten-year-old legs would carry him, looking back hopefully at the kite trailing behind. After about ten minutes of unsuccessful determination, he came back in.‎ I asked, “How did it go?” “Fine,” he said, “I got it to fly some.” As he walked past me to return the kite to the closet shelf, I heard him say under his breath, “I guess I'll have to wait for the wind.”‎ At that moment I heard another voice speak to my heart. “Alice, sometimes you are just like that. You want to do it your way instead of waiting for the wind.” And the voice was right. We usually want to use our own efforts to accomplish what we want to do. We wait for the wind only ‎ after we have done all we can and have exhausted our own strength. We must learn how to rely on Him in the first place!‎ ‎4. The writer didn’t fly the kite with his nephew because she _____________.‎ A. was not so experienced in flying kites B. wanted to get relaxed C. preferred to stay in peace and quiet D. thought the weather was not suitable ‎5. Which word can best describe Tripper?‎ A. naughty B. insistent C. sensitive D. clever ‎6. What can we infer from Paragraph 5?‎ A. Tripper became hopeless.‎ B. Tripper was easy to give up.‎ C. Tripper didn’t want to admit defeat.‎ D. Tripper was disappointed with the kite flying.‎ ‎7. What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. Try Your Best B. Wait for the Wind C. Fly a Kite in Life D. Determine to Succeed ‎【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. B ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了“我”10 岁的侄子在一个风平浪静的日子里执意要去放风筝， 但不管他如何跑来跑去，风筝依旧飞不起来；无奈，他只能决定等有了风再去放风筝。由此引发作者的感悟，我们人类往往会按照自己的意愿行事，而不管有无“东风”，不管客观条件是否允许。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第三段的第一句“Glancing out of a nearby window, I noticed there was not a breeze”和最后一句“The wind is not blowing today. The kite won’t fly”，可知作者觉得当天没有风，风筝根本飞不起来，D选项正确。B、C均是干扰项，文中的确有提及作者想要放松（玩游戏被打败之后），享受宁静时光（外甥打玩游戏溜出去的那一瞬），均位于第一段，不是发生在外甥想放风筝之时（第三段），回答此题需要特别注意圈定答题区间，故选D。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 推理判断题。本题要求判断外甥的性格特点，结合全文的情节，Tripper在玩游戏时赢了作者，接着找到了风筝，在没有风的情况下，不顾“我”的劝阻，还是坚持放风筝，无功而返之后仍不轻言放弃，最后还低声说一定要等到起风了出去放风筝，说明了Tripper是个做事坚持（insistent）的人，故选B。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第五段中“我”问他风筝怎么样时，他的回答“I got it to fly some”可知，他并不承认自己被没有风的现实打败，并不愿意认输，C正确A、B错误；但同时他清楚风筝其实飞不起来，所以才说“I guess I'll have to wait for the wind”，因此D中“with the kite flying.”有事实性错误，故选C。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 主旨大意题（最佳标题选择题）。综合全文，作者通过一个小故事，在最后一段提出自己的感想感悟，“You want to do it your way instead of waiting for the wind”，并进行了展开论述：不要一味盲目地只凭借自己的力量去完成我们想做的事情，不要出“盲力”，应该一开始就寻求我们所能利用的条件，学会“借东风”，而这个有利条件，文章中用wind一词来象征。综合以上的主旨，故选B。‎ C Chinese Culture Shown to the World with Love Li Ziqi, a short video blogger specializing in traditional Chinese cooking and handicrafts, has gained worldwide popularity.‎ Li has about 20 million followers on Sina Weibo, China’s equivalent to Twitter, plus 7 million followers on overseas social media networks. Many foreigners say they have got to know traditional Chinese food culture via her channel.‎ It is the spirit of craftsmanship (技艺) behind her works that makes Li’s video clips attractive. She strictly follows the authentic traditional steps and procedures in making traditional Chinese food and handicrafts, such as peach flower wine and silk, and goes to great lengths to ensure her videos are accurate. Sometimes she spends several months producing one of her videos.‎ Li has been inheriting (继承) traditional Chinese culture in a rather creative way. A closer look at her videos will show that they are never with any “analysis” that makes people feel bored. They just show audiences each and every detail of traditional Chinese culture so that the latter ‎ knows how Chinese live their beautiful and elegant lives. It is that universal appeal that makes her works so attractive. Thanks to Li's efforts, many intangible cultural heritages that only existed in memories and written records now appear before our eyes. Via her short videos, Li presents the image of a beautiful and friendly China.‎ With the growth of the Chinese economy, people overseas are showing more interest in traditional Chinese culture. Li has shown how to satisfy that interest in a good way, namely showing the best parts of traditional Chinese culture with her heart.‎ To effectively present the beauty of Chinese culture to the world, we need more Li Ziqi.‎ ‎8. What can we learn about Li Ziqi’s video clips?‎ A. They promote the sales of Chinese food and handicrafts.‎ B. They attract a large number of foreigners to visit her online shop.‎ C. They aim to introduce traditional Chinese food culture and handicrafts worldwide.‎ D. They are based on her family’s recipes of making traditional Chinese food.‎ ‎9. What could be inferred from Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4?‎ A. Analysis of Chinese culture in Li’s videos makes people bored.‎ B. Details and accuracy play significant roles in the success of Li’s videos.‎ C. Li makes sure all of her video clips are short enough to be downloaded.‎ D. Cultural heritages usually exist in memories and written accounts.‎ ‎10. What does the underlined word “intangible” in Paragraph 4 mean?‎ A. nonphysical B. inaccessible C. invaluable D. unnoticeable ‎11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?‎ A. To provide guidance on cooking and making handicrafts.‎ B. To suggest a way of attracting more followers on Sina Weibo.‎ C. To give an example of how to gain worldwide popularity as a a short video blogger.‎ D. To encourage more people to make efforts to bring Chinese culture to the world.‎ ‎【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了以拍摄古风美食短视频出名的李子柒如何把中国人传统而本真的生活方式呈现出来，让现代都市人找到一种心灵的归属感，也让世界理解了一种生活中的中国文化，李子柒将中国文化以一种创新的方式引向世界。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段主题句“Li Ziqi, a short video blogger specializing in traditional Chinese cooking and handicrafts, has gained worldwide popularity.”以及第二段“Many foreigners say they have got to know traditional Chinese food culture via her channel”可知，专注于中国传统烹饪和手工艺品的短视频博客作者李子柒在全球范围内广受欢迎，外国友人通过她的频道了解了中国传统饮食文化，李子柒的视频旨在将中国文化引向世界，故选C。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“She strictly follows the authentic traditional steps and procedures, and goes to great lengths to ensure her videos are accurate.”以及第四段第三句“They just show audiences each and every detail of traditional Chinese culture so that the latter knows how Chinese live their beautiful and elegant lives.”可知，在制作中国传统食品和手工艺品时，李子柒严格遵循地道的传统步骤和程序，并竭尽全力确保视频的准确性。她的视频向观众展示传统中国文化的每一个细节，以便让观众了解中国人的日常生活。因此，准确度和细节是李子柒的视频如此受欢迎的主要原因，故选 B。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据划线词后的修饰语“that only existed in memories and written records now appear before our eyes.”可知，在李子柒的努力下，许多仅存在于记忆和书面记录中的文化遗产现在出现在我们眼前，而文化遗产显然有别于物质遗产。结合文中出现的cultural heritages词组及本文的语境，可知划线词意思是“非物质的、无形的、触摸不到的”，B.难以接近的；C.非常贵重的；D.不明显的均不符语境，故选A。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 推理判断题。本题要求推理分析作者的写作意图，根据第五段第二句“Li has shown how to satisfy that interest in a good way, namely showing the best parts of traditional Chinese culture with her heart.”以及全文最后一段“To effectively present the beauty of Chinese culture to the world, we need more Li Ziqi.”可知，本文主要介绍了以拍摄古风美食短视频出名的李子柒如何把中国人传统而本真的生活方式呈现出来，向世界打开美丽中国的一扇窗口，让世界理解了一种生活着的中国文化。作者希望未来有更多像李子柒这样的人物向世界展示和推广中国传统文化，故选 D。‎ D When students got their textbooks at the beginning of the year at San Mateo High School, they also received the Yondr pouch Youdr (口袋), a locking device for their phones. The phone slides into it and gets locked through a magnetic (磁力的) device. It’s not unlocked again until the final bell rings. The procedure will repeat every day for the rest of the school year.‎ Adam Gelb, the vice-president, ran a pilot project last year with 20 students and decided to do a school-wide, bell to bell program for this school year. The Yondr pouch is a start-up in San Francisco with a mission to create phone-free spaces, something that is the very thought with Gelb.‎ ‎“I really think it’s about being present and engaging in the adult that’s trying to teach you, and your peers that might be in your small group. That’s part of the main philosophy that we're trying to spread,” he said.‎ Brad Friedman, another teacher at the school, said he was becoming concerned with overuse of phones at school. He said he often saw students completely lost on their phones, some not socializing at all with other students.‎ This week, he’s already seeing the difference. “Everyone else was socializing and eating lunch together. That’s what I wasn’t seeing enough of when phone usage is at its worst,” he said.‎ A senior at San Mateo High School Djelani Phillips-Diop said he definitely panicked at first when he heard he had to lock his phone. “I panicked, I guess. Last year when we had phones, I was using it every day,” he said.‎ In case of emergency, every classroom has the unlocking device. Teachers still have access to their own cellphones and desk phones. “We’ve gotten all 1,700 students unlocked with a matter of minutes,” said Gelb.‎ We spoke to four students who, despite their initial panic, agreed that a phone-free school experience has its benefits.‎ ‎12. What can we learn about the Yondr pouch from paragraph 1?‎ A. It is a device to lock phones. B. It is a bell to unlock phones.‎ C. It is a device to be used for a year. D. It is a phone intended for students.‎ ‎13. The Youdr pouch is used more in Gelb’s school to ______________________.‎ A. create space to use phones freely B. help the students to be more outgoing C. encourage more mutual communication among students D. help the students to realize the harm of overuse of phones ‎14. What is Friedman’s attitude to the use of the Yondr pouch ?‎ A. Concerned. B. Favorable.‎ C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful.‎ ‎15 What can be learned from the passage?‎ A. The students were willing to have their phones locked at first.‎ B. The phone will get unlocked automatically when there is an emergency C Students prefer eating lunch together with their phones in hand.‎ D. Some students came to realize the benefits of the phone-free program.‎ ‎【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了美国加州的San Mateo High School（圣马特奥市中学）在新学期发放课本的同时也发给学生一个用来锁手机的袋子——the Yondr pouch，以此来限制学生在校过度使用手机，逐渐把学生的注意力从一块手机屏幕转移到更有意义的校园活动和社交上来。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段“they also received the Yondr pouch, a locking device for their phones.”可知the Yondr pouch是一个用来锁手机的设备，故选A。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段引用副校长（这项创新举措的设计者之一）的原话“I really think it’s about being present and engaging in the adult that’s trying to teach you, and your peers that might be in your small group. That’s part of the main philosophy that we're trying to spread”可知，在学校推广the Yondr pouch的目的是让学生不使用手机，专注于参与老师或小组的活动；第五段也提到，没有手机在手，学生们能相互交流，共进午餐，大家愿意参与校园社交了，情况发生了很大的变化，故选C。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 推理判断题。本题要求判断这位同学对校方这项做法的态度，根据第四、五段可知Brad Friedman看到了使用the Yondr ‎ pouch前后学生的变化——很多人从沉溺于手机到积极参与社交，校内氛围好了很多，由此推断出他是满意这种变化的，而四个选项中只有favorable（赞成的、赞许的）符合这种“褒”的态度，故选B。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“We spoke to four students who, despite their initial panic, agreed that a phone-free school experience has its benefits.”可推知有一部分学生从最初的恐慌、抵触逐渐转变，最终意识到“无手机校园”的好处，D项中came to realize the benefits很好地表达出了学生态度有前后变化，且内容契合原文，故选D。‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Competition is a common phenomenon in our social life. ___16___ There is constant competition for academic degrees, jobs, customers, money and so forth. In a sense, competition is one of the motive forces to the development of society.‎ ‎___17___ Therefore, the only way to survive is to be competitive. Growing in a competitive environment is important for a child because future adult life is difficult. Finding a good job, for example, is an extremely competitive activity.‎ Today, most people obtain knowledge through various ways and a large number of people get good education. ___18___The quality of people is rapidly increasing. Competition is more violent than what we thought it should be. The potentially successful job applicant has to be prepared in stronger position by gaining more qualifications and experience. In the sports contests, the strongest will come out as winners. In the business world, to beat your competitors, you must be better than the other employees. ___19___‎ Though the only way our world rewards people is to give honor to the winners, not to the losers, by attempting to compete at different activities, we can still learn to win and lose, gain experience and know our strengths and weaknesses. Competition prepares us for the tough things in life.‎ Whether in games, in study or in business alike, the aim is to win the game, the degree, the trophy, and the contract. ___20___‎ A. Otherwise, you will be defeated.‎ B. Modern society demands high-quality talents.‎ C. Learning to be competitive is clearly the best preparation for life.‎ D. There are also many people who have higher degrees in their special fields.‎ E. Children have to learn to be competitive in order to adapt to modern society.‎ F. In the natural world, the weak will be replaced by the strong and the fittest can live.‎ G. We compete when we play games and when we try to do better than others in our study.‎ ‎【答案】16. G 17. F 18. D 19. A 20. C ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇议论文，作者围绕“竞争”这一中心词，作者论述了竞争在现实生活中、在各个领域的普遍性，竞争是人们在社会中生活的一种方式，最后阐述了“学会竞争是为人生做的最好的准备”这一观点。‎ ‎【16题详解】‎ 此题考查学生对语篇上下文的理解能力。上一句说竞争是我们社会生活中常见的现象，“Competition is a common phenomenon in our social life.”为一句总起句，下一句提到存在竞争的其他方面，“There is constant competition for academic degrees, jobs, customers, money and so forth. ”因此，此空应该起承上启下的作用。既会谈到竞争，也会涉及到竞争的具体某些方面，G项则讲当我们在玩游戏和学习要比别人做得更好时就会竞争，这些都是竞争的具体表现（具体某些方面），符合题意，故选G。‎ ‎【17题详解】‎ 此题考查上下句之间因果关系。根据下一句和本段所举例子可知，正因为F中所述，“In the natural world, the weak will be replaced by the strong and the fittest can live.”在自然界中，弱肉强食，物竞天择，适者生存，“Therefore, the only way to survive is to be competitive. ”所以生存下来的唯一途径就是竞争。即F项所举例子与下一句构成强因果关系，故选 F。‎ ‎【18题详解】‎ 该空承上启下，提示词在上一句，句中讲当今社会大多数人“most people”通过各种方式获取知识，许多人得到良好的教育，本空D项则补充讲也有许多人“There are also many people”在他们的某些特殊领域拥有更高的学位，一前一后，分别讲全民通识教育和精英教育，再下一句得出结论：这说明人的素质在迅速提高，因此竞争也更加激烈，D符合题意。此题干扰项为B“Modern society demands high-quality talents.”现代社会需要高智商天赋的人。虽然此句也有quality出现，但此段讲述人们为了增强自己的竞争力，不断获取新知识，并无提及拥有与生俱来的天赋（talent），故此题选 D。‎ ‎【19题详解】‎ 此空与前一句是条件关系，“In the business world, to beat your competitors, you must be better than the other employees.”意思是，在一个商业社会中，要打败你的竞争对手，你就必须比其他员工更强，“Otherwise, you will be defeated.”否则你就会被打败，otherwise（否则）在此处起到提示作用，表示满足不了前一句的条件，就会出现“被打败”的情况，故选A。‎ ‎【20题详解】‎ 此空设在文章末尾，是总结句，起首尾呼应的作用。既是对本文的总结，又与文章开头第一段呼应，本题侧重语篇和文章结构关系的考查。文章开头“Competition is a common phenomenon in our social life.”竞争是我们社会生活中普遍的现象，同时，该空上一句讲“Whether in games, in study or in business alike, the aim is to win the game, the degree, the trophy, and the contract.”无论在哪个领域，我们的目的都是“赢”，赢得一切；因此，“Learning to be competitive is clearly the best preparation for life.”（所以学会竞争显然是为人生做最好的准备），呼应文章开头并总结全文、点题，故选C。‎ ‎【点睛】七选五是一种极其注重考查文章结构、上下文联系和逻辑关系的题目，经常从这些方面设置干扰项。例如本题中的第2小题，此题中干扰项为E：“Children have to learn to be competitive in order to adapt to modern society.”（为了适应现代社会， 孩子们不得不学会去竞争），虽然该段下文就有一处提到 “Growing in a competitive environment is important for a child because future adult life is difficult. ”似乎与E选项内容十分“匹配”，但这正是容易误选之处。‎ 实际上，该空紧挨着的下句，第一个词便是therefore（因此），这类表示逻辑关系的词语在七选五题目中一旦出现，必须引起大家的十二分注意，它们是重要的提示词。在这里，therefore表示前后两句构成因果关系，而后一句是“生存的唯一方式是去竞争”，F中描述的自然界中弱肉强食、物竞天择现象，与后一句形成因果关系，而E与后一句则明显不构成这种因果关系，而是在用不同表述阐述相近的观点，故排除。‎ 第二部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A,B,C,D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Very few of us become fluent in another language by studying it in high school.‎ I made a (an) ___21___ to maintain (保持) the little bit of French that I learned in school, but eventually realized that this was ___22___ . I was well aware that new languages are___23___‎ ‎ learned when young, and that our abilities ___24___ with age. However, just before my 50th birthday, I ___25___ French classes.‎ After I was ___26___ to see which group I belonged to, I was placed at almost the ___27___ level. When I looked around at my first Saturday morning class, I was ___28___ by how many of the students were learning French as a third, fourth, or ___29___ fifth language.‎ While I’d always considered myself as a quick ___30___ , that was no longer the case. I ___31___ new vocabulary very slowly. What I learned one week seemed to ___32___ as soon as I learned the next skill. I looked up the same ___33___ and language structures over and over again.‎ Now, a couple of ___34___ in, I can listen to the news in French and catch 90 percent of it on the first try, read a novel if the language is not too difficult, and hold up my end of a ___35___ if it doesn’t go too fast. Who knows what I might still ___36___ ? I’ve learned so much beyond grammar and vocabulary. I’ve met people from around the world who have the ___37___to make fools of themselves to learn something new. I have a ___38___ understanding of how something can look ___39___ different from another perspective. I’ve learned that a language is not just a set of words, but a way of ___40___ .‎ But most of all, I’ve learned that it really is never too late to learn something new.‎ ‎21.
