30、weather. This is when the ice is easier to drill, and the temperatures are not as severe for scientists living in the Vostok Research Station, which is above the lake.

If so, then you are a third-culture kid! The term “third-culture kid” (
39、or TCK) was coined in the 1960s by Dr. Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India. Caught between two cultures, they form their very own. 16 About 90 percent of them have a university degree, while 40 percent pursue a postgraduate or docto
40、r degree. They usually benefit from their intercultural experience, which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals. 17 In fact many hardships may arise from this phenomenon. A third-culture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected
41、. Instead, they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures. Max, for example, experienced this fundamental feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a third-culture kid. 18 While this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world, it can be difficult for a third-
42、culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships.For a third-culture kid, it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to return to their “home” country. After living in Australia and South Korea for many years, Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager. But she
43、felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born. 19 She did not share the same values as her friends even years after going back home. While a third-culture kid must let go of their identity as foreigner when he/she returns, the home country can prove to be more foreign than an
44、ything he/she came across before. The peer group they face does not match the idealized image children have of “home”. 20 As a part of the growing “culture”, TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places. A. Yet being a third-culture kid is not always easy.B. In general,
45、 they often reach excellent academic results.C. This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity.D. However, their parents can help them see the opportunities of a mobile lifestyle.E. Their experience abroad helps them to gain a better understanding of cultural differences.F. Unlike othe
46、r teens of her age, she didnt know anything about current TV shows or fashion trends.G. Additionally, making new friends and saying goodbye to old ones will at some point become routine for a third-culture kid.第三部分 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，掌握其大意，然后从21-40各题所给的A、B、C和D中，选出
