How to Apply for Scholarships
Unlike most financial aid, scholarships allow you to earn money for college without the worry of needing to pay it back. Here is some advice on how to apply for and potentially win a scholarship!
Finding Scholarships that Fit Your Needs. Scholarships are often offered to specific groups of people, and your background can open up scholarship opportunities.
★ If looking for scholarships in the US, you can start by searching the U.S. Department of Labor’s scholarship search.
★ If you come from a military family, look on the Federal Student Aid website for information on scholarships available to you.
★ If you know what colleges you plan to apply to or are already admitted into a certain college, look for merit scholarships(优秀奖学金) offered by these specific schools. You can find this information on their website or through the financial aid office.
★ Some colleges and private organizations offer service-based scholarships. If you have been particularly engaged in serving one specific cause, see if there are scholarships which specifically offer money to students who have served that cause.
Writing Scholarship Essays. Do some research on the organization offering the scholarship and write down what they care about in one sentence. This will help you better understand your audience and consider ways to tailor your application to their expectations. For example, let’s say the organization wants to invest in future leaders. In your essay, you should include stories that demonstrate your abilities as a leader (in big or small settings). Please note: the last thing a scholarship committee wants to read is an essay lacking real personal information or flavor. Write in a voice that is true to who you are. Tell stories to illustrate your points but never lie about your experiences. Most importantly, don’t be disqualified for silly reasons like word limits, spell check and deadlines.
Finding the right recommenders. Choose a teacher, coach, or employer who knows you well. Academic references should come from teachers and school administrators, while character references can come from employers, coaches or unrelated adults who you interact with regularly. Avoid relatives and friends. Sponsors naturally assume that their opinions are not objective and may not take them seriously as a result.
36.Compared with other financial aid, what’s the advantage of scholarships?
A.It needn’t be paid back.
B.It is easier to apply for.
C.It can satisfy all your needs.
D.It offers a larger sum of money.
37.If you’ve already been admitted into a university, which scholarship best suits you?
A.Department of Labor’s scholarships. B.Merit scholarships.
C.Federal Student Aid scholarships. D.Service-based scholarships
38.What should be avoided in writing scholarship essays?
A.Doing some research beforehand.
B.Offering supporting evidence.
C.Adding some fictional stories.
D.Keeping the deadline in mind.
39.Who is not qualified for being a recommender?
A.Your uncle. B.Your employer. C.Your colleague. D.Your teacher.
40.From which is the text probably taken?
A.A textbook. B.A travel brochure
C.A science magazine. D.An official website of a university.
【答案】36.A 37.B 38.C 39.A 40.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何申请奖学金。
36.细节理解题。根据第一段中“Unlike most financial aid, scholarships allow you to earn money for college without the worry of needing to pay it back.”(与大多数经济援助不同,奖学金让你赚到上大学的钱,而不用担心需要偿还。)可知,与其他经济援助相比,奖学金的优势是它不需要偿还。故选A项。
37.细节理解题。根据第五段中“If you know what colleges you plan to apply to or are already admitted into a certain college, look for merit scholarships offered by these specific schools.”(如果你知道自己打算申请哪所大学,或者已经被某所大学录取了,那就去看看这些学校提供的优秀奖学金吧。)可知,如果你已经被一所大学录取,优秀学生奖学金最适合你。故选B项。
38.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Write in a voice that is true to who you are. Tell stories to illustrate your points but never lie about your experiences.”(用真实的自己的声音来写作。讲故事来阐明你的观点,但绝不要对你的经历撒谎。)可知,在写奖学金论文时应该避免增加一些虚构的故事。故选C项。
39.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Avoid relatives and friends. Sponsors naturally assume that their opinions are not objective and may not take them seriously as a result.”(避开亲朋好友。赞助者自然认为他们的意见不客观,因此可能不会认真对待。)故可推知,你的叔叔没有资格成为推荐人。故选A项。
40.推理判断题。根据文章大意以及“If you come from a military family, look on the Federal Student Aid website for information on scholarships available to you.”(如果你来自军人家庭,可以在联邦学生援助网站上查找奖学金信息。)和“You can find this information on their website or through the financial aid office.”(你可以在他们的网站上或通过财政援助办公室找到这些信息。)故可推知,这篇文章可能是来自大学的官方网站。故选D项
B
Even then my only friends were made of paper and ink. At school I had learned to read and write long before the other children. Where my school friends saw ink on pages, I saw light, streets and people. Words and the mystery of their hidden science fascinated me, and I saw in them a key with which I could unlock a new world. My father didn’t like to see books in the house. There was something about them that offended him. He used to tell me that I’d better get rid of all my crazy ideas if I didn’t want to end up a nobody. I used to hide my books under the mattress (垫子) and wait for him to fall asleep so that I could read. Once he caught me reading at night and flew into a rage (愤怒). He tore the book from my hands and flung (扔、掷) it out of the window.
“If I catch you wasting electricity again, reading all this nonsense, you’ll be sorry.”
My father was not a miser (吝啬鬼) and, despite the hardship we suffered, whenever he could he gave me a few coins so that I could buy myself some treats like the other children. He was convinced that I spent them on sweets, but I would keep them in a coffee tin under the bed, and when I’d collected enough coins I’d secretly rush out to buy myself a book.
My favorite place in the whole city was the Sempere & Sons Bookshop on Calle Sant Ana. The bookseller would let me sit on a chair in a corner and read any book I liked to my heart’s content. When it was time for me to leave, I would do so dragging my feet, a weight on my soul. If it had been up to me, I would have stayed there forever.
One Christmas Sempere gave me that best gift I had ever received. “Great expectations, by Charles Dickens,” I read on the cover. I was aware that Sempere knew a few authors who frequented his establishment (企业) and, judging by the care with which he handled the volume, I thought perhaps this Mr. Dickens was one of them.
“A friend of yours?”, I asked.
“A lifelong friend. And from now on, he’s your friend too.” Sempere answered.
That afternoon I took my new friend home. It was a rainy winter, with days as gray as lead, and I read Great Expectations about nine times, partly because I had no other book at hand, partly because I did not think there could be a better one in the whole world and I was beginning to suspect that Mr. Dickens had written it just for me. Soon I was convinced that I didn’t want to do anything else in life but learn to do what Mr. Dickens had done.

(文字及其隐藏的神秘科学让我着迷,我在其中看到了一把可以打开新世界的钥匙)”和最后一段“Soon I was convinced that I didn’t want to do anything else in life but learn to do what Mr. Dickens had done. (很快我就确信,除了学习狄更斯所做的事情之外,我不想在生活中做任何其他事情)”可知,文章主要讲述了作者热爱阅读,以及阅读对他成长的影响。因此,D项“对作者阅读爱好的描述”最能概括文章主旨。故选D。
42.推理判断题。根据第一段中“My father didn’t like to see books in the house. There was something about them that offended him. He used to tell me that I’d better get rid of all my crazy ideas if I didn’t want to end up a nobody. (我父亲不喜欢家里有书。书里有什么东西冒犯了他。他过去常常告诉我,如果我不想最终一事无成,最好放弃我所有疯狂的想法)”可知,作者的父亲不理解作者对文学的热爱,认为那是疯狂的想法。故选C。
43.细节理解题。根据第四段中“The bookseller would let me sit on a chair in a corner and read any book I liked to my heart’s content. (书店老板会让我坐在角落里的椅子上,随心所欲地读任何我喜欢的书)”可知,作者最看重Sempere & Sons Bookshop的是可以随心所欲地读书。故选C。
44. 词句猜测题。根据第四段中画线句“When it was time for me to leave, I would do so dragging my feet, a weight on my soul. If it had been up to me, I would have stayed there forever. (当我要离开的时候,我会拖着脚走,心里沉甸甸的。如果由我决定,我会永远留在那里)”可知,作者要离开书店时,心里是不情愿的,所以拖着脚走。A. reluctance不情愿;B. annoyance恼怒;C. indifference漠不关心;D. regret遗憾。故选A。
45.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段“Soon I was convinced that I didn’t want to do anything else in life but learn to do what Mr. Dickens had done. (很快我就确信,除了学习狄更斯所做的事情之外,我不想在生活中做任何其他事情)和第四段中“If it had been up to me, I would have stayed there forever. (如果我说了算,我会永远呆在那里)”可知,作者小时候把书当作朋友,即便父亲反对也想尽办法阅读,以及后来得到《远大前程》这本书后如痴如醉地阅读,觉得世上没有比这更好的书,甚至想以后就像狄更斯先生那样写作等内容可以看出,阅读在作者的生活中为他提供了一种归属感,就像朋友一样陪伴着他。故选C。
C
The debate surrounding the ideal approach to education has been ongoing for many years. One suggestion that often arises is the inclusion of unpaid community service as a compulsory component of high school programs. In reality, a significant number of students, including those in college, already engage in charitable work, community service, and internships (实习) prior to graduation. Personally, I am totally in favor of it.
Participating in volunteer activities offers students numerous benefits, particularly in terms of improved social relationships. Engaging in these services provides graduating students with valuable experiences that help prepare them for the challenges they will encounter in society at a young age. Charities may teach students how to help the needy and spread warmth without the form of money. Activities such as helping neighbors or mentoring younger pupils are practical ways to enhance social acceptability, as they encourage greater communication and interaction with others. Additionally, involvement in these programs encourages students to make more meaningful use of their time, promoting outdoor activities that contribute to their overall well-being. Rather than spending excessive time at home playing video games or chatting online, students can dedicate their time to helping others.
Moreover, unpaid school programs can address various issues commonly faced by young individuals. A previous study conducted in the United States revealed a significant reduction in the juvenile (未成年的) crime rate, specifically from 11.6% to 6.3% around the year 2015. Fear, anxiety, and loneliness are prevalent among youths who may feel rejected by society. However, successful completion of community service teaches a sense of accomplishment, promoting communication skills and developing self-confidence. These aspects play a crucial role in transforming young individuals into responsible and productive members of society.
Overall, unpaid programs for school students are the key parts to shape students’ worldviews before they step into society. It is a challenging decision for the government, but it is undeniably a win-win situation for both students and communities. By actively participating in unpaid community service, students acquire essential life skills, enhance their social connections, contribute to the improvement of society, and lay a strong foundation for their personal and professional growth. It is an approach that holds enormous potential and should be given serious consideration in the field of education.
46.What is the topic of the ongoing debate mentioned in the passage?
A.The importance of extracurricular activities in education.
B.The inclusion of unpaid community service in high school.
C.The existing involvement of students in internships.
D.The effectiveness of college internships.
47.Participating in volunteer activities help graduating students with ________.
A.acquiring job opportunities
B.improving their financial status
C.enhancing their physical fitness
D.preparing for challenges in society

A.It lowered the juvenile crime rate.
B.It placed financial burdens on students.
C.It improved students’ study performance.
D.It promoted excessive video game playing.

D
Scientists have created by accident an enzyme (酶) that breaks down plastic drinks bottles. The breakthrough could help solve the global plastic pollution crisis by enabling for the first time the full recycling of bottles.
The new research was prompted by the discovery in 2016 of the first bacterium that had naturally evolved to eat plastic at a waste dump in Japan. Scientists have now revealed the detailed structure of the crucial enzyme produced by the bug.
An international team then adjusted the enzyme to see how it had evolved, but tests showed they had accidentally made the molecule even better at breaking down the plastic used for drinks bottles. “What actually turned out was we improved the enzyme, which was a bit of a shock,” said head researcher Prof. McGeehan, at the University of Portsmouth, UK.
Currently, the enzyme takes a few days to start breaking down the plastic, far faster than the centuries it takes in the oceans, but the researchers are optimistic this can be speeded up even further and become a practical large-scale process.
“What we are hoping to do is use this enzyme to turn this plastic back into its original components, so we can literally recycle it back to plastic,” said McGeehan. “It means we won’t need to dig up any more oil and, fundamentally, it should reduce the amount of plastic in the environment.”
About 1 million plastic bottles are sold each minute around the globe and, with just 14% recycled, many end up in the oceans where they have polluted even the remote parts, harming marine life and potentially people who eat seafood. “Plastic is incredibly resistant to decomposition,” one of these wonder materials that has been made a little bit too well.
Currently those bottles that are recycled can only be turned into not transparent fibres for clothing or carpets, while the new enzyme indicates a way to recycle old clear plastic bottles back into new clear plastic bottles.
“You are always up against the fact oil is cheap, so plastic is cheap,” said McGeehan. “It is so easy for manufacturers to generate more of that stuff, rather than even try to recycle, but I believe there is a public interest here: attitude is changing so much that companies are starting to look at how they can properly recycle these bottles.”
Prof. Adisa Azapagic, at the University of Manchester in the UK, agreed the enzyme could be useful but added: “A full life-cycle assessment would be needed to ensure that the technology does not solve one environmental problem — waste — at the expense of others, including additional greenhouse gas emissions.”
51.What do we learn from the passage about an enzyme scientists have created?
A.It was identified during a lab experiment accident.
B.It may make full recycling of plastic bottles a reality.
C.It was a breakthrough made with persistent efforts.
D.It may motivate a dramatic reform in plastic industry.
52.What does the passage say about the bug that produces the important enzyme?
A.It has a natural ability to consume plastics.
B.It is a bacterium that reproduces at a high rate.
C.It is essential to the recycling of plastic bottles.
D.It has a chemical structure unknown to scientists.
53.By adjusting the enzyme produced by the bug, the scientists ________.
A.made it more effective by chance
B.altered its basic molecular composition
C.discovered an extraordinary chemical
D.found its evolutionary process sped up
54.What does Prof. McGeehan say about the recycling of plastic bottles?
A.Manufacturers are implementing it on an increasingly larger scale.
B.It generates huge business opportunities for plastic manufacturers.
C.It has aroused persistent interest among the general public.
D.Manufacturers are beginning to explore ways of doing it.
55.What is Prof. Adisa Azapagic’s attitude towards the application of the enzyme?
A.Supportive. B.Skeptical. C.Indifferent. D.Enthusiastic.
【答案】51.B 52.A 53.A 54.D 55.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家意外创造了一种能分解塑料饮料瓶的酶,这一突破有望首次实现瓶子的完全回收,从而帮助解决全球塑料污染危机。
51.细节理解题。根据第一段“The breakthrough could help solve the global plastic pollution crisis by enabling for the first time the full recycling of bottles.(这一突破可能有助于解决全球塑料污染危机,首次实现瓶子的完全回收。)”可知,科学家创造的酶可能使塑料瓶的完全回收成为现实。故选B。
52.细节理解题。根据第二段“The new research was prompted by the discovery in 2016 of the first bacterium that had naturally evolved to eat plastic at a waste dump in Japan.(这项新研究是在2016年日本的一个垃圾场发现了第一种自然进化到可以吃塑料的细菌后引发的。)”可知,产生重要酶的细菌有消耗塑料的自然能力。故选A。
53.细节理解题。根据第三段“An international team then adjusted the enzyme to see how it had evolved, but tests showed they had accidentally made the molecule even better at breaking down the plastic used for drinks bottles.(一个国际团队随后调整了这种酶,以观察它是如何进化的,但测试显示,他们意外地使这种分子在分解用于饮料瓶的塑料方面更加有效。)”可知,通过调整这种细菌产生的酶,科学家们偶然使它更有效。故选A。
54.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“It is so easy for manufacturers to generate more of that stuff, rather than even try to recycle, but I believe there is a public interest here: attitude is changing so much that companies are starting to look at how they can properly recycle these bottles.(对于制造商来说,生产更多的这种东西非常容易,甚至都不尝试回收,但我相信这里有公众利益:人们的态度发生了很大变化,公司开始研究如何正确回收这些瓶子。)”可知,麦吉汉教授认为制造商开始探索回收塑料瓶的途径。故选D。
55.推理判断题。根据最后一段“A full life-cycle assessment would be needed to ensure that the technology does not solve one environmental problem — waste — at the expense of others, including additional greenhouse gas emissions.(需要进行全面的生命周期评估,以确保该技术不会以牺牲其他环境问题为代价来解决一个环境问题——废物,包括额外的温室气体排放。)”可知,阿迪萨·阿扎皮吉教授认为需要进行全面的生命周期评估,以确保该技术不会以牺牲其他环境问题为代价来解决一个环境问题,所以阿迪萨·阿扎皮吉教授对酶的应用持怀疑态度。故选B。

阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
A man in black clothes jumps high into the air. Before he lands, he strikes a pose. Sometimes, he carries a red fan. With long white sleeves(袖子), he spreads his arms like wings. His dance is eye-catching, often attracting crowds.
He is Chinese dancer Ma Jiaolong. Since 2020, he’s made short videos of himself dancing in London. He has performed at the city’s parks and iconic landmarks like Tower Bridge. The 35-year-old has nearly 5 million followers on Douyin, where he shares his videos.
Classical Chinese dance combines martial arts movements with those of traditional Chinese opera. He started to learn it at 12. “I was attracted by the dancers who play ancient heroes through the movements of classical Chinese dance,” said Ma.
Later, Ma studied at the Beijing Dance Academy. Since 2019, he has been teaching classical Chinese dance at Goldsmiths, University of London.
Two years ago, Ma had to give online classes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In his small home, he could only make small moves. One day, he took his wife’s suggestion and danced at Greenwich Park, a popular tourist spot. She recorded Ma. He then edited the video, added music and sent it to friends. “Surprisingly, they loved it, which inspired me to share it online,” said Ma.
Later, Ma made more short videos. He combines his dance moves with dazzling action. People are often curious about his performances. So, while dancing, he likes to interact with them. As his videos went viral, he received messages from people around the world.
“Now, making and sharing short videos has become a part of my life, and, most importantly, a great way to introduce classical Chinese dance to more people, especially overseas viewers,” said Ma.
56.Where does Ma Jiaolong usually make videos? (No more than 8 words)
57.Who inspired Ma Jiaolong to learn dancing? (No more than 9 words)
58.How do people feel about Ma’s performances? (No more than 1 word)
59.What does the underlined phrases “went viral” mean? (No more than 3 words)
60.What do you think of Mr. Ma as an internet celebrity? Please give your reasons. (No more than 20words)
【答案】56.In London’s parks and iconic landmarks. 57.Dancers playing ancient heroes through classical Chinese dance. 58.Curious. 59.Became popular. 60.Excellent—he promotes classical Chinese dance overseas via short videos.
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了中国舞者马蛟龙自 2020 年起在伦敦公园及地标处拍摄古典中国舞短视频,获大量关注,其此举旨在向海外推广这一舞蹈艺术。
56.考查细节理解。根据第二段中“Since 2020, he’s made short videos of himself dancing in London. He has performed at the city’s parks and iconic landmarks like Tower Bridge.( 自2020年以来,他制作了自己在伦敦跳舞的短视频。他曾在伦敦的公园和伦敦塔桥等标志性建筑演出。)”可知,马蛟龙通常在伦敦的公园和标志性的地标拍视频。故答案是:In London’s parks and iconic landmarks.
57.考查细节理解。根据第三段中““I was attracted by the dancers who play ancient heroes through the movements of classical Chinese dance,” said Ma.( 马蛟龙:“我被那些通过中国古典舞动作扮演古代英雄的舞者所吸引。”)”可知,舞者扮演的古代英雄启发马蛟龙学习舞蹈的。故答案是:Dancers playing ancient heroes through classical Chinese dance.
58.考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中“People are often curious about his performances.( 们经常对他的表演感到好奇。)”可知,人们对马蛟龙的表演感到好奇。故答案是:Curious.
59.考查词句猜测。根据划线短语中“…he received messages from people around the world.( 他收到了来自世界各地人们的信息。)”可知,“收到全球网友消息”暗示视频“走红”,“went viral”意为“迅速传播、走红”,同义替换为“Became popular”意为“变得受欢迎起来”。故答案是:Became popular.
60.考查主观评价。根据文章大意以及最后一段““Now, making and sharing short videos has become a part of my life, and, most importantly, a great way to introduce classical Chinese dance to more people, especially overseas viewers,” said Ma.( “现在,制作和分享短视频已经成为我生活的一部分,最重要的是,这是向更多人,尤其是海外观众介绍中国古典舞的好方法,” 马蛟龙说。)”可知,我认为马蛟龙很优秀,因为他通过短视频向海外推广中国古典舞。故答案是:Excellent—he promotes classical Chinese dance overseas via short videos.

阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从16-35各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Life was easy for my family 15 years ago. My mum, now 51, had 16 her modelling career to start a family while my dad was the only breadwinner. Our family was 17 , with mum, dad, two daughters, and three sons, including me.
Life took a 18 turn one day. My dad had suddenly passed away for some unknown 19 on a business trip to Jakarta. At first we were not 20
for life without him. Our mum, jobless and 21 managed to look after a six-month-old baby and four crying children through 22 and love.
When my father was alive, my mum lived a 23 life: she had two maids looking after her as a stay-at-home mum. After my father’s death, she selflessly accepted a total lifestyle 24 , so our lives would not be different completely. She 25 different jobs, working tirelessly from home, sewing curtains and baking cakes. As we got older, she worked even harder to 26 our education. She began to work in her canteen from 6 am and 27 home to monitor our homework.

How to Apply for Scholarships
Unlike most financial aid, scholarships allow you to earn money for college without the worry of needing to pay it back. Here is some advice on how to apply for and potentially win a scholarship!
Finding Scholarships that Fit Your Needs. Scholarships are often offered to specific groups of people, and your background can open up scholarship opportunities.
★ If looking for scholarships in the US, you can start by searching the U.S. Department of Labor’s scholarship search.
★ If you come from a military family, look on the Federal Student Aid website for information on scholarships available to you.
★ If you know what colleges you plan to apply to or are already admitted into a certain college, look for merit scholarships(优秀奖学金) offered by these specific schools. You can find this information on their website or through the financial aid office.
★ Some colleges and private organizations offer service-based scholarships. If you have been particularly engaged in serving one specific cause, see if there are scholarships which specifically offer money to students who have served that cause.
Writing Scholarship Essays. Do some research on the organization offering the scholarship and write down what they care about in one sentence. This will help you better understand your audience and consider ways to tailor your application to their expectations. For example, let’s say the organization wants to invest in future leaders. In your essay, you should include stories that demonstrate your abilities as a leader (in big or small settings). Please note: the last thing a scholarship committee wants to read is an essay lacking real personal information or flavor. Write in a voice that is true to who you are. Tell stories to illustrate your points but never lie about your experiences. Most importantly, don’t be disqualified for silly reasons like word limits, spell check and deadlines.
Finding the right recommenders. Choose a teacher, coach, or employer who knows you well. Academic references should come from teachers and school administrators, while character references can come from employers, coaches or unrelated adults who you interact with regularly. Avoid relatives and friends. Sponsors naturally assume that their opinions are not objective and may not take them seriously as a result.
36.Compared with other financial aid, what’s the advantage of scholarships?
A.It needn’t be paid back.
B.It is easier to apply for.
C.It can satisfy all your needs.
D.It offers a larger sum of money.
37.If you’ve already been admitted into a university, which scholarship best suits you?
A.Department of Labor’s scholarships. B.Merit scholarships.
C.Federal Student Aid scholarships. D.Service-based scholarships
38.What should be avoided in writing scholarship essays?
A.Doing some research beforehand.
B.Offering supporting evidence.
C.Adding some fictional stories.
D.Keeping the deadline in mind.
39.Who is not qualified for being a recommender?
A.Your uncle. B.Your employer. C.Your colleague. D.Your teacher.
40.From which is the text probably taken?
A.A textbook. B.A travel brochure
C.A science magazine. D.An official website of a university.

Even then my only friends were made of paper and ink. At school I had learned to read and write long before the other children. Where my school friends saw ink on pages, I saw light, streets and people. Words and the mystery of their hidden science fascinated me, and I saw in them a key with which I could unlock a new world. My father didn’t like to see books in the house. There was something about them that offended him. He used to tell me that I’d better get rid of all my crazy ideas if I didn’t want to end up a nobody. I used to hide my books under the mattress (垫子) and wait for him to fall asleep so that I could read. Once he caught me reading at night and flew into a rage (愤怒). He tore the book from my hands and flung (扔、掷) it out of the window.
“If I catch you wasting electricity again, reading all this nonsense, you’ll be sorry.”
My father was not a miser (吝啬鬼) and, despite the hardship we suffered, whenever he could he gave me a few coins so that I could buy myself some treats like the other children. He was convinced that I spent them on sweets, but I would keep them in a coffee tin under the bed, and when I’d collected enough coins I’d secretly rush out to buy myself a book.
My favorite place in the whole city was the Sempere & Sons Bookshop on Calle Sant Ana. The bookseller would let me sit on a chair in a corner and read any book I liked to my heart’s content. When it was time for me to leave, I would do so dragging my feet, a weight on my soul. If it had been up to me, I would have stayed there forever.
One Christmas Sempere gave me that best gift I had ever received. “Great expectations, by Charles Dickens,” I read on the cover. I was aware that Sempere knew a few authors who frequented his establishment (企业) and, judging by the care with which he handled the volume, I thought perhaps this Mr. Dickens was one of them.
“A friend of yours?”, I asked.
“A lifelong friend. And from now on, he’s your friend too.” Sempere answered.
That afternoon I took my new friend home. It was a rainy winter, with days as gray as lead, and I read Great Expectations about nine times, partly because I had no other book at hand, partly because I did not think there could be a better one in the whole world and I was beginning to suspect that Mr. Dickens had written it just for me. Soon I was convinced that I didn’t want to do anything else in life but learn to do what Mr. Dickens had done.

The debate surrounding the ideal approach to education has been ongoing for many years. One suggestion that often arises is the inclusion of unpaid community service as a compulsory component of high school programs. In reality, a significant number of students, including those in college, already engage in charitable work, community service, and internships (实习) prior to graduation. Personally, I am totally in favor of it.
Participating in volunteer activities offers students numerous benefits, particularly in terms of improved social relationships. Engaging in these services provides graduating students with valuable experiences that help prepare them for the challenges they will encounter in society at a young age. Charities may teach students how to help the needy and spread warmth without the form of money. Activities such as helping neighbors or mentoring younger pupils are practical ways to enhance social acceptability, as they encourage greater communication and interaction with others. Additionally, involvement in these programs encourages students to make more meaningful use of their time, promoting outdoor activities that contribute to their overall well-being. Rather than spending excessive time at home playing video games or chatting online, students can dedicate their time to helping others.
Moreover, unpaid school programs can address various issues commonly faced by young individuals. A previous study conducted in the United States revealed a significant reduction in the juvenile (未成年的) crime rate, specifically from 11.6% to 6.3% around the year 2015. Fear, anxiety, and loneliness are prevalent among youths who may feel rejected by society. However, successful completion of community service teaches a sense of accomplishment, promoting communication skills and developing self-confidence. These aspects play a crucial role in transforming young individuals into responsible and productive members of society.
Overall, unpaid programs for school students are the key parts to shape students’ worldviews before they step into society. It is a challenging decision for the government, but it is undeniably a win-win situation for both students and communities. By actively participating in unpaid community service, students acquire essential life skills, enhance their social connections, contribute to the improvement of society, and lay a strong foundation for their personal and professional growth. It is an approach that holds enormous potential and should be given serious consideration in the field of education.
46.What is the topic of the ongoing debate mentioned in the passage?
A.The importance of extracurricular activities in education.
B.The inclusion of unpaid community service in high school.
C.The existing involvement of students in internships.
D.The effectiveness of college internships.
47.Participating in volunteer activities help graduating students with ________.
A.acquiring job opportunities
B.improving their financial status
C.enhancing their physical fitness
D.preparing for challenges in society
48.What effect did unpaid community work have on students, according to a previous study?
A.It lowered the juvenile crime rate.
B.It placed financial burdens on students.
C.It improved students’ study performance.
D.It promoted excessive video game playing.
49.What message does the last paragraph convey?
A.The importance of unpaid community services in shaping students’ worldviews.
B.The advantages and disadvantages of unpaid community services.
C.The challenges in carrying out unpaid community services.
D.The potential of unpaid community services in education.
50.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A.To persuade readers to participate in unpaid community services.
B.To illustrate the education system with unpaid community services.
C.To explain the benefits of unpaid community services to the readers.
D.To share the author’ personal experience with unpaid community services.
D
Scientists have created by accident an enzyme (酶) that breaks down plastic drinks bottles. The breakthrough could help solve the global plastic pollution crisis by enabling for the first time the full recycling of bottles.
The new research was prompted by the discovery in 2016 of the first bacterium that had naturally evolved to eat plastic at a waste dump in Japan. Scientists have now revealed the detailed structure of the crucial enzyme produced by the bug.
An international team then adjusted the enzyme to see how it had evolved, but tests showed they had accidentally made the molecule even better at breaking down the plastic used for drinks bottles. “What actually turned out was we improved the enzyme, which was a bit of a shock,” said head researcher Prof. McGeehan, at the University of Portsmouth, UK.
Currently, the enzyme takes a few days to start breaking down the plastic, far faster than the centuries it takes in the oceans, but the researchers are optimistic this can be speeded up even further and become a practical large-scale process.
“What we are hoping to do is use this enzyme to turn this plastic back into its original components, so we can literally recycle it back to plastic,” said McGeehan. “It means we won’t need to dig up any more oil and, fundamentally, it should reduce the amount of plastic in the environment.”
About 1 million plastic bottles are sold each minute around the globe and, with just 14% recycled, many end up in the oceans where they have polluted even the remote parts, harming marine life and potentially people who eat seafood. “Plastic is incredibly resistant to decomposition,” one of these wonder materials that has been made a little bit too well.
Currently those bottles that are recycled can only be turned into not transparent fibres for clothing or carpets, while the new enzyme indicates a way to recycle old clear plastic bottles back into new clear plastic bottles.
“You are always up against the fact oil is cheap, so plastic is cheap,” said McGeehan. “It is so easy for manufacturers to generate more of that stuff, rather than even try to recycle, but I believe there is a public interest here: attitude is changing so much that companies are starting to look at how they can properly recycle these bottles.”
Prof. Adisa Azapagic, at the University of Manchester in the UK, agreed the enzyme could be useful but added: “A full life-cycle assessment would be needed to ensure that the technology does not solve one environmental problem — waste — at the expense of others, including additional greenhouse gas emissions.”
51.What do we learn from the passage about an enzyme scientists have created?
A.It was identified during a lab experiment accident.
B.It may make full recycling of plastic bottles a reality.
C.It was a breakthrough made with persistent efforts.
D.It may motivate a dramatic reform in plastic industry.
52.What does the passage say about the bug that produces the important enzyme?
A.It has a natural ability to consume plastics.
B.It is a bacterium that reproduces at a high rate.
C.It is essential to the recycling of plastic bottles.
D.It has a chemical structure unknown to scientists.
53.By adjusting the enzyme produced by the bug, the scientists ________.
A.made it more effective by chance
B.altered its basic molecular composition
C.discovered an extraordinary chemical
D.found its evolutionary process sped up
54.What does Prof. McGeehan say about the recycling of plastic bottles?
A.Manufacturers are implementing it on an increasingly larger scale.
B.It generates huge business opportunities for plastic manufacturers.
C.It has aroused persistent interest among the general public.
D.Manufacturers are beginning to explore ways of doing it.
55.What is Prof. Adisa Azapagic’s attitude towards the application of the enzyme?
A.Supportive. B.Skeptical. C.Indifferent. D.Enthusiastic.

A man in black clothes jumps high into the air. Before he lands, he strikes a pose. Sometimes, he carries a red fan. With long white sleeves(袖子), he spreads his arms like wings. His dance is eye-catching, often attracting crowds.
He is Chinese dancer Ma Jiaolong. Since 2020, he’s made short videos of himself dancing in London. He has performed at the city’s parks and iconic landmarks like Tower Bridge. The 35-year-old has nearly 5 million followers on Douyin, where he shares his videos.
Classical Chinese dance combines martial arts movements with those of traditional Chinese opera. He started to learn it at 12. “I was attracted by the dancers who play ancient heroes through the movements of classical Chinese dance,” said Ma.
Later, Ma studied at the Beijing Dance Academy. Since 2019, he has been teaching classical Chinese dance at Goldsmiths, University of London.
Two years ago, Ma had to give online classes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In his small home, he could only make small moves. One day, he took his wife’s suggestion and danced at Greenwich Park, a popular tourist spot. She recorded Ma. He then edited the video, added music and sent it to friends. “Surprisingly, they loved it, which inspired me to share it online,” said Ma.
Later, Ma made more short videos. He combines his dance moves with dazzling action. People are often curious about his performances. So, while dancing, he likes to interact with them. As his videos went viral, he received messages from people around the world.
“Now, making and sharing short videos has become a part of my life, and, most importantly, a great way to introduce classical Chinese dance to more people, especially overseas viewers,” said Ma.
56.Where does Ma Jiaolong usually make videos? (No more than 8 words)
57.Who inspired Ma Jiaolong to learn dancing? (No more than 9 words)

Life was easy for my family 15 years ago. My mum, now 51, had 16 her modelling career to start a family while my dad was the only breadwinner. Our family was 17 , with mum, dad, two daughters, and three sons, including me.

How to Apply for Scholarships
Unlike most financial aid, scholarships allow you to earn money for college without the worry of needing to pay it back. Here is some advice on how to apply for and potentially win a scholarship!
Finding Scholarships that Fit Your Needs. Scholarships are often offered to specific groups of people, and your background can open up scholarship opportunities.
★ If looking for scholarships in the US, you can start by searching the U.S. Department of Labor’s scholarship search.
★ If you come from a military family, look on the Federal Student Aid website for information on scholarships available to you.
★ If you know what colleges you plan to apply to or are already admitted into a certain college, look for merit scholarships(优秀奖学金) offered by these specific schools. You can find this information on their website or through the financial aid office.
★ Some colleges and private organizations offer service-based scholarships. If you have been particularly engaged in serving one specific cause, see if there are scholarships which specifically offer money to students who have served that cause.
Writing Scholarship Essays. Do some research on the organization offering the scholarship and write down what they care about in one sentence. This will help you better understand your audience and consider ways to tailor your application to their expectations. For example, let’s say the organization wants to invest in future leaders. In your essay, you should include stories that demonstrate your abilities as a leader (in big or small settings). Please note: the last thing a scholarship committee wants to read is an essay lacking real personal information or flavor. Write in a voice that is true to who you are. Tell stories to illustrate your points but never lie about your experiences. Most importantly, don’t be disqualified for silly reasons like word limits, spell check and deadlines.
Finding the right recommenders. Choose a teacher, coach, or employer who knows you well. Academic references should come from teachers and school administrators, while character references can come from employers, coaches or unrelated adults who you interact with regularly. Avoid relatives and friends. Sponsors naturally assume that their opinions are not objective and may not take them seriously as a result.

Even then my only friends were made of paper and ink. At school I had learned to read and write long before the other children. Where my school friends saw ink on pages, I saw light, streets and people. Words and the mystery of their hidden science fascinated me, and I saw in them a key with which I could unlock a new world. My father didn’t like to see books in the house. There was something about them that offended him. He used to tell me that I’d better get rid of all my crazy ideas if I didn’t want to end up a nobody. I used to hide my books under the mattress (垫子) and wait for him to fall asleep so that I could read. Once he caught me reading at night and flew into a rage (愤怒). He tore the book from my hands and flung (扔、掷) it out of the window.
“If I catch you wasting electricity again, reading all this nonsense, you’ll be sorry.”
My father was not a miser (吝啬鬼) and, despite the hardship we suffered, whenever he could he gave me a few coins so that I could buy myself some treats like the other children. He was convinced that I spent them on sweets, but I would keep them in a coffee tin under the bed, and when I’d collected enough coins I’d secretly rush out to buy myself a book.
My favorite place in the whole city was the Sempere & Sons Bookshop on Calle Sant Ana. The bookseller would let me sit on a chair in a corner and read any book I liked to my heart’s content. When it was time for me to leave, I would do so dragging my feet, a weight on my soul. If it had been up to me, I would have stayed there forever.
One Christmas Sempere gave me that best gift I had ever received. “Great expectations, by Charles Dickens,” I read on the cover. I was aware that Sempere knew a few authors who frequented his establishment (企业) and, judging by the care with which he handled the volume, I thought perhaps this Mr. Dickens was one of them.
“A friend of yours?”, I asked.
“A lifelong friend. And from now on, he’s your friend too.” Sempere answered.
That afternoon I took my new friend home. It was a rainy winter, with days as gray as lead, and I read Great Expectations about nine times, partly because I had no other book at hand, partly because I did not think there could be a better one in the whole world and I was beginning to suspect that Mr. Dickens had written it just for me. Soon I was convinced that I didn’t want to do anything else in life but learn to do what Mr. Dickens had done.

The debate surrounding the ideal approach to education has been ongoing for many years. One suggestion that often arises is the inclusion of unpaid community service as a compulsory component of high school programs. In reality, a significant number of students, including those in college, already engage in charitable work, community service, and internships (实习) prior to graduation. Personally, I am totally in favor of it.
Participating in volunteer activities offers students numerous benefits, particularly in terms of improved social relationships. Engaging in these services provides graduating students with valuable experiences that help prepare them for the challenges they will encounter in society at a young age. Charities may teach students how to help the needy and spread warmth without the form of money. Activities such as helping neighbors or mentoring younger pupils are practical ways to enhance social acceptability, as they encourage greater communication and interaction with others. Additionally, involvement in these programs encourages students to make more meaningful use of their time, promoting outdoor activities that contribute to their overall well-being. Rather than spending excessive time at home playing video games or chatting online, students can dedicate their time to helping others.
Moreover, unpaid school programs can address various issues commonly faced by young individuals. A previous study conducted in the United States revealed a significant reduction in the juvenile (未成年的) crime rate, specifically from 11.6% to 6.3% around the year 2015. Fear, anxiety, and loneliness are prevalent among youths who may feel rejected by society. However, successful completion of community service teaches a sense of accomplishment, promoting communication skills and developing self-confidence. These aspects play a crucial role in transforming young individuals into responsible and productive members of society.
Overall, unpaid programs for school students are the key parts to shape students’ worldviews before they step into society. It is a challenging decision for the government, but it is undeniably a win-win situation for both students and communities. By actively participating in unpaid community service, students acquire essential life skills, enhance their social connections, contribute to the improvement of society, and lay a strong foundation for their personal and professional growth. It is an approach that holds enormous potential and should be given serious consideration in the field of education.

Scientists have created by accident an enzyme (酶) that breaks down plastic drinks bottles. The breakthrough could help solve the global plastic pollution crisis by enabling for the first time the full recycling of bottles.
The new research was prompted by the discovery in 2016 of the first bacterium that had naturally evolved to eat plastic at a waste dump in Japan. Scientists have now revealed the detailed structure of the crucial enzyme produced by the bug.
An international team then adjusted the enzyme to see how it had evolved, but tests showed they had accidentally made the molecule even better at breaking down the plastic used for drinks bottles. “What actually turned out was we improved the enzyme, which was a bit of a shock,” said head researcher Prof. McGeehan, at the University of Portsmouth, UK.
Currently, the enzyme takes a few days to start breaking down the plastic, far faster than the centuries it takes in the oceans, but the researchers are optimistic this can be speeded up even further and become a practical large-scale process.
“What we are hoping to do is use this enzyme to turn this plastic back into its original components, so we can literally recycle it back to plastic,” said McGeehan. “It means we won’t need to dig up any more oil and, fundamentally, it should reduce the amount of plastic in the environment.”
About 1 million plastic bottles are sold each minute around the globe and, with just 14% recycled, many end up in the oceans where they have polluted even the remote parts, harming marine life and potentially people who eat seafood. “Plastic is incredibly resistant to decomposition,” one of these wonder materials that has been made a little bit too well.
Currently those bottles that are recycled can only be turned into not transparent fibres for clothing or carpets, while the new enzyme indicates a way to recycle old clear plastic bottles back into new clear plastic bottles.
“You are always up against the fact oil is cheap, so plastic is cheap,” said McGeehan. “It is so easy for manufacturers to generate more of that stuff, rather than even try to recycle, but I believe there is a public interest here: attitude is changing so much that companies are starting to look at how they can properly recycle these bottles.”
Prof. Adisa Azapagic, at the University of Manchester in the UK, agreed the enzyme could be useful but added: “A full life-cycle assessment would be needed to ensure that the technology does not solve one environmental problem — waste — at the expense of others, including additional greenhouse gas emissions.”
51.What do we learn from the passage about an enzyme scientists have created?
A.It was identified during a lab experiment accident.
B.It may make full recycling of plastic bottles a reality.
C.It was a breakthrough made with persistent efforts.
D.It may motivate a dramatic reform in plastic industry.
52.What does the passage say about the bug that produces the important enzyme?
A.It has a natural ability to consume plastics.
B.It is a bacterium that reproduces at a high rate.
C.It is essential to the recycling of plastic bottles.
D.It has a chemical structure unknown to scientists.
53.By adjusting the enzyme produced by the bug, the scientists ________.
A.made it more effective by chance
B.altered its basic molecular composition
C.discovered an extraordinary chemical
D.found its evolutionary process sped up
54.What does Prof. McGeehan say about the recycling of plastic bottles?
A.Manufacturers are implementing it on an increasingly larger scale.
B.It generates huge business opportunities for plastic manufacturers.
C.It has aroused persistent interest among the general public.
D.Manufacturers are beginning to explore ways of doing it.
55.What is Prof. Adisa Azapagic’s attitude towards the application of the enzyme?
A.Supportive. B.Skeptical. C.Indifferent. D.Enthusiastic.

A man in black clothes jumps high into the air. Before he lands, he strikes a pose. Sometimes, he carries a red fan. With long white sleeves(袖子), he spreads his arms like wings. His dance is eye-catching, often attracting crowds.
He is Chinese dancer Ma Jiaolong. Since 2020, he’s made short videos of himself dancing in London. He has performed at the city’s parks and iconic landmarks like Tower Bridge. The 35-year-old has nearly 5 million followers on Douyin, where he shares his videos.
Classical Chinese dance combines martial arts movements with those of traditional Chinese opera. He started to learn it at 12. “I was attracted by the dancers who play ancient heroes through the movements of classical Chinese dance,” said Ma.
Later, Ma studied at the Beijing Dance Academy. Since 2019, he has been teaching classical Chinese dance at Goldsmiths, University of London.
Two years ago, Ma had to give online classes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In his small home, he could only make small moves. One day, he took his wife’s suggestion and danced at Greenwich Park, a popular tourist spot. She recorded Ma. He then edited the video, added music and sent it to friends. “Surprisingly, they loved it, which inspired me to share it online,” said Ma.
Later, Ma made more short videos. He combines his dance moves with dazzling action. People are often curious about his performances. So, while dancing, he likes to interact with them. As his videos went viral, he received messages from people around the world.
“Now, making and sharing short videos has become a part of my life, and, most importantly, a great way to introduce classical Chinese dance to more people, especially overseas viewers,” said Ma.
