I still remember the days when I was a youthful student in an engineering school. I lived a casual life, without caring about the future. I smoked, drank with friends and made girlfriends. Little did I realized that casualness would certainly lead to loss.
Two years had passed and I was staring down a report card that highlighted FAIL in more than half the subjects. I didn't care, at least not till my dad found out about it. You see, I studied in India and unlike the United States where the students are expected to finance their own education, my dad financed me.
Then came the day when my dad found out my habit of smoking. He lost his temper but he just told me,“ son, your allowance is cut in half from this moment on.” It hit me like a roundhouse kick from Bruce Lee. I was jolted (震摇) out of my bones! I couldn't comprehend how to pay off the debts that I had accumulated in college. I owed everybody money: the grocery store, the bars, the restaurants, my friends, ect. I was living a life filled with credit.
When I came back to college, I knew if I didn’t change the way I live my life I wouldn't be able to pay everybody off. So I decided to make some changes, drastic changes. I quitted smoking, cut off from my friends who led me down the wrong road, starting hanging out in libraries and reading my engineering books.
One year later, I went from a miserable failure to a magna cum laude(优等成绩). Life was never the same again. This incident made me know that anything is possible if you take action and do something about it, however small or large. Even today it still motivates me when I feel that I'm about to lose or give up. It reminds me that I can do it!

Do you feel stressed? Research on the mental health condition of senior high school students from China, US, South Korea and Japan has recently been released. The research was carried out jointly by China Youth and Children Research Center, National Institution for Youth Education of Japan and National Youth Policy Institute of Korea.
The results showed that senior high students are at the lowest point of mental health level among all adolescent (青春期的) stages. Compared to students from the US, South Korea and Japan, Chinese students show a low level of emotional health, self evaluation and interpersonal support. Life habits (sleep, phone dependence, etc), stress and social support (parental, peer and teacher support) are important factors affecting the mental health of senior high students in China.
However, the confidence level of Chinese high school students is the highest among those of all four countries. For example, when it comes to statements like “I believe I can reach my goals”, over 80 percent of Chinese students chose “agree”. In spite of this, some Chinese students lack a sense of self-worth and willpower, leading to difficulties in forming their identity in the process of becoming adults.
Chen Yue, a mental counselor from a foreign languages school in Beijing, said that he has seen behavior in class that reflects the research results. “The reasons behind that can be linked to parents who may take too much control in junior high period and now feel kind of lost in their children’s transitional stage to adulthood,” Chen said. “Also, students tend to attach greater importance to interpersonal relationships in senior high and even link it to their self-evaluation.”
Chen also pointed out that students’ relationship with phones is delicate. “Many teachers and parents simply ban students from using phones without realizing that phones are more than a tool of entertainment, but rather a territory of personal space and connection to the social world,” said Chen, “therefore, an appropriate amount of freedom is crucial.”
Meanwhile, some students have their own way to deal with interpersonal relationships. Chen Yeliang, a 17-year-old senior high student, said that if she doesn’t get along with someone. she wouldn’t attribute (归因于) it to herself. “It just means that we are from different worlds and the time spent on each other is not worth it,” she said.
46. What did the research find about Chinese senior high students?
A. They are the most confident.
B. They have the most social support.
C. They have the most mental problems.
D. They have the highest level of self-evaluation.
47. How did researchers carry out the study?
A. By comparing respondents’ backgrounds.
B. By doing interviews and mental tests.
C. By conducting a questionnaire.
D. By studying the findings of previous research.
48. What is a reason behind Chinese students’ behavior in class according to Chen?
A. They value friends over parents. B. They want to behave like adults.
C. They desire their parents’ attention. D. They focus more on relationships.
49. What will Chen Yeliang do if she doesn’t get along with others?
A. Just let it be. B. Reflect on herself.
C. Communicate openly. D. Spend more time together.
50. What might be the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To show the reason for feeling stressed.
B. To get the young people know the result of feeling stressed.
C. To find out how senior high school students get along with others.
D. To show the research on the mental health condition of senior high school students.
D
Microplastics have become a common source of pollution across the Earth — they have settled in the deep sea and on the Himalayas, stuck inside volcanic rocks, filled the stomachs of seabirds and even fallen in fresh Antarctic snow. They are even appearing inside humans.
Now, new research suggests that a simple, cheap measure may significantly reduce the level of microplastics in water from your tap (水龙头): boiling and filtering (过滤) it. In a study published Wednesday in Environmental Science & Technology Letters, researchers from China found that boiling tap water for just five minutes — then filtering it after it cools — could remove at least 80 percent of its microplastics.
Crucially, this process relies on the water containing enough calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) to trap the plastics. In the study, boiling hard water containing 300 milligrams of calcium carbonate led to an almost 90 percent drop in microplastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of microplastics by just 25 percent. Additionally, the research didn’t include all types of plastics. The team focused only on three common types — polystyrene, polyethylene and polypropylene — and they didn’t study other chemicals previously found in water such as vinyl chloride.
Still, the findings show a potential path forward for reducing microplastic exposure — a task that’s becoming increasingly difficult. Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year, contains 10 to 1,000 times more microplastics than originally thought.
“The way they demonstrated how microplastics were trapped through the boiling process was nice,”Caroline Gauchotte Lindsay, an environmental engineer of the University of Glasgow in Scotland who was not involved in the research, tells New Scientist. “We should be looking into upgrading drinking water treatment plants so they remove microplastics.”
51. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A. By quoting an expert. B. By defining a concept.
C. By giving examples. D. By providing statistics.
52. What determines the effectiveness of trapping microplastics in water?
A. The hardness of water. B. The length of cooling time.
C. The frequency of filtering. D. The type of plastic in water.
53. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning bottled water in paragraph 4?
A. The importance of plastic recycling. B. The severity of the microplastic problem.
C. The danger in overusing pure water. D. The difficulty in treating polluted water.
54. What is Gauchotte-Lindsay’s suggestion about?
A. Choice of new research methods. B. Possible direction for further study.
C. Need to involve more researchers. D. Potential application of the findings.
55. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?
A. To advertise a new water filtering product.
B. To inform readers of a study on reducing microplastics in tap water.
C. To criticize the poor quality of both tap and bottled water.
D. To prove that boiling is the best way to purify drinking water.

Gary McKee ran 365 marathons in as many days to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support and Hospice at Home West Cumbria.
Gary McKee, 53, from Cleator Moor in Cumbria raised his arms in victory and was cheered by a crowd of supporters as he completed his 365th marathon of the year on New Year’s Eve. As of 4 pm on Saturday, he had raised more than £ 890,000 for the charities Macmillan Cancer Support and Hospice at Home West Cumbria, just shy of (缺少) his £1 million fundraising target. The father of three has gone through 22 pairs of sports shoes and has run 9,563 miles in rain, snow and sunshine to raise money for the charities.
“The support has been amazing and it always is and the West Cumbrians get behind us, but cancer affects everybody so it isn’t just a West Cumbrian thing, it’s a national thing,” said Gary. “I just hope that people do get behind us and we do raise those million pounds.” Gary has not only raised money for two fantastic charities, but he has also sprinkled magic on the local community and brought people together to support him with the challenge.
Chris Young, 29, ran 90 marathons with Mr. McKee. “Gary set a good example to me this year when I began running frequently with him and has given me both physical and mental resilience (适应力) that I don’t know if I would have ever discovered in myself in a million years. I know I don’t just speak for myself on that front as he has inspired not just me or the few, but the entire local community and beyond,” said Chris, “This challenge has raised a great amount of money for two fantastic charities, but the impact Gary has provided to the community and people around him is immeasurable. A lot of people’s lives will be much better off thanks to Gary’s efforts, mine included.”

B
I still remember the days when I was a youthful student in an engineering school. I lived a casual life, without caring about the future. I smoked, drank with friends and made girlfriends. Little did I realized that casualness would certainly lead to loss.
Two years had passed and I was staring down a report card that highlighted FAIL in more than half the subjects. I didn't care, at least not till my dad found out about it. You see, I studied in India and unlike the United States where the students are expected to finance their own education, my dad financed me.
Then came the day when my dad found out my habit of smoking. He lost his temper but he just told me,“ son, your allowance is cut in half from this moment on.” It hit me like a roundhouse kick from Bruce Lee. I was jolted (震摇) out of my bones! I couldn't comprehend how to pay off the debts that I had accumulated in college. I owed everybody money: the grocery store, the bars, the restaurants, my friends, ect. I was living a life filled with credit.
When I came back to college, I knew if I didn’t change the way I live my life I wouldn't be able to pay everybody off. So I decided to make some changes, drastic changes. I quitted smoking, cut off from my friends who led me down the wrong road, starting hanging out in libraries and reading my engineering books.
One year later, I went from a miserable failure to a magna cum laude(优等成绩). Life was never the same again. This incident made me know that anything is possible if you take action and do something about it, however small or large. Even today it still motivates me when I feel that I'm about to lose or give up. It reminds me that I can do it!

Do you feel stressed? Research on the mental health condition of senior high school students from China, US, South Korea and Japan has recently been released. The research was carried out jointly by China Youth and Children Research Center, National Institution for Youth Education of Japan and National Youth Policy Institute of Korea.
The results showed that senior high students are at the lowest point of mental health level among all adolescent (青春期) stages. Compared to students from the US, South Korea and Japan, Chinese students show a low level of emotional health, self evaluation and interpersonal support. Life habits (sleep, phone dependence, etc), stress and social support (parental, peer and teacher support) are important factors affecting the mental health of senior high students in China.
However, the confidence level of Chinese high school students is the highest among those of all four countries. For example, when it comes to statements like “I believe I can reach my goals”, over 80 percent of Chinese students chose “agree”. In spite of this, some Chinese students lack a sense of self-worth and willpower, leading to difficulties in forming their identity in the process of becoming adults.
Chen Yue, a mental counselor from a foreign languages school in Beijing, said that he has seen behavior in class that reflects the research results. “The reasons behind that can be linked to parents who may take too much control in junior high period and now feel kind of lost in their children’s transitional stage to adulthood,” Chen said. “Also, students tend to attach greater importance to interpersonal relationships in senior high and even link it to their self-evaluation.”
Chen also pointed out that students’ relationship with phones is delicate. “Many teachers and parents simply ban students from using phones without realizing that phones are more than a tool of entertainment, but rather a territory of personal space and connection to the social world,” said Chen, “therefore, an appropriate amount of freedom is crucial.”
Meanwhile, some students have their own way to deal with interpersonal relationships. Chen Yeliang, a 17-year-old senior high student, said that if she doesn’t get along with someone. she wouldn’t attribute (归因于) it to herself. “It just means that we are from different worlds and the time spent on each other is not worth it,” she said.
46. What did the research find about Chinese senior high students?
A. They are the most confident.
B. They have the most social support.
C. They have the most mental problems.
D. They have the highest level of self-evaluation.
47. How did researchers carry out the study?
A. By comparing respondents’ backgrounds.
B. By doing interviews and mental tests.
C. By conducting a questionnaire.
D. By studying the findings of previous research.
48. What is a reason behind Chinese students’ behavior in class according to Chen?
A. They value friends over parents. B. They want to behave like adults.
C. They desire their parents’ attention. D. They focus more on relationships.
49. What will Chen Yeliang do if she doesn’t get along with others?
A. Just let it be. B. Reflect on herself.
C. Communicate openly. D. Spend more time together.
50. What might be the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To show the reason for feeling stressed.

D
Microplastics have become a common source of pollution across the Earth — they have settled in the deep sea and on the Himalayas, stuck inside volcanic rocks, filled the stomachs of seabirds and even fallen in fresh Antarctic snow. They are even appearing inside humans.
Now, new research suggests that a simple, cheap measure may significantly reduce the level of microplastics in water from your tap (水龙头): boiling and filtering (过滤) it. In a study published Wednesday in Environmental Science & Technology Letters, researchers from China found that boiling tap water for just five minutes — then filtering it after it cools — could remove at least 80 percent of its microplastics.
Crucially, this process relies on the water containing enough calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) to trap the plastics. In the study, boiling hard water containing 300 milligrams of calcium carbonate led to an almost 90 percent drop in microplastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of microplastics by just 25 percent. Additionally, the research didn’t include all types of plastics. The team focused only on three common types — polystyrene, polyethylene and polypropylene — and they didn’t study other chemicals previously found in water such as vinyl chloride.
Still, the findings show a potential path forward for reducing microplastic exposure — a task that’s becoming increasingly difficult. Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year, contains 10 to 1,000 times more microplastics than originally thought.
“The way they demonstrated how microplastics were trapped through the boiling process was nice,”Caroline Gauchotte Lindsay, an environmental engineer of the University of Glasgow in Scotland who was not involved in the research, tells New Scientist. “We should be looking into upgrading drinking water treatment plants so they remove microplastics.”
51. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A. By quoting an expert. B. By defining a concept.
C. By giving examples. D. By providing statistics.
52. What determines the effectiveness of trapping microplastics in water?
A. The hardness of water. B. The length of cooling time.
C. The frequency of filtering. D. The type of plastic in water.
53. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning bottled water in paragraph 4?
A. The importance of plastic recycling. B. The severity of the microplastic problem.
C. The danger in overusing pure water. D. The difficulty in treating polluted water.
54. What is Gauchotte-Lindsay’s suggestion about?
A. Choice of new research methods. B. Possible direction for further study.
C. Need to involve more researchers. D. Potential application of the findings.
55. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?
A. To advertise a new water filtering product.
B. To inform readers of a study on reducing microplastics in tap water.
C. To criticize the poor quality of both tap and bottled water.
D. To prove that boiling is the best way to purify drinking water.
【答案】51. C 52. A 53. B 54. B 55. B
【解析】

They are even appearing inside humans.(微塑料已经成为地球上常见的污染源——它们沉积在深海和喜马拉雅山上,卡在火山岩中,填满了海鸟的胃,甚至落在了南极的新雪中。它们甚至出现在人体内)”可知,作者通过给出例子来呈现微塑料污染问题。故选C。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Crucially, this process relies on the water containing enough calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) to trap the plastics. In the study, boiling hard water containing 300 milligrams of calcium carbonate led to an almost 90 percent drop in microplastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of microplastics by just 25 percent.(至关重要的是,这一过程依赖于水中含有足够的碳酸钙来捕获塑料。在这项研究中,煮沸含有300毫克碳酸钙的硬水导致微塑料减少了近90%。但在碳酸钙含量低于60毫克的样本中,煮沸仅使微塑料水平降低了25%)”可知,水的硬度决定了捕获水中微塑料的效果。故选A。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Still, the findings show a potential path forward for reducing microplastic exposure — a task that’s becoming increasingly difficult. Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year, contains 10 to 1,000 times more microplastics than originally thought.(尽管如此,这些发现为减少微塑料暴露提供了一条潜在的前进道路——这项任务正变得越来越困难。科学家今年早些时候发现,即使是瓶装水,其中的微塑料含量也比最初想象的多10到1000倍)”可知,作者通过提到瓶装水试图说明微塑料问题的严重性。故选B。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Gauchotte-Lindsay的话“We should be looking into upgrading drinking water treatment plants so they remove microplastics.(我们应该考虑升级饮用水处理厂,以便它们去除微塑料)”可知,Gauchotte-Lindsay的建议是关于进一步研究的可能方向。故选B。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据第二段中“Now, new research suggests that a simple, cheap measure may significantly reduce the level of microplastics in water from your tap (水龙头): boiling and filtering (过滤) it.(现在,新的研究表明,一种简单、廉价的方法可能显著降低水龙头水中微塑料的含量:煮沸并过滤)”以及下文对这项研究的介绍可知,作者写这篇文章的主要目的是告知读者一项关于减少自来水中微塑料的研究。故选B。

Gary McKee ran 365 marathons in as many days to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support and Hospice at Home West Cumbria.
Gary McKee, 53, from Cleator Moor in Cumbria raised his arms in victory and was cheered by a crowd of supporters as he completed his 365th marathon of the year on New Year’s Eve. As of 4 pm on Saturday, he had raised more than £ 890,000 for the charities Macmillan Cancer Support and Hospice at Home West Cumbria, just shy of (缺少) his £1 million fundraising target. The father of three has gone through 22 pairs of sports shoes and has run 9,563 miles in rain, snow and sunshine to raise money for the charities.

Chris Young, 29, ran 90 marathons with Mr. McKee. “Gary set a good example to me this year when I began running frequently with him and has given me both physical and mental resilience (适应力) that I don’t know if I would have ever discovered in myself in a million years. I know I don’t just speak for myself on that front as he has inspired not just me or the few, but the entire local community and beyond,” said Chris, “This challenge has raised a great amount of money for two fantastic charities, but the impact Gary has provided to the community and people around him is immeasurable. A lot of people’s lives will be much better off thanks to Gary’s efforts, mine included.”
