When Jennifer Doudna was in sixth grade, she came home one day to find that her dad had left a book titled The Double Helix on her bed. She put it aside, thinking it was one of those detective tales she loved.
On a rainy Saturday, she picked up the book. As she sped through the pages, she became fascinated by the drama, which encouraged her to explore nature's wonders. Even though her high school teacher told her that girls didn't become scientists, she decided she would.
She worked with a biologist, Charpentier, to turn a curiosity of nature into an invention—an easy-to-use tool that can edit DNA. Known as Crispr, the tool will transform the human race. James Watson, the author of The Double Helix, later told her it was the most important biological advance: since he and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA.
For this achievement, Doudna and Charpentier were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020. Until now, only five women, beginning with Marie Curie in 1911, had won or shared the Nobel for Chemistry out of 184 award winners. When this year's prize was announced, Dr. Charpentier said it would provide a message specifically to young girls who would like to follow the path of science and to show them that women can also be awarded prizes.
A few decades from now, if it becomes possible and sate to edit DNA, should we allow parents to improve the IQ and physical strength of their kids Should we let them decide eye color Skin color Height After helping to discover Crispr, Dr. Doudna has become a leader in considering these moral issues. That's the main message we should take from this Nobel: New technologies can be a huge benefit to the human race, but in order to make sure they are used wisely, it's important for people to understand them.
24. Jennifer Doudna decided to become a scientist because,__________
A. her father pushed her B. a book inspired her
C. her teacher encouraged her D. James Watson motivated her
25. Dr. Doudna was awarded the Nobel Prize because,__________.
A. she wrote the book “The Double Helix" B. she discovered the structure of DNA
C. she is a hardworking woman scientist D. she helped invent a tool for editing DNA
26. According to passage, which of the following is NOT true
A. The two women's success will inspire more girls to be devoted to science.
B. Since 1911, there have been 184 people who won the Nobel for chemistry.
C. If girls follow the path of science, they will surely achieve their goals.
D. Crispr will make a big difference to the human race.
27. Which words can best describe Jennifer Doudna
A. Determined and responsible. B. Ambitious and humorous.
C. Cruel and indifferent. D. Fearless and stubborn.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. A
【解析】

Coca-Cola, which reportedly produced more than 3 million tons of plastic packaging in 2017, announced Thursday it wants to “help fix the world’s plastic waste problem one community (社区) at a time.”
The soda giant is doing so by providing $ 5.4 million for recycling programs in cities like Atlanta, Boston, Denver and Houston. In these cities, partners, like The Green Blue Institute and The Recycling Partnership, which receive the money, will work together to improve recycling rates.
“We focus on areas where we have the ability to make the biggest influence on communities through the funding and expert skills of Coca-Cola employees,” Carlos Pagoagoa, Coca-Cola’s group director of community partnerships, said in a statement. “In each city, local partners will work together to identify barriers to recycling on a local level and test a range of solutions,” he added. “We hope the learnings from these ‘model markets’ can offer solutions to other cities facing similar challenges.”
As part of the effort, The Recycling Partnership and the city of Atlanta, where the cola company’s headquarters are based, will send street teams out to open recycling carts and leave citizens cards informing them what they can and can’t recycle, and let them know how their efforts work.
“Two of the most urgent problems with recycling in the U. S. today are lack of access, followed by pollution in recycling,” Keefe Harrison, CEO of The Recycling Partnership, said in a statement. “We know from the success of Atlanta in 2017 that the citizens want to recycle, and that communicating with them in the street works.”
Last year, Coca-Cola announced its task to collect and reuse a bottle or can for each one it sells, and increase the amount of its products out of recycled materials to 50% by 2030. The brand also aims to make all its packaging fully recyclable by 2025.
28. What does Coca-Cola company intend to do in the program
A. Produce less packaging.
B. Help deal with plastic waste.
C. Pick up waste in communities.
D. Build a plant to recycle plastic waste.
29. What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. How Coca-Cola conducts its program.
B. What organizations participate in the program.
C. How Coca-Cola chooses cities for the program.
D. What the local people do in Coca-Cola’s program.
30. What do street teams do to help
A. Sort out various waste in the city.
B. Look into the cause of pollution.
C. Instruct local people what to recycle.
D. Hand cards to the locals in person.
31. What does Keefe Harrison think of the program
A. Promising. B. Difficult. C. Pioneering. D. Costly.

D
When was the last time you listened to someone And when was the last time someone really listened to you I asked people what it meant to be a good listener. The typical response was a blank stare. People had no trouble, however, telling me what it meant to be a bad listener.
Of course, technology plays a role. Social media helps filter out opposing views. People find phone calls disturbing and ignore voice mail, preferring text or wordless emoji. But tech is not the only blame. High schools and colleges rarely, if ever, offer classes or activities that teach careful listening. Traffic noise on city streets and music playing in shops exceed the volume of normal conversation by as much as 30 decibels, and can even cause hearing loss.
So how can we reclaim the lost art of listening After years of studying and consulting, I discovered that listening goes beyond simply hearing what people say. It also involves paying attention to how they say it and what they do while they are saying it, in what context, and how what they say resonates within you. It’s not about merely holding your peace while someone holds forth. Quite the opposite. A lot of listening has to do with how you respond — the degree to which you assist in the clear expression of the other person’s thoughts and in the process, express your own.
Good listeners ask good questions. Good questions don’t begin with “Wouldn’t you agree. or “Don’t you think. . . ” and they definitely don’t end with “right ” The idea is to explore the other person’s point of view, not sway it. You also want to avoid asking people personal and evaluating questions. Instead, ask about people’s interests so that they feel more connected than if they spend time together accomplishing a task.
The reward of good listening will almost certainly be more interesting conversations. Attentive listeners receive more information, related details from the speakers, even when the listeners didn’t ask any questions. We are, each of us, the sum of what we attend to in life. And to listen poorly, selectively or not at all limits your understanding of the world and prevents you from becoming the best you can be.
32 Which is NOT mentioned as a factor that contributes to bad Listening
A. People prefer text message to phone calls.
B. Listening skills are not taught in school.
C. The noise around us drowns out our speech.
D. Our responses to others while listening is different.
33. Which of the following will the author most probably agree with
A. Good listeners should express themselves bravely.
B. Good listening promotes our understanding of the world.
C. Good listeners always receive reward from the speakers.
D. Good listening develops people’s interest in private life.
34. What does the underlined word “sway” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Influence. B. Stop. C. Prove. D. Complain.
35. What is the passage mainly talking about
A. Listening combines hearing understanding and responding.
B. Listening requires the listener to keep in total silence.
C. Listening isn’t just hearing but also predicting questions.
D. Listening is to put your thoughts into other person’s mouth.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了倾听的重要性以及如何做个好的倾听者。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“People find phone calls disturbing and ignore voice mail, preferring text or wordless emoji. But tech is not the only blame. High schools and colleges rarely, if ever, offer classes or activities that teach careful listening. Traffic noise on city streets and music playing in shops exceed the volume of normal conversation by as much as 30 decibels, and can even cause hearing loss.(人们觉得电话很烦人，所以忽略语音邮件，更喜欢文本或无文字的表情符号。但科技并不是唯一的罪魁祸首。高中和大学如果有也很少提供课程或活动，教学如何仔细倾听。城市街道上的交通噪音和商店里播放的音乐比正常谈话的音量高出30分贝，甚至会导致听力丧失)”可知，D选项“倾听时我们对他人的反应是不同的”不是导致糟糕倾听的一个因素。故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We are, each of us, the sum of what we attend to in life. And to listen poorly, selectively or not at all limits your understanding of the world and prevents you from becoming the best you can be.(我们每个人，都是我们在生活中所关注的事物的总和。不善于倾听、有选择性地倾听或完全不倾听会限制你对世界的理解，阻碍你成为最好的自己)”可推知，作者最可能同意好的倾听能促进我们对世界的了解。故选B。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“The idea is to explore the other person’s point of view, not”可知，这样做的目的是探索别人的观点，后文与前文表达相反含义。即不要影响他人，左右他人，故画线词意思是“影响”。A. Influence.影响；B. Stop.停止；C. Prove.证明；D. Complain.诉苦。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中“So how can we reclaim the lost art of listening After years of studying and consulting, I discovered that listening goes beyond simply hearing what people say. It also involves paying attention to how they say it and what they do while they are saying it, in what context, and how what they say resonates within you.

(那么，我们如何才能找回失去的倾听艺术呢？经过多年的研究和咨询，我发现倾听不仅仅是听人们说什么。它还包括注意他们如何说，他们说的时候做了什么，在什么背景下，以及他们说的话如何在你心中产生共鸣。这不仅仅是在别人滔滔不绝时保持沉默。恰恰相反。倾听很大程度上与你如何回应有关——你在多大程度上帮助他人清晰地表达自己的想法，并在这个过程中表达自己的想法)”结合文章主要介绍了倾听的重要性以及如何做个好的倾听者。可知，这篇文章主要讲的是倾听结合了听觉、理解和反应。故选A。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文，文章为那些还不太熟悉考试的人提供了一些如何准备考试的方法。
【36题详解】
根据文章第二段“There is no substitute for starting early with revision. You need to give yourself enough time to review everything you have studied, and make sure you understand it.”可知，没有替代品可以代替提早开始复习。你需要给自己足够的时间来复习你所学的一切，并确保你理解它。因此此段是在讲述要早点开始复习，所以D项：Last minute cramming is much less productive.（最后一分钟死记硬背的效率要低得多。）符合，表示不要等到最后一分钟，要提早复习，符合本段大意，故选D。
【37题详解】
根据第三段的标题“Organize your study time”可知，安排好你的学习时间。以及“You will also find that you have more to revise for some subjects than others. It is worth taking the time to plan your revision and consider how much time you might need for each subject.”可知，你也会发现有些科目的复习比其他科目要多。花点时间来计划你的复习，考虑一下你每门课可能需要多少时间。所以本段在讲安排学习时间，故F项：You will almost certainly find some subjects easier than others.（你几乎肯定会发现有些科目比其他科目容易。）正好顺承本段后半部分，符合题意，故选F。
【38题详解】
根据文章空前的“You will be able to work better if you eat a healthy diet, and get plenty of sleep. This applies both during your exam period, and when you are revising.”可知，如果你饮食健康，睡眠充足，你会工作得更好。这在考试期间和复习时都适用。再结合“It is also a good idea to take regular exercise when studying.”可知，学习时经常锻炼也是个好主意。因此可以推知需要一个过渡句，故C项：Surviving on junk food is not a good idea.（靠垃圾食品生存不是个好主意。）承上启下，故选C。
【39题详解】
此处为本段小标题，根据本段中的“Always doing the same thing, for example, reading over your notes on a subject, is likely to be quit dull. Spice up your revision period by trying different exercises and techniques.”可知，总是做同样的事情，例如，阅读你关于某个科目的笔记，很可能会非常枯燥。通过尝试不同的练习和技巧来增加复习时间。可知这是在讲可以尝试不同的练习和技巧，故A项：Vary your revision techniques（改变你的复习技巧）符合，与之呼应，故选 A。
【40题详解】
根据最后两段“Drawing mind maps or other summary diagrams to test what you can remember.Organizing a discussion group with some friends to consider a particular issue.”可知，绘制思维图或其他摘要图，以测试您可以记住的内容。以及“Organizing a discussion group with some friends to consider a particular issue.”与一些朋友组织一个讨论小组，讨论一个特定的问题。因此这是在讲测试，故G项：Doing practice papers and questions to test your understanding.（做练习文本和讨论问题来测试你的理解。）符合文意，故选G。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。中国最新的战争史诗《长津湖》的上演，在国庆长假里成为了中国票房的冠军。
【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意：中国最新的战争史诗《长津湖》在国庆长假开始的几天里迅速攀升至中国票房榜首。结合空白后 top of China’s box office，可知此处指中国票房的榜首，表示特指，所以用定冠词the。故填the。
【62题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：这部电影于周四上映，根据当地票务应用猫眼的数据，截止到当地时间周五下午6点，票房已经接近8200万美元，预计这部电影将以超过5亿美元的总票房收入结束。空白处在句中为谓语，结合句中on Thursday and had already earned approximately $82 million by 6 p.m. local time Friday可知，此处的时态用一般过去时；句子主语the film与动词release为动宾关系，所以release要用被动。故填was released。
【63题详解】
考查固定短语。句意同上。短语：a total of sth.“……的总数”，此处指这部电影将以超过5亿美元的总票房收入结束，结合句中提示，故填of。
【64题详解】
考查副词。句意：中国的国庆节假期时间跨度为10月1日至7日，是典型的中国一年中最大的票房窗口之一。空白处在句中作状语，所以此处要用副词。故填typically。
【65题详解】
考查形容词。句意：强大的开局几乎肯定了《长津湖》将成为本周末全球票房收入最大的一场，击败了米高梅备受期待的《时不我待》，后者预计将从全球50多个市场吸引8000万至1亿美元。《长津湖》将轻松突破1.5亿美元，这仅仅来自一个市场——中国。设空后为名词，所以此处要用形容词修饰名词。故填powerful。
【66题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。分析可知，__6____(beat) MGM’s much anticipated Bond installment No Time to Die在句中为状语，指电影《长津湖》的票房收入击败了《时不我待》的票房，表示客观的一个结果，所以用现在分词作状语。故填beating。
【67题详解】
考查定语从句。句意同上。分析可知，____7__is forecast to pull in $80 million to $100 million from more than 50 global _8___(market)为定语从句，空白处指代先行词No Time to Die，指物，空白处在句中作主语，所以要用关系代词which。故填which。
【68题详解】
考查名词复数。句意同上。market“市场”为可数名词，结合句中more than 50 global，指复数含义。故填markets。
【69题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这部由博纳电影集团和国家支持的电影公司上海电影集团和华夏电影公司制作的《长津湖》被认为是中国有史以来最昂贵的电影，制作预算超过2亿美元。分析可知，____9___(produce) by Bona Film Group and state-backed film companies Shanghai Film Group and Huaxia在句中为状语，句子主语The Battle at Lake Changjin与动词produce为动宾关系，所以此处要用过去分词。因处于句首，所以首字母要大写，故填Produced。
【70题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。固定句式：sth. is believed to be...，意为“某物被认为是……”，所以此处要用不定式。故填to be。
第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）
第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
71. 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，并在其下面写出该加的词。
删除：把多余的词用斜线( \ )划掉。
修改：在错词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。

2）只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。
Trying to come to a decision complete on your own can be risky. Some decisions are very important that they shouldn't be made without talking to others first. There have several advantages if you consult the persons you trust. For one thing, they can give you valuable advise and they may point out some 、things you may have been overlooked. For another, friends may stop you make big mistakes.
When consulting others about important decisions, you should keep two things of mind. The first one is that you need to find someone whom you respect enough to trust their judgment. The second thing to consider is how to do if you disagree with this person. Maybe turning to a third or fourth person for help is the best option. In word, making any big decision alone can lead to problems. Talking to friends or family members first are always a good idea.
【答案】1. complete → completely
2. very → so
3. have → are
4. advise → advice
5. 删掉have 后的been
6. make → making
7. of → in
8. how → what
9. In 后加a/one
10. are → is
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。一个人独自做决定是有一定风险的，有些决定只能在通过与别人讨论之后才能做出。当作决定咨询别人时要遵循两点：第一，听取你所尊重的，足以信赖的人的判断；第二，如果你与一个人的观点不同，就要讨论一下该怎样做。总之，一些重大决定能导致一定的问题，与家人或朋友讨论一下就可能会得到好的主意。
【详解】1. 考查副词。分析句子结构可知，此处应该用副词作状语，故将complete改为completely。
2. 考查连词。这里用副词so与后面的that构成"so…that…“如此……以至于……，故将very改为so。
3. 考查固定句式。分析句意为“这里有几个优点”，要用there be句型，be 的单复数形式与后面的名词的单复数形式保持一致，故将have改为are。
4. 考查名词。advice意为“建议”，是不可数名词，没有复数形式，所以这里用advice，故将advices改为advice。
5. 考查语态。句意：你所忽视的一些事情。you 与overlooked应当是主动关系，故去掉been。
6. 考查非谓语动词。介词from后面要用名词或动名词作宾语，故将make改为making。
7. 考查介词。句意：你应当记住两件事。此处考查固定短语keep in mind“记住”，故将of改为in。
8. 考查疑问词。分析句子结构可知do是及物动词，不定式前用what做动词do的宾语。故将how改为what。
9. 考查冠词。此处考查固定短语in a word“总之，简言之”，故word前面加a。
10. 考查主谓一致。动名词短语Talking to friends or family members作主语，谓语动词要用单数形式，故将are改为is。

When Jennifer Doudna was in sixth grade, she came home one day to find that her dad had left a book titled The Double Helix on her bed. She put it aside, thinking it was one of those detective tales she loved.
On a rainy Saturday, she picked up the book. As she sped through the pages, she became fascinated by the drama, which encouraged her to explore nature's wonders. Even though her high school teacher told her that girls didn't become scientists, she decided she would.
She worked with a biologist, Charpentier, to turn a curiosity of nature into an invention—an easy-to-use tool that can edit DNA. Known as Crispr, the tool will transform the human race. James Watson, the author of The Double Helix, later told her it was the most important biological advance: since he and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA.
For this achievement, Doudna and Charpentier were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020. Until now, only five women, beginning with Marie Curie in 1911, had won or shared the Nobel for Chemistry out of 184 award winners. When this year's prize was announced, Dr. Charpentier said it would provide a message specifically to young girls who would like to follow the path of science and to show them that women can also be awarded prizes.
A few decades from now, if it becomes possible and sate to edit DNA, should we allow parents to improve the IQ and physical strength of their kids Should we let them decide eye color Skin color Height After helping to discover Crispr, Dr. Doudna has become a leader in considering these moral issues. That's the main message we should take from this Nobel: New technologies can be a huge benefit to the human race, but in order to make sure they are used wisely, it's important for people to understand them.
24. Jennifer Doudna decided to become a scientist because,__________
A. her father pushed her B. a book inspired her
C. her teacher encouraged her D. James Watson motivated her
25. Dr. Doudna was awarded the Nobel Prize because,__________.
A. she wrote the book “The Double Helix" B. she discovered the structure of DNA
C. she is a hardworking woman scientist D. she helped invent a tool for editing DNA
26. According to passage, which of the following is NOT true
A. The two women's success will inspire more girls to be devoted to science.
B. Since 1911, there have been 184 people who won the Nobel for chemistry.
C. If girls follow the path of science, they will surely achieve their goals.
D. Crispr will make a big difference to the human race.
27. Which words can best describe Jennifer Doudna
A. Determined and responsible. B. Ambitious and humorous.
C. Cruel and indifferent. D. Fearless and stubborn.
C
Coca-Cola, which reportedly produced more than 3 million tons of plastic packaging in 2017, announced Thursday it wants to “help fix the world’s plastic waste problem one community (社区) at a time.”
The soda giant is doing so by providing $ 5.4 million for recycling programs in cities like Atlanta, Boston, Denver and Houston. In these cities, partners, like The Green Blue Institute and The Recycling Partnership, which receive the money, will work together to improve recycling rates.
“We focus on areas where we have the ability to make the biggest influence on communities through the funding and expert skills of Coca-Cola employees,” Carlos Pagoagoa, Coca-Cola’s group director of community partnerships, said in a statement. “In each city, local partners will work together to identify barriers to recycling on a local level and test a range of solutions,” he added. “We hope the learnings from these ‘model markets’ can offer solutions to other cities facing similar challenges.”
As part of the effort, The Recycling Partnership and the city of Atlanta, where the cola company’s headquarters are based, will send street teams out to open recycling carts and leave citizens cards informing them what they can and can’t recycle, and let them know how their efforts work.
“Two of the most urgent problems with recycling in the U. S. today are lack of access, followed by pollution in recycling,” Keefe Harrison, CEO of The Recycling Partnership, said in a statement. “We know from the success of Atlanta in 2017 that the citizens want to recycle, and that communicating with them in the street works.”
Last year, Coca-Cola announced its task to collect and reuse a bottle or can for each one it sells, and increase the amount of its products out of recycled materials to 50% by 2030. The brand also aims to make all its packaging fully recyclable by 2025.
28. What does Coca-Cola company intend to do in the program
A. Produce less packaging.
B. Help deal with plastic waste.
C. Pick up waste in communities.
D. Build a plant to recycle plastic waste.
29. What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. How Coca-Cola conducts its program.
B. What organizations participate in the program.
C. How Coca-Cola chooses cities for the program.
D. What the local people do in Coca-Cola’s program.
30. What do street teams do to help
A. Sort out various waste in the city.
B. Look into the cause of pollution.
C. Instruct local people what to recycle.
D. Hand cards to the locals in person.
31. What does Keefe Harrison think of the program
A. Promising. B. Difficult. C. Pioneering. D. Costly.
D
When was the last time you listened to someone And when was the last time someone really listened to you I asked people what it meant to be a good listener. The typical response was a blank stare. People had no trouble, however, telling me what it meant to be a bad listener.
Of course, technology plays a role. Social media helps filter out opposing views. People find phone calls disturbing and ignore voice mail, preferring text or wordless emoji. But tech is not the only blame. High schools and colleges rarely, if ever, offer classes or activities that teach careful listening. Traffic noise on city streets and music playing in shops exceed the volume of normal conversation by as much as 30 decibels, and can even cause hearing loss.
So how can we reclaim the lost art of listening After years of studying and consulting, I discovered that listening goes beyond simply hearing what people say. It also involves paying attention to how they say it and what they do while they are saying it, in what context, and how what they say resonates within you. It’s not about merely holding your peace while someone holds forth. Quite the opposite. A lot of listening has to do with how you respond — the degree to which you assist in the clear expression of the other person’s thoughts and in the process, express your own.
Good listeners ask good questions. Good questions don’t begin with “Wouldn’t you agree. or “Don’t you think. . . ” and they definitely don’t end with “right ” The idea is to explore the other person’s point of view, not sway it. You also want to avoid asking people personal and evaluating questions. Instead, ask about people’s interests so that they feel more connected than if they spend time together accomplishing a task.
The reward of good listening will almost certainly be more interesting conversations. Attentive listeners receive more information, related details from the speakers, even when the listeners didn’t ask any questions. We are, each of us, the sum of what we attend to in life. And to listen poorly, selectively or not at all limits your understanding of the world and prevents you from becoming the best you can be.
32. Which is NOT mentioned as a factor that contributes to bad Listening
A. People prefer text message to phone calls.
B. Listening skills are not taught in school.
C. The noise around us drowns out our speech.
D. Our responses to others while listening is different.
33. Which of the following will the author most probably agree with
A. Good listeners should express themselves bravely.
B. Good listening promotes our understanding of the world.
C. Good listeners always receive reward from the speakers.
D. Good listening develops people’s interest in private life.
34. What does the underlined word “sway” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Influence. B. Stop. C. Prove. D. Complain.
35. What is the passage mainly talking about
A. Listening combines hearing, understanding and responding.
B. Listening requires the listener to keep in total silence.
C. Listening isn’t just hearing but also predicting questions.
D. Listening is to put your thoughts into other person’s mouth.

Trying to come to a decision complete on your own can be risky. Some decisions are very important that they shouldn't be made without talking to others first. There have several advantages if you consult the persons you trust. For one thing, they can give you valuable advise and they may point out some 、things you may have been overlooked. For another, friends may stop you make big mistakes.
When consulting others about important decisions, you should keep two things of mind. The first one is that you need to find someone whom you respect enough to trust their judgment. The second thing to consider is how to do if you disagree with this person. Maybe turning to a third or fourth person for help is the best option. In word, making any big decision alone can lead to problems. Talking to friends or family members first are always a good idea.
