Pamela Malhotra has always attached great importance to education. However, life always seemed to “get in the way” every time she tried to finish her bachelor's degree. The single mom was so devoted to working to support her two children that she repeatedly put her own education goals on hold, giving up her college program on two separate occasions over the years.
When he was just five years old, her son Bonifacio Malhotra noticed her struggling to get her degree, and he made a promise to help her. “I remember I just told my mom… one day, it's gonna be you and me,” Bonifacio said. “We're going to gain our degrees at the same time.” Those words proved to be predictable for the mom-and-son duo, who currently walked across the stage at the university to collect their bachelor's degrees together!
“That promise, he never allowed it to die,” said Pamela. “He continuously confirmed that we're gonna do this.” Their path to graduation wasn't easy, but Bonifacio stayed true to his promise and helped his mother along the way. The two hold two associate's degrees each, so in the fall of 2021 they registered together in bachelor-level online courses. They both found the classes challenging, but Bonifacio stepped up as the cheerleader his mother needed. “Mom, you've got to keep it going. I know you want to stop. We must keep going,” Bonifacio recalled. “The main thing was just trying to get everything lined up and stay on top of all the work.”
It took the Malhotras two years to finish their bachelor's degrees, hers in humanities and Bonifacio's in public safety administration. Pamela plans to stay at her job as a coordinator, and Bonifacio has accepted a job at university to help other students succeed in college, too.
Pamela said she was incredibly proud of her son's achievement, and she personally couldn't have reached her lifelong goal without the support of her family, especially him. “Between my son and my daughter, they were my greatest supporter,” Pamela proudly said.
24. Why Pamela Malhotra couldn't finish her bachelor's degree
A. Because she didn't work hard enough.
B. Because she was devoted to working to support her two children.
C. Because her husband did not allowed her to further study.
D. Because she couldn't find a proper major.
25. What do we know about the Malhotras
A. They took online courses at the same time.
B. Pamela thought the courses were more challenging.
C. Bonifacio majored in humanities at university.
D. Pamela now works as a university teacher.
26. Which of the following statements can best describe Bonifacio
A. He's the good man of the house. B. He's a man of all work.
C. He's a man among men. D. He's a man of his word.
27. What can be the best title of the passage
A. We Value the Time Being with Families B. Families Help Each Other
C. The Home Is Our Heaven D. Each Family Has Its Own Problems
C
How important has Internet become in our lives The Pew Research Center conducted a survey to celebrate the Web's 25th birthday. The researchers were greatly heartened by what they found.
“In 2006, only 14 percent of American adults used Internet. Today, it's 87 percent,” said Lee Rainie, the director of the Pew Research Center's Internet Project. “It is what has impressed us the most. "
The survey also showed that 70 percent of the Internet users have been treated kindly or generously online, while 25 percent of respondents said they have been treated unkindly. More than half—56 percent—f users said they've seen an online community come together to help someone solve a problem. 25 percent said they've left an online group because members were too unpleasant.
When Pew asked questions about whether being online has enriched people's relationships—or not—the results were very positive: 67 percent of Internet users said their online communication with family and friends has generally strengthened those relationships. Only 18 percent said it has generally weakened those relationships.
According to the survey, 53 percent of Internet users said Internet has become the hardest tech tool to give up. It is 15 percent higher than the result of a similar survey conducted in 2006. In fact, more people said they would have a harder time stopping using Internet than giving up TV. （These days, so much great television streams across the Internet that it makes sense. ）
“In our survey, we have found that the Web makes a few people very unhappy. There's strong evidence pointing to the fact that Internet users tend to compare their daily lives with the ‘highlight moments’ of their friends' lives,” said Lee Rainie. “It's really silly.”
28. Which is the most impressive result of the latest survey
A. Users' dependence on Internet. B. The fast growth of Internet users.
C. The kindness of online communities. D. The strengthened family relationships.
29. How many participants found it the hardest to give up Internet in 2006
A. 15%. B. 38%. C. 53%. D. 68%.
30. What message does Lee Rainie seem to convey in the last paragraph
A. Online depression cannot be avoided. B. Don't show off in online communities.
C. Don't make unnecessary comparison. D. Copy your friends' wonderful lifestyles.
31. How do the researchers feel about the results of the survey
A. Positive. B. Worried. C. Unconcerned. D. Doubtful.
D
Do you feel lonely The World Health Organization （WHO） recently addressed loneliness as a pressing health threat. It called for countries and organizations to make social connections a priority.
Loneliness is a state of mind marked by feelings of isolation （孤独） despite wanting social connections. So, people who are lonely usually experience the emotional pain of not being connected with others. Solitude （独处）, on the other hand, is voluntary. People who enjoy spending time by themselves continue to maintain positive social relationships that they can return to when they want connection.
Social isolation impacts the health and well-being of all age groups across the world. According to the WHO, one in four old people experience social isolation. Among adolescents, between 5 and 15 percent experience loneliness, but the numbers are likely to be underestimations, said the organization.
In terms of teenagers, social disconnection can lead to poorer education outcomes since young people who have experienced loneliness in high school are more likely to drop out of university.
Lack of social connection carries a risk of early death equivalent to other better-known risk factors such as smoking, obesity and air pollution, or potentially even greater. Loneliness has a far-reaching impact comparable to smoking up to 15cigarettes a day, according to a 2017 study.
Previous studies have shown that loneliness has been linked to anxiety and depression and can increase the risk of heart disease by 30 percent. A 2015 study looked at the immune systems of its participants who were identified as lonely. It showed that they tend to have more inflammation（炎症） and less immunity, which can be a result of feeling stressed due to loneliness.
To tackle this crisis, the WHO launched the Commission on Social Connection, which held its first leadership meeting from Dec. 6 to 8 to outline solutions to build social connections at scale.
32. What can we learn about people experiencing loneliness from the text
A. They prefer solitude over social interaction.
B. They feel lacking in social connection.
C. They feel other people isolate them on purpose.
D. They struggle to maintain social relationships.
33. How does loneliness affect people of different ages, according to the WHO
A. It is harder for older people to get rid of it.
B. Teenagers are usually not influenced by it.
C. People can suffer from it regardless of their age.
D. Adults experience it primarily due to workplace stress.
34. How does the author explain the impact of loneliness on health
A. By citing previous studies. B. By asking the readers some questions.
C. By quoting lonely people. D. By comparing it with other diseases.
35. What is the author's purpose in writing this article
A. To raise awareness about loneliness.
B. To give advice on how to prevent social isolation.
C. To stress the need for mental health evaluations.
D. To warn people of diseases related to loneliness.

Recycling is good for our planet, but it can be confusing. Can I recycle plastic bags What about pizza cartons Toothpaste tubes Which bin should I use There are so many questions, and more than half of Americans are unsure about how to recycle. 36 Here's a handy four-step guide on how to recycle effectively:
Know what to put in the recycling bin. Keep it simple and focus on the most commonly recycled items, such as paper, glass, aluminum（铝） and plastic. 37 Don't use the recycled symbol as a guide. “The number on the container is really for people to identify the type of resin （树脂）. That's not helpful for the common consumer,” said Cody Marshall, a strategist at nonprofit Recycling Partnership.
38 It is really important to know what you cannot put in your bin. You can always check with your city or at Be Recycled. org. If you live in the US, just plug in your postcode to search. Recycling companies struggle with the same problem items: hoses（软管）, cords, needles and clothing, according to Marshall, so don't put those items in your bin.
Wash or clean items. Do a quick clean to make sure there is no food left in containers before you put them in the bin. 39 Save food for composting（堆肥） in your garden.
Don't bag it. Unless you live in a place that requires it, like New York City, keep the recyclables lost in the bin. “A lot of the time, it's not safe for our employees to tear those bags open, or it takes too much time,” said Keller. “ 40 ”
A. Know what is not recyclable.
B. The answers are not hard to find.
C. A lot of bagged stuff goes right to the landfill（垃圾场）.
D. Plastic bags can be used again or returned to grocery stores.
E. If you really don't know if an item is recyclable, then just throw it in the garbage.
F. This is really important if you only use one bin because food items could ruin paper.
G. Hard plastics like water and soft drink bottles or anything like these can be recycled.

Everyone in my drama class saw the paper in my hands shaking when I stood up to try out for a lead role in the yearly school Thanksgiving play. I was there because the teacher wanted everyone to try out for a part.
Being shy and not confident, I began nervously reading the part for the main character, Star. She had no parents. Feeling so sorry for her, I finished reading.
Later when reading the name list, the teacher looked at me and announced, “Patty, you play e and get your script（剧本）.” I was shocked. Jim, an excellent boy, was playing the other lead. To learn my lines, I practiced every day and finally memorized them. I became more confident and happier.
Then we started practising acting. Jim played the character, a Scrooge （吝啬鬼）, who is unwilling to put a candle in his window so that the light will show passers-by the slippery ice on the path below. On the Thanks giving day, Star comes along, falls on the ice and gets injured.
Finally feeling bad, the Scrooge helps her up. To thank him, Star kisses his hand.
One day, before our drama class started, I saw a terrible drawing of me on the blackboard with words: Falling Star. I was laughed at by someone.
The teacher asked, “Who did this ” Nobody knew. We started rehearsing（排练）, but my heart wasn't in it. The teacher told me not to care about the silly trick; it wouldn't happen again. But I was sad and anxious, wanting to quit. Finally I moved on and continually worked hard for the play.
Soon it was the day before the show. It was time for the dress rehearsal. I was excited. Everything went smoothly at the dress rehearsal until the scene where I slipped on the ice and the Scrooge helped me up.
When I kissed his hand, a terrible noise and laughter sounded from behind the set. I quickly left the stage and hurried into an empty room. With tears, I said, “I can't do it. Please get someone else!”
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Good morning, my dearest classmates. It is my great honour to stand here and deliver a speech about the importance of music in our daily life.

Suddenly, I felt a gentle hand on my shoulder. I heard voices and a warm hand took mine. I looked up and saw concerned faces. Jim and several other classmates had come after me. “Please, don't drop out. . . ” they said and tried to comfort me. Later, the teacher found the troublemaker Peter, who loved making silly tricks.

B 前文 “There are so many questions, and more than half of Americans are unsure about how to recycle. （有这么多的问题，超过一半的美国人不确定如何回收）” 提及了回收时有太多问题令人困扰，后文 “Here's a handy four-step guide on how to recycle effectively（以下是有效回收垃圾的四步指南）” 则说到有效回收的4个步骤。由此推知，设空句作为中间过渡句，应是与前文在句意逻辑上构成转折，且引出后文内容。B项 “The answers are not hard to find. （答案不难找到）” 的 “The answers” 对应前文 “questions” ，句意上与前文构成转折，且可引出后文内容，用在文中可承前启后，符合语境。故选B项。
37. G 根据主题句 “Know what to put in the recycling bin. （知道该把什么放在回收箱里）” 可知，该段主要讲述可回收物品，G项 “Hard plastics like water and soft drink bottles or anything like these can be recycled. （硬塑料，如水瓶和软饮料瓶或类似的任何东西，都可以回收）” 介绍的是可回收的物品，贴合该段主题，符合语境。故选G项。
38. A 设空为该段主题句。根据后文 “It is really important to know what you cannot put in your bin. （知道哪些东西不能放进垃圾桶是很重要的）” 可知，本段介绍的是不可回收的物品。选项A “Know what is not recyclable. （知道什么是不可回收的）” 可作该段主题句。故选A项。
39. F 前文 “Do a quick clean to make sure there is no food left in containers before you put them in the bin. （在你把容器放进垃圾桶之前，快速清理一下，确保容器里没有食物残留）” 提及要将食物残留清理出来，那么，设空句应解释这样做的原因。选项F “This is really important if you only use one bin because food items could ruin paper. （如果你只用一个垃圾桶，这一点非常重要，因为食物会破坏纸张）” 解释了原因，符合语境。故选F项。
40. C 前文 “A lot of the time, it's not safe for our employees to tear those bags open, or it takes too much time（很多时候，我们的员工撕开这些袋子是不安全的，或者需要花费太多时间）” 提及袋装垃圾有危害性或浪费时间。由此推知，设空句应讲述为了安全或不浪费时间，袋装垃圾的去处。选项C“Alot of bagged stuff goes right to the landfill. （很多袋装的东西直接被扔进了垃圾填埋场）”讲到了袋装垃圾不会经过人工处理，直接被扔进了填埋场，符合语境。故选C项。
