Bali Childcare Volunteers

Stay in the “rice bowl” of Bali in the traditional town of Tabanan and give the most precious thing of all, your time, to local children eager to learn! Participants generally volunteer from Monday to Thursday and the weekends are free to relax or travel further afield.
Nepal English Teaching Volunteers

The large elephant enclosures (围场), up to 5 hectares each, with natural trees, lakes and grazing areas, allow the elephants to move around and socialise with other elephants. No elephant is ever chained up, day or night.

Ali, an ordinary office worker, was troubled by the shortage of parking spaces in his residential area. One day, he discovered that Mr. Liu was renting out his parking space for one yuan for two months, so he joined the draw and unexpectedly won the spot. However, the next day, his parking space was occupied by a white car. Ali tried to contact the owner Chang, but was met with indifference. In anger, Ali took a series of measures, but Chang remained unmoved.
The situation eventually escalated (不断恶化) into the point where the police got involved, and both Ali and Chang had to pay two thousand yuan each for car repairs. Although Ali was dissatisfied, he decided to avoid further losses by installing a parking lock. However, he found that Chang had also added a lock. After two months of conflict, both sides were exhausted, and Ali finally chose to give up the fight and parked his car elsewhere.
After the summer vacation ended, Ali returned the parking space to Mr. Liu. By chance, he learned the real reason why Mr. Liu rented out the parking space. Ali and Chang had often occupied Mr. Liu’s parking space. By renting out the parking space for one yuan, Mr. Liu made both of them give up due to exhaustion, thus solving the long-standing problem of people occupying others’ parking spaces in the community. Embarrassed, Ali realized that his previous behavior of occupying others’ parking spaces was wrong. He told what he had known to Chang and they both felt ashamed and reflective.
In daily life, wisdom and strategy can solve seemingly unsolvable conflicts. Besides, individual behavior has an effect on community harmony and staying calm and self-reflective when facing conflicts is important.
4. What was Ali’s initial problem in his residential area
A. The shortage of parking spaces. B. High rent of parking spaces.
C. A lack of security in his community. D. Noise pollution around his apartment.
5. What did Ali and Chang do to prevent each other using the parking space
A. They reported the issue to the police. B. They moved to a different community.
C. They negotiated an accessible solution. D. They fixed parking locks on the parking space.
6. What can we infer about Mr. Liu from paragraph 3
A. He wanted to make extra money.
B. He didn’t care about the community.
C. He used a strategy to resolve the parking conflicts.
D He was exhausted to see conflicts in the community.
7. What is the main idea of the text
A. Parking conflicts made Ali and Chang cost much.
B. Two customers had conflicts because of the parking fee.
C. The police played an important role in community harmony.
D. Wisdom and strategy can resolve some unsolvable problems.
C
Scientists tested the effects. of new PVC pellets (聚氯乙烯颗粒) on the development of seven species, spanning all major groups of marine animals. They found exposure to high concentrations of PVC pellets prevented healthy development in all seven species.
The study, by an international team led by the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn di Napoli (SZN) and the University of Exeter, highlights the “potentially catastrophic effects” of rising levels of plastic in the ocean.
“When exposed to high levels of new PVC pellets, the species we examined went wrong in different ways,” said the first author Dr. Jimenez-Guri. “Some failed to make a shell; some failed to form proper bilateral (两侧的) features; some just stopped developing after a few rounds of cell division. They all failed to make a viable embryo (胚胎).”
The study also examined the bad effects of plastic samples recovered from beaches. While the effects were not as widespread as those of new PVC pellets, high concentrations were found to affect the development of mollusks (软体动物), including sea urchins, sea stars and sea squirts.
Coasts and rivers are known hot spots for plastic pollution. As the species in the study all live in coastal areas, severe pollution could have a major impact.
“If you have extreme pollution at a time when these species are reproducing, then you don’t have the next generation of those species,” said Dr. Jimenez-Guri.
Explaining how plastics cause developmental abnormalities, Dr. Jimenez-Guri said plastics contain a complex variety of potentially harmful components including zinc, which are slowly released once plastic is in the water.
She added, “If we reach these extreme levels of plastic pollution at our coasts, which happens in isolated cases but is thankfully uncommon at present, many species may become unable to reproduce, with massive impacts on marine life, the wider environment and people. We need urgent action to reduce the amount of plastic entering the ocean.”
8. What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic of the text. B. To describe the methods used in the study.
C. To present the findings of different studies. D. To highlight the positive effects of PVC pellets.
9. What does the underlined word “catastrophic” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Terrible. B. Formal. C. Creative. D. Isolated.
10. What is Dr. Jimenez-Guri’s attitude towards the situation of marine life
A. Positive. B. Concerned. C. Conservative. D. Indifferent.
11. Which can be the best title for the text
A. The Role Of PVC Pellets In Marine Ecosystems
B. The Importance Of Coastal Areas For Marine Life
C. The Future Of Marine Life Under Plastic Pollution
D. The Serious Impact Of PVC Pellets On Marine Life
D
Language is the most important tool for human communication and is essential for life in our society. Dr. Sabrina Turker from the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig says, “Despite a lot of research on how the brain processes language, we still don’t know much about how language is organized in the human brain. Most of what we know comes from small studies with only a few subjects, and these findings have not been confirmed in other studies.” This meta-analysis aims to help change that.
Based on many neuroscientific (神经科学的) experiments using brain imaging techniques and involving thousands of subjects, this analysis gives us a deeper understanding of how the brain organizes language. By combining results from different studies, researchers can see which parts of the brain are active during various language tasks. This approach helps us understand the basic principles of how the brain processes language.
The researchers not only studied language as a process in general, but also clearly addressed subordinate (从属的) processes: the meaning of language at the level of words and sentences (semantics); the phonetic structure of language (phonology); grammar and the arrangement of linguistic elements (syntax); the phonetic structure of language at sentence level, including melody, intonation and rhythm (prosody).
Besides the well-known language areas in the left side of the brain, the researchers discovered that parts of the brain below the cerebral cortex and the cerebellum also play an important role in language processes.
Gesa Hartwigsen, Professor of Cognitive and Biological Psychology at Leipzig University, said, “Our findings may serve future studies involving language recovery after brain injury, for example caused by stroke. And they could help to improve models of language processing.”
12. What does the study focus on
A. Why language is important.
B. How the brain organises language.
C. How the brain influences a person.
D. Why we control the language abilities.
13. How did researchers draw their conclusion
A. By measuring subjects’ brain activity.
B. By analyzing quantities of experimental data.
C. By building a database for many experiments.
D. By conducting interviews with hundreds of subjects.
14. What do we know about the study from paragraph 3
A. It is simple. B. It is limited.
C. It is specific. D. It is confusing.
15. What is the scientific value of the study
A. Treating brain injury. B. Finding the cause of stroke.
C. Helping language recovery. D. Improving language teaching.

As the Chinese New Year approached, many people working away from home were preparing to return for the holiday. My uncle and my aunt were no exception. Before the Spring Festival, my uncle took a day off and got up early. He needed to catch the first bus to the train station to buy tickets. After dinner, my uncle came back on the bus. “Did you get the tickets ” my aunt asked, her heart finally settling when she saw my uncle nodding tiredly. “But, the two tickets are for different trains. You’ ll leave a day earlier, and I’ll leave the next day,” my uncle said softly. “As long as we can go home, that’s OK,” my aunt replied. “We haven’t been back for two years. Ming Tang is almost ready for primary school.” Ming Tang was their only son, and he was six years old that year.
When the factory closed for the holiday, my uncle took my aunt to the train station. My aunt was going alone, and my uncle was a bit worried. “Your ticket has a seat. Take this small bag with you. My ticket is a standing one, so I’ll find a place to squat (蹲坐) if I can. The bank card is in the inner pocket of your coat. When you get off the train, there’s a bank outside the station. Be careful on the train; don’t get squeezed or stepped on; don’t sleep too soundly. Hold on to your bag when you get on and off the train. The water and instant noodles are in the handbag, easy to take out and put back. It takes eleven hours to get there. You’ll arrive at eight in the morning, so don’t oversleep. After you get off, don’t wait for me. Take the money from the bank and go home. The elderly and the child are waiting. I’ll call home from the train station tomorrow.”

Ali, an ordinary office worker, was troubled by the shortage of parking spaces in his residential area. One day, he discovered that Mr. Liu was renting out his parking space for one yuan for two months, so he joined the draw and unexpectedly won the spot. However, the next day, his parking space was occupied by a white car. Ali tried to contact the owner Chang, but was met with indifference. In anger, Ali took a series of measures, but Chang remained unmoved.
The situation eventually escalated (不断恶化) into the point where the police got involved, and both Ali and Chang had to pay two thousand yuan each for car repairs. Although Ali was dissatisfied, he decided to avoid further losses by installing a parking lock. However, he found that Chang had also added a lock. After two months of conflict, both sides were exhausted, and Ali finally chose to give up the fight and parked his car elsewhere.
After the summer vacation ended, Ali returned the parking space to Mr. Liu. By chance, he learned the real reason why Mr. Liu rented out the parking space. Ali and Chang had often occupied Mr. Liu’s parking space. By renting out the parking space for one yuan, Mr. Liu made both of them give up due to exhaustion, thus solving the long-standing problem of people occupying others’ parking spaces in the community. Embarrassed, Ali realized that his previous behavior of occupying others’ parking spaces was wrong. He told what he had known to Chang and they both felt ashamed and reflective.
In daily life, wisdom and strategy can solve seemingly unsolvable conflicts. Besides, individual behavior has an effect on community harmony and staying calm and self-reflective when facing conflicts is important.
4. What was Ali’s initial problem in his residential area
A. The shortage of parking spaces. B. High rent of parking spaces.

Scientists tested the effects. of new PVC pellets (聚氯乙烯颗粒) on the development of seven species, spanning all major groups of marine animals. They found exposure to high concentrations of PVC pellets prevented healthy development in all seven species.
The study, by an international team led by the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn di Napoli (SZN) and the University of Exeter, highlights the “potentially catastrophic effects” of rising levels of plastic in the ocean.
“When exposed to high levels of new PVC pellets, the species we examined went wrong in different ways,” said the first author Dr. Jimenez-Guri. “Some failed to make a shell; some failed to form proper bilateral (两侧的) features; some just stopped developing after a few rounds of cell division. They all failed to make a viable embryo (胚胎).”
The study also examined the bad effects of plastic samples recovered from beaches. While the effects were not as widespread as those of new PVC pellets, high concentrations were found to affect the development of mollusks (软体动物), including sea urchins, sea stars and sea squirts.
Coasts and rivers are known hot spots for plastic pollution. As the species in the study all live in coastal areas severe pollution could have a major impact.
“If you have extreme pollution at a time when these species are reproducing, then you don’t have the next generation of those species,” said Dr. Jimenez-Guri.
Explaining how plastics cause developmental abnormalities, Dr. Jimenez-Guri said plastics contain a complex variety of potentially harmful components including zinc, which are slowly released once plastic is in the water.
She added, “If we reach these extreme levels of plastic pollution at our coasts, which happens in isolated cases but is thankfully uncommon at present, many species may become unable to reproduce, with massive impacts on marine life, the wider environment and people. We need urgent action to reduce the amount of plastic entering the ocean.”
8. What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic of the text. B. To describe the methods used in the study.
C. To present the findings of different studies. D. To highlight the positive effects of PVC pellets.
9. What does the underlined word “catastrophic” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Terrible. B. Formal. C. Creative. D. Isolated.
10. What is Dr. Jimenez-Guri’s attitude towards the situation of marine life
A. Positive. B. Concerned. C. Conservative. D. Indifferent.
11. Which can be the best title for the text
A. The Role Of PVC Pellets In Marine Ecosystems
B. The Importance Of Coastal Areas For Marine Life
C. The Future Of Marine Life Under Plastic Pollution
D. The Serious Impact Of PVC Pellets On Marine Life
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. B 11. D

Language is the most important tool for human communication and is essential for life in our society. Dr. Sabrina Turker from the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig says, “Despite a lot of research on how the brain processes language, we still don’t know much about how language is organized in the human brain. Most of what we know comes from small studies with only a few subjects, and these findings have not been confirmed in other studies.” This meta-analysis aims to help change that.
Based on many neuroscientific (神经科学的) experiments using brain imaging techniques and involving thousands of subjects, this analysis gives us a deeper understanding of how the brain organizes language. By combining results from different studies, researchers can see which parts of the brain are active during various language tasks. This approach helps us understand the basic principles of how the brain processes language.
The researchers not only studied language as a process in general, but also clearly addressed subordinate (从属的) processes: the meaning of language at the level of words and sentences (semantics); the phonetic structure of language (phonology); grammar and the arrangement of linguistic elements (syntax); the phonetic structure of language at sentence level, including melody, intonation and rhythm (prosody).
Besides the well-known language areas in the left side of the brain, the researchers discovered that parts of the brain below the cerebral cortex and the cerebellum also play an important role in language processes.
Gesa Hartwigsen Professor of Cognitive and Biological Psychology at Leipzig University, said, “Our findings may serve future studies involving language recovery after brain injury, for example caused by stroke. And they could help to improve models of language processing.”
12. What does the study focus on
A. Why language is important.
B. How the brain organises language.
C. How the brain influences a person.
D. Why we control the language abilities.
13. How did researchers draw their conclusion
A. By measuring subjects’ brain activity.
B. By analyzing quantities of experimental data.
C. By building a database for many experiments.
D. By conducting interviews with hundreds of subjects.
14. What do we know about the study from paragraph 3
A. It is simple. B. It is limited.
C. It is specific. D. It is confusing.
15. What is the scientific value of the study
A. Treating brain injury. B. Finding the cause of stroke.
C. Helping language recovery. D. Improving language teaching.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. C

As the Chinese New Year approached, many people working away from home were preparing to return for the holiday. My uncle and my aunt were no exception. Before the Spring Festival, my uncle took a day off and got up early. He needed to catch the first bus to the train station to buy tickets. After dinner, my uncle came back on the bus. “Did you get the tickets ” my aunt asked, her heart finally settling when she saw my uncle nodding tiredly. “But, the two tickets are for different trains. You’ ll leave a day earlier, and I’ll leave the next day,” my uncle said softly. “As long as we can go home, that’s OK,” my aunt replied. “We haven’t been back for two years. Ming Tang is almost ready for primary school.” Ming Tang was their only son, and he was six years old that year.
When the factory closed for the holiday, my uncle took my aunt to the train station. My aunt was going alone, and my uncle was a bit worried. “Your ticket has a seat. Take this small bag with you. My ticket is a standing one, so I’ll find a place to squat (蹲坐) if I can. The bank card is in the inner pocket of your coat. When you get off the train, there’s a bank outside the station. Be careful on the train; don’t get squeezed or stepped on; don’t sleep too soundly. Hold on to your bag when you get on and off the train. The water and instant noodles are in the handbag, easy to take out and put back. It takes eleven hours to get there. You’ll arrive at eight in the morning, so don’t oversleep. After you get off, don’t wait for me. Take the money from the bank and go home. The elderly and the child are waiting. I’ll call home from the train station tomorrow.”

1.续写词数应为150个左右；

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】My aunt didn’t get home until three in the afternoon the next day. She was tired but excited. She hugged her son tightly and tears streamed down her face. “Mom, where’s Dad ” Ming Tang asked, looking around curiously. “Your dad will be home tomorrow,” my aunt replied, trying to hold back her tears. “He had to take a different train because of the tickets.” Ming Tang nodded, not fully understanding, but sensing the emotion in the air. My aunt then turned to her elderly parents and hugged them tightly, feeling a sense of relief and warmth being back home with her family.
After talking about things about the family, my aunt asked if my uncle got to the station. “Yes, he called from the station early this morning,” her father replied. “He said he would try to get some rest on the train and would be home tomorrow.” My aunt nodded, a sense of relief washing over her. She knew her husband was a strong and capable man, but she couldn’t help worrying about him traveling alone. As she sat with her family, enjoying the familiar and comforting atmosphere, she looked forward to her uncle’s arrival the next day, eager to have their family complete again after such a long time apart.

Language is the most important tool for human communication and is essential for life in our society. Dr. Sabrina Turker from the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig says, “Despite a lot of research on how the brain processes language, we still don’t know much about how language is organized in the human brain. Most of what we know comes from small studies with only a few subjects, and these findings have not been confirmed in other studies.” This meta-analysis aims to help change that.
Based on many neuroscientific (神经科学的) experiments using brain imaging techniques and involving thousands of subjects, this analysis gives us a deeper understanding of how the brain organizes language. By combining results from different studies, researchers can see which parts of the brain are active during various language tasks. This approach helps us understand the basic principles of how the brain processes language.
The researchers not only studied language as a process in general, but also clearly addressed subordinate (从属的) processes: the meaning of language at the level of words and sentences (semantics); the phonetic structure of language (phonology); grammar and the arrangement of linguistic elements (syntax); the phonetic structure of language at sentence level, including melody, intonation and rhythm (prosody).
Besides the well-known language areas in the left side of the brain, the researchers discovered that parts of the brain below the cerebral cortex and the cerebellum also play an important role in language processes.
Gesa Hartwigsen, Professor of Cognitive and Biological Psychology at Leipzig University, said, “Our findings may serve future studies involving language recovery after brain injury, for example caused by stroke. And they could help to improve models of language processing.”
12. What does the study focus on
A. Why language is important.
B. How the brain organises language.
C. How the brain influences a person.
D. Why we control the language abilities.
13. How did researchers draw their conclusion
A. By measuring subjects’ brain activity.
B. By analyzing quantities of experimental data.
C. By building a database for many experiments.
D. By conducting interviews with hundreds of subjects.
14. What do we know about the study from paragraph 3
A. It is simple. B. It is limited.
C. It is specific. D. It is confusing.
15. What is the scientific value of the study
A. Treating brain injury. B. Finding the cause of stroke.
C. Helping language recovery. D. Improving language teaching.

As the Chinese New Year approached, many people working away from home were preparing to return for the holiday. My uncle and my aunt were no exception. Before the Spring Festival, my uncle took a day off and got up early. He needed to catch the first bus to the train station to buy tickets. After dinner, my uncle came back on the bus. “Did you get the tickets ” my aunt asked, her heart finally settling when she saw my uncle nodding tiredly. “But, the two tickets are for different trains. You’ ll leave a day earlier, and I’ll leave the next day,” my uncle said softly. “As long as we can go home, that’s OK,” my aunt replied. “We haven’t been back for two years. Ming Tang is almost ready for primary school.” Ming Tang was their only son, and he was six years old that year.
When the factory closed for the holiday, my uncle took my aunt to the train station. My aunt was going alone, and my uncle was a bit worried. “Your ticket has a seat. Take this small bag with you. My ticket is a standing one, so I’ll find a place to squat (蹲坐) if I can. The bank card is in the inner pocket of your coat. When you get off the train, there’s a bank outside the station. Be careful on the train; don’t get squeezed or stepped on; don’t sleep too soundly. Hold on to your bag when you get on and off the train. The water and instant noodles are in the handbag, easy to take out and put back. It takes eleven hours to get there. You’ll arrive at eight in the morning, so don’t oversleep. After you get off, don’t wait for me. Take the money from the bank and go home. The elderly and the child are waiting. I’ll call home from the train station tomorrow.”

Plan My Gap Year (PMGY) is an award-winning international volunteer placement organisation based in the UK. We provide safe, affordable, need-driven volunteer programmes from 1 to 24 weeks in 11 countries worldwide.
Bali Childcare Volunteers
2 — 8 weeks, age 17+
Stay in the “rice bowl” of Bali in the traditional town of Tabanan and give the most precious thing of all, your time, to local children eager to learn! Participants generally volunteer from Monday to Thursday and the weekends are free to relax or travel further afield.
Nepal English Teaching Volunteers
2 — 20 weeks, age 18+
It is very important that children receive a formal education. It is not totally uncommon for them to leave the traditional environment when they get older. Therefore, it is important for them to learn English in order to boost their career prospects. On arrival, the children will be keen and excited to meet you, but some will also be shy during your first few days at the learning center!
Thailand Elephant Sanctuary Volunteers
1 — 4 weeks, age 18+
If you wish to volunteer ethically with elephants, and wish to know more about them, the Thailand Elephant Project is the place to volunteer. The large elephant enclosures (围场), up to 5 hectares each, with natural trees, lakes and grazing areas, allow the elephants to move around and socialise with other elephants. No elephant is ever chained up, day or night.
Real Asia Encounter
6 — 12 weeks, age 18+
Real Asia Encounter takes in Sri Lanka, India and Nepal. We seriously can’t think of a more wonderful combination of exotic (异国风味的) and fascinating gap year destinations in Asia to volunteer in. Action-packed 6, 9 or 12 weeks lie ahead of you in some of the best places to volunteer abroad!

Ali, an ordinary office worker, was troubled by the shortage of parking spaces in his residential area. One day, he discovered that Mr. Liu was renting out his parking space for one yuan for two months, so he joined the draw and unexpectedly won the spot. However, the next day, his parking space was occupied by a white car. Ali tried to contact the owner Chang, but was met with indifference. In anger, Ali took a series of measures, but Chang remained unmoved.
The situation eventually escalated (不断恶化) into the point where the police got involved, and both Ali and Chang had to pay two thousand yuan each for car repairs. Although Ali was dissatisfied, he decided to avoid further losses by installing a parking lock. However, he found that Chang had also added a lock. After two months of conflict, both sides were exhausted, and Ali finally chose to give up the fight and parked his car elsewhere.
After the summer vacation ended, Ali returned the parking space to Mr. Liu. By chance, he learned the real reason why Mr. Liu rented out the parking space. Ali and Chang had often occupied Mr. Liu’s parking space. By renting out the parking space for one yuan, Mr. Liu made both of them give up due to exhaustion, thus solving the long-standing problem of people occupying others’ parking spaces in the community. Embarrassed, Ali realized that his previous behavior of occupying others’ parking spaces was wrong. He told what he had known to Chang and they both felt ashamed and reflective.
In daily life, wisdom and strategy can solve seemingly unsolvable conflicts. Besides, individual behavior has an effect on community harmony and staying calm and self-reflective when facing conflicts is important.
4. What was Ali’s initial problem in his residential area
A. The shortage of parking spaces. B. High rent of parking spaces.
C. A lack of security in his community. D. Noise pollution around his apartment.
5. What did Ali and Chang do to prevent each other using the parking space
A. They reported the issue to the police. B. They moved to a different community.
C. They negotiated an accessible solution. D. They fixed parking locks on the parking space.
6. What can we infer about Mr. Liu from paragraph 3
A. He wanted to make extra money.
B. He didn’t care about the community.
C. He used a strategy to resolve the parking conflicts.
D. He was exhausted to see conflicts in the community.
7. What is the main idea of the text
A. Parking conflicts made Ali and Chang cost much.
B. Two customers had conflicts because of the parking fee.
C The police played an important role in community harmony.
D. Wisdom and strategy can resolve some unsolvable problems.

Scientists tested the effects. of new PVC pellets (聚氯乙烯颗粒) on the development of seven species, spanning all major groups of marine animals. They found exposure to high concentrations of PVC pellets prevented healthy development in all seven species.
The study, by an international team led by the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn di Napoli (SZN) and the University of Exeter, highlights the “potentially catastrophic effects” of rising levels of plastic in the ocean.
“When exposed to high levels of new PVC pellets, the species we examined went wrong in different ways,” said the first author Dr. Jimenez-Guri. “Some failed to make a shell; some failed to form proper bilateral (两侧的) features; some just stopped developing after a few rounds of cell division. They all failed to make a viable embryo (胚胎).”
The study also examined the bad effects of plastic samples recovered from beaches. While the effects were not as widespread as those of new PVC pellets, high concentrations were found to affect the development of mollusks (软体动物), including sea urchins, sea stars and sea squirts.
Coasts and rivers are known hot spots for plastic pollution. As the species in the study all live in coastal areas severe pollution could have a major impact.
“If you have extreme pollution at a time when these species are reproducing, then you don’t have the next generation of those species,” said Dr. Jimenez-Guri.
Explaining how plastics cause developmental abnormalities, Dr. Jimenez-Guri said plastics contain a complex variety of potentially harmful components including zinc, which are slowly released once plastic is in the water.
She added, “If we reach these extreme levels of plastic pollution at our coasts, which happens in isolated cases but is thankfully uncommon at present, many species may become unable to reproduce, with massive impacts on marine life, the wider environment and people. We need urgent action to reduce the amount of plastic entering the ocean.”
8. What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic of the text. B. To describe the methods used in the study.
C. To present the findings of different studies. D. To highlight the positive effects of PVC pellets.
9. What does the underlined word “catastrophic” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Terrible. B. Formal. C. Creative. D. Isolated.
10. What is Dr. Jimenez-Guri’s attitude towards the situation of marine life
A. Positive. B. Concerned. C. Conservative. D. Indifferent.
11. Which can be the best title for the text
A. The Role Of PVC Pellets In Marine Ecosystems
B. The Importance Of Coastal Areas For Marine Life

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As the Chinese New Year approached, many people working away from home were preparing to return for the holiday. My uncle and my aunt were no exception. Before the Spring Festival, my uncle took a day off and got up early. He needed to catch the first bus to the train station to buy tickets. After dinner, my uncle came back on the bus. “Did you get the tickets ” my aunt asked, her heart finally settling when she saw my uncle nodding tiredly. “But, the two tickets are for different trains. You’ ll leave a day earlier, and I’ll leave the next day,” my uncle said softly. “As long as we can go home, that’s OK,” my aunt replied. “We haven’t been back for two years. Ming Tang is almost ready for primary school.” Ming Tang was their only son, and he was six years old that year.
When the factory closed for the holiday, my uncle took my aunt to the train station. My aunt was going alone, and my uncle was a bit worried. “Your ticket has a seat. Take this small bag with you. My ticket is a standing one, so I’ll find a place to squat (蹲坐) if I can. The bank card is in the inner pocket of your coat. When you get off the train, there’s a bank outside the station. Be careful on the train; don’t get squeezed or stepped on; don’t sleep too soundly. Hold on to your bag when you get on and off the train. The water and instant noodles are in the handbag, easy to take out and put back. It takes eleven hours to get there. You’ll arrive at eight in the morning, so don’t oversleep. After you get off, don’t wait for me. Take the money from the bank and go home. The elderly and the child are waiting. I’ll call home from the train station tomorrow.”

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】My aunt didn’t get home until three in the afternoon the next day. She was tired but excited. She hugged her son tightly and tears streamed down her face. “Mom, where’s Dad ” Ming Tang asked, looking around curiously. “Your dad will be home tomorrow,” my aunt replied, trying to hold back her tears. “He had to take a different train because of the tickets.” Ming Tang nodded, not fully understanding, but sensing the emotion in the air. My aunt then turned to her elderly parents and hugged them tightly, feeling a sense of relief and warmth being back home with her family.
After talking about things about the family, my aunt asked if my uncle got to the station. “Yes, he called from the station early this morning,” her father replied. “He said he would try to get some rest on the train and would be home tomorrow.” My aunt nodded, a sense of relief washing over her. She knew her husband was a strong and capable man, but she couldn’t help worrying about him traveling alone. As she sat with her family, enjoying the familiar and comforting atmosphere, she looked forward to her uncle’s arrival the next day, eager to have their family complete again after such a long time apart.
