Ling was a Chinese girl who had always been fascinated by the culture and people of Africa. She had grown up reading books about the continent and watching documentaries about the wildlife and the people who lived there. So, when she graduated from college, she decided to take a gap year and volunteer in Africa.

She arrived in a small village in Kenya, where she was greeted by a group of friendly locals who showed her around and introduced her to the other volunteers. Ling was excited to start her work, but she quickly realized that it was going to be much harder than she had expected.

The village was poor and lacked basic necessaries like clean water and electricity. The people were struggling to make ends meet, and Ling knew that she had to do something to help. She started by teaching English to the children in the village, who were eager to learn and improve their communication skills.

Ling also worked with the local women, teaching them how to sew and make handicrafts that they could sell in the market. She helped them set up a small business, and soon they were making enough money to support their families.

But Ling’s work was not without its challenges. She had to deal with cultural differences and language barriers, and she often found herself feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. However, she persevered, knowing that her work was making a difference in the lives of the people she was helping.

As time went on, Ling became more and more involved in the community. She helped to build a well that provided clean water to the village, and she organized a fundraiser to buy solar panels that would bring electricity to the area.

Ling’s work in Africa was not easy, but it was incredibly rewarding. She had made a difference in the lives of the people she had met, and she had learned so much about herself and the world around her. As she prepared to leave the village and return home, Ling knew that she would never forget the experiences she had had in Africa, and she hoped that she had inspired others to follow in her footsteps and make a difference in the world.

24. What about the locals struck Ling after she arrived at Africa?

A. Their rich culture and life. B. Their lifestyle and tradition.

C. Their friendliness and poverty. D. Their eagerness to learn and leave.

25. How did Ling help the local women?

A. By teaching them English. B. By helping them develop health habits.

C. By selling them handicrafts. D. By helping them become breadwinners.

26. What encouraged her to rise to challenges?

A. The knowledge that she could create change.

B. The kindness that the locals showed to her.

C. The realization that she would never return.

D. The support that came from her loved ones.

27. What was Ling’s hope as she was going to leave Africa?

A. She could return ten years later. B. More people would follow her lead.

C. Electricity could be brought to the area. D. She could promote local attractions.

A sea of plastic is a disaster that we are currently facing. Our oceans are filled with plastic waste, and it is causing significant harm to marine life and the environment. The cause of this problem is the overuse of plastic in our daily lives, which is not being disposed (处置) of properly. Plastic waste is often thrown into the ocean, where it takes hundreds of years to decompose.

A recent study has shown that there are over 5 trillion pieces of plastic in the ocean, and this number is only increasing. This plastic waste is not only harming marine life, but it is also affecting human health. Fish that consume plastic are often caught and sold for human consumption, which means that we are also ingesting plastic.

To combat this problem, we need to reduce our use of plastic and properly dispose of it. We can start by using reusable bags, water bottles, and containers instead of single-use plastic. We can also recycle plastic waste and dispose of it properly to prevent it from ending up in the ocean.

Governments and businesses also need to take action to reduce plastic waste. They can implement (执行) policies and regulations to reduce the use of plastic and encourage recycling. Businesses can also switch to more sustainable packaging options to reduce their plastic waste.

In conclusion, a sea of plastic is a significant problem that we need to address urgently. By reducing our use of plastic and properly disposing of it, we can prevent further harm to the environment and marine life. It is time for us to take action and make a positive change for the future.

28. What worsens the plastic waste problem, according to paragraph 1?

A. The oceans are getting warmer and warmer.

B. The plastic is becoming cheaper to produce.

C. It turned out an issue that received little attention.

D. It takes several centuries for plastic waste to break down.

29. What does the underlined word “ingesting” probably mean in paragraph 2?

A. releasing B. producing C. swallowing D. reducing

30. What are paragraph 3 and 4 mainly about?

A. What the effects are of the plastic waste on humans.

B. What the three-Rs are to deal with the plastic waste problem.

C. What laws should be passed to deal with the plastic waste problem.

D. What individuals and society need do to solve the plastic waste problem.

31. What’s the purpose of this passage on plastic waste?

A. It’s a call to action on it.  B. It’s an analysis of its cause.

C. It’s an introduction to a study on it. D. It’s a warning of its consequences.

D

The saying “Practice makes perfect” has been around for centuries, but is it really true? While some argue that practice is essential for achieving mastery, others believe that natural talent and innate (天生的) abilities play a more significant role. Recent studies have shed light on this debate, revealing (显示) that the truth lies somewhere in between.

On one hand, practice is undoubtedly crucial for improving skills and achieving success. Research has shown that deliberate practice, which involves setting specific goals, receiving feedback, and focusing on areas of weakness, can lead to significant improvements in performance. For example, a study of professional musicians found that those who practiced more hours per week were more likely to achieve success in their careers.

However, it’s important to note that practice alone is not enough. Natural talent and innate abilities also play a significant role in determining success. A study of chess players found that while practice was essential for improving skills, it was not the only factor that determined success. Players who had a higher IQ and better memory were more likely to achieve success, even with less practice than their peers.

Furthermore, recent studies have challenged the idea that practice always leads to improvement. A study of basketball players found that while practice was essential for improving shooting accuracy, it did not necessarily lead to better decision-making on the court. In other words, practice can improve specific skills, but it may not translate to overall performance.

While practice is undoubtedly essential for improving skills and achieving success, it is not the only factor that determines mastery. Natural talent and innate abilities also play a significant role, and practice alone may not always lead to improvement. Therefore, it’s important to focus on deliberate practice, set specific goals, and receive feedback, while also acknowledging the role of natural abilities in determining success.

32. What has the research indicated in paragraph 2?

A. Deliberate practice means put more hours into practice.

B. Deliberate practice only proves effective for professional musicians.

C. Intentional training can result in notable improvement in one’s abilities.

D. Breaking down a skill into smaller steps plays the biggest role of learning.

33. What is used as an example of natural talent in the second study?

A. A better memory.  B. A quiet personality.

C. A higher EQ.  D. A map-reading ability.

34. What does the study of basketball players serve as?

A. A supporting evidence for the popular belief.

B. An argument against “Practice makes perfect”.

C. A further explanation of deliberate practice.

D. A reasonable doubt about the innate abilities.

35. What’s the best title for the text?

A. Practice makes perfect.  B. Natural talent matters.

C. Practice, gift or both?  D. How long to practice?

The day of the big science fair had finally arrived. Students from different schools in the city had gathered at the convention center to showcase their projects. As I walked around the exhibition hall, I noticed a group of students gather around a table, whispering and laughing loudly. Curious, I approached them and saw that they were pointing at a boy who was sitting alone at a table, looking down at his project.

It was Alex, a student from a special education school. He had been working on his project for weeks, and I knew how excited he was to present it at the fair. But now, he looked sad and alone. I walked over to him and asked him what was wrong. He hesitated for a moment before telling me that he didn’t want to present his project anymore.

I was surprised. Alex had been so enthusiastic about his project, and he had put in so much effort. I asked him why he had changed his mind. He told me that he had overheard some students making fun of him and his project. They had called it “stupid” and “boring”.

I felt both angry and sad. It wasn’t fair that Alex had to deal with this kind of bullying. I looked around for his teacher and found her talking to another group of students. I approached her and told her what had happened. She looked concerned and immediately went over to talk to Alex.

After a few minutes, she came back to me and told me that Alex had decided to present his project after all. She had talked to him about how proud she was of him and how much effort he had put into his project. She had also reminded him that the science fair was about learning and sharing, not about winning or impressing others.

I watched as Alex stood up and walked confidently to his table. He began to explain his project to the judges and the other students who had gathered around. I could see the pride in his eyes as he talked about his research and his findings. As the day went on, I saw more and more students come up to Alex to ask him about his project. They were really interested in what he had to say, and they listened attentively as he explained his ideas. By the end of the day, Alex had won a prize for his project, and he had made many new friends.

As I was leaving the convention center, Alex ran towards me. He thanked me for helping him and for believing in him. I smiled and told him that he didn't need my help, that he had the strength and courage to face his fears and present his project. I told him that he was an inspiration to me and to many others. As I walked away, I felt grateful for having met Alex and for witnessing his determination and perseverance.
