24、Look around you—how many plastic (塑料) things can you find in your house? Most homes today are almost full of plastic, from water bottles to clothes, chairs, and even computers. Regretfully, so are our rivers and oceans.

According to research, about 583 billion (十亿) plastic bottles were produced in 2021. That is 100 billion more than just five years ago. This year, five trillion (万亿) plastic bags are used. That’s 160,000 every second. Americans alone use half a million drinking straws (吸管) every day.

However, very little of the plastic that goes into recycling bins (回收箱) can make it through the recycling process. It’s said that only around 9 percent of plastic is recycled. About 16 percent is burned for electricity or heat. The rest ends up in landfills (填埋场) or bodies of water.

Not all the plastic things you put in your recycling bin can be recycled and reused. In most cases, plastic things can’t be used again if they have more than one kind of plastic in them. That’s because some plastics can’t be mixed together.

How about those plastic things that are able to be recycled at a recycling center? First, workers make sure that each plastic is clean. After that, the plastic things are made into small pieces. At last, they are melted (熔化) and used to create new things. One of the commonly seen products is new plastic bottles. Recycled plastic can also be used to make clothes, pens, pencils, and building materials!

根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

【3】How much plastic can be reused according to Paragraph 3?

A．9%.

B．16%.

D．75%.

【4】Why can’t all the plastic things be recycled and reused?

A．Because they have more than a kind of plastic in them.

B．Because they aren’t put in the recycling bin.

25、Have you ever wondered why some people live long, but others don’t? Many scientists have studied the mysteries of a long life for years.

Thousands of studies support the idea that a long life is influenced by two major things.

Genetics（遗传） is a major influence. Some people’s bodies simply have special advantages. They have parents and grandparents who lived long lives. Their parents have passed on these positive genes to them. Howard Friedman is a health scientist. He wrote a book about living a long life. He says genetics explains about 1/3 of why people live to an old age.

The other major influence is basic health care. Good food, clean water and medical care all help a lot.

However, recently, scientists have found the way a person thinks about life can influence how long that person lives!

Many studies show that having a sense of purpose is important. For example, in Okinawa, Japan, plenty of people are over the age of 100.They have an idea called ikigai or life purpose. Scientists believe it’s one of the reasons why Okinawa has so many long﹣lived people.

Staying active is the second important personal quality. It’s not the same as doing difficult exercise. Instead, it’s the most important to remain active in a natural way, doing something you enjoy.

Another quality is helping people.Feeling loved makes people feel good. However, loving and caring for others makes people live longer.

The final one is conscientiousness（尽责）.Conscientious people are responsible. They plan for things and think about details. Some people believe being conscientious means living a boring life. However, the opposite is true.

People cannot change their genes. And it’s difficult to improve a whole community’s health care system. However, the new research results show there are things each of us can do to help improve how long we live.

【1】Why does the writer mention Howard Friedman in Paragraph 3?

A．To introduce a really great health scientist to us.

B．To encourage us to read his book about living a long life.

C．To describe how parents pass on positive genes to children.

D．To show genetics influences how long a person lives greatly.

【2】According to the passage, people can live longer by _______.

a. being active b. feeling loved c. being conscientious d. giving others a hand

e. having their life purpose

A．acde

B．abce

C．abcde

D．abde

【3】What do the underlined words “the opposite” mean?

A．Being conscientious means leading a long life.

B．Conscientious people usually prepare for everything well.

C．Conscientious people have an exciting and interesting life.

D．Conscientiousness is the most necessary quality for living a long life.

26、“Depend on yourself” is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. Others still can help you. But all these only help you to help yourself.

There have been many great men in history. But many of them were very poor in childhood, and had no uncles, aunts or friends to help them. They couldn’t depend on them for education.

They saw how it was, and began to work with their efforts. To know something, they worked their own way up to fame (荣誉).

One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupil, “I can’t make worthy men of you, but I can help you make men of yourselves.”

Some young men are the best in anything, and they are so be pitied (值得同情的). They can never do things successfully if they don’t see their weak points and change their courses (方法). They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as they live if they don’t follow the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on their own efforts.

27、Because of the history of Hong Kong, the city is influenced by a blend(混合) of Eastern and Western cultures. As a result, the people in Hong Kong celebrate some traditional Chinese festivals as well as some important Western festivals.

There are altogether 17 days’ public holidays each year, on which days the workers of banks, educational institutions(机构), social institutions and government departments are free from work.
