21、 I always pictured myself graduating from college, getting a cool job and even having a cute little place of my own. So far, I have a master's degree and the coolest job ever as a physician assistant. But instead of waking up in a pretty apartment, I hear the earlymorning sound of my parents making coffee downstairs.
At 27, I still live with my parents, and I love it.
My decision to live at home was not one of absolute necessity. As a physician assistant, I make a good salary and would be able to live on my own comfortably if I needed to do so. By the time I finished graduate school, I had had a D|S150,000 debt from both undergraduate and graduate education. With several of these loans earning a 7.9% interest rate, my father calculated that my loans were increasing by D|S15 a day in interest alone. At this rate, it would take me 30 years to pay off my student loans, with much of the payment going straight to interest. At last, I decided to live with my parents.
Beyond the endless supply of homecooked meals, the best thing about moving back home is that I am not alone. Several of my physician assistant friends are in the same boat as I am — we are all highly educated, whitecollar employees who live at home. Our coworkers in the medical field think it is a great idea because many of them are facing the same piles of debt. They often say if they could do it all again, they would do the same thing.
There's a stigma (耻辱) that comes along with this arrangement. Some people might assume that we are too lazy to find a job. I don't think my neighbors understand it, as they continually ask me when I am going to graduate and if I am old enough to look after their children. My mom just tells them that I'm successful, welleducated and that I save lives.
I love living at home. Now I've paid off D|S68,000 of my student loans. Our new relationship is symbiotic (共生的). My parents benefit from having an extra set of hands around the house to help with housework and a constant source to explain all popculture references.
【1】The author once imagined ________.
A．having her own beautiful house
B．having her parents pay off her loans
C．living with her parents after graduation
D．always being taken care of by her parents
【2】Why did the author decide to live with her parents?
A．Because she missed them very much.
B．Because she couldn't cook by herself.
C．Because she needed to repay a huge debt.
D．Because she was not able to support herself.
【3】What is the author's coworkers' attitude towards her living with her parents?
A．Critical.
B．Approving.
C．Doubtful.
D．Uninterested.
【4】The author's neighbors ask her to look after their kids mainly because ________.
A．they know she is a helpful lady
B．they know she is welleducated
C．they think she doesn't have a job
D．they think she is popular with kids
22、4 Popular Places to Go This Winter
Harbin, China
China Harbin’s winter is for the brave ones — the average temperature is 1.8°F — but those who brave the cold will be rewarded with experiencing one of the world’s largest winter festivals. 2019 marks the 35th Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture (雕塑) Festival (January－March), when great frozen structures rise and are lit up, transforming the city into a winter wonderland.
Lyon, France
Paris may be called The City of Light, but every December, light takes center stage in Lyon, France’s thirdlargest city. That’s when the annual Festival of Lights (around December 8) takes over, with light installations ( 装 置 ) that transform the city’s street scenes into modern works of art. The city is also home to two Christmas markets (one in La CroixRousse; the other at the Place Carnot; through December 25).
Lima, Peru
Peru’s capital Lima is home to the world’s highest number of cooking schools per person. Aside from its wellknown dining, the city also has great cocktail bars where you can taste the Pisco Sour(皮斯科鸡尾酒). Combine that with the oceanfront setting and temperatures in the 80°F, and you’ll understand why Lima should no longer be ignored this winter.
Vermont, US
Winter in Vermont means skiing and snowboarding. Many resorts ( 度假胜地) have greatly upgraded their snowmaking abilities as part of a $15 million statewide program that replaced many outdated snow guns with new, lowenergy models. These new machines will also improve the quality of snow surfaces and lengthen the season, meaning this will be one of the best winters for skiing and riding in Vermont in recent memory.

23、One of Australia’s most famous natural gifts, the Great Barrier Reef is blessed with the breathtaking beauty of the world’s largest coral reef. The reef contains a large variety of life and over 3000 reef systems and hundreds of islands with some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. Because of its natural beauty, the Great Barrier Reef has become one of the world’s most sought after tourist attractions.
However, for the past few years, the news about corals has been discouraging. Currently, the reef is threatened by climate change, tourism, water pollution, and overfishing. Agricultural fertilizer(肥料) runoff from Australian farms also has caused the widespread growth of sea-plants, which absorb most of the nutrients(养分) and leave little remaining for the living coral reef and the animals that live in it. “What has changed is the increasing importance of climate change as a greater threat than the others,” says David Wachenfeld, a scientist of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority. Coral reefs are extremely sensitive(敏感的) to warming ocean temperatures.
In a report on April 28, the Australian government said it set aside $500 million to help protect corals. The money will be spent on reducing water pollution from agriculture, fighting coral-killing starfish, reef monitoring, and research on climate influence.
Though the Australian investment is welcome, it will at best only delay coral deaths. It’s too little, too late, as a leading coral-scientist Terry Hughes of James Cook University put it. The only way to save corals over the long term is to slow down climate change. That process will require all countries to work together to find the most effective way of cutting emissions (排放) of greenhouse gases.
The most recent emissions figures, however, show that the world is failing at that task. The year 2018 has seen an increase in global emissions. This week in Bonn, Germany, countries are meeting to discuss how to keep their word in the Paris climate agreement. Let’s hope they hear about the silent death of the world’s corals.
【1】Why does the author write the text?
A．To introduce the Great Barrier Reef.
B．To show the result of climate change.
C．To offer ways of protecting the Great Barrier Reef.
D．To tell us the serious situation of the Great Barrier Reef.
【2】What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
A．Sea-plants help to protect the coral reefs.
B．Water temperature has little to do with the coral reefs.
C．Climate change is the main reason for coral reefs’ death.
D．Agricultural fertilizer provides nutrients for coral reefs.
【3】According to Terry Hughes, the Australian investment in protecting the coral reefs was _______.
A．timely
B．unsatisfying
C．effective
D．useless
【4】How can we protect the Great Barrier Reef effectively in the long run?
A．By reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases.
B．By cutting down the number of tourists.
C．By setting more strict rules on overfishing.
D．By investing more in climate research.

25、 When a human infant is born into any other community in any part of the world, it has two things in common with any infant, provided neither of them has been damaged in any way either before or during birth.
Firstly, and most obviously, new born children are completely ________. Apart from a powerful capacity to draw attention on their helplessness by using sound, there is nothing the new born child can do to _________ his own survival. Without ________ from some other human being or beings, be it mother, grandmother, or human group, a child is very unlikely to survive. This helplessness of human infants is in marked contrast with the ________ of many new born animals to get to their _________ within minutes of birth and run with the herd within a few hours. Although young animals are certainly in ________, sometimes for weeks or even months after birth, compared with the human ________, they very quickly develop the capacity to_________ themselves. It is during this very long period in which the human infant is totally________ on the others that it reveals the second feature which it ________ with all other undamaged human infants, a capacity to learn ________.
For this reason, biologists now suggest that language is “species specific” to the human race, that is to say, they consider the human infant to be genetically _________ in such a way that it can _________ language. This suggestion implies that just as human beings are designed to see three-dimensionally and in color and just as they are designed to _________upright rather than to move on all fours, so they are designed to learn and use language as part of their normal ________ as well-formed human beings.
