A flight last month between Campinas and Sao Jose do Rio Preto in southern Brazil became the scene of a spontaneous act of kindness that spread on social media networks.
According to the website Aeroin net, a passenger named Sirlandia Dias Pereira was traveling with her son Caleb, who suffered from heart failure and had a heart murmur. During the flight she told the passenger next to her, Alex Pontes, that she was traveling so her son could be hospitalized. She also explained that she was relying on the charity of others for living quarters.
The passenger talked to the crew of the airline and asked to use the airplane’s loudspeaker, inviting the other travelers to contribute to a spontaneous collection to help the mother and her son. “All of us would like to find an angel to help us. Those of us who feel moved to do so, let’s help this mother to take a little something with her, a little something we have and can share.” he said.
In a matter of minutes, passengers offered a total worth near $400 which goes a lot further in Brazil than in the USA, plus applause for the mother, who was thrilled with the help and repeatedly expressed her gratitude to the passengers.
The site that first shared the story later updated the article, adding that Caleb went through surgery and was recovering well. The website Razoes Para Acreditar reported that the story caught the attention of Brazil in TV personality Luciano Huck, who started a crowd funding campaign to help the family.
This story just goes to show that a kind act can go a long way towards making an important difference in someone’s life. There are people in need all around us. Let’s not let these chances to help others pass us by!
24．Why was the mother traveling?
A．To get her sick son treated B．To look for living quarters
C．To change for a better life D．To pick up her son from hospital
25．What did Alex Pontes do for the mother on the plane?
A．He gave her $400 by himself B．He called for donation for her
C．He helped her find a hospital D．He helped her attend to her son
26．Why did Lauciano Huck decide to help the mother and her son?
A．He was one of the witnesses on the plane. B．He wanted to make them well-known.
C．He was inspired by the spontaneous act. D．He was asked to offer assistance by them.
27．What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A．To speak highly of a kind passenger. B．To ask us to communicate with others.
C．To show the importance of first aid. D．To encourage us to help those in need.

Last year, more than 130 million tons of single-use plastics were thrown away. Now, a new report finds that just 20 companies produced more than half of all single-use plastic waste worldwide.
The report, published Tuesday by Australia’s Mindoro Foundation, offers one of the fullest accounting of the companies behind the production of single-use plastics that researchers believe could account for as much as 10% of global greenhouse emissions by 2050. The study has further identified 20 companies as the source of 55% of the world’s single-use plastic waste in 2020, while the top 100 companies account for more than 90%.
The report also has studied the money invested (投资) in the production of single-use plastics. It finds that 20 biggest investors hold shares worth close to $ 300 billion in the single-use plastic producers. The top three investors are US-based Vanguard Group, Black Rock and Capital Group, which according to the report have an estimated $ 6 billion invested in the production of single-use plastics.
Since most plastic is made from oil and gas, the production and consumption of plastic is becoming a significant driver of the climate crisis. The report warns that in the next five years, the global capacity to produce the materials needed for single-use plastics could grow by more than 30%. And much of the resulting single-use plastic waste will end up as pollution in developing countries with poor plastic waste management systems, according to the report.
Solving the issue will require serious changes from producers, investors and banks, the authors write. The report says that producers of polymers—known as the building blocks of plastics—should begin disclosing their single-use plastic waste “footprint”, while banks and investors should entirely stop their financing, in stages, that goes toward the production of single-use plastics. In addition, search for more environment-friendly materials should be encouraged.
28．How much single-use plastic waste was produced by the top 20 companies in 2020?
A．About 13 million tons. B．About 65 million tons.
C．About 71.5 million tons. D．About 117 million tons.
29．Where are the top three investors from?
A．China. B．The UK. C．Australia. D．The US.
30．What does the fourth paragraph focus on?
A．The causes of the global warming. B．The potential harmful effects of plastic.
C．The materials used to produce plastic. D．The fast growth of the plastic waste.
31．Which measure is mentioned to reduce the plastic waste?
A．Plastic producers should pay for the waste.
B．Plastic waste can be exported to poor countries.
C．The production of single-use plastics should be stopped now.
D．More efforts are needed to replace plastics with other materials.
D
Climate change is already affecting water access for people around the world, causing more severe droughts and floods. Climate change impacts the water cycle by influencing when, where, and how much rain falls. It also leads to more severe weather events over time. Increasing global temperatures causes water to rise into the air in larger amounts, which will lead to higher levels of atmospheric water vapor and more frequent, heavy, and intense rains in the coming years.
Climate scientists predict that this shift will lead to more floods since more water will fall than vegetation and soil can absorb. The remaining water, or runoff, flows into nearby waterways, picking up contaminants like fertilizers (肥料) on the way. Too much runoff eventually travels to larger bodies of water like lakes, and the ocean, damaging the water supply and limiting water access for humans and ecosystems.
When fertilizers from farming wash into lakes and the ocean, they promote the rapid growth of algae (藻类). These resulting algal blooms fill coasts and waterways with clouds of green, blue-green, red, or brown algae. They block sunlight from reaching underwater life and reduce oxygen levels within the water. Poisons from the algae can kill off fish and other aquatic animals, make people sick, and even kill humans. These poisons are especially dangerous because they can survive rainfall processes, making tap water unfit to consume once contaminated. Algal blooms also impact industries that rely on the water for business, and often cause local waterfronts to shut down during blooms.
There are many things that everyone can do to lessen the impact of climate change. Some measures include growing your own fruits and vegetables or buying locally grown produce, since produce is often transported to grocery stores from far away by trucks, which add more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. You could also walk or ride a bike instead of driving a car.
32．What is a consequence of climate change according to paragraph 1?
A．Extreme weather. B．Water supply. C．Water cycle. D．Polluted atmosphere.
33．What does the underlined word “contaminants” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Nutrients. B．Soils. C．Pollutants. D．Organisms.
34．What does the author tell us to do in the last paragraph?
A．Master some ways to do farming work. B．Buy more foreign fruits and vegetables.
C．Have a regular exercise like walking. D．Form some habits of reducing carbon dioxide.
35．What’s the best title for the text?
A．Causes of Climate Change.
B．Harm Climate Change Does to Humans.
C．Impacts of Climate Change on Water Access.
D．Ways to Lessen the Impacts of Climate Change.

How to Improve Speed Reading Skills
Speed reading is one of many skills that can improve your reading comprehension and shorten your study time. ____36____
Look at groups of words, not single words.
____37____, then this will slow your reading speed down. However, if you can get into the habit of reading groups or chunks (大量) of words at onetime, then you can read much faster. Start by trying to look at a group of three or four words at once, then work up to looking at an entire line of works. Focus on words that give the sentence meaning, such as the nouns and verbs and pay less attention to the filler words, such as a, the, and, etc.
____38____
Scanning is a highly effective way of extracting answers from a text without really reading it. If you know exactly what you are looking for—a name, a date, a statistic, or a specific word—you can find it quickly by skipping over large chunks of the text. To scan, first visualize the word, number, or phrase you would like to find. ____39____The information you are looking for should pop out at you.
Race the clock.
You can train yourself to read faster by timing yourself as you go. Start by getting your base time. Set a timer (定时器) for fifteen minutes, and speed read as you normally do. ____40____, check to see how far you have got. Do not count the words, just the
