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 early morning sound of my parents making coffee downstairs. At 27, I still live with my parents, and I love it.
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 ＄150,000 debt from both undergraduate and graduate education. My father calculated that my loans were increasing by ＄15 a day in interest (利息) alone. At this rate, it would take me 30 years to pay off my student loans. At last, I decided to live with my parents.
Several of my physician assistant friends are in the same boat as I am — we are all highly educated, white collar 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 think 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, well educated and that I save lives.
24. What did the author once dream to do before
A. Take care of her parents. B. Have her own beautiful house.
C. Make her parents pay for her living. D. Live with her parents after graduation.
25. Why did the author decide to live with her parents
A. She missed them very much. B. She couldn't cook by herself.
C. She needed to repay a huge debt. D. She was not ready to support herself.
26. What is the author's coworkers' attitude towards her living with her parents
A. Critical. B. Approving. C. Doubtful. D. Uninterested.
27. Why do the author's neighbors often ask her to look after their kids
A. She is a helpful lady. B. She is popular with kids.
C. They don’t think she has a job. D. They know she is well educated.
C
Two-thirds of the world population lives under conditions where the freshwater demand is more than twice the natural water availability for at least one month per year. According to official statistics, one billion of those live in India and 0.9 billion live in China. Other areas facing this problem for longer periods include Bangladesh (130 million people), the western and southern states of the USA (130 million), Pakistan (120 million), Nigeria (110 million), and Mexico (90 million).
Communities use a range of techniques to overcome this issue. In dry summers, those near the coast can desalinate (淡化) seawater, although the process requires a large amount of energy and expenditure. Some remote inland communities have alternative methods that suit their particular conditions. For example, many high-altitude Chilean communities in the Andes use fog collectors, specialized nets that can gather just a few liters a day.
Elsewhere, there’s another option available. Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a new device that passively harvests water from the air around the clock. The device is made up of a specially coated glass pane that reflects solar radiation and also radiates away its own heat. In doing so, it cools down by as much as 15 degrees Celsius below the surrounding temperatures. This difference in temperature between the air and the pane causes water vapor to condense (凝结) on its underside, which can then be easily collected.
Tests so far have been conducted on a university building in Zurich and suggest that the device can produce twice as much water per day as other passive water-collection technologies. Under ideal conditions, researchers harvested 0.53 decilitres of water per square metre of the surface per hour. “That’s close to the theoretical maximum value of 0.6 decilitres per hour, which is physically impossible to exceed,” says Iwan H chler, a doctoral student who is working on the technology.
The zero-energy input of the set-up could make it suitable for use in developing countries, particularly in remote communities where water scarcity is often combined with power shortages. The scientists are hopeful that the device could be used with other water-collection methods, such as desalination, to increase productivity.
28. What does the author want to tell us by mentioning official statistics in Paragraph 1
A. Fresh water insecurity is a global crisis.
B. Water resources are unevenly distributed globally.
C. Lack of water seriously restricts many countries’ growth.
D. Developed countries are better at handling water shortages.
29. Why is a coated glass pane used in the new device
A. To hold the condensed water.
B. To work as a cooling surface.
C. To get rid of harmful solar radiation.
D. To record the changes in temperature.
30. What can be inferred about the new device
A It produces satisfying outcomes.
It is limited to laboratory environments.
It has met with theoretical bottlenecks.
It needs further confirmation from experts.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. The explosive water demand throughout the world
B. The consequences of water scarcity for people’s life
C. A comparative analysis of water-collection methods
D. A zero-energy solution for harvesting water from the air
D
On an October morning in 2021, ornithologist (鸟类学家) Mark A. Michaels spotted a bird in a forest, which he first thought was a duck based on its size and long neck. But then he noticed it sometimes folding its wings during flight, something he says that ducks don’t do-but woodpeckers do. “Ivory-billed woodpecker (象牙喙啄木鸟)!” he shouted, certain that the bird was a species that hasn’t been clearly identified in the wild since 1944.
Michaels has had several possible ivory-bill encounters, but he couldn’t be fully certain. This sighting was different. “That was the first time I had been absolutely sure,” he says.
But not everyone agrees this woodpecker remains in the wild. In September 2021, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) put forward a ruling that would declare the ivory-billed woodpecker, along with 22 other species, extinct. However, the supportive data are debated. As a result, on July 6,2022, the agency gave the woodpecker an extension of six months before deciding whether to strip away its protected status (地位) as an existing endangered species.
This case highlights some challenges researchers face in determining whether a species has actually gone extinct. “It’s difficult to prove the absence of something,” says ecologist H. Resit Akcakaya, and so a lack of sightings is not necessarily evidence of extinction.
Moreover, there are costs to making the wrong call about a species’ existence in the wild. Continuing to classify (界定) an actually extinct species as endangered can misdirect financial resources away from protecting vulnerable (脆弱) species to searching for ones that no longer exist. On the other hand, declaring something extinct when it isn’t can do further harm to a struggling species. “If we think a species is extinct, we no longer have to protect it,” Akcakaya says, “and then it may actually go extinct.”
In the case of the ivory-billed woodpecker, Michaels could do nothing but await USFWS’s ruling. But he was glad that the agency gave the extension. “I’m personally one hundred percent sure that it’s out there,” says Michaels.
32. What can we learn about the ivory-billed woodpecker from the first paragraph
A. It was spotted many times.
B. It became extinct in 1944.
C. It looked a bit similar to a duck.
D. Its wings were always spread during flight.
33. What does the underlined phrase “strip away” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Confirm. B. Discuss. C. Create. D. Remove.
34. What do researchers find difficult when determining extinct species
A. Winning the trust of the public.
B. Providing proof of their extinction.
C. Deciding which species are valuable.
D. Getting financial support for the research.
35. What will happen if a species is believed to be extinct
A. New protection measures will be carried out.
B. There will be a huge waste of financial resources.
C. The protection of this species will come to an end.
D. Researchers will conduct further studies on this species.

W: Good afternoon, everyone. Today we`ve invited Mr. Wang to give us a speech about the Harbin Ice Festival.
M: Good afternoon, everyone. The Harbin Ice Festival is one of the world`s four largest ice and snow festivals, along with Japan`s Sapporo Snow Festival. Canada`s Quebec City Winter Carnival, and Norway`s Ski Festival.
The festival officially starts on January the 5th every year, but the locals begin to celebrate the festival in the third week of December of the previous year because most of the ice lanterns, ice and snow sculptures are completed by this time. Depending on the weather conditions and activities, the festival usually lasts until the end of February.
As early as the 1980s, the ice lanterns in Harbin were known about by many tourists from all over China. The unique snow and cultural activities have been the subject of the government`s attention. When government officers met tourists from Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau they found that their guests were very excited about Harbin`s ice lanterns, ice culture, winter activities and snow, and then they had an idea about holding an ice and snow festival to promote Harbin`s tourism. The officers came u with this idea in October 1983. after more than a year`s effort, their suggestion was accepted by both the Harbin Municipal Government and Heilongjiang Provincial Government. On January 5, 1985, the first Ice Lantern Show was declared open at Zhaoling Park.
