17、on ceremony five years ago, knowing that I was in the midst of one of the most important moments of my life, I was overwhelmed to tears. As I cast my cap into a sea of mortarboards（学位帽）, I felt reassured that I had done everything right. As time passed, though, I began to worry that there was someth
18、ing missing from those four years. While I was poring over（钻研；仔细阅读）notes, attending chapter meetings, and passing time in the newsroom of the college paper, my peers took semesters off to study in Barcelona, Paris, and Prague. Acutely focused on climbing the academic ladder, I witnessed other studen
19、ts who had participated in study abroad programs coming back to the states with a newfound thirst for different cultures and languages. Somehow I failed to see the value in all of it back then. After graduating, fellow young professionals who I met through work continued to rave about（醉心于）their time
20、 abroad even into their mid-to-late 20s. Im 27 years old now, and I left the country for the first time two years ago. The urge to explore hit me so hard that I quit my full-time job and spent the next 22 months traveling through three continents. I realized then how being immersed in different cult
21、ures is not just a fun experience, but its an essential step in better understanding the world. An eight-month stint in the mountains of New Zealand, for instance, opened my eyes to the tangible（可感知的）effects of climate change and my personal role in preventing it. A later journey through some of the
22、 most impoverished communities in Asia taught me the true value of money and what its like to live without it. I walked away from my travel experience with a much better knowledge of the world, one that will never be fully comprehensive but that could be deeper if I had started earlier. Today, I urg
23、e everyone who crosses my path to travel if they get the chance, and to do it as soon as possible, because experiencing other parts of the world is not just fun, but its a crucial part of education that simply cannot be learned through textbooks, lectures, or cramming for exams. 24.

26、emind readers to reflect on their life.B. To call on readers to travel abroad.C. To share some ways to better understand the world.D. To show readers the importance of getting ahead in college. CAfter you finish your fries, eat the ketchup packet. When you add your pasta to boiling water, toss the b
27、ag into the pot, too. If these instructions sound confusing to you, its only because you havent yet heard of Notpla, a London-based startup company that is designing a seaweed-based replacement for single-use plastic packaging. Notplas products are meant to be dissolved after use. Current offerings
28、include packet for condiments（调味料）, water and even alcohol; a film wrap for products in your bathroom, like toilet paper; and takeaway boxes that replace plastic-based coating with seaweed lining to make them fully biodegradable. Notpla design director Karlijn Sibbel says they look to nature as insp
29、iration “for the ideal packaging,” like the skin on a fruit. The approach feels especially relevant as the world is coming to terms with the effects of decades of unlimited plastic production. According to the UN, 331 million tons of plastic waste are produced globally each year, and about 60% has b
30、een discarded（丢弃）outdoors. Microplastics pollute the ocean, the air and our bodies. Notpls founders initially looked to seaweed as the solution to the worlds plastic problem because it is abundant, grows quickly, doesnt compete with land crops, and sequesters（隔离）carbon from the air, Sibbel explained
31、. There are also many different seaweed species, and it can be harvested or farmed. “Seaweed doesnt use land; it doesnt use pesticides,” Sibbel said. “It can grow into the ocean, where it actually has a lot of positive benefits so it can create new ecosystems for other organisms to thrive in.”“Our t
32、eam hopes seaweed could replace single-use plastic in the supply chain broadly,” Sibbel said. But with the volume of plastics used around the world, she understands the enormity（巨大）of such a task. “I dont think one material or one solution is going to solve everything, but we think that seaweed real

Which is NOT the reason for the companys founders turning to seaweed?A. It multiplies rapidly. B. It can be planted.C. It is pesticide-free. D. It can purify carbon. 31. Whi
35、ch word best describes Karlijn Sibbels attitude to the future use of seaweed?A. Doubtful. B. Ambiguous. C. Positive. D. Worried. DI met the last speaker of Naati on an empty beach on Malekula, an island in Vanuatu. I told the man, Ariep, that I was in the country to study one of its native languages
36、. When he learned I was a linguist（语言学家）, he excitedly shared that he speaks Naati. Ariep explained the relationship between Naati and the other languages of the area. With a mix of pride and sorrow, he revealed that he is the last fluent speaker of Naati. Although a few of his family members have s
37、ome knowledge of the language and make an effort to use it together, he fears that with his death, Naati will soon disappear. Naatis situation is not unique. Of the about 7000 languages spoken on the planet today, 50% to 90% are considered vulnerable（脆弱的）to extinction by the end of the century. Lang
38、uages are an invaluable source of culture. Understanding different languages is vital to understanding human cognition（认知）. A world with diverse languages benefits us all. Each language is a piece of the puzzle that we need in order to determine how language works in the mind. With each missing piec
39、e, we are further from seeing the full picture. There are enough commonalities among language systems. In terms of sentence structure, all languages use the three basic elements: subject, object, and verb. Although these can be ordered in different ways, about 80% of known languages put the subject
40、first, while only about 1% put the object first. Analyzing these patterns has real impacts for our lives. The more we understand about how language functions, the better equipped we are to improve our therapies for communication disorders. However, taking into account all languages is a huge challen
41、ge. Many languages are in danger of disappearing before they have been documented, taking with them irreplaceable information about human culture. For the sake of the speakers of endangered languages, for the sake of us all, we must preserve the worlds languages as we search for answers and work to
42、ensure language diversity for generations to come. 32. What do we know about Ariep?A. He is desperate to leave Malekula.B. He is good at speaking many foreign languages. C.

43、nly about?A. The influence of human cognition on languages. B. Means to break down language barriers.C. Reasons for the extinction of languages. D. The significance of language diversity. 34. Why does the author mention sentence structure in paragraph 4?A. To prove the link among different languages
44、. B. To analyze the methods of language teaching.C. To show the difficulty of learning grammar. D. To present the functions of language systems. 35. What is the best title of the text?A.

It doesnt matter how you reflect, just that you find time to pause in a crisis. 38 . Theres no right way to get
47、through a difficult time. Some people get super productive. Others, not so much. Thus, its important to let go of the pressure of others expectations and ignore messages like what you should do. Find your thing for the day. Once youve stopped focusing on what you should do, take time to recharge by
48、doing good, meaningful, even productive things. Maybe for you its baking a pie or organizing a closet. 39 . Dont try to make sense of things too soon. It can be tempting to rush through an uncertain situation and try to make it seem certainto leap ahead to what might be next or try to find reasons f
