Rising numbers of older adults are unable to care for themselves, often leading to serious health problems and even death, according to state and local government agencies. So-called self-neglect cases generally involve the inability to perform basic self-care, such as providing oneself with food, personal health, medication and safety.
Seniors who no longer drive, for instance, are often unable to get to medical appointments, worsening health problems that can make them unable to care for themselves. A fall can result in body injuries leaving one bedridden and unable to care for oneself. Failure to pay bills for public services could lead to service cutoffs. Forgetting to pay rent could lead to the loss of a home.
Mr. McCormack, 75 years old, and his wife, 71, both had mental illness and stayed in hospitals from time to time, unable to care for their possessions. Despite repeated visits to their home by local officials, the Mc-Cormacks declined assistance. But after they were found living in their car parked outside their house in December 2017, officials removed them from their home and helped them settle in a nursing home.
Self-neglect cases, like above, involved 144,296 people across the country in 2018, according to a report. The federal government doesn't have comparable data for previous years,
but several state and local service providers say they are seeing the self-neglect problem swell.
The reasons seniors stop caring for themselves vary, including illness, depression and poverty. The loss of the spouse or a neighbor who previously kept an eye on an individual often starts a decline into self-neglect, experts say. And the key to reducing self-neglect cases is providing services to enable seniors to remain in their homes safely, such as reliable transportation for medical appointments and shopping, as well as affordable home help.
24. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2 ?
A. Give examples of self-neglect cases. B. Provide some advice for seniors.
C. Summarize the previous paragraph. D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.
25. What do we know about the Mc-Cormacks?
A. They longed for help from others.
B. They took good care of themselves.
C. They couldn't afford to go to hospital.
D. They ended up living in the nursing house.
26. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Self-care Benefits Greatly the Seniors.
B. Self-Neglect Rises Among the Elderly.
C. Government's Encouragement on Self-care.
D. Many Years' Investigation on Self-Neglect.
27. What is the text most likely from?
A. A science fiction. B. A newspaper. C. A guidebook. D. A fairy tale.
C
For much of the 20th century, milk was a simple part of daily life in the U.S., as farmers raised cows, milkmen delivered bottles and children drank it at school. But those days are fading. On January 5 Borden Dairy, the milk processor with a cheery Elsie the cow on its label, announced to be filing for bankruptcy （破产）protection. Borden Dairy, which said it was affected by "market challenges facing the milk industry,", follows Dean Foods, America's largest milk producer, which filed for bankruptcy protection in November.
America has fallen out of love with drinking milk, as there are more lower-calorie options and people are preferring water bottles to milk cartons （盒子）.Americans each drank about 146 lb. of fluid milk-a category that includes products from skim to cream-in 2018, according to the
USDA's Economic Research Service. That may sound like a lot, but it's down 26% just since 2000.
The downturn has been tough on milk processors like Borden and Dean, which buy fresh milk from farms and use techniques to create a consumer-safe drink with a longer shelf life. For the past five years, thanks to technology that increased milk production, fresh-milk prices were relatively low, which meant processors could break even although there was shifting demand. But prices went up again last year, squeezing the processors' already tight profits. '"Declining sales in a business with small profit is not a good recipe for success/5 says Mark Stephenson, director of dairy policy analysis at the University of Wisconsin.
Milk processors are also facing competition from big retailers （零售商）,which have set up their own processing plants. In 2018, Walmart opened a milk-processing plant in Indiana to serve hundreds of stores in the Midwest, taking away approximately 95 million gal. of milk-processing business from Dean Foods.
28. What can we learn about American milk industry?
A. Consumers favor bottled milk.
B. Milk producers have cows on their labels.
C. Processed milk is losing its popularity.
D. Borden Dairy is the largest milk producer.
29. What does the underlined part "break even”，in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Have no loss. B. Upgrade technology.
C. Go bankrupt. D. Produce large quantities of goods.
30. What's Mark Stephenson's attitude towards the milk industry?
A. Positive. B. Concerned. C. Ambiguous. D. Prejudiced.
31. Why have some big retailers brought a challenge to milk processors?
A. They open stores abroad. B. They lower the price of milk.
C. They process milk by themselves. D. They won't offer fresh milk to processors.
D
Wandering the British Museum, you can see some of the finest objects ever created by human hands. But some of our most precious objects are things that were once thrown away. Today, they have become invaluable tools for learning about the past.
On display in Room 3, Disposable? exhibits a group of objects: finds from Staple Howe, a settlement sometime between 700 BC and 450 BC. These pot pieces, animal bones, and tools were cast aside when they were no longer useful. Thousands of years later they allow us to study the people who made, used, and threw them away. From Staple Howe's rubbish we know that its inhabitants were very resourceful: a broken pot was recycled to make a spindle whorl, and a razor has been heavily sharpened to lengthen its life.
The second half of the Disposable? displays the human impact of modem waste in the Pacific Island nations. Single-use products made from plastic are often thrown away poorly. This has led to almost eight million metric tons of plastic entering our oceans every year.
A simple yet technically beautiful yellow fishing basket made by Guam artist Guerrero highlights the plastic waste problem in the Pacific. For centuries, fishing baskets in Guam were made of coconut leaves but here Guerrero used plastic wrapping found on his local beach. While the basket is made using traditional techniques, the plastic wrapping is more durable than plant fibers. Guerrero has found a creative and practical way to give this single-use material a second life.
Communities across the Pacific are working together to fight the problem through re-purposing thrown — away items and banning some single-use plastic items. However, these local responses can by no means reduce the scale of the problem. The plastic crisis cannot be left to individuals or communities and will take a concerted international effort by governments across the globe.
If the rubbish from Staple Howe can help us build stories and details of people living in ancient Britain, what can today's plastic rubbish tell us about ourselves?
32. Why are the deserted objects in Staple Howe valuable?
A. They were created by hand. B. They were beautifully decorated.
C. They consist of precious materials. D. They bear information of life in the past.
33. In which way did Guerrero change the traditional fishing basket?
A. Material. B. Technique. C. Color. D. Wrapping.
34. The exhibition, Disposable? .
A. is displayed in two rooms
B. is held by Pacific communities
C. displays both ancient and modem items
D. shows Staple Howe's influence on Pacific communities
35. What does the writer suggest about the plastic crisis?
A. Leaving it to individuals.
B. Holding international concerts.
C. Local responses from Staple Howe.
D. A united effort by global governments.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。
When you underline and add notes to a text, when you ask yourself questions about its contents, you are establishing your understanding of what you are reading. 36. A summary is a record
or account of main points of a text. It forces a reader to understand the general idea of a piece rather than to just scan through each word and sentence written.
To summarize is to condense （压缩）a text to its main points and to do so in your own words. To include every detail is neither necessary nor desirable. 37 — the main idea and its
necessary supporting points, which in the original passage may have been mixed with less important material.
38 . They are not the same thing. An analysis is a discussion of ideas, techniques, and/or
meaning in a text. A summary, on the other hand, does not require you to respond to the ideas in a text.
If a text is organized in a linear （线性的）fashion, you may be able to write a summary simply by writing the major points in your words from the beginning of the text to the end. However, you should not assume that this will always be the case. 39 . They may not state the thesis or main
idea immediately at the beginning, but rather build up to it slowly, and they may introduce a point of development in one place and then return to it later in the text. 40 .
A. They are not shortened texts
B. Different writers give different ideas
C. Not all writers use such a straightforward structure
D. Instead, you should only cover the most important infomation
E. In these cases, you should reconstruct the text in an organized way
F. Many students make the mistake of confusing summary with analysis
G When you write a summary, you are showing your understanding of it
