It’s bigger than Texas and growing. The way to clean it up now is to catch it with nets. That is both costly and slow. Instead, the Ocean Cleanup Project proposes a 62-mile-long floating barrier that would use natural currents to trap trash. If next year’s trials succeed, a full cleanup operation would aim to start in 2020. It could reduce the trash by 42 % over 10 years.Easy-On ShoesIn 2012, Matthew Walzer, a high school student with a disability, sent a note to Nike. “My dream is to go to college,” he wrote, “without having to worry about someone coming to tie my shoes every day.” Nike assigned a design team to the challenge. This year, they came out with their solution: the FlyEase. The basketball shoe can be fastened with one hand. A pair of Nike FlyEase shoes sells for $ 130.An Airport for Drones (无人机）As Amazon, Google, and others get ready for drone delivery service, there is one big question: What kinds of home bases will their drones have?

Sometimes I wondered, lying awake at night, how many hearts beat inside those walls. With all that lovely national park habitat protected for their use, why did the animals need to live in my house?My latest essay “The indoor wilds at outdoor parks,” revisits my experiences with wild (non-human!) roommates and officemates in Rocky Mountain National Park. At first, they were considered annoying but not dangerous. Attitudes changed dramatically when hantavirus (汉他病毒) came on the scene, and suddenly those cute, non-housebroken deer mice becamea threat. When I moved on to Canyonlands National Park, I found that every effort had been made to seal off my house from four-footed intruders (入侵者). These efforts mostly worked and later employees moved into new housing. But somehow a rat still managed to chew its way through the floor and drown itself in my toilet. I’m not even going to get started about my coworkers’ experiences with other much scarier animals.The Beaver Meadows Vistor Center in the story was designed by Tailiesin Associated Architects, Frank Lloyed Wright’s firm, after Wright’s death. Working there, I always thought the building was strange. I recently revisited the building while researching a children’s book I am writing about the park. I think I get it now, at least a little.4. What does the underlined word “their” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Some park visitors’.B. Endangered animals’.C. The author’s coworkers’.D. The author’s wild roommates’.5. Why did people show a change in attitude towards deer mice?A. Because a virus was spreading.B. Because people were hurt by them.C. Because people saw a really cute one.D. Because they protected people’s houses.6. What can we infer about the living conditions of the author’s coworkers?A. They were unknown to the author.B. They were acceptable to the author.C. They were no better than the author’s.D. They were much better than the author’s.7. After visiting the Beaver Meadows Vistor Center again, the author .A. could appreciate it betterB. finished a children’sbookC. did research on national parksD. knew it was designed by WrightCIncreasing numbers of airports, especially in Europe, are promoting a “silent airport”idea. It is to reduce noise pollution, such as airport-wide announcements, without sacrificing timely and helpful updates of information.International airports were once characterized by their high voices, competing gate announcements and so on.This is all changing.Angela Gittens, director general of Airports Council International (ACI), says there is a growing desire among airports and airlines they serve to “create a calm, relaxed atmosphere”without being disturbed by announcements.“Passengers can relax while they wait for their flight to board in the common airside lounges (休闲区), and food and drink areas,” she says.In June, Helsinki Airport in Finland — a country where the tourism slogan is “Silence, Please”— became the most recent airport to adopt the silent concept.As part of its commitment to quieting things down, announcements for flights are made only in boarding gate areas.Lost track of time in the shop?Too bad.Nobody’s going to call you to your flight, as announcements in all terminals will be made only in exceptional emergency circumstances.Heikki Koski, vice president of Helsinki Airport, says that improved flight information display systems and interactive kiosks (交互式自助服务机), together with advances in mobile technology, are changing the way airports communicate with passengers.At Munich Airport, InfoGate kiosks allow for video-based, face-to-face conversation with a live customer service representative in the traveler’s language of choice. Interactive signs, on the other hand, give directions at the touch of finger. Passengers can tap a “you are here” display to get directions and approximate walking times to their destinations.Of course, an airport will never be as silent as a temple.There will continue to be a need for airport-wide emergency announcements, along with boarding calls.But at silent airports, the latter can be restricted to specific gates, as has been adopted in Helsinki.8. What is Angela Gittens, opinion on the silent airport concept?A. It makes airport noise-free.B. It is intended for passengers’ benefit.C. It has changed international airports’ reputation.D. It has encouraged the catering industry in airports.9. What should passengers pay close attention to at Helsinki Airport?A. Their boarding time.B. Finland’s tourism slogan.C. The shops’ opening hours.D. The “you are here”display.10. Why is Munich Airport mentioned in the next?A. To show its popularity.B. To introduce InfoGate kiosks.C. To prove Heikki Koski’s words.D. To be compared with Helsinki Airport.二、完形填空（每题2分，共40分）That was my first ballet performance and I was the lead role. A huge black curtain 11 me from the crowd.

山西省晋中市和诚高中2018-2019学年高二英语周练试题（21）时间：60分钟总分100分一、阅读理解（每题4分，共40分）ABack in 2003 an 86-year-old man drove his Buick through a crowded farmers’ market. Nine people were killed. More than fifty-four people were hurt, fourteen with serious injuries. When he finally stopped, the 86-year-old man got out his car and screamed at people to get out of the way. No alcohol or drugs were found in his system. Apparently, he was just old and confused.This is a frightening accident, and it is not a rare one. There are many examples of elderly drivers driving into swimming pools, houses, storefronts, or worse.In our teenage years, we all heard “driving is not a right; it’s a privilege.” That is still true, and there comes an age when driving is no longer a privilege that can be allowed. After a certain age, eyesight and dementia(痴呆) are very serious concerns. Undoubtedly, these age-related problems affect some older adults’ driving ability. By the time a person is between eighty-five and ninety years old, his or her driving privilege should be examined.Licensing laws vary greatly from state to state, and it’s time for a national law on the maximum age limit for driving. The motivation for this law is safety. Another option is to start with laws that ban anyone over the age of eighty-five from driving after sundown, because driving conditions are not as safe as daylight hours. Still another option that may allow elderly drivers to continue driving could be new technology like a voice warning system that cautions drivers on busy streets or at traffic lights. Finally, since there are laws against driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, shouldn’t some prescription drugs also be included? The average age of 85-year-old is undoubtedly taking at least one prescription drug daily.The thought of an 86-year-old driver with failing eyesight running down the road in a two-ton piece of metal is unsettling to us all. Driving at an advanced age isnot only challenging for the elderly drivers, but also it’s dangerous for the rest of us.1. The first paragraph is written in order to show_________.A. the harm of driving at an old ageB. the importance of traffic safetyC. traffic accidents are on the riseD. many elderly drivers are careless2. The author suggests that there should be new laws against driving __________.A. over eighty-fiveB. between sunset and dawnC. with the help of voice warning systemsD. under the influence of prescription drugs3. The underlined word “unsettling” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “________”.A. disappointingB. worryingC. touchingD. interesting4. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. How to keep old people safe on the road?B. Are drivers well protected by licensing laws?C. Should there be an age limit for elderly drivers?D. Is driving a right or a privilege for an old person?BI first came across the concept of pay-what-you-can cafes last summer in Boone, N.C., where I ate at F.A.R.M (Feed All Regardless of Means) Café. You can volunteer to earn your meal, pay the suggested price($10) or less, or you can overpay—paying it forward for a future customer’s meal. My only regret after eating there was not having a chance to give my time. S o as soon as Healthy World Café opened in York in April, I signed up for a volunteer shift(轮班).F.A.R.M and Healthy World are part of a growing trend of community cafés. In 2003, Denise Cerreta opened the first in Salt Lake City. Cerreta now runs the One World Everybody Eats Foundation, helping others copy her pay-what-you can model.“I think the community café is truly a hand up, not a handout,” Cerreta said. She acknowledged that soup kitchens(施粥所) have a place in society, but people typically don’t feel good about going there.“One of the values of the community café is that we have another approach,” she said. “Everyone eats here, no one needs to know whether you volunteered, overpaid or underpaid.”The successful cafés not only address hunger and food i nsecurity but also become necessary parts of their neighborhood –whether it’s a place to learn skills or hear live music. Some teach cooking to seniors; some offer free used books. Eating or working there is a reminder that we are all in this world together.My 10 am---1pm shift at World-Healthy-Café began with the café manager – one of the two paid staff members. Our volunteer crew wasn’t the most orderly, but we managed to prepare and serve meals with a lot of laughs in between. At the end of my shift, I ordered my earned meal at the counter, together with other volunteers. After lunch, I walked out the door, with a handful of new friends, music in my head and a satisfied belly and heart.5. What is the advantage of community cafés compared with soup kitc hens?A. People can have free food.B. People can maintain their dignity.C. People can stay as long as they like.D. People can find their places in society.6. Why are community cafés becoming popular in the neighborhoods?A. They bring people true friendships.B. They help to bring people together.C. They create a lot of job opportunities.D.They support local economic development.7. How did the author feel about working at Healthy World Café?A. It paid well.B. It changed her.C. It was beneficial.D. It was easy for her.CWe took a rare family road trip to the Adirondacks in late August，and it wasas refreshing and exhausting as family vacations tend to be．Toward the end of our long drive home, even the kids were leaning forward in their seats urging my lead foot on．At that point in a road trip，even sixty-five miles per hour feels slow. We have become numb to our speed and numb to the road signs flashing by.My family lives on the edge of Lancaster County. Only thirty miles from home，I hit the brakes，and we began to roll，slowly，behind a horse-drawn carriage. We began to open our eyes again．We saw familiar green hills and the farm with the best watermelons. I rolled down the windows, and we breathed again．Just-cut hay and a barn full of dairy cattle．At five miles per hour，you remember what you forget at sixty-five．You are thinking about a place，even when you are moving from place to place．I am a placemaker. A homemaker, too. I am a mother of a young kid at home，and also a writer and a gardener．But，for me，those roles are wrapped up with the one big thing I want to do with the rest of my life：I want to cultivate a place and share it with others．The place I make with my family is a red-brick farmhouse built in l880. It has quite a few nineteenth-century bedrooms and a few acres of land，and we love nothing more than to fill them with neighbors and friends. We grow vegetables and flowers，keep a baker’s dozen of egg—laying chickens，and，since we moved in three years ago，we have planted many，many trees．Living with my life’s purpose does not allow for much travel. I need to be here，feeding the chickens and watering the tomatoes. Any extra in the budget，and we spend it on trees．But I learned something at the end of our family road trip．Travel can help me in the task of caring for my own place．When I slow down and pay attention to the road between here and there，travel tells me the connections between my place and all the other places．8．What does the author try to express in the first paragraph?A．The tiredness of her past family life． B．Her disappointment at the family road trip．C．The family’s eagerness to return home．D．Kids’excitement at driving fast on the road．9．Why did the author slow her car some miles from her home?A．Because she made a way for a horse-drawn carriage．B．Because she enjoyed the scenery along the road．C．Because she needed a break after the long drive．D．Because she wanted to get rid of a fast-paced life．10．What can be the best title of the passage?A．On the Way Home B．Never Travel againC．Escape from a Family Life D．Life on the Farm二、完形填空（每题2分，共40分）In the week before Christmas, one Delta airlines pilot gave a sad Arizona family a gift that no one else could.Father of three, Jay short died after a ___11_with lung cancer Dec, 16th.

It began ordinarily enough, “How do you like driving a cab?”“It’s OK,” I said. “I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes. How about you?” However, his reply intrigued me.“I would not change jobs even if I could make twice as much money by doing something else.”I’d never heard that before. “What do you do?”“I’m in the neurology (神经学) department at New York Hospital.”Then I decided to ask for this man’s help. We were not far from the airport.“Could I ask you a big favor? I have a son, 15, a good kid. He wants a part-time job, but a 15-year-old can’t get hired easily. Is there any possibility that you could get him some kind of summer job?”He didn't respond for a while. Finally, he said, “Well, the medical students have a summer research project. Maybe he could fit in. Have him send me his school record.” I tore off a piece of my brown lunch bag, and he wrote his name and number on it and paid me. It was the last time I had ever seen him.After I nagged (唠叨), yelled, and finally threatened to cut off his pocket money, my son Robert sent off his grades to the guy the next morning.Two weeks later, when I arrived home from work, my son was excited. He handed me a letter from my passenger, saying he was to call my passenger’s secretary for an interview.Robert got the job. He did minor tasks, unpaid, but he fitted in well. The following summer, he worked at the hospital again with more responsibility. As high school graduation neared, Dr Plum was kind enough to write letters of recommendation for Robert and he was accepted by Brown University. Finally, Dr Robert Stern, the son of a taxicab driver, became the chief resident (首席住院医师) at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center.Some might call it fate, and I guess it is. But it shows that something as ordinary as a taxi ride can change your life.1．What does the underlined word “intrigued” in the second paragra ph mean?A．Interest. B．Confuse.C．Benefit. D．Challenge.2．After the author got the passenger’s information, he ____________.A．helped his son get the summer job immediatelyB．found his son wasn’t interested in getting a summer jobC．had difficulty persuading his son to send his school recordD．asked for the passenger’s help more than once3．What can we learn according to the last two paragraphs?A．Robert was paid well for his hard work in the summer job.B．Robert achieved little progress during his summer job.C．The small summer job led to Robert’s career.D．Robert became a doctor in Dr Plum’s hospital.4．The author develops the article mainly by ________.A．providing examples B．following the natural time orderC．making comparisons D．presenting causes and effects二、阅读七选五（共5小题，每题2分，共10分）French Universities to Offer More Classes in EnglishFrance aims to bring more foreign students to its universities by offering more classes taught in English.France is home to famous universities like the Sorbonne in Paris and several leading business schools. __5__ But it ranks(排名) behind the US, Britain and Australia in the total number of foreign students who study there.__6__ The country has seen increased competition from Germany, Russia, Canada and China. Under the new plan, France will ease student visa requirements. __7__ Starting next March, foreigners who have earned a French master's degree will be able to receive a residence visa(居留签证).

山西省晋中市和诚高中2020-2021学年高二英语上学期周练试题（8.29）考试时间：60分钟满分：150分一、阅读理解（5*4分=20分）Foreign visitors to the UK might be disappointed when they learn that not everyone there speaks like Harry Potter and his friends. Usually, there’s an assumption (假设)by many non-Brits that everyone in Br itain speaks withwhat’s known as the Received Pronunciation (RP)(标准发音)accent,alsocalled “the Queen’s English” . However,while many people do talk this way, most Britons speak with their own regional accents.Scouse, Glaswegian and the Black Country dialect — from Liverpool, Glasgow and the West Midlands — are just three of the countless non-RP accents that British people speak with. There are even differences in accents between towns or cities just 30 kilometers apart. What is even more disappointing is that not speaking with the RP accent may mean a British person is judged and even treated differently in their everyday life.In a 2015 study by the University of South Wales, videos of people reading a passage with three different UK accents were shown to a second group of people. The group then rated how intelligent they thought the readers sounded. The lowest-rated accent was the Brummie dialect, native to people from Birmingham, a city whose accent is considered the working class.However,there is no need to be disappointed though you are not speaking with the RP accent. In fact, doing the opposite may even give you strengths.Kong Seong-jae, 25, is an Internet celebrity from Seoul. After studying in the UK, he picked up severa l regional accents. He’s now famous for his online videos, where he shows off the various accents he’s learned. “British people usually get really excited when I use some of their local dialect words, and they become much friendlier. I think it makes a bit of a bond (联系)between local people and foreigners to speak with their local accent,” he said.So if you’re working on perfecting your British accent,try to speak like someone from Liverpool, Glasgow or Birmingham. You may not sound like Harry Potter, but you are likely to make more friends.1.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A.Only “the Queen’s English” is accepted in the UK.B.Many non-Brits usually hold that all Britons speak with the RP accent.C.Foreign visitors are disappointed at their own spoken English.D.Any standard English around the world is also called “the Queen English” .2.What do people think of the Brummie accent?A.Closest to the RP accent.B.Spoken by people of low social status.C.Easy to understand.D.Favored by foreign visitors to the UK.3.What does the underlined phrase , “doing the opposite” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.Speaking with regional accents.B.Speaking with the RP accent.C.Speaking the Brummie dialect.D.Speaking like Harry Potter.4.What is the passage mainly about?A.How much British people value the RP accent.B.A comparison between different British accents.C.The impact of regional accents on people’s lives.D.A study about the most intelligent accent in Britain.二、完形填空。

It began ordinarily enough, “How do you like driving a cab?”“It’s OK,” I said. “I make a living and meet int eresting people sometimes. How about you?” However, his reply intrigued me.“I would not change jobs even if I could make twice as much money by doing something else.”I’d never heard that before. “What do you do?”“I’m in the neurology (神经学) department at New York Hospital.”Then I decided to ask for this man’s help. We were not far from the airport.“Could I ask you a big favor? I have a son, 15, a good kid. He wants a part-time job, but a 15-year-old can’t get hired easily. Is there any possibility that you could get him some kind of summer job?”He didn't respond for a while. Finally, he said, “Well, the medical students have a summer research project. Maybe he could fit in. Have him send me his school record.” I tore off a piece of my brown lunch bag, and he wrote his name and number on it and paid me. It was the last time I had ever seen him.After I nagged (唠叨), yelled, and finally threatened to cut off his pocket money, my son Robert sent off his grades to the guy the next morning.Two weeks later, when I arrived home from work, my son was excited. He handed me a letter from my passenger, saying he was to call my passenger’s secretary for an interview.Robert got the job. He did minor tasks, unpaid, but he fitted in well. The following summer, he worked at the hospital again with more responsibility. As high school graduation neared, Dr Plum was kind enough to write letters of recommendation for Robert and he was accepted by Brown University. Finally, Dr Robert Stern, the son of a taxicab driver, became the chief resident (首席住院医师) at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center.Some might call it fate, and I guess it is. But it shows that something as ordinary as a taxi ride can change your life.1．What does the underlined word “intrigued” in the second paragraph mean?A．Interest. B．Confuse.C． Benefit. D．Challenge.2．After the author got the passenger’s information, he ____________.A．helped his son get the summer job immediatelyB．found his son wasn’t interested in getting a summer job C．had difficulty persuading his son to send his school record D．asked for the passenger’s help more than once3．What can we learn according to the last two paragraphs?A．Robert was paid well for his hard work in the summer job.B．Robert achieved little progress during his summer job.C．The small summer job led to Robert’s career.D．Robert became a doctor in Dr Plum’s hospital.4．The author develops the article mainly by ________.A．providing examples B．following the natural time orderC．making comparisons D．presenting causes and effects二、阅读七选五（共5小题，每题2分，共10分）French Universities to Offer More Classes in EnglishFrance aims to bring more foreign students to its universities by offering more classes taught in English.France is home to famous universities like the Sorbonne in Paris and several leading business schools. __5__ But it ranks(排名) behind the US, Britain and Australia in the total number of foreign students who study there.__6__ The country has seen increased competition from Germany, Russia, Canada and China.Under the new plan, France will ease student visa requirements. __7__ Starting next March, foreigners who have earned a French master's degree will be able to receive a residence visa(居留签证).

山西省晋中市和诚高中2018-2019学年高二英语周练试题（5.18）时间：60分钟总分100分出题人：一、阅读理解（每题4分，共40分）AThe Coolest InventionsAn Oceans VacuumThere’s a collection of plastic trash in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It’s bigger than Texas and growing. The way to clean it up now is to catch it with nets. That is both costly and slow. Instead, the Ocean Cleanup Project proposes a 62-mile-long floating barrier that would use natural currents to trap trash. If next year’s trials succeed, a full cleanup operation would aim to start i n 2020. It could reduce the trash by 42 % over 10 years.Easy-On ShoesIn 2012, Matthew Walzer, a high school student with a disability, sent a note to Nike. “My dream is to go to college,” he wrote, “without having to worry about someone coming to tie my shoes every day.” Nike assigned a design team to the challenge. This year, they came out with their solution: the FlyEase. The basketball shoe can be fastened with one hand. A pair of Nike FlyEase shoes sells for $ 130.An Airport for Drones (无人机）As Amazon, Google, and others get ready for drone delivery service, there is one big question: What kinds of home bases will their drones have?

Sometimes I wondered, lying awake at night, how many hearts beat inside those walls. With all that lovely national park habitat protected for their use, why did the animals need to live in my house?My latest essay “The indoor wilds at outdoor parks,” revisits my experiences with wild (non-human!) roommates and officemates in Rocky Mountain National Park. At first, they were considered annoying but not dangerous. Attitudes changed dramatically when hantavirus (汉他病毒) came on the scene, and suddenly those cute, non-housebroken deer mice became a threat. When I moved on to Canyonlands National Park, I found that every effort had been made to seal off my house from four-footed intruders (入侵者). These efforts mostly worked and later employees moved into new housing. But somehow a rat still managed to chew its way through the floor and drown i tself in my toilet. I’m not even going to get started about my coworkers’ experiences with other much scarier animals.The Beaver Meadows Vistor Center in the story was designed by Tailiesin Associated Architects, Frank Lloyed Wright’s firm, after Wright’s death. Working there, I always thought the building was strange. I recently revisited the building while researching a children’s book I am writing about the park. I think I get it now, at least a little.4. What does the underlined word “their” in Paragr aph 1 refer to?A. Some park visitors’.B. Endangered animals’.C. The author’s coworkers’.D. The author’s wild roommates’.5. Why did people show a change in attitude towards deer mice?A. Because a virus was spreading.B. Because people were hurt by them.C. Because people saw a really cute one.D. Because they protected people’s houses.6. What can we infer about the living conditions of the author’s coworkers?A. They were unknown to the author.B. They were acceptable to the author.C. They were no better than the author’s.D. They were much better than the author’s.7. After visiting the Beaver Meadows Vistor Center again, the author .A. could appreciate it betterB. finished a children’s bookC. did research on national parksD. knew it was designed by WrightCIncreasing numbers of airports, especially in Europe, are promoting a “silent airport” idea. It is to reduce noise pollution, such as airport-wide announcements, without sacrificing timely and helpful updates of information.International airports were once characterized by their high voices, competing gate announcements and so on.This is all changing.Angela Gittens, director general of Airports Council International (ACI), says there is a growing desire among airport s and airlines they serve to “create a calm, relaxed atmosphere” without being disturbed by announcements.“Passengers can relax while they wait for their flight to board in the common airside lounges (休闲区), and food and drink areas,” she says.In June, Helsinki Airport in Finland — a country where the tourism slogan is “Silence, Please” — became the most recent airport to adopt the silent concept.As part of its commitment to quieting things down, announcements for flights are made only in boarding gate areas.Lost track of time in the shop?Too bad.Nobody’s going to call you to your flight, as announcements i n all terminals will be made only in exceptional emergency circumstances.Heikki Koski, vice president of Helsinki Airport, says that improved flight information display systems and interactive kiosks (交互式自助服务机), together with advances in mobile technology, are changing the way airports communicate with passengers.At Munich Airport, InfoGate kiosks allow for video-based, face-to-faceconversation with a live customer service representative in the traveler’s language of choice. Interactive signs, on the other hand, give directions at the touch of finger. Passengers can tap a “you are here” display to get dire ctions and approximate walking times to their destinations.Of course, an airport will never be as silent as a temple.There will continue to be a need for airport-wide emergency announcements, along with boarding calls.But at silent airports, the latter can be restricted to specific gates, as has been adopted in Helsinki.8. What is Angela Gittens, opinion on the silent airport concept?A. It makes airport noise-free.B. It is intended for passengers’ benefit.C. It has changed international airports’ rep utation.D. It has encouraged the catering industry in airports.9. What should passengers pay close attention to at Helsinki Airport?A. Their boarding time.B. Finland’s tourism slogan.C. The shops’ opening hours.D. The “you are here” display.10. Why is Munich Airport mentioned in the next?A. To show its popularity.B. To introduce InfoGate kiosks.C. To prove Heikki Koski’s words.D. To be compared with Helsinki Airport.二、完形填空（每题2分，共40分）That was my first ballet performance and I was the lead role. A huge black curtain11 me from the crowd.

Usually, there’s an assumption (假设)by many non-Brits that everyone in Br itain speaks with what’s known as the Received Pronunciation (RP)(标准发音)accent,also called “the Queen’s English” . However,while many people do talk this way, most Britons speak with their own regional accents.Scouse, Glaswegian and the Black Country dialect — from Liverpool, Glasgow and the West Midlands — are just three of the countless non-RP accents that British people speak with. There are even differences in accents between towns or cities just 30 kilometers apart. What is even more disappointing is that not speaking with the RP accent may mean a British person is judged and even treated differently in their everyday life.In a 2015 study by the University of South Wales, videos of people reading a passage with three different UK accents were shown to a second group of people. The group then rated how intelligent they thought the readers sounded. The lowest-rated accent was the Brummie dialect, native to people from Birmingham, a city whose accent is considered the working class.However,there is no need to be disappointed though you are not speaking with the RP accent. In fact, doing the opposite may even give you strengths.Kong Seong-jae, 25, is an Internet celebrity from Seoul. After studying in the UK, he picked up several regional accents. He’s now famous for his online videos, where he shows off the various accents he’s learned. “British people usually get really excited when I use some of their local dialect words, and they become much friendlier.I think it makes a bit of a bond (联系)between local people and foreigners to speak with their local accent,” he said.So if you’re working on perfecting your British accent,try to speak like someone from Liverpool, Glasgow or Birmingham. You may not sound like Harry Potter, but you are likely to make more friends.1.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A.Only “the Queen’s English” is accepted in the UK.B.Many non-Brits usually hold that all Britons speak with the RP accent.C.Foreign visitors are disappointed at their own spoken English.D.Any standard English around the world is also called “the Queen English” .2.What do people think of the Brummie accent?A.Closest to the RP accent.B.Spoken by people of low social status.C.Easy to understand.D.Favored by foreign visitors to the UK.3.What does the underlined phrase , “doing the opposite” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.Speaking with regional accents.B.Speaking with the RP accent.C.Speaking the Brummie dialect.D.Speaking like Harry Potter.4.What is the passage mainly about?A.How much British people value the RP accent.B.A comparison between different British accents.C.The impact of regional accents on people’s lives.D.A study about the most intelligent accent in Britain.二、完形填空。

It began ordinarily enough, “How do you like driving a cab?”“It’s OK,” I said. “I make a living and meet interesting peo ple sometimes. How about you?” However, his reply intrigued me.“I would not change jobs even if I could make twice as much money by doing something else.”I’d never heard that before. “What do you do?”“I’m in the neurology (神经学) department at New York Ho spital.”Then I decided to ask for this man’s help. We were not far from the airport.“Could I ask you a big favor? I have a son, 15, a good kid. He wants a part-time job, but a 15-year-old can’t get hired easily. Is there any possibility that you could ge t him some kind of summer job?”He didn't respond for a while. Finally, he said, “Well, the medical students have a summer research project. Maybe he could fit in. Have him send me his school record.”I tore off a piece of my brown lunch bag, and he wrote his name and number on it and paid me. It was the last time I had ever seen him.After I nagged (唠叨), yelled, and finally threatened to cut off his pocket money, my son Robert sent off his grades to the guy the next morning.Two weeks later, when I arrived home from work, my son was excited. He handed me a letter from my passenger, saying he was to call my passenger’s secretary for an interview.Robert got the job. He did minor tasks, unpaid, but he fitted in well. The following summer, he worked at the hospital again with more responsibility. As high school graduation neared, Dr Plum was kind enough to write letters of recommendation for Robert and he was accepted by Brown University. Finally, Dr Robert Stern, the son of a taxicab driver, became the chief resident (首席住院医师) at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center.Some might call it fate, and I guess it is. But it shows that something as ordinary as a taxi ride can change your life.1．What does the underlined word “intrigued” in the second paragraph mean?A．Interest. B．Confuse.C． Benefit. D．Challenge.2．After the author got the passenger’s information, he ____________.A．helped his son get the summer job immediatelyB．found his son wasn’t interested in getting a summer jobC．had difficulty persuading his son to send his school recordD．asked for the passenger’s help more than once3．What can we learn according to the last two paragraphs?A．Robert was paid well for his hard work in the summer job.B．Robert achieved little progress during his summer job.C．The small summer job led to Robert’s career.D．Robert became a doctor in Dr Plum’s hospital.4．The author develops the article mainly by ________.A．providing examples B．following the natural time order C．making comparisons D．presenting causes and effects二、阅读七选五（共5小题，每题2分，共10分）French Universities to Offer More Classes in English France aims to bring more foreign students to its universities by offering more classes taught in English.France is home to famous universities like the Sorbonne in Paris and several leading business schools. __5__ But it ranks(排名) behind the US, Britain and Australia in the total number of foreign students who study there.__6__ The country has seen increased competition from Germany, Russia, Canada and China.Under the new plan, France will ease student visa requirements. __7__ Starting next March, foreigners who have earned a French master's degree will be able to receive a residence visa(居留签证).
