My own voice reflected my family’s past and present, all southern. While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and uneducated, ignorant and narrow-minded. In that awkward stage between teenager and adult, my accent was a symbol of everything I hated about my life in the rural South.The process of getting rid of my accent began in high school with Gilmore Girls. After each episode, I’d stand before a mirror, practicing the characters’ lines in an effort to speak like a “normal” white upper-middle-class girl. Eventually, I was successful at breaking down my tongue and rebuilding it. Every time I was asked where I was from, I would say “near Memphis” or make an ambiguous statement about my country background.Now I’m living in a big city with a respectable job downtown. Every step I walk from the train station to the office se ems victorious. However, I’ve been pretending and I’m fed up with it. Occasionally my old self escapes from my lips when encouraged by an extra glass of whiskey, but I unconsciously go back to the safety of the unaccented minutes later, making me feel as i f I’m a fraud —a girl who forgets where she comes from. Then gradually I’ve become kind of homesick that leads me to put on the old Highwomen record and dance around, singing with all the accents I’ve got left.My grandmother used to tell me, “Girl, don’t you forget where you come from?” Memories are fading by time but this one has remained impressed on my mind. So, I decide to move back. I’m still searching for what it means to be southern, but now I’m doing it with all the “y’alls”, and “ain’ts” I’ve ke pt back for so long.4. Why did the author decide to get rid of her southern accent?A.Because she got uneducated.B.Because she was misled by prejudice.C.Because it reflected her shameful past.D.Because it made her laughed at by others.5. What’s th e main idea of Paragraph 3?A.The author learnt the language well.B.The author finally succeeded in big cities.C.The author made a white upper class girl.D.The author managed to rebuild her accent.6. What contributed most to the author’s return to her southern accent?A.Her over-drinking. B.Her boredom of pretending.C.Her homesickness. D.Her grandmother’s words.7. What message does the passage want to convey?A.Stay true to yourself.B.Everyone has his own secret.C.God helps those who help themselves.D.There’s always a silver lining in the cloud.Not too long ago, 41-year-old Garrett Fisher flew a small airplane close to the surface of the largest glacier in Norway. In that environment, the plane carrying a man who pursues glaciers seemed almost like a toy. Fisher is trying to photograph every glacier on Earth before some of them disappear.Scientists say many glaciers are getting smaller because Earth’s average temperature is increasing. Information from the European Environment Agency, or EEA, says glaciers in the Alps have lost about half of their volume since 1900 and that by 2100, the size of European glaciers could decrease by between 22 percent and 84 percent. Historical records of the size of glaciers in Europe also show that glaciers are now shrinking faster. This has pushed Fisher to combine his love of flying and photography to photograph Earth’s remaining glaciers before it’s too late.Fisher believes his photographs can be of great value to future generations. So, he has launched the Global Glacier Initiative, a non-profit group to support and show his work. He plans to open his photos to the public for research.Fisher flew a small plane that has a smell of oil and feels like an old car. It was his choice to have the dangerous flying. “The weather is bad and the flying is technically challenging, ”Fisher said. Some people would ask, “Why risk flying over glaciers when satellites have a lready given pictures of them?” Fisher said that satellite images don’t catch the beauty of glaciers the way his photos can. His photos show the colors, shapes, and shadows as the light from the sun hits the glaciers.Fisher has paid for his glacier photography with his own money. But it is costly. Money is running out and Fisher is looking for people who will help support his work. He hopes his photos will be a reminder to people. He is trying to obtain the perfect image, which is so beautiful that it can make people and policymakers act.8. What caused Fisher to combine flying and photography?A.The request from the EEA.B.The beauty of Earth’s glaciers.C.The crisis of disappearing glaciers.D.The need to enrich glacier records.9. Why did Fisher launch the Global Glacier Initiative?A.To carry out research on glaciers.B.To make his photos publicly available.C.To record the size of European glaciers.D.To attract more glacier enthusiasts.10. Which words can best describe Fisher?A.Adventurous and determined. B.Optimistic and generous.C.Creative and thoughtful. D.Brave and patient.11. What’s Fisher’s expectation of his photos?A.Bringing him some financial support.B.Being recognized by policymakers.C.Strengthening the human-nature bond.D.Raising people’s concern for glaciers.Traditionally, it has been assumed that cultivating food leads to a loss of biodiversity and negative impacts on an ecosystem. In a recent study, researchers looked at 28 urban community gardens across California over five years and quantified biodiversity in plant and animal life, as well as ecosystem functions such as carbon sequestration (碳封存), food production, pest control, and human well-being.“We wanted to determine if there were any biodiversity and impact s on ecosystem function in those urban gardens,” says Shalene Jha, the lead author of the study in Ecology Letters. “What we found is that these gardens, which are providing tremendous nutritional resources and increasing well-being for gardeners, are also supporting incredibly high levels of plant and animal biodiversity. It’s a win-win.”Previous assumptions by scientists about the negative effect of food production on biodiversity have been almost entirely based on intensive rural agriculture enterprises that tend to grow only one or two types of crops, often at a massive scale. Urban community gardens, private gardens, and urban farms and orchards tend to grow more types of plants in smaller areas. The new study is the first to explore the effects of urban gardens across a wide range of biodiversity measures and ecological services.“It’s estimated that by 2030, about 60% of the world’s population will live in cities, ” Jha says. “And urban farms and gardens currently provide about 15%-20% of our food supply, so they are essential in addressing food inequality challenges. What we’re seeing is that urban gardens present an critical opportunity to support both biodiversity and local food production.”The study also found that the choices that gardeners make can have a large impact on their local ecosystem. For instance, planting trees outside crop beds could increase carbon sequestration without decreasing food production from too much shade. And covering only within crop beds could help improve soil carbon services, while avoiding negative effects on pest control.12. What’s the purpose of the study conducted by Shalene Jha?A.To analyze the cause of loss of biodiversity.B.To increase well-being of gardeners.C.To quantify nutritional levels in plants and animals.D.To study the influence of urban gardens on ecosystem.13. What may cause the loss of biodiversity according to previous assumptions?A.Inefficient pest control.B.Limited planting scales.C.Intensive agricultural pattern.D.Unsatisfactory ecological services.14. What’s Jha’s attitude towards urban gardens?A.Objective. B.Supportive C.Doubtful. D.Concerned.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Urban Gardens Boost Biodiversity.B.Urban Gardens Challenge Rural Agriculture.C.Urban Farms Address Food Inequality.D.Urban Biodiversity Increases Well-being of Cardener.Some people do not always read the classics. Their reasons begin with the language being too difficult and end with the storyline to distant to the present context. Love for classics is obviously not at first sight. 16 We begin as acquaintances (熟人) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us. So how does one approach a classic?Don’t be afraid to be confused.We get it: it’s hard to power through confusion. It doesn’t feel great when a book makes you feel confused. Every reader has to start somewhere. 17 Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn.Research, research, research.18 Researching the author and the time and place they were writing about can help you situate yourself during tricky passages. The author’s experience, viewpoint, and historical context might help you make the connections you might not have otherwise.Just pick the book up.While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so. 19 Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Castle Dracula.Remember: there is no right answer.There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no defining interpretation, no exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you. 20 Even if your interpretat ion of the work isn’t quite perfect, it is still valuable!Diebedo Kere is a young architect from Africa. There was no __ school when Mr. Kere was growing up in Gando, one of the world’s poorest countries. Since childhood he had already had a keen sense of __ .

AA rising population is one of the main reasons that there is global warming. Between 1650 and 1850 the population increased by 0.75 billion people going from 0.25 billion to one billion. From 1930 to the end of the century the population rose from two billion to over six billion. In just a third of the time the population rose by more than five times what it did before. It is expected that this trend in the changing population will continue and could even heighten. The growing population requires increasing amounts of energy. These energy demands and othersupplies require production, which almost always involves the emission of greenhouse gases. The more the population increases the more greenhouse gases that are produced and the greater the increase in temperature.The burning of fossil fuels is one of the best-known causes for global warming. The major reason for fossil fuels contributing so much to global warming is the release of carbon that occurs during the burning of fossil fuels. When people burn fossil fuels, they release large amounts of carbon by way of the release of carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide in the air then leads to global warming.Another source of carbon dioxide comes from deforestation. In forests there is a large amount of carbon that is stored in the trees and other plants. This carbon is out of the atmosphere because the trees consume the carbon from carbon dioxide. When people cut down trees, they are frequently burned. This burning releases the carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that was stored in organic matter. Even when new trees are planted, it can take up to one hundred years to make up for the carbon that was released. It is commonly thought that because trees absorb more carbon dioxide, the atmosphere experiences positive effects.Sophie Armstrong, the writer of Earth Care put it, “There’s no doubt that the earth is becoming warmer because of human activity rather thana random but natural phenomenon.21. Which of the following titles goes with the text?A. A Rising PopulationB. Saving Sources ofEnergyC. Global warming The causesD. Carbon Dioxide22. The underlined word “deforestation” means .A. rising populationB. burning of fossil fuelsC. greenhouse gasD. cutting down or burning trees.23.

Young men are likely to love the Round Clock ey Chain.D. The Round Clock ey Chain is the cheapest gift.CWe have all experienced days when everything goes wrong. A day may begin well enough, but suddenly everything seems to get out of control. What happens is that a great number of things choose to go wrong at exactly the same moment. It is as if a single unimportant event set up a chain of reactions. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time. The telephone rings and this marks the prelude (前奏) to an unforeseen series of catastrophes. While you are on the phone, the baby pulls the tablecloth off the table, smashing half your best pottery and cutting himself in the process. You hang up hurriedly and attend to baby, pottery, etc. Meanwhile, the meal gets burnt. As if this were not enough to reduce you to tears, your husband arrives, unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.Things can go wrong on a big scale, as a number of people recently discovered in Parramatta, a suburb of Sydney. During the rush hour oneevening two cars collided (猛撞) and both drivers began to argue. The woman immediately behind the two cars happened to be a learner. She suddenly got into a panic and stopped her car. This made the driver following her brake hard. His wife was sitting beside him holding a large cake. As she was thrown forward, the cake went right through the windscreen and landed on the road. Seeing a cake flying through the air, a lorry driver who was drawing up alongside the car, stopped all of a sudden. The lorry was loaded with empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the vehicle and on to the road. This led to yet another angry argument. Meanwhile, the traffic piled up behind. It took the police nearly an hour to get the traffic on the move again. In the meantime, the lorry driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two dogs benefited from all this confusion, for they greedily ate what was left of the cake. It was just one of those days!28. What would have most upset the woman the day everything went wrong for her?A. She had not expected her husband to arrive so early.B. The meal she had cooked for the three guests had got burnt.C. Her husband had not told her he was bringing anyone to dinner.D. She had not got enough pottery left to serve the meal with.29. What might have prevented a chain reaction following the beginning collision?A. If the two drivers who had collided had not begun to argue.B.

Misfortunes never come singly.DThat "Monday morning feeling" could bea crushing pain in the chest which leaves you sweating and gasping for breath.Recent research from Germany and Italy shows that heart attacks are more common on Monday mornings and doctors blame the stress of returning to work after the weekend break.The risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but a six-year study helped by researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more than 2,600 Germans showed that the average person had a 20 percent higher chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any other day.Working Germans are particularly not protected against attack, with a 33 percent higher risk at the beginning of the working week. Non-workers, by comparison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day.A study of 11,000 Italians proved 8 a.m. on a Monday morning as the most stressful time for the heart, and both studies showed that Sunday is the least stressful day, with fewest heart attacks in both countries.The finding could lead to a better understanding of what is the immediate cause of heart attacks, according to Dr. Stefan Willich of the Free University. "We know a lot about long-term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol (胆固醇) but we don't know what actually causes heart attacks, so we can't give clear advice on how to prevent them." he said.Monday mornings have a double helping of stress for the working body as it makes a rapid change from sleep to activity, and from the relaxing weekend to the pressure of work."When people get up, their blood pressure and heart rate go up and there are hormonal (内分泌) changes in their bodies." Willich explained. "All these things can have an unfavorable effect in the blood system and increase the risk of a clot (血凝块) which will cause a heart attack.""When people return to work after a weekend off, the pace of their life changes. They havea higher workload, more stress, more anger and more physical activities." said Willich.32.
