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 by many non-Brits that everyone in Britain speaks with an accent known as Received Pronunciation (RP, 标准发音), 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 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 a group of people reading a passage with three different UK accents were shown to a second group of people. The second group then rated how intelligent they thought the readers sounded. The lowest-rated accent was Brummie, spoken by people in Birmingham, a city whose accent is considered 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 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 learnt. “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 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.
28. What can we know from Paragraph 1
A. Non-Brits usually hold that all Britons speak with an accent called RP.
B. Only the ”Queen’s English“ is accepted in the UK.
C. Foreign visitors are disappointed at their own spoken English.
D. All Britons speak with regional accents
29. What do people think of the Brummie accent
A It is favoured by foreign visitors to the UK.
B. It is the closest to RP
C. It sounds smart and is easy to understand.
D. It is spoken by working class people.
30. What does the underlined phrase “doing the opposite” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. Speaking with the RP accent.
B. Speaking with regional accents.
C. Speaking with Brummie accent.
D. Speaking like Harry Potter.
31. What is the passage mainly about
A. A study of the most intelligent accent in Britain.
B. A comparison between different British accents.
C. How much British people value the RP accent.
D. There are many regional accents in the UK besides RP.
【答案】28 A 29. D 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国不同地方口音的一些情况以及对人们生活的影响。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Usually, there’s an assumption by many non-Brits that everyone in Britain speaks with an accent known as Received Pronunciation (RP, 标准发音), also called the “Queen’s English”. However, while many people do talk this way, most Britons speak with their own regional accents. (通常，许多非英国人都认为每个英国人说话的口音都被称为标准发音，也被称为“女王英语”。然而，虽然很多人确实这样说话，但大多数英国人都有自己的地方口音。)”可知，非英国人通常认为所有英国人都说的是标准发音的英语。故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The lowest-rated accent was Brummie, spoken by people in Birmingham, a city whose accent is considered working-class.(评分最低的是Brummie口音，伯明翰的人说这种口音，这个城市的口音被认为是工人阶级的口音。)”可知，Brummie口音是工人阶级说的。故选D项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句前文“However, there is no need to be disappointed though you are not speaking with the RP accent.(然而，尽管你说话的口音不是标准发音，也没有必要感到失望。)”说明，发音不标准也无需失望，结合下段讲述Kong Seong-jae通过说地方口音增加了与当地人的联系，从而交到更多朋友推知划线词句“In fact, doing the opposite may even give you strengths.(事实上，doing the opposite甚至可能给你带来优势。)”其中划线短语应为“不说标准发音的英语而说地方口音”的意思。故选B项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Usually, there’s an assumption by many non-Brits that everyone in Britain speaks with an accent known as Received Pronunciation (RP, 标准发音), also called the “Queen’s English”. However, while many people do talk this way, most Britons speak with their own regional accents.(通常，许多非英国人都认为每个英国人说话的口音都被称为标准发音，也被称为“女王英语”。然而，虽然很多人确实这样说话，但大多数英国人都有自己的地方口音。)”以及全文可知，文章主要介绍了除了标准发音外，英国还有很多地方口音，不同地方口音的一些情况以及对人们生活的影响，D项符合题意。故选D项。
D
The thought of low material need and being unwilling to work, marry and have children, is described as a “lying down” lifestyle recently. It creates an emotional reaction among many young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly competitive society.
Many young people complained to the Global Times that duties, including work stress, family argument and financial pressure, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “involution (内卷)”, joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get stuck in an endless competition against peers(同龄人).
“Instead of always following the ‘good quality’ of struggle and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary(暂时的) lying down as release and adjustment,” said an expert. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage (按揭) today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”
Interestingly, the majority of young people, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, admit that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel ashamed about their constant loss of morale (士气).
“Young people have both ambition and confusion about their future, but most of us have refused to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”
32. Which of the following is NOT a “lying down” lifestyle according to the passage
A. Being uninterested in material enjoyment and refusing to shoulder duties.
B. Being involved in various social activities.
C. Stopping to breathe in a stressful life.
D. Giving up struggle and sacrifice.
33. What might have caused the “lying down” lifestyle among the young
A. Poor health from working so hard. B. Increasing material wealth from families.
C. Growing pressure from family and social life. D. Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions.
34. What’s the expert’s attitude toward the “lying down” group
A. Understanding. B. opposed C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
35. What can be inferred about the young generation from the text
A. They would rather escape than take challenges. B. They really enjoy the “lying down” lifestyle.
C. They find their dreams far beyond their reach. D. They never really drop their responsibilities.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。在这个快节奏、竞争激烈的社会中，许多年轻人渴望暂时停下来喘口气，因此他们选择“躺平”，他们不愿总是遵循奋斗、忍受和牺牲的美德来承受压力。但他们大多数人都不想浪费了机会和挑战，也不会真正放下自己的责任。
【32题详解】
细节理解题．根据第一段第一句“The thought of low material need and being unwilling to work, marry and have children, is described as a “lying down” lifestyle recently. (低物质欲望，低消费，拒绝工作，结婚和生育的观念，被描述成“躺平”的生活方式)”可知，B. Being involved in various social activities. (积极参与各种社会活动)不属于“躺平”的生活方式．故选B。

【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Instead of always following the ‘good quality’ of struggle and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary(暂时的) lying down as release and adjustment(他们不喜欢总是遵循“奋斗和牺牲的好品质”来承受压力，而是更喜欢暂时躺着作为释放和调整)”和“It is no wonder that some young people, … would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.(难怪一些年轻人，……会努力过一种简单的生活方式，把烦恼抛在脑后。)”可知，学者对“躺平”群体的态度是理解的，故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Young people have both ambition and confusion about their future, but most of us have refused to waste opportunities and challenges,(年轻人对自己的未来既有野心又有困惑，但我们大多数人都拒绝浪费机会和挑战 )”和“It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later(逃跑没有用。我迟早要站起来面对现实。)”可知，他们从未真正放下自己的责任。故选D。

In a world where acts of kindness often go unnoticed, a good story that has been discovered reminds us of the power of care and the effect it can have on someone’s life.
It all started with a “Kindness Week Challenge” given to Brennan by his 8th-grade teacher, Ms. Watkins. Little did he know that this challenge would lead to a wonderful friendship with 84-year-old Ms. Ann.
Brennan’s promise to send his little attractive things every day for a week developed a habit of checking up on Ms. Ann and sending gifts regularly(定期地), long after the challenge was over.
Their friendship has now lasted for over five years and Brennan still visits Ms. Ann every month with flowers, cakes, chocolates, cards and more.
They talk about everything from his high school life to his college goals. The pair has found that they share a common love of chocolates. Ms. Ann always hopes to hear about what he’s doing and loves to share her own stories from a different time. They have become the best friends, with Brennan treating her as his great-grandmother.
Brennan’s mom Traci, takes pride in her son. She said, “The best thing a teenager can do is to take care of the elderly. I’m so glad my son has added more sunshine to Ms. Ann’s life. I hope he always remembers the joy he’s brought her, and his fun talks with her, keeps his kind heart, and thinks of others.”
Ms. Ann’s daughter Emma, with her husband Gould, has a 2-year-old son. They are thankful for Brennan’s friendship as they cannot always be with Ms. Ann. Brennan’s kind heart has brought more sunshine into Ms. Ann’s life, and her encouraging words have helped to inspire(启发)him in return.

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 by many non-Brits that everyone in Britain speaks with an accent known as Received Pronunciation (RP, 标准发音), 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 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 a group of people reading a passage with three different UK accents were shown to a second group of people. The second group then rated how intelligent they thought the readers sounded. The lowest-rated accent was Brummie, spoken by people in Birmingham, a city whose accent is considered 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 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 learnt. “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 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.
28. What can we know from Paragraph 1
A. Non-Brits usually hold that all Britons speak with an accent called RP.
B. Only the ”Queen’s English“ is accepted in the UK.
C. Foreign visitors are disappointed at their own spoken English.
D. All Britons speak with regional accents
29. What do people think of the Brummie accent
A. It is favoured by foreign visitors to the UK.
B. It is the closest to RP
C. It sounds smart and is easy to understand.
D. It is spoken by working class people.
30. What does the underlined phrase “doing the opposite” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. Speaking with the RP accent.
B. Speaking with regional accents.
C. Speaking with Brummie accent.
D. Speaking like Harry Potter.
31. What is the passage mainly about
A. A study of the most intelligent accent in Britain.
B. A comparison between different British accents.
C. How much British people value the RP accent.
D. There are many regional accents in the UK besides RP.
D
The thought of low material need and being unwilling to work, marry and have children, is described as a “lying down” lifestyle recently. It creates an emotional reaction among many young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly competitive society.
Many young people complained to the Global Times that duties, including work stress, family argument and financial pressure, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “involution (内卷)”, joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get stuck in an endless competition against peers(同龄人).
“Instead of always following the ‘good quality’ of struggle and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary(暂时的) lying down as release and adjustment,” said an expert. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage (按揭) today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”
Interestingly, the majority of young people, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, admit that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel ashamed about their constant loss of morale (士气).
“Young people have both ambition and confusion about their future, but most of us have refused to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”
32. Which of the following is NOT a “lying down” lifestyle according to the passage
A. Being uninterested in material enjoyment and refusing to shoulder duties.
B. Being involved in various social activities.
C. Stopping to breathe in a stressful life.
D. Giving up struggle and sacrifice.
33. What might have caused the “lying down” lifestyle among the young
A. Poor health from working so hard. B. Increasing material wealth from families.
C. Growing pressure from family and social life. D. Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions.
34. What’s the expert’s attitude toward the “lying down” group
A. Understanding. B. opposed C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
35. What can be inferred about the young generation from the text
A. They would rather escape than take challenges. B. They really enjoy the “lying down” lifestyle.
C. They find their dreams far beyond their reach. D. They never really drop their responsibilities.
