For years, I rejected this part of myself, until I realized what I was missing.
I used to be proud of my southern origin. 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, Id 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 seems 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 if 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 kept back for so long.
24. 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.
25. What's the 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.
26. 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.
27. 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.
C
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 already 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.
28. 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.
29. 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.
30. Which words can best describe Fisher
A. Adventurous and determined. B. Optimistic and generous.
C. Creative and thoughtful. D. Brave and patient.
31. 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.
D
Traditionally, it has been assumed that cultivating food leads to a loss of biodiversity and negative impactsn 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 impacts on ecosystem function in those unban 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.
32. 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.
33. 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.
34. What's Jha's attitude towards urban gardens
A. Objective. B. Supportive C. Doubtful. D. Concerned.
35. 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.

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. . 40_____________ Even if your interpretation of the work isn't quite perfect, it is still valuable!

Lucy was the only child in her family. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn't help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she gave a sigh and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, "Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles ”
“Oh, yes, but I don't have money on me, ”she replied.
“That's nothing. I'll treat you today, ”said the man. “Come in. ”

But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you Have you expressed your gratitude to her "
Lucy sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered her mother's familiar face and weathered hands. “Why didn't I think of that A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful. Why haven't I thanked my mum for what she has done for me "

Dear Jack,
How’s everything going I’m writing to share with you the autumn sports meet held in our school last week.
The sports meet was held on our playground and lasted two days. It was a huge success with teachers and students from different grades participating in a wide variety of events, which ranged from long jump to relay races. I took part in the 100-meter dash. It was thrilling to compete against others, especially when I raced towards the finish line. With my classmates’ encouragement , I finally crossed the finish line and ranked first.
Personally, I have a fantastic time during the sports meet. It is not just about winning or losing but about the spirit of participation and teamwork. The event has brought our class closer together and given us a chance to showcase our talents and abilities.
Looking forward to your sharing. Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua

Approaching the doorway, Lucy was very nervous and took a deep breath. Standing in front of the door, she was afraid whether her mother would forgive her for her rudeness. But when She thought of her mother’s familiar face and the noodle seller’s kind advice, she decided to knock on the door bravely. Her mother opened the door but Lucy was so ashamed that she didn’t know what to say.
A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. Lucy couldn’t help crying and said “Sorry, mom, I know I have made a big mistake. I shouldn’t have quarreled with you. I shouldn’t have run away from home. Could you forgive me ” Lucy’s mother was moved, saying “Good girl, never mind, I also should make an apology to you for scolding at you angrily. I am very worried about you. ” Tears rolled down from both of their faces and they hugged each other tightly.

Street Play Project involves local residents closing off their for a few hours so that children have a chance to play in the street safely with the help of volunteers. She started it in her street, Beechwood Road, and the idea caught on, and there are now Street Play Projects all over the city. She first had the idea when her oldest child was still a baby, so that's about six years ago now-but it took at least two years of campaigning before she was actually able to make it happen. So the project's been up and running for four years now. She'd love to be able to close the road for longer-for the whole weekend, from Saturday morning until Sunday evening, for example. At the moment it's just once a week, But when she started, it was only once a month, But she's working on it, Now let's welcome Alice Riches.

For years, I rejected this part of myself, until I realized what I was missing.
I used to be proud of my southern origin. 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, Id 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 seems 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 if 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 kept back for so long.
24. 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.
25. What's the 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.
26. 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.
27. 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.
C
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 already 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.
28. 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.
29. 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.
30. Which words can best describe Fisher
A. Adventurous and determined. B. Optimistic and generous.
C. Creative and thoughtful. D. Brave and patient.
31. 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.
D
Traditionally, it has been assumed that cultivating food leads to a loss of biodiversity and negative impactsn 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 impacts on ecosystem function in those unban 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.
32. 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.
33. 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.
34. What's Jha's attitude towards urban gardens
A. Objective. B. Supportive C. Doubtful. D. Concerned.
35. 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.

Lucy was the only child in her family. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn't help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she gave a sigh and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, "Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles ”
“Oh, yes, but I don't have money on me, ”she replied.
“That's nothing. I'll treat you today, ”said the man. “Come in. ”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, the smell so attractive. As she was eating, Lucy cried silently.
“What is it ”asked the man kindly.
“Nothing. Actually, I was just touched by your kindness!"said Lucy as she wiped her tears. "Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!”Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you Have you expressed your gratitude to her "
Lucy sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered her mother's familiar face and weathered hands. “Why didn't I think of that A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful. Why haven't I thanked my mum for what she has done for me "

第一节
One possible version:
Dear Jack,
How’s everything going I’m writing to share with you the autumn sports meet held in our school last week.
The sports meet was held on our playground and lasted two days. It was a huge success with teachers and students from different grades participating in a wide variety of events, which ranged from long jump to relay races. I took part in the 100-meter dash. It was thrilling to compete against others, especially when I raced towards the finish line. With my classmates’ encouragement , I finally crossed the finish line and ranked first.
Personally, I have a fantastic time during the sports meet. It is not just about winning or losing but about the spirit of participation and teamwork. The event has brought our class closer together and given us a chance to showcase our talents and abilities.
Looking forward to your sharing. Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua

Approaching the doorway, Lucy was very nervous and took a deep breath. Standing in front of the door, she was afraid whether her mother would forgive her for her rudeness. But when She thought of her mother’s familiar face and the noodle seller’s kind advice, she decided to knock on the door bravely. Her mother opened the door but Lucy was so ashamed that she didn’t know what to say.
A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. Lucy couldn’t help crying and said “Sorry, mom, I know I have made a big mistake. I shouldn’t have quarreled with you. I shouldn’t have run away from home. Could you forgive me ” Lucy’s mother was moved, saying “Good girl, never mind, I also should make an apology to you for scolding at you angrily. I am very worried about you. ” Tears rolled down from both of their faces and they hugged each other tightly.

Street Play Project involves local residents closing off their for a few hours so that children have a chance to play in the street safely with the help of volunteers. She started it in her street, Beechwood Road, and the idea caught on, and there are now Street Play Projects all over the city. She first had the idea when her oldest child was still a baby, so that's about six years ago now-but it took at least two years of campaigning before she was actually able to make it happen. So the project's been up and running for four years now. She'd love to be able to close the road for longer-for the whole weekend, from Saturday morning until Sunday evening, for example. At the moment it's just once a week, But when she started, it was only once a month, But she's working on it, Now let's welcome Alice Riches.
