As a child, I was proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family’s past and present-part northern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all southern. There was no sound I loved more than my grandmother’s accent: thick, sweet, warm.
While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities. In that embarrassing space between “teen” and “adult”, my accent was a symbol of everything I thought I hated about my life in the rural South. I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily’s accent.
I met Emily in college. She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her roots. Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.
Emily is two years younger and she cared about my opinion. I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. Now, I see that it was actually about justifying my hiding part of myself.
Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. Now that I am grown and have left the South, it’s important to me.
24．What made the author want to leave her hometown
A．Appeal of convenience in cities.
B．Her dream of becoming a writer.
C．Outside prejudice against southerners.
D．Her desire for the northern accent.
25．How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily’s mother
A．Upset. B．Pleased. C．Ashamed. D．Surprised.
26．Why on earth did the author try to change Emily’s accent
A．To prove herself right. B．To help Emily be a reporter.
C．To make herself influential. D．To protect Emily’s self-dignity.
27．What message does the text want to convey
A．Stay true to your roots. B．Never do things by halves.
C．Hold on to your dreams. D．Never judge a person by his accent.
C
“Your playful days are over,” my brother said to me when he knew I was going to be a Senior One student. Then he continued telling me that senior school life was boring because I had to do a large amount of homework every day. The subjects were much more difficult than those of junior school.
I stepped into the school gate with a nervous heart. However, I was surprised to find what I experienced there was completely different from what my brother had told me.
The teachers gave excellent lessons in their own special way. They talked with me in a natural and fair way, as if I was an adult. All of them are so knowledgeable (学识渊博) and they not only explained the contents of textbooks but also provided extra information from other sources. Every word they said in classes made me so excited and interested that I had a strong desire to take in as much as I could.
In fact, my playful days were not over at all in senior school. There were many kinds of activities I could take part in. For example, sports meetings, the art festival, English corner, outing and so on. Best of all, generally, students organized the activities rather than teachers. Through this process, I improved my leadership abilities and communication skills. I've become mature (成熟的). I am not a kid any more.
Now if anyone asks me: “Through your process of growing up, which part is most impressive up till now ” Well, the answer will absolutely be my “senior high school life”.
28．How did the writer feel when he started his senior high school
A．Very excited. B．A little worried.
C．Quite relaxed. D．Embarrassed.
29．What was the writer's general impression of his teachers
A．Strict and organized. B．Modest and hardworking.
C．Learned and easy going. D．Helpful and kind-hearted.
30．What has the writer learned by joining in different after-class activities
A．Reading and writing skills. B．The understanding of textbooks
C．Leadership and social skills. D．Doing housework.
31．What can you learn from the last paragraph
A．His senior school life is the most memorable.
B．Senior school life was boring and tiring.
C．He will no longer believe in his brother.
D．The writer did well in all his subjects.
D
For a period of time in the early 80s, I watched I Dream of Jeannie reruns every afternoon in the empty time between school and supper. But I always felt a little deflated when the closing theme came on, since it meant that I had to wait an entire day for the next episode.
Decades later, thanks to the modern technology, on-demand viewing and an endless supply of content now allow us to find exactly the entertainment we want, when we want it. My own kids happily binge-watch Fresh Off the Boat, just as I dreamed of doing with Jeannie.
Lately, I’ve been thinking about a disadvantage of our just-for-you world. My kids miss out on all the things that are not just for them. Looking back, some of my more memorable discoveries as a child came about only because I didn’t have access to entertainment that I would have preferred.
When we would visit our aunts, my sisters and brothers and I didn’t have tablets to keep ourselves occupied while the adults chatted. So we would read whatever we could find. I looked forward to Sunday afternoons at Aunt Rose’s so that I could catch up on aliens and Hollywood stars in Weekly World News. These things—none of which were aimed at my tastes—were all that was on offer. However, they brought me so much enjoyment.
Electronic searching now takes us directly to what we seek. We are less likely to come across things that have nothing to do with what we are looking for. But finding something by accident is powerful in its purposelessness. It’s nature throwing things up against a wall to see what sticks. It’s the force that drives evolution.
Getting exactly what you want all the time sounds great. But as anyone who is familiar with fantasy stories knows, there’s always a catch.
32．What does the underlined word “deflated” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Depressed. B．Thrilled.
C．Convinced. D．Ashamed.
33．What brought happiness to the author at Aunt Rose’s
A．Latest tablets. B．Brothers and sisters.
C．different reading materials. D．Pleasant conversations.
34．What is the author’s attitude to electronic searching
A．It contributes to the evolution.
B．It’s absolutely beneficial to adults.
C．It’s a blessing of this modern world.
D．It takes unexpected joy away from people.
35．Which is the most suitable title for the text
A．What was on offer in the early 80s
B．What our kids miss out in a just-for-you world
C．How adults had fun with inaccessible entertainment
D．How anxious-to-please Internet changed the future of kids
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
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。
Say many things, and people will remember none. Say some things, and people will remember some. Say ONE thing, and people will remember ALL. Want to express clear viewpoints 36 .
Express more, explain less. 37 We think the audience doesn’t understand something, so we explain it, But in that case, explaining serves to correct a failed expression. When you focus on expressing points instead of explaining ideas, you’ll communicate more precisely (精确地). Expressing and delivering are more important about what your audience hears and receives.
38 Wherever you see a list of words or concepts (概念), ask yourself: Do I need all these words or concepts to attract my audience’s attention or are some of them not needed When you remove less important ideas, your audience will gain more.
Limit paragraphs to three sentences. If you’re writing your idea in a document or email, try to make paragraphs to three sentences or less. This makes it easier for readers to understand your points because they have less content to process. And because you’re writing in short, direct points compared with long pieces of text, you may find yourself writing less overall. 39 .
Hear your own words. No matter how much you review your own, writing, hearing it aloud will always identify places to cut. 40 When you say even one word more than you need to, you make your point one word harder for your audience to receive.
A．Remove unnecessary ideas
B．Know your “Need-to-Know”
C．These four tips shouldn’t be missed
D．You can’t change the style of your writing
E．Explaining is often an understanding behavior
F．Everyone benefits from applying this writing rule
G．You can read it aloud yourself to find out the words

Sarah was never a morning person. The alarm ringing at 6: 30 a. m. was her daily terrible sound. But one thing made the horrible early hours acceptable —the comforting pleasant smell of fresh coffee moving through the air. Her favorite coffee shop was just a few minutes from her apartment, and it became her morning call.
One sunny morning, after turning off the alarm clock, Sarah rushed to get dressed. She was going to have an important presentation at work, and she needed the caffeine (咖啡因) more than ever. She grabbed her keys, rushed out of the door, and made her way to the familiar coffee shop.
As she joined the line of cars in front of the coffee shop, Sarah couldn’t help but feel the familiar rush of expectation. The smell of roasted coffee beans and the thought of that first drink was her little daily enjoyment.
The line moved slowly forward, and soon, Sarah found herself near the window. She reached for her wallet to pay, but before she could hand over her bank card, the waiter smiled and said,” Your coffee has been covered by the car ahead of you.”
Sarah was confused. ”Really “she asked, both surprised and thankful.
The waiter nodded. ”Yes, the woman in the car ahead wanted to pay it forward today. Enjoy your coffee!“
With a warm smile. Sarah took the free coffee. The unexpected act of kindness put a smile on her face, making her presentation feel a little less frightening. Before she drove away. Sarah, in her outside back mirror, saw a car approaching from behind.

66．Dear Tom,
You have told me that you are very interested in how we Chinese celebrate our traditional festivals. With the Spring Festival approaching, I would like to invite you to join us in the celebration in our school.
A variety of activities will be included at the celebration, such as performances, games and gift-exchanging, which will surely enable you to know better about our culture. To get fully involved, I, together with my classmates, hope that you can put on a performance with us. And I think it will be a good combination of both our culture and yours.
By the way, the celebration will take place in the school lecture hall from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on December 30, 2023. We are looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
67．Suddenly she decided to do something and brighten someone else s morning. She handed over her bank card to the waiter and said, “I’d like to pay the coffee forward. ”After the payment, Sarah knew she had just started a chain of kindness, a warm sense of satisfaction springing up. Informed that the coffee had already been paid for, the next driver smiled and said, “Wonderful! Please use the money I was going to spend to pay for the coffee of the car behind.” and the beautiful cycle repeated.
The continuous chain of kindness attracted social media and inspired other communities. The story became popular online, and strangers copied it in their own communities. Messages of gratitude so flooded the Internet that the chain reached far and wide. Not only was the chain about buying coffee, but also about spreading love, kindness, and warmth to strangers. It served as a reminder that a small act of kindness could cause a series of other magic things to happen, spreading joy and smiles far beyond its original intention.
