（2024·辽宁·三模）I had just delivered a memorable speech that I had labored over for months, and I was about to learn how the experts judged my performance. The audience leaned forward in their folding chairs. Silence fell across the room and the drum rolled in my heart.
The contest organizer announced the third-place winner. The name was not mine. Then the second, and once again it was not me. At last, the moment of truth came. Either I was about to be lost in the warmth of victory or regretted the last several months’ preparation. While neither of these came to pass, my heart just sank.
Losing is a part of life, but it was an indescribable depression to drive 200-mile round trip, get up early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors. After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate(参议院) race, he said, “I felt like the 12-year-old boy who kicked his toe. I was too big to cry and it hurt too bad to laugh.” Oh yeah, I could relate.
I had spent hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial (两百周年纪念) Speech Contest. As I read through several biographies, one idea stood out: Lincoln was handed many sound defeats, but he never allowed them to permanently stop his spirit or ambition. I thought “failing successfully” was a very appropriate topic, given the many letdowns Lincoln experienced, and so this became the title of my speech.
Never mind the lost prize money and praise - I did gain a new perspective. Now, whenever I’m faced with a failure, I remember what Lincoln said after his unsuccessful 1854 Senate race, “The path was worn and difficult. My foot slipped from under me, knocking the other out of the way, but I recovered and said to myself. ‘It’s a slip and not a fall.’”
1．How did the author feel when waiting for the announcement of the result
A．Thrilled. B．Nervous. C．Depressed. D．Relieved.
2．Why did the author mention Lincoln’s failures in Senate race
A．To show Lincoln’s determination to win Senate race.
B．To present his research findings of Lincoln’s biographies.
C．To indicate that he got inspiration from Lincoln’s failures.
D．To declare what they had in common in their experiences.
3．What’s the author’s attitude towards the lost prize money and praise
A．Disappointed. B．Positive. C．Concerned. D．Anxious.
4．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．A Successful Failure B．A Difficult Path.
C．An Unexpected Speech D．An Impressive Example
【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A

2．推理判断题。根据原文第四段最后一句“I thought “failing successfully” was a very appropriate topic, given the many letdowns Lincoln experienced, and so this became the title of my speech.(鉴于林肯经历的许多挫折，

（2024·广东江门·三模）Clair Hughes first began to research money-saving ideas to get out of her 3,500 student overdraft (透支额). The shopper started surfing the Internet for discount coupons (优惠券) and cut price offers. Revealing how she seldom pays full price for an item, Ms Hughes says, “Discounts are always there; it’s just a matter of being organized. Before starting this, I thought it’d be much work, but now I’m so used to this lifestyle that it’s automatic to me. I must have easily saved over 15,000.”
Ms Hughes first focused on saving money back in 2010, when she moved in with her partner, Shane Byrne, a phone company trainer. After turning to the web for advice, she tried out a few clever money-saving tricks like switching her overdraft to a zero-interest account. Then, several years later, she came across an online community for “couponers” and decided to give it a go.
She started spending hours surfing the web for coupons, printing them all out to take with her whenever she went shopping. Over the years, she has managed to get some impressive catches. Once, two lamps worth 140 cost her just 35.
Two years ago, Ms Hughes also began using cashback apps where you are given money back on items ranging from beers to toiletries. After each shop, she uploads pictures of her receipts, which are then scanned, and money is given back on certain items.
Among her other top money-saving tips, Ms Hughes recommends taking part in paid online surveys, which have earned her hundreds in discount coupons. She says, “I’ve heard a lot about collecting other people’s abandoned receipts from shopping trolleys to check for missed discounts. I can’t believe how much coupons and cashback apps have helped me. The community does benefit me a lot. There will always be someone on hand to explain how it works.”

（2024·重庆沙坪坝·三模）Sugar was my first choice when I was sad or happy, and the dependency and health consequences made it my abuser even as early as age five. For over twenty years after seven, every weight loss intervention failed me, leaving me feeling hopeless.
I was fourteen when I went to my first weight-loss camp. I knew that I would regain all the weight I’d lost when I went home. A little voice inside me whispered. “You should help people. You should make a program that really works.” That voice got louder with each failed diet. It sparked a need to help others who were struggling like me.
Eventually, I recognized that my issue was sugar. I broke up with sugar and dieting and found a way to heal my relationship with food. I finally created a program that would help people in the way that I had needed desperately all along.
That program took off. My clients discovered that their relationships with food could be loving and
sustainable. As a result, I was often encouraged to take my message to a larger platform. But when l finally was committed to sharing my story with the world, I knew that I had to tell it all leaving no stone unturned.
My friend Rumi said, “The wound is the place where the light enters you.” Finally, I was ready to tell my story, shining a big and bright light on all the wounds. With anxiety screaming in my ear, I made progress and wrote Breaking Up with Sugar. Now, I receive daily e-mails from readers telling me that they finally feel heard and understood. They’re hopeful for the first time in their lives. To me, this is the truest meaning of life — to be truly healthy and loving. The greatest lesson I’ve learned on this journey is that. by embracing my truth, loving and sharing it, I am able to become the best version of myself — someone whom I love and cherish.

（2024·浙江·三模）18 years ago, a 14-year-old boy from Kasungu district in Malawi was forced to drop out of school for lack of fees. At the same time, a severe famine was destroying his village, claiming people’s lives and leaving desperation in its wake.
This was a situation to break the strongest of minds but William Kamkwamba did not give up. Young as he was, he knew that education was where his future lay. He found hope in the library and feasted on the knowledge that he harvested from its books. It was there that he came across a science textbook entitled Using Energy. He learned that he could generate electricity using wind. The youngster realized that, if mastered, this power could help his village in exceptional ways.
Armed with determination and an iron will, the teenager set out to build a windmill out of random materials from a scrapyard (垃圾场). Though his outside world was collapsing to dust, the youngster did not hesitate about his purpose. He defended himself from all doubt and criticism. He worked tirelessly until his dream of bringing electricity to his village became reality. Soon, he was caught in the center of media attention that took him to new places that he would never have stepped on without his invention.
In his village, the dust has not settled yet and the winds of change continue to blow across the land. Windmills pump water to irrigate crops, sweeping away another period of hunger. William’s former primary school boasts new and stronger buildings, thanks to the help of well-wishers and the villagers’ united efforts.
What seemed like a hopeless situation has been turned into an inspirational story that motivates each and every one of us, persuading us that no misfortune is set in stone. William refused to be a school drop-out forever. He sought solutions for his problems and continued fighting even when the going got tough. He was able to rise above poverty to become a graduate from one of America’s best universities, Dartmouth College.

（2024·浙江杭州·模拟预测）My wife always wanted a Vizsla, so when we got the house, the garden and everything sorted, we did some research and found a lovely breeder (饲养员) based in Scotland. He was in charge of everything, so a few months go by and the next thing I know, we’ve got a puppy!
I’ve grown up with animals all my life, and I’m so glad I have. I love the fact that I was never afraid of any animals. Although you do obviously have to be careful when introducing children to a dog they don’t know, because you don’t know how it’s going to behave, it always saddens me when I see children scared when they walk past Pedro. I think it’s great for kids to learn how to look after an animal.
And obviously for us, as a family, it’s brilliant because we take Pedro for so many walks. It’s a bit of a family bonding experience getting out in the fresh air; taking Pedro for a walk multiple times a day is just really lovely. Meanwhile, the most rewarding, I think, is just seeing how amazing he is with the kids. He is so calm, so protective, so loving, and we are his world.
I think the most challenging aspects with Pedro were when he was a puppy (小狗). He was pretty hard work.
He was never aggressive, but he was quite bitey as puppies are, constantly pulling out your clothes and putting holes in them, which is very annoying. He chewed the furniture-my sofas are barely standing up; their wooden legs are almost in pieces. Obviously, the dog training in the house was quite stressful and his jumping at strangers in the park and running off was always quite scary.
As a new puppy owner, you’re overloaded with advice from social media, magazines, other dog owners and friends, so finding a source of information you trust is so important and can be a real turning point. I know what it’s like to be bombarded with conflicting information, so I would have really welcomed Royal Canin’s “One in a Billion” platform as a new puppy owner. It’s a one-stop shop for new dog owners: a single source of credible information that is so helpful in navigating the early stages of your puppy’s life.
17．What do we know about the author
A．He is inexperienced in raising pets.
B．He is unsupportive of his wife’s desire.

18．How does the author think of Pedro

（2024·河北张家口·三模）The British accent of Cary Gran has finally been revealed after a fellow actor tracked down a secretly tape recording of the Bristol-born big screen superstar.
Jason Isaacs, who plays Cary Grant in a coming ITV biopic(传记片), said that although setting his mind on figuring out the actor’s real accent, he had become upset by the absence of interviews with Cary Grant.
The star, whose death aged 82 in 1986 brought to an end one of the 20th century’s greatest screen careers, rarely spoke in public and would always adopt a mid-American accent for the cameras
Isaacs, 60, said this week that after some “detective work”, he found out about an interview Cary Grant gave to a student from the University of Iowa months before his death. The student’s classmate secretly recorded the interview in which Cary Grant spoke about his hatred(厌恶) of being approached by fans. The secret recording reveals Cary Grant’s true accent.
At the launch of the ITV drama Archie-after Cary Grant’s birth name Archibald Leach—Isaacs said that when he landed the role, “the first thing I did was look for interviews of Cary Grant.” Isaacs added; “He didn’t want to be seen and he didn’t want to be known. There was nothing at all. Only the films. And that’s not what he spoke like. His accent changed a lot in the films.
Isaacs said of listening to the tape: “I felt like I’d finally made a real connection with him and that’s the voice
you hear on screen in Archie. It’s more English than he is in the movies. People think they remember Cary Grant’s voice but what they remember is Tony Curtis in Some Like It Hot.”
The ITV biopic focuses on Grant’s troubled family relationships. Jennifer Grant, Grant’s daughter, said her father had rarely spoken about his childhood. “Sadly I think there was so much shame wrapped up in it,” Jennifer Grant said.
21．Why did Jason Isaacs attempt to get a recording of Cary Grant
A．To recreate his accent for real
B．To show sincere respect to him
C．To get the role of Cary Grant easily.
D．To make the film more profitable.
22．What can we infer about Cary Grant from Paragraph 4
A．He acted as a detective
B．He worked in a university.
C．He hated being recorded secretly.
D．He disliked having his life disturbed
23．Whose voice is familiar to the audience
A．Cary Grant B．Tony Curtis. C．Jason Isaacs. D．Jennifer Grant
24．What kind of person is Jason Isaacs
A．Generous. B．Ambitious C．Determined. D．Knowledgeable

【导语】本文一篇记叙文。在饰演已故明星Cary Grant这个角色之前，为了真实再现Cary Grant的声音，Jason Isaacs设法找到了Cary Grant生前的谈话录音，从而可以模仿他的真实声音。因为大家熟悉的Cary Grant的声音都是他在电影里的声音，这与他真实的声音不同。

24．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Jason Isaacs, who plays Cary Grant in a coming ITV biopic(传记片), said that although setting his mind on figuring out the actor’s real accent, he had become upset by the absence of interviews with Cary Grant. (在即将上映的ITV传记片中扮演加里·格兰特的杰森·艾萨克斯说，虽然他下定决心要弄清楚加里·格兰特的真实口音，但他对没有采访加里·格兰特感到不安。)”Jason Isaacs为了演好Cary Grant这个角色设法找到他的采访录音，从而在电影里真实再现Cary Grant的声音，可推知，Jason Isaacs是有决心的。故选C。
（2024·湖北武汉·模拟预测）When he flagged me down, I thought he was an elder collecting a “customs fee”, the few dollars it costs to use village roads that lead to many of Samoa’s sights. He’d been sitting lazily in a greying roadside shack (棚子) built for such occasions. Normally I wouldn’t pick up a free rider. But I tried to live out a dream.
I’d wanted to go to Pulemelei Mound since I’d heard it mentioned in an archaeology class years ago. The “mound” is actually a pyramid 40 feet high and roughly 200 feet across at its base. So, I asked, “Do you know how to get to Pulemelei Mound ”
“Mmm,” he said, raising his eyebrows in the classic Polynesian gesture for “yes”. “I need to pick up my car at the mechanic but no hurry, I’ll take you there first if you want.”
You’d think that a giant pyramid would be a major sight, or at least something many people had heard of, but it isn’t. My accidental friend’s raise of the eyebrows was the most promising prospect I’d had in a week.
We drove along the road in silence for a few minutes. Then my new friend broke the silence and, meanwhile, my hopes. “I’ve never been to Pulemelei,” he said. “I’ve lived here but I never thought of going.” My heart sank. But we pressed on, crossing a stream, walking through waist-high grass, and then another mile of hot walk until we found a sign. There, barely visible, were the words: “Pulemelei Mound 150m”. The sign marked a dark tunnel of jungle. Then the path opened to rays of sunshine. We climbed. And then, magic. We were standing on top of a Polynesian pyramid.
Just then, my friend, obviously awed by what he saw, turned toward me, and placed his big Samoan hands on my shoulders. In the most natural way, he bent down and kissed me gently on the cheek.
“Thank you,” he said.
25．What’s the purpose of the Samoan man flagging me down
A．To thumb a ride. B．To ask for directions.
C．To collect a customs fee. D．To warn of a road accident.
26．Which of the following words can best describe the author
A．Informed but rigid. B．Hesitant but agreeable.
C．Skeptical and reserved. D．Curious and adventurous.
27．Why did the Samoan man thank the author in the end
A．He had lived out his dream.
B．He was taken to the mechanic.
C．He enjoyed the author’s company.
D．He experienced the thrill of discovery.
28．What is the passage mainly about
A．A Polynesian village.
B．A famous Samoan sight.
C．A chance encounter.
D．An elder protecting local roads.
【答案】25．A 26．D 27．D 28．C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和一位搭顺风车的老人一起前往普莱梅利丘的故事。
25．细节理解题。根据第一段“When he flagged me down, I thought he was an elder collecting a “customs fee”, the few dollars it costs to use village roads that lead to many of Samoa’s sights. He’d been sitting lazily in a greying roadside shack (棚子) built for such occasions. Normally I wouldn’t pick up a free rider.(当他向我
招手时，我还以为他是来收取“海关费”的长者，也就是使用通往萨摩亚许多景点的乡村道路所需的几美元。他一直懒洋洋地坐在路边为这种场合而建的灰暗棚屋里。通常情况下，我不会载上一个免费搭车的人)”可知，萨摩亚人拦“我”的目的是搭顺风车。故选A。
26．推理判断题。根据第二段“I’d wanted to go to Pulemelei Mound since I’d heard it mentioned in an archaeology class years ago. The “mound” is actually a pyramid 40 feet high and roughly 200 feet across at its base.(自从几年前在考古学课上听到有人提到普莱梅利丘，我就一直想去那里。这个“土墩”实际上是一个40英尺高，底部大约200英尺宽的金字塔)”可知，作者在考古学课上知道了普莱梅利丘这个地方，于是就前往，说明作者爱冒险；根据倒数第三段“But we pressed on, crossing a stream, walking through waist-high grass, and then another mile of hot walk until we found a sign. There, barely visible, were the words: “Pulemelei Mound 150m”. The sign marked a dark tunnel of jungle. Then the path opened to rays of sunshine. We climbed. And then, magic. We were standing on top of a Polynesian pyramid.(但我们继续前进，穿过一条小溪，穿过齐腰高的草地，又走了一英里，直到我们发现了一个标志。在那里，几乎看不见的是这样的字样：“150米高的普莱梅利丘”。标志标明丛林中有一条黑暗的隧道。然后，小路被阳光照亮了。我们爬上去。然后，神奇的一幕。我们站在波利尼西亚金字塔的顶端)”可知，作者是个好奇和爱冒险的人。故选D。
27．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Just then, my friend, obviously awed by what he saw, turned toward me, and placed his big Samoan hands on my shoulders. In the most natural way, he bent down and kissed me gently on the cheek.(就在这时，我的朋友显然被他所看到的吓住了，他转向我，把他那双萨摩亚式的大手放在我的肩膀上。他以最自然的方式弯下腰，轻轻地吻了我的脸颊)”可知，萨摩亚人最后感谢作者因为他经历了发现的快感。故选D。
28．主旨大意题。根据第四段“My accidental friend’s raise of the eyebrows was the most promising prospect I’d had in a week.(我那位偶然的朋友扬起了眉毛，这是一个星期以来我遇到的最有希望的事情)”结合文章主要讲述了作者和一位搭顺风车的老人一起前往普莱梅利丘的故事。可知，这篇文章主要讲的是一次偶然的相遇。故选C。

（2024·辽宁·三模）I had just delivered a memorable speech that I had labored over for months, and I was about to learn how the experts judged my performance. The audience leaned forward in their folding chairs. Silence fell across the room and the drum rolled in my heart.
The contest organizer announced the third-place winner. The name was not mine. Then the second, and once again it was not me. At last, the moment of truth came. Either I was about to be lost in the warmth of victory or regretted the last several months’ preparation. While neither of these came to pass, my heart just sank.
Losing is a part of life, but it was an indescribable depression to drive 200-mile round trip, get up early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors. After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate(参议院) race, he said, “I felt like the 12-year-old boy who kicked his toe. I was too big to cry and it hurt too bad to laugh.” Oh yeah, I could relate.
I had spent hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial (两百周年纪念) Speech Contest. As I read through several biographies, one idea stood out: Lincoln was handed many sound defeats, but he never allowed them to permanently stop his spirit or ambition. I thought “failing successfully” was a very appropriate topic, given the many letdowns Lincoln experienced, and so this became the title of my speech.
Never mind the lost prize money and praise - I did gain a new perspective. Now, whenever I’m faced with a failure, I remember what Lincoln said after his unsuccessful 1854 Senate race, “The path was worn and difficult. My foot slipped from under me, knocking the other out of the way, but I recovered and said to myself. ‘It’s a slip and not a fall.’”
1．How did the author feel when waiting for the announcement of the result
A．Thrilled. B．Nervous. C．Depressed. D．Relieved.
2．Why did the author mention Lincoln’s failures in Senate race
A．To show Lincoln’s determination to win Senate race.
B．To present his research findings of Lincoln’s biographies.
C．To indicate that he got inspiration from Lincoln’s failures.
D．To declare what they had in common in their experiences.
3．What’s the author’s attitude towards the lost prize money and praise
A．Disappointed. B．Positive. C．Concerned. D．Anxious.
4．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．A Successful Failure B．A Difficult Path.
C．An Unexpected Speech D．An Impressive Example
（2024·广东江门·三模）Clair Hughes first began to research money-saving ideas to get out of her 3,500 student overdraft (透支额). The shopper started surfing the Internet for discount coupons (优惠券) and cut price offers. Revealing how she seldom pays full price for an item, Ms Hughes says, “Discounts are always there; it’s just a matter of being organized. Before starting this, I thought it’d be much work, but now I’m so used to this lifestyle that it’s automatic to me. I must have easily saved over 15,000.”
Ms Hughes first focused on saving money back in 2010, when she moved in with her partner, Shane Byrne, a
phone company trainer. After turning to the web for advice, she tried out a few clever money-saving tricks like switching her overdraft to a zero-interest account. Then, several years later, she came across an online community for “couponers” and decided to give it a go.
She started spending hours surfing the web for coupons, printing them all out to take with her whenever she went shopping. Over the years, she has managed to get some impressive catches. Once, two lamps worth 140 cost her just 35.
Two years ago, Ms Hughes also began using cashback apps where you are given money back on items ranging from beers to toiletries. After each shop, she uploads pictures of her receipts, which are then scanned, and money is given back on certain items.
Among her other top money-saving tips, Ms Hughes recommends taking part in paid online surveys, which have earned her hundreds in discount coupons. She says, “I’ve heard a lot about collecting other people’s abandoned receipts from shopping trolleys to check for missed discounts. I can’t believe how much coupons and cashback apps have helped me. The community does benefit me a lot. There will always be someone on hand to explain how it works.”
5．What does saving money mean to Clair Hughes

（2024·重庆沙坪坝·三模）Sugar was my first choice when I was sad or happy, and the dependency and health consequences made it my abuser even as early as age five. For over twenty years after seven, every weight loss intervention failed me, leaving me feeling hopeless.
I was fourteen when I went to my first weight-loss camp. I knew that I would regain all the weight I’d lost when I went home. A little voice inside me whispered. “You should help people. You should make a program that really works.” That voice got louder with each failed diet. It sparked a need to help others who were struggling like
me.
Eventually, I recognized that my issue was sugar. I broke up with sugar and dieting and found a way to heal my relationship with food. I finally created a program that would help people in the way that I had needed desperately all along.
That program took off. My clients discovered that their relationships with food could be loving and sustainable. As a result, I was often encouraged to take my message to a larger platform. But when l finally was committed to sharing my story with the world, I knew that I had to tell it all leaving no stone unturned.
My friend Rumi said, “The wound is the place where the light enters you.” Finally, I was ready to tell my story, shining a big and bright light on all the wounds. With anxiety screaming in my ear, I made progress and wrote Breaking Up with Sugar. Now, I receive daily e-mails from readers telling me that they finally feel heard and understood. They’re hopeful for the first time in their lives. To me, this is the truest meaning of life — to be truly healthy and loving. The greatest lesson I’ve learned on this journey is that. by embracing my truth, loving and sharing it, I am able to become the best version of myself — someone whom I love and cherish.

（2024·浙江·三模）18 years ago, a 14-year-old boy from Kasungu district in Malawi was forced to drop out of school for lack of fees. At the same time, a severe famine was destroying his village, claiming people’s lives and leaving desperation in its wake.
This was a situation to break the strongest of minds but William Kamkwamba did not give up. Young as he was, he knew that education was where his future lay. He found hope in the library and feasted on the knowledge that he harvested from its books. It was there that he came across a science textbook entitled Using Energy. He learned that he could generate electricity using wind. The youngster realized that, if mastered, this power could help
his village in exceptional ways.
Armed with determination and an iron will, the teenager set out to build a windmill out of random materials from a scrapyard (垃圾场). Though his outside world was collapsing to dust, the youngster did not hesitate about his purpose. He defended himself from all doubt and criticism. He worked tirelessly until his dream of bringing electricity to his village became reality. Soon, he was caught in the center of media attention that took him to new places that he would never have stepped on without his invention.
In his village, the dust has not settled yet and the winds of change continue to blow across the land. Windmills pump water to irrigate crops, sweeping away another period of hunger. William’s former primary school boasts new and stronger buildings, thanks to the help of well-wishers and the villagers’ united efforts.
What seemed like a hopeless situation has been turned into an inspirational story that motivates each and every one of us, persuading us that no misfortune is set in stone.

（2024·浙江杭州·模拟预测）My wife always wanted a Vizsla, so when we got the house, the garden and everything sorted, we did some research and found a lovely breeder (饲养员) based in Scotland. He was in charge of everything, so a few months go by and the next thing I know, we’ve got a puppy!
I’ve grown up with animals all my life, and I’m so glad I have. I love the fact that I was never afraid of any animals. Although you do obviously have to be careful when introducing children to a dog they don’t know, because you don’t know how it’s going to behave, it always saddens me when I see children scared when they walk past Pedro. I think it’s great for kids to learn how to look after an animal.
And obviously for us, as a family, it’s brilliant because we take Pedro for so many walks. It’s a bit of a family bonding experience getting out in the fresh air; taking Pedro for a walk multiple times a day is just really lovely. Meanwhile, the most rewarding, I think, is just seeing how amazing he is with the kids. He is so calm, so protective,
so loving, and we are his world.
I think the most challenging aspects with Pedro were when he was a puppy (小狗). He was pretty hard work. He was never aggressive, but he was quite bitey as puppies are, constantly pulling out your clothes and putting holes in them, which is very annoying. He chewed the furniture-my sofas are barely standing up; their wooden legs are almost in pieces. Obviously, the dog training in the house was quite stressful and his jumping at strangers in the park and running off was always quite scary.
As a new puppy owner, you’re overloaded with advice from social media, magazines, other dog owners and friends, so finding a source of information you trust is so important and can be a real turning point. I know what it’s like to be bombarded with conflicting information, so I would have really welcomed Royal Canin’s “One in a Billion” platform as a new puppy owner. It’s a one-stop shop for new dog owners: a single source of credible information that is so helpful in navigating the early stages of your puppy’s life.

（2024·河北张家口·三模）The British accent of Cary Gran has finally been revealed after a fellow actor tracked down a secretly tape recording of the Bristol-born big screen superstar.
Jason Isaacs, who plays Cary Grant in a coming ITV biopic(传记片), said that although setting his mind on figuring out the actor’s real accent, he had become upset by the absence of interviews with Cary Grant.
The star, whose death aged 82 in 1986 brought to an end one of the 20th century’s greatest screen careers, rarely spoke in public and would always adopt a mid-American accent for the cameras
Isaacs, 60, said this week that after some “detective work”, he found out about an interview Cary Grant gave to a student from the University of Iowa months before his death. The student’s classmate secretly recorded the interview in which Cary Grant spoke about his hatred(厌恶) of being approached by fans. The secret recording reveals Cary Grant’s true accent.
At the launch of the ITV drama Archie-after Cary Grant’s birth name Archibald Leach—Isaacs said that when
he landed the role, “the first thing I did was look for interviews of Cary Grant.” Isaacs added; “He didn’t want to be seen and he didn’t want to be known. There was nothing at all. Only the films. And that’s not what he spoke like. His accent changed a lot in the films.
Isaacs said of listening to the tape: “I felt like I’d finally made a real connection with him and that’s the voice you hear on screen in Archie. It’s more English than he is in the movies. People think they remember Cary Grant’s voice but what they remember is Tony Curtis in Some Like It Hot.”
The ITV biopic focuses on Grant’s troubled family relationships. Jennifer Grant, Grant’s daughter, said her father had rarely spoken about his childhood. “Sadly I think there was so much shame wrapped up in it,” Jennifer Grant said.

（2024·湖北武汉·模拟预测）When he flagged me down, I thought he was an elder collecting a “customs fee”, the few dollars it costs to use village roads that lead to many of Samoa’s sights. He’d been sitting lazily in a greying roadside shack (棚子) built for such occasions. Normally I wouldn’t pick up a free rider. But I tried to live out a dream.
I’d wanted to go to Pulemelei Mound since I’d heard it mentioned in an archaeology class years ago. The “mound” is actually a pyramid 40 feet high and roughly 200 feet across at its base. So, I asked, “Do you know how to get to Pulemelei Mound ”
“Mmm,” he said, raising his eyebrows in the classic Polynesian gesture for “yes”. “I need to pick up my car at the mechanic but no hurry, I’ll take you there first if you want.”
You’d think that a giant pyramid would be a major sight, or at least something many people had heard of, but it isn’t. My accidental friend’s raise of the eyebrows was the most promising prospect I’d had in a week.
We drove along the road in silence for a few minutes. Then my new friend broke the silence and, meanwhile, my hopes. “I’ve never been to Pulemelei,” he said. “I’ve lived here but I never thought of going.” My heart sank. But we pressed on, crossing a stream, walking through waist-high grass, and then another mile of hot walk until we found a sign. There, barely visible, were the words: “Pulemelei Mound 150m”. The sign marked a dark tunnel of jungle. Then the path opened to rays of sunshine. We climbed. And then, magic. We were standing on top of a Polynesian pyramid.
Just then, my friend, obviously awed by what he saw, turned toward me, and placed his big Samoan hands on my shoulders. In the most natural way, he bent down and kissed me gently on the cheek.
“Thank you,” he said.
25．What’s the purpose of the Samoan man flagging me down

28．What is the passage mainly about

（2024·山西太原·三模）Walking into the on-campus barbershop, the student customers will be greeted by Alexander Garcia with clippers in hand, a harber chair, a full professional clipping set, and customers chatting about Ozzy’s latest DJ set in the background
Garcia started cutting hair during his junior year of high school. He spent his time learning from barber videos by 360Jeery on YouTube about different hair styles. That learning took trial and error, and he spent his time practicing on his younger cousin, but he never intended it to be a business.
He came into college as an Electrical and Computer Engineering major and spent his time in the students’ associations, working as a part-time DJ. His journey of cutting hair on campus began in the second year, with mainly roommates and close friends coming in for a cut and a chat, but his hobby fully developed into CutzbyOzzy earlier this year. Barbers in the city are expensive, he noticed, especially for college students, which pushed him to expand his hobby to a private business.
Garcia is busy, with appointments made usually a week in advance. Customers can pay $18 for a full haircut and $5 for a line-up. His business grows mostly through the word-of-mouth of his customers, who are mainly first-years. “Seeing that most of the customers are freshmen, I like to give them advice, try to expiain my own experience and promote student organizations because I feel that enhances my experience,” he said. “I lead them through things I encounter on the way—internships (实习), scholarships, job opportunities, and questions.”
To Garcia, it’s about creating the feel of walking into an actual barbershop; it’s about offering instructions and friendship to his customers. He’s found over time that these students start breaking out of their shells and coming to him with their problems.
“I can just never stay put,” he said. “ I always like to try different things in different fields. Apart from being an engineer, the barbershop is truly my life.”
29．What inspired Garcia to start his barbershop business
A．His hobby as a part-time DJ. B．The real demand from his friends.
C．The high cost of haircut in the city. D．His barbering experience in high school.
30．What helps Garcia’s business grow
A．Discounts for the freshmen. B．Recommendation by customers.
C．Advertisements via social media. D．Partnership with local barbershops.
31．How does Garcia distinguish from other barbers in the city
A．He keeps his burbershop better-equipped
B．He provides a wider selection of hairstyles.
C．He shares more practical guidance for students.
D．He introduces more job opportunities to graduates.
32．Which of the following can best describe Garcia
A．Ambitious and adventurous. B．Multitalented and supportive.
C．Knowledgeable and intelligent. D．Business-minded and fame-seeking.
