You should always support your kids and their natural talents.And if you nurture
(them,great things will happen.That's what 9-year-old Joe Whale's parents
thought when they encouraged their son to keep drawing,even though he got
into trouble for drawing pictures during class.
They sent Joe to an after-school art class and his artistic abilities were quickly
noticed by those around him.In fact,Joe was invited to decorate the dining room of the
"Number 4"restaurant in Shrewsbury,England.Now,Joe is known as The Doodle
Boy and has his own website,as well as social media pages showing off his
wonderful art.
According to Greg,Joe's dad,his son has always loved drawing.Greg also talked
about how long it took Joe to finish his drawings on the dining room walls in the
restaurant."Joe spent about 122 hours decorating the wall."
What's more,Greg had some suggestions for parents who want to encourage their
kids to develop their talent:I would advise parents to encourage their children to
always follow their interest and dreams-research local workshops or groups within
your local community.
Joe's teacher recognized his talent and posted his work online.Then the "Number
3
4"restaurant found him and asked him to come over and decorate their walls with his
drawing.Now,his dad drives him there so he can draw his heart out.Who knew that
drawing in an after-class program would lead Joe to get his first job at only 9 years
old?

C.He decorated the wall

After many considerations and years of heated argument,gray wolves were brought
back to Yellowstone National Park.Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and
transported to the park.By last year,the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more
than 170 wolves.
Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the
continental United States,but they were gradually displaced by human development.By
the 1920s,wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area.They went
farther north into the deep forests of Canada,where there were fewer humans around.
The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results.Deer and elk()
populations-major food sources for the wolf-grew rapidly.These animals consumed
large amounts of 117 vegetation(植被),which reduced plant diversity(多样性)in
the park.In the absence of wolves,coyote (population also grew quickly.The
coyotes killed a large percentage of the park's red foxes,and completely drove away the
pak's beavers(河狸).
As early as 1966,biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves
to Yellowstone Park.They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote
problems.Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill
their farm animals or pets.
The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the
4
wolves.The U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf
packs in Yellowstone.Today,the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting
in at Yellowstone.Elk,deer and coyote populations are down,while beavers and red
foxes have made a comeback.The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable
experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the
country as well.
28.What is the text mainly about?
A.Wildlife research in the United States.
B.Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.
C.The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.
D.The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.
29.What does the underlined word displaced in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Tested.
B.recognized.
C.Forced out.
D.Invented.
30.What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about?
A.Damage to local ecology(生态).
B.Preservation of vegetation.
C.A decline in the park's income.
D.An increase in the variety of animals.
31.What is the author's attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project?
A.Doubtful.
B.Positive
C.Disapproving.
D.Uncaring.

When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents(),most of them
proudly replied,"Well,I speak perfect English/Chinese/etc.But this kind of response
makes me fail to understand the true meaning of accents.
Usually,what we mean when we say someone "has an accent"is that their accent is
different from the local one,or that pronunciations are different from our own.But this
definition of accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice.Funnily enough,in terms
of the language study,every person speaks with an accent.It is the regular differences in
how we produce sounds that define our accents.Even if you don't hear it yourself,you
speak with some sort of accent.In this sense,it's pointless to point out that someone"has
an accent'".We all do!
Every person speaks a dialect ()too.In the field of language study,a dialect
is a version of a language that is characterized by its variations of structure,phrases and
words.For instance,"You got eat or not?"(meaning "Have you eaten?")is an acceptable
5
and understood question in Singapore Oral English.The fact that this expression would
cause a standard American English speaker to take pause doesn't mean that Singapore
Oral English is“wrong”or“ngrammatical”.The sentence is well-formed and clearly
communicative,according to native Singapore English speakers'solid system of
grammar.Why should it be wrong just because it's different?
We need to move beyond a narrow conception of accents and dialects for the
benefit of everyone.
Language differences like these provide deep understandings into people's cultural
experiences and backgrounds.In a global age,the way one speaks is definitely a part of
one's identity.Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech.
We'd learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way.
32.What does the author think of his/her friends'response in paragraph 1?
A.It reflects their self confidence.
B.It reflects their language levels
C.It misses the point of communication
D.It misses the real meaning of accents.
33.Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English?
A.To support the use of dialects.
B.To show the diversity of dialects.
C.To correct a grammatical mistake.
D.To highlight a traditional approach
34.What does the author recommend us to do in the last paragraph?
A.Learn to speak with your local dialect.
B.Seek for an official definition of accents
C.Appreciate the value of accents and dialects.
D.Distinguish our local languages from others'
35.What can be a suitable title for this passage?
A.Everyone Has an Accent
B.Accents Weaken Our Uniqueness
C.Dialects Lead to Misunderstanding
D.Standard English Is at Risk
