Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2025·浙江强基联盟联考)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 a thought by many non-Brits that everyone in Britain speaks with what's known as a Received Pronunciation (RP, 标准发音) accent(口音), also called “the Queen's English”．However, while many people do talk this way, most Britons speak in their own local accents. Scouse, Glaswegian and Black Country—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 in a 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 people reading a passage in three different UK accents were shown to a second group of people.The group then rated how smart they thought the readers sounded.The lowest-rated accent was Brummie, native to people from Birmingham, a city whose accent is considered working class. However, there is no need to be disappointed though you are not speaking in a RP accent.In fact，doing the opposite may even give you strength. Seong-Jae Kong is an Internet celebrity from Seoul.After studying in the UK, he picked up several local accents.He's now famous for his online videos, where he shows off the various accents he's learned.“British people usually get really excited when I use some of their local dialect(方言) words, and they become much friendlier.I think it makes a bond between local people and foreigners to speak in 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. [语篇解读]　 本文是一篇说明文。大多数人想让自己的英语发音更地道，就去学习标准发音。文章向读者提供了一个相反的建议，就是去学习英国的一些地方方言，这样你可能会交到更多的朋友。 1．What can we infer from paragraph 1? A．Non-Brits usually hold that all Britons speak in a RP accent. B．Only “the Queen's English” is accepted by people in the UK. C．Foreign visitors are disappointed at their own spoken English. D．Any RP around the world is also called “the Queen's English”． 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段中“Usually, there's a thought by many non-Brits that everyone in Britain speaks with what's known as a Received Pronunciation accent, also called ‘the Queen's English’”．可知非英国人通常认为，所有的英国人都有标准口音。 答案　A 2．What do people think of the Brummie accent? A．Favored by visitors to the UK. B．Closest to the RP accent. C．Smart and easy to understand. D．Spoken by people of the lower class. 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中“The lowest-rated accent was Brummie, native to people from Birmingham, a city whose accent is considered working class.”可知人们认为下层社会的人说Brummie口音。 答案　D 3．What does the underlined phrase “doing the opposite” in paragraph 4 refer to? A．Speaking in a RP accent. B．Speaking in local accents. C．Speaking in the Brummie accent. D．Speaking like Harry Potter. 解析　词义猜测题。根据画线部分上文“However, there is no need to be disappointed though you are not speaking in a RP accent.(然而，尽管你没有说标准口音，也没有必要感到失望。)”可推断出“In fact, doing the opposite may even give you strength”的意思是“事实上，说话带有地方口音甚至可能给你优势”。下文举了一个实际例子说明。 答案　B 4．What is the passage mainly about? A.A study about the smartest accent in Britain. B．The differences among different Englishes. C．How much British people value the RP accent. D．The effect of local accents on people's lives. 解析　主旨大意题。 通过阅读文章，可知本文通过介绍英国标准发音之外的一些方言的使用情况，说明了地方口音对人们生活的影响。 答案　D B Many people have fears while traveling abroad.But with so many good places to visit in this world, fears that hold you back are stopping you from wonderful experiences more than they are protecting you.Not being able to communicate can not only be upsetting, but sometimes even be a bit scary.But don't let a fear of failing to speak the foreign language inhibit you. First, try to learn a few words ahead of time, like please, thank you, hello and goodbye.This will go a long way in showing the locals you're trying.A phrase book can help, but remember that you may not understand the reply you get. Second, write down the hotel you chose, and any places of interest you're planning on visiting.It helps to show an address to a taxi driver or someone you're asking for directions, if you have it written down since it's possible that you won't pronounce it correctly. Third, one of the few words I find to be common is “toilet”．In the US, people often ask where to find the bathroom or restroom, but that's not so easily understood for someone whose native language isn't English.But even in the middle of Southeast Asia, people understand the word toilet. Lastly, try drawing.Andy and I were in a taxi in Izmir, Turkey trying to get to a castle, but the driver didn't know what we were saying.So Andy quickly drew a castle.The driver laughed and nodded, and then brought us to the castle. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇应用文。如果你想去国外旅游，但不懂该国的语言怎么办？为此，作者给我们提出了四条建议。 5．What does the underlined word “inhibit” in the first paragraph mean? A．Hurt. B．Stop. C．Change. D．Protect. 解析　词义猜测题。根据上文中的“fears that hold you back are stopping you from wonderful experiences more than they are protecting you”和下文作者给出的建议可知，出国旅行时的害怕会阻止你经历美好的旅行，因此“不要让不会说外语的恐惧阻止你”，故inhibit与stop意思相近。 答案　B 6．Why does the author advise us to write down the name of our hotel? A．Because we can ask whether it is a good hotel. B．Because we can learn to pronounce it correctly. C．Because we can practice writing the language ahead of time. D．Because we may fail to pronounce it correctly when asking for directions. 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知，作者建议我们把酒店的名字写下来，因为我们有可能在问路的时候不能正确地念出这个名字。 答案　D 7．What is the author's purpose in telling us his own story in Izmir, Turkey? A．To tell us drawing is helpful. B．To show drawing is easy. C．To show they are wise. D．To tell us how to draw. 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Lastly, try drawing.”可知，作者的最后一条建议是试着画下来。作者用自己的经历告诉我们，画下来这种做法是有帮助的。 答案　A 8．What does the author try to do through the text? A．Reduce our fears of learning a foreign language. B．Teach us how to learn a foreign language abroad. C．Tell us how to communicate when we tour abroad. D．Show us what to do before we tour abroad. 解析　写作意图题。通读全文可知，本文作者主要给我们提出了一些建议，告诉我们在国外旅游时应该如何交流。 答案　C Ⅱ.完形填空 Alice is a student who came to my class last year.Though she has already turned 60, Alice looks so fit and 1 ， with a bright smile and an enthusiastic attitude.I am Alice's teacher in class, but I feel she is my teacher in life.
