In 2013, two years into her doctoral studies on forensic (法医的) jewelry, Maria Maclennan found herself in a hospital in Namibia, helping identify the victims of a plane crash that had killed everyone on board. It was the first time she had put her theoretical skills into practice, examining pieces of jewelry found in the ruins and using her knowledge of designs, materials and the industry to provide investigators with leads.
“Being a forensic jeweler is not really a job that actually exists,” Dr. Maclennan, 35, said during a recent interview at her office in Edinburgh. “In some ways, it’s something I’ve made up and am still making up as I go. ” Since then she has helped identify the victims of many catastrophes, including building collapses, natural disasters and a terrorist attack. And while the situations can be miserable — sometimes, she said, the jewelry was all but fused (熔合) into human remains — she has approached the job as a professional: “You’re wearing your forensic gloves and it’s all very methodical and detached (不带感情的) from the person, the human being.”
But there is a part of the process that she finds emotionally difficult. “It’s at the end, the returning, when you give the belongings back to the family, which really strikes me,” she said. “You look at the piece as a sort of a representation of the individual. Especially, I think, in the absence of the human body.”
Dr. Maclennan now is a member of a disaster victim identification team for Blake Emergency Services, based in Cheshire, England. “Maria is the only one who does what she does,” said Carole Davenport, the archaeology manager at Blake. “She’s at the forefront of a field that she invented. She took the skills she learned as a jeweler and she applied this to the forensics world. Jewelry can be particular to areas, and there are certain unique things about jewelry that can help you almost read life of a person. That’s what Maria does.”
4. What did Maclennan apply her jewelry knowledge to?
A. Furthering her doctoral studies.
B. Designing custom-made jewelry.
C. Recognizing the identities of victims.
D. Reforming forensic jewelry industry.
5. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. What Maclennan does as a forensic jeweler.
B. When forensic jewelry came into existence.
C. Why Maclennan chose to be a forensic jeweler.
D. How forensic jewelers are viewed by the public.
6. How does Maclennan feel while returning victims’ belongings?
A. She is hardly affected as it is a routine for her.
B. She feels sorry for what she has done to the victims.
C. She is relieved that the process brings comfort to the families.
D. She feels sad as she has deep empathy for the victims’ families.
7. How does Davenport describe Maclennan in the last paragraph?
A. Firm and ambitious. B. Innovative and competent.
C. Intelligent and generous. D. Sensitive and responsible.
C
We all notice bright colors. People who choose to go eye-catching, whether they express themselves through clothes or accessories (配饰), hear everything from “No one is going to miss you at the party” to “I would never have the courage to wear that.” But according to research, those comments may be both accurate and expected.
Adam D. Pazda and Christopher A. Thorstenson (2019) examined how we perceive people at first impression who wear bright colors. They specifically examined the effect of chroma (色度). They found that targets, both male and female, who were wearing or surrounded by high-chroma colors were perceived as more open and outgoing than in a low-chroma setting. They concluded that chroma is a variable of perception that can influence first impressions of personality.
Drilling down further, they found that high-chroma colors strengthened viewer perspective of openness and extraversion (外向), but not other personalities. These observations are important because some job responsibilities capitalize on some of the personalities inferred through bright colors.
Pazda and Thorstenson recognize what job seekers no doubt consider as they look for a career to match their personal nature: in some occupations, success is fueled by possessing certain personality qualities. They give examples of industries such as sales and marketing as well as customer service as fields where extraverts thrive (繁荣). Accordingly, applicants for these positions may be viewed more favorably and judged as more competent if they wear highly chromatic clothing.
Regarding the generality of their results, Pazda and Thorstenson note that one of the limitations of their study was their use of participants living in the United States, which means their findings may not predict results in other cultures. They note the possibility that chroma may influence the perception of personality differently in non-Western countries, and that high-chroma clothing may be perceived as at odds with social norms in other cultures. The practical takeaway, at least in the United States, appears to be that bright colors, like the peacock’s tail, will get you noticed. But depending on your goals, consider tailoring your chroma to the circumstances, personally and professionally.
8. What is the focus of the study mentioned in the passage?
A. The cultural implications of high chroma colors.
B. The influence of clothing on viewer perceptions.
C. The connection between clothing and job suitability.
D. The impact of high chroma colors on first impression.
9. What does the underlined phrase “capitalize on” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Draw on. B. Approve of. C. Subscribe to. D. Dig up.
10. Which might be a limitation of the study?
A. The culturally specific findings. B. The unmonitored research process.
C. The outdated data analysis methods. D. The relatively insufficient theoretical basis.
11. What is the practical advice given by the author in the last paragraph?
A. Reserve bright colors for social events. B. Always wear bright colors to be noticed.
C. Avoid bright colors in professional settings. D. Use bright colors strategically based on your goals.
D
Suppose you’re preparing for a tennis match. Your mind wanders, envisioning every possible outcome. Do you picture yourself in control? Or does your imagination toy with the idea of failure? The answer matters because it could affect your confidence and, ultimately, how well you will perform in the upcoming match. Although people don’t take such moments spent in their imagination as seriously as they should, it can be just as vital as any physical practice, directly impacting your chances of success.
This is especially the case in high-pressure situations where what’s happening inside your mind outweighs what’s happening outside. Your imagination shapes how you interpret the world around you and is capable of causing the same physiological (生理的) and emotional responses that are caused by external, real-life events. To take just one example, just as emotional pictures and sounds can cause the pupils to widen, so can emotional mental images in the mind.
Another phenomenon highlighting the significance of the imagination is called functional equivalence, which refers to the way the brain doesn’t always distinguish between imagining an action and physically doing it. For instance, when athletes vividly imagine running a race or sinking a basket, their brain scans reveal that the same neural circuits (神经回路) are activated as if they were physically performing the task. Other research with athletes using functional MRI (磁共振成像) has shown that mental practice engages regions of the brain involved in controlling the body and also activates areas linked to focus, motivation and emotional regulation.
The principle of functional equivalence extends beyond sports. In one study, pianists were asked to picture moving their fingers across the keys, hearing the tune, and seeing the sheet music. Astonishingly, the same motor areas in their brains lit up as when they actually played.
Many studies like this have proved the connection between mental imagery and realworld performance. Whether you’re aiming to build confidence or prepare for a challenge, using your imagination with more intention could make all the difference. The key is to switch your mental channel to an image of capability, control and empowerment.
12. How does the author start the text?
A By giving a definition. B. By explaining an opinion.
C. By presenting a context. D. By sharing an experience.
13. In which aspect is mental imagery the same as actual occurrences according to the text?
A. Requiring body movements. B. Initiating visual stimulations.
C. Affecting physical functions. D. Causing emotional responses.
14. In which case may functional equivalence occur?
A. A learner conducts a discussion with a professor.
B. A doctor envisions the procedure of an operation.
C. A pianist videos finger movements for perfection.
D. A speaker practices a deep breath before a speech.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Positive emotion brightens your life B. Mental imagery boosts your success
C. Imagination enhances your creativity D. Physical practice unlocks your potential

Complimenting (赞美) others is a simple yet powerful way to build better relationships, boost someone’s self-esteem, and spread positive energy. ____16____. Here are some tips to help you become a master at complimenting others and make someone’s day.

Complimenting someone on what they’re really good at is a sure way to bring a smile to his or her face every time.
Link to their goals or values
If you know what a person values or what their goals are, you can tailor your compliment accordingly. ____19____. For instance, if your friend is passionate about environmental protection and has organized a recycling campaign, you can say, “I really admire your dedication to protecting the environment. This recycling campaign is making a real difference, and it shows how much you care.”
Add a positive prediction
Ending your compliment with a positive prediction can make it even more powerful. ____20____. For example, “You have a real talent for public speaking. I’m sure you’ll be a great speaker in the future and inspire many people.”
By following these steps, you’ll become a master at making others feel valued and appreciated.
A. Admire their personal achievements
B. Avoid giving forced or insincere compliments
C. It gives the person something to look forward to

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Before I thought I needed to get rid of my Southern accent, I was proud of my heritage. As a child, there was no sound I loved more than my grandmother’s accent: thick, sweet, warm. She used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” My own voice reflected my family’s past and present — part northern Mississippi, part Tennessee delta, all southern.
As I grew up, I began to realize that outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and uneducated, ignorant and narrow-minded. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town and started a new life in some far-off big cities. I thought I would have to talk less country. So I killed a piece of myself. I am ashamed of it, but I am more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else.
I met Emily in college, who was also a southerner. She worked for the student newspaper, where I spent most of my waking hours, and we became friends. Unlike me, she embraced her roots.
Emily was two years younger. I knew she cared about my opinion. I advised her to be more like me, abandoning her accent. During my senior year, Emily and I participated in a speech contest. After Emily, it was my turn, but I was fully confident about my accent. I took it upon myself to “help” Emily prepare for it, concentrating on training her pronunciation.
“I,” I said, firmly.
“Ahye,” Emily responded, helplessly. I could tell she tried her best to bite off the extra syllable, but she failed. Frustrated, she tossed aside her glasses. “I quit. I don’t think I have to get rid of my accent for the presentation. If they want to laugh, so be it!”
I had told myself I was helping her. Now I was not sure.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then came the day when Emily delivered her speech.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Suddenly, my grandmother’s words hit me.

【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了GPA的定义、计算方法以及不及格的后果。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据How to calculate a GPA?部分中“Divide the total number of grade points by the total credit hours and you get the GPA.(将总绩点除以总学分,你就得到了GPA)”以及表格最后一行中总绩点为33,总学分为11,可计算出GPA为3.0。故选B。
【2题详解】

In 2013, two years into her doctoral studies on forensic (法医的) jewelry, Maria Maclennan found herself in a hospital in Namibia, helping identify the victims of a plane crash that had killed everyone on board. It was the first time she had put her theoretical skills into practice, examining pieces of jewelry found in the ruins and using her knowledge of designs, materials and the industry to provide investigators with leads.
“Being a forensic jeweler is not really a job that actually exists,” Dr. Maclennan, 35, said during a recent interview at her office in Edinburgh. “In some ways, it’s something I’ve made up and am still making up as I go. ” Since then she has helped identify the victims of many catastrophes, including building collapses, natural disasters and a terrorist attack. And while the situations can be miserable — sometimes, she said, the jewelry was all but fused (熔合) into human remains — she has approached the job as a professional: “You’re wearing your forensic gloves and it’s all very methodical and detached (不带感情的) from the person, the human being.”
But there is a part of the process that she finds emotionally difficult. “It’s at the end, the returning, when you give the belongings back to the family, which really strikes me,” she said. “You look at the piece as a sort of a representation of the individual. Especially, I think, in the absence of the human body.”
Dr. Maclennan now is a member of a disaster victim identification team for Blake Emergency Services, based in Cheshire, England. “Maria is the only one who does what she does,” said Carole Davenport, the archaeology manager at Blake. “She’s at the forefront of a field that she invented. She took the skills she learned as a jeweler and she applied this to the forensics world. Jewelry can be particular to areas, and there are certain unique things about jewelry that can help you almost read life of a person. That’s what Maria does.”
4. What did Maclennan apply her jewelry knowledge to?
A. Furthering her doctoral studies.
B. Designing custom-made jewelry.
C. Recognizing the identities of victims.
D. Reforming forensic jewelry industry.
5. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. What Maclennan does as a forensic jeweler.
B. When forensic jewelry came into existence.
C. Why Maclennan chose to be a forensic jeweler.
D. How forensic jewelers are viewed by the public.
6. How does Maclennan feel while returning victims’ belongings?
A. She is hardly affected as it is a routine for her.
B. She feels sorry for what she has done to the victims.
C. She is relieved that the process brings comfort to the families.
D. She feels sad as she has deep empathy for the victims’ families.
7. How does Davenport describe Maclennan in the last paragraph?
A. Firm and ambitious. B. Innovative and competent.
C. Intelligent and generous. D. Sensitive and responsible.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B

We all notice bright colors. People who choose to go eye-catching, whether they express themselves through clothes or accessories (配饰), hear everything from “No one is going to miss you at the party” to “I would never have the courage to wear that.” But according to research, those comments may be both accurate and expected.
Adam D. Pazda and Christopher A. Thorstenson (2019) examined how we perceive people at first impression who wear bright colors. They specifically examined the effect of chroma (色度). They found that targets, both male and female, who were wearing or surrounded by high-chroma colors were perceived as more open and outgoing than in a low-chroma setting. They concluded that chroma is a variable of perception that can influence first impressions of personality.
Drilling down further, they found that high-chroma colors strengthened viewer perspective of openness and extraversion (外向), but not other personalities. These observations are important because some job responsibilities capitalize on some of the personalities inferred through bright colors.
Pazda and Thorstenson recognize what job seekers no doubt consider as they look for a career to match their personal nature: in some occupations, success is fueled by possessing certain personality qualities. They give examples of industries such as sales and marketing as well as customer service as fields where extraverts thrive (繁荣). Accordingly, applicants for these positions may be viewed more favorably and judged as more competent if they wear highly chromatic clothing.
Regarding the generality of their results, Pazda and Thorstenson note that one of the limitations of their study was their use of participants living in the United States, which means their findings may not predict results in other cultures. They note the possibility that chroma may influence the perception of personality differently in non-Western countries, and that high-chroma clothing may be perceived as at odds with social norms in other cultures. The practical takeaway, at least in the United States, appears to be that bright colors, like the peacock’s tail, will get you noticed. But depending on your goals, consider tailoring your chroma to the circumstances, personally and professionally.
8. What is the focus of the study mentioned in the passage?
A. The cultural implications of high chroma colors.
B. The influence of clothing on viewer perceptions.
C. The connection between clothing and job suitability.
D. The impact of high chroma colors on first impression.
9. What does the underlined phrase “capitalize on” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A Draw on. B. Approve of. C. Subscribe to. D. Dig up.
10. Which might be a limitation of the study?
A. The culturally specific findings. B. The unmonitored research process.
C. The outdated data analysis methods. D. The relatively insufficient theoretical basis.
11. What is the practical advice given by the author in the last paragraph?
A. Reserve bright colors for social events. B. Always wear bright colors to be noticed.
C. Avoid bright colors in professional settings. D. Use bright colors strategically based on your goals.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. D

Suppose you’re preparing for a tennis match. Your mind wanders, envisioning every possible outcome. Do you picture yourself in control? Or does your imagination toy with the idea of failure? The answer matters because it could affect your confidence and, ultimately, how well you will perform in the upcoming match. Although people don’t take such moments spent in their imagination as seriously as they should, it can be just as vital as any physical practice, directly impacting your chances of success.
This is especially the case in high-pressure situations where what’s happening inside your mind outweighs what’s happening outside. Your imagination shapes how you interpret the world around you and is capable of causing the same physiological (生理的) and emotional responses that are caused by external, real-life events. To take just one example, just as emotional pictures and sounds can cause the pupils to widen, so can emotional mental images in the mind.
Another phenomenon highlighting the significance of the imagination is called functional equivalence, which refers to the way the brain doesn’t always distinguish between imagining an action and physically doing it. For instance, when athletes vividly imagine running a race or sinking a basket, their brain scans reveal that the same neural circuits (神经回路) are activated as if they were physically performing the task. Other research with athletes using functional MRI (磁共振成像) has shown that mental practice engages regions of the brain involved in controlling the body and also activates areas linked to focus, motivation and emotional regulation.
The principle of functional equivalence extends beyond sports. In one study, pianists were asked to picture moving their fingers across the keys, hearing the tune, and seeing the sheet music. Astonishingly, the same motor areas in their brains lit up as when they actually played.
Many studies like this have proved the connection between mental imagery and realworld performance. Whether you’re aiming to build confidence or prepare for a challenge, using your imagination with more intention could make all the difference. The key is to switch your mental channel to an image of capability, control and empowerment.
12. How does the author start the text?
A. By giving a definition. B. By explaining an opinion.
C. By presenting a context. D. By sharing an experience.
13. In which aspect is mental imagery the same as actual occurrences according to the text?
A. Requiring body movements. B. Initiating visual stimulations.
C. Affecting physical functions. D. Causing emotional responses.
14. In which case may functional equivalence occur?
A. A learner conducts a discussion with a professor.
B. A doctor envisions the procedure of an operation.
C. A pianist videos finger movements for perfection.
D. A speaker practices a deep breath before a speech.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Positive emotion brightens your life B. Mental imagery boosts your success
C. Imagination enhances your creativity D. Physical practice unlocks your potential
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述心理意象(mental imagery)对现实表现的影响,介绍了“功能等同”(functional equivalence)理论,指出大脑在想象动作时与实际执行动作会激活相同的神经回路,强调有意运用想象力可提升自信和挑战准备效果。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Suppose you’re preparing for a tennis match. Your mind wanders, envisioning every possible outcome.(假设你正在准备一场网球比赛,你的思绪游离,想象着每一种可能的结果)”可知,作者通过设定一个具体情境(准备网球比赛时的心理活动)引入话题。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Your imagination shapes how you interpret the world around you and is capable of causing the same physiological (生理的) and emotional responses that are caused by external, real-life events.(你的想象力塑造了你对周围世界的理解,并能引起与外部现实生活事件所引起的相同的生理和情感反应)”可知,心理意象与实际事件在“引起情绪反应”方面具有一致性。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Another phenomenon highlighting the significance of the imagination is called functional equivalence, which refers to the way the brain doesn’t always distinguish between imagining an action and physically doing it.(另一个突出想象力重要性的现象称为功能等同,指大脑并不总是能区分想象一个动作和实际执行它)”及“Other research with athletes using functional MRI (磁共振成像) has shown that mental practice engages regions of the brain involved in controlling the body and also activates areas linked to focus, motivation and emotional regulation. (其他对运动员使用功能性磁共振成像的研究表明,心理练习会激活大脑中控制身体的区域,也会激活与专注、动机和情绪调节相关的区域)”可推知,该理论适用于“想象某动作时大脑激活与实际执行相同神经回路” 的场景。B选项“医生设想手术流程”符合“想象动作(envisioning the procedure)”且未实际执行的情境,符合功能等同理论。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章开篇以准备网球比赛时的心理活动为例,引出想象力对实际表现有影响这一话题,接着阐述“功能等同”现象,即大脑对想象动作和实际动作的反应相似以及最后一段“Many studies like this have proved the connection between mental imagery and real - world performance. Whether you’re aiming to build confidence or prepare for a challenge, using your imagination with more intention could make all the difference.(许多这样的研究已经证明了心理意象和现实世界表现之间的联系。无论你是想要建立信心还是为挑战做准备,更有意图地运用你的想象力可能会产生很大的不同)”都表明了心理意象对成功有推动作用。 B选项“心理意象助推成功”最符合文章主旨,是合适的标题。故选 B。

Complimenting (赞美) others is a simple yet powerful way to build better relationships, boost someone’s self-esteem, and spread positive energy. ____16____. Here are some tips to help you become a master at complimenting others and make someone’s day.
Be sincere in your words
Sincerity is the foundation of a great compliment. People can usually tell whether a compliment is genuine or not. ____17____. Instead, take the time to find something you truly admire about the person. For example, if you say, “Your hard work on this project really shows. I can see how much effort you’ve put in,” it will be much more meaningful than a casual, insincere “Good job.”
____18____
A compliment will feel more special when it’s clear you’ve noticed something that really matters to the person you’re talking to. For example, if your mother-in-law spends a lot of time cultivating her beautiful flower garden, you could compliment her on her excellent eye for color. Complimenting someone on what they’re really good at is a sure way to bring a smile to his or her face every time.
Link to their goals or values
If you know what a person values or what their goals are, you can tailor your compliment accordingly. ____19____. For instance, if your friend is passionate about environmental protection and has organized a recycling campaign, you can say, “I really admire your dedication to protecting the environment. This recycling campaign is making a real difference, and it shows how much you care.”
Add a positive prediction
Ending your compliment with a positive prediction can make it even more powerful. ____20____. For example, “You have a real talent for public speaking. I’m sure you’ll be a great speaker in the future and inspire many people.”
By following these steps, you’ll become a master at making others feel valued and appreciated.
A. Admire their personal achievements
B. Avoid giving forced or insincere compliments
C. It gives the person something to look forward to
D. Don’t compliment someone just in complicated words
E. This can make your compliment more relevant and meaningful
F. However, not everyone knows how to give effective compliments
G. A compliment should be in line with the situation and your goals
【答案】16. F 17. B 18. A 19. E 20. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要论述了四种不同的赞美策略来帮助大家掌握赞美的技巧。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Complimenting (赞美) others is a simple yet powerful way to build better relationships, boost someone’s self-esteem, and spread positive energy. (赞美他人是一种简单而有力的方式,可以建立更好的关系,增强自尊,传播正能量。)”以及后文“Here are some tips to help you become a master at complimenting others and make someone’s day. (这里有一些技巧可以帮助你成为赞美别人的大师,让别人开心。)”可知,前一句突出了 compliment的作用,后一句提出一些建议来帮助如何更好地赞美,由此可知中间需要强调并非每一个人都能很好地给出有效的赞美。F选项“然而,并不是每个人都知道如何给予有效的赞美。”符合语境,故选F。
【17题详解】
根据小标题“Be sincere in your words (说话真诚)”以及后文“Instead, take the time to find something you truly admire about the person. (相反,花点时间去寻找你真正欣赏这个人的地方。)”可知,本句与后文意义相反,说明不要给出不真诚的赞美,要真心去发现对方值得赞赏之处,故B选项“避免强加或不真诚的赞美”符合语境,故选B。
【18题详解】
根据本段内容“A compliment will feel more special when it’s clear you’ve noticed something that really matters to the person you’re talking to. For example, if your mother-in-law spends a lot of time cultivating her beautiful flower garden, you could compliment her on her excellent eye for color. Complimenting someone on what they’re really good at is a sure way to bring a smile to his or her face every time. (当你清楚地注意到与你交谈的人真正关心的事情时,赞美会让人感觉更特别。例如,如果你的岳母花了很多时间培育她美丽的花园,你可以称赞她对颜色的出色眼光。赞美别人真正擅长的东西肯定能让他/她每次都面带微笑。)”可知,本段主要说明了要赞美对方个人擅长的有成就感的事情。故A选项“欣赏他们的个人成就”符合语境,故选A。
【19题详解】
根据上文“If you know what a person values or what their goals are, you can tailor your compliment accordingly. (如果你知道一个人的价值观或他们的目标是什么,你可以相应地调整你的赞美。)”可知,上文建议根据对方的目标或价值观来赞美,本句承接上文,说明这样做的好处。故E选项“这可以使你的赞美更有针对性和意义”符合语境,故选E。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Ending your compliment with a positive prediction can make it even more powerful. (用一个积极的预测来结束你的赞美会让它更有力量。)”以及后文“For example, “You have a real talent for public speaking. I’m sure you’ll be a great speaker in the future and inspire many people.”(例如,“你在公众演讲方面真的很有天赋。我相信你将来会成为一个伟大的演说家,激励很多人。”)”可知,该段强调积极的预测能让赞美更有力,本句解释了积极预测的作用,与后文例子相符。故C选项“这给了对方一些值得期待的东西”符合语境,故选C。

第二节 (满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整短文。
Before I thought I needed to get rid of my Southern accent, I was proud of my heritage. As a child, there was no sound I loved more than my grandmother’s accent: thick, sweet, warm. She used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” My own voice reflected my family’s past and present — part northern Mississippi, part Tennessee delta, all southern.
As I grew up, I began to realize that outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and uneducated, ignorant and narrow-minded. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town and started a new life in some far-off big cities. I thought I would have to talk less country. So I killed a piece of myself. I am ashamed of it, but I am more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else.
I met Emily in college, who was also a southerner. She worked for the student newspaper, where I spent most of my waking hours, and we became friends. Unlike me, she embraced her roots.
Emily was two years younger. I knew she cared about my opinion. I advised her to be more like me, abandoning her accent. During my senior year, Emily and I participated in a speech contest. After Emily, it was my turn, but I was fully confident about my accent. I took it upon myself to “help” Emily prepare for it, concentrating on training her pronunciation.
“I,” I said, firmly.
“Ahye,” Emily responded, helplessly. I could tell she tried her best to bite off the extra syllable, but she failed. Frustrated, she tossed aside her glasses. “I quit. I don’t think I have to get rid of my accent for the presentation. If they want to laugh, so be it!”
I had told myself I was helping her Now I was not sure.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then came the day when Emily delivered her speech.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Suddenly, my grandmother’s words hit me.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Then came the day when Emily delivered her speech. Hands trembling and face pale, Emily glanced around, from which I could tell a surge of tension took hold of her. At the thought of what the audience would react when hearing her accent, my heart pounded wildly. “Come on Emily! You can make it!” I murmured. Hardly had Emily started her speech with her signature accent when some people sniggered and whispered, but Emily just continued her speech with a louder voice and a firm tone. Gradually, immersed in her speech, the audience were impressed with her confidence and enthusiasm. After her speech, a stormy applause broke out.
Suddenly, my grandmother’s words hit me. “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” I couldn’t help thinking as a child, it was my grandmother’s accent that I loved more than anything else. Weighed down by guilt and regret, I realized how unreasonable it was to abandon my accent, which reflected my past and present. With quick and light footsteps, Emily rushed to me, hugged me tightly, and said softly, “Embrace your roots. Be proud of it!” Having heard what she said, I nodded firmly with tears blurring my eyes, promising not to get rid of it. I mounted the platform and spoke, using my southern accent, thick, sweet and warm.
