2．I don't remember the exact date I met Marty for the first time.Like a lot of people who want to get through a checkout line，I found my thoughts on speed，nothing more.The line I was standing in wasn't moving as quickly as I wanted，and I glanced toward the cashier，who was receiving money from customers.
He was an old man in his sixties.I thought，well，it probably took him a little longer to get the jobs done.For the next few minutes I watched him.He greeted every customer before he began scanning the goods they were purchasing.Sure，his words were the usual，"How's it going？" But he did something different—he actually listened to people.Then he would respond to what they had said and talk with them briefly.
I thought it was strange，but I guessed I had grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of a conversation without thinking.Usually，after a while，you don't give any thought to the question and just say something back quietly.
This old cashier seemed sincere about wanting to know how people were feeling.Meanwhile，the high-tech cash register rang up their purchases and he announced what they owed.When customers handed money to him，he pushed the appropriate keys，the cash drawer popped open，and he counted out their change.
Then magic happened.
He placed the change in his left hand，walked around the counter to the customers，and extended his right hand in an act of friendship.As their hands met，the old cashier looked the customers in the eyes. "I want to thank you for shopping here today，" he told them. "You have a great day.Bye-bye." The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless.
Now it was my turn.I glanced down at the name tag on his red waistcoat，the kind experienced Wal-Mart cashier wore.It read，"Marty."
Marty told me how much I owed and I handed him some money.The next thing I knew he was standing beside me，offering his right hand and holding my change in his left hand.His kind eyes locked onto mine.Smiling，and with a firm handshake…

3．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 an assumption by many non-Brits that everyone in Britain speaks with what's known as a Received Pronunciation （RP，標準發(fā)音） accent，also called "the Queen's English"．However，while many people do talk this way，most Britons speak in their own regional 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 intelligent 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 an RP accent．In fact， doing the opposite may even give you strength．
Kong Seong-jae，25，is an internet celebrity from Seoul．After studying in the UK，he picked up several regional 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 words，and they become much friendlier．I think it makes a bit of 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．
（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 in the UK．
C．Foreign visitors are disappointed at their own spoken English．
D．Any Received Pronunciation around the world is also called "the Queen's English"．
（2）What do people think of the Brummie accent？
A．Favored by foreign visitors to the UK．
B．Closest to the RP accent．
C．Smart and easy to understand．
D．Spoken by people of lower class．
（3）What does the underlined phrase "doing the opposite" in Paragraph 4 refer to？
A．Speaking in a RP accent．
B．Speaking in regional accents．
C．Speaking the Brummie accent．
D．Speaking like Harry Potter．
（4）What is the passage mainly about？
A．A study about the most intelligent accent in Britain．
B．A comparison between different British accents．
C．How much British people value the RP accent．
D．The impact of regional accents on people's lives．組卷：9引用：4難度：0.6 -
4．Mr.Pagano is watching a video of a polar bear swimming after a seal.The seal escapes!The bear meets another bear.They sniff at each other and then go separate ways.What makes this video so unusual is that it's from the point of view of the polar bear.A camera was previously（先前）put around the bear's neck by Mr.Pagano's research team with the aim to find out what polar bears will need to survive in their changing habitat.
According to the scientists，polar bears are endangered because of Earth's warming climate，which is shrinking the ice pack that floats on the Arctic Ocean.The ice pack goes through a yearly cycle.In the fall and winter，the ice pack grows southward，extending toward North America，Asia，and Europe.By the ending of winter，the ice pack lies over shallower waters near land，where seals live.The polar bears hunt along the edge of that ice，eating seals in the spring and early summer before the ice over shallow waters melts.It's how the bears fatten up for the next winter.
In the past few decades，the ice pack has started to grow later in the fall.As a result，it isn't as thick and starts to melt and break up earlier in the spring.That gives the bears less sea ice for hunting and forces some of them to swim farther to move between land and ice habitats.Studies show that，in places where the ice has been breaking up earlier for decades，the number of bears is going down，and their overall health is getting worse.Scientists want to know if bears are still finding enough to eat and how far they have to travel，or swim，to find food.
Using the GPS collars，the researchers confirmed（證實）that some bears are swimming long distances.Of 52 bears，20 took a total of 50 long ---distance swims，each one a journey of more than 30 miles.Are the long ---distance travels harming their chances for survival？If polar bears are going to survive in the warming Arctic，humans may need to act right now.With the work of scientists like Mr.Pagano，a ray of hope will finally cut open the darkness.
（1）What might be the profession of Mr.Pagano？
A．A climate scientist.
B．A zoologist.
C．A GPS engineer.
D．An ice observe.
（2）Why is the video professional according to the passage？
A．It is made by professional animal researchers.
B．Its aim to trace been behaviors in North Pole.
C．It is filmed by a camera attached to a polar bear.
D．It uses hi---tech GPS to study polar bears' habitats.
（3）Which is the factor endangering polar bears' lives？
A．The shrinking shallow waters.
B．The decreasing number of seals.
C．The long---distance travels for habitats.
D．The changed yearly cycle of ice packs.
（4）What might be the author's attitude toward Mr.Pagano's researcher？
A．Positive.
B．Doubtful.
C．Disapproval.
D．Critical.組卷：10引用：2難度：0.5
