But with a passion for business, he dreamed of attending a college in the Northeast so he could be close to New York City and other major business centers.

In the process of his application, Gray was determined to deal with it by himself. He looked at hundreds of websites, checking scholarship requirements. Many scholarships had very specific qualifications that he didn't meet. But Gray had 600 volunteer hours and started a nonprofit organization which organized volunteer opportunities for students when he was in high school. So he searched for scholarships that looked for excellent grades combined with leadership and community service.

Soon, he got the Gates Millennium Scholarship, which covers school fees from a bachelor's to a doctor's degree. A$20,000 scholarship from Coca-Cola followed. He also received a 820,000 Horatio Alger Scholarship and the $ 10,000 Axa Achievement Scholarship. And smaller awards just kept coming. In the end, he had amazing success, receiving 34 scholarships worth $1.3 million- enough to pay for years of school, plus cover his 1iving expenses with some 1eftover to invest.

Gray has used the money for schooling, room and board, daily supplies, travel for interviews, and other needs. After appearing at national conferences and in the media, hundreds of students and parents have emailed and called for advice, which inspired Gray, now a business major at Drexel, to make a mobile-phone app called Scholly一short for scholarships"- to help other teens get scholarship money.

Though the app had thousands of downloads, Gray and his colleagues decided to keep the price only at 99 cents because their purpose was more public service than profit. As for his career plans, he has the goal of a true enterpriser. "Ideally not to have to get a job when I graduate.

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 misses the point.

More often than not, 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 1anguage 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(方言) 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 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 "ungrammatical". 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 insights into people's cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct 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.

28. 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.

29. Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English?

A. To justify the use of dialects.

B. To show the diversity of dialects.

C. To correct a grammatical mistake.

D. To highlight a traditional approach.

30. What does the author recommend us to do in the 1ast 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'.

31. What can be a suitable title for this passage?

A. Everyone Has an Accent

B. Accents Enhance Our Identities

C. Dialects Lead to Misunderstanding

D. Standard English Is at Risk

D

Do you ever hear a friend speak on a topic with the belief that* everyone' *thinks the same way? Do you often find yourself surrounded in a social media feed that is completely tailored to you and your beliefs, reading along without the immediate realization?

A social media echo chamber(回声壁) is when one experiences a tailored media experience that leave out opposing viewpoints and differing voices. Social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube connect groups of like-minded users together based on shared content preferences. As a result, people see and take in information according to our preexisting beliefs and opinions. Social media companies therefore rely on algorisms(算法) to assess our interests and flood us with information that will keep our attention. The algorithms focus on what we “like, and share" to keep feeding content that makes us comfortable.

In order to truly get access to all information and to evaluate our media, we must give ourselves the opportunity to step out of our comfort zone. While this becomes increasingly challenging, there are things we can do. The first step is to beefup your media consumption sources. Adding in a few media sources with differing opinions will allow you to at least understand what people are saying outside of your echo chamber. Next, read each thing you see with a critical eye Make sure that each thing you accept as truth is truly fact. Lastly, attempt to search out reliable new sources that are known for trying their best to leave out false information. By accepting that our media buffet on social media is a product of our present beliefs and opinions, we can work to make sure we are not simply stuck in a social media echo chamber.

32. What is a result of the social media echo chamber?

A. People contact like-minded online users effectively.

B. People keep reading for more differing viewpoints.

C. People rely on algorithms to evaluate their interests.

D. People only get information confirming their beliefs.

33. What does “beef up' underlined in paragraph 3 mean?

A. Track.

B. Improve.

C. Provide.

D. Identify.

34. Which of the following can help us get out of the echo chamber?

A. Criticizing fake news on social media.

B. Exposing ourselves to opposing voices.

C. Researching primary sources of information.

D. Accepting our present beliefs and opinions.

35. What is the purpose of the text?

A. To call on people to use algorithms frequently.

B. To ask people not to take in information blindly.

C. To promote the use of various social media sites.

D. To inform people of new technology developments.

Mara and Peter lived in a coastal city. The greatest pleasure in summer for them was to swim at their local beach after school. But one day they started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters. More often than not, they would find plastic bags thrown on the beach. Worse sill, as they swam in the water, some plastic bags would float around them and even stick to their legs when they walked to the shore.

They were upset and decided something needed to be done to stop the beautiful sea becoming consumed by waste. One weekend Maria and Peter brought a big bag to the beach and determined to clean it up. Sweat streamed down from their forehead while they bent down and picked up the plastic bags. To their disappointment, after a day's hard work there were still many plastic bags lying on the beach or floating in the water. Going home with aching legs and arms, Maria and Peter were almost defeated by a strong sense of failure.

That night over dinner with their parents, the pair ale silently. Noticing their low spirits, Mother asked gently, “You two looked so down. What happened? Exchanging glances with Peter, Maria replied in a 1ow voice, "It's those annoying plastic bags. We tried to clean up but it was just impossible. "Understanding the pair's disappointment, their father patted them on the back and comforted, "Well, it's really hard for just two of you to fix such a big problem. Just two of us." complained Maria and Peter, looking at each other Suddenly, an idea lashed through their minds, their eyes shining with excitement. Yes, that's the point! We should make more people aware of the problem and encourage them to take action!" the pair said in chorus.

注意:

1.续写词数应为150左右;

Quickly finishing their dinner, the pair went upstairs and started planning.

Excited and nervous, they posted the video and article on WeChat.

Dear friends, I am more than delighted to have the chance to speak here on behalf of our school volleyball team from China.

With our exchange program drawing to an end, I want to express our sincere gratitude to you for your kindness and generosity. But for your help, we wouldn't have had such an eye-opening experience. All of us have learnt from each other and become attached to each other. During our stay here, we were so thrilled to have participated in exciting volleyball competitions, inspiring lectures and wonderful field trips. Not only have we developed friendship, but also we have improved our culture awareness.

So my dear friends, I want to tell you that this is just the beginning of our friendship. We believe that it will continue to flourish in the future. Thank you!

Quickly finishing their dinner, the pair went upstairs and started planning. Maria and Peter decided to take advantage of the Internet. "Maybe we can write an article to arouse people's awareness." Maria proposed. “Good idea! We can also make a video!" Peter added. The next few hours witnessed their heated discussion and growing confidence in a clean and beautiful coast. The next day, they went to the beach and filmed a short video showing plastic bags lying on the beach and floating in the sea. Peter, who was good at writing, wrote an article talking about the present situation of the beach and asking people to take part in the clean-up.

Excited and nervous, they posted the video and article on WeChat. To their amazement, their post went viral online immediately. Countless comments flooded in saying how heartbroken they were when looking at the polluted beach and ocean. What amazed Maria and Peter more was that numerous people in their community, encouraged by their efforts, offered to join in their clean-up. More and more people came to the beach to collect plastic bags and they also appealed to others to avoid throwing or using plastic bags. A year later, with their joint and continuous effort, the coast regained its beauty and Maria and Peter regained their long-awaited pleasure.
