9、 academic lectures.DThey are hosted at Yale University.Gray had great academic performance in high school and wanted to apply to Harvard and other top schools, but could not afford the application fees, let alone school fees. But with a passion for business, he dreamed of attending a college in the

10、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 didnt m

11、eet. 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 Millenniu

12、m Scholarship, which covers school fees from a bachelors to a doctors 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, receivi

13、ng 34 scholarships worth$1.3 million enough to pay for years of school, plus cover his living expenses with some leftover 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,h

14、undreds 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 Schollyshort for“scholarships” to help other teens get scholarship money.Though the app had thousands of downloads,Gray and his colleagues decided

16、took part in community service.CHe checked requirements with teammates.DHe matched his strengths with the criteria.5Why does Gray develop Scholly?ATo appeal for more downloads.BTo help other teens make apps.CTo facilitate scholarship application.DTo raise funds for his own schooling.6Which of the fo

18、oned 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 a

19、re 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 dont hear it yourself,

20、you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, its 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. Fo

21、r 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 doesnt mean that Singapore Oral English is“wrong”or“ungrammatical”.The sentence i

22、s well-formed and clearly communicative,according to native Singapore English speakerssolid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because its different?We need to move beyond a narrow conception of accents and dialects for the benefit of everyone.Language differences like these provide insi

23、ghts into peoples cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of ones identity. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. Wed learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way.8What does the author t

24、hink of his/ her friendsresponse in paragraph 1?AIt reflects their self confidence.BIt reflects their language levels.CIt misses the point of communication.DIt misses the real meaning of accents.9Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English?ATo justify the use of dialects.BTo show t

25、he diversity of dialects.CTo correct a grammatical mistake.DTo highlight a traditional approach.10What does the author recommend us to do in the last paragraph?ALearn to speak with your local dialect.BSeek for an official definition of accents.CAppreciate the value of accents and dialects.DDistingui

26、sh our local languages from others.11What can be a suitable title for this passage?AEveryone Has an AccentBAccents Enhance Our IdentitiesCDialects Lead to MisunderstandingDStandard English Is at RiskDo you ever hear a friend speak on a topic with the belief that“everyone”thinks the same way? Do you

27、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. Soci

28、al 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 algorithms (算法)to assess our

29、 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 ou

30、r comfort zone. While this becomes increasingly challenging, there are things we can do.The first step is to beef up 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, r

31、ead 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

32、 beliefs and opinions, we can work to make sure we are not simply stuck in a social media echo chamber.12What is a result of the social media echo chamber?APeople contact like-minded online users effectively.BPeople keep reading for more differing viewpoints.CPeople rely on algorithms to evaluate th

33、eir interests.DPeople only get information confirming their beliefs.13What does “beef up”underlined in paragraph 3 mean?ATrack.BImprove.CProvide.DIdentify.14Which of the following can help us get out of the echo chamber?ACriticizing fake news on social media.BExposing ourselves to opposing voices.CR

34、esearching primary sources of information.DAccepting our present beliefs and opinions.15What is the purpose of the text?ATo call on people to use algorithms frequently.BTo ask people not to take in information blindly.CTo promote the use of various social media sites.DTo inform people of new technol

When you catch yourself trying to be funny, slow down. Simply speak slower so youre not as likely to

38、 stop and repeat yourself.Try speaking at 60-70 % of your usual rate. _19_20_You dont need to seize every single opportunity to be funny. If youre in the middle of a bad joke, just end it. “You know what, now that Im telling it, its not as funny as it sounded in my head,”can be a bit of an awkward e
