15、nese mainland. B Harper Lee, whose 1961 novel To Kill a Mockingbird on the racial troubles of the American deep south, has died at the age of 89. Until last year, Lee had been something of a one-book literary legend. To Kill a Moclangbird sold more than 40 million copies around the world and earned
16、her a Pulitzer prize, remaining a towering presence in American literature. Another novel, Go Seta Watchman, was controversially published in July 2015 as a “sequel“ to Mockingbird, though it was later confirmed to be Mockingbird first draft. But from the moment Mockingbird was published to almost i
17、nstant success, the author consistently avoided public attention. Lee had lived foi several years in a nursinS; home near the house in which she had grown up in Monroeville, Alabama-the setting for Maycomb of her famous book. H neighbor for 40 years, Sue Sellers, said, “She was such a private person
18、. All she wanted was privacy, but she didnt get much. There was always somebady following her around.“ James Naughtie, BBC Books Editor, commented on the novels ofHarper Lee: “I th ink she stands, particularly among American readers, as someone who shone a light into a very dark place. She was writi
19、ng at a time when people were beginning to lift the lid on everything in the South which theyd chosen not to understand. That all changed in the 1960s. So I think her status for writing that book in its extraordinarily direct way will remain.“ 24. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 probabl
20、y mean? A. Lee became successful with stories on American south. B. People owe Lees success to luck to some degree. C. Mockingbird makes Lee a wonder in American literature. D.

C These days, young people in some English-speaking countries are speaking a strange language, especially when communicating on social media. L
23、ook at these words chosen by The Washington Post: “David Bowie dying is totes tradge : and “When Cookie hugged Jamal it made me totes emosh .“ Or this sentence: “BAE, let me know if you stay in tonight.“ What on earth do they mean? Well, “totes“ is a short form of “total if Similarly, “tradge“ means
24、 “tragic“ and “emosh“ means “emotional“. It seems that, far millennials ( ) , typing in this form is not only time-saving but fashionable. As you can see, many millennial slangs ( ) are formed by so-called “totesing“-the systematic abbreviation ( ) of words. The trend might have started with “totall
25、y“ becoming “totes“, but it now has spread to many other English words. The origins of other millennial slangs are more complex than “totesing“. “Bae“, for example, has been widely used by African-Americans for years. It can be an expression of closeness with ones romantic partner or, like “sweethea
26、rt“, for someone without romantic connection. After pop singer Pharrell used the word in his work, “bae“ became mainstream. Some people might think millennial slangs lower the value of the English language, but Melboume University linguist( )Rosey Billington doesnt agree. She says when people are ab
27、le to use a language in a creative way, they show that they know the language rules well enough to use words differently. Two other linguists, Lauren Spradlin and Taylor Jones. share the same view. The two analysed hundreds of examples of totes-speak and discovered totesing has complex roots It isnt
28、 simply an adult version of baby talk, nor a clever way to minimize your word count. Rather, it is a highly organized system that relies on a speakers mastery of English pronunciation. It is about sounds, follows sound system of English and has strict rules. 28. Why do young people like using e-slan
29、gs? A. They are time-consuming. B. They are in fashion. C. They are complex. D. They are in order. 29. Whats the authors purpose of mentioning “Bae“ in Paragraph 5? A. To suppon that totesing is no baby talk. B. To analyse the usage of millennial slangs. C. To inform people how it became mainstream.
30、 D. To explain the complex origins of milleruual slangs. 30. Which statement may Rosey Billington agree with? A. Totesing is a loosely organized system. B. Millennial slangs lower the value of English. C. Its simply a clever way to reduce the word count. D. Totes-speak requires a good command of Eng

English Has Greatly Changed D About l.3 billion years ago, two massive black holes hit each other and formed a new one. The energy set free by the
32、 collision created a ripple( ) in the space-time structure and spread outward in gravitational waves ( ) . Then, on September 14, 2015, a group of scientists discovered the waves. On February 11, an announcement came from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIOO) in the US that,
33、 for the very first time, a gravitational wave was directly observed and recorded. “We discovered gravitational waves. We did it,“ David Reitze, the director of LIGO, said in the press conference on February 11. “Its exactly what Einsteins theory of general relativity predicted: Einsteins 1915 theor

According to Einstein, the framework for the universe-or the space-time structure-is not fixed, but changed by matter and energy “in a way a heavy sleeper causes a mattress to sag ( ) , producing the effect we call gravity“, explains a New York Times art
35、icle. “A disturbance in the universe could cause space-time to become larger, break into pieces and even move up and down, like a mattress shaking when that sleeper rolls over, producing ripples of gravity: gravitational waves,“ explains the article. Compared with the other three forces in the unive
36、rse (electromagnetism, the weak nuclear force and the strong nuclear force), gravity is relatively weak, making gravitational waves hard to discover. The discovery by LIGO would open a new chapter in astronomy. “Everything else in astronomy is like the eye,“ Szabolcs Marka, a Columbia University pro
37、fessor, told The New York Times. “Finally, astronomy grew ears. We never had ears before.“ 32. What is a gravitational wave according to the text? A. Its a disturbance in the universe. B. Its the crash of the two black holes. C. Its a ripple in the space-time structure. D. Its an effect caused by en

Actually, these qualities are what bring out the shine in you._ 36 You love taking risks. You like adventures. And you wont just be settled in the safe z
