21、   There are many online and in-person courses that promise to teach a “native accent”. But is it really necessary to sound exactly like a native speaker? Some experts say it is not. Eusebia V. Mont leads the Accent Modification (修正) Program at the University of Maryland’s Department of Hearing & Speech Sciences. Mont talked about it to reporters.

Students come to the program for one or two school terms. They meet in a group for 90 minutes a week. Each student meets with one other student and a “doctor” for more individual work. Altogether the program amounts to about 60 hours of learning in class. Mont says the rate of progress absolutely depends on the type of accent it is, how long they’ve been speaking English and how often they speak English.

Mont says, “I view accent as the spread of culture; the spread of a person’s individual identity-and I don’t work to remove any part of culture from an individual.”

Students will most probably work in English-speaking environments when they leave school. The program teaches them tools for this. For example, they learn how to give an “elevator pitch”—a short description of an idea-and how to discuss their research. They also practice interviewing and giving presentations at work.

Mont says that there are a few methods for modifying accent, but most have the same basis. One method is called the Compton Method. Arthur J. Compton developed the method for English learners who know English vocabulary and grammar fairly well. It begins with a test to find out how the student’s native language affects different areas of pronunciation. Then learners use practice materials to record their own voice and compare their pronunciation attempts to recordings of a native speaker.

Another method is the Tomatis Method, which uses special headphones and includes listening to electronically modified voices and asks students to find the difference between their pronunciation and the voices they hear. This method is also used to cure children who have mental conditions that can cause difficulty in language learning.

Mont’s final advice to English learners is not to expect to sound exactly like a native speaker. And remember: even native English speakers do not all speak alike!

【1】According to the passage, the Accent Modification Program

A．is aimed at helping students get rid of their accent

B．divides students into different classes according to their abilities

C．teaches students how to communicate in English-speaking environments

D．offers students a total of 90 minutes’ study over one or two school terms

【2】What does the underlined part “elevator pitch” mean in Paragraph 4?

A．Discussing one’s research in brief.

B．Giving presentations in an effective way.

C．Practicing interviewing skills in an elevator.

D．Making others understand an idea in a short time.

【3】Both of the Compton Method and the Tomatis Method

A．use the method of comparison

B．require students to take a test first

C．serve students who have mastered English well

D．require students to record their voices with equipment

【4】What would be the best title for the passage?

A．The Development of the Accent Modification Industry

B．Keep Your Identity While Changing Your Accent

C．The Situation of the Accent Modification Program

D．Ways to Sound like a Native Speaker

22、Some people take their holiday decoration very seriously. And some take it to the next level. The Griffith family in Kenova, West Virginia, is in this camp. They put on a display that shows they’re just filled with Halloween spirit.

Each year, this family displays 3,000 pumpkins (南瓜) in front of their home for the Halloween season. Yes, you read that right. Ric Griffith puts out one jack-o’ -lantern (南瓜灯) for every person who lives in Kenova.

Of course, he doesn’t do it all on his own. He has a lot of help from his family, and also from members of the community who are super-proud of what has become quite the tourist attraction over the years. More than 30,000 people stop by to see the amazing display, which includes jack‑o’ ‑lanterns cut to look like the faces of famous people, animals, cartoon characters, and other creative designs. It’s certainly a must-see as part of the area’s Ceredo-Kenova Autumnfest.

To fit in all 3,000 pumpkins, Griffith and his helpers spread them across the home’s garden and front porch (门廊), as well as on the roof!

Griffith began the tradition back in 1978 with just five pumpkins and, many years later, it’s much bigger and better. People can’t help but come to the area, walking along the sidewalk outside the house to get that perfect Halloween experience.

“Locals take great pride in it, and then there are people from around the country who plan fall trips and include it in their trips so they can see it,” said Tyson Compton, president of the Cabell‑Huntington Convention and Visitors Bureau. “It’s really something.”

“It’s become a tradition for many people in our area, and it feels good to keep that going,” Griffith said.

【1】What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．The Griffiths selling 3,000 pumpkins a day.

B．Ric Griffith giving 3,000 jack-o’ ‑lanterns to tourists.

C．Ric Griffith teaching 3,000 people how to display jack-o’ ‑lanterns.

D．The Griffiths decorating their house with 3,000 pumpkins.

【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

A．Ric Griffith’s idea has received support from his community.

B．There are only two kinds of jack-o’ ‑lanterns.

C．Ric Griffith dislikes asking for help from others.

D．There are 30,000 people in Kenova.

【3】What do we know about the tradition?

A．It began with 1,978 pumpkins.

B．It has lasted more than 40 years.

C．It includes five pumpkin competitions.

D．It encourages people to do more exercise.

【4】What’s Tyson Compton’s attitude towards the tradition?

C．Favorable.

D．Uncertain.

26、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。

Two little birds were happily sitting on the rock, just having finished their lunch. Their parents had allowed them, for the first time, to go and hunt for their lunch by themselves. And they had enjoyed every bit of the freedom.

Suddenly, a net came and fell on both. They struggled to pass through it but in vain. Two boys jumped down from the branch above them. They quickly gathered the net. One of the boys, Eric, shouted to his little brother Max. “We have finally succeeded after ten days of waiting.”

“Yes, what luck! They look much more beautiful than ordinary birds. Let’s go home and put them in our cage,” Eric said joyfully. They ran home with the birds.

The two little birds were terribly frightened. They thought of their mother who must be anxiously waiting for them.

When the two boys got to the house gate, the sweet smell came out of the kitchen. Their mother Amla was baking cakes, which were what the boys couldn’t live without.

Hearing the boys’ footsteps, Amla anxiously asked, “Where have you been? I was getting worried. I’m cooking your favorite cakes.”

“Look, Mom, we have caught two beautiful birds! We are going to cage them. They will play with us.” Max proudly showed them to Amla.

Seeing the young birds shivering (发抖) in the boys’ hands, Amla said, “They are indeed beautiful. But they are so young and look so scared! They need their mother. Set them free.”

The boys said, “We will look after them.” Amla insisted that they shouldn’t keep them. They turned to their father John for help. Similarly,” John said, “It is not good to cage these birds. We should not take away their freedom.”

The boys were in tears and begged, “We love them so much. Please let us keep then.” “Well, just put them in the cage for the time being. Let’s enjoy your favorite cakes.” The boys jumped with joy. In the evening, John said to Amla, “The birds look very rare. We’d better do some research. Maybe we should call the police first.”

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。

The boys woke up only to find a note, “Mom and Dad go to the police station.”
