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 Mockingbird sold more than 40 million copies around the world and earned her a Pulitzer prize, remaining a towering presence in American literature. Another novel, Go Set a Watchman, was controversially published in July 2015 as a “sequel” to Mockingbird, though it was later confirmed to be Mockingbird’s first draft.
But from the moment Mockingbird was published to almost instant success, the author consistently avoided public attention. Lee had lived for several years in a nursing home near the house in which she had grown up in Monroeville, Alabama—the setting for Maycomb of her famous book. Her neighbor for 40 years, Sue Sellers, said, “She was such a private person. All she wanted was privacy, but she didn’t get much. There was always somebody following her around.”
James Naughtie, BBC Books Editor, commented on the novels of Harper Lee: “I think she stands, particularly among American readers, as someone who shone a light into a very dark place. She was writing at a time when people were beginning to lift the lid on everything in the South which they’d 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 probably mean?
A. Lee became successful with stories on American south.
B. People owe Lee’s success to luck to some degree.
C. Mockingbird makes Lee a wonder in American literature.
D. Mockingbird was a bestseller by selling 40m copies.
25. What does “Maycomb” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?
A. A nursing home. B. Lee’s hometown.
C. A fictional place. D. A main character.
26. Which best describes Americans’ attitude towards racial troubles before the 1960s?
A. Tolerant. B. Unconcerned. C. Sympathetic. D. Dissatisfied.
27. What can we learn from the text?
A. Lee based all her stories on her life.
B. Lee had to avoid being followed by her fans.
C. Lee wrote Go Set A Watchman before Mockingbird.
D. Lee lived in the house where she grew up for the whole life.
C
These days, young people in some English-speaking countries are speaking a strange language, especially when communicating on social media.
Look 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 “totally”. Similarly, “tradge” means “tragic” and “emosh” means “emotional”. It seems that, for millennials(千禧一代), typing in this form is not only time-saving but fashionable.
As you can see, many millennial slangs(俚语)are formed by so-called “totesing”—the systematic abbreviation(缩写)of words. The trend might have started with “totally” 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 one’s romantic partner or, like “sweetheart”, 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 Melbourne University linguist(语言学家)Rosey Billington doesn’t agree. She says when people are able 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 isn’t 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 speaker’s 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-slangs?
A. They are time-consuming. B. They are in fashion.
C. They are complex. D. They are in order.
29. What’s the author’s purpose of mentioning “Bae” in Paragraph 5?
A. To support that totesing is no baby talk.
B. To analyse the usage of millennial slangs.
C. To inform people how it became mainstream.
D. To explain the complex origins of millennial 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. It’s simply a clever way to reduce the word count.
D. Totes-speak requires a good command of English.
31. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. E-slangs Catch on Among Youth B. Linguists Disapprove of Totesing
C. Millennial Slangs Take the Lead D. English Has Greatly Changed
D
There’s a “culture of walking and texting” on the Utah Valley University campus, according to conversations with students, but that’s not the main reason Matt Bambrough, the creative director at UVU, came up with an idea to paint a “texting lane” on a staircase leading up to the Wellness Center.
According to Bambrough, it’s first and foremost a design project—the texting lane was a tongue-in-cheek(戏谑)reference to the college-wide epidemic(流行)of kids walking around with their faces buried in their iPhones.
“You have 18–24-year-olds walking down the hall with smart phones. You’re almost bound to run into someone somewhere; it’s something we’re dealing with in this day and age,” Bambrough said. “But preventing collisions isn’t the reason we did it—we did it to arouse the students’ attention. It’s meant to be there for people to look at and enjoy.”
Still, when talking to Utah Valley students, it sounds like texting and walking can be quite the annoyance.
Robbie Poffenberger, an assistant news editor at the UVU Review, said that most collisions he witnesses aren’t human-on-human; rather, it’s generally human-on-inanimate-object. “They walk into barriers—chairs on the side of the hallway, or railings,” Poffenberger said, “I’m sure they’re fairly embarrassed.”
32. What do we learn about the “texting lane” from the text?
A. It is a special campus culture in Utah Valley University.
B. It is used to encourage the campus culture.
C. It is painted on a staircase leading to everywhere.
D. It is popular with students in universities.
33. According to Bambrough, ______.
A. the “texting lane” is to attract students’ attention
B. we don’t have to face the problem in this age
C. what they did is to prevent the collisions
D. students enjoy looking at each other
34. How do students feel about texting and walking?
A. They are worried. B. They are annoyed.
C. They are puzzled. D. They are surprised.
35. What would most students run into from what Robbie said?
A. Students in the same direction. B. Teachers opposite to them.
C. Barriers on campus. D. Grass on campus.

The Lost Rules of Etiquette
Etiquette, or good manners, used to be the glue that held society together. 36 Sadly, these days it has mostly gone by the wayside. This list is several best rules of etiquette that have now disappeared.
Opening the Door
In days gone by, a gentleman would always open doors for ladies. 37 This has now almost entirely disappeared-and it is not entirely the fault of the men. I have seen women laugh at men for opening a door for them. They seem to be confusing manners with chauvinism(大男子主义).
Writing Thank-You Notes
In days gone by, whenever a person received a gift, they would write a thank-you note as soon as possible. 38 Parents would sit children down after a birthday or Christmas and coach them in their first thank-you note. It is a shame that gift giving has now become a virtual obligation and the idea of a thank-you note would be laughed at.

We seem to have completely lost the concept of correct timing when it comes to parties these days. 40 After all, a party normally has a guest of honor-this is usually the oldest woman present. It was considered extremely rude in the past to leave a party before the guest of honor-and once the guest of honor left, it was a signal to all that they should begin their own preparations to leave.
A. Arriving on Time.
B. Leaving at the Right Time.
C. People leave with various excuses.
D. It enabled people to get on well with each other.
E. This rule was true even if the giver was a relative.
F. It could be the lady they were driving, or a stranger.
G. We've thrown away the concept of a guest of honor at will.

All you will leave behind for the world to remember is your legacy(遗产), but what legacy will you leave?
I had a philosophy(哲学)professor, whose untidy appearance was highlighted(突出by a 41 sport coat and poor-fitting thick glasses, which often 42 on the tip of his nose. Every now and then, as most philosophy professors do, he would go off on one of those hard-to-understand “what’s the meaning of 43 ” discussions. Many of those discussions went 44 , but there were a few that really hit home(切中要害). This was one of them.
“ 45 to the following questions by a 46 of hands,” my professor instructed.
“How many of you can tell me something about your parents?” Everyone’s hand 47 .
“How many of you can tell me something about your grandparents?” About three-fourths put up their hands.
“How many of you can tell me something about your 48 ?” Two out of sixty students raised their hands.
“Look around the room,” he said, “In just two short generations 49 any of us even know 50 our own great-grandparents were. Oh sure, maybe we have an old photograph in a musty(发霉的)cigar box. 51 maybe we know the classic family 52 about how one of them walked five miles to school barefoot. But how many of us 53 know who they were, what they thought, what they took pride in, what they were afraid of, or what they dreamed about? Think about that. Within three generations our ancestors are all but forgotten. Will this 54 to you?”
“Here’s a better question. Look 55 three generations. You are long 56 . Instead of you sitting in this room, now it’s your great-grandchildren. What will they have to say 57 you? Will they know about you? Or will you be 58 , too?”
“Is your life going to be a 59 or an example? What legacy will you leave? The 60 is yours. Class dismissed.”
Nobody rose from their seats for five minutes.
