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.

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.
