ChallengeYou BWhen Carly Williams was reporting on a farm in North Carolina, US, she laughed when a zebra (斑马) pushed its nose into her car. Carly, 15, is a student at Nation Ford High, South Carolina and hopes to bee a television anchor (主播). She is quickly making herself noticed. Not long ago, she got a call from Teen Kids News, which is a weekly show that airs across the US. Carly had sent a few broadcasts she had done for her school news program to the shows makers in New York. A producer contacted Carly and asked if she would like to work for the pany. “All I could say was, yes, yes, yes,” Carly said. “I didnt even hesitate (犹豫).”Carly said she became interested in broadcast journalism when she was in the sixth grade.

She fell in love with broadcasting, and from then on, she tried to do it as much as she could. But despite doing what she loves, Carly has to face both good and bad ments from audience (听众) members. “Everyone has a different opinion and Ive always tried to tell Carly that you cant listen to it,” said Lori Williams, a former CNN producer. “If its what you love to do, it will outshine everything else.” Carlys advice to other young broadcasters is to look for support from friends and family. “With every negative ment, there are five positive ments, and thats how I think about it,” she said. The first program Carly anchored was about an artists pumpkin patch. In the program, she asked teenagers what they thought of the artists work. “I was a little nervous.

CIts OK to say youve never heard of grime (伦敦地下音乐) unless youre from the UK. Thats because this music genre (流派) was invented in the UK in the early xxs. To someone whos not familiar with underground music culture, its easy to get confused (迷惑的) between hip-hop and grime since they are both noisy. And many people didnt bother (费心) to tell them apart, until earlier this month when grime stars like Stormzy and J Hus led this years Mobo “music of black origin” award nominations (提名) in the UK. Just like UK electronic music (电子音乐) and hip-hop, from which grime drew influence, it mostly reflects (反映) the thoughts of young people. But different from hip-hop, grime singers sing in dialects (方言) with strong accents, giving a special flavor to their songs. Lady Leshurr, known as the “Grime Queen”, said that she once tried to hide her accent, as she didnt want people to judge her, according to The Independent. But one day, she realized that she didnt need to change herself just to please others. And theres no doubt that this is the essence (精髓) of grime music: be yourself. “Grime has challenged contemporary music in its production aesthetic (美感) and in its lyrical approach,” Mykaell Riley, director of the black music research unit at the University of Westminster, London, told the BBC. Also different from the hip-hop culture, which usually focuses on being rich, grime singers pay more attention to social phenomena (现象) like the European refugee (难民) problem and the gap between the rich and poor. Although still quite a young music genre, grime seems to be getting favored by more and more people. In xx, the English grime artist Skepta won the Mercury Prize with his album Konnichiwa, beating big names like David Bowie and Radiohead. However, no matter whether grime is one day accepted by the mainstream (主流的) music world or not, one thing is for sure: in grime, singers always stay true to themselves.28. People are most likely to confuse grime music with _ music. A. jazz B. blues C. country D. hip-hop29. Which of the following is a big name in grime music? A. David Bowie. B. Radiohead. B. Lady Leshurr. D. Mykaell Riley.30. What makes grime music different from other music genres? A. It is known for being very noisy. B. It reflects the thoughts of young people. C. It is sung in dialects with strong accents. D. It is mainly popular with the rich.31. What is the essence of grime music? A. The search for a peaceful life. B. Staying true to oneself. C. Challenging traditions. D. Caring for the munity. D Think of the empty cities in zombie (僵尸) movies. The streets, the shops and the schools are still there just like they would be on a normal day, except there are no people to be seen. It is the emptiness that scares you. Now a real-life “ghost city” is being built in the US. But fortunately, it has nothing to do with zombies it is going to be a place to test the technology of the future. Called CITE the Center for Innovation (创新), Testing and Evaluation (测评) the city is the idea of technology pany Pegasus Global Holdings. Covering an area of 15 square miles (39 square kilometers), it is the size of a small US city and sits in the middle of the New Mexico desert. But why do we need an empty city that nobody will call home? The reason is that we cant afford to test the latest technologies in the cities that we live in they might not be ready and could cause problems and danger in our everyday lives. “It will be a true laboratory without the problems and safety issues (问题) that e with people living there. Here you can break things and run into things, and get used to how they work, before taking them out into the market,” Pegasus managing director Robert Brumley told technology magazine Wired. In fact, without worrying about hurting people, anybody with a new idea can ask to test it in this city. Just think about the possibilities driverless cars can move freely on the streets, homes with robots can be designed and energy sources like nuclear (核的) power can also be put to the test. As good as the idea may seem, however, there are still doubts about CITE. “One of the most difficult things to do when developing these new technologies is to have them safely move around people, who can suddenly jump out in front of something,” Reese Jones, a founder of Singularity University, US, told Fortune magazine. Jones is worried that, even if a technology works perfectly well in CITE, introducing it to a real city will still be a whole different story because there will be people living in the city. But no matter what, perhaps we should wait until CITE is finished in xx. Maybe it will turn out to work just fine.32. The empty city is being built _. A. so people can experience the technology of the future B. to try driverless cars and robots in C. to test new technology in D. as a place full of the latest technology33. Which of the following statements is TRUE about CITE? A. It is located beside the New Mexico desert. B. It was started by Singularity University. C. Things in the city can easily be broken down and built again. D. Anyone can ask to try out their new designs there.34. According to Jones, _. A. CITE offers great possibilities for future technology B. new technologies will work perfectly well with the help of CITE C. settings in CITE should be real in order to create the best results D. testing results in CITE may not prove to work in a real city35. What is the main purpose of this article? A. To explain why CITE could be very helpful. B. To show that CITE has a bright future. C. To explain CITE and problems it may have. D. To offer a good solution that will help to develop future technologies.第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tips for Dealing Holiday Parties When You Have Social AnxietySocial anxiety is more than just being shy.
