His parents and teachers worried about his mental ability. Beethovens music teacher said about him，“As a composer（作曲家）he is hopeless” What if this young boy believed it? When Thomas Edison was a young boy, his teachers said he was so stupid that he could never learn anything. He once said, I remember I used to never be able to get along at school. I was always at the foot of my classMy father thought I was stupid, and I almost decided that l was a stupid person.” What if young Thomas believed what may said about him? When the sculptor(雕刻家) Auguste Rodin was young; he had difficulty learning to read and write. Today, we may say he had a learning disability. His father said of him, “I have an idiot(白痴) for a son.” His uncle agreed. “Hes uneducable,” he said. What if Rodin had doubted his ability? Walt Disney was once fired by a newspaper editor because he was thought to have no “good ideas”. Enrico Caruso was told by one music teacher, “you cant sing. You have no voice at all.” And an editor told Louisa May Alcott that she was unable to write anything that would have popular appeal. What if these people had listened and become discouraged? Where would our world be without the music of Beethoven, the art of Rodin or the ideas of Albert Einstein and Walt Disney?

When asked whether she held back for the final, Fu replied, “No, I utilized my prehistorical power.”What she meant was that she had spared no efforts in the semi-final. Since then, the so-called “prehistorical power” has gone viral and become a new Internet meme.Britain wins first Olympic diving gold in mens synchronized 3m springboard（男子双人3米跳板） Britains Jack Laugher and Chris Mears ended Chinas gold medal monopoly（垄断）overdiving events at the Rio Olympics by winning the mens synchronized 3m springboard final On Wednesday, the countrys first-ever Olympic gold medal in diving.

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 “total if Similarly”, “tradge” means “tragic” and “emosh” means “emotional”. It seems that, far 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 ones 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 Melboume University linguist(语言学家 )Rosey Billington doesnt 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 isnt simply an adult version of baby talk, nor a clever way to minimize(降低) 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-slangs?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 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 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 English.31. Whats the best title of the passage?A. E-slangs Catch on Among Youth B. Linguists Disapprove of TotesingC. Millennial Slangs Take the Lead D. English Has Greatly ChangedDChinas admiration of outstanding scholars has turned the well-preserved childhood home of Tu Youyou, the Chinese pharmacologist(药理学家) who won this years Nobel Prize in physiology(生理学) or Medicine, into a popular tourist destination. Since it was announced on Monday that 84-year-old Tu had become the first Chinese citizen to win this international prize, her former home in the old town of Ningbo, Zhejiang province, has attracted visitors, especially parents and their children-even though it is not open to the public. The house, where Tu lived until she went to university in Beijing, covers an area of 2,200 square meters and is priced at 150 million yuan( $ 23. 6 million) . It is part of a complex of 37 traditional buildings, including several city-and-district-level cultural relic preservation sites, that have been trans -formed into a high-end art, and commercial zone. “There are continually parents taking their children, from infants in strollers to college students, to take photos in front of Tus former home. Security guards have been ordered to go on patrol around the clock,” said Mr. Zhao, a salesperson from Ningbo Real Estate Inc Co. Shanghai resident Xu Lingfei, who was on a trip to Ningbo, took her 9-year-old son to walk around the complex on Wednesday. “Chinese people believe in exams and awards and have a strong preference for high performers. Taking children to visit the former dwelling places of celebrities(名人) is a way to inspire them to study harder,” Xu said. Something similar happened after Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize for literature in 2012. Tourists started visiting Mos former home in rural Gaomi, Shandong Province, in an endless stream starting the day after he won the prize. Some even pulled the radishes planted in front of the house and carried away some bricks.32. Tu Youyous former house is now popular mainly because _. .A.

Children benefit from visiting Nobel winners home.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。选项中有两项多余选项。Do you have these so-called bad qualities? If yes, congratulations!
