As a child，I was proud of my southern origin.My own voice reflected my family’s past and present—part northern Mississippi，part Tennessee，all southern.There was no sound I loved more than my grandmother’s accent：thick，sweet，warm.
While growing up，I began to realize outside of our region，southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant.I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee，starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far－off cities.In that embarrassing space between “teen” and “adult”，my accent was a symbol of everything I thought I hated about my life in the rural South.I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer.I would have to talk less “country”.So I killed a piece of myself.I’m ashamed of it，but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else—change Emily’s accent.
I met Emily in college.She was determined to work for the student newspaper，which was where I spent most of my waking hours，and we became friends.She，unlike me，accepted her roots.Early in our friendship，her mother asked where I was from，assuming it was somewhere up north.Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.
Emily is two years younger and she cared about my opinion.I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature—Manchester accent.I stressed that throughout our college years，often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds.I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter.Now，I see that it was actually about justifying my hiding part of myself.
Grandma Carolyn used to tell me，“Girl，don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that.Many things have faded from memory，but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity.Now that I am grown and have left the South，it’s important to me.
【语篇解读】　本文是记叙文。文章讲述作者因为别人的偏见以及为了追求更好的工作改变自己的口音，但后来才意识到这样做抹杀了自己身份的一部分，也明白了要坚守本根。
4.What made the author want to leave her hometown
A.Appeal of convenience in cities.
B.Her dream of becoming a writer.
C.Outside prejudice against southerners.
D.Her desire for the northern accent.
答案　C　[细节理解题。根据第二段的“While growing up...leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee”可知，作者决定离开南部的家乡是因为其他人认为南方人没文化、无知，即外部对南方人的偏见。]
5.How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily’s mother
A.Upset. B.Pleased.
C.Ashamed. D.Surprised.
答案　B　[推理判断题。根据第三段的“Early in our friendship...even wanted to ignore the mistake.”可知，当被Emily的妈妈误会来自北方时，作者觉得自己的努力得到了回报，甚至想忽略这个错误，故可推断作者是开心的。]
6.Why on earth did the author try to change Emily’s accent
A.To prove herself right.
B.To help Emily be a reporter.
C.To make herself influential.
D.To protect Emily’s self－dignity.
答案　A　[推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“I advised her to be more...I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter...justifying my hiding part of myself.”可知，作者之前说努力改变Emily的口音是为了帮她实现当记者的梦想，但实际上是为了证明自己是对的。]
7.What message does the text want to convey
A.Stay true to your roots.
B.Never do things by halves.
C.Hold on to your dreams.
D.Never judge a person by his accent.
答案　A　[写作意图题。通读全文，并结合第二段的“I’m more ashamed...change Emily’s accent.”和最后一段“Grandma Carolyn used to tell me，‘Girl，don’t forget where you come from.’”可知，作者为自己努力改掉南方口音而感到惭愧；祖母告诉作者不要忘记自己来自哪里，现在作者真正理解了这一点，并牢记于心。文章想要传达的信息是：坚守本根。]

Teens interested in losing weight，for instance，got advertisements for unhealthy tips on how to become anorexic (患厌食症的).Such advertisements targeted these kids in hopes of persuading them to try things that were either dangerous or illegal at their age.
Advertisements are just one example of persuasion—trying to change another’s mind.Advertisements may try to convince us to buy something or do something new and different.Marketing is a field of persuasion designed to sell things，notes Jacob Teeny.Persuasion can be used to sell things.At its worst，it can be used to control people.Clearly，persuasion can be used for good and bad.
People open to new experiences tend to be more easily persuaded，Teeny says.But open－minded people can resist some persuasive arguments—such as the idea that eating junk food is cool.And closed－minded people can sometimes be persuaded.“If you haven’t really thought about the arguments” ahead of time，Teeny says，you’re going to be “much more persuadable”.
You might resist the message if you think about it as you listen to it for the first time.You might find reasons why their line of reasoning does not make sense by spotting holes in someone’s argument.But when you’re busy or distracted，you are easier to be persuaded，Teeny says.
“Persuasion is a science，” Teeny says.In fact，he notes，“It’s studied as one.” So educate yourself about the factors that go into persuasion.You will become more persuasive about the social appeals that matter to you，he says.At the same time，you will become more resistant to undue (不适当的) persuasion by others.

8.Why are advertisements mentioned in Paragraph 1
A.To introduce the topic.
B.To explain its function.
C.To ask children to lose weight.
D.To tell teens to avoid dangerous things.
答案　A　[写作意图题。根据第一段的“Teens interested in losing weight，for instance，got advertisements for unhealthy tips...were either dangerous or illegal at their age.”可知，第一段提到的广告是说服的一个例子，因此提到广告是为了引出说服这个话题。]
9.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2
A.Marketing is designed to sell things.
B.Persuasion is used to control people.
C.Persuasion has advantages and disadvantages.
D.We should follow advertisements to buy things.
答案　C　[段落大意题。根据第二段内容可知，本段的主旨是解释说服有优点也有缺点。]
10.How can you find an argument unreasonable
A.By working busily.
B.By being distracted.
C.By being closed－minded.
D.By finding its weak points.
答案　D　[细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“You might find reasons why their line of reasoning does not make sense by spotting holes in someone’s argument.”可知，你可以通过找出别人论点中的漏洞来发现一个论点不合理。]
11.What does the writer think of “knowing about persuasion”？
A.Useful. B.Interesting.
C.Difficult. D.Wasteful.
答案　A　[观点态度题。根据最后一段的“So educate yourself about the factors that go into persuasion...you will become more resistant to undue persuasion by others.”可知，作者觉得“了解说服”是有用的。]

(2024·长沙雅礼中学高三下学期月考八)
Are you the kind of person who hated school Or are you more like Michael Nicholson, who can’t stop learning He currently has 30 degrees including 22 master’s and a doctorate! __1__ The word comes from Greek with “phil” meaning “a lover of” and “math” meaning “learning”.
Humans are all philomaths to an extent—our brain is born to be curious.We want to learn and understand, partly to make sense of the world but also because of something called neoteny.This is a term that refers to the teenage characteristics of some animals, including humans, being preserved into adulthood.One of these traits is neuroplasticity, which helps our brains stay flexible.__2__ While creatures like monkeys can’t do this and only learn during their adolescence.
But for every person who loves learning, there are plenty who can’t stand it.__3__ Why is this Educational anthropologists have suggested that if a concept or idea is too complex or dull, it becomes harder to link old and new ideas together.__4__ This negative experience of education at school may lead to people avoiding learning opportunities in later life.
__5__ Evolution has made us lifelong learners, so take advantage of your biology and discover your inner philomath.Who knows what you could achieve
A.Lots of people remember their school days as being boring or even pointless.
B.Because of this trait, our brains are able to recognize different shapes.
C.If that’s the case, we lose motivation and absorb less information.
D.If you’re also passionate about studying, you might be a philomath.
E.Many students think it is inspiring to learn something about “philomath”.
F.So, don’t let a bad educational experience prevent you learning something new as an adult.
G.This gives us the ability to learn throughout our lives.
【语篇解读】　本文是说明文。人类的“神经可塑性”帮助我们大脑保持灵活，进行终身学习，但由于学校学习内容概念的复杂或沉闷，导致很多人经历了消极的学习体验。然而，我们应该利用自身的生理优势，成为学习爱好者。
1.D　[根据空后“这个词来自希腊语，‘phil’意为‘热爱……的人’，‘math’意为‘学习’。”可知，空后一句是空处对应单词的解释，该单词为“philomath”，前文“还是你更像迈克尔·尼科尔森，学个不停？他目前拥有30个学位，包括22个硕士学位和一个博士学位。”表明Michael Nicholson是十分热爱学习的人；D选项“如果你对学习也充满热情，你可能会成为一个学习爱好者。”符合语境。]
2.G　[由空前“这是一个术语，指的是一些动物，包括人类的青少年特征，被保存到成年。其中一个特征是神经可塑性，它帮助我们的大脑保持灵活。”说明动物中的神经可塑性能帮助大脑一直处于灵活状态，后文“而像猴子这样的动物不能做到这一点，只能在青春期学习。”表示猴子做不到，前后进行对比；G选项“这给了我们一生学习的能力。”中This表示前文的特征，能够帮助我们终身学习。]
3.A　[空前“但是对于每一个热爱学习的人来说，也有很多人无法忍受学习。”表示热爱学习的人也有无法忍受的时候，空后“为什么会这样？教育人类学家认为，如果一个概念或想法过于复杂或沉闷，就很难将新旧思想联系起来。”对空处的一种现象解释原因；A选项“许多人记得他们的学生时代是无聊的，甚至是毫无意义的。”表明学生时代的学习有时候是无聊，甚至是无意义的、无法忍受的，符合语境。]
4.C　[空前“教育人类学家认为，如果一个概念或想法过于复杂或沉闷，就很难将新旧思想联系起来。”表明概念或者想法过于复杂或沉闷，会带来学习上的困难，空后“这种消极的学校教育经历可能会导致人们在以后的生活中避免学习机会。”描述消极的学习经历会导致人们更不喜欢学习；C选项“如果是这样的话，我们就会失去动力，吸收的信息也会减少。”为消极学习经历产生的结果，符合语境。]
5.F　[此空需承上启下，总结前文。上一段在讲消极的学习经历，空后“进化使我们成为终身学习者，所以利用你的生理特征，发现你内心的学习爱好者。”表示我们应利用与生俱来的生理特点帮助学习；F选项“所以，不要让糟糕的教育经历阻碍你成年后学到新的东西。”为对于上文出现的改善消极学习经历的建议，符合此处语境。]选择性必修第三册　Unit 1　Face values

Ⅱ.七选五
(2024·长沙雅礼中学高三下学期月考八)
Are you the kind of person who hated school Or are you more like Michael Nicholson, who can’t stop learning He currently has 30 degrees including 22 master’s and a doctorate! __1__ The word comes from Greek with “phil” meaning “a lover of” and “math” meaning “learning”.
Humans are all philomaths to an extent—our brain is born to be curious.We want to learn and understand, partly to make sense of the world but also because of something called neoteny.This is a term that refers to the teenage characteristics of some animals, including humans, being preserved into adulthood.One of these traits is neuroplasticity, which helps our brains stay flexible.__2__ While creatures like monkeys can’t do this and only learn during their adolescence.
But for every person who loves learning, there are plenty who can’t stand it.__3__ Why is this Educational anthropologists have suggested that if a concept or idea is too complex or dull, it becomes harder to link old and new ideas together.__4__ This negative experience of education at school may lead to people avoiding learning opportunities in later life.
__5__ Evolution has made us lifelong learners, so take advantage of your biology and discover your inner philomath.Who knows what you could achieve
A.Lots of people remember their school days as being boring or even pointless.
B.Because of this trait, our brains are able to recognize different shapes.
C.If that’s the case, we lose motivation and absorb less information.
D.If you’re also passionate about studying, you might be a philomath.
E.Many students think it is inspiring to learn something about “philomath”.
F.So, don’t let a bad educational experience prevent you learning something new as an adult.
G.This gives us the ability to learn throughout our lives.
【语篇解读】　本文是说明文。人类的“神经可塑性”帮助我们大脑保持灵活，进行终身学习，但由于学校学习内容概念的复杂或沉闷，导致很多人经历了消极的学习体验。然而，我们应该利用自身的生理优势，成为学习爱好者。
1.D　[根据空后“这个词来自希腊语，‘phil’意为‘热爱……的人’，‘math’意为‘学习’。”可知，空后一句是空处对应单词的解释，该单词为“philomath”，前文“还是你更像迈克尔·尼科尔森，学个不停？他目前拥有30个学位，包括22个硕士学位和一个博士学位。”表明Michael Nicholson是十分热爱学习的人；D选项“如果你对学习也充满热情，你可能会成为一个学习爱好者。”符合语境。]
2.G　[由空前“这是一个术语，指的是一些动物，包括人类的青少年特征，被保存到成年。其中一个特征是神经可塑性，它帮助我们的大脑保持灵活。”说明动物中的神经可塑性能帮助大脑一直处于灵活状态，后文“而像猴子这样的动物不能做到这一点，只能在青春期学习。”表示猴子做不到，前后进行对比；G选项“这给了我们一生学习的能力。”中This表示前文的特征，能够帮助我们终身学习。]
3.A　[空前“但是对于每一个热爱学习的人来说，也有很多人无法忍受学习。”表示热爱学习的人也有无法忍受的时候，空后“为什么会这样？教育人类学家认为，如果一个概念或想法过于复杂或沉闷，就很难将新旧思想联系起来。”对空处的一种现象解释原因；A选项“许多人记得他们的学生时代是无聊的，甚至是毫无意义的。”表明学生时代的学习有时候是无聊，甚至是无意义的、无法忍受的，符合语境。]
4.C　[空前“教育人类学家认为，如果一个概念或想法过于复杂或沉闷，就很难将新旧思想联系起来。”表明概念或者想法过于复杂或沉闷，会带来学习上的困难，空后“这种消极的学校教育经历可能会导致人们在以后的生活中避免学习机会。”描述消极的学习经历会导致人们更不喜欢学习；C选项“如果是这样的话，我们就会失去动力，吸收的信息也会减少。”为消极学习经历产生的结果，符合语境。]
5.F　[此空需承上启下，总结前文。上一段在讲消极的学习经历，空后“进化使我们成为终身学习者，所以利用你的生理特征，发现你内心的学习爱好者。”表示我们应利用与生俱来的生理特点帮助学习；F选项“所以，不要让糟糕的教育经历阻碍你成年后学到新的东西。”为对于上文出现的改善消极学习经历的建议，符合此处语境。]
