Foreign visitors to the UK might be disappointed when they learn that not everyone there speaks like Harry

Potter and his friends. Usually, there’s an assumption by many non-Brits that everyone in Britain speaks with

what’s known as a Received Pronunciation (RP，标准发音) accent, also called “the Queen’s English”. However,

while many people do talk this way, most Britons speak in their own regional accents (口音).

Scouse, Glaswegian and Black Country — from Liverpool, Glasgow and the West Midlands — are just three

of the countless non-RP accents that British people speak with. There are even differences in accents between

towns or cities just 30 kilometers apart. What is even more disappointing is that not speaking in a RP accent may

mean a British person is judged and even treated differently in their everyday life.

In a 2015 study by The University of South Wales, videos of people reading a passage in three different UK

accents were shown to a second group of people. The group then rated how intelligent they thought the readers

sounded. The lowestrated accent was Brummie, native to people from Birmingham, a city whose accent is

considered working class.

However, there is no need to be disappointed though you are not speaking in a RP accent. In fact, doing the

opposite may even give you strength.

Kong Seongjae, 25, is an Internet celebrity from Seoul. After studying in the UK, he picked up several

regional accents. He’s now famous for his online videos, where he shows off the various accents he’s learned.

“British people usually get really excited when I use some of their local dialect words, and they become much

friendlier. I think it makes a bit of bond between local people and foreigners to speak in their local accent,” he said.

So if you’re working on perfecting your British accent, try to speak like someone from Liverpool, Glasgow or

Birmingham. You may not sound like Harry Potter, but you are likely to make more friends.

4．What can we infer from Paragraph 1?

A．Non-Brits usually hold that all Britons speak in a RP accent.

B．Only “the Queen’s English” is accepted in the UK.

C．Foreign visitors are disappointed at their on spoken English.

D．Any Received Pronunciation around the world is also called “the Queen’s English”.

5．What do people think of the Brummie accent?

A．Favored by foreign visitors to the UK. B．Closest to the RP accent.

C．Smart and easy to understand. D．Spoken by people of lower class.

6．What does the underlined phrase “doing the opposite” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A．Speaking in a RP accent. B．Speaking in regional accents.

C．Speaking the Brummie accent. D．Speaking like Harry Potter.

7．What is the passage mainly about?

A．A study about the most intelligent accent in Britain.

B．A comparison between different British accents.

C．How much British people value the RP accent.

D．The influence of regional accents on people’s lives.

In 1945, two sculptures meant to represent the average man called Norman and woman called Norma in the

United States went on exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History.

That same year, a contest was launched to find a living representation of Norma. Normal is often used to

mean “typical”, “expected”, or even “correct”. By that logic, most people should fit the description of normal. And

yet, not one of almost 4,000 women who participated in the contest matched Norma, the supposedly “normal”

woman.

This puzzle isn’t unique to Norma and Norman, either — time and time again, so-called normal descriptions

of our bodies, minds, and perceptions have turned out to match almost no one. So what does normal actually mean

— and should we be relying on it so much?

In statistics, a normal distribution describes a set of values that fall along a bell curve (曲线). The average, or

mean, of all the values is at the very center, and most other values fall within the hump (驼峰) of the bell. Normal

doesn’t describe a single data point, but a pattern of diversity. Many human traits, like height, follow a normal

distribution. Some people are very tall or very short, but most people fall close to the overall average. Outside of

statistics, normal often refers to an average like the single number pulled from the fattest part of the bell curve that

excludes all the nuances of the normal distribution. Norma and Norman’s proportions (比例) came from such

averages.

Applied to individuals, whether someone is considered normal usually depends on how closely they get to

this average. At best, such definitions of normal fail to capture variation. When limited or inaccurate definitions of

normal are used to make decisions that impact people’s lives, they can do real harm. There were examples in

history.

To this day, people are often targeted and discriminated against on the basis of disabilities, mental health

issues, and other features considered “not normal”. But the reality is that the differences in our bodies, minds,

perceptions, and ideas about the world around us — in short, diversity — is the true normal.

8．What can we learn about Norman and Norma?

A．No participant fitted the description of them in the contest.

B．They were on display as soon as they were completed in 1945.

C．They were both named by the American Museum of Natural History.

D．People viewed them as typical and correct representations of humans.

9．How does normal in statistics differ from normal outside of statistics?

A．The former and the latter fall at totally different points of the bell curve.

B．The former and the latter account for different puzzles in our daily life.

C．The latter is a single number whereas the former shows a pattern of diversity.

D．The latter often indicates the distribution of a set of values but the former doesn’t.

10．What does the underlined word “nuances” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?

A．Possibilities. B．Examples. C．Meanings. D．Differences.

11．What is the best title of the passage?

A．What Is Real Normal?

B．When Are Humans Normal?

C．How Does Normal Cause Harm?

D．Why Shouldn’t We Rely on Normal?

The Mona Lisa is the famous Leonardo da Vinci painting of a woman with a mysterious smile. This week, the

painting gave up a secret.

Scientists using X-rays to examine the chemical structure of a small part of the painting discovered a

technique Leonardo used in the work. An oil paint used for it was a special, new chemical mixture, which suggests

that the Italian artist was in an experimental mood when he worked on the painting in the 16th century.

“He loved to experiment, and each of his paintings is completely different technically,”said Victor Gonzalez,
