42、ry Potter.B词义猜测题。根据第四段“However，there is no need to be disappointed though you are not speaking in an RP accent.”可知，尽管你说话的口音不是标准口音，也没有必要感到失望，事实上，做相反的事可以给你力量。doing the opposite指的是不说标准音而说地方口音。15What is the passage mainly about?AA study about the most intelligent accent in Britain.BA comparison between

43、different British accents.CHow much British people value the RP accent.DThe impact of regional accents on peoples lives.D主旨大意题。第一段通过人们的感受引出英国除了有标准口音外还有地方口音，第二段介绍了众多的地方口音，第三段介绍了对地方口音的调查，最后三段介绍了地方口音对我们的影响，能让我们交到好朋友。因此D项最佳。.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)What can you do to say thank you in a meaningful way
