We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don‘t do a very good job. This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.
So, you have to give a speech - and you‘re terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, ―Thank goodness, it‘s over. I‘m just no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again. ‖
Cheer up! It doesn‘t have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they will help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Look at them directly into their eyes. Don’t talk over their heads (keep in mind that the concepts of relativism(相对论) are rarely understood), and don’t talk down to them (“who invented the telephone” is not a friendly question). Speak loud enough in order that everyone hears you clearly unless there is a microphone. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Just remember: be prepared. Know your subject, your audience and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to -person contact with your audience.
If you follow these simple steps, you‘ll see that you don‘t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You‘re not convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens. 56. The main idea of this article is _________.
A. you can improve your speaking ability B. a poor speaker can never change
C. always make a short speech D. it is hard to make a speech 57. Paragraph 2 implies that ________.
A. many people are afraid of giving a speech B. many people are happy to give a speech C. many people do not prepare for a speech D. many people talk too long 58. The phrase ―talk over their heads‖ means ________.
A. speak too loudly B. look at the ceiling
C. look down upon them D. use words and ideas that are too difficult 59. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT that ___________. A. few people know how to make good speeches B. a lecturer does not need to organize his speech C. research is important in preparing a speech
D. there are simple steps you can take to improve your speaking ability 60. The title for this passage may be _______.
A. Do Not Make a Long Speech B. Try to Enjoy a Speech
C. How to Prepare for a Speech D. How to Give a Good Speech (C)
Water is worth more than gold and is necessary for survival above anything else on the earth. Even so, over one billion people do not have safe water to drink and therefore cannot live healthy lives. They are the innocent (无辜的) children and hopeless families. These people do not have enough water to grow food. They don't even have enough water to keep themselves alive.
Worldwide hunger problems are really water problems. Without water, crops and other plants die and people go hungry and become weak. Weakness makes it easier for people to be the victims of the ―quiet killer‖, hunger.
Every day, almost 40,000 people die from diseases directly linked to drinking polluted water. Even if there is enough food to eat, family may still be slowly dying from another form of hunger called ―invisible hunger‖. It comes from drinking unsafe water. 80% of serious childhood diseases that kill children and destroy families worldwide are caused not by a shortage of food and medicine, but by drinking polluted water.
Water is the lifeblood of a community(社会). When water is unsafe to drink, the entire community suffers. Sick children lack (缺少) the energy to learn and weak young men lack the strength to work hard, so poverty continues. In many places, it is the women and children who are responsible for finding and carrying water. This work often leaves little or no time for women to do other things and for children to get education, so poverty continues. Nothing can change a community like providing a source of clean water. Water means a new life.
61. World hunger problem is caused mainly by lack of ___________. A. money B. farmland C. water D. farmers 62. Which of the following caused the ―invisible hunger‖?
A. The shortage of water B. The bad quality of food C. The polluted water D. The lack of food 63. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. Some children spend time in looking for safe water instead of attending school. B. The death rate is higher than the birth rate because of unsafe water. C. Women regard carrying water as their part-time job in poor countries. D. Young people lose the hope of life when poverty continues.
64. In which order is the passage developed paragraph by paragraph? a. Water problem causes poverty.
b. Water can solve the problem of hunger. c. Water is the source of life
d. Unsafe water leads to the breakout of diseases. A. a-b-d-c B. c-b-a-d C. d-c-b-a D. c-b-d-a
65. The passage mainly describes ________________. A. the serious pollution of worldwide water B. the worldwide poverty and hunger problems C. the great pressure under a shortage of water D. the importance of water to our life

Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.
One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn‘t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.
As he got closer he called out, ―Good morning! What are you doing?‖
The young man paused, looked up and replied, ―Throwing starfish in the ocean.‖ ―I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?‖ ―The sun is up and the tide is going out, and if I don‘t throw them in they‘ll die.‖
“But, young man, don‘t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can‘t possibly make a difference!‖
The young man listened politely, then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said, ―It made a difference for that one.‖
There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can know that gift, we will gain through the strength of our visions the power to shape the future.
We must each find our starfish. And if we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be better.
59. One day, the wise man saw the young man . A. dancing along the beach B. walking with a dancer
C. picking up starfish for sale D. trying to save as many starfish as possible 60. Near the end of the passage, ―something very special‖ refers to . A. the gifts from friends B. the strength of making decision
C. our own starfish D. the ability of shaping one‘s own future 61. From the last two paragraphs, we can learn that .
A. the wise man realized something new and important
B. the wise man thought it was foolish of the young man to throw starfish into the ocean C. the young man had the ability to make a difference D. it is necessary for us to save starfish on the beach
62. The writer told this story in order to show us . A. how and where we can write a good article B. everyone can do something for the future C. wise men are sometimes stupid
D. young people are actually wiser than old people C
Why should I teach my children history? That sounds like a stupid question to even ask. But, as I hear different home schooling teachers discuss history, I get the idea that there may be different reasons for teaching history. Let me briefly explain the three good reasons for studying history and two bad reasons for studying history.
The major reason I see for studying history is that we can learn from the past. I am convinced that the world would be a much better place if more people understood the successes and failures of the past and the things that made these successes and failures. However, as the unfortunately true statement goes \"the one thing we seem to learn from history is that we don't seem to learn from history.\" Perhaps at least in teaching history to my children I can do a small part in changing this.
A second major reason for studying history is that it is hard to understand the current political climate in the absence of an understanding of its historical context. We cannot even understand why we are and where we are without history, much less (更不必说) try to figure out where we are going or how we should get where we want to be.
I teach my children history, for one more reason. I purchased a set of historical audio (录音机) tapes for our children. My seven-year-old son listened to them over and over. It was my hope that he would become inspired by the accomplishments of people like the Wright brothers to accomplish things by himself. I think that it is good that we celebrate the accomplishments of people like Martin Luther King Jr. if, in doing so, young people are called on to stand for the principles that he stood for and accomplish what he accomplished. I also think that by studying people like Adolph Hitler, people can learn to stand against the things that he stood for. 63. What message can we get from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2? A. Many people aren't clever enough to learn well from the past.
B. Many people fail to make good use of history and make the same mistakes. C. Many people feel it hard to understand history. D. Many people have no interest in studying history.

During his life Dr James Naismith worked as a doctor, taught P.E and wrote several books. While he never thought it very important, Dr Naismith is today best known for one thing. He was the inventor of basketball.
Dr James Naismith was born in Canada in 1861 and his first job was at a special sports school in the USA. One day the school principal told James he was having a problem with the students. Because of heavy snow, the students could not go outside. He told James that they needed a sport the boys could play indoors and gave the teacher two weeks to think of something.
It was on the very last day that James came up with his idea. The ―birth of basketball‖ is said to be on December 21, 1891, when two teams from the school played the first game. It was quite different from the basketball games of today. It had 9 players on each team and footballs were used instead of basketballs. Soon after, the game changed to 5 players on each side, using special ―basketballs‖ through nets.
Although Dr Naismith did not live to see basketball become the worldwide game it is today, in 1936, just three years before his death, basketball became an Olympic sport at the Games in Berlin.
67. Which of the following things did Dr James Naismith NOT do? A. Teach P.E in school. B. Write some books.
C. Work at a hospital. D. Take part in the Olympic Games. 68. In which season did Dr Naismith invent basketball?
A. Summer. B. Winter. C. Spring. D. Autumn. 69. Why is December 21 thought to be the birthday of basketball?
A. It was on this day that Dr Naismith came up with his idea for basketball. B. It was the day on which Dr Naismith was born.
C. It was the day on which Dr Naismith was asked by his boss to invent a new game. D. It was on this day that the first game of basketball was played.
70. At the time of Dr Naismith‘s death, which of the following was true? A. Basketball was already a worldwide game.
B. Basketball was played with 9 players on each side. C. Basketball was an Olympic sport.
D. Basketball was still played using footballs.

书面表达：The first thing we can do is to behave ourselves well and be polite all the time. We should respect the teachers and help our classmates. Then we should try our best to make our campus clean and beautiful.

Back to the news. Last Friday a storm hit two villages destroying fourteen houses. Seven others were so badly damaged that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows. One person was killed, and nine were badly injured and taken to hospital. A number of other people received small injuries. Altogether over two hundred were left homeless as a result of the storm.
A farmer said the storm began early in the morning and lasted over an hour. He was in the kitchen with his wife and his children when they heard a loud noise. A few minutes later their house fell down on top of them. They managed to climb out, but then he saw that one of his children was missing. He went back inside and found him safe but very frightened.
A woman said that her husband had just left for work when she noticed that her house was shaking. She rushed outside immediately with her children. There was no time for her to take anything. A few minutes later, the roof came down.
Soldiers went to the area to help the people in trouble.

第二节: 在第46--50题中，Chuck， Karen， Kevin， Andrew 和Sophie 五人正打算度假避暑.请阅读下面六处避暑胜地的介绍(选项A.B.C.D.E和F) 选出符合各人需求的最佳选项，并填在答题卷上.选项中有一项是多余选项.
46.Chuck is concerned about the environment, and would like to do some research on ecosystem while he is on holiday.
47.Karen is one of the best surfers in her school, and she plans to get more practice during the holiday. She would like to take some thrilling ridings as well. 48.Kevin is eager to play with dolphins. He is very interested in ocean life. 49.Andrew loves facing challenges. He has taken almost all kinds of adventure tours except whitewater rafting, which he is determined to take this summer. 50.Sophie would like to get thrilled by experiencing the sudden change of the weather.
Summer is just around the corner, and here are a few America’s hottest places to cool off.
A. Glenwood Springs: Visitors to Glenwood Springs can cool down in an exciting
rush thanks to a lot of whitewater rapids in the area. Thrill- seekers can join rafting guides on wild rides. Either way, the chilly spray(水花) from the river is the answer to a hot and dry Colorado summer.
B. Santa Cruz: The surfing life made cool by the Beach Boys awaits travelers
in the laid- back(悠闲) college town of Santa Cruz, just 75 miles south of San Francisco. Year- round enthusiasts can be seen riding waves. Another Santa Cruz favorite is the beachfront boardwalk. For as little as $ 1.50, visitors can also ride the Giant Dipper, one of the last wooden roller coasters.
C. Bay of Dreams Water Park: rain, snow, sleet (雨夹雪) or hail (冰雹) could
befall the town of Wisconsin Dells and still fail to spoil the fun at the Bay of Dreams Water Park, the largest indoor water park in the world. During the summer, Bay of Dreams is the place to go for a wet and wild adventure. The jungle- themed amusement park includes rides to delight young and old. D. Key West: The grandest pearl on the necklace of islands known as the Florida
Keys is by far the tropical outpost (偏远居民区) of Key West. By day, residents and tourists alike enjoy Key West’s aquatic(水上的) activities, including fishing and boating. By night, Key West comes alive. Street performers pour onto Mallory Dock to entertain the dozens who gather to watch the sunset. Sidewalk cafes, outdoor bars and open-air night-clubs are also busy. E. Discovery Cove: discovery Cove, opened in July, 2000, welcomes anyone aged 6 to 96 to swim, feed, pet, cuddle (搂抱) and play with these Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, and all kinds of fish. Sharks and barracudas add to the mix, though they are safely kept behind a thick wall of glass.

The Changes in My Hometown
In the past, my hometown was very small. People lived a poor life. The houses were old and small. Pollution was very serious, and there was rubbish everywhere. The traffic was not convenient, so few visitors came here.
Now great changes have taken place in my hometown. The environment has become more beautiful. The mountains have turned greener, the rivers clearer and the sky bluer. There are trees, flowers and grass everywhere. People live a better life. Their houses are large and bright. Many people have their own cars. Every year, thousands of people from all over the world come to visit our city.
I‘m sure my hometown will become better and better in the future.
