This article giv
26、es some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.So, you have to give a speechand you are 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, its over. Im just not good at public s
27、peaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”Cheep up! It doesnt 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
28、plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your 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 help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Dont ta
29、lk over their heads, and dont talk down to them. 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 thr
30、ough so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you dont have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! Youre not convinced yet? Give it a try and
31、see what happens.36. The main idea of this article is . A. that you can improve your speaking ability B. that a poor speaker can never change C. to always make a short speech D. that it is hard to make a speech37. Paragraph 2 implies that . A. many people are afraid of giving a speech B. many people
32、 are happy to give a speech C. many people dont prepare for a speech D. many people talk too long 38. The phrase “talk over their heads” means . A. speak too loudlyB. look at the ceiling C. look down upon themD. use words and ideas that are too difficult39. All of the following statements are TRUE e
33、xcept . 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 ability40. The title for this passage may be . A. Do Not Make a Long SpeechB. How to
34、Give a Good Speech C. How to prepare for a SpeechD. Try to Enjoy a speech BCBC is a famous air company which has over twenty planes carrying passengers and goods, flying along 12 fixed lines all over the world. Its service is very good but some passengers are still not satisfied with it and that is
35、why in 2003 and 2004 the company received letters of complaints from consumers or passengers who pointed out over a dozen kinds of problems which are divided in groups in the following table. Those about passengers things carried by the plane are Baggage problems. Customer service refers to service
36、work with passengers are not satisfied with. Oversales of seats are about the fact that more seats are sold and as a result the plane is too crowded to be safe. Refund problems appear when passengers fail to receive the money paid back to them because of what they have lost. Fares are problems about
37、 the price of tickets.Consumer Complaints Received By the CBCCategory20032004Flight problems20.2%22.1%Baggage18.3%21.8%Customer service3.1%11.3%Oversales of seats10.5%11.8%Refund problems10.1%8.1%Fares6.4%6.0%Reservation & Ticketing5.8%5.6%Tours3.3%2.3%Smoking3.2%2.9%Advertising1.2%1.01%Credit1.0%0.

By about what percent did the total number of complaints decrease from 2003 to 2004 ? A. 40% B. 60% C. 75%D. 100%43. I
39、f the circle graphs below show total consumer complaints for 2003, which graph shows a dark part that is about Flight problems and Refund problems together?CUnless we spend money to recognize and prevent asteroids（小行星）now, one might fall into Earth and destroy life as we know, say some scientists.As
40、teroids are bigger than the meteoroids（流星）that race across the night sky. Most move round the sun far from Earth, without causing danger to us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits（轨道）put them on a collision course（相撞路线）with Earth.Buy $50 million worth of new telescopes right now.
41、Then spend $10 million a year for the next 25 years to find out the right positions of most of the space rocks. By the time we find a very dangerous one, scientists say, we 11 have a way to change its course. Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons（核武器）. But the cost
42、wouldn t be cheap.Is it worth it？Two things experts consider when judging any risk are：1）How likely the event is：and 2) How bad the result is if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty impossiblebut if
43、one did fall, it would be the end of the world. “If we don t take care of these big asteroids, they 11 take care of us.” says one scientist. “Its that simple.”The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want a number of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less
44、 to fear from dangerous rocks than from a great many nuclear weapons set against them.” said a New York Time article.44. What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth?A. It sounds unlikely, but the danger exists. B. Such a collision might occur once every 25 years. C. Collisio
45、ns of smaller asteroids occur more often than expected. D. It is still too early to say whether such a collision might occur.45. What do people think of the suggestion to change the course of asteroids？A. It may not solve the problem, though it sounds practical. B. It may create more problems than i
46、t might solve.C. It is a waste of money because the event is very unlikely. D. Further research should be done before it is proved suitable.46. We can conclude from the text that . A. while pushing asteroids off course, nuclear weapons would destroy the worldB. asteroids racing across the night sky“
47、Theyre likely to hit Earth in the near futureC. there is no need to worry since the event is unlikely to happen in our lifetimeD. workable ways remain to be found to prevent the event happeningDIs it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient practice which has existed(存在) f
48、or at least six thousand years. It was always bad and usually foolish, but in the past, the human race managed to live with it. Modern cleverness has changed this. Either Man will end the existence of war, or war will end the existence of Man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons(核武器) that cause t
49、he most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeeded in ending the existence of nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in ending war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind
50、to look upon international problems in a new way not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skilful in killing people, but by settling in accordance with(按照) agreed rules of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.Th
51、ere are those who say that the acceptance of this or that ideology(意识形态) would prevent war. I believe this to be a big mistake. All ideologies are based upon dogmatic statements(强词夺理) which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their supporters believe in them so deeply that they are
52、willing to go to war in support of them.The movement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a commonplace that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world, but the spirit in which they are coming n
53、earer to is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations(谈判) should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the
54、 important struggle nowadays is not between different countries but between Man and the atom bomb.47. This passage implies that war is now . A. worse than in the pastB. as bad as in the past C. not so dangerous as in the pastD. as necessary as in the past48. In the sentence “To do this, we need to p
55、ersuade mankind” （Paragraph 1）, “this” refers to . A. to end the existence of warB. to improve weaponsC. to solve international problemsD. to live a peaceful life49. From Paragraph 2 we learn that the writer of the passage . A. is a supporter of some modern ideologies B. does not think that the acce
56、ptance of any ideologies could prevent war C. believes that the acceptance of some ideologies could prevent war D. does not doubt the truth of any ideologies50. According to the writer, _. A. war is the only way to solve international arguments B. war will be less dangerous because of the improvemen
57、t of weapons C. it is impossible for people to live without war D. war must be ended if Man wants to survive(生存)51. The last paragraph suggests that . A. international agreements can be reached more easily now B. Man begins to realize the danger of nuclear war C. nuclear war will surely not take pla
58、ce D. world opinion welcomes nuclear warEDont try telling Mark Bouch that dogs are mans best friends. His pet Keilar helped land him in prison.She dropped his package of amphetamine(安非他明) at the feet of police as they began a search of his house.Bouch, 26, was sure that the two officers would not fi
59、nd the package after he hid it in the bathroom. But he failed to take into consideration dogs natural instincts and now he is starting a nine-month prison sentence.Michelle Lockhart, 20, Marks girlfriend at the time, said yesterday: “I put the dogs into the bathroom to get them out of the way. The n
60、ext thing I knew, Keilar had a package in her mouth. Mark had hidden it in the bathroom and it was just on the floor in there. I couldnt believe it when the dog came out and put it right in front of the policemen. It was just following its instinct to pick things up. The police looked as surprised a
61、s I was and Keilar just looked really pleased with herself. She really gave the game away. I havent spoken to Mark since it happened.”The police had arrived at Bouchs home in Wigton, Cumbria, after a warning. They were puzzled to see a pet dog run out from behind a chair with a package in her mouth.
62、 It is believed Keilar had found the drugs in the bathroom before moving quickly down behind the furniture and then presenting the officers with her find. Detective Constable James Little, who was in charge of the case, said: “Somebody had a bag of amphetamine and when the police arrived, it disappe
63、ared rather rapidly. The dog, following its natural instinct, went and picked it up in its mouth and brought it back.”52. What would be the best title for the text? A. Mark Bouch was put into prison B. Dog sent its owner to prison C. Dogs are not mans best friends D. Caught by the police53. We can g

As a result, more and more students try to study from early morning till late afternoon, even during the ten-mi
79、nute break. In my opinion, to take a ten-minute break between classes is definitely necessary. Otherwise we will feel tired both physically and mentally.During the ten-minute break, we do something to get rid of tiredness. What we need is to have a real rest, instead of getting more tired. So doing nothing tiring in that period is really good for us.My ten-minute break is always pleasing. Sometimes I do some simple exercises. Sometimes I have a free chat with my classmates or just take a walk outside. When the next class begins, I feel fresh again.
