Most large publishing h
23、ouses require authors to participate in a 10-city book tour, at the minimum. For self-published authors, its a good idea to arrange as many events as your time and budget allows. But, no matter whos making the arrangements, there are five key ingredients to making the event a success:1. It is very i
24、mportant to plan your book event carefully. This means knowing exactly what youre going to say and how you will say it. Some authors believe that they can just wing it, relying on the audience to provide questions for discussion. Leaving the content to the audience to define is a poor idea. The auth
25、or should take the lead. Audiences are there to hear more about the book, usually before they buy it. Have a plan for what you are going to say. Youll feel much more confident, and then if the audience is familiar with you and your writing, you will have that much more to enrich your talk. Remember
26、the purpose of the book event: you are there to convince people to buy your books. Be prepared, and dont leave things to chance!2. Keep it interesting, build a relationship with the audience, and leave them wanting more. More is for them to purchase a copy of your book. If youve written a book, then
27、 you have a story to tell. Connect with the audience, take them into the palm of your hand, and make them want to hear the end of the story.3. Practice so you are natural, be consistent with who you are as a person. Even the greatest speakers practice their speeches before they give them. Have you e
28、ver watched the Oscars and cringed at some of the acceptance speeches? Have you ever been captivated and want more from the actors? Whats the difference in those speeches? The amount of time and care went into practicing what they were going to say, and to whom.4. Keep to the time frame. Tell your s
29、tory, but dont overstay your welcome. Practicing your speech allows you to time your speech. That sense of time makes it possible to shift naturally from building a relationship, telling the story, and moving to the business portion of the book event.5. Allow time to tell people about the book itsel
30、f, what it contains, and how it completes the story you just shared with them. And dont forget to tell people how they can own a personal copy! After all, thats the reason you are there in the first place.36. The passage is most probably designed for_. A. readers B. large publishing houses C. writer
31、s D. audience37. Which of the following statements is Not true according to the passage ? A. The purpose of the book event is to sell more books. B. The author should spend time practicing his speech before it is delivered. C. The author keeps to the time frame so that there can be enough time for s
32、elling the book. D. The process of the book event is building a relationship, telling the story and discussion.38. The underlined words “wing it ”in Paragraph 2 probably means _. A. make a successful speech B. talk without preparation C. feel confident D. speed up39. The author can do all the things
33、 except_. A. attending as many book events as possible B. depending on the audience to provide questions for discussion C. limiting the time of the speech D. having an interesting plan for the book event to attract the audience BHere are some of the top stories of two thousand ten. The world continu

Investors punished Greece with much higher borrowing costs. The sixteen countries that use the euro joined the International Monetary Fund in offering loans of ab
35、out one hundred forty billion dollars in May.But, Greece had to agree to deeply cut government spending. Some demonstrations against the measures turned violent.And debt problems extended beyond Greece. Ireland asked euro-area members and the IMF for help last month. Its rescue was even bigger, cons
36、idering the size of the Irish economy.Euro-area nations have set up a bailout fund of about one trillion dollars. But the IMF worries that may not be enough. Portugal, Spain and Italy could soon require emergency loans. And the euro has declined, making imports more costly for the areas struggling e

China temporarily cut off rare lower export limits for rare earths earth metals meant for Japan after a territorial dispute in September. China controls nearly all of the rare earth metals market. These metals are used
38、in everything from smart bombs to batteries. China recently announced lower export limits for rare earths for next year.In the United States, the central bank took steps to speed recovery. The Federal Reserve announced a plan to add six hundred billion dollars to the economy. The goal is to keep lon

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped about nine percent in less than an hour before mostly recoverin
40、g. A five-month federal investigation of the so-called flash crash suggested a single big trade may have been the cause.Rich nations continued to hurt economically this year. But World Bank economist Hans Timmer says , “not all countries are reporting problems. By far the most, the biggest story is
41、the very strong performance of the emerging economies.” The so-called BRIC nations, Brazil, Russia, India and China, are expected to report notable economic growth this year.40. The passage is about_ stories. A. political B. cultural C. economic D. financial41. How many countries mentioned in the pa

43、rm interest rates low and make investmentandhiring easier. D. The so-called BRIC nations, Brazil, Russia, India and China, are expected to report notable economic growth this year.C To prevent diabetes(糖尿病) you will get a real jolt ( shock ) when you follow the prescription offered up in the Journal
44、 of the American Medical Association. This prestigious organization reported on separate studies of coffee drinkers in Sweden and Finland.Whiz-bang medical researchers discovered that women could decrease their risk of diabetes by 29 percent when they followed a regimen of drinking three to four cup
45、s of coffee a day. The ladies who had the courage to drink 10 or more cups of coffee a day progressed even better. They reduced their risk of diabetes by 79 percent. The men participating in the studies also reduced their risk, but not to the extent as did the women. When men drank three to four cup
46、s a day, they reduced their risk of diabetes by 27 percent. The men who drank 10 or more cups of java per day reduced their risk by 55 percent.These results confirm a January report by the equally prestigious Harvard School of Public Health. That report concluded that drinking six 8-ounce cups of co
47、ffee a day could reduce diabetes risk in men by about 50 percent and in women by 30 percent.If the numbers have any connection to reality, the more coffee you drink, the better off you are. And that is the rub. The numbers have nothing to do with reality, nothing to do with the truth. Here in Americ
48、a the rate of adult-onset diabetes, or Type 2 diabetes, is growing increasingly. Nowadays it typically shows up in middle-age populations, but the disease is on the rise among ever-younger age groups.Do not step up your coffee consumption in the belief it will help you prevent diabetes. This disease
49、 has absolutely nothing to do with a lack of coffee drinking.Science and truth are not synonymous. Medical scientists do not deal with truth. The medical scientists who monkey around with coffee drinking merely play with limited and approximate descriptions of reality. In this case, extremely limite
50、d and hardly approximate.If you are serious about preventing diabetes, you have to look at the differences between the people of the past who did not get diabetes and the people of today who get diabetes. This involves more than merely harping on(唠叨)the fact the younger generation is becoming more o
51、verweight and less active.We have plenty of newly discovered diabetics who are active and on the thin side-and they drink lots of coffee. The primary difference between the people of the past who did not get sick and die like we do, and the present lot who become diabetics, is poor nutritional statu
52、s. The diabetic-in-process has an inadequate intake of nutrients and/or excessive intake of nutrient-poor foods. Conversely（相反地）, his/her healthy ancestors had a nutrient-rich diet. The nutrient-rich diet of the past contained, minimally, four times the amount of minerals, and ten times the amount o
53、f fat-soluble（可溶解的） vitamins found in the American diet of the late 1930s and early 1940s.Folks who learn where health comes from and practice prevention wont become diabetic, and will not need the medical community dosing them with coffee, or any other magic bullet.43. What is the writers attitude
54、towards the result about the research on diabetes? A. The writer believes it. B. The writer is delighted to know it. C. The writer doesnt believe it. D. The writer is annoyed to know it.44.The underlined word “This” in Paragraph 7 refers to _. A. studying the differences between the people of two ty
55、pes B. preventing diabetes C. monkeying around with coffee drinking D. looking at the people who did not get diabetes 45. Which of the following statement is Not true according to the passage? A. The American Medical Association conducted the medical research in Sweden and Finland.B. The men partici
56、pating in the studies reduced their risk to the same extent as the women did.C. In America the rate of Type 2 diabetes among ever-younger age groups is growing. D. The people of the present who become diabetics have a nutrient-poor diet. 46. What is the best title of the passage? A. Build Health: Wa
57、nt To Prevent Diabetes? B. Build Health: Why To Prevent Diabetes? C. Build Health: What To Prevent Diabetes? D. Build Health: Where To Prevent Diabetes?DTomorrow would be Christmas Day, and Della had only one dollar and eighty-seven cents to buy her husband Jim a gift. She had been saving every penn
58、y she could for months, with this result.Now, Mister and Missus James Dillingham Young had two possessions which they valued. One was Jims gold time piece, the watch that had been his fathers and his grandfathers. The other was Dellas hair.She put on her coat and her old brown hat. With a quick moti
59、on and brightness still in her eyes, she danced out the door and down the street.Where she stopped the sign read: Madame Sofronie. Hair Goods of All Kinds. Della ran up the steps to the shop, out of breath.Will you buy my hair? asked Della.Twenty dollars, said Madame, lifting the hair with an experi
60、enced hand.Give it to me quick, said Della.The next two hours went by as if they had wings. Della found it at last. It surely had been made for Jim and no one else. It was a chain- simple round rings of silver. She gave the shopkeeper twenty-one dollars and she hurried home with the remaining eighty
61、-seven cents.Jim was never late coming home from work. Della held the silver chain in her hand and sat near the door. Then she heard his step and she turned white for just a minute. She had a way of saying a little silent prayer about the simplest everyday things, and now she whispered: Please God,
62、make him think I am still pretty.The door opened and Jim stepped in. He stopped inside the door, as immovable(不动) as a dog smelling a bird. His eyes were fixed upon Della. There was an expression in them that she could not read, and it frightened her. It was not anger, nor surprise, nor fear, nor an
63、y of the feelings that she had been prepared for. He simply looked at her with a strange expression on his face. Della went to him.Jim, my love, she cried, do not look at me that way. I had my hair cut and sold because I could not have lived through Christmas without giving you a gift. My hair will
64、grow out again. I just had to do it. My hair grows very fast. Say Merry Christmas! Jim, and let us be happy. You do not know what a nice- what a beautiful, nice gift I have for you.You have cut off your hair? asked Jim, slowly, as if he had not accepted the information even after his mind worked ver
65、y hard.Cut it off and sold it, said Della. I tell you-sold and gone, too. It is Christmas Eve, boy. Be good to me, for it was cut for you. Maybe the hairs of my head were numbered, she went on with sudden serious sweetness, but nobody could ever count my love for you. Shall I put the meat on, Jim?Ji
66、m seemed to awaken quickly and put his arms around Della. Then he took a package from his coat and threw it on the table.Do not make any mistake about me, Dell, he said. I do not think there is any haircut that could make me like my girl any less. But if you will open that package you may see why yo
67、u had me frightened at first.There were the beautiful combs, made of shells, with jewels at the edge -just the color to wear in the beautiful hair that was no longer hers. She held the combs to herself, and soon she was able to look up with a smile and say, My hair grows so fast, Jim!Then Della happ
68、ily held the silver chain out to him in her open hands. It seemed so bright.Dell, said Jim, smiling, let us put our Christmas gifts away and keep them a while. They are too nice to use just right now. I sold my gold watch to get the money to buy the set of combs for your hair. And now, why not put t

But if you think your personal details disappear as soon as you hit the return key, think again: they can sit on the computers hard disk fo
73、r years waiting for a hacker (黑客) to take them.As people spend more time on the web and hackers become more experienced, the dangers of storing personal information on computers are growing by the day, security experts say. There are some safeguards, such as never allowing your computer to store you
74、r passwords. But even that is no guarantee of security.When you type in a password, it is stored in random access memory (RAM), where it is held temporarily until other data overwrites it or the computer is switched off.The computer copies the contents of its RAM onto hard disk, where it is easy to
75、take for a hacker, who can read it directly or design a worm to e-mail it back. The longer sensitive data stays in RAM, the more likely it is to be copied onto the disk, where it stays until it is overwritten-which might not happen for years.Tal Garfinkel and colleagues from Stanford University have
76、 created a software tool which simulates (模拟) the workings of a complete computer system. Within the simulation, sensitive data can be tagged and then tracked as it passes through the system. Next, Garfinkel and his team simulated computers running common software that regularly handles passwords or

As is seen from the pictures, nearly sixty percent of the students take 50-100yuan or more from their parents every week whi
84、le forty percent get less than 10yuan. Although four in ten parents refuse to give the money when thinking its not reasonable, half of them seldom refuse their childrens request and one in ten cares little about how the money is spent. Therefore, some students with a large amount of pocket money may
85、 not know how to use it appropriately. Just as the picture shows, to show off how rich he is, one student treats his classmates to dinner, asking them to order whatever they like. I think the main reason for this is that children arent taught the skills to manage money. So I have some suggestions to make. First, parents should help kids learn money-management skills such as spending with a plan. Besides, more opportunities should be offered to kids, helping them know earning money is hard work. Only in this way will kids treasure the money. (170 words)版权所有：高考资源网()版权所有：高考资源网()
