This article gives some suggestions
12、 on how to give an effective speech. So, you have to give a speech- and youre 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 no good at public speaking. I hope I n
13、ever have to do that again. ”Cheer 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 plenty of time doi
14、ng 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. Dont talk over their heads, an
15、d 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 through so that you make
16、person-to -person contact with your audience. If you follow these simple steps, youll 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 see what happens. 26. T
17、he 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 27.

18、eople do not prepare for a speech D. many people talk too long 28. The phrase “talk over their heads” means _.

19、w 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 30.

20、How to Prepare for a Speech D. Try to Enjoy a Speech BSolar energy for your home is coming. It can help you as a single home owner. It can help the whole country as well. Whether or not solar energy can save your money depends on many things. Where you live is one factor and the type of home you hav
21、e is another. Things like insulation (绝缘材料), present energy costs, and the type of system you buy are added factors.Using solar energy can help save our precious fuel. As you know, our supplies of oil and gas are very limited. There is just not enough on hand to meet all our future energy needs. Soo
22、ner or later Mother Nature will say thats all. The only way we can delay hearing those words is by starting to save energy now and by using other sources, like the sun.We wont have to worry about the suns running out of energy for another several billion years or so. Besides, the sun doesnt offer as
23、 many problems as other energy sources. For example, fossil fuel(矿物燃料) adds to already high pollution levels. With solar energy, we will still need sources of energy, but we wont need as much. That means we can cut down on our pollution problems.With all these good points, why dont we use more solar
24、 power? There are many reasons for this. The biggest reason is money. Until now, it was just not practical for a home owner to put in a solar unit. There were cheaper sources of energy.All that is changing now. Solar costs are starting to equal the costs of oil and electricity. Experts say that gas,
25、 oil and electricity prices will continue to rise. The demand for electricity is increasing rapidly. But new power plants will use more gas, oil or coal. Already in some places the supply of electricity is being rationed (限量供应). Solar energy is now in its infancy (初期). It could soon grow to become a
26、 major part of our nations energy supply.31. Whats this passage mainly about? A. Something about solar energy and pollution. B. Solar energy. C. Energy and pollution. D. Energy and money.32. Solar energy can help us _.A. escape punishment from nature B. become home owners C. get rid of present energ
27、y D. save our precious fuel33. The sun is an endless source of energy, and it will not run out of energy for _. A. several million years B. several hundred years C. several billion years D. several thousand years 34. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Energy from coal would not pollute ou
28、r living environment. B. Energy from natural gas would not pollute our living environment. C. Energy from the sun would not pollute our living environment. D. Energy from oil would not pollute our living environment.35. Solar energy is now in its infancy, _. A. but in the future it will become an im
29、portant part of our nations energy supply B. so we will build more power plants C. and the supply of electricity will be rationed throughout the countryD. so we dont need it CSome people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together,
30、they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: international competitions encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred（憎恨）. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view th
31、at sport encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident including the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by incidents caused mainly by smaller national contests.One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey(曲棍球) final.
32、There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were sure that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents victory was unfair. Their manager was in great anger when he said, “This wasnt hockey. Hockey and t
33、he International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension（停赛） of the team for at least three years.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game.
34、The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much thatencourages aggressive patriotism(爱国主义).36. According to the author, recently the Olympic Games have _.A. crea
35、ted goodwill between the nations B. brought about only false national prideC. hardly showed any international friendship D. put an end to misunderstanding and hatred37. The underlined word “disallowed”(in Paragraph 2) means “_”.A. permitted to pass B. considered as reasonableC. won by the other side
36、 D. refused to accept38. What did the manager mean by saying, “Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished”?A. His team would no longer take part in international games.B. Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions.C. There should be no more Hockey matches orga
37、nized by the Federation.D. The Federation should break up.39. The author gives the example in paragraph 2 to show _.A. how false national pride led to undesirable incidents in international gamesB. that sportsmen are often against the final decisionsC. that competitiveness in the games discourages i
38、nternational friendshipD. that unfair decisions are common in the Olympic Games40. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?A. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.B. Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.C. A game should be played competitively rather th
39、an for the love of the game.D. More and more athletes will compete for their own honor.第二节 信息匹配（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）下面是一篇应用文及其应用场合的信息，请阅读下列应用文和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。a.
