How to Speak Clearly in Public Speeches
When it 41 to public speaking, the most important thing is to speak clearly．You want the audience 42 (hear)everything you have to say when giving public speeches, not to question your words later 43 they couldn’t hear you．A good public speaker is the person who knows 44 to speak clearly．
Practice makes perfect．Try 45 (practice)in front of a mirror, in front of your friends, or even in front of your pet dog if you need help．
Use the proper tone when speaking．Most people find it easy to slip into a monotone voice, where every word that comes out of their mouth sounds the same．Not only 46 this bore the audience, but also makes you hard 47 (understand)and follow．
Pronounce your words carefully and clearly．This means 48 (use)the right pronunciation of words．lf you have any questions on how a word is pronounced, ask for help beforehand．
Speak slowly so that the audience can hear you．lf your natural speed is fast, practice speaking at a 49 (slow)pace than usual before your speech．
Project your voice when needed．You don’t need to scream at the audience, but your voice should rise 50 (slight)if people in the back of the room can’t hear your speech．
41．____________ 42．____________ 43．____________ 44．____________ 45．____________46．____________ 47．____________ 48．____________ 49．____________ 50．____________
【答案】41．comes42．to hear 43．because
44．how 45．practicing46．does
47．to understand48．using49．slower
50．slightly
【解析】◎语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。公共演讲时, 最重要的是讲清楚。听众是来听你说话, 而不是看你在麦克风前喃喃自语的。一个优秀的公共演说家知道如何讲清楚自己的意思。
41．考查固定用法。根据此处语境可以得知, 此处考查固定句式“When it comes to．．．”“当涉及……时”, 故答案为comes。
42．考查非谓语动词。want sb．to do sth, 表示“想让某人做某事”, 故用to hear作宾语补足语。
43．考查连词。“随后不会因为听众没有听清而对你的演讲内容产生质疑”, 故用because连接。
44．句意：—个好的公众演讲者懂得如何清楚地表达自己的演讲内容。此处为“疑问词+动词不定式”作knows的宾语。
45．考查固定用法。try doing sth．表示“试着做某事”, 句意为“如果你需要帮助, 就尝试着在镜子面前、朋友面前, 甚至在宠物狗面前练习演讲”, 故答案为practicing。
46．考查倒装句。not only．．．but also．．．连接两个并列分句时．not only置于句首, 该分句用倒装语序。根据此句后半部分中的makes可以得知此处用助动词does构成部分倒装。
47．考查非谓语动词。根据空格前面的hard可以得知, 此处答案为to understand, 即动词不定式的主动形式表示被动意义, 即“会使得你很难被听众理解……”。误解分析：此题考生易误填入to be understood。解题时要尤为注意空格前面语境中的形容词hard。
48．考查非谓语动词。mean doing表示“意味着做某事”, 即“这就意味着单词的发音要正确”, 故用using。
49．考查形容词比较级。根据其后语境中的than usual可以得知, 此处表示“比平常更加慢的语速”, 故答案为slower。
50．考查副词。修饰动词应该用副词形式。
短文改错
【题干】假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文, 请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误, 每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
增加：在缺词处加一个漏词符号(∧), 并在此符号下面写出该加的词。
删除：把多余的词用斜线(＼)划掉。
修改：在错的词下画一横线, 并在该词下面写出修改后的词。
注意：1．每处错误及其修改均仅限一词：
2．只允许修改10处, 多者(从第11处起)不计分。
Last Sunday morning, when I was having a walk in the park near my home, I came across a crew make a new film with one of my favorite actor．l didn’t have my camera with me at that time, but I rushed back home to get．Unfortunately, by the time I got back, they have finished the scene and the actor couldn’t be seen everywhere．I was really disappointing and about to leave when he walked out a building．He was right in the front of me! I couldn’t believe my luck-not only did I had my photo taken with him, but he signed his name on my shirt!
【答案】第一句：make→making
第一句：actor→actors
第二句：but→so或者and
第二句：get后加it
第三句：have→had
第三句：everywhere→anywhere
第四句：disappointing→disappointed
第四句：out后加of
第五句：去掉the
第六句：had→have
【解析】1．此处作定语, 和所修饰的名词crew是主动关系, 所以用现在分词形式。
2．one of后接名词复数, 表示“……中的一个”。
3．上下句之间不是转折关系, 而是因果或顺承关系。
4．get意为“(回去)拿, 取”, 是及物动词, 后应该接it, 代指camera。
5．根据时间状语从句by the time I got back可知, 主句应该用过去完成时态。
6．句意：到处都找不到那位演员, anywhere在否定句中表示全部否定, 符合语境。everywhere用于否定句中表示部分否定。
7．disappointing令人失望的；disappointed感到失望的, 此处表示“我感到非常失望”。
8．walked out of a building走出了一栋楼, 固定搭配。
9．in the front of在……前面, 内部的前面；in front of在……前面, 外部的前面。
10．此处为部分倒装, 为一般过去时态, 故当把助动词did提到主语之前时, 谓语动词用原形。

【题干】It’s generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and attitudes．They recycle their garbage because they care about the environment．They pay $5 for a caramel brulée latte because they like expensive coffee drinks．
It’s undeniable that behavior comes from our inner dispositions(性情), but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are, as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bem, by observing our own behavior．We can be strangers to ourselves．K we knew our own minds, why would we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior If our minds were an open book, we would know exactly how much we care about the environment or like lattes．Actually, we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are．
Moreover, we don’t just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of character-we infer characters that weren’t there before．Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us, which we fail to recognize．Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didn’t．Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress the people around us．We should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result of some inner disposition．
Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make, people become what they do, though it may not be in compliance(符合)with their true desires．Therefore, we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonnegut’s advice: "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be．"
l．According to the passage, personalities and attitudes are commonly believed to_____________．
A．determine one’s behavior
B．reflect one’s taste
C．influence one’s surroundings
D．result from one’s habits
2．Which of the following would Daryl Bem most probably agree with
A．The return of a wallet can indicate one’s honesty．
B．A kind person will offer his seat to the old．
C．One recycles plastics to protect the environment．
D．One buys latte out of true love of coffee．
3．What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the passage
A．We fail-to realize our inner dispositions．
B．We can be influenced by outside pressures．
C．Our behavior is the result of our true desires．
D．Our characters can shape our social relationships．
4．What does the author mainly discuss in the passage
A．Personalities and attitudes．
B．Preferences and habits．
C．Behavior and personalities．
D．Attitudes and preferences．
【答案】1．A 2．A 3．B 4．C
【解析】◎语篇解读本文为议论文, 题材为社会生活类。作者对人的行为和性格之间的关系进行了探讨。最后用Kurt Vonnegut的一句话进行了总结：我们将自己伪装成什么, 我们就是什么。所以, 当我们伪装时, 一定要谨慎呀！
1．细节理解题。根据第一段第一句可知, 通常认为人们的行为方式取决于他们的性格和态度。那反过来说就是：一个人的性格和态度决定了他的行为方式。故选A。
2．推理判断题。根据第二段第一句可知, 正如社会心理学家Daryl Bem所说的, 毋庸置疑, 人的行为来自于我们的内在性情, 但是在很多例子中我们是通过观察我们自己的行为来推断出我们是怎样的人的结论。四个选项中只有A项表示的是一种行为暗示出人的性格, 而其他三个选项均不符合。
3．推理判断题。画线的这一句是对上一句话的举例说明, 画线处前面一句话是说：我们的行为经常受到我们周围小的压力的影响, 这一点我们认识不到。B项与画线句意义一致, 故选B。
4．主旨大意题。从第一段第一句阐述大家通常认为行为和性格的关系, 到第二段Daryl Bem提出通过一个人的行为也能看出他的性格, 第三段提到我们的行为也受到周围压力的影响, 第四段通过Kurt Vonnegut的一句话强调了两者之间的关系, 所以本篇文章主要讲的是行为和性格, 故选C。
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳选项。
【题干】 A
About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio (影棚)to take part in a crowd-scene．Although our " act" would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things．
We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path．Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position．The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby．Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start, walking along the path．A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in "snow"．Two more fans were turned on, and a "strong wind" blew through the trees．The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold．
The next scene was a complete contrast(对比)．The way it was filmed was quite unusual．Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen．An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water’s edge on an island．By a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!
Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us．For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film "stars"!
1．Who is the author
A．A cameraman．
B．A film director．
C．A crowd-scene actor．
D．A workman for scene setting．
2．What made the author feel cold
A．The heavy snowfall．
B．The man-made scene．
C．The low temperature．
D．The film being shown．
3．What would happen in the “three minutes” mentioned in the last paragraph
A．A new scene would be filmed．
B．More stars would act in the film．
C．The author would leave the studio．
D．The next scene would be prepared．

1．细节理解题。根据第一段第一句话可知, 作者和其他一些人是群众演员。
2．推理判断题。根据第二段的描述可知, 为了拍摄设置了一些人造的场景, 这些场景非常逼真, 由本段最后一句话可以得出使作者感到很冷的是这些人造场景。
3．推理判断题。第二段和第三段分别叙述了两个不同的场景, 最后一段提到现在轮到作者他们了, 由此可知, 一个新的场景即将开始拍摄。
【题干】 B
A year ago, at the annual pre-Grammy party, Whitney Houston, the great star, walked on to the stage and closed the evening with a brilliant performance．
Last Saturday, Houston was once again the focus before the Grammy, but her presence was a regrettable one．Earlier that day, the pop music’s former queen was found dead in her hotel room．She was 48．This, no doubt, was sad news to the whole music industry and her fans all over the world．
At her peak, Houston was the golden girl of the music world．From the mid-1980s to the late 1990s, she was one of the world’s best-selling artists．She impressed audiences with her effortless, powerful and peerless performance．
Besides multimillion record sales, Houston made countless hits such as The Greatest Love of All, I Have Nothing, and the most famous I Will Always Love You．She also influenced a generation of younger singers, from Christina Aguilera to Mariah Carey．
But at the end of her career, there was a shocking fall for this superstar．Houston had been addicted to drugs．Her album sales declined and the hits stopped coming and her once beautiful voice became hoarse (嘶哑的), unable to hit the high notes as she used to．
In 2009, Houston staged a successful comeback with the album I Look To You, which fell on top of the charts．Because of her hoarse voice, canceled concerts, and continuous illness, Houston’s comeback trail wasn’t smooth at all．In an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2009, Houston admitted, "It(show business)is too much for me and I wanted out．"
Now that Houston has finally taken a break from all the chaos, may she rest in peace．
4．Whitney Houston died______________．
A．shortly before the Grammy this year
B．earlier last Sunday
C．a year ago
D．at the annual pre-Grammy party
5．The underlined word "peerless" in Paragraph 3 most probably means_________．
A．having great power B．having no equal
C．requiring no effort
D．leaving no impression
6．The cause of the fall of Whitney Houston was that____________．
A．her album sales declined
B．the show business was too much for her
C．her once beautiful voice became hoarse
D．she had been addicted to drugs
7．Whitney Houston’s achievements include the following except that_________．
A．she made countless hits such as I Have Nothing
B．she influenced a generation of younger singers
C．she became the focus before the Grammy this year
D．she staged a successful comeback in 2009
【答案】4．A 5．B 6．D 7．C
【解析】◎语篇解读我们深爱的歌手惠特尼·休斯顿去世了, 我们对她永远怀念, 永远追思, 祝她在天堂里安息。
4．细节理解题。根据第二段前两句可知, 她死于今年Grammy奖前的一天。
5．猜测词义题。由第三段末句可知, 休斯顿的表演是effortless, powerful and peerless。A、C两项与文章表述重复, “震撼人心”的表演不可能不给人留下印象, D项排除。B“没有对手”, 意为其演唱是“无与伦比”的精彩。
6．细节理解题。由倒数第三段的第二句可以看出, 她事业的衰退源于她吸食毒品。
7．细节理解题。C选项, “她成了今年的格莱美奖之前的焦点”并非她本人的成就, 其他选项都是。

【题干】 D
Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England．He never studied the piano．However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them．He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts．Then he thinks about the notes in his head．Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata(奏鸣曲)by Beethoven．He surprised everyone around him．
Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable．They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even realize that what he can do is special．Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead．Now, he studies law and music．
Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised．" I grew up with music．My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar．About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons．It comes easily to me-l hear the notes and can bear them in mind-each and every note, " says Samuel．
Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college．The piece had more than a thousand notes．The audience was impressed by his amazing performance．He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can’t play it．Samuel says confidently, " It’s all about super memory-l guess I have that gift．"
However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t stop with music．His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word．
Samuel is still only a teenager．He doesn’t know what he wants to do in the future．For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies．
12．What is special about Samuel Osmond
A．He has a gift for writing music．

C．He is a top student at the law school．
D．He can play the musical piece he hears．

14．Everyone around Samuel was surprised because he__________．
A．received a good early education in music
B．played the guitar and the piano perfectly

【答案】12．D 13．B 14．C 15．B

12．细节理解题。根据第一段中However．he can play very difficult musical pieces．．．just a few minutes after he hears them可知他(Samuel Osmond)可以演奏他听到的乐曲。
13．细节理解题。根据第二段中Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents．．．可知, Samuel原打算听从父母的意愿成为律师, 与B选项相符。本题D为易错选项, 根据下文．．．but music teachers told him he should study music instead．得知Samuel的老师们建议他学音乐而不是学习法律和音乐。
14．细节理解题。根据第一段中He learns 8 piece of music．．．He surprised everyone around him．可知选C。
15．主旨大意题。本文的第一句就提到了Samuel Osmond, 后面讲述了他的音乐天赋, 所以选B“一位音乐天才的故事”。
