Passage 1
(2023四川成都适应性模拟)
In your life,sometimes you may be asked to speak in front of a large group of people.Although it sounds a little scary,even those with stage fright can speak successfully to the group with adequate preparation.
Practice your speech before the big day. 1 If possible,practice the speech in front of a friend or a family member to get used to saying it to real people.If you feel you must have note cards,limit the amount to about three cards.This will force you to keep your speech concise and help you keep your eyes focused on your audience.
Remember why you’ve been invited to speak.If you’re battling fear over speaking to a large group of people,keep your mind on the fact that you were selected for this important role.The speech organizers must have seen something valuable in you or your expertise.
2
Remember that fear of public speaking is very common. 3 Most of the people in the audience would be feeling the same fear and stress that you do in your position.Knowing this may make you feel better.
4 What you say should be tailored to why you’re there and who you’re speaking to in order to avoid sounding general.If speaking to a charity group,mention the good work certain specific individuals have done for the cause.If speaking at a business conference,briefly state why you want to help these people.
Keep eye contact with the crowd. 5 Pick one person in each section and look at him while you’re speaking.After each important point in your speech,switch your focus to another section.When you focus only on one person at a time,the size of the crowd isn’t as frightening.
A.A good memory is really helpful.
B.Show appreciation to your audience.
C.Mention your audience in your speech.
D.The more you have it memorized,the better.
E.In fact,it’s normal to feel nervous or stressed out before a big speech.
F.Separate the crowd into three sections mentally as you get up to speak.
G.The knowledge of other people’s respect for you should reduce some of the fear.

Passage 3
(2023四川成都二诊)
Real policemen hardly recognize any resemblance between their lives and what they see on TV.
1 He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court.He has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer,and what is more,he has to apply it on his feet,in the dark and rain,running down a street after someone he wants to talk to.
2 He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad,unimportant people who are guilty of stupid crimes.
Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal:as soon as he’s arrested,the story is over. 3 Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks,little effort is spent on searching.
A third big difference between the drama detective and the real one is the unpleasant pressures:First,as members of a police force,they always have to behave absolutely in accordance with the law. 4 They can hardly ever do both.Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways.
If the detective has to deceive the world,the world often deceives him. 5 And this separation the detective feels between himself and the rest of the world is deepened by the simple-mindedness—as he sees it—of citizens,social workers,doctors,law-makers,and judges,who,instead of eliminating crime,punish the criminals less severely in the hope that this will make them reform.
A.He can’t get any evidence from the witnesses.
B.In real life,finding criminals is seldom much of a problem.
C.Little of his time is spent in chatting.
D.Sometimes he can chat with others to relax himself.
E.Second,as expensive public servants,they have to get results.
F.The first difference is that a policeman’s real life revolves round criminal law.
G.Hardly anyone he meets tells him the truth.

1.D 根据上文“Practice your speech before the big day.”可知,在重要日子到来之前,练习你的演讲。故该空对上文做补充说明,指出练习是为了记得更好。故选D项。
2.G 根据上文“Remember why you’ve been invited...valuable in you or your expertise.”可知,上文提到演讲组织者一定是看中了你的价值或是你的专业知识才邀请你的,故该空承接上文,说明这一行为的影响:其他人会因此对你尊敬,你也会减少一些恐惧。故选G项。
3.E 根据上文“Remember that fear of public speaking is very common.”可知,上文指出公开演讲的害怕是非常普遍的,该空承接上文,即说明在重要的演讲之前,感到紧张或是有压力是正常的。故选E项。

Passage 2
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些志愿服务的好处。
1.A 根据空前“Many people describe volunteering as merely an unpaid job where you put in the effort and get nothing in return.”可知,A项“However,it is not true to a certain extent.”作为过渡句,表示与上句的转折关系,其中it指代的就是上句提到的内容,且空后“Actually,volunteering has many benefits and you are always encouraged to volunteer your time to do what you are passionate about.”也是对A项的进一步解释。
2.D 根据本段空后内容可知,此处是在具体解释志愿服务的好处,这也是对D项“Why is it important for you to volunteer your time ”问题的回答。
3.G 根据空前“In addition to the health benefits,volunteering gives people a unique sense of purpose by serving those around them.”可知,此处的这种独特的使命感指的就是G项“The sense of giving back and contributing to society is unequalled.”中的回馈社会和为社会做贡献的感觉,且sense为词义复现。

Passage 3
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是现实生活中的警察与电视上的警察的不同之处。
1.F 首段为本文的总述,讲述的是现实中的警察与电视上的警察几乎没有什么相似之处。根据下文“He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court.He has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer,and what is more”并结合第五段首句“A third big difference between the drama detective and the real one is the unpleasant pressures”的提示可知,此空应为分述第一点区别,F项讲述的为第一点区别,符合文章结构特点。故选F项。
2.C 根据下文“He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad,unimportant people who are guilty of stupid crimes.”可知,第二点区别应该是现实生活中警察的时间如何度过的。C项讲述的内容与下文一致。故选C项。
3.B 根据下文“Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks,little effort is spent on searching.”可知,除了在谋杀和恐怖袭击等非常严重的案件中,真正的警察很少花时间在搜索犯人上。由此可推断,此空处与寻找罪犯有关系,B项中的finding criminals与空后的searching讲述的内容一致,符合语境。故选B项。
4.E 根据上文“First,as members of a police force,they always have to behave absolutely in accordance with the law.”可知,此处讲述的是首先作为警员他们要守法;结合空后的“They can hardly ever do both.”可知,此空处应分析警察的第二种行为标准。E项中的Second承接上文中的First,且内容一致,均是讲述现实中警察的行为标准,符合语境。故选E项。

5.F 根据段落主题句“Make use of technology.”可知,本段建议人们使用高科技健身工具和应用程序来进行监测,因此F项“But don’t choose trackers that simply monitor your step numbers.”符合语境,和后句内容形成对比。

长难句分析:
(Passage 1)If you’re battling fear over speaking to a large group of people,keep your mind on the fact that you were selected for this important role.
分析:本句为复合句。If you’re battling fear over speaking to a large group of people为if引导的条件状语从句;that you were selected for this important role为同位语从句,修饰the fact。
句意:如果你正在为与一大群人交谈而努力使自己不害怕,那就把注意力放在你被选中担任这个重要角色的事实上。
