Section Ⅳ Writing a speech
Ⅰ.阅读理解
All day long, at an MSF distribution center, humanitarian (人道主义的) supplies make their way to some of the most dangerous spots on the planet. Specially marked boxes are being packed with medicines and supplies, which are on their way to Ebola-affected Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.
Kathy Dedieu became a sanitation (卫生设备) and water engineer for MSF a decade ago. She has just returned from Liberia, where MSF is working to help reopen the hospitals. Her job is to make sure that clean parts of the hospitals are kept separate from areas that are polluted. She says the situation there is a complete disaster. “Even during the war, I haven’t seen a health system close so fast. The hospitals are empty because the health staff just aren’t there,” she says. Dedieu was in Liberia during that country’s civil war in 2003.
MSF was founded in 1971 by a group of doctors and journalists. “I remember being criticized in the 1980s as a ‘medical cowboy’,” says Rony Brauman, who headed MSF from 1982 to 1994. “We were blamed for riding in, distributing our pills and creating unreasonable expectations.” But Brauman says that’s the nature of health care. “We raise expectations; we create new diseases by treating old diseases,” Brauman says. “That’s how it works in general. It was a kind of fight. MSF won that fight.”
MSF doctor Cameron Bopp says he’s worked with other humanitarian organizations but always missed the level of devotion and motivation he’s found at MSF. “The main thing that’s different about MSF from the point of view of someone like me who goes out and works in the field is that when there’s an emergency, other organizations say,‘Whoa, this is an emergency. We’re gonna be there as soon as we get funding.’ And MSF has the funding,” he says. “We start right away.” Ninety per cent of MSF’s funding comes from a devoted base of five million donors. That gives it the independence to speak out and do what’s really needed.
1.What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A.Showing the places affected by Ebola.
B.Exploring a distribution center of MSF.
C.Introducing one of the functions of MSF.
D.Encouraging donations to Ebola-affected areas.
2.What can we learn about Kathy Dedieu?
A.She is working in Liberia.
B.She was once a soldier in the civil war.
C.She founded MSF with many other doctors.
D.She helps with pollution prevention in hospitals.
3.What was people’s attitude to MSF in the early years?
A.Optimistic. B.Uncaring.
C.Disapproving. D.Curious.
4.How is MSF different from other organizations according to Cameron?
A.It has a lot of faithful donors. B.It involves many journalists.
C.It is operated by doctors themselves. D.It obtains funding from the government.

In her small town, Emma was known for her love and respect for all living creatures, and she believed that humans and animals should coexist peacefully and harmoniously. One day, while hiking in the nearby woods, Emma spotted a wounded deer caught in a hunter’s trap. Without hesitation, she carefully freed the deer and nursed it back to health.
Over the next few weeks, Emma devoted her time and energy to caring for the deer. She visited it every day after school, bringing fresh fruits and vegetables. She carefully examined its wounds, applying some medicine to help it get better and prevent infection. As the days went by, the deer began to regain its strength, and Emma was overjoyed to see it stand on its legs once again.
Emma also took the time to learn about deer behavior and their natural habitat. She researched the best foods to feed the deer and created a comfortable place for it to rest in during the day. She even made a small water fountain to ensure that the deer had access to clean drinking water.
As the weeks turned into months. Emma watched as the deer grew stronger and more confident. It would often follow her around the backyard, nudging (轻推) her playfully with its nose. Emma felt a deep sense of satisfaction knowing that she had played a part in saving this beautiful creature’s life.
One sunny afternoon, as Emma sat in her backyard reading a book, she heard a familiar sound. She looked up and saw the deer standing near her, looking at her with gentle eyes. It was clear that the deer had fully recovered and was ready to return to the wild.
Emma felt a sense of sadness but also knew that it was time for the deer to go back to its natural habitat. She opened the gate and watched as the deer bounded away, disappearing into the forest. From that day on, Emma continued to care for animals in need, knowing that she had made a difference in the life of at least one creature.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Months later, Emma had almost forgotten about the deer when one day, she received an unexpected visitor.
From that day on, the deer became a regular visitor to Emma’s backyard.

After spending a pleasant afternoon here, the dear returned to the forest.
From that day on, the deer became a regular visitor to Emma’s backyard. Emma always prepared the best foods to feed the deer and created a comfortable place for it to rest in during the day. While taking care of the deer, Emma was also caring for animals in need. The backyard became a playground for various animals.

Hello, everyone.Today, I’m going to introduce Edgar Snow.Edgar Snow was an American journalist who wrote influential books and articles about China in the 1930s.At a time when relatively little was known about our country in the Western world, his 1937 book Red Star over China broke ideological boundaries by telling the stories of the Chinese communist movement from the inside. Although Snow was not the only international journalist to set foot in China during the early decades of the 20th century, what set him apart from the others was that he actually spent time with the Chinese Red Army.He listened to their stories and observed their day-to-day lives, as well as conducting interviews with Mao Zedong and other leaders.His biographical accounts and depictions of historical events, such as the Long March, therefore captured the spirit of the period and the people living through it with unprecedented authenticity.Snow is considered “our American friend”. I admire Snow’s special insight and bravery, risking his life during the war to get to the heart of the story and correct prejudice.For me, Snow’s writing, and in particular Red Star over China, is a must-read for anyone with an interest in that period. Opening:Who the person is and what boundary he has broken 首句为问候语,第二句介绍打算要介绍的人,这种开门见山式的开头是英语演讲稿的典型特点。第三句用who引导的定语从句补充介绍Edgar Snow,使句子非常紧凑。接着用when引导的定语从句介绍了当时的时代背景。 Body:How he achieved this 为了突出Snow和其他国际记者的不同,作者使用Although引导的让步状语从句进行了强调。使用listened to, observed,conducting等动词(短语)描述了他的工作。 Summary:Comments on him 首句用动词admire表达了对Snow的洞察力和勇气的钦佩。同时,使用动词-ing短语risking his life during the war to get to the heart of the story and correct prejudice作伴随状语,对Snow的事迹进行评价。

All day long, at an MSF distribution center, humanitarian (人道
主义的) supplies make their way to some of the most dangerous spots on
the planet. Specially marked boxes are being packed with medicines and
supplies, which are on their way to Ebola-affected Liberia, Guinea and
Sierra Leone.
Kathy Dedieu became a sanitation (卫生设备) and water engineer
for MSF a decade ago. She has just returned from Liberia, where MSF is
working to help reopen the hospitals. Her job is to make sure that clean
parts of the hospitals are kept separate from areas that are polluted. She
says the situation there is a complete disaster. “Even during the war, I
haven’t seen a health system close so fast. The hospitals are empty
because the health staff just aren’t there,” she says. Dedieu was in
Liberia during that country’s civil war in 2003.
MSF was founded in 1971 by a group of doctors and journalists. “I
remember being criticized in the 1980s as a ‘medical cowboy’,” says
Rony Brauman, who headed MSF from 1982 to 1994. “We were
blamed for riding in, distributing our pills and creating unreasonable
expectations.” But Brauman says that’s the nature of health care. “We
raise expectations; we create new diseases by treating old diseases,”
Brauman says. “That’s how it works in general. It was a kind of fight.
MSF won that fight.”
MSF doctor Cameron Bopp says he’s worked with other
humanitarian organizations but always missed the level of devotion and
motivation he’s found at MSF. “The main thing that’s different about
MSF from the point of view of someone like me who goes out and works
in the field is that when there’s an emergency, other organizations
say,‘Whoa, this is an emergency. We’re gonna be there as soon as
we get funding.’ And MSF has the funding,” he says. “We start
right away.” Ninety per cent of MSF’s funding comes from a devoted
base of five million donors. That gives it the independence to speak out
and do what’s really needed.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构
成一篇完整的短文。
In her small town, Emma was known for her love and respect for all
living creatures, and she believed that humans and animals should
coexist peacefully and harmoniously. One day, while hiking in the
nearby woods, Emma spotted a wounded deer caught in a hunter’s
trap. Without hesitation, she carefully freed the deer and nursed it back
to health.
Over the next few weeks, Emma devoted her time and energy to
caring for the deer. She visited it every day after school, bringing fresh
fruits and vegetables. She carefully examined its wounds, applying some
medicine to help it get better and prevent infection. As the days went by,
the deer began to regain its strength, and Emma was overjoyed to see it
stand on its legs once again.
Emma also took the time to learn about deer behavior and their
natural habitat. She researched the best foods to feed the deer and created
a comfortable place for it to rest in during the day. She even made a small
water fountain to ensure that the deer had access to clean drinking water.
As the weeks turned into months. Emma watched as the deer grew
stronger and more confident. It would often follow her around the
backyard, nudging (轻推) her playfully with its nose. Emma felt a
deep sense of satisfaction knowing that she had played a part in saving this
beautiful creature’s life.
One sunny afternoon, as Emma sat in her backyard reading a
book, she heard a familiar sound. She looked up and saw the deer
standing near her, looking at her with gentle eyes. It was clear that the
deer had fully recovered and was ready to return to the wild.
Emma felt a sense of sadness but also knew that it was time for the
deer to go back to its natural habitat. She opened the gate and watched as
the deer bounded away, disappearing into the forest. From that day on,
Emma continued to care for animals in need, knowing that she had made
a difference in the life of at least one creature.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式作答。
Months later, Emma had almost forgotten about the deer when
one day, she received an unexpected visitor.
From that day on, the deer became a regular visitor to Emma’s
backyard.

Months later, Emma had almost forgotten about the deer when one
day, she received an unexpected visitor. The deer stood beside her,
looking at her with gentle eyes. Emma felt so excited that she stood rooted
to the spot. The deer nudge her playfully with its nose, and then Emma
regained her senses. She quickly came back to bring fresh fruits and
vegetables to the deer and led it to the small fountain to drink clean
drinking water. After spending a pleasant afternoon here, the dear
returned to the forest.
From that day on, the deer became a regular visitor to Emma’s
backyard. Emma always prepared the best foods to feed the deer and
created a comfortable place for it to rest in during the day. While taking
care of the deer, Emma was also caring for animals in need. The
backyard became a playground for various animals. During the
interactions with animals, Emma felt happy and a sense of achievement.
She hoped that such days could last forever.
