Ⅰ.完形填空
After
the
typhoon,
I
went
to
the
disaster?stricken
area
to
look
after
rescued
animals.
There
I
met
Lucy,
another
__1__.
Lucy
operates
an
animal
__2__
center.
When
I
came
to
her
website,
I
__3__
a
picture
of
Victor,
a
dog.
I
asked
Lucy
about
Victor.
She
told
me
that
she
rescued
Victor
from
a
__4__
man
who'd
thrown
him
around
or
put
him
into
a
tiny
box.
Victor
had
__5__
on
Lucy's
lap
for
several
hours
while
she
assured
him
he
was
safe
and
__6__
to
find
him
a
loving
home.
I
decided
to
__7__
Victor.
I
renamed
him
“Chase”
for
his
__8__
for
chasing
everything.
Months
later,
Chase's
love
for
people
and
his
__9__
nature
led
us
to
earn
the
therapy
dog
certification.
And
we
started
a
__10__
program
at
the
local
__11__.
Kids
read
out
to
Chase
to
__12__
their
skills.
Sometimes,
even
a
kid
who
is
__13__
with
reading
will
be
comfortable
with
doing
so
to
a
dog.
One
little
girl
jumped
up
and
down
when
she
saw
Chase
entering
the
library.
Her
joyful
enthusiasm
made
me
__14__.
When
Chase
greeted
her
with
a
__15__，
she
clapped
and
said,
“Look,
Mommy,
he's
bowing！”
Chase
gave
her
his
undivided
__16__
while
she
read
him
a
story.
When
her
time
was
up,
she
signed
up
to
read
again.
I'm
grateful
for
everything
about
Chase
that
made
this
girl
jump
so
__17__.
I
hadn't
__18__
him
to
bow;
he'd
bowed
naturally.
I'd
known
the
library
visits
would
be
about
helping
kids
learn
to
read.
But
I
hadn't
realized
what
a(n)
__19__
builder
those
visits
would
be
for
kids
who
were
shy
or
didn't
fit
in.
Chase
was
also
a
wonderful
ambassador
(大使)
for
dogs—teaching
kids
to
be
__20__
to
animals.
“我”从一个动物救援中心领养了一只狗，“我”给它重新命名为Chase；“我”和Chase在当地的图书馆开始了一个朗读计划，出乎意料的是，这帮助那些害羞或不合群的孩子建立了自信。此外，Chase也是狗狗们的一个很棒的大使，它教会孩子们关爱动物。

Ⅱ.七选五
Public
Speaking
Public
speaking
can
be
defined
as
the
act
of
making
a
speech
in
front
of
a
group
of
listeners.
The
types
of
public
speaking
are
deliberately
structured
with
three
general
purposes：to
inform,
to
persuade
and
to
entertain
the
audience.
An
informative
speech
has
a
purpose
to
inform,
or
give
knowledge
to
its
audience.
__1__
For
persuasive
speech,
the
speaker
would
try
to
change
the
mindset,
perception,
or
behavior
of
the
audience
for
their
own
good.
Thus,
the
speaker
needs
to
look
for
common
ground
with
the
audience
and
try
to
relate
to
what
they
might
agree
on.
The
last
type
is
a
ceremonial
speech.
It
tends
to
be
less
formal
and
more
personal
than
the
other
types
of
speeches.
No
matter
how
well
you
know
the
person
you
are
giving
speech
to,
try
not
to
say
bad
things
about
them,
even
if
it
is
meant
to
be
a
joke.
__2__
Sparing
some
time
to
practice
will
help
build
confidence
and
help
determine
how
long
the
presentation
will
last.
Aside
from
it,
knowing
who
the
audience
will
be
is
quite
necessary.
Try
to
get
as
much
information
as
possible
regarding
this
particular
area
related
to
the
audience.
Knowing
the
“battlefield”
in
advance
will
give
the
speakers
a
huge
advantage.
Language
is
the
main
aspect
a
speaker
needs
to
pay
attention
to
while
giving
a
speech.
__3__
A
speaker
needs
to
choose
their
words
carefully
and
make
it
clear
to
the
audience
what
they
mean.
Often,
when
given
a
speech,
the
audience
look
to
the
speaker
to
give
them
something
new
and
useful.
__4__
Language
and
delivery
(演讲方式)
alone
will
not
be
sufficient
if
the
speaker
does
not
have
the
body
language.
The
movement
and
gesture
of
a
speaker
also
affect
the
audience.
While
closing
the
speech
or
presentation,
speakers
can
restate
their
main
points,
just
to
remind
the
audience
of
the
important
things
that
have
been
said.
__5__
A．It
needs
to
be
used
clearly.
B．These
speeches
mark
special
occasions.
C．The
important
thing
to
watch
about
is
not
to
put
in
too
much
information.
D．The
key
of
perfecting
anything
is
through
practice,
including
public
speaking.
E．They
can
also
end
it
with
a
special
message
and
encourage
the
audience
to
ask
questions.
F．Knowing
how
public
speaking
is
done
is
a
key
part
in
understanding
the
importance
of
it.
G．Thus,
the
speaker
needs
to
know
how
to
deliver
their
speech
to
fulfill
the
audience's
expectation.
本文介绍了公共演讲的几个类型以及做好演讲所需注意的事项。
1．C 解析：从结构上看，第二段首先介绍了公共演讲的三种目的；接下来对这三种目的分别介绍了其对应的演讲类型以及注意事项，空处位于介绍informative
speech这种类型之后，应是说明它的注意事项，故C项表述不要输入太多的信息符合语境。其中information是关键提示词。
2．D 解析：本空是段首句。本段讲述了公共演讲的两个注意事项。下文“Aside
from
it...is
quite
necessary”讲的是第二个注意事项：要提前了解观众是谁。接着进一步阐述了注意事项。空后讲的是多加练习对于演讲的好处，由此可推知，空处应是第一个注意事项，并且与空后一句中的“practice”相呼应，故选D。
3．A 解析：本空是段中句。空前一句是说语言是演讲中需注意的主要方面。空处应是对其进行进一步的说明，关键词是Language，A项中的It可推知指的就是Language，且根据空后的“make
it
clear
to
the
audience”可知，A项“它(语言)需要使用得很清楚”符合语境。
4．G 解析：本空是段中句。空前讲的是观众期待演讲者能给他们新的有用的东西，故G项“因此，演讲者需要了解如何发表他们的演讲来满足观众的期待”与空前一句构成逻辑上的因果关系，所以答案是G。
5．E 解析：本空是段尾句。空前讲的是演讲者可以重申要点，提醒观众所讲的重要事情来结束演讲，空处应是叙述另一种结束主式，故E项符合语境。

River,

Much
to

I
found
the

was
serious
polluted.
At
that

I
was
determined
to
do
what
I
could

it.
First,
under
my

help,
I
used
the
equipments
from
the
school
lab
to
test
the
quality
of
the
river
water.
But
then,
I
used
the
data
I
had
collected
it
to
analyze
the
pollution
of
the
river.
Finally,
I
write
a
report
on
the
pollution
of
the
river
to
the
local

I
also
gave
a

in

where
I
suggested
that
we
must
make
changes
to
protect
our
water
resources.
