七选五
阅读下面短文,
从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Some
individuals
are
born
with
a
gift
for
public
speaking.___1___Do
you
want
to
be
a
good
public
speaker?
Here
are
some
principles
you
must
master.
People
want
to
listen
to
someone
who
is
interesting,
relaxed
and
comfortable.
Too
often
when
you
stand
up
to
give
a
speech,
you
focus
on
the
“public”at
the
expense
of
the”speaking.
“
___2___
Focus
on
the
speaking.
Talk
directly
to
your
audience,
be
yourself
and
make
a
connection.
Even
the
most
successful
public
speaker
will
make
mistakes.
Yet,
the
only
one
who
cares
about
any
mistake
is
the
one
who
is
speaking.
People’s
attention
wanders
constantly.
In
fact,most
people
only
absorb
about
20
percent
of
a
speaker’s
message.
So,
don’t
stop
speaking
when
you
make
a
mistake
unless
it’s
a
truly
serious
one.___3___
Your
goal
is
not
to
be
a
perfect
public
speaker.___4___And
like
everything
else
in
life,
that
takes
practice.
Remember,
even
world
champion
athletes
practice
their
skills
on
a
consistent
basis.
___5___It’s
rare
to
hear
someone
say,
“I
wish
that
speaker
had
spoken
longer.
“On
the
other
hand,
you
probably
can’t
count
the
times
that
you’ve
thought,
“I’m
glad
that
talk
is
over.
It
seemed
to
go
on
forever!
“So
surprise
your
audience.
Always
make
your
presentation
just
a
bit
shorter
than
anticipated.
It’s
better
to
leave
your
listeners
wishing
for
more
than
shifting
restlessly
in
their
seats
waiting
for
your
speech
finally
to
end.
A.
Do
the
opposite.
B.
You
want
to
be
an
effective
public
speaker.
C.
You
don’
t
need
to
apologize
for
a
minor
slip.
D.
When
it
comes
to
public
speaking,
less
is
usually
more.
E.
The
objective
of
most
speeches
is
to
benefit
the
audience
F.
Take
the
fear
out
of
public
speaking
by
focusing
on
your
listeners
G.
However,
the
majority
of
people
are
effective
speakers
because
they
train
to
be.
【答案】1.
G
2.
A
3.
C
4.
B
5.
D
【解析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了成为好的演讲者需要掌握的一些原则。
1.
本文主题是介绍成为好的演讲者要掌握的一些原则。上句提到有些人生来就有演讲的天赋。G项:然而，大多数人之所以能成为有影响的演讲者，是因为他们受过训练。与上句转折，引出本文主题--演讲者要训练。故选G。
2.
下句Focus
on
the
speaking.是本段主题，建议演讲者把注意力集中在演讲上。上句提到一种常见现象，当站起来发表演讲时，演讲者往往会把注意力放在”公众”上，而不是”演讲”上。这是错误的做法，A项Do
the
opposite.承上启下，说明了上句做法的错误，引出了下句正确的做法。故选A。
3.
本段提到即使成功的演讲者也会犯错误，观众不会太在意你的错误。上句建议当出错时不要停止演讲，除非是非常严重的错误。C项:你不需要为一个小失误道歉。与上句承接，是对待演讲出错的方法。故选C。
4.
本段是说明练习的重要性。上句提到你的目标不是成为一个完美的演说家，下句应该说明目标是什么。B.
You
want
to
be
an
effective
public
speaker.与上句衔接，是我们演讲的真正目的。故选B。
5.
下文提到观众并不是认为演讲越长越好，根据
Always
make
your
presentation
just
a
bit
shorter
than
anticipated.可知，作者建议让演讲比预期的短一点，给观众更多的期待胜过让他们坐立不安地等待演讲结束。D项:公开演讲时，通常少就是多。说明了演讲时，多和少的辩证关系。故选D。
V:
阅读理解。阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选。
The
traffic
signals
along
Factoria
Boulevard
in
Bellevue,
Washington,
generally
don't
flash
the
same
length
of
green
twice
in
a
row,
especially
at
rush
hour.
At
9:30am,
the
full
red/yellow/green
signal
cycle
might
be
140
seconds.
By
9:33am,
a
burst
of
additional
traffic
might
push
it
to
145
seconds.
Less
traffic
at
9:37am
could
push
it
down
to
135.
Just
like
the
traffic
itself,
the
timing
of
the
signals
changes.
That
is
by
design.
Bellevue,
a
fast-growing
city
just
east
of
Seattle,
uses
a
system
that
is
gaining
popularity
around
the
US:
intersection(十字路口)
signals
that
can
adjust
in
real
time
to
traffic
conditions.
These
lights,
known
as
adaptive
signals,
have
led
to
significant
declines
in
both
the
trouble
and
cost
of
travels
between
work
and
home.
“Adaptive
signals
can
make
sure
that
the
traffic
demand
that
is
there
is
being
addressed,
”
says
Alex
Stevanovic,
a
researcher
at
Florida
Atlantic
University.
For
all
of
Bellevue’s
success,
adaptive
signals
are
not
a
cure-all
for
jammed
roadways.
Kevin
Balke,
a
research
engineer
at
the
Texas
A&M
University
Transportation
Institute,
says
that
while
smart
lights
can
be
particularly
beneficial
for
some
cities,
others
are
so
jammed
that
only
a
sharp
reduction
in
the
number
of
cars
on
the
road
will
make
a
meaningful
difference.
“It’s
not
going
to
fix
everything,
but
adaptive
signals
have
some
benefits
for
smaller
cities,”
he
says.
In
Bellevue,
the
switch
to
adaptive
signals
has
been
a
lesson
in
the
value
of
welcoming
new
approaches.
In
the
past,
there
was
often
an
automatic
reaction
to
increased
traffic:
just
widen
the
roads,
says
Mark
Poch,
the
Bellevue
Transportation
Department’s
traffic
engineering
manager.
Now
he
hopes
that
other
cities
will
consider
making
their
streets
run
smarter
instead
of
just
making
them
bigger.
1.
What
does
the
underlined
word
“that”
in
paragraph
2
refer
to?
A.
Increased
length
of
green
lights.
B.
Shortened
traffic
signal
cycle.
C.
Flexible
timing
of
traffic
signals.
D.
Smooth
traffic
flow
on
the
road.
2.
What
does
Kevin
Balke
say
about
adaptive
signals?
A.
They
work
better
on
broad
roads.
B.
They
should
be
used
in
other
cities.
C.
They
have
greatly
reduced
traffic
on
the
road.
D.
They
are
less
helpful
in
cities
seriously
jammed.
3.
What
can
we
learn
from
Bellevue’s
success?
A.
It
is
rewarding
to
try
new
things.
B.
The
old
methods
still
work
today.
C.
I
pays
to
put
theory
into
practice.
D.
The
simplest
way
is
the
best
way.
【答案】1.
C
2.
D
3.
A
【解析】本篇说明文介绍了美国华盛顿州的Bellevue采用了能随交通状况而调节交通灯时间的适应性信号灯，大大缓解了交通压力，也表明人们对于交通阻塞问题不再只是拓宽道路，而是能够采用新方法。
1.
指代猜测题。That位于第二段句首，应是指代第一段的内容。根据第一段内容尤其是第一段最后一句“Just
like
the
traffic
itself,
the
timing
of
the
signals
changes.(就像交通本身一样，信号灯的时间也会变化)”可知，第一段主要讲述的是信号灯的时间会灵活变化；“That
is
by
design.”意为“那是有意为之”，由此可推知，That指代第一段中“信号灯的灵活时间”。故选C项。
2.
推理判断题。根据第四段第一句中“adaptive
signals
are
not
a
cure-all
for
jammed
roadways(但自适应信号并不是解决拥堵道路的万能药)”及第二句中“others
are
so
jammed
that
only
a
sharp
reduction
in
the
number
of
cars
on
the
road
will
make
a
meaningful
difference(其他城市交通堵塞如此严重，只有减少道路上的车辆才能起有意义的作用)
”可推知，Kevin
Balke认为适应性信号灯对于交通堵塞很严重的城市没有太大帮助。故选D项。
3.
推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“These
lights,
known
as
adaptive
signals,
have
led
to
significant
declines
in
both
the
trouble
and
cost
of
travels
between
work
and
home.(这些灯，被称为适应性信号灯，已经大大减少了通勤的麻烦和花费)”最后一段第一句“In
Bellevue,
the
switch
to
adaptive
signals
has
been
a
lesson
in
the
value
of
welcoming
new
approaches.(在Bellevue，对适应性信号灯的转变是一个在欢迎新方法的价值方面的榜样)”可推知，从Bellevue的成功中可以得出，尝试新事物是值得的。故选A项。

Some
individuals
are
born
with
a
gift
for
public
speaking.___1___Do
you
want
to
be
a
good
public
speaker?
Here
are
some
principles
you
must
master.
People
want
to
listen
to
someone
who
is
interesting,
relaxed
and
comfortable.
Too
often
when
you
stand
up
to
give
a
speech,
you
focus
on
the
“public”at
the
expense
of
the”speaking.
“
___2___
Focus
on
the
speaking.
Talk
directly
to
your
audience,
be
yourself
and
make
a
connection.
Even
the
most
successful
public
speaker
will
make
mistakes.
Yet,
the
only
one
who
cares
about
any
mistake
is
the
one
who
is
speaking.
People’s
attention
wanders
constantly.
In
fact,most
people
only
absorb
about
20
percent
of
a
speaker’s
message.
So,
don’t
stop
speaking
when
you
make
a
mistake
unless
it’s
a
truly
serious
one.___3___
Your
goal
is
not
to
be
a
perfect
public
speaker.___4___And
like
everything
else
in
life,
that
takes
practice.
Remember,
even
world
champion
athletes
practice
their
skills
on
a
consistent
basis.
___5___It’s
rare
to
hear
someone
say,
“I
wish
that
speaker
had
spoken
longer.
“On
the
other
hand,
you
probably
can’t
count
the
times
that
you’ve
thought,
“I’m
glad
that
talk
is
over.
It
seemed
to
go
on
forever!
“So
surprise
your
audience.
Always
make
your
presentation
just
a
bit
shorter
than
anticipated.
It’s
better
to
leave
your
listeners
wishing
for
more
than
shifting
restlessly
in
their
seats
waiting
for
your
speech
finally
to
end.
A.
Do
the
opposite.
B.
You
want
to
be
an
effective
public
speaker.
C.
You
don’
t
need
to
apologize
for
a
minor
slip.
D.
When
it
comes
to
public
speaking,
less
is
usually
more.
E.
The
objective
of
most
speeches
is
to
benefit
the
audience
F.
Take
the
fear
out
of
public
speaking
by
focusing
on
your
listeners
G.
However,
the
majority
of
people
are
effective
speakers
because
they
train
to
be.

The
traffic
signals
along
Factoria
Boulevard
in
Bellevue,
Washington,
generally
don't
flash
the
same
length
of
green
twice
in
a
row,
especially
at
rush
hour.
At
9:30am,
the
full
red/yellow/green
signal
cycle
might
be
140
seconds.
By
9:33am,
a
burst
of
additional
traffic
might
push
it
to
145
seconds.
Less
traffic
at
9:37am
could
push
it
down
to
135.
Just
like
the
traffic
itself,
the
timing
of
the
signals
changes.
That
is
by
design.
Bellevue,
a
fast-growing
city
just
east
of
Seattle,
uses
a
system
that
is
gaining
popularity
around
the
US:
intersection(十字路口)
signals
that
can
adjust
in
real
time
to
traffic
conditions.
These
lights,
known
as
adaptive
signals,
have
led
to
significant
declines
in
both
the
trouble
and
cost
of
travels
between
work
and
home.
“Adaptive
signals
can
make
sure
that
the
traffic
demand
that
is
there
is
being
addressed,
”
says
Alex
Stevanovic,
a
researcher
at
Florida
Atlantic
University.
For
all
of
Bellevue’s
success,
adaptive
signals
are
not
a
cure-all
for
jammed
roadways.
Kevin
Balke,
a
research
engineer
at
the
Texas
A&M
University
Transportation
Institute,
says
that
while
smart
lights
can
be
particularly
beneficial
for
some
cities,
others
are
so
jammed
that
only
a
sharp
reduction
in
the
number
of
cars
on
the
road
will
make
a
meaningful
difference.
“It’s
not
going
to
fix
everything,
but
adaptive
signals
have
some
benefits
for
smaller
cities,”
he
says.
In
Bellevue,
the
switch
to
adaptive
signals
has
been
a
lesson
in
the
value
of
welcoming
new
approaches.
In
the
past,
there
was
often
an
automatic
reaction
to
increased
traffic:
just
widen
the
roads,
says
Mark
Poch,
the
Bellevue
Transportation
Department’s
traffic
engineering
manager.
Now
he
hopes
that
other
cities
will
consider
making
their
streets
run
smarter
instead
of
just
making
them
bigger.
1.
What
does
the
underlined
word
“that”
in
paragraph
2
refer
to?
A.
Increased
length
of
green
lights.
B.
Shortened
traffic
signal
cycle.
C.
Flexible
timing
of
traffic
signals.
D.
Smooth
traffic
flow
on
the
road.
2.
What
does
Kevin
Balke
say
about
adaptive
signals?
A.
They
work
better
on
broad
roads.
B.
They
should
be
used
in
other
cities.
C.
They
have
greatly
reduced
traffic
on
the
road.
D.
They
are
less
helpful
in
cities
seriously
jammed.
3.
What
can
we
learn
from
Bellevue’s
success?
A.
It
is
rewarding
to
try
new
things.
B.
The
old
methods
still
work
today.
C.
I
pays
to
put
theory
into
practice.
D.
The
simplest
way
is
the
best
way.

only
a
few

threw
in
the
towel

has
been
raised
through
the
detox--

better.
