    It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech.At some point in every speech,every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned.Fortunately,such moments are usually not obvious(明显的) to the listeners.Why?Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say.They hear only what the speaker does say.If you lose your place for a moment,wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences,or forget to pause at a certain point,no one will be any the wiser.When such moments occur,don’t worry about them.Just continue as if nothing happened.
    Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech,that doesn’t really matter.If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King’s famous speech—“I Have a Dream”,you may notice that he stumbles(结巴) over his words twice during the speech.Most likely,however,you don’t remember.Why?Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.
    People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication(交流).They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition.But,in fact,the listeners are not looking for a perfect performance.They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly.Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker’s attractiveness by making him more human.
    As you work on your speech,don’t worry about being perfect.Once you free your mind of this,you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.
    小题1:The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will _______.
    A．be smarter than youB．notice your mistakes
    C．do better than youD．know what you are talking about
    小题2:You don’t remember obvious mistakes in a speech because _______.
    A．your attention is on the content
    B．you don’t fully understand the speech
    C．you don’t know what the speaker plans to say
    D．you find the way of speech-making more important
    小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
    A．giving a speech is like giving a performance
    B．one or two mistakes in a speech may not be bad
    C．the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is made
    D．the more mistakes a speaker makes,the more attractive he will be
    小题4:What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．How to Be a Perfect Speaker
    B．How to Make a Perfect Speech
    C．Don’t Expect a Perfect Speech
    D．Don’t Expect Mistakes in a Speech

    Section A (10 points)                                                     
    Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage. WRITE NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.
    Many students eat their breakfasts on the way to school or in the dinning-room. But some of them don’t really know how to eat well when eating out.
    Here is some important advice. The first is to eat less fast food. The most obvious harm of eating too much fast food is weight gaining because of too much fat. Young people and adults are at risk of diseases related to weight.
    Too much fast food can drag your body down. French fries, for example, were recently found to contain much more acryl amide(丙烯酰胺) than other food. This may cause cancer. Actually, deep fried food all contains acryl amide. So don’t eat it too often.
    Soda is another thing you should watch out for. Cokes and other sodas contain a lot of sugar and can slow down a person’s calcium absorption, so it’s best to drink as little soda as possible.
    Food in the dinning-room may not be as tasty as fast food, but it’s actually easier to make healthy choices. Human bodies need variety. You can have a meal that balances lean proteins, vitamins and complex carbohydrates(碳水化合物). In other words, a meal with fish or meat, vegetables and some bread or rice will provide you with most nutrients that the body needs.
    Some snacks, on the other hand, will help keep you going until your next big meal. It is natural for teenagers, especially boys, to feel hungry during school time. Don’t forget to take some foods, like whole-grain biscuits or low-fat milk in your school bag.

    Though “nanometer” is now a fashionable term all over the world,few people know exactly what it is.It has become a new favorite of manufacturers and sellers in recent years.Many “high-tech” products bearing the name “nano” have entered the market,bringing more mysterious feeling to surprised consumers.
    Nanometer is a very small length unit of measure,and is very small.One millimeter is 1000 micrometers,and one micrometer is 1000 nanometers.That is,one nanometer is one billionth of a meter.Nano materials are solid materials composed of particles or crystallites of less than 100 nanometer in size.Then,is a cup made of nano material really any different from an ordinary cup in function as far as how it works?
    Are nano cups really so wonderful?A reporter went to the Institute of Nanomedicine,which is the first such institute of such a sort in the world and the only one in China,specializing in researching the investigation  of the application of nano technology into medicine.
    Ji(director Institute of Nanomedicine):
    A water molecule is composed of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.It can be alterchanged only by special manipulation of the atoms.The material constituting the cup can have a nanometer particles size of the nano level.But it cannot change the chemical and physical properties of the water contained in it.The water in the cup is still water.When people drink it,it will produce no special effect on human body.
    Prof.Ji told the reporter,so far,the investigation of nano materials is still confined in the laboratory.No commercial micro products can be produced yet.With the present level of science and technology,the time of everyday goods age of daily use articles made of nanometer materials is still years away.
    The commodities labeled with nano marks in the market now are only traditional products coated with a thin layer of nanometer material,which makes them more abrasion resistant,much easier to be cleaned,or oil repelling or moth proof.
    Prof.Ji explained that nano cup is a real cup.It can also be included in the list of nano products in a certain sense.But the nano cup has not changed its property and function as a cup.It is not a magical medicine for curing and health care.
    小题1:Which of the following shows the right relationship?
    A．nanometer<millimeter<micrometer<meter
    B．nanometer<micrometer<millimeter<meter
    C．micrometer<millimeter<nanometer<meter
    D．millimeter<micrometer<nanometer<meter
    小题2:The underlined part in the last second paragraph but one is about_________.
    A．the strong points of nano cupsB．the shortcomings of nano cups
    C．the uses of nano cupsD．the wonders of nano cups
    小题3:Which of the following does not show that nano cups are different from ordinary cups?
    A．Nano cups can’t make people healthier.
    B．Nano cups are made of a different material.
    C．Nano cups are much easier to be cleaned.
    D．Nano cups are hard to produce.

    There are little cars that may some day take the place of today’s automobiles(汽车). If everyone drives such a little car in the future, there will be less pollution in the air, there will be more parking space in cities, and the streets will be less crowded. The space now for one car of the usual size can hold at least three such little cars.
    The little cars will cost much less to own and to drive. Driving will be safer, too, as these little cars can go only 65 kilometers an hour.
    The cars of the future will be fine for going around the city, but they will not be useful for going far away. If the car is powered by electricity, it will have two batteries—one battery for the motor and the other for the horn (喇叭), signals (信号灯), etc. Little cars which are powered by gas will go 45 kilometers before needing to stop for more gas.
    If big cars are still used along with the small ones, two sets of roads will be needed to set up in the future. Some roads will be used for the big, fast cars, and other roads will be needed for the small, slower ones.
    1. What’s the advantage (优势) of the small cars?
    A. There won’t be so much pollution and the small cars won’t be so expensive as the big ones.
    B. It will be safer to drive these small cars.
    C. There will be more space for cars to park.
    D. All of the above.
    2. Two sets of roads are necessary in the future in order to      .
    A. prevent car accidents
    B. make the city more beautiful
    C. let small cars run fast
    D. limit the speed of the cars
    3. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A. A car of the usual size now is three times as big as the small car.
    B. The small car with a speed of 65 kilometers an hour is much more useless than a car of the usual size.
    C. the little car will be safer but cost more.
    D. The little car will need more gas.
    4. The best title for this passage should be      .
    A. Big Cars and Small Cars
    B. How to Drive Small Cars
    C. Cars for Tomorrow
    D. Cars for Everyone

    Among various programmes, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style(风格). But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.
    Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk”. The contents on his show are as surprising as can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people’s lives.
    Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality(质量) of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.
    Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.
    Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show’s main viewers are middleclass Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and ability to deal with life’s tough problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show’s exploitation.
    小题1: Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are ____.
    A．more interestingB．unusually popularC．more detailedD．more formal
    小题2:Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch the shows____.
    A．remain interested in themB．are ready to face up to them
    C．remain cold to themD．are willing to get away from them
    小题3:Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?
    A．A new type of robot.B．Nation hatred.
    C．Family income planning.D．Street accident.
    小题4:We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows_____.
    A．have become the only ones of its kind
    B．exploit the weaknesses in human nature
    C．appear at different times of the day
    D．attract different people

    A little under one-third of U.S. families have no Internet access and do not plan to get it, with most of the holdouts seeing little use for it in their lives, according to a survey released on Friday.
    Park Associates, a Dallas-based technology market research firm, said 29 percent of U.S. families, or 31 million homes, do not have Internet access and do not intend to subscribe（预订）to an Internet service over the next 12 months. The second annual National Technology Scan conducted by Park found that the main reason why potential customers say they do not subscribe to the Internet is because of the low value to their daily lives rather than concerns over cost.
    Forty-four percent of these families say they are not interested in anything on the Internet, versus just 22 percent who say they cannot afford a computer or the cost of Internet service, the survey showed. The answer “I’m not sure how to use the Internet” came from 17 percent of participants who do not subscribe. The response “I do all my e-commerce shopping and YouTube-watching at work” was cited by 14 percent of Internet-access users. Three percent said the Internet doesn’t reach their homes.
    The study found U.S. broadband adoption grew to 52 percent over 2006, up from 42 percent in 2005. Roughly half of new subscribers converted（转变）from slower-speed, dial-up Internet access while the other half of families had no prior access.
    “The industry continues to chip（击破）away at the core of non-subscribers, but has a long way to go,” said John Barrett, director of research at Parks Associates. “Entertainment applications will be the key. If anything will pull in the holdouts, it’s going to be applications that make the Internet more similar to pay-TV,” he predicted.
    41. What does the underlined word “holdouts” in the first paragraph most probably mean?
    A. some American families
    B. those who hold out one’s opinions
    C. those who have been surveyed
    D. those who still haven’t access to the Internet currently
    42. Many potential customers refuse to subscribe to the Internet mainly because _________.
    A. they show too much concern about the cost B. they can find little value of it
    C. they do most YouTube-watching at work D. the Internet doesn’t reach their homes
    43. From the passage we can infer that ________.
    A. It is not an easy job to transform those holdouts into the Internet users
    B. people will adopt dial-up Internet access no more
    C. many Americans enjoy doing e-commerce shopping at home
    D. more than half of the population are using the Internet in 2005
    44. According to John Barrett, what is the key to attracting more U.S. families to broadband service?
    A. making the Internet look more similar to TV set
    B. applying the Internet more to entertainment
    C. providing more pay-TV programs
    D. chipping away at the core of non-subscribers
    45. Which is the best title for the passage?
    A. Web develops with technology               B. The present situation of web
    C. Many Americans see little point to web    D. It is urgent to promote web service

    A while ago my family and I went sledding(滑雪橇) and as I watched my children climbing up the slope I started thinking.
    Many people are convinced that most of today’s   26   problems are because of the “me” generation. Youngsters are just out for themselves and pay no   27   to others or their needs. Indeed, a common belief is that today’s youngsters won’t do anything  28   there is something in it for them.
    Yet, while sledding, I saw a   29  side. I watched my two oldest children (then five and four) take my youngest(then two years old)by the hand to help her up the slippery slope  30   they went up. They would have been   31  without her, but not once did they try to sneak （溜掉）by her without helping. And when the sled  32  my two daughters was aimed toward the edge, it was my five year old son who ran to them to  33  them from falling and hurting themselves.
    These children sometimes   34  among themselves and, on occasion, behave horribly. But I can  35  them shopping and know that they won’t ask for anything, I can talk to them about tsunami or hurricane victims and know that they will offer to  36  some of their own money to the cause, and I can ask them to play with those children  37  on the sideline(作为旁观者) and know that they will befriend（照顾）them.
    Perhaps, therefore, the “me” generation is to blame  38   much of society’s problems—not the youngsters who want everything,   39  the adults who have taught them to selfishly  40   only of themselves.
    Most adults have been   41  at some time or another, sadly, many   42  that disappointment down to their children. Then the children learn to put themselves first!
    Most young children want to help. We can  43  that feeling by teaching the lesson my children learned while sledding: Life is a slippery slope with  44  of bumps(撞伤) and bruises(擦伤), but we can all make it to the  45  if we remember to help those who need it.
