【题目】 No matter what field you are in, there will likely come a time when you have to give a powerful speech to friends, colleagues, or even complete strangers. 1 However, being able to give great speeches is often a necessity for those looking to achieve success. Here are a few tips to help you make the entire process easier.

1. Get in the Right Mindset

Visualize yourself before your speech succeeding to help calm your nerves. 2 And you should remember that people want to see you succeed, they don't want to see you fail. If you get in the right mindset, you will find the rest comes much easier than you may imagine.

2. 3

Make sure that you focus on the point of your speech and the message that you are trying to get across. Don't worry about focusing on the fact that you are giving the speech or any of the props or visual aids that you may have. If you get nervous or stutter during your speech, don't apologize and just fix your attention on your speech.

3. Do Your Research

When it comes to preparing for your speech, it is not only important that you research the topic but that you research your audience as well. Know who you are speaking to. Also if you are able to greet some of the audience members and speak with them before hand, this is a great way to break the ice and feel more comfortable while speaking. 4 Make sure you also research the room. Arrive early so you feel comfortable in the room, and practice with the microphone or any equipment you will be using.

4. Practice

It may seem like a simple and rather obvious tip, but unfortunately, adequate practice is something that many people today avoid when it comes to speaking in public . 5, but it means practicing out loudstanding up in a similar position while giving your speech. Make sure that you practice in front of both the mirror and the audience.

A.Focus on the Point

B.Develop a Strong Message

C.Make sure you take several deep breaths before giving your speech

D.Practicing does not just mean reading the speech over and over again

E.Thus you won't feel as though you are speaking to a room of strangers

F.You may feel stiff, tight or uncomfortable when you are about to speak

G.There are many people struggling with the process of writing and delivering speeches

【答案】

1G

2C

3A

4E

5D

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章就如何做好演讲提出了一些建议。

1上一句讲述的是无论你在哪个领域,都会有需要演讲的时刻;下一句讲述的是能够成功地发表演讲是一项成功人士必备的技能。G. There are many people struggling with the process of writing and delivering speeches有许多人在写作和发表演讲的过程中挣扎。承上启下,故选G

2根据小标题可知,本段主要讲述保持良好的心态。根据上一句中to help calm your nerves 可知讲述的是帮助消除紧张情绪的方法。C. Make sure you take several deep breaths before giving your speech. 在演讲之前要记得进行深呼吸。呼应上文,故选C

3此处设空位置为小标题处,应为本段的中心句。根据本段第一句可知,本段中心思想是在演讲时确保把注意力集中在演讲稿的要点上。A. Focus on the Point. 集中于要点,为本段标题。故选A。

4上文描述的是在演讲之前最好对观众进行研究,在事先和他们交谈下。E. Thus you won't feel as though you are speaking to a room of strangers. 这样你就不会觉得好像和一屋子陌生人在讲话了。此处讲了事先研究观众的好处,承接上文,故选E。

5本段的中心思想是练习。下一句but it means practicing out loud,但它意味着大声练习。D. Practicing does not just mean reading the speech over and over again. 练习不意味着反复地读演讲稿。承接下文,故选D

七选五在近些年的考试中,大多数情况下均是结构清晰,主题明确的说明文。因为其上下文逻辑较强,所以考生在做题时,可以根据关键词来秒杀出正确答案。如第3小题,下文多次提到focusfocus on短语,故通过锁定此关键词得出正确答案A;如第5小题,小标题是Parctice,并且段中多次提到practice,且选项D中也出现practice,所以我们推断出D为正确选项。

【题目】 Many of us think, wrongly, that the moon doesn’t change. For example, the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ruoxu once wrote that “Generations have come and passed away; From year to year the moons look alike, old and new.”

However, a new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience shows that the moon is in fact slowly shrinking over time. For the study, a group of US scientists examined and analyzed thousands of photographs taken by the NASA orbiter Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera. They found that there were lots of faults (断层) on the surface of the moon. These faults were formed by recent movement on the moon.

According to NASA, the moon is made up of pieces of rocks with a hot core. The moon continued to expand as it was born. But in this process, it released energy and cooled down. Then it began to shrink, in a way comparable to the shrinking of a grape into a raisin (葡萄干) . Over the past several hundred million years, it has become 46 meters “skinnier”. But due to its hard and rocky crust (外壳), the moon’s surface continues to push up. “Some of these quakes can be fairly strong around five on the Richter scale,” said Thomas Watters, a senior scientist at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in the US.

But does that mean the moon is a dangerous place that human shouldn’t try to explore and live on in the future? Maybe not, reported the Telegraph, “This isn’t anything to worry about. The moon may be shrinking, but not by much. It’s not going anywhere,” Watters comforted us.

The new discovery proves that the idea that the moon is a dead, boring place is wrong. “We have been to the moon and we’ve done some great science, but there is still a lot we don’t know. The moon is shrinking — we didn’t really realize that until recently. It’s a much more active and interesting place than we thought and we should explore that,” NASA scientist Nathan Williams said.

1Why does the writer quote the poem?

A.To praise the beauty of the moon.

B.To show people’s long-standing idea of the moon size.

C.To arouse people’s interest in the topic.

D.To get readers familiar with the poem.

2Which point of view about the moon may the writer agree to?

A.It is becoming slightly smaller.B.It stays the same as before.

C.It is getting older and older.D.It may disappear one day.

3What can we learn about the moon from the third paragraph?

A.It has become 46 meters fatter due to expanding.

B.It has changed from a grape into a raisin in recent years.

C.It quakes even at seven on the Richter scale.

D.It has a hot core and releases energy when expanding.

4Who thinks that we needn’t worry about the moon?

A.Zhang Ruoxu.B.Thomas Watters.

C.Nathan Williams.D.The journalist.

5What does Nathan Williams think of the moon?

A.It is a dead and boring place.B.It has lots of faults on the surface.

C.It is worth exploring moreD.It isn’t a place where we can live.

Technological changes brought dramatic new options to Americans 1(live) in the 1990s. During this decade new forms of entertainment, commerce, research, and communication 2(become) commonplace in the U. S.

The Internet was developed during the 1970s by the Department of Defense.

【题目】 A drug designed entirely by artificial intelligence is about to enter clinical human trials for the first time. The drug, which is intended to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder ( OCD)(强迫症),was discovered using Al systems from Oxford-based biotech company Exscientia. While it would usually take around four and a half years to get a drug to this stage of development, Exscientia says that by using the Al tools it's taken less than 12 months.

The drug, known as DSP1181, was created by using algorithms (算法)to examine potential compounds (化合物),checking them against a huge database of parameters, including a patient's genetic factors. Speaking to the BBC, Exscientia chief executive Professor Andrew Hopkins described the trials as a “ key milestone in drug discovery “ and noted that there are “ billions” of decisions needed to find the right molecules (分子)for a drug, making their eventual creation a “ huge decision. “ With Al, however, “the beauty of the algorithms is that they are unknowable, so can be applied to any disease.”

We've already seen multiple examples of Al being used to diagnose illness and analyze patient data, so using it to engineer drug treatment is an obvious progression of its place in medicine. But the Al - created drugs do bring about some relevant questions. Will patients be comfortable taking medicine designed by a machine? How will these drugs differ from those developed by humans alone? Who will make the rules for the use of Al in drug research? Hopkins and his team hope that these and a great many other questions will be explored in the trials, which will begin in March.

1What is special about the drug designed by Al?

A.It's a better cure for OCD.

B.It has no side effect on humans.

C.Its development takes less time.

D.It doesn't need clinical human trials.

2Which is a key factor in creating the drug according to Paragraph 2?

A.Trials.B.Algorithms.

C.Compounds.D.Molecules.

3How does Hopkins feel about the way of drug creation?

A.Optimistic.B.Doubtful.

C.Disappointed.D.Puzzled.

4What can be the best title for the text?

A.Medical Trials by AlB.An Example in Medical Trials

C.A Creation in Al DevelopmentD.Al - designed Drugs to Be on Trial
