This sport takes you into a wonderful new world. It is like a visit to the moon. When you are under water, it is easy for you to climb big rocks because you are no longer heavy. Here, under water, everything is blue and green. During the day, there is plenty of light. When fish swim nearby, you can catch them with your hands.

And it was snowing heavily in the city. The surgeon thought he could get there before 12 oclock. A few minutes later, the doctor was stopped by a man in an old black coat.

It was after two oclock in the morning when the doctor arrived at the hospital in Clens Falls. Dr. Haydon told him that the boy had died an hour before. The two doctors walked by the door of the hospital waiting room. There sat the man in the old black coat with his head in his hands. MR. Cunningham, said Dr. Haydon to the man, This is Dr. Eyck.

Dr. Eyck was not able to arrive at the hospital in time D. something was wrong with Dr. Eycks carC Some time ago, I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didnt think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a lot of antique (古董)shops near my home. So I left my home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception (接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldnt even look at my chair. The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth. So I decided that my approach must be wrong. I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, Would you like to buy a chair? He looked at it over carefully and said, Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it? Twenty pounds. I said. OK, he said, I will give you twenty pounds. Its got a slightly broken leg, I said. Yes, I saw that, it is nothing. the shopkeeper answered. Everything was going according to my plan and I was getting excited. What will you do with it? I asked. It will be easy to sell once the repair is done. I will buy it. I said. What do you mean? You just sold it to me. Yes, I know, but I have just changed my mind, I am sorry. I will give you twenty - seven pounds for it. You must be crazy. he said. Suddenly the penny dropped. I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair. You are right, I said, What would you have done if I had walked in and asked you to mend the chair? I would not have agreed to do that. We dont do repairs, not enough money in it, and too much trouble. But! will mend this for you. Will you pay it for five? . He was a very nice person and was greatly amused (感到有趣)by the whole thing.29.

The reason is that we are all afraid of making fools of ourselves. 36 .But stop biting your finger-nails. Public speaking is easy. Its just plain talking, and you talk all the time. Although Im basically shy (honest!), Ive been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years, and I can tell you that public speaking is not a “gift” like musical talent. 37 . Here are some of the lessons I have learned:Your audience is going to come away with one or two of your main ideas. One or two. Not ten or 20. 38 . And if you dont have a clear idea of what you want to say, theres no way your audience will. 39 how you are going to open, what major points you want to make and how youre going to close.When I do a radio or TV piece, I often write the last sentence first. 40 . A strong close is critical: the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember.The standard length of a vaudeville act is usually 12 minutes. If all those performers singing and dancing their hearts out couldnt go on longer without boring the audience, what makes you think you can?A. Some people are born to be good at making speech B. Anybody who can talk can speak in publicC. Try to relax yourself before making the speech D. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we becomeE. If you cant express in a sentence or two what you intend to get across, then your speech is not focused well enoughF. When you know where youre headed, you can choose any route to get thereG. No matter how long or short your speech is, youve got to get your ducks in a row第二部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Have you ever had problems in your life and dont know how to be happy?
