Reread it and practise speaking in front of a mirror or another person. Practice will make you more confident.Finally, the manner of speaking is also an important step.

He wanted to help athletes run faster. So he had learned how to make running shoes. He had also started a shoe company with a friend. It was 1971. Running shoes at the time were heavy.They had spikes (鞋钉) on the sole (鞋底). The spikes tore up the track and slowed down runners.To make a lighter shoe, Bill tried the skins of fish. To make a better sole, he wanted to replace the spikes. Bill dug through his wife Barbaras jewelry box. He hoped to find a piece of jewelry with an interesting pattern. He would then copy the pattern onto the new soles. Nothing worked. Bill was defeated.Then, one Sunday morning, Barbara made Bill waffles (华夫饼) for breakfast. Bill watched her cook.He studied the criss-cross pattern on a waffle iron.Inspiration struck. The pattern on the waffle iron was just what Bill was looking for. The squares were flatter and wider than sharp spikes. The pattern would help the shoes hold any surface without tearing into it.When Barbara left the house, Bill ran to his lab. He took the liquid chemicals that, when mixed, would harden into the sole of a shoe. He poured the mixture into the waffle iron-and the Waffle Trainer was born.Bills company put the Waffle Trainer on market in 1974. It was a huge hit. Maybe youve heard of that company-its called Nike. And today its worth around $100 billion.It was the waffle iron that had changed the course of Bills life-and helped turn Nike into a well-known name. Today, the waffle iron is kept at Nike headquarters. It serves as a reminder that if we keep trying, we can find a solution to even the most difficult problems. And those solutions can come from unlikely places, even the breakfast table.24. What shortcomings did the old-style running shoes have?A. They were hard to wear.B. They were too large.C. They were impractical.D. They were easy to break.25. Where did Bill get the inspiration to invent the famous Waffle Trainer?A. From the skins of the fish.B. From his wifes jewelry.C. From the color of the iron.D. From his wifes cooking.26. What can we learn from Bills success?A. A cheer wife is the joy of life.B. Two heads are better than one.C. Where theres a will, theres a way.D. A bad workman quarrels with his tools.27. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Waffles and NikeB. Inspiration and InventionC. A Great InventorD. A Well-Known Company【答案】24. C 25. D 26. C 27. A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Bill Bowerman 决心设计一款新型轻便跑鞋，几经挫折，最后华夫饼的模具给了他设计灵感，最终诞生了新款耐克训练鞋，耐克公司也成为知名体育用品公司。【24题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“Running shoes at the time were heavy. They had spikes (鞋钉) on the sole (鞋底). The spikes tore up the track and slowed down runners.”可知，老式跑鞋很沉，且鞋底的鞋钉易损坏跑道，同时减缓了跑步者的速度，由此可知，老式跑鞋的缺点是不实用，故C项正确。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据文章的第五段“Inspiration struck. The pattern on the waffle iron was just what Bill was looking for.”可知，Bill从妻子做华夫饼的模具中找到了制作新款耐克鞋的灵感，故D项正确。【26题详解】推理判断题。通读全文可知，Bill发现老式跑鞋的弊端，决心设计新款跑鞋，经过多次尝试改进，从1971年到1974年，用了三年时间终于完成第一款大受欢迎的耐克鞋，这个发明的过程启示人们面对困难，只要不放弃、多钻研，定能找到解决的办法，故C项（有志者，事竟成）正确。【27题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，Bill在设计新款耐克鞋的过程中多次受阻，但在妻子制作华夫饼时受到启发而突破了工作的瓶颈，让新款耐克鞋得以发明，华夫饼是新款耐克鞋诞生的关键转折点，故A 项（华夫饼和耐克）适合作文章标题。【点睛】文章标题题的难度较大，需要高度概括出文章内容，因此抓住文章主题的关键词是关键，例如本篇第4题，本文主要讲述了Bill决心设计一款新型轻便跑鞋，几经挫折，最后妻子做华夫饼的模具给了他设计灵感，最终诞生了新款耐克训练鞋，华夫饼是新款耐克鞋诞生的关键转折点，因此标题一定要体现出华夫饼和耐克的关系，故A 项适合作文章标题。CGovernment in Tibet have denied the permanent(永久的) closure of Mount Qomolangma National Nature Reserve.The announcement came after a report went viral online claiming the base camp of the worlds highest mountain was “permanently closed due to heavy pollution” and caused a universal misunderstanding.Mount Qomolangma National Nature Reserve was set up in 1988. Covering an area of more than 33, 800 square km, it is home to one of the worlds most weak ecosystems(生态系统).Kelsang, deputy director of the reserves administration, said ordinary tourists are allowed to visit areas around Rongpo Monastery, almost 5,000 meters above sea level. As for travelers who have a climbing permit, they can go to the base camp at an altitude of 5,200 meters. The mountaineering activities have been permitted by the regional forestry department.To conserve the environment surrounding Mount Qomolangma, China carried out three major clean-ups at an altitude of 5, 200 meters and above last spring, collecting eight tonnes of household wastes, human wastes and mountaineering trash. This year, the clean-up will continue, and the remains of mountaineering victims(受害者) above 8,000 meters will be centrally dealt with for the first time. Meanwhile, the number of people who stay at the base camp will be kept under 300.Recently, there are 85 wildlife protectors in the reserve, and 1,000 herders have part-time jobs going around and cleaning up garbage.These measures aim to strike a balance between various demands such as environmental protection, local poverty relief, mountaineering and education, said Wang Shen, county chief of Dingri at the mountain foot.28. Which of the following can replace the underlined words “went viral” in Paragraph 2 ?A. Spread wild.B. Block out.C. Gave away.D. Shoot up.29. What can we learn according to Kelsangs words about the National Nature Reserve?A. Most tourists are allowed to visit the base camp.B. Permit is a must for visitors going to the base camp.C. The mountaineering activities are not allowed these days.D. The areas above 5,200 meters are open to everyone.30. Why did the government carry out clean-ups at an altitude of 5, 200 meters and above?A. To provide a much easier path for mountaineers.B. To keep mountaineering activities going smooth.C. To remove the remains of mountaineering victims.D. To protect the environment of Mount Qomolangma.31. How many people are involved in the cleaning up activities at present?A. 300B. 1000C. 85D. 1085【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，西藏自治区政府否认网传“珠峰景区永久关闭”的不实消息，并表示西藏珠峰保护区将继续有条件开放。【28题详解】词义猜测题。根据画线词后 “. caused a universal misunderstanding”可推知，一篇声称珠峰景区因污染严重而永久关闭的报道在网上疯传，引起了普遍的误解，由此可知，画线词词义为“疯传”，故A项正确。【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“ordinary tourists are allowed to visit areas around Rongpo Monastery, almost 5,000 meters above sea level. As for travelers who have a climbing permit, they can go to the base camp at an altitude of 5,200 meters. The mountaineering activities have been permitted by the regional forestry department.”可知，普通游客可以参观海拔5,000米的荣普寺周边地区，对于有登山许可证的游客，可参观海拔5,200米的大本营，登山活动已得到林业部门的批准，由此可知，去大本营的游客必须有登山许可，故B项正确。【30题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段“To conserve the environment surrounding Mount Qomolangma, China carried out three major clean-ups at an altitude of 5, 200 meters and above last spring”可知，为了保护珠峰周边的环境，去年春天，中国政府在海拔5, 200以上的地方进行了三次大清理，故D项正确。【31题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“there are 85 wildlife protectors in the reserve, and 1,000 herders have part-time jobs going around and cleaning up garbage.”可知，保护区里有85名野生动物保护者，有1,000名牧民做清理垃圾的兼职工作，共有1085个人参与了清理工作，故D项正确。【点睛】词义猜测题的难度较大，理解画线词的上下文是关键，例如本篇第1题，根据画线词后 “ caused a universal misunderstanding” 表明这篇报道引起了普遍的误解，影响如此之广，一定是传播速度非常快，因此这篇报道一定是在网上疯传，由此可知，画线词词义为“疯传”。DAs people age, the body changes in all sorts of predictable ways. Brains can slow. Wounds take longer to recover. And sleep patterns(模式) shift, too. This can come as news to many, says Michael V. Vitiello, a psychologist at the University of Washington who is expert in sleep in aging.The most noticeable-and often most annoying-changes are how sleep and wake-up times change and sleep gets lighter, often beginning in middle age. Gone are weekend sleep to 11 a.m. and the ability to sleep through a noisy garbage truck down the block.But not every restless night can be ignored. Studies have found that poor sleep can create a particular threat to older adults-Falls, depression and anxiety, problems with memory, and increased suicide(自杀) risk are among the effects of sleep issues in this population group that researchers have found. But scientists are still unsure why those risk connections exist.What is clear is the connection between good sleep and psychological well-being in older adults. A 2010 study showed us that connection when it came to sleep quality, but sleep quantity didnt show the same effects. And that, experts say, may be the key to understanding sleep as you age. If youre sleeping less, but dont feel negative effects out of bed, the changes you notice may just be normal age-related.Over time, Vitiello says, sleep patterns simply change. A lot of older adults recognize that they dont sleep the same as they did when they were 18, but they can still function and theyre
