Here are some simple steps to make your speech a successful one. First of all, find out everything you can about your subject and at the same time find out as much as you can about your audience. Who are they? What do they know about your subject? Put yourself in their shoes as you prepare your speech. Then try to arrange your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible. Never forget your audience. Dont talk over their heads or talk down to them. When you are giving your speech, speak slowly and clearly, look at your audience and pause for a few seconds from time to time to give your audience chances to think over what youve said. Just remember: be prepared, know your subject and your audience, say what you have to say and be yourself so that your ideas will bring you and your audience together.31. “Put yourself in their shoes as you prepare your speech.” means that while preparingyour speech, you must _.A. put your shoes away and put on theirs B. try on their shoes to see if they fit youC. wear the shoes in the same size as theirsD. think of your audience 32.

Theres only one place, and thats Hollywood, in California. The scenes you see from the tourist train are film sets (布景) in the Universal Studios, one of the oldest and largest movie companies (公司) in the USA.A visit to Universal Studios brings back memories of great days of Hollywood, the films and the stars. But they are only memories. Hollywood isnt quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas. Instead, they repeat old ones.The film industry is changing fast. Teenagers still go out to the movies. The theatre is a good place to meet friends away from home. But older people mostly stay home to watch series, like Dynasty, which have become as important to Hollywood as expensive movies. These “soap opera”, as they are called, show rich, powerful families living in beautiful homes and wearing beautiful clothes. But the actors and actresses are nearly all middle-aged, like many of the people who watch them.Though it is soap operas that are keeping the film-makers of Hollywood in Business, big films are still being made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important new center, but there are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they dont need Hollywood any more. Modern cameras and real houses instead of expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better working conditions and lower cost.But Hollywood is fighting back. The state of California is trying hard to keep its best-known industry.36. From the passage, we know Universal Studios is _.A. a very large park B. a busy London streetC. a famous movie companyD. an old Hollywood movie37. The movie industry in California isnt as successful as before because _.A. young people dont go to movie theatres any moreB. there is strong competition from other statesC. its movie companies are in need of young starsD. the state hasnt put a development plan into action38. Which of the following seems to be a threat（威胁）to Hollywood？A. The use of modern cameras and other equipmentB. The interest of middle-aged film starsC. The making of TV series like Dynasty D. The expensively made copies of scenes39. What can we learn about “soap operas” from the passage?A. They are teenagers favourites.B. They are much more expensive.C. They are less attractive. D. They are cheaper and easier to make.40. The passage mainly tells us _.A. something about the film industry in the USAB. the importance of soap operas in HollywoodC. the good old days of HollywoodD. the film business in CaliforniaCMany children love to play with snow in winter. But Long Chuan has come to hate it.This year his hometown suffered from snowstorms (遭受暴风雪) for nearly a month. The heavy snow stopped cars and trains, broke the electricity (电) tower and turned tap water to ice.Every day Long Chuan had to walk several kilometers to carry drinking water. “I couldnt ride a bike and it took me 3 hours to walk to school. I cant remember how many times I slipped (滑倒) on the hard ice, ” said Long Chuan.Long is not alone.

They also cost the country 111.1 billion yuan.Experts (专家) say a special type of climate condition (气候条件), La Nina, caused the storms. During a La Nina, the water in the Pacific Ocean (太平洋) near the equator (赤道) becomes colder than usual. It changes the weather around the world.Besides China, Canada, the US and Middle Eastern countries also met with heavy snowstorms this winter. The special climate caused the recent flooding (洪水) in Australia, too.However, experts say that people have destroyed the environment (环境). Global warming (全球变暖) may be causing these terrible weather events to happen more and more often.41. What took place in Long Chuans hometown last winter?A. Earthquake. B. Flooding. C.

Do you know how it came about?The tea bag was invented in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller. He was sending out free tea in silk (丝绸) bags for people to try. People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added hot water. The tea tasted good, and people thought it was easy to clean the cup. They were not happy when Sullivan started sending them loose (散的) tea again.Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands, and he built a machine to pack the bags. As tea bags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze (薄纱) and later paper. In 1952, Lipton Tea made the tea bag even more popular with its invention of the four-sided tea bag. Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK, and today 85% of the tea in the UK is packed in paper bags.However, many people still prefer loose-leaf tea. This is because some tea companies put not very good tea in their tea bags. But for most drinkers, tea bags are still the easy, tasty way to go.46. Who invented the tea bag?A. An English tea seller.
