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 and look at your audience. pause for a few seconds from time to time to give your audience chance 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.56“put yourself in their shoes as you prepare your speech.” means that while preparing your speech, you must _. a. put your shoes aside and put on theirs b. try their shoes to see if they fit you c. wear the shoes with the same size as theirsd. try to imagine yourself to be in their position57when he is giving his speech, the speaker is to _. a. let his eyes rest to the subject b. follow the audience step by stepc. face the audience in a natural wayd. look up and down from time to time58during the course of the speech it isnt right for a speaker to_.a. think nothing of the audienceb. speak in a loud voicec. take a short stop at timesd. refer to the notes once in a while59which title best gives the main idea of the passage?a. how to remember the audience?b. how to improve ones speech?c. how to prepare the material for a speech?d. how to pick out the topic for a speech?ba powerful earthquake struck the northeastern coast of japan at two forty-six p.m. local time on march eleventh.2011. japans meteorological agency released its first tsunami（海啸）warnings just three minutes later. the country has one of the best earthquake early warning systems in the world.there are more than four thousand seismic intensity meters in place throughout japan to measure earthquake activity. these meters provide information within two minutes of an earthquake happening. information about the strength and the center of the earthquake can be learned within three minutes.there are also concrete(混凝土) sea walls around much of the japanese coastline. but these measures proved no match for the powerful earthquake and tsunami.costas synolakis, a tsunami expert at the university of southern california in los angeles said，japan is one of those most well-prepared countries on earth in terms of tsunami warning. they had a warning. i think what went wrong is that they had not expected the size of this event.he says there are two reasons for this. japan has not had any event anywhere near as big as this one in the last one hundred fifty years. and scientists had not expected such a large earthquake happening off the coast of japan.the nine point zero magnitude earthquake was the fourth most powerful earthquake ever recorded worldwide. it was also the worst earthquake ever to hit japan. the tsunami waves that followed were reported to have reached as high as thirteen meters in some areas.costas synolakis says japans concrete sea walls were not built to handle such high waves.experts say early warning systems will continue to be limited by these facts until earthquakes and tsunamis can be predicted60where can this passage probably be adapted from?

a. the country has never experienced any event as big as this one over the past 150 yearsb. japan has the best earthquake early warning systems in the world.c. there are not concrete sea walls around all of the japanese coastlined. the government didnt announce its first tsunami warnings three minutes earlier.cthe los angeles zoo has many public programs that aim to teach the public about animals and natural protection.safari shuttle(旅游电车)：while youre here, take the safari shuttle for a quick trip from one end of the zoo to the other. all day long, seven days a week (from 10 am to 5 pm), the safari shuttle picks up passengers, circles the zoo, and returns to the main flamingo (火烈鸟) exhibit near the front entrance. you can get on and off the shuttle as often as you like.food：safari caf (at the zoo entrance) offers starbucks coffee, fresh-baked cookies, and ice cream. gorilla grill is the spot for grilled (烤的) food, kids meals, refreshments (点心), and ice cream. la casita serves a variety of mexican food and refreshments. silverbacks cafe offers sandwiches, salads, bread bowls, cold beer, and refreshments.hour：the zoo is open from 10 am to 5 pm every day of the year except christmas day. special summer long hours are until 6 pm from july 1 to september 7. please remember, the zoo starts putting animals in for the night at 4 pm during regular hour, and at 5 pm during summer hours.admission prices(票价)：adults (aged 13 and above):$9 seniors (aged 62 and above):$6 children (aged 2 to 12):$4 children (under 2): freeitems not allowed on zoo grounds：alcohol, glass bottles, pets, bicycles, skateboards, and in-line skate. if you are planning a picnic while visiting the zoo, please do not bring any glass items or other things that are easy to break. also for the safety of the animals, no plastic bags are allowed within the zoo.63. which of the following provides kids meals?a. safari cafe. b. gorilla grill. c. la casita. d. silverbacks caf64. people can see all the animals at the los angeles zoo at _.a. 11 am on christmas day b. 4:30 pm on may 5c. 3 pm on march 5 d. 6 pm on september 765. how much does it cost if a couple with their one-year-old twins visits the los angeles zoo?

what should our attitude to beggars be? there can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. it must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. it seems cruel not to give some money to beggars. certainly, most of the worlds great religions order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. but has the world changed? maybe what was morally （道德方面） right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. quite a few people will not give to beggars. let us look at their arguments. first, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil （恶行）. secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. one might be poor, but that is no reason for losing ones sense of pride and self-dependence. related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help. it is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. a few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.67. what is mainly discussed in the passage?a. moral deeds of people. b. religious activities of the church.c. moral goodness of the giver. d. arguments on giving to beggars.68. what can we infer from the sentence “but has the world changed?” in the second paragraph?a. people no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.b. some people will not do what was morally right in the past.c .we dont meet with those who need help any more.d. now it is the governments duty to help the beggars.69. which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?a. some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.b. some beggars want money to help their children go to school.c. some beggars use the money to buy drugs.d. some beggars have no excuse for begging.70. in the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion，because _.a .the cases can be so different b. there are so many beggarsc. there is so much money wast
