It was set up in 1924 by Ralph Smedley and its headquartered in California. It has a double purpose: the personal growth and strong effective communication skills.Who is Toastmasters open to?Many people think Toastmasters is open only to those who wish to be professional speakers, but that is not true. Toastmasters is open to the public at large. Any person who wishes to improve his public speaking is welcome. And also, those who just want to increase their overall self-confidence are encouraged to attend.How can Toastmasters help you?Joining Toastmasters, a person will learn different methods of communicating what he really wants to say, and equally important, he will learn what the audience expects so he can send that message to them in an organized way. Some people are comfortable around friends, but when they appear before a group they dont know, they get nervous. The organization helps its members to get calm and organize thoughts, and express them in an effective way.Most often, people assume that when one is listening, he is also paying attention. This is not always true. Many times people are waiting for their turn to speak and are not really listening at all. Toastmasters can develop a person overall in organizing their thoughts, getting information from others and receiving effective feedback(反馈).How does Toastmasters train people?Toastmasters has a way of learning by doing. The Toastmasters International Organization provides a menu called the basic menu because it gives a guideline for the development of speeches. These speeches can meet different purposes. For example, one might need voice training; another might be to organize his thoughts or develop use of humor in speeches. There is an eight-week program for young people and also an eight-week speech course offered for adults. As a person continues to give speeches and improve, he progresses from the point of being fearful to stand before a group to the point where he can speak to any group of people with confidence.1. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Toastmasters was set up in 1924 by Ralph Smedley.B. Toastmasters is a club only for professional speakers.C. Toastmasters was originally set up to train speaking skills.D. Toastmasters is a local organization headquarter in California.2. Why in many cases people arent really listening at all?A. Because they are too nervous.B. Because they are organizing their thoughts.C. Because they are not interested in the talking.D. Because they are waiting for their turn to speak.3. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To offer some tips on giving speeches.B. To call on people to join Toastmasters.C. To give a general introduction to Toastmasters.D. To show the benefits of effective speaking skills.【答案】1. A 2. D 3. B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了演讲协会Toastmasters的宗旨、适用人群、培训内容以及培训方法等信息。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It was set up in 1924 by Ralph Smedley”可知，演讲会是由Ralph Smedley于1924年创立的，故A项正确。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Many times people are waiting for their turn to speak and are not really listening at all.”可知，很多时候，人只是在等着轮到他们发言而根本没有认真听演讲，故D项正确。【3题详解】文章意图题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了演讲协会Toastmasters的宗旨、适用人群、培训内容以及培训方法，因此推断目的是号召人们加入来提高自己的沟通技巧，故B项正确。【点睛】文章意图题的难度较大，例如本篇第3题，抓住说明文的文体特点是关键，一般介绍一个组织或课程的说明文的目的就是吸引人们加入其中，通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了演讲协会Toastmasters的宗旨、适用人群、培训内容以及培训方法，因此推断目的是号召人们加入来提高自己的沟通技巧，而不是提高演讲技巧或是展示有效的演讲技巧的好处。故选B项正确。BCan you imagine being paid millions for playing in a sports team? That you were able to fill stadiums with people coming to see you play? That you could attract fans crazily like a superstar? ESports have made all that possible and more. The fever for video games has had a great influence on the sports industry.To what degree ESports, or electronic sports can be considered a sport remains a question. If we stick to the meaning in the dictionary, sport is understood to be any physical activity, whether a game or competition, that requires training and following rules. A second meaning is: all kinds of physical activities are done for health or for fun.Spending hours and hours in front of a computer or with a mobile phone in hand playing video games is not a physical activity. But when the voices that defend it belong to famous athletes, and when the International Olympic Committee itself is, seriously thinking about the possibility of introducing eSports in the 2020 Olympic Games, it is at least worth considering the argument.It is clear that eSports has had a big influence on the sports industry and its fans are increasing all the time. Athletes, sports teams, sponsors(赞助商) inside and outside the sport, and the media support the industry greatly, which attracts and satisfies the young generation. Professional video game competitions have made nearly $900 million over the past three years thanks to sponsorship and advertising. The industry is expected to make over $1.1 billion and reach 215 million users in 2019, according to a study by the consultant Newzoo.The big players in the eSports leagues have turned their hobby into a profession which offers a chance to gain fame or become famous. Those guys who distance themselves from the world, shutting themselves up for up to 12 hours a day in a dark room to connect with people from all over the planet through a video game, now fill large stadiums and compete for prizes that are over one million dollars. They are the envy of half the planet!As a famous NBA superstar, Shaquille ONeal says “the fans themselves are the ones who opened my eyes. ESports are a great business chance and the industry cannot be left out.”While millions of dollars are paid around the world for these new idols, we can continue to argue whether they are sports or not. If only for fun4. Which is right according to the passage?A. ESports attract all people for the prizes.B. ESports have no clear effect on business.C. ESports have little influence on the sports industry.D. ESports are different from the sports people traditionally consider.5. Why do the big players in the eSports become the envy of half the planet?A. They shut themselves up for up to 12 hours a day, playing video games.B. They have turned their hobby into a profession, earning fame and wealth.C. They can connect with people from all over the planet through a video game.D. They have got support from famous athletes and the International Olympic Committee.6. Whats the best title of the passage?A. Esports: a way to wealthB. Esports: sport or businessC. Esports: a meaningful sportD. Esports: a great opportunity【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，主要讨论了新兴的电子竞技到底是商业还是体育的问题。【4题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“To what degree ESports, or electronic sports can be considered a sport remains a question. If we stick to the meaning in the dictionary, sport is understood to be any physical activity, whether a game or competition, that requires training and following rules. A second meaning is: all kinds of physical activities are done for health or for fun.”可知，电子竞技在多大程度上被视为一种体育是有争议的，如果按字典的意思理解，体育是任何需要训练和遵守规则的体力活动，从这个角度理解，电竞不算是体育运动，但还有另一种解释：体育是所有为了健康和娱乐的活动，从这个角度讲，电竞是体育运动，由此可知，电子竞技是有别于人们传统观点中的体育运动，故D项正确。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The big players in the eSports leagues have turned their hobby into a profession which offers a chance to gain fame or become famous.”可知，电子竞技领域的大玩家把爱好变成了职业，它提供了一个获得名声或成名的机会，这让他们成了半个世界上的人所羡慕的对象，故B项正确。【6题详解】标题判断题。通读全文，特别是根据倒数第二段中的“ESports are a great business chance and the industry cannot be left out.”及最后一段中的“we can continue to argue whether they are sports or not.”可知，本文主要介绍了新兴的电子竞技到底是商业还是体育，故B项正确。【点睛】文章标题类的主旨题难度在于需要短短几个词概括出文章内容，因此抓住文章的关键词是关键，例如本篇第3题，文章开篇就介绍了电子竞技有别于人们传统观点中的体育运动，而且它给体育产业和电子竞技领域的大玩家带来了巨大的经济利益，最后一段又说电子竞技带来了巨大的商机，全文都是围绕体育运动和商机这两个方面展开的，因此标题中一定要体现出这两方面内容，故B项Esports: sport or business最能概括出文章内容。C“Why do I live? Why do I wish for anything, or do anything? Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed by my death?”These are the words of the famous Russian writer Leo Tolstoy. Like Tolstoy, many people ask these difficult questions. And they struggle to find meaning in their life. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer difficult questions like these. His search for answers influenced his writing.On August 28th, 1828, Leo Tolstoy was born in the country of Russia.As a child, Tolstoy was a member of the Russian Catholic Church. But as a young man, he began to question that faith. Tolstoy wanted to make his own moral decisions; he was tired of being told what to believe. He thought people could achieve a degree of perfection if they tried hard enough. So he worked very hard at being the best in everything he did. He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success.In the 1850s, Leo Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He wrote about his experiences in the army. He also told stories about when he was a child. These works were published and Tolstoy became a well-known writer.Tolstoy was finally successful. He earned the respect he always wanted. Many wealthy and intelligent men met and talked with Tolstoy. Some of the men were writers like him. They talked a lot about faith and the meaning of life. But soon Tolstoy recognized that these men were not perfect. Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith.So in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find meaning. He opened a school for the children of his serfs the people who worked on his land. These workers were very poor. He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the wealthy people he knew.Tolstoy learned many things from his workers. He respected how they worked hard to provide for their families. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning. So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs.The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoys life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books -War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Many literature experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written.Both War and Peace and Anna Karenina communicate Tolstoys beliefs about the Russian nation, church and people. They also communicate what he thought was the answer to all his questions. Tolstoy believed humans were supposed to live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would satisfy him and bring him happiness.Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today. His faith and writings have influenced many people. Tolstoys search for the meaning of life is something everyone can understand. His teachings still interest people all over the world.7. Which shows the correct order of the following events?Tolstoy served in the armyTolstoy got marriedTolstoy wrote War and PeaceTolstoy started a schoolTolstoy became a well-known writerA. B. C. D. 8. What does the underlined phrase “provide for” in paragraph 8 mean?A. respectB. defendC. supportD. comfort9. According to the passage, which is the most important to Tolstoy?A. Success.B. Family.C. Wealth.D. Fame.10. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Leo Tolstoy: Living for writingB. Leo Tolstoy: Influencing the worldC. Leo Tolstoy：Being the best in everythingD. Leo Tolstoy： Searching for the meaning of life【答案】7. C 8. C 9. B 10. D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇人物传记。文章介绍了伟大的俄国作家托尔斯泰的生平，他一生都在寻找生命的意义。【7题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In the 1850s, Leo Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He wrote about his experiences in the army”可知，他在19世纪50年代写的书中提到了在部队的经历，也就是说他在19世纪50年代以前在部队服役过；根据第四段中的“These works were published and Tolstoy became a well-known writer.”可知，在19世纪50年代写的书出版以后，他成了一位众所周知的作家；根据第六段中的“So in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find meaning. He opened a school for the children of his serfs -the people who worked on his land.”可知，19世纪60年代，他为农奴的孩子开办了一所学校；根据第七段中的“So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs”可知，1862年，他与Sonya Behrs结婚了；根据第八段中的“The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoys life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books -War and Peace and Anna Karenina.”可知，婚后的15年里，他写了战争与和平和安娜卡列尼娜，故C项正确。【8题详解】词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“He respected how they worked hard to”以及画线部分后的宾语their families可知，他尊重工人们为养家而如何努力工作的，由此可知画线词词义为“支持、供养”，故C项正确。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Tolstoy believed humans were supposed to live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would satisfy him and bring him happiness.”可知，托尔斯泰认为人们应该过一种简朴的、顾家的生活，他认为这会让他满足和带来幸福。由此可知，他认为家庭最重要，故B项正确。【10题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第二段中的“And they struggle to find meaning in their life. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer difficult questions like these.”可知，本文主要介绍了伟大的俄国作家托尔斯泰的生平，他一生都在寻找生命的意义，故D项正确。【点睛】本文的主旨大意题难度较大，需要理解文章第一段的几个问句的作用，这几个问句旨在引出文章话题第二段中的“And they struggle to find meaning in their life. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer difficult questions like these.”（托尔斯泰一生都在寻找生命的意义），由此可知本文主要讲的是托尔斯泰一生都在寻找生命的意义而不是他的写作生涯或对世界的影响。三、七选五短文填空（满分10分，每题2分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Sometimes we fall in love with something at once and sometimes it takes time. _11_ If were lucky, we come across a poem that immediately attracts us.
