This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech. So, you have to give a speech- and youre terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank goodness, its over. Im just no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again. ” Cheer up! It doesnt have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they will help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Dont talk over their heads, and dont talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness. Just remember: be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to -person contact with your audience. If you follow these simple steps, youll see that you dont have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! Youre not convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens. 46. The main idea of this article is _. A. you can improve your speaking ability B. a poor speaker can never change C. always make a short speech D. it is hard to make a speech 47. Paragraph 2 implies that _. A. many people are afraid of giving a speech B. many people are happy to give a speech C. many people do not prepare for a speech D. many people talk too long 48. The phrase “talk over their heads” means _. A. speak too loudly B. look at the ceiling C. look down upon them D. use words and ideas that are too difficult 49. All of the following statements are true except that _. A. few people know how to make good speeches B. a lecturer does not need to organize his speech C. research is important in preparing a speech D. there are simple steps you can take to improve your speaking ability 50. The title for this passage may be _. A. Do Not Make a Long Speech B. How to Give a Good Speech C. How to Prepare for a Speech D. Try to Enjoy a Speech BSolar energy for your home is coming. It can help you as a single home owner. It can help the whole country as well. Whether or not solar energy can save your money depends on many things. Where you live is one factor and the type of home you have is another. Things like insulation (绝缘材料), present energy costs, and the type of system you buy are added factors. Using solar energy can help save our precious fuel. As you know, our supplies of oil and gas are very limited. There is just not enough on hand to meet all our future energy needs. Sooner or later Mother Nature will say thats all. The only way we can delay hearing those words is by starting to save energy now and by using other sources, like the sun. We wont have to worry about the suns running out of energy for another several billion years or so. Besides, the sun doesnt offer as many problems as other energy sources. For example, fossil fuel(矿物燃料) adds to already high pollution levels. With solar energy, we will still need sources of energy, but we wont need as much. That means we can cut down on our pollution problems.With all these good points, why dont we use more solar power? There are many reasons for this. The biggest reason is money. Until now, it was just not practical for a home owner to put in a solar unit. There were cheaper sources of energy. All that is changing now. Solar costs are starting to equal the costs of oil and electricity. Experts say that gas, oil and electricity prices will continue to rise. The demand for electricity is increasing rapidly. But new power plants will use more gas, oil or coal. Already in some places the supply of electricity is being rationed (限量供应). Solar energy is now in its infancy (初期). It could soon grow to become a major part of our nations energy supply.51. Whats this passage mainly about? A. Something about solar energy and pollution. B. Solar energy. C. Energy and pollution. D. Energy and money.52. Solar energy can help us _.xk b1.co m A. escape punishment from nature B. become home owners C. get rid of present energy D. save our precious fuel53. The sun is an endless source of energy, and it will not run out of energy for _. A. several million years B. several hundred years C. several billion years D. several thousand years 54. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Energy from coal would not pollute our living environment. B. Energy from natural gas would not pollute our living environment. C. Energy from the sun would not pollute our living environment. D. Energy from oil would not pollute our living environment.55. Solar energy is now in its infancy, _. A. but in the future it will become an important part of our nations energy supply B. so we will build more power plants C. and the supply of electricity will be rationed throughout the country D. so we dont need it CSome people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together, they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: international competitions encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred（憎恨）. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident including the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by incidents caused mainly by smaller national contests. One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey(曲棍球) final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were sure that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents victory was unfair. Their manager was in great anger when he said, “This wasnt hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension（停赛） of the team for at least three years.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much thatencourages aggressive patriotism(爱国主义).56. According to the author, recently the Olympic Games have _. A. created goodwill between the nations B. brought about only false national pride C. hardly showed any international friendship D. put an end to misunderstanding and hatred57. The underlined word “disallowed”(in Paragraph 2) means “_”. A. permitted to pass B. considered as reasonable C. won by the other side D. refused to accept58. What did the manager mean by saying, “Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished”? A. His team would no longer take part in international games. B. Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions. C. There should be no more Hockey matches organized by the Federation. D. The Federation should break up.59. The author gives the example in paragraph 2 to show _. A. how false national pride led to undesirable incidents in international games B. that sportsmen are often against the final decisions C. that competitiveness in the games discourages international friendship D. that unfair decisions are common in the Olympic Games60. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage? A. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved. B. Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games. C. A game should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game. D. More and more athletes will compete for their own honor.D Science is a major topic in our culture. Since it touches almost every field of our life, educated people need at least some knowledge with its structure and operation. They should also have an understanding of the scientific subculture in which scientists live and the kinds of people they are. An understanding of general characteristics of science as well as specific scientific ideas is easier to obtain if one knows something about the things that excite and discourage the scientist. This book is written for the person whose knowledge with science is not complete; for the person who has been presented with science as a musty（发霉的）storehouse of dried facts; for the person who sees the chief objective of science as the production of tricks; and for the person who views the scientists as some sort of magician. The book can be used to add to a course in any science, to come with any course that attempts to give an understanding of the modern world, or simply to provide a better understanding of science. We hope this book will lead readers to a broader view on scientific attitudes and a more realistic view of what science is, who scientists are, and what they do. It will give them an idea and understanding of the relationship between science and our culture and an appreciation of the roles science may play in our culture. Besides, readers may learn to appreciate the relationship between scientific views and some of the values and philosophies（哲学）that are deep in our culture. We have tried to present in this book a correct and up-to-date picture of the scientific world and the people who populate it. That population has in recent years come to include more and more women. This increasing role of women is not just the only event but, rather, part of the trend obvious in all parts of society, as more women enter traditionally male-controlled fields and make influential contributions. We have also tried to make the book entertaining as well as informative. Our method is usually informal. We feel, as do many other scientists, that we shouldnt take ourselves too seriously. As the reader may observe, we see science as a delightful pastime rather than as a cruel and unpleasant way to earn a living. 61. According to the passage, scientific subculture means _. A. scientific society B. technical groups C. complex situation D. knowledge system 62. We need to know something about science because _. A. scientists have specific scientific ideas B. science affects almost every field of our life C. it is easi
