Institute on Drug Abuse(NIDA,1999) shows that around 2% of the population over age 12 were using drugs nonmedically.2.NIDA views medications as a powerful force for good in the contemporary world.They reduce and remove pain for millions of people suffering from illness and disease.They make it possible for doctors to perform complicated surgery to save lives.Many people afflicted by serious medical conditions are able to control their symptoms and become active，contributing citizens.NIDA points out that most individuals who take these drugs use them in a responsible manner.3.Nevertheless，overuse of drugs such as opioids，central nervous system(CNS) depressants and stimulants does lead to harmful reliance in some people and is therefore becoming a serious public health concern.Although this abuse affects many people worldwide，particular trends of concern to the medical profession in the US appear among older adults，teenagers and women.4.Though it may be a surprise to many，the misuse of medications may be the most common form of drug abuse among the elderly.Dr Kenneth Schmader of Duke University，North Carolina states that although the elderly represent about 13% of the US population，those aged 65 and over account for the consumption of one third of all drugs.People in this age group use medications roughly three times more than the general population and have poorer compliance with instruction for use.In another study of elderly patients admitted to treatment programs,70% were women who had overused medicines.5.Unfortunately，this trend among women does not only affect those aged over 65.In general，among women and men who are using either an antianxiety drug or a sedative，women are twice as likely to become addicted.In addition，statistics compiled for 1217 year olds show that teenage girls are more likely than teenage boys to begin overusing psychotherapeutic medication such as painkillers，tranquillisers，stimulants and sedatives.【语篇解读】

wellorganisedBClose with a Q& ACDont be contradictory DBring it to a specific endESpeak slowly and pause FDrop unnecessary wordsSpeaking to a group can be difficult，but listening to a bad speech is truly a tiresome taskespecially when the speaker is confusing.Dont want to confuse your audience？Follow these suggestions：1.When it comes to understanding new information，the human brain needs a little time.First，we hear the words；then，we compare the new information to what we already know.If the two are different，we need to pause and think.But a breathless speaker never stops to let us think about what he or she is saying and risks confusing us.Slow it down.And breathe.2.Sometimes we all start a sentence one way and then switch directions，which is very difficult to follow.When you confuse your listeners with opposing information，you leave the audience wondering what part of the information is right and what part they should remember.Instead of relying on keeping correcting yourself，work to get the facts clear and straight.3.Jumping from point to point as it comes to your mind puts the onus(责任) on your listeners to make up for your lack of organisation.And its confusing for them to listen，reorganise，and figure out what youre saying all at once.But going smoothly from one point to the next helps them understand information more easily.You can arrange things from beginning to end，small to large，top to bottom or by some other order.Just be sure to organise.4.Repeated use of um，ah，like，you know and some other useless noises can drive an audience crazy.It makes the speaker sound uncertain and unprepared，and it can leave listeners so annoyed that they cant pay attention.Recently I attended a speech that was marked by so many ums that audience members were rolling their eyes.Was anybody grasping the intended message？Um，probably not.5.Many speakers finish up their speeches with questionandanswer (Q & A) sessions，but some let the Q & A go on without a clear end.The audience is often left confused about whether the meeting is over and when they can get up and leave.Do your listeners a favour by setting a time limit on questions，and close your speech with a specific signaleven if its something simple like，“If you have any more questions，you know where to reach me.”Or even more to the point，conclude your speech with“Thanks for your time.”【语篇解读】 本文是一篇建议性文章。就演讲向读者提出中肯的建议。1E作者以听众需要时间理解信息为由，建议演讲时语速要适当慢些，要有停顿。关键词是 pause，slow。2C本段内容建议演讲者言辞不要前后矛盾，opposing information 是关键词。3A演讲要点没有条理会使听众困惑不解，而要点有条理的演讲会使听众更容易理解。因此要组织好演讲稿。“Just be sure to organise.”是关键信息句。4F作者以自身感受说明，um，ah，like以及 you know等无意义的词使听众很恼火以至于不能集中注意力，所以演讲切忌使用无用语言。5D本段以若没有明确的结束语听众不知何时该起身离开为由，建议演讲要有明确的结束语。“.close your speech with a specific signal.”是关键信息句。.根据短文内容，从下框的AF选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。1.As awareness of the benefits of humour increases，most of us want to get all the laughs we can.It seems that almost every day there is another new discovery about the power of humour to help us physically，mentally，emotionally，and spiritually.Every system of the body responds to laughter in some important or positive way.2.Many people mistakenly believe that we are born with a sense of humour.They think that when it comes to a sense of humour，“either youve got it or you dont.”This is false！What is true，however，is that the ability to laugh and smile is actually something we are born with.For example，we laugh when we are tickled under the arm，even without thinking about how to react.3.The parts of the brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling are mature at birth in human infants，but that is not the same thing as having a sense of humour.(After all，when a baby laughs in his small bed we dont rush over and say，“That kid has a great sense of humour！”) Your sense of humour is something you can develop over a lifetime.Dont be nervous before others and try to laugh at yourselfthen you will make them laugh too.4.Humour includes a lot more than laughing and joke telling.Many people worry needlessly that they do not have a good sense of humour because they are not good joke tellers.More than jokes，a sense of humour requires being willing and able to see the funny side of lifes situations as they happen.In fact，one of the best definitions(定义) of a sense of humour is “the ability to see the nonserious element in a situation”5.There may be a thousand different ways to express your sense of humour，but joke telling is only one of those ways.As more is discovered about how humour benefits our life，more people will be able to see and enjoy the humour when they are in a difficult situation.Life depends on air，food and water，but it is made easier to live with a good sense of humour.【语篇解读】 幽默使我们的生活轻松美好，但幽默感不是天生就具备的，它来源于生活，让我们从身心、精神及情感上享受生活的美好。1C根据文中“.about the power of humour to help us physically，mentally，emotionally，and spiritually”可知，C项正确。2A根据文中“Many people mistakenly believe that we

telling.”可知，D项正确。5F本段先讲幽默感可用不同的方式来表达，但根据“.but it is made easier to live with a good sense of humour”可知，F项正确。.根据短文内容，从下框的AF选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。Gift Giving1.There are many occasions(场合) for giving gifts in modern industrialized societies：birthdays，naming ceremonies，weddings，anniversaries，New Year.It is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations in western cultures.In addition，special events，such as ones first day of school or graduation from university，often require gift giving.2.What is happening when we give gifts？Most important，we are exchanging gifts.If someone gives me a gift for my birthday.I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday.A gift builds up or confirms a social obligation(义务)3.Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones.People say that a gift lets the recipient(接受者) know we are thinking of them，and that we want to make the person“feel special.”We want people to feel wanted，to feel part of our social or family group.We give presents to say “Im sorry.”Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present that someone will like.Sometimes we give things that we like or would feel comfortable with.In all these cases，the gifts are sending out messagesoften very expressive ones.4.People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way.A woman whose mother had died years ago described the many gifts around her house.These were gifts that her mother had given her over the years：“I appreciate these，and they mean something to me，”the woman said，“because I remember the occasions they were gi
