　　Ⅰ.閱讀理解(共兩節)

　　第一節　閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C、D)中，選出最佳選項。

　　Students in American schools learn from an early age to give presentations (演講) as part of their regular classroom activities.Children as young as five years old often give brief talks about objects they bring in to school—called “show and tell，” and this training is a basis for later public speaking.Even so，many native English-speaking adults are afraid to speak or give presentations in front of a large group.

　　Speaking English in public meetings is necessary for many students and employees.The best way to improve is to practice public speaking in a friendly environment.Learners need to receive feedback about what they are doing well and about their mistakes.One group that gives members the chance to practice is Toastmasters.Toastmasters is an international organization that holds weekly meetings.At the meetings，members each give a speech and give others advice about their speeches and speaking style.

　　Charles LeBeau is a public speaking professor and consultant.He began his career in Japan in 1982.Currently，he teaches at two universities and at the Toshiba International Training Center.He has also written books on the subject.

　　初中學習網English language learners around the world use his book Speaking of Speech.Speaking of Speech tells about a method of teaching public speaking for non-native speakers.Mr.LeBeau says a simple approach helps English learners.

　　“The approach that I’ve taken is to simplify and break it down.First if we look at a presentation，what’s going on，there are basically three messages that the presenter is giving the audience，all simultaneously (同時)．There’s what I call the physical message.Physical message is basically body language.It’s the way that my body，as a speaker，is talking to the audience.And then there’s also the visual message.The visual messages are the slides that we now make and show the audience.The third message is the story message.The story message is the content of our presentation.So another way we can think of the story messages is that it’s the verbal message，and it’s what we say to the audience.The story message also includes how we organize our ideas to present to the audience，” LeBeau said.

　　【解題導語】　本文是一篇說明文。在美國，學生從很小的時候開始，演講就成為了他們日常班級活動的一部分，五歲的孩子就能夠在班級里簡短地介紹一些他們帶來的日常東西，這種訓練也成為了日后公共演講的基礎。即使如此，很多當地以英語為母語的人還是害怕在公眾場合做大型演講。

　　【解題導語】　本文主要講述了一個發生在公共汽車上的小故事，說明人與人之間需要交流。有時候，哪怕是一句看似簡單的問好，也可以改變很多。

　　1．A.unwritten

　　B．strict

　　C．bus

　　D．city

　　解析：選A。考查形容詞。unwritten“不成文的”；strict“嚴格的”；bus“公共汽車”；city“城市”。根據上下文可知，這輛車上的乘客從不互相打招呼，彼此間很冷淡。但這并不是什么規則，故選擇A。句意：這是一條不成文的規則，每個人都認為是理所當然的。

　　2．A.As

　　B．Because

　　C．Although

　　D．When

　　解析：選C。考查連詞。as“因為，正如等”；because“因為”；although“雖然”；when“當……時”。這一分句意：我們每天都看見相同的面孔；下一分句意：我們情愿躲在報紙后。兩者之間存在轉折關系。故選擇C，表示雖然見面，卻不交流。

　　3．A.read

　　B．hide

　　C．talk

　　D．sit

　　解析：選B。考查動詞。read“讀”；hide“躲藏”；talk“談話”；sit“坐”。此題需要注意其后的behind，故選項A是錯的；再根據下文意思，指彼此間不交流。故選擇B，表示我們情愿躲藏在我們的報紙后面。

　　4．A.ways

　　C．respect

　　D．distance

　　解析：選D。考查名詞。way“方法，道路”；method“方法”； respect“尊重”；distance“距離”。根據上文可知，人們都躲在報紙后，那么說明這些人是用報紙來保持彼此間的距離。故選擇D。

　　D．tears

　　解析：選C。考查副詞。driver“司機”；passenger“乘客”；paper“報紙”；tear“眼淚”。根據上一句Put your papers down.All of you.可知，司機要求他們把報紙放下。故選擇C，屬于原詞重現。
