　　You most likely will be assigned to talk about a certain topic. If that's the case, you only need to make an outline and do some research. But in some cases, you will have to think of your own topic. Although it gives you more freedom to do it, thinking of a topic can be tricky. __2__ Or pick a topic that is timely and socially relevant.

　　2. Make an outline for the lecture.

　　Start by writing down the points that you will discuss, and then fill in each point with supporting ideas. If necessary, make a research about your topic. __3__ But if keeping doing so, you end up with a very long outline. Figure how you can shorten the topic or cut where cutting is needed.

　　3. __4__

　　Statistics, figures, medical information, historical accounts, and similar information should all be checked and it will save your credibility as an authority on the subject you are talking about.

　　4. Add humor.

　　Don't engage your audience in a dragging soliloquy (獨白). __5__ Humor will interest your audience. Of course, make sure the elements in your lecture are in line with your main topic and are not nonsense, racial, and offensive jokes.

　　答案與解析　

　　語篇解讀　本文是一篇議論文。如何準備一場演講？要確保演講有趣、充滿智慧，且觀眾可以從中獲得有價值的見解，所以好好準備演講很重要。

　　1．B　后面說“你必須確保演講有趣且充滿智慧，且觀眾從中可以獲得有價值的見解”，故B項“但是，演講是很有挑戰性的”符合語境。

　　2．E　空后說“或者選擇一個有時效性且與社會相關的話題”，再結合本段的小標題“Think of a good topic”可知，E項“說得簡單些，就是考慮什么樣的東西會吸引觀眾”符合語境。

　　3．G　空前說“必要時可以對你的話題做些研究”，G項“不要害怕探究這個話題，因為這會讓你發現其他需要討論的要點”與其意思一致。

　　4．A　空后說“統計資料、數據、醫療信息、歷史記錄，以及類似信息都應該被核查”，所以A項“核查你的演講(內容)的準確性”適合作為本段的小標題。

　　5．D　本段的中心為“增加幽默感”，再結合空前的內容“不要讓觀眾覺得你一個人在那里說”可知，D項“相反，在討論某些觀點時要讓觀眾微笑或大笑”符合語境。

Witnesses described __9__ Daly had little or no chance of stopping behind the still traffic and he turned to avoid the van __10__ hit a Mazda on the other side of the road.

　　答案與解析　

　　語篇解讀　一個24歲的男子因為超速撞車而害死了自己的女朋友，最終他被判處三年徒刑。

　　1．was sentenced　考查時態和語態。根據上下文可判斷出，此處應用一般過去時；又因主語Kevin Daly和sentence之間是動賓關系，故此處應填was sentenced。

　　2．his　考查形容詞性物主代詞。此處his作定語，相當于Kevin Daly's。

　　3．at　考查介詞。表示“以……的速度”應用介詞at。

　　4．when　考查時間狀語從句。when(當……時)在此引導時間狀語從句。從句謂語動詞為非延續性動詞。

　　7．nor　考查固定結構。neither...nor...意為“既不……也不……”，是固定結構。

　　8．to turn　考查wait的用法。wait to do(sth.)意為“等著去做某事”，是固定用法。

　　9．that　考查賓語從句。that在此引導賓語從句，不在從句中作成分，僅起連接作用。

　　10．but　考查連詞。并列連詞but在此處表示轉折關系。

　　One day, I was walking home after school when an old man fell heavy onto the snow-covered road. Many people passed by, and no one took an action. Some of them said it was none of their business; others worried that if they helped him, they might got into a difficult situation. Seeing what had happened, I called 120 immediately.

　　Dear_Sir/Madam，

　　I'm_Li_Hua,_one_of_the_students_who_attended_the_course_English_Film_Appreciation_last_term. I like it very much mainly for the following two reasons. First, in the class, we are exposed to different kinds of English films, which help us improve both our English listening and speaking skills. Another attractiveness is the amazing stories of the heroes, because they show us that a person can work hard to make a difference.

　　As a young student, I suggest that the teacher choose some more films that appeal to us teenagers, thus making the course more interesting. Besides, more activities should be included so that we can have more chances to practice our English.

　　I'd appreciate it if you could take my suggestions into consideration. I hope that the course will become more popular.
