Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking. However, the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be. Do you want to be a good public speaker Here are some principles you must master.
【思维模式】一些人…但是，另外一些人…你…？
People want to listen to someone who is interesting, relaxed and comfortable. Too often, when you stand up to give a speech, you focus on the “public” at the expense of the “speaking.” Do the opposite. Focus on the speaking. Talk directly to your audience, be yourself and make a connection.
【思维模式】人们…，你也经常…。但是，你应当…
练的策略：2020 新全国I 七选五
Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes. Yet, the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking. People's attention wanders constantly. In fact, most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker’s message. So, don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it's a truly serious one. You don't need to apologize for a minor slip.
【思维模式】甚至连最成功的人都…，然而…。事实上，大多数人都不…。所以， 你不应当…。
Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker. You want to be an effective public speaker. And like everything else in life, that takes practice. Remember, even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.
【思维模式】既然你的目标是…，你应当…。因为甚至连最成功的人都…（你不能

[5] When it comes to public speaking, less is usually more. It’s rare to hear someone say, “I wish that speaker had spoken longer.” On the other hand, you probably can’t count the times that you’ve thought,” I’m glad that talk is over. It seemed to go on forever!'' So surprise your audience. Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated. It’s better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.

How to Remember What You Read
Reading is important. But the next step is making sure that you remember what you've read! __31__you may have just read the text. But the ideas, concepts and images（形象）may fly right out of your head. Here are a few tricks for remembering what you read.
● 32
If the plot, characters, or word usage is confusing for you, you likely won't be able to remember what you read. It's a bit like reading a foreign language. If you don't understand what you're reading, how would you remember it But there are a few things you can do... Use a dictionary; look up the difficult words.
● Are you connected
Does a character remind you of a friend Does the setting make you want to visit the place Does the book inspire you, and make you want to read more With some books, you may feel a connection right away. 33 How willing are you to make the connections happen
● Read it; hear it; be it!
Read the lines. Then, speak them out loud. And, put some character into the words. When he was writing his novels, Charles Dickens would act out the parts of the characters. He'd make faces in the mirror, and change his voice for each character. 34
● How often do you read
If you read frequently, you'll likely have an easier time with remembering what you’re reading and what you've read. 35 As you make reading a regular part of your life, you'll make more connections, stay more focused and understand the text better. You’ll learn to enjoy literature- as you remember what you read! 【2017年11月浙江】
Let’s take a minute to think about the water we use. The human body is 60% water and we need to drink lots of water to be healthy. When we are thirsty we just go to the kitchen and fill a glass with clean water.
31 For example, farmers, who produce the food we eat, use water to make the plants grow. When we turn on a light or switch on a TV or a computer we use energy and we need water to produce this energy.
The truth is that we are lucky enough to have clean water whenever we want, but this is not the case for many people around the world. …
34 On this day every year, countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water and that clean water is something that everyone should have around the world. At one school in the UK, children between the ages of 10 and 15 walk 6km with six litres of water. 35 People give them money to do this and all the money helps get clean water to as many people as possible around the world. 【2020年1月浙江】
A. We use water indirectly too.
B. Every system in our body depends on water to function.
C. It is to inspire people to learn more about water-related problems.
D. If children walk many hours a day to get water, they can’t go to school.
E. Did you know that around 750 million people do not have clean water to drink
F. In 1993 the United Nations decided that March 22nd is the World Day for Water.
G. In this way, they know how it feels to walk a long distance carrying heavy bottles.

● 34 Each interview that you get on the street shouldn’t be longer than ten minutes. As soon as you get the answer you need, move on to the next person. Make sure that as you go from interview to interview, you are getting a variety of answers. If everyone is giving you the same answer, you won’t be able to use it. A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten. 35

33 They were not sure how the Americans would react to the new type of music. Beatlemania hit New York on February 7, 1964. Hundreds of fans jammed the airport to greet them. 34 The concert was broadcast live and attracted the largest one night audience in the history of television up to that time. The Beatles were described as a British invasion（入侵）by local and nationwide newspapers at that time. Their victory in America was still remembered as a major turning point in the history of rock and roll. Thanks to the Beatles, a lot of opportunities were opened up to new faces on the market. 35 【2019年6月浙江 Para 3】

Learn how to deal with people now, because when you’re an adult, you don’t get to choose your boss or your co-workers, so learn how to respect them now. 【2016年10月浙江 Para 4】

● When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story, think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it. For example, if your topic is about environmental problems in America, you might ask, “Why do you think environmental protection is important in America ” 32

No high school exchange student chooses the small town Midwest over California or New
York City, but Ole has enjoyed and learned to the point that I don’t think he regrets it anyway. It
has been a good adventure for us and I think for him too.
Ole’s stay was inspiring, entertaining, and fun. We enjoyed his time here and have learned
almost as much as he has, I’m sure. He is a very well-rounded kid with many experiences, a very
good understanding of America, and speaks English very well. Many of the things he initially was
amazed by, he, and we, now take for granted. It has been fun watching him experience a lot of
these.
He got to experience playing soccer for his school. We went to many games and he was
fortunate enough to have a coach and team that was kind enough to a new kid and gave him much
playing time. Since they have had no school sports before, the whole concept of having your
classmates cheer for you at regionals and fans watching the games, let alone having it on TV, was
a huge thing for him. The team also gave him a bunch of immediate friends and acquaintances. He
liked being able to go to the high school basketball and football games too. He also got to go
several of the school dances, a thing they don’t do in his hometown.
We do feel fortunate to have had a kid who made an effort to get out and meet people, ask for
rides, but was careful about who he hung out with. Our 3 kids did not meet any high school
exchange students that were as well known in the school or as well liked and accepted as Ole had
been.
We do expect that this hosting experience is the start of a life-long relationship.
24. What does the underlined word “We” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. High school students. B. Exchange students.
C. The host family. D. Team coaches.
25. What was a brand new experience for Ole
A. Attending school dances. B. Competing in games.
C. Hanging out with friends. D. Watching live streaming.
26. What does the author think about Ole’s stay
A. It is adventurous. B. It is a win-win experience.
C. It erases misunderstandings. D. It contains both fun and regret.
27. What is the purpose of this text
A. To express appreciation. B. To compare different cultures.
C. To advertise a good service. D. To share a unique experience.
C
For anyone connected with a school, the last couple of weeks should have been a pile-up of
plays, choir performances, and talent shows. But a report found, alarmingly, that 53% of primaries
and 63% of secondaries that normally hold a festive concert at the end of the first term did not do
so.
It is deeply troubling that music is no longer being taught to 11- to-14-year-olds in more than
half of state secondaries. And some children get as little as one day of music lesson a year. If this
situation is allowed to continue, music-making will become the preserve of those who can afford it.
And the intense competition for better academic performance has only sped up this trend. A
survey published this month of more than 1,300 music teachers found that a third of British
primary schools are not singing, while a quarter have ceased instrumental lessons. Almost
three-quarters of primary and two-thirds of secondary schools have cancelled extracurricular
music. Though a sharp decline of music provision is due to various social factors, Ofsted（英国教
育标准局） appeared to put this down to schools themselves, rather than pointing the finger at the
government’s silence to educators’ appeal.
This is very sad and shortsighted. On the most basic level, music aids academic achievement.
Research suggests that music-making improves speech and literacy. But academic progress is too
narrow a standard of success. In her book, Joan Koenig argues that music is fundamental to a
well-functioning society. Besides that, music-making nurtures sympathy and belonging. “People
stand a much better chance of finding meaning and happiness in their lives if they feel that they
belong,” as Koenig puts it. “Studies show that group musical practice can create and enhance this
feeling. It is when people don’t have a sense of belonging that things go wrong.”
In this time of uncertainty and fear, ensuring that all children can access music-making is a
cause deserving meaningful support and attention from ministers.
28. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. Educators are appealing for investment.
B. Schools merely value academic achievements.
C. Music lessons are nearly absent from classrooms.
D. Parents cannot afford students’ music lessons.
29. According to Ofsted, who is to blame for the affected music provision
A. The schools. B. The educators. C. The government. D. The researchers.
30. What does the underlined word “nurtures” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Promotes. B. Deserves. C. Symbolizes. D. Worsens.
31. What does the author mainly convey in the last paragraph
A. Music education is optional. B. Music education calls for backup.
C. Music-making is tough. D. Music-making makes sense.
D
Research has previously shown that years lived alone can have harmful effects on a person’s
health, and a new study published Monday shows that at least one of those impacts may be
particularly bad for men.
The study looked at blood samples of 4,835 participants from the Copenhagen Aging and
Midlife Biobank to examine levels of inflammation (炎 症 ). “We have found a significant
association between partnership breakups or years lived alone and inflammation for men only,
after adjustment for selected confounders (干扰因素 ),” said Dr. Karolina Davidsen, research
associate in the Department of Public Health at University of Copenhagen and publishing author
of the study. “In women, we find no such effect.” The study, published in the journal BMJ, looked
at both years lived alone and numbers of breakups because the end of significant relationships are
often followed by years lived alone, the researchers wrote.
“This study strengthens the link experts have seen between the nervous system and
inflammation, which is a significant contributor to heart disease”, said Dr. Peter Libby, a
cardiovascular (心血管的 ) medicine specialist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, who was not
involved in the study, “There is increasing understanding of fundamental links between
psychological stress and physical health related to inflammation,” Libby said.
Dr. Davidsen said that while women didn’t report this finding, one reason for this could be
the fact that there were fewer women in the study than men.
The levels of inflammation in the participants might also have looked different if they were
measured at more advanced ages, Davidsen added. The average age of those studied was 54.5
years old, and it is possible that the impacts of the breakups and years lived alone would have
continued as the participants aged, she said.
32. What element is looked at in the study
A. Blood types. B. Social status. C. Cultural background. D. Periods of living alone.
33. Why do women show no significant effects according to Davidsen
A. Women handle loneliness better. B. Fewer women are surveyed.
C. Women differ from men physically. D. Women care more about themselves.
34. What can we learn from the study
A. The researchers involved are male.
B. The result has caused lots of arguments.
C. The impacts will continue as people age.
D. The impacts decline when people grow old.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Living alone: a cause of inflammation
B. Living alone: a great threat to men’s health
C. Inflammation: a contributor to heart disease
D. Inflammation: a factor in health improvement

Throughout my life, there is one teacher who really impresses me. 36 .
My time in 8th grade felt like forever because you just want to be in high school already.
Math you just wanted to sleep, science you wanted to cry, social studies you would wish for it to
be over, but English class would just make up for the whole day. Mrs. Thomas would actually
make me want to stay awake in her class. It was like she actually understood us and knew how to
keep our full attention. Every day I couldn’t wait to go to her class. 37 . You could talk to
her like she was your friend and not your boss.
38 . Like in the beginning of the year she made us take pictures of ourselves and write
goals of what you wanted for the school year. Every day, when you would come into class, you
would look at your goals and see if you achieve any; it was pretty smart. I remember she also
made us write a letter to ourselves in the beginning of the year. We opened them at the end of the
year to see how much we changed. It was like she was trying to push us to be able to complete
those goals, so that later on in life we can use that ability again. 39 . If you wanted an A,
you had to work for that A.
Mrs. Thomas not only got us ready for high school but also really prepared me for life in the
future. 40 .

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Shoveling (铲) the snow had always been the best part about winter. Not that I thought it was
fun, but my dad’s reaction to a clean driveway kept me going. He hated shoveling snow more than
anything. So, I took it upon myself at eight years old to do it for him. Every time I saw snow fall
from the sky, I knew the universe was ready to put me to work.
I would run and put on my jacket, snow boots to prepare myself for the work ahead. But
every single time, before I went outside, I would stop by my older sister’s room to see if she
wanted to help me. I knew she would say no, but I always asked anyway.
One day there was a lot of snow, and there was no way I would be able to clean it all up
myself. It was getting dark, and I hated the thought of my dad having to shovel the snow after a
long day of work. So I did the routine and knocked on my sister’s door. As I expected, she gave
me the same old “no”. Annoyed, I asked again. Without saying anything further, she got up,
pushed me out of the room and slammed (碰地关上) the door in my face.
I stood there silently for a second. Then, I turned around, went out of the house, and set out in
the cold to tackle the enemy that lay in my driveway. But I couldn’t calm down. I was really angry
that she would leave me to battle this alone. All I wanted was some help. The more I remembered
every “no” she had ever said to me, the angrier I became.
I fought tirelessly, my short arms swinging from side to side while the wind cut against my
cheeks. After one long hour, I was not even halfway done. Looking at the victorious snow and
thinking of Dad’s disappointment.

New Era, New Students
Admittedly, we generations are in a new era when the world is undergoing major changes
unseen in a century. With great changes come new challenges and responsibilities. To better
coping with these, we yet need to sweep away all the uncivilized phenomena in our school first.
Unaware of its value, some students take it for granted to waste food. Besides, in the library,
certain students speak or talk aloud, disturbing and annoying others. Little as the matters seem to
be, we cannot afford to overlook the serious consequences they will bring. So I suggest that the
school post more noticeable slogans and make relevant rules to help students rid of those
uncivilized behaviours.
As students in the new era, I sincerely hope that we can become a better us to make
contributions to the society.
第二节
Feeling bitter and desperate, I couldn’t stop my tears. My inner anger was like a growing
monster, uncontrollably driving me to the edge of madness. Before I realized it, I was sobbing in
my sister’s room, with bullets of words firing through my mouth, expressing my long-buried
dissatisfaction towards her absence from my snow shoveling experiences. The house seemed to be
holding its breath when I stopped my accusation, still weeping. “Please don’t cry. Every teardrop
of yours is a reminder of how selfish I was. I’m sorry. Would you give me another chance to go
shoveling with you ”, said my sister with gentleness and sincerity in her voice.
My sister and I went out. More than half of the driveway was still blanketed in white but I
wasn’t alone in this battle any more. Every shovel of snow was a witness to the energy and
excitement in me. By the time we finished, my back was aching, muscles sore, and body
exhausted. However, deep inside me was a brother, who was so overcome with happiness that he
felt on top of the world. That was the beauty of companionship. And from the bright smile
blooming on my sister’s face, I could tell that she felt the same. Arm in arm, we walked inside as
darkness fell, waiting for father to come home.
