You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression—this was the theme of 2023 International Public Speaking Competition (IPSC),held in London.Thirty-three young speakers aged 16 to 20 from around the world gathered at the English Speaking Union to tell their stories,including Wu Dongxu,a student from China.To him,the event wasn’t just about giving a speech on first impressions.It also made a strong impression on him.
“Rather than a competition,the experience was more like an inspiring research trip to me,a trip that allowed me to see first-hand the differences and similarities between Chinese and foreign cultures,” said Wu.
Apart from the obvious differences in food,transportation and climate,what impressed Wu most was the different styles of Chinese and foreign public speaking.
Although still a teen,Wu is no stranger to the public speaking podium(讲台).He has participated in many speaking competitions since 2017.But on the stage of the IPSC,speakers had no podium to stand behind.They just had to face the audience.
“This was the first time that I gave a speech without a podium,which made me realise how important eye contact and body language are,” said Wu.“It also gave me more freedom to convey more information with my body language instead of just with words.”
Another difference that caught Wu’s attention was the evaluation criteria(评价标准).According to him,in every speaking competition he had participated in before,things like pronunciation,fluency and quality of language are always important.But to his surprise,in the IPSC accents and grammatical mistakes are not considered in the evaluation process.It is the story itself that matters most.
“Audiences are eager to hear powerful stories,no matter where they are from.That’s because the emotions expressed in them are shared by all human beings although there are the cultural differences,” said Wu.“Diversity,respect,tolerance and understanding—these are what the IPSC really wants to stress and spread.”
(　　)4.What is the topic of IPSC in 2023
A.Cultural difference.

(　　)5.What left Wu Dongxu the deepest impression

Engineers at Deakin University have developed a new generation of smart schoolbags that will end the days when students end up forgetting their homework,particularly since the smart schoolbag is capable of completing its own morning checklist.
According to a press release,the smart schoolbag comes with built-in hardware and software that works to ensure it is packed correctly for each day’s timetable,including lunch and sports equipment.
The bag was designed by Dr Hamid Abdi alongside Master’s students at Deakin University.It uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags(标签) to detect items in the bag and the Internet of Things (IoT) technology,which extends Internet connectivity to everyday objects.“The RFID technology allows any user to detect items in the bag in a contactless way,” Dr Abdi said.The IoT technology is employed to check its contents against the daily school plan.Schools or parents can enter data about the activities of each day into the system’s IoT server.The server then links these activities to the RFID tags placed on the items needed.The smart schoolbag can tell what items are not required,ensuring that the bag is no heavier than it needs to be.
The smart schoolbag will save a lot of time and reduce stress that occurs when homework,hats or lunches are left home by mistake,especially if that requires parents to quickly race home to collect the missing item.
While the system can be fitted to any schoolbag,the team have designed a sample of the smart schoolbag that includes the smartphone application.Dr Abdi and his team are looking for commercial partners to take the project to the next level.
(　　)8.Why do the engineers develop the smart schoolbag
A.To give a morning call.
B.To help correct homework.
C.To reduce study pressure.
D.To remind pupils of school items.
(　　)9.What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the smart schoolbag
A.Its application.
B.Its working principle.
C.Its advantage.
D.Its characteristics.
(　　)10.What does Dr Abdi expect of the smart schoolbag
A.It’ll replace parental duties.
B.It’ll ensure academic progress.
C.It’ll reach consumers soon.
D.It’ll be environment-friendly.
(　　)11.Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A.A Smart Schoolbag Saves Time and Reduces Stress
B.A Smart Schoolbag Will Replace an Ordinary Bag
C.The Latest System of Detecting Missing Items
D.The First Generation of a Smart Schoolbag

The grizzly bear(灰熊) is one of the most impressive and beautiful animals that can be found in Yellowstone National Park.Grizzlies hibernate (冬眠) during the winter,and this is when the baby bears are born.Consider it the chance of a lifetime if you can see a grizzly bear on your visit to the park,since these animals are not commonly seen by visitors.
Grizzlies in Yellowstone,usually weighing as much as 350600 pounds,are omnivorous,
feeding on other animals,fish,pine nuts,grasses,roots,and some fruits as well.They even eat dead bodies of some animals.
Although the snow is still deep in the park during March,mild sunny days become common.It is the time of year when the grizzlies of Yellowstone begin to get out of their hibernation places in search of water and food.Spring is also the time of year when bear mothers introduce their newborn babies to the outside world.A mother grizzly bear can be extremely dangerous.It is very important to remember that bears will defend the young bears from any danger.
In an effort to reduce the probability of a human-bear chance meeting,within Yellowstone National Park,certain areas that have higher degrees of bear activity are closed to off-road human activity in spring.
When you visit Yellowstone,stop by the visitor centre in Mammoth,where the park will provide you with more specific information on bear activity at any given time.
The best way to avoid a bear attack is to take protective measures.First,always respect any closure signs for both your safety and the benefit of the bears.Second,always remember to make noise to let any bear in the area know of your presence.If a bear is aware of your presence,it will usually leave the area immediately.However,if you surprise a bear,the chances of an attack are much greater.
The sense of smell for bears is among the best in the animal world.Another rule to remember is that when camping,hang your food from a tree 100 yards away from your camp.Never store food in your tent or close to where you will be sleeping.
(　　)12.Which word can best describe your chance to see a grizzly bear at Yellowstone
A.Fortunate. B.Frightening.
C.Hopeful. D.Regretful.
(　　)13.What does the writer use the underlined word “omnivorous” to describe in the second paragraph
A.Speed of attack.
B.Animal species.
C.Large body size.
D.Food variety.
(　　)14.What is the best suggestion for you when visiting the park
A.Keep quiet when visiting the park.
B.Hang food away from your camps.
C.Touch the lovely baby bears softly.
D.Feed some food to the baby bears.
(　　)15.What is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage
A.To introduce the grizzly bear.
B.To protect the grizzly bear.
C.To avoid a possible grizzly bear attack.
D.To make an advertisement.

When I was twelve,our family moved to a new neighbourhood where our neighbours were Mr and Mrs Green,who lived down the street with their two little preschool girls.Our family often visited the Greens during holidays and most of the time we visited them during the day.Sometimes we would even gather together and give gifts to each other.I would also volunteer to take care of their two lovely children from time to time.One day Mrs Green asked if I could stay with her daughters in the evening,promising she and her husband would be home by 10:00 p.m.I readily agreed.
At 4 o’clock,I knocked on the Greens’ front door,greeted the kids,and received detailed instructions from their mother.A few minutes later,the girls and I were alone.We played hide-and-seek,did some finger painting together,and I fixed them scrambled eggs (炒鸡蛋) and pieces of toast for dinner.Then,at about 8:00 p.m.,I gathered the two kids beside me on the sofa and began to read them a story.
I heard a soft click,as if the front door had been opened,and I stopped.“Go on,” said Melanie,the four-year-old.“Keep reading.” “Wait.” I put my finger to my lips,“I thought I heard someone come in.” I heard the click again,and the lamp beside me switched on.All three of us jumped.Then the drapes (帘子) closed across the big window.
I screamed,put a little girl under each of my arms,and ran upstairs to the bathroom.As I locked the door behind us,I heard music begin to play from a radio somewhere downstairs.The girls clutched (紧紧抱住) each other in fear as I calmed them down,saying,“There’s a bad guy in the house.You have to be perfectly quiet.”
The three of us sat on the floor,ears pressed to the wooden door,listening.Even two-year-old Tricia was very quiet.For two hours we listened to the music playing,but we never heard another sound.No footsteps,no creaking (嘎吱作响的) doors,or breaking of china.Definitely no one walking up the stairs.
注意:续写词数应为 150 个左右。

语篇导读:本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了黄石公园里灰熊的生活习性以及游览时如何避免被灰熊袭击。
答案及剖析:
12.A　推理判断题。根据第一段的最后一句可知,游客不常看到灰熊,因此看到灰熊是幸运的。故选A。
13.D　词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“feeding on other animals ...They even eat dead bodies of some animals.”可知,黄石公园的灰熊吃的食物种类很多,属于杂食性动物。所以,omnivorous 用以描述灰熊食物的多样性。故选D。
14.B　细节理解题。根据最后一段的第二句可知,在黄石公园露营时,要把食物挂在远离营地的地方。故选B。
15.C　推理判断题。文章前三段介绍了灰熊的生活习性;后四段尤其是第六段的“The best way to avoid a bear attack is to take protective measures.”说明灰熊对来黄石公园的游客而言是危险的,并介绍了如何规避危险。由此可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是告诉游客如何避免被灰熊袭击,远离危险。故选C。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was twelve,our family moved to a new neighbourhood where our neighbours were Mr and Mrs Green,who lived down the street with their two little preschool girls.Our family often visited the Greens during holidays and most of the time we visited them during the day.Sometimes we would even gather together and give gifts to each other.I would also volunteer to take care of their two lovely children from time to time.One day Mrs Green asked if I could stay with her daughters in the evening,promising she and her husband would be home by 10:00 p.m.I readily agreed.
At 4 o’clock,I knocked on the Greens’ front door,greeted the kids,and received detailed instructions from their mother.A few minutes later,the girls and I were alone.We played hide-and-seek,did some finger painting together,and I fixed them scrambled eggs (炒鸡蛋) and pieces of toast for dinner.Then,at about 8:00 p.m.,I gathered the two kids beside me on the sofa and began to read them a story.
I heard a soft click,as if the front door had been opened,and I stopped.“Go on,” said Melanie,the four-year-old.“Keep reading.” “Wait.” I put my finger to my lips,“I thought I heard someone come in.” I heard the click again,and the lamp beside me switched on.All three of us jumped.Then the drapes (帘子) closed across the big window.
I screamed,put a little girl under each of my arms,and ran upstairs to the bathroom.As I locked the door behind us,I heard music begin to play from a radio somewhere downstairs.The girls clutched (紧紧抱住) each other in fear as I calmed them down,saying,“There’s a bad guy in the house.You have to be perfectly quiet.”
The three of us sat on the floor,ears pressed to the wooden door,listening.Even two-year-old Tricia was very quiet.For two hours we listened to the music playing,but we never heard another sound.No footsteps,no creaking (嘎吱作响的) doors,or breaking of china.Definitely no one walking up the stairs.
注意:续写词数应为 150 个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Then the front door opened with a bang and we all jumped.

Para.2 Mr Green explained he had bought a smart home device. Q1:How would Mr Green explain what had happened Q2:What else would Mr and Mrs Green do after explaining Q3:What could the author gain from this experience
One possible version:
Then the front door opened with a bang and we all jumped. Both girls leaped into my arms and the three of us trembled until we heard Mrs Green call,“Peggy Where are you ” Melanie,Tricia and I burst out of the bathroom and ran downstairs.The girls threw themselves against their astonished parents’ legs,talking about “bad guys in the house”. In the middle of my explanation,Mr and Mrs Green exchanged a look and began laughing.
Mr Green explained he had bought a smart home device. It could close the electric drapes and turn on a light and a radio at sunset on nights when they went out.“I guess I just switched it on automatically when we left tonight. In all honesty,I don’t even remember doing it,” he explained.“Wow,that’s amazing!” I couldn’t help exclaiming.Hearing what I said,he apologised to me and invited me to stay at their house for the night. “Really,that would be great,” I replied.With the consent of my parents,I slept at their house for one night.During that night,I not only had the opportunity to get to know my neighbours better,but also experienced the wonders of technology and gained a deeper understanding of the power of technology.
注释:until we heard Mrs Green call为until引导的时间状语从句,leaped into my arms 意为 “跳进我的怀里”,表示急切,为动作描写。
talking about “bad guys in the house”为现在分词作伴随状语,表示talking这个动作和前面threw这个动作是同时发生的。
when we left tonight为when引导的时间状语从句,switched it on意为“打开它”,为动作描写。
Hearing what I said 为现在分词作状语以及what引导的宾语从句。
运用了“not only ...but also ...”结构。
