Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1. For questions 37-43, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). For questions 44-46, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.

The Art of Public Speaking

If you were to tape-record one of David Letterman’s comedy routines, memorize it word for word, and stand up before your friends to recite it, would you get the same response Letterman does? Not very likely. And why not? Because you would not deliver the jokes as Letterman does. Of course, the jokes are basically funny. But David Letterman brings something extra to the jokes—his manner of presentation, his vocal inflections, his perfectly timed pauses, his facial expressions, his gestures. All these are part of an expert delivery.

No one expects your speech class to transform you into a multimillion-dollar talk show host. Still, this example demonstrates how important delivery can be to any public speaking situation. Even a common speech will be more effective if it is presented well, whereas a wonderfully written speech can be ruined by poor delivery.

This does not mean dazzling delivery will turn a mindless string of nonsense into a triumphant oration（演说）. You cannot make a good speech without having something to say. But having something to say is not enough. You must also know how to say it.

What Is Good Delivery

Good delivery does not call attention to itself. It conveys the speakers’ideas clearly, interestingly, and without distracting the audience. If you mumble（含糊地说）your words, gaze out the window, or talk in a dull tone, you will not get your message across. Nor will you be effective if you show off, strike a dramatic pose, or

shout in ringing tones. Most audiences prefer delivery that combine a certain degree of formality with the best attributes of good conversation—directness, facial expressiveness, and a lively sense of communication.

Speech delivery is an art, not a science. What works for one speaker may fail for another. And what succeeds with today’s audience may not with tomorrow’s. you cannot become a skilled speaker just by following a set of rules in a textbook. In the long run, there is no substitute for experience. But take heart! A textbook can give you basic pointers to get you started in the right direction.

Methods of Delivery

There are four basic methods of delivering a speech:

(1)reading from a manuscript

Certain speeches must be delivered word for word, according to a well-prepared manuscript. Examples include an engineer’s report to a professional meeting, or a president’s message to Congress. Absolute accuracy is essential. Every word of the speech will be analyzed by the press, by colleagues, perhaps by enemies. Timing may also be a factor in manuscript speeches. Much of today’s political campaigning is done on radio and television. If the candidate buys a one-minute spot and pays a great deal of money for it, that one minute of speech must be just right.

(2)reciting a memorized text

Among the feats of the legendary orators, none leaves us more in awe（敬畏）than their practice of presenting even the longest and the most complex speeches entirely from memory. Nowadays it is no longer customary to memorize any but the shortest of speeches—toasts, introductions, and the like. If you are giving a speech of this kind and want to memorize it, by all means do so. However, be sure to memorize it so thoroughly that you will be able to concentrate on communicating with the audience, not on trying to remember the words. Speakers who gaze at the ceiling or stare out the window trying to recall what they have memorized are no better than those who read dully from a manuscript.

(3)speaking impromptu（即兴地）

An impromptu speech is delivered with little or no immediate preparation. Few people choose to speak impromptu, but sometimes it cannot be avoided. In fact, many of the speeches you give in life will be impromptu. You might be called on suddenly to “say a few words” or, in the course of a class discussion, business meeting, or committee report, want to respond to a previous speaker.

(4)speaking extemporaneously（即席地）

In popular usage, “extemporaneou s” means the same as “impromptu”. But technically the two are different. Unlike an impromptu speech, which is totally unexpected, an extemporaneous speech is carefully prepared and practiced in advance. In presenting the speech, the extemporaneous speaker uses only a set of brief notes or a speaking outline to jog the memory. The exact wording is chosen at the moment of delivery.

This is not as hard as it sounds. Once you have your outline and know what topics you are going to cover and in what order, you can begin to practice the speech. Every time you run through it, the wording will be slightly different. As you practice the speech over and over, the best way to present each part will emerge and stick in your mind.

The Speaker’s Voice

Whatever the characteristics of your voice, you can be sure it is unique. Because no two people are exactly the same physically, no two people have identical voices. This is why voiceprints（声波纹）are sometimes used in criminal trials as guides to personal identity. The human voice is produced by a complex series of steps that starts with the exhalation（呼气）of air from lungs. As air is exhaled, it passes through the larynx（喉）to generate sound. This sound is then made louder and modified as it resonates（共振）through the throat, mouth, and nose. Finally, the resonated sound is shaped into specific sounds by the movement of the tongue, lips, teeth, and roof of the

mouth. The resulting sounds are combined to form words and sentences.

Nonverbal Communication

Posture, facial expression, gestures, eye contact—all affect the way listeners respond to a speaker. How we use these and other body motions to communicate is the subject of a fascinating area of study called kinesics（举止神态学）. Studies have shown that in some situations these signals account for much of the meaning communicated by speakers.

Answering Audience’s Questions

The question-and-answer session is a common part of public speaking, whether the occasion is a press conference, business presentation, public hearing, or classroom assignment. Depending on the situation, questioning may take place throughout the presentation, or it may be reserved until after the speaker has completed his or her remarks. In either case, an answer to a question is often the final word an audience hears and is likely to leave a lasting impression. Effective speakers recognize that the question period can be as important as the speech itself.

47.Why wouldn’t we get the same response as David Letterman if we recited his comedy routine?

A) We would not bring something extra to the jokes.

B) We would not deliver the jokes the way of Letterman.

C) Our manner of presentation is not part of an expert delivery.

D) We would not expect ourselves to be a multimillion-dollar talk show host.

48.Making a good speech requires the speaker not only to have something to say but also to ______________.

A) know how to say it B) turn nonsense into triumph

C) write something wonderfully D) know how to make himself public

49.One feature of good delivery of a public speech is that _________________________________________.

A) it calls audience’s attention to the speech itself

B) it is presented in a ringing tone to attract the audience

C) it presents the speaker’s idea in a clear and interesting way

D) it effectively shows the speaker’s knowledge off

50.Although textbooks can not take the place of ________________ in the long run, they are still important in

improving speech delivery.

A) accepted rules B) basic pointers C) right direction D) accumulated experience

51.Who is more likely to deliver a word-for-word speech according to a manuscript with absolute accuracy?

A) An engineering reporting in a professional meeting.

B) A comedian hosting a program on TV.

C) A presidential candidate talking at home.

D) A teacher lecturing to the students in the hall.

52.Thorough memorizing of the speech will help the speaker _____________________________________.

A) read every word faster in the manuscript

B) memorize the most complex speeches in the world

C) remind the audience of what they have memorized

D) focus his attention on communicating with the audience

53.Extemporaneous speech is different from impromptu speech in that ____________________________.

A) the exact wording in impromptu speech is chosen at the very moment of delivery

B) extemporaneous speech requires careful preparation and practice beforehand

C) extemporaneous speech is totally unexpected and requires immediate preparation

54.V oiceprints can be used in criminal trials as guides to personal identity because each person’s voice is

______________________.

55.The way listeners respond to a speaker can also be affected by ___________________ such as posture, facial

expression, gestures and eye contact.

Directions:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

There is a new type of small advertisement becoming increasingly common in newspaper classified columns. It is sometimes placed among “situations vacant”, although it does not offer anyone a job, and sometimes it appears among “situations wanted”, although it is not placed by someone looking for a job, either. What it does is to offer help in applying for a job.

“Contact before writing your application”, or “Make use of our long experience in preparing your curriculum vitae or job history”, is how it is usually expressed. The growth and apparent success of such a specialized service is, of course, a reflection, on the current high levels of unemployment. It is also an indication of the growing importance of the curriculum vitae (or job history), with the suggestion that it may now qualify as an art form in its own right.

There was a time when job seekers simply wrote letters of application. “Just put down your name, address, age and whether you have passed any exams”, was about the average level of advice offered to young people applying for their first jobs when I left school. The letter was really just for openers, it was explained, everything else could and should be saved for the interview. And in those days of full employment the technique worked. The letter proved that you could write and were available for work. Your eager face and intelligent replies did the rest.

Later, as you moved up the ladder, something slightly more sophisticated was called for. The advice then was to put something in the letter which would distinguish you from the rest. It might be the aggressive approach. “Your search is over. I am the person you are looking for”, was a widely used trick that occasionally succeeded. Or it might be some special feature specially designed for the job interview.

There is no doubt, however, that it is increasing number of applicants with university education at all points in the process of engaging staff that has led to the greater importance of the curriculum vitae.

47. The new type of advertisement which is appearing in newspaper columns __________________.

A) informs job hunters of the opportunities available

B) promises to offer useful advice to those looking for employment

C) divides available jobs into various types

D) informs employers of the people available for work

48. Nowadays a demand for this specialized type of service has been created because ____________.

A) there is a lack of jobs available for artistic people

B) there are so many top-level jobs available

C) there are so many people out of work

D) the job history is considered to be a work of art

49. In the past it was expected that first job hunters would _________________________________.

A) write and initial letter giving their life history

B) pass some exams before applying for a job

C) have no qualifications other than being able to read and write

D) keep any detailed information until they obtained an interview

50. Later, as one went on to apply for more important jobs, one was advised to include in the letter

_____________________________________.

A) something that would distinguish one from other applicants

B) hinted information about the personality of he applicant

C) one’s advantages over others in applying for the job

D) an occasional trick with the aggressive approach

51. The curriculum vitae has become such an important document because ____________________.

A) there has been an increase in the number of jobs advertised

B) there has been an increase in the number of applicants with degrees

C) jobs are becoming more complicated nowadays

D) the other processes of applying for jobs are more complicated

Passage Two

During times of great crisis, human beings typically turn to one of two strategies: fight or flight. There is, however, a third strategy: learning and deep change. It is based on the principle that all events, especially the most tragic, are ripe with opportunities for learning.

The September 11 terrorists demonstrated expertise（专门技术）in systems theory. They knew that complex systems always have two sides. One is creative and allows for great speed and efficiency (for example, civil aviation aircraft and high-rise office towers). The other is potentially destructive and can generate major catastrophes (using civil aviation against the high-rise target).

All of our current complex systems, including information systems, biotechnology, air travel, nuclear power, and the mail system, have these two major characteristics. All are susceptible（易受影响的）to organizational error (the Challenger tragedy), human error (Chernobyl), and terrorism (Oklahoma City). Yet terrorism is the darkest and the most dangerous side of our complexity.

In the case of the World Trade Center, terrorists deliberately expl oited the “destructive side” of aircraft and highly populated office towers. If one simply joins hijacking with cat bombing, and magnifies their effects, then September 11 is the result.

The lesson we must learn from September 11 is that our management practices, private and public, are one-dimensional. Whether it is with regard to civil aviation safety or real estate, our world is dominated by concerns about profitability. These constrain us from implementing needed and proven safety procedures in aviation and high-rise office design. The focus on profitability also pushes our systems to grow unreasonably large, rendering them more vulnerable to terrorist attacks.

Approximately 76% of the criteria used to measure organizational efficiency are financial. Only 24% consider nonfinancial indicators such as health, safety, or the global impact that organizations have on communities and the world in general. Devoting more of our attention to nonfinacial indicators can help us develop new strategies to match the complexity of fighting terrorism. The fields of risk and crisis management already use some of these strategies.

52. What is the main idea of the passage?

A) All events ate full of opportunities for learning .

B) We can enhance our future security b y learning more about our society’s complexities.

C) The September 11 terrorist attack is the most destructive disaster of all.

D) Terrorism poses a formidable threat to international security.

53. The September 11 terrorist attack is an example of _____________________________.

A) the creative side of systems theory B) the destructive side of systems theory

___________________.

A) the great speed and efficiency of modern society

B) the complexity of various organizations

C) the management style

D) the predominance of concerns about profitability

55. Which of the following statements will the author most probably agree with?

A) Financial considerations are more important than nonfinancial ones.

B) Nonfinancial considerations are more important than financial ones.

C) Nonfinancial considerations are as important as financial ones.

六年级短文训练《成功的起点》

成功的起点 法国科学家曾做过一个着名的“毛毛虫”实验。 这种毛毛虫有一种“跟随者”的习性，总是盲目地跟随着前面的毛毛虫走。科学家把若干个毛毛虫放在一个花盆的边缘上，首尾相连，围成一个圈，并在花盆周围不到6寸的地方（撒洒）上一些毛毛虫爱吃的松叶。毛毛虫开始一个跟着一个，绕着花盆一圈一圈地走。一分钟过去了，一小时过去了，一天过去了，又一天过去了，毛毛虫还是夜以继日地团团转（zhuǎn zhuàn ）。一连七天七夜，它们饥渴难忍，终于精疲力竭，相继而亡。 科学家总结实验时，在实验笔记上写下了这样一句耐人寻味的话：在那么多毛毛虫当中，其实只要有一只稍与众不同，去走另外一条路，不就会避免死亡的命运（？。） 在西撒哈拉沙漠中有一个小村庄比塞尔，它靠在一块平方公里的绿洲旁，从这里走出沙漠一般需要三昼夜的时间。然而，在肯?莱文发现它之前，这里的人们没有一个走出过沙漠。他们(虽然不是)不想离开那儿，(但是而是)尝试了多次都失败了。肯?莱文对此表示难以置信，于是他亲自做了个实验。他从比塞尔向北走，结果三天半就走了出来。这使得比塞尔人惊悟：原来他们中根本没有人向北走过，每一个试图走出沙漠的人都是沿着他前面那个人走过的路线走的，从来没有人想过另辟蹊径。 如今的比塞尔已经成了一个旅游胜地。每一个到过比塞尔的人都会发现一座纪念碑——新生活是从选定方向开始的。 生活中，我们太习（贯惯）于走别人走过的路，偏执地认为走大多数人走过的路绝对不会错。但是，我们却不会想到，当我们这么想的时候，忽略（lüè nüè）了一个重要的事实，那就是走别人没有走过的路往往更容易成功。人能走多远首先取决于你站在哪儿，更重要的是选准方向，持久稳健地走下去。 一、用“/”划去短文（）里不正确的字、拼音和标点。 二、根据意思选摘文中词语。

(励志文章)坚持不懈是成功的起点

坚持不懈是成功的起点 励志文章 之前经常说，只要坚持自己的目标，不轻言放弃，就连上天，也会助我们一臂之力的。 先说个故事，炎帝有一个小女儿，叫女娃。女娃十分乖巧，黄帝见了她，也都忍不住夸奖她，炎帝视女娃为掌上明珠。 有一次，炎帝不在家时，女娃便独自玩耍，她很想让父亲带她出去，到东海太阳升起的地方去看一看。可是因为父亲忙于公事：太阳升起时来到东海,直到太阳落下；日日如此，总是不能带她去。这一天，女娃没告诉父亲，就一个人驾着一只小船向东海太阳升起的地方划去。 不幸的是，海上突然起了狂风大浪，像山一样的海浪把女娃的小船打翻了，女娃不幸落入海中，终被无情的大海吞没了，永远回不来了。炎帝固然痛念自己的小女儿，但却不能用太阳光来照射她，使她死而复生，也只有独自神伤嗟叹了。 女娃虽然死了，但是她的精魂却化作了一只小鸟，花脑袋，白嘴壳，红色的爪子，十分可爱，可发出的，却是精卫、精卫的悲鸣，所以，人们便叫此鸟为精卫。

精卫痛恨无情的大海夺去了自己年轻的生命，她要报仇雪恨。因此，她一刻不停地从她住的发鸠山上衔了一粒小石子，展翅高飞，一直飞到东海。她在波涛汹涌的海面上回翔阒，悲鸣着，把石子树枝投下去，想把大海填平。 大海奔腾着，咆哮着，嘲笑她：小鸟儿，算了吧，你这工作就干一百万年，也休想把我填平！ 它哪里知道，精卫十分执著，在高空答复大海：哪怕是干上一千万年，一亿年，干到宇宙的尽头，世界的末日，我终将会把你填平的！ 轮到大海不解了：你为什么这么恨我呢？ 因为你夺去了我年轻的生命，你将来还会夺去许多年轻无辜的生命。我要永无休止地干下去，总有一天会把你填成平地。 精卫飞翔着、鸣叫着，离开大海，又飞回发鸠山去衔石子和树枝。她衔呀，扔呀，成年累月，往复飞翔，从不停息。后来，一只海燕飞过东海时无意间看见了精卫,他为她的行为感到困惑不解,但了解了事情的起因之后,海燕为精卫大无畏的精神所打动,就与其结成了夫妻，生出许多小鸟，雌的像精卫，雄的像海燕。小精卫和她们的妈妈一样，也去衔石填海。直到今天，她们还在做着这种工作。 精卫锲而不舍的精神，善良的愿望，宏伟的志向，受到人们的尊敬。晋代诗人陶潜在诗中写道：精卫衔微木，将以填沧海，热烈赞扬精卫小鸟敢于向大海抗争的悲壮战斗精神。后世人们也常常以精卫填海比喻志士仁人所从事的艰巨卓越的事业。

Unit 5 Section A Spend or save — The student's dilemma 花钱还是存钱，学生进退维谷 1 Do you feel as confused and manipulated as I do with this question, "Should I spend or should I save?" I think that the messages we get from our environment seem to defy common sense and contradict each other. The government tells us to spend or we'll never get out of the recession. At the same time, they tell us that unless we save more, our country is in grave danger. Banks offer higher interest rates so we increase savings. Then the same banks send us credit card offers so we can spend more. 1 你是不是跟我一样对“我应该花钱还是存钱”这个问题感到困惑，且有被操纵的感觉？我觉得我们从生活的环境里所获得的信息似乎是有违常识、互相矛盾的。政府告诉我们要花钱，否则我们将永远走不出衰退；与此同时，他们又告诉我们，除非我们节省更多的钱，否则我们的国家会处于严重危险之中。银行提供较高的利率以增加储蓄。然后，同样是这些银行又提供信用卡让我们可以花更多的钱。 1 Do you feel as confused and manipulated as I do with this question, “Should I spend or should I save?” (Para. 1) Meaning: When asking yourself whether you should spend or save, do you feel puzzled and controlled as I do? Meaning beyond words: According to the conventional concept, we are the master or the boss of the money we have earned. It is up to us to decide how to use our money. However, the sentence gives us the hint that we are actually no longer in control of our money. 2 I think that the messages we get from our environment seem to defy common sense and contradict each other. (Para. 1) Meaning: In my opinion, the messages we get in our daily life about the question “Should I spend or should I save?” are against common sense and they often don’t agree with each other. Usage note: defy, deny defy和deny都是及物动词，词形相近，但实际上两者词义有别，用法也不同。 1 defy主要表示“违抗；反抗；蔑视”，后接名词；而deny主要表示“否认；拒绝承认”，后接名词或that引导的从句。 Nearly 11 thousand people have been arrested for defying the ban on street trading. 近一万一千人因违抗在街上交易的禁令而被捕。 The government has denied that the authorities have uncovered a plot to assassinate the president. 政府已否认当局发现了一个暗杀总统的阴谋。 2 defy后接动词不定式表示“挑战；刺激某人做某事”时，不能用动名词形式；deny表示“否

相信是成功的起点

相信是成功的起点 相信是成功的起点 （相信行业） 何涛，93年大学毕业后开始进入电脑行业，因为赶上了这个行业发展的黄金时期。经过13年多的努力拼搏，因为赶上了IT行业发展的好时候，我的电脑企业迅速壮大，但是在经营的过程中，我见证了这个行业从神秘到透明的转变，同时也见证了这个行业从暴利到微利的过程。 13年，像很多行业一样的老板一样，我逐渐感觉到神疲乏力，力不从心，更紧要的是当我的亲友，同学找到我希望我能够给予他们一些合作的机会的时候我只能说对不起，因为他们缺乏专业知识缺乏电脑公司的管理经验，我无法帮助到他们，我感觉到很无奈！ 于是我也不断在寻找机会。 一个偶然的机会我接触到直销这个行业，没有一头扎进去，而是很冷静地思考，希望先对这个行业有个综合的了解，分析是否适合我，是否有很好的发展空间。 2004年，我和我的搭档，也是我生命中的挚友姚忠先生在北京成立了一个专业级的非赢利组织—北京东方直销人俱乐部。我们借助这个平台认识了很多资深直销人士，并且专门到韩国和日本学习和考察直销行业的现状。最后我得出结论：直销是未来符合绝大多数老百姓消费和经营的一种先进的营销方式，是一种大趋势，而直销行业一定在21世纪中国这个无限巨大的市场中的重要行业，是一个蕴藏巨大财富的一个新生代的朝阳产业。我相信这个行业可以让我的人生更有价值，我相信这个行

业会帮我身边更多的人实现个人创业之梦 （相信公司） 2006年元旦前后，我和我的朋友们经过考察，选择了我进入直销的第一家公司，两年多的时间让我这个从来没有带领过团队的平凡人逐渐成长起来。因为业绩突出，这家公司在准备2008年1月份在香港国际会展中心举办隆重表彰大会的通知，我做为即将的汽车大奖得主也非常兴奋。当时帮我母亲办理了护照准备参与公司组织的国外旅游，而这个时候就好像很多没有直销牌照的所谓直销企业宿命中的魔咒一样，这家公司因为经营的问题被武汉市相关执法机关勒令停止营运。一夜之间我们近两年的努力全部化为泡影。我们曾经的一切美好梦想瞬间灰飞烟灭。我是家里面的经济支柱和精神支柱，当我看到来自武汉的电话时完全不敢去接听，晚上总是做恶梦，梦见我接受审查的境遇多次将我从梦中惊醒。而那个时候我的女儿才两岁多，我无法想象如果我除了什么问题，我的家人将会面对怎样的生活的艰难。尤其是我六十多岁的老母亲，她一夜白发，虽然她没有跟我说太多，但是每次我都能看到她欲言又止的神态，都能看到她为我的安全无比担忧的眼神，当时我的处境给她带来的痛苦和打击是可以想象的。有一次她实在控制不住对我所处境遇的担忧，找到我说：“孩子啊，最近一个多月时间我每天都睡不着觉。我们辛苦把你培养成大学毕业，我和你爸爸从不指望你能够飞黄腾达，只是希望你这一辈子能够平平安安。如果你出什么闪失，我和你爸爸真不知道怎样去生活啊”！可怜天下父母心，做为他们的子女，我想就算赚多少钱，如果以人身安全做为代价，这样的结果，全天下任何一个父母都
