阅读短文,选择正确答案。    We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don"t do a very good job. This
article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.
    So, you have to give a speech and you"re terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you
stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, "Thank goodness, it"s
over. I"m just no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again." 
    Cheer up! It doesn"t have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making.
Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many
facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time
organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and
use pictures, charts, and graphs if they will help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience.
Don"t talk over their heads, and don"t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate
your thoughtfulness. 
    Just remember: be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you
have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make
person-to-person contact with your audience. If you follow these simple steps, you"ll see that you don"t have to
be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more
speeches! You"re not convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens. 1. The main idea of this article is _______. [     ]
A. you can improve your speaking ability   
B. a poor speaker can never change   
C. always make a short speech   
D. it is hard to make a speech 2. Paragraph 2 implies that _______. [     ]

阅读短文,选择正确答案。
    It is sometimes said that the English are polite people. This can make life difficult for foreigners. Suppose a
foreign boy asks an English girl to go out with him and she says, "If I finish my work, I"ll meet you in the cafe
at 7 o"clock." Is she saying "yes" or "no" to his invitation? 
    In grammatical terms, she is using the conditional structure (表示条件的句式). By using the conditional,
speakers of English can avoid (避免) giving a "yes" or "no" answer to a question. It enables people to be
diplomatic(婉转的). If the girl doesn"t want to go out with the boy, she won"t appear at the cafe. She will let him
understand she is still working. If she wants to go out with him, but doesn"t want to appear too easy to catch,
she has achieved (达到) that with her reply. Here she uses the first conditional which shows probability, it seems
that she will go to the cafe. Being polite can make life very difficult!
    The conditional is often used by people like politicians (政客), for example--who wish to avoid speaking out
their ideas. This is very important if they are on their way to discuss an agreement. No one wants to give away
his or her points before he or she starts. A government spokesman might say to a group of workers, "If we
could pay you more, we would." The use of the conditional here makes room for argument although the speaker
is using the second conditional form, which shows improbability. So it is unlikely the workers will get their rise.
    "If " is a small word, which often appears in the English language. It can show politeness, reported speech
and conditionals such as the First—probability—if I can come to your party, I will; the Second—improbability—
if I saw you tomorrow, I"d give you the book; and the Third—impossibility (meaning it is too late to change
something that has happened)—if you have told me, I would have helped you.
1. The using of the conditional can make a speech ______.
[     ]
A. clearer
B. quicker
C. more polite
D. more exciting
2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
[     ]
A. Language used in the news should make room to argue.
B. Usually English girls are not easy to catch.
C. English people never speak out their ideas in public.
D. The word "if" can show different meanings.
3. According to the passage, "If it doesn"t rain tomorrow, I will go with you" means ______.
[     ]
A. I will go with you tomorrow.
B. I won"t go with you until it rains tomorrow.
C. I may go with you tomorrow.
D. I won"t go with you tomorrow.
4. In the passage, "If we could pay you more, we would." probably means _______.
[     ]
A. the workers will make more money
B. the spokesman doesn"t give any promise (答应)
C. the spokesman keeps his word (食言)
D. the workers" problems aren"t difficult
5. This passage is mainly talking about ______.
[     ]
A. the conditional in communication
B. how to invite a girl in Britain
C. British people and their life
D. some language points in daily English

                                                             Eyes Can Speak
     Much meaning can be carried clearly, with our eyes, so it is often   1   that eyes can speak.
     Do you have such kind of   2  ? In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he   3   that he
is being looked at, he may feel uncomfortable. The same in daily life. If you are looked at for more than
necessary, you will look at yourself up and down, to see if there is   4   wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong,
you will feel   5   toward the person who is looking at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?
     Looking too long at someone may seem to be impolite. But sometimes things are different. If a man looks at
a woman for more than 10 seconds, it may mean that he wishes to attract (吸引) her attention, to make her
understand that he   6   her. When two people are in a conversation, the speaker will only look at the listener
from time to time,  7  make sure that the listener does pay attention  8  what he or she is speaking. Lovers will
enjoy looking at each other or being looked at for a long time, to show something that  9  cannot express.
     Clearly, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the place  10  you

    You speak, write a letter, make a telephone. Your words carry a message. People communicate with words.
Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly.
Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad.
    When you put up your hands in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You
shake your head, and people know you are saying "No". You nod and people know you are saying "Yes". Other
things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on
the door helps you where to go in or out. Have you ever thought that there are a lot of signs around you and that
you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use
his drawing to tell beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things. Books are written to tell about
all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books, magazines, TV, radio and
films all help us communicate with others. They can help us to know what is going on in the world and what
other people are thinking about.
1. People communicate _______.
[     ]
A. with words only
B. in many different ways
C. in letters and drawings
D. with smiles, tears and hands
2. Signs can carry as many _______ as words.
[     ]
A. questions 
B. examples
C. tears and smiles
D. messages
3. Which of the following is not talked in the passage as which can help us communicate?
[     ]
A. books and magazines

任务型阅读理解:仔细阅读下面的短文并按要求完成后面的小题。
    Just as in face-to-face communication, there are some basic rules of behavior (行为) that should be followed
on the Internet. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated. ① Imagine
how you"d feel if you were in the other person"s shoes
.
    For anything you"re about to send: ask yourself, "Would I say that to the person"s face?" If the answer is no,
rewrite and reread. If someone in the chat room is rude to you, you needn"t to fire back. You should either
ignore (不理睬) the person, or use your chat software to block their messages. Remember to respect the beliefs
and opinions of others in the chat room.
    ② Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate.
When someone makes a mistake, be kind about it. If you do decide to tell someone about the mistake, point it out
politely. At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you
have offended (冒犯). ③ 询问别人诸如年龄、性别和家庭情况等隐私问题是不礼貌的。Unless you know
the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, or don"t ask such
questions.
1. In the chat room we must respect others" __________ and __________.
2. When you find you make a mistake in the chat room, what should you do?
