阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后面的要求答题。
The  success  of  a  speech  is  often due to the  skill  of the  speaker  who  is  confident,knowledgeable and able to deliver a speech clearly and effectively.
But often it is not the speakers who write these moving speeches;it is a speechwriter.    And polities is one industry in which this practise is common..So what does it take to be a     political speechwriter? 
According to a recent job  advertisement from the  US Embassy in  Britain,a political     speechwriter needs to have excellent interpersonal skills and be able to demonstrate a deep     knowledge of their subject.They must also work closely with speakers and be able to relate     to the speakers’ style.  
Some believe that the best speechwriters have a—born talent,a natural creative ability, and that speechwriting is an art.
What  about  those  of us  who _______? Can we  still produce  successful  speeches?
In an interview with the BBC,Dr Atkinson(a communications specialist)outlined a
number of speechwriting techniques.He also explained how the.se techniques have been used     in historic speeches.
One such technique is introducing contrast(对比).This is extremely useful when presenting a positive influence on a negative issue. One of the most famous examples of this can be seen in a speech given by former American President John Kennedy:“Ask not what your country can do for you,but what you can do for your country.”   
Another technique is the use of three—part lists.Dr Atkinson explains that this can be     an excellent way of confirming a statement.Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was a    fan of this technique.One of his most famous campaign Slogans(口号)was“education,    education,education”.

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.
Even bird brains can get to know an entire continent ----- but it takes them a year of migration to do so, suggests a Princeton research team.
The scientists have shown that migrating adult sparrows can find their way to their winter nesting grounds even after being thrown off course by thousands of miles.
The team first brought 30 sparrows to Princeton from northern Washington State, where the birds had been in the process of migrating southward from their summer breeding grounds in Alaska. Half the birds were juveniles(少年) of about three months in age that had never migrated before, while the other half were adults that had made the round trip to their wintering site in the south-western United States at least once.
After the birds were released, they attempted to start their migration again but both age group grew disoriented(迷失方向) quickly.
“All the birds scattered(分散) at first,” Wikelski said. “It was clear that they were turned around for a couple of days. But while the adults eventually realized they had to head southwest, the younger birds began flying straight southward again as though they were still in Washington.”
“The adults,” said team member Richard Holland, “recovered their bearings because they possess something the younger birds do not, which is an internal map.”
“These birds need two things to know where they are and migrate effectively: a ‘map’ and a ‘compass’,” said Holland, a postdoctoral research associate in Wikelski’s lab. “What we’ve found is that juveniles use their compass, but the adults also use their map.”
Holland said, “The birds do not lose the compass as they age, but somehow develop the map, eventually applying both tools to keep on track during migratory flights. Scientists already have determined that the compass is based on the sun or the magnetic field, but where the map comes from remains a mystery----one that the team will be exploring in the coming years.”
81.Where do you think the 30 sparrows spent their summer? (No more than 2 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________82.What are the juveniles sparrows really lack of? (No more than 3 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________83.What are scientists still not sure about? (No more than 6 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________84.What is the main idea of the passage? (No more than 12 words)

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分, 满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Mr. Whitson taught sixth-grade science. On the first day of class, he gave us a lecture about an animal called the Cattywampus, a nocturnal (夜间活动的) animal that was wiped out during the Ice Age. He passed around a skull as he talked. We all took notes and later had a quiz.
When he returned my paper, I was shocked. There was a big red “X” through each of my answers. There had to be some mistakes! I had written down exactly what Mr. Whitson said. Then I realized that everyone in the class had failed. What had happened? Very simple, Mr. Whitson explained. He had made up all that story about the Cattywampus. The information in our notes was, therefore, incorrect. Did we expect credit for incorrect answers? Needless to say, we were outraged. What kind of text was this? And what kind of teacher is he?
We should have figured it out, Mr. Whitson said. After all, at the very moment he was passing around the Cattywampus skull (in truth, a cat’s), hadn’t he been telling us that no trace of the animal remained? He had described its amazing night vision, the color of its fur and any number of other facts he couldn’t have known, he had given the animal a ridiculous name, and we still hadn’t been suspicious. The zeroes on our papers would be recorded in his grade book, he said. And they were. Mr. Whitson said he hoped we would learn something from this experience. He told us not to let our minds go to sleep, and to speak up if we ever thought he or the textbook was wrong.
We carded our new skepticism (怀疑主义) into all our classes. This caused problems for the other teachers, who weren’t used to being challenged. Our history teacher would be lecturing about something, and then there would be clearings of the throat and someone would say “Cattywampus”.
If I’m ever asked to propose a solution to the crisis in our schools, it will be Mr. Whitson. I haven’t made any great scientific discoveries, but Mr. Whitson’s class gave me and my classmates something just as important: the courage to look people in the eye and tell them they are wrong. He also showed us that you can have fun doing it.
51.The best title for this passage would probably be _______.
A. Cattywampus                                      
B. An interesting and unforgettable Lesson
C. A new teaching method                        
D. The Best Teacher I Ever Had
52.The underlined word outraged in the second paragraph here means _______.
A. angry                            B. excited                     C. disappointed             D. discouraged
53.From this passage, we know that Mr. Whitson was a teacher _______.
A. difficult to get along with                                   B. creative in teaching  
C. fond of being challenged                          D. full of energy and enthusiasm 
54.We can infer from the passage that _______.
A. teachers and textbooks are not always right
B. Cattywampus could be found in the Ice Age
C. the history teacher didn’t like to be challenged
D. Mr. Whitson always made a bad impression on his students

When it comes to your skin, there is an extremely important fact that you must keep in mind: Your skin is the largest organ of your body. As an obvious result, skin health and maintenance(保养) is vital. Your skin does everything from protecting you from the elements to assisting you with breathing. Your skin keeps your body hydrated(含水的) and regulates your body"s temperature. In the end, this really is only the beginning of all of the various vital functions that your skin provides to you.

When our son, Alex, was young, he hated to travel. We endured refusals to visit one more museum, even if it was the Louvre. We coped with a child who resisted even a taste of onion soup in Paris and who insisted he would like nothing more than ordering room service at the hotel and watching TV.
Over the years, we have come up with several hard-earned but realistic strategies to help kids cope on long-distance trips.
First, we recognize that some children have trouble adjusting to new environments, food, time zones and schedules. So, in advance of a trip to England, we gave our son a taste of the new culture by making shepherd’s pie for supper. He loved the mashed potatoes, chopped meat and brown gravy(肉汁). For Italy, we sampled homemade pesto(香蒜沙司) served over linguine(扁面条). For Amsterdam, I cooked up a pot of comforting pea soup and baked a delicious apple pancake called pannekoeken. Then, when we traveled to these places, he ate these foods and they seemed like a taste of home.
In addition to food, we always sample the culture beforehand by reading books and renting movies from the countries we will be visiting. For Italy, the book Italian Folktales by Italo Calvino and the films Johnny Stecchino, Cinema Paradiso, and Il Postino gave our son a glimpse of the Italian way of life. For Britain, we rented Mr. Bean and Billy Elliot, and enjoyed stories by J.R.R. Tolkien and E. Nesbit. For Amsterdam, he finished The Diary of Anne Frank.
Before we leave home, we also ask Alex to go through our tour books and pick out activities that appeal to him. He was excited about visiting the London Dungeon and the Imperial War Museum, and taking a ride in the London Eye. They turned out to be big hits. Because Alex’s preferences were given equal attention, he was more tolerant of his parents’ selections, such as visiting Charters Cathedral and the Van Gogh Museum.
We’ve also learned the hard way that dragging our son out of bed early in the morning ,thus making him grumpy all day. Now that he is a teenager, we let him sleep in while we sip coffee at a café, work out at the hotel gym, or take a long walk. This makes our time together much more enjoyable
59.According to the writer, parents are advised to _______.
A. cook children’s favorite food           
B. postpone traveling until the kids are in college
C. allow their kids a ride in the London Eye
D. take children’s interest and preferences into account
60.Cinema Paradiso and Il Postino are mentioned as _______.
A. particular desires of children       B. an approach to interest the future possible visit
C. highly appreciated films for tourists  D. comfortable activities children could pick out
61.The underlined word “grumpy” in the last paragraph is similar in meaning to _______.
A. bad-tempered        B. tolerant          C. energetic           D. nervous
62.Which of the following might serve as a possible title for this passage?
A. Kids and Parents.                         B. Joys of Traveling.
C. Whether You Go or Not.                  D. How to motivate Kids to travel
