9．Become a confident speaker．How to improve your English speaking skills and make you able to communicate more easily and effectively？The following tips will help you to become a more confident speaker．
Practice where you can and when you can．And practice is good-whether you speak to someone who is a native English speaker or not．
It's important to build up your confidence．If possible，use the simple sentence structure that you know is correct，so that you can concentrate on getting your message across．
Try to experiment with the English you know．Apply （應用） words and phrases you know to new situations．Native English speakers are likely to correct you if you use the wrong word．They usually don't mind if you use wrong grammar．
Try to respond to what people say to you．You can often get clues to what people think by looking at their body language．Respond to them in a natural way．
Never translate everything into your own language．It takes you much time and you'll find it difficult to find an English answer right away．You don't know how to do well．The more you want to act well，the more slowly you act．This will make you hesitant．
If you forget a word，do what native English speakers do all the time，and say things that‘fill'the conversation．This is better than remaining completely silent．Try using‘um'，‘er'，if you forget the word．
Don't speak too fast!It's important to use a natural rhythm （節(jié)奏） in speaking English，but if you speak too fast it will be difficult for people to understand you．
Try to relax when you speak，and you'll find that your mouth does most of the pronunciation work for you．Speak English at a normal speed．
Final tips：Try to become less hesitant．Don't be shy to speak-the more you do it，the more confident you'll become．Remember to be polite-use"please"and"thank you"if you ask someone to do something for you．

60．What is the text mainly about？B
A．Good ways of studying English well．
B．Suggestions on becoming a confident speaker．
C．Things to pay attention to when speaking English．
D．How to correct your mistakes as you speak English．
61．How many tips does the author offer in this text？C
A.9．      B.10．     C.11．     D.12．
62．In this passage，the underlined word"hesitant"in the sixth paragraph means"D"．
A．sure about what to do
B．fast to make a good decision
C．successful in answering questions
D．uncertain about how to express yourself
63．This text is most probably written forA．

17．Everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older，but men's minds decline（衰退） more than women's，according to the results of a worldwide survey．
    Certain differences seem to be inherent in male and female brains：men are better at dealing with mental images （useful in mathematical reasoning and spatial （三維空間） skills），while women tend to be better at recalling information from their memories （helpful with language skills and remembering the locations of objects）．
    Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline people experience as they age，but the results have been mixed．
    Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women，while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline．Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people，and women live longer than men．The men tested are the survivors，"so they're the ones that may not have shown such cognitive （認知的） decline，"said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England．
    People surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills：matching an object to its rotated （旋轉的） form，matching lines shown from the same angle，typing as many words in a particular collection as possible in the given time，e．g．"objects usually colored gray"，and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing．The first two were tasks which men are usually good at； the latter are almost controlled by women．
    Within each age group studied，men and women performed better in their separate task on average．Generally speaking，women showed obviously less decline than men though performance declined with age for both sexes．
71．The underlined word"inherent"in the second paragraph meansC．
A．difficult            B．native               C．natural          D．absolute
72．Which of the following tasks are men better at？A
A．Matching lines shown from the same angle．
B．Typing as many words in a particular category as possible•
C．Recalling the location of objects in a line drawing．
D．Recalling information from their brain's files．
73．Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage？D
A．Men are good at typing words in a particular category in the given time．
B．Women are good at dealing with mathematic problems．
C．Men do better than women when it comes to learning English．
D．Women stand out at remembering people's names．
74．What important factor affects the correctness of the research results？C
A．People tested come from all over the world．B．Men live longer than women．
C．the old men tested may not have shown such cognitive （認知的） decline．
D．The researchers got their results mixed．
75．The author aims to tell us thatB．
A．the survey on human's mind decline was done recently   
B．men's minds decline more with age
C．everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older
D．women's minds perform better than men's．

4．It is not a good idea to stop the actor Richard Griffiths in the middle of a play．During the past year he had stopped performances many times at the National Theatre when mobile phones rang，and he threw out one member of the audience because she failed to turn off her phone．
So when a mobile rang out for the third time during his performance in Alan Bennett's The History Boys，he spoke angrily to the theatergoer，"I am not going to compete with these electronic devices （裝置）．"
Griffiths'actions led to a debate in the UK theatre world over whether phones should be forbidden by law from British theatres．Actors have already asked the govern-
ment to legalize the use of an electronic device that stops mobile phone signals in theatres．
Technology companies have"stopping"devices that send out a high-powered signal on the same frequency as a mobile phone，stopping the mobile phone signals．
However，these are forbidden in many countries because they might stop emergency （緊急情況） calls from being made．
Rosemary Squire，president of the Society of West End Theatre，said，"Phones are one of the biggest problems theatres face．We should look at equipment that could stop phones or make a London-wide theatre rule．"
Nick Allott，the managing director of Sir Cameron Mackintosh's theatre group，said，"We would all welcome some ways of keeping phones from ringing but doctors and emergency workers need to be connected in a theatre and we mustn't stop that．"What can we do to solve the problem？
66．The first two paragraphs are written toC．
A．tell us some information about the famous actor Griffiths
B．introduce the topic of whether or not to forbid phones in theatres
C．blame Griffiths for his rude behavior
D．give us advice on mobile phone use
67．What can we know from the second paragraph？B
A．Surely Griffiths did better than mobile phones in the theatre．
B．Griffiths didn't want mobile phones to affect his performance．
C．Griffiths was jealous that mobile phones attracted the audience's attention．
D．Griffiths taught theatergoers a lesson in the performance as a teacher．
68．According to the passage，"stopping"devicesC．
A．have the same functions as mobile phones
B．cause the biggest problem theatres have to face
C．prevent the mobile phones signals from being received
D．help doctors or emergency workers receive emergency calls
69．According to Nick Allott，D．
A．"stopping"devices can make the sound of mobile phones disappear
B．no one except doctors and emergency workers should have mobile phones
C．phones are one of the biggest problems theatres face
D．We can't totally stop the use of phones in theatres．
70．What is the passage probably going to talk about next？C
A．Griffiths'next performance in theatres．
B．The opinions the public has about the problem．
C．The ways to solve the cellphone problem in public places．
D．The harm mobile phones do to people．

14．We all have our wish lists，whether it is for the holiday season，a birthday or a get-together．The fact is that we are all human and we all desire nice things and fun things．One thing that should not be missed is putting Cuponk on your wish list so that you can have years of fun and entertainment．
For adults，they can start playing Cuponk with their kids，spending quality time together，which is good for close family ties．Adults can also enjoy Cuponk with their own friends，turning a dinner party into something memorable （難忘的）．The game is made for everyone，regardless of age or gender （性別）．
It comes with a special cup with a backboard funnel （漏斗），special balls and trick cards．There are different styles of cups to choose from，just to make it even more personal an experience．The players must pick a trick card when it is their turn．The card will tell them what to do and how many times they're allowed to try that particular trick．The tricks always involve getting the ball into the cup，which will light up and make some crazy sounds of victory afterwards．
The rules allow for everything in the home to be allowable．That means that you can bounce （反彈） the ball off the wall into the cup as creatively as possible，or you can also use tables，chairs，stairs，the ceiling and whatever else you have．What makes it even more special than most others is the fact that all ages can play together．So，a family with different age groups can enjoy a few games together，without any real concern for damages，as the balls are quite light．It's kind of like beer pong rules，but without the beer．
In a time with economic instability （不穩(wěn)定），where consumers have chosen to stay at home to save a few dollars，it is a great way to do that without being bored．Playing games with friends or family members is a good way to laugh and pass the time pleasantly，rather than just sitting in front of a television or a computer wasting valuable time．No one will remember watching television，but everyone will remember those memorable moments playing fun games and spending good quality time with the people they love．

68．Cuponk can be put on the wish list becauseD．
A．it is for the holiday season
B．it can help us pass time

1．The right name is important in the business world．All you have to do is think of the names for some of the products you buy every day and you'll agree that the name and the product are connected in everyone's mind．
In many countries，successful trade or brand names are protected by law．This is so that other companies cannot make a product that looks like another．People might think that they were buying one product and，in fact，be buying something different．Businesses register a company or a product name with the government．In fact，more than 1，000 product and company names are registered every hour．Many companies spend a lot of money to find the right name for their products．A good example of this is in the car industry．Some successful names for cars have powerful associations．The Ford Mustang and the Jaguar are only two examples of choosing the names of animals that are fast and strong．
When a U．S．company decides to sell its product in another country，it has to make sure that the product name translates properly．When Coca-Cola introduced its soft drink to China，it looked for the right name．It wanted a name that would do two things．One was to present its image in Chinese and the second was to be close to its first brand name-Coke．It took some efforts before finding the right word-which sounds similar and translates as"happiness in the mouth"．Asian company names are not new to the United States．The brand names of Samsung and Sony have been successful．Finding the right brand name is a big business．Asian companies that sell to foreign markets pay to find a name that will connect with its customers．There are even naming companies that specialize in inventing product names．These companies can charge up to $ 100，000 a word for their creations．But it's worth it．Successful companies know how important the right brand names are for their development．
59．Why are trade names protected by law in many countries？D
A．To make companies pay for naming service．
B．To help people choose the best products．
C．To present good images of the products．
D．To prevent products from being copied．
60．What can we learn from the passage？B

B．Creative trade names can help companies to have a larger sale．
C．The government often does business with naming companies．
D．It is considered necessary for cars to be named after animals．

18．More and more parents are worrying about their daughters who have become overweight．Girls who think they aren't popular at school are at higher risk for weight gain，according to a new study．It's long been known that being overweight can lead to social exclusion （排斥） for teens，but researchers at Harvard University discovered：whether a student's opinions of her social position played a role in her weight．
To find out，the researchers measured the body weight of nearly 4，500 girls aged 12 to 18．
Two years later，the researchers found，all of the girls had gained weight-no surprise，since they were all growing．But girls who thought they were less popular at school were at a 70 percent higher risk of gaining extra weight．

Experts suggested that parents concerned about a girl's weight should look not only at eating habits but also at their child's social network，encouraging relationships with friends and joining in group activities．Meanwhile schools should also organize more programs to help girls build social skills，they added．
64．Which kind of girls is less likely to gain extra weight？B
