Speaking in public is most people's least favorite thing.The reason is that we are all afraid of making fools of ourselves.The more important the speech is, the more frightened we become.In fact, public speaking is not a "gift" like musical talent (天賦) .Anybody who can talk can speak in public.Here are some of the lessons I have learned:

Try to make your idea clear and brief.If you can't express what you intend to get across in a sentence or two, and then your speech is not focused well enough.If you don't have a clear idea of what you want to say, your audience will make no sense.After all, what you can impress your audience in your speech is one or two of your main ideas.One or two.Not ten or twenty.

No matter how long or short your speech is, you've got to organize it well-how you are going to open, what major points you want to make and how you're going to close.A strong close is critical: the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember.When I do a radio or TV piece, I often write the last sentence first.When you know where you're headed, you can choose any route to get there.

Finally, you'd better limit the time of your speech as properly as you can to hold the audience's curiosity.Take a vaudeville act (雜耍) for example.The standard length of one is usually 12 minutes.Just imagine how you are feeling if you have been watching all the performers singing and dancing their hearts out for more than the standard time!

How to prepare a lecture

Being invited to give a lecture is an honor.It means that people regard you as an authority on a given field, subject, or issue.It means you are worth listening to.1.   You have to make sure your lecture is interesting, and full of wisdom, from which the audience can take valuable insights.This is why it is important for you to prepare your lecture well.

1.Think of a good topic.

You most likely will be assigned to talk about a certain topic.If that's the case, you only need to make an outline and do some research.But in some cases, you will have to think of your own topic.Although it gives you more freedom to do it, thinking of a topic can be tricky.2.   Or pick a topic that is timely and socially relevant.

2.Make an outline for the lecture.

Start by listing down the points that you will discuss, and then fill in each point with subpoints.If necessary, make a research about your topic.3.   But if in so doing you end up with a very long outline, figure how you can shorten the topic or cut where cutting is needed.

3.4.  

Statistics, figures, medical information, historical accounts, and similar information should all be checked and it will save your credibility as an authority on the subject you are talking about.

4.Add humor.

Don't engage your audience in a dragging soliloquy (獨(dú)白).5.   Humor will interest your audience.Of course, make sure the elements in your lecture are in line with your main topic and are not nonsense, racial, and offensive jokes.

A.Check your lecture for accuracy.

B.Giving a lecture is challenging, though.

C.If necessary, provide your contact information, such as an email address or blog site.

D.Instead, make your audience smile, or burst into laughter at certain points in your discussion.

E.To make it easier, consider what will interest your audience.

F.It should summarize your whole talk in one sentence.

G.Don't be afraid of exploring the topic, as this will allow you to discover other points that need discussion.

第二部分:閱讀理解(共25題,第一節(jié)每題2分,第二節(jié)每題1分)

第一節(jié):閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A,B,C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

Trouve sat up on its back legs arid growled(吼叫)the words “How are you, Grandmama?” The audience roared with laughter and clapped. Twenty-year-old Aleck gave the dog a morsel(一口)of food. His hard wok paid off. His dog could talk!

Aleck was fascinated with the different sounds of people’s speech. His father taught students who had a speech problem to improve their speech. Aleck paid close attention. Could an animal form sounds into words, too? He decided to experiment with Trouve, the family dog.

The easy part was teaching Trouve to growl whenever Aleck wanted. The little dog growled for a morsel of food.

Next Aleck moved the dog’s “l(fā)ips’ as it growled. It sounded like “ma ma ma.” Trouve learned quickly to stop the growling just as Aleck’s hand moved away. They practiced and practiced until the dog said “ma ma” perfectly.

Soon Aleck discovered more. If he pushed gently under the dog’s jawbone(下顎骨), it made the “ga” sound. If he pushed once and moved the dog’s lips twice, he could make the dog say, “ga ma ma”. With even more practice, it sounded like “grandmama.” Whenever Trouve said “grandmam,” Aleck gave the god two treats, so Trouve loved the lessons.

Aleck tried to teach his dog to move its tongue. So that Trouve could say more words. That didn’t work, but Aleck didn’t give up.

After many hours of practice, Trouve could say, “Ow ah oo ga-ma-ma?” This sounded just like “How are you, Grandmama?”

Friends and neighbors traveled to see young Aleck and his amazing talking dog. Rumors spread that the dog could speak by itself, which wasn’t true. No matter how much Aleck tried, the dog was never able to move its lips without help.

Aleck’s full name was Alexander Graham Bell. He wanted to know more about the world all his life. He had many ideas. Some worked; others didn’t. But he kept trying—always learning; One of his inventions was something called the telephone.

41.Which of the following is TRUE of Aleck?

A.His father had an influence on him.      

B.He had a talent for giving speeches.

C.He taught Trouve to talk in honor of his grandmother.

D.He carried out many experiments to improve people’s speech.

42.Trouve grew fond of practicing talking because         .

A.it liked being together with Aleck  B.it was given some food for that

C.it would like to develop its potential      D.Aleck treated it like one of the family

43.Which of the following words can best describe Aleck?

A.Humorous.      B.Naughty.  C.Knowledgeable.       D.Curious.

44.What contributes most to Aleck’s success in teaching the dog to talk?

A.His own hard work.         B.His neighbor’s help.

C.His father’s encouragement.    D.The dog’s smartness.
