It doesn’t make any difference how long your speech is. Unless you tune (定调) in the first 60 seconds, the chances are they will tune you out.
Take the fellow who opens: “On my way over to the club tonight, I ran into a bum (流浪汉) who asked me for $ 49.50 for a cup of coffee. I told him he’d do much better if he asked for a quarter. He said, “Do you think I’m going into the Ritz in these clothes?” We know his purpose: to win his audience over with humor. His bit of humor, however, has no connection with his speech. He has his audience laughing at the wrong time. Once you have an audience laughing it’s hard to get them to switch to an entirely different train of thought. There is nothing wrong with humor in a speech as long as it has something to do with the purpose of his speech. To open a speech with humor just to be entertaining invites an almost sure “turnoff” for the remainder of the talk.
56. What, in a speech, determines its failure or success?
A. The purpose of the speech.
B. A sense of humor.
C. The opening remarks.
D. A forceful ending.
57. If a speaker decides to be humorous, his humor should ___.
A. be connected with his subject
B. make his audience laugh
C. be fresh and different
D. be reserved for the end
58. The underlined words mean ___.
A. to make your audience go away at once
B. likely to cause your audience to lose interest
C. to switch their thoughts to other things
D. likely to have your audience laugh with you
59. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A. The opening part of your speech should not be long.
B. Humor is important in the success of your speech.
C. Your humor should be relevant (相关的) and timely.
D. An outstanding speech is full of jokes.
B
The single, decisive factor(因素) that made it possible for mankind to settle in lasting communities(社区，聚居地) was agriculture. After farming was developed in the Middle East in about 6500 BC, people living in family units did not have to be on the move continually searching for food or hunting their animals. Once people could control the production of food and be assured of a reliable supply of it, their lives changed completely.
Farming was a revolutionary discovery. It not only made settlements possible and later the building of cities but it also made available a reliable food supply. With more food available, more people could be fed. Population therefore increased. The growing number of people available for more kinds of work led to the development of new social formations. With more and more food, a community could support a variety of workers who were not farmers.
Farming in the world over has always relied upon a dependable water supply. For the earliest societies this meant rivers and streams or regular rainfall. The first great civilizations grew up along rivers. Later communities were able to develop by taking advantage of the rainy seasons.
All of the ancient civilizations probably developed in much the same way, in spite of a few differences. As villages grew, the production of more numerous goods became possible. Cloth could be woven from wool. Houses made of wood, brick, and stone could be put up.
The science of mathematics was an early outgrowth of agriculture. People studied the movements of the moon, the sun, and the planets to work out seasons. In so doing they created the first calendars(日历). With a calendar it was possible to find out the arrival of each growing season. Measurement of land areas was necessary if field was to be divided accurately. Measurements of amounts, for example, of seeds or grains was also a factor in farming and housekeeping. Later came measures of value as money exchange became common.
All of the major ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Indus Valley, and China appeared in the 4th millennium BC. Historians still argue over which one came into being first. It may well have been the Middle East. This place reaches out from the Nile River in Egypt northward along the coast of former Palestine, then eastward into Asia to include Mesopotamia. In this area people settled along the riverbanks and practiced field agriculture. This kind of farming depended on the reproduction of seed, normally from grain crops.
60. The final result of the development of agriculture was that_________ .
A. the population increased slowly
B. a constant supply of food was certain
C. a new social formation came into being
D. a variety of jobs were open to people
61. Which of the following is true according to the writer?
A. Mathematics helped create the agricultural society.
B. Societies in the past in different parts of the world grew in similar ways.
C. Modern cities developed out of originally wealthier villages.
D. Cloth-making marked an important period in agricultural development.
62. The development of mathematics ________ .
A. enabled people to arrange their agricultural activities better
B. got the society out of the agricultural age
C. helped create early agricultural civilization around the world
D. made possible the exchange of agricultural goods
63. It can be safely concluded that _______ .
A. the development of mathematics played a decisive role in the birth of modern cities
B. the earliest civilization first came into being in the Middle East
C. all ancient civilizations around the world developed in exactly the same way
D. the development of agriculture played a very important role in human history
64. The text is mainly about _________ .
A. the importance of agriculture
B. the relationship between agriculture and mankind
C. the origin of agriculture
D. the ancient civilization

Do you want to improve the way you study? Do you feel nervous before a test? Many students say that a lack of concentration (注意力) is their biggest problem. It seriously affects their ability to study, so do their test results.
If so, use these tips to help you.
Study Techniques
l You should always study in the same place. You shouldn’t sit in a position that you use for another purpose. For example, when you sit on a sofa to study, your brain will think it is time to relax. Don’t watch TV while you are studying. Experts warn that your concentration may be reduced by 50 percent if you attempt to study in this way. Always try to have a white wall in front of you, so there is nothing to distract (make less concentrated) you. Before sitting down to study, gather together all the equipment you need. Apart from your textbooks, pens, pencils and knives, make sure you have a dictionary. If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying, store all your equipment in a box beside it.
l Your eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface. Position your book at an angle of 30 degrees.
l Be realistic and don’t try to complete too much in one study period. Finish one thing before beginning another. If you need a break, get up and walk around for a few minutes, but try not to telephone a friend or have something to eat.
Test-taking Skills
l All your hard work will be for nothing if you are too nervous to take your test. Getting plenty of rest is very important. This means do not study all night before your test! It is a better idea to have a long-term study plan. Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts for a few months.
l Exercise is a great way to reduce pressure. Doing some form of exercise every day will also improve your concentration. Eat healthy food too.
l When you arrive in the examination room, find your seat and sit down. Breathe slowly and deeply. Check the time on the clock during the test, but not too often. Above all, take no notice of everyone else and give the test paper your undivided attention.
65. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. You should study in a different place every day, so you don’t get bored.
B. Your concentration will improve if you study and watch TV at the same time.
C. Check the time during the exam at a certain time.
D. Staying up all night and studying is tiring, but you will learn a lot using this method.
66. What does the underlined word “it” refer to?
A. Your study desk or table. B. Your textbook.
C. Your dictionary. D. The equipment you need.
67. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. You shouldn’t look at everyone else during the test.
B. You will have enough energy to deal with your study and exams by eating healthy diet.
C. You’ll concentrate more if there is nothing to distract you.
D. If you feel tired during study, you can walk around for a few minutes.

On June 17, 1774, the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the Six Nations. The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College. In a letter the next day they refused the offer as follows:
We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are convinced that you mean to do us good by your proposal; and we thank you heartily. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be offended if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the college of the northern provinces: they were taught all your sciences; but when they came back to us, they were bad manners, ignorant of every means of living in the woods – they were totally good for nothing.
We are, however, not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them in all we know, and make men of them.
68. The passage is about ____.
A. the talk between the Indians and the officials
B. the colleges of the northern provinces
C. the educational values of the Indians
D. the problems of the Americans in the mid-eighteen century
69. The Indian chief’s purpose of writing the letter seems to be to ____.
A. politely refuse a friendly offer
B. express their opinions on equal treatment
C. show their pride
D. describe Indian customs
70. According to the letter, the Indians believed that ____.
A. it would be better for their boys to receive some schooling
B. they were being insulted by the offer
C. they knew more about science than the officials
D. they had better way of educating young men
71. Different from the officials’ view of education, the Indians thought ____.
A. young women should also be educated
B. they had different goals of education
C. they taught different branches of science
D. they should teach the sons of the officials first
E
Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you’ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn’t enough for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, don’t buy anything just because it’s cheaper than usual! “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients(contents) on the back. Third, compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand.
Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers don’t spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren’t very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.
Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.
72. All the following statements are true about the phrase “ordinary items” in Paragraph 2 except ____.
A. ordinary items never say “New and Improved” or “All Natural”
B. ordinary products are usually cheaper than famous brands
C. producers spend less money on packaging of ordinary items
D. the quality of ordinary items is usually as good as that of famous brands
73. What does the writer think about ads?
A. They are believable.
B. They are attractive.
C. They are full of misinformation.
D. They are helpful to consumers.
74. One of the author’s suggestions to consumers is ____.
A. to make use of ads
B. not to buy items with words like “New and Improved” or “All Natural”
C. to buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunch
D. to buy any ordinary items instead of famous brands
75. The author implies that ____.
A. going into the supermarket hungry, you may buy more than you plan to
B. the quality of ordinary items is usually high and the prices are relatively low
C. discount clothing stores are good places to go to
D. ads sometimes don’t tell the truth

第一节：情景作文
One possible version:
… About 65% of the students are against the idea. They think vending machines’ running all the time will result in wasting a lot of energy. The city full of vending machines and empty cans are only to spoil the beauty of the scenery. What is worse, school students may buy cigarettes easily, but cigarettes do great harm to their health.
On the other hand, 35% of the students think it is quite necessary to install some vending machines in the city. The machines keep working 24 hours a day, which brings convenience to the customers. People can get what they want everywhere at any time. Also, they don’t have to stand in line waiting to pay for only one can of coffee. Besides, vending machines do not take much space, so it doesn’t affect the appearance of the city at all.
In fact, nothing is perfect, so it is wise to weigh advantages and disadvantages at the same time before making any decision.

One possible version:
At the sight of Wang Ning, I felt a bit surprised, and for a moment, I didn’t know what to do. To avoid the embarrassment, I pretended to be looking for something in my bag when Lin Ping came to us. Suddenly I realized it was my best friend Lin Ping who wanted to give us the chance to make up. With a smile, I went up to Wang Ning and greeted him/her warmly. He/ She appeared very happy and talked with me excitedly. We had a wonderful time together.
It might be a pity if we spoil a friendship because of some trifles. Be nice to the people around, and you will have a happy life every day.
