11、ful opportunity to inform, persuade or entertain. The best speeches often take on a combination of all three of these components（组成部分）. However, before you can go about the writing of a great speech, it is important to set goals. Goals keep you，your speech and your audience focused.What a goal isIn

12、the context of a speech, a goal is the purpose of the speech, and what it hopes to accomplish. For example, the goal of a eulogy(颂歌) might be to celebrate the life of a loved one. The goal of a speech at a political gathering would be to inform the crowd about the political position of a candidate a

13、nd persuade them to vote and campaign for the candidate in question. Why a goal is importantWithout a goal, a speech is without direction. The goal informs the structure and content of the speech. For example, if a speechs goal is to convince people that smoking is bad for them, the speech will be s

14、tructured with persuasive arguments to back up the goal. A speech with a goal of informing the audience will keep the information fair and factual.A goal is incredibly important to the speechs ability to connect with an audience. If the speaker is unaware of the goal of the speech, the audience will

15、 likely be unaware as well. This severely reduces the effectiveness of the message.Aside from informing the audience of the content and structure, a speechs goal drives the speaker to greater heights. If a speaker is asked to speak on a specific subject, but never establishes the goal, they wont kno

16、w where to start in the research, organizing and writing of the speech._If you have been charged with(被委以) delivering a speech, establishing a goal can seem difficult at first. There are several things to take into consideration. First, think about who you will be speaking to. The demographic(人口统计)

17、of your audience will likely determine whether you will be able to persuade them, or whether they will be able to sit through. Second, think about the topic itself. If the topic is something controversial, it may worth your while to consider an informative approach to present both sides of the issue

18、. Finally, consider your resources. A speech with an informative or persuasive goal usually requires a great deal of research, and sometimes takes more time to write.21. According to the passage, what three components does the best speech combine? A. Informing, delivering and entertaining. B. Inform

19、ing, writing and delivering. C. Informing, persuading and entertaining D. Informing, writing and persuading.22. The goal of a speech at a political gathering might be _. A. to persuade the audience to vote for a candidate B. to celebrate the life of a person you admire C. to entertain the audience w

20、ith humor and magic D. to persuade the audience to buy new products23. All the following indicate the importance of a speech goal EXCEPT that _. A. a speech goal makes it possible for the speaker to achieve whatever he/she wants in life B. a speech goal can help keep the audience aware of the speech

21、 C. a speech goal can help the speaker know about the research, organizing and writing D. a speech will lose its direction without a goal24.Which of the following can be filled into the blank as the subtitle for the last paragraph? A. How to achieve a speech goal B. What to consider to establish a g

22、oal C. How to deliver a difficult speech D. What to consider to deliver a speech BThere has been much discussion recently about reducing the weight of English in Chinas high-stake tests such as the national college entrance examination. It is argued by some applauding the recent change to reduce the

23、 importance of English in tests so that it will lead students to focus more on learning Chinese. The TV program Writing in Chinese has exposed the problem that students and the general public cannot write in Chinese as they used to do.Some blame the design of the curriculum for giving English an equ

24、al or greater amount of emphasis, which might have contributed to the failure in teaching Chinese. But this is probably not a fair accusation since children in English speaking countries cannot spell either.I doubt that studying English in itself hurts the study of Chinese. In fact, high achievers i

25、n English or another foreign language are more likely to be high achievers in Chinese. It has been proved many times in recent Chinese history that those capable of using a foreign language are also masters in their mother tongue. Qian Zhongshu, Lu Xun and Lin Yutang are just a few examples.Another

26、trend of thought for curriculum reform is related to the perception of worth. It is true that English is one of the subjects that students do spend too much time on, with pitiful results. This makes some doubt if it is worth giving it priority. But this is not a sound argument either as students sti

27、ll need to study things that matter more to their future in spite of challenges learning English presents to them.Improvements in Chinese language education should not be achieved by sacrificing another important subject. There should be a robust(健康的) foreign language education program, as a foreign

28、 language improves a students future job prospects. Bashing(抨击) English education as a waste of time or using it as a goat for failures in Chinese education are both harmful tendencies.To be constructive, we ought to start a dialogue on ways to make improvements in learning outcomes so that students

29、 time learning English is spent more effectively. There are a few things that could improve English education, such as assessment design，learner motivation and teaching style，I am sure there are many other areas where changes can greatly improve the effectiveness and efficiency of English learning.

30、The public discourse at present is a little oversimplified. People are arguing for or against English having less weight in major tests, when the dialogue should be taken a step further, to the improvement of learning or teaching methods that may benefit the teaching of other subjects as well, Chine

31、se included.25. In paragraph 3 Qian Zhongshu, Lu Xun and Lin Yutang are mentioned to _ A. show respect for their capabilities of learning languagesB. confirm the importance of learning English in China C. prove English and Chinese are not contradictory D. tell the readers English Education is to bla

32、me26. According to the passage, which of the following statements is right? A. The TV program Writing in Chinese is very popular at present. B. Some are in favor of attaching less importance to English in exams. C. Good results of learning English are not worth so much time D. Sacrificing English ca

33、n improve Chinese language education.27. :In the writers opinion, what should be done to solve the argument? A. Increasing time spent in learning Chinese. B. Increasing time spent in learning English. C. Improving the learning outcomes effectively. D. Reducing the weight of English in examinations.

34、C Have you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child a bit of nostalgia(怀旧) or “blast from the past,” as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago. Researchers

35、at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages. Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them int

36、o three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listen-and-repeat” learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words. All three groups studi

37、ed words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered. Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages,

38、 such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed twice better than those who simply learne

39、d the words by speaking them. Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5. Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On th

40、e University of Edinburghs website Dr. Ludke writes, “This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”28. The “song” mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to

41、_. A. introduce the topic B. attract the readers C. recall the past D. compare the childhood with the present29. According to the passage which language doesnt share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages? A. Italian B. Spanish C Hungarian D. English30. Based on the last two paragraphs, we

42、 can conclude that _ A. a listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learner. B. the brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the words. C. singing is the best way to learn a language. D. Dr. Katie Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other.31. In which situat

43、ion can the finding of the research be applied? A. A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak. B. An American is going to learn some Chinese. C. A student is going to learn a new English song. D. A child is going to have his first music lessonDChinese media and Internet users on Monday condemn

44、ed a lack of morals in society after a toddler was struck twice by two different vans and left bleeding on the road as more than a dozen bystanders did nothing to help the seriously injured girl.The incident, captured by a surveillance camera and aired by Southern Television Guangdong (TVS), showed

45、the two-year-old girl was knocked down and run over by a white van on a narrow market street on the afternoon of Oct. 13, in Foshan City of Guangdong Province.The driver fled the scene of the accident, leaving the girl to bleed on the sidewalk. Over the next six minutes, more than a dozen people wal

46、ked by the girl, yet not one individual did anything to help her. The girl was then hit a second time by another van before an elderly trash collector came to her aid and brought the attention of the girls mother, according to the video and eyewitnesses.Doctors said that the girl, who was put on lif

47、e support after being hospitalized, remains in a deep coma. The girls parents, who are migrants living in the city, are now with her.Police said the drivers of both vehicles have been arrested. However, the apathy of the bystanders shown in the video has shocked the public, as Internet forums have s

48、eethed with anger, and people are questioning the morality of society.High moral standards were once triumphed as national pride in China where individuals known for selflessly helping others were adored by the public.But in recent years, the perception of a decline of morals has become a hot topic

49、as profit and materialism are perceived to be affecting societys values.On Sept. 2. an 88-year-old man in central China collapsed, his face striking the pavement. Yet, no one came to his aid, and he ended up choking to death on the blood from his nose.Some have linked the absence of good models to a

50、 previous case in which a man trying to help an elderly woman who fell was accused of harming her.A strong chorus of opinion on the Internet says laws should exempt（免除）models from responsibility, yet laws themselves cannot solve societys morality dilemma.Cao Lin, a China Youth Daily commentator, sai

51、d in a signed article published on Monday that the worry of responsibility should not be an excuse for not helping, and this case exposes the decline of humanity in Chinese society.32.

55、ents wait for a school boat to come down the river. Thats rightthese students attend school on a boat! Bangladesh is very close to sea level. 36 The flooding creates many problems.

56、 electricity, or telephones.Growing up in Bangladesh, Mohammed Rezwan was often troubled by the destruction. In 1998 he founded an organization called Shidhulai. The name means “self-reliance”. The purpose of the organization is to help the people of Bangladesh receive an education and also to bring
