    Many of Chinese students who have learnt English for more than ten years are still unable to speak English fluently when they meet a foreigner. They seem to have mastered the basic language structure, but a conversation in English will make them feel uneasy. They are afraid that other people might find out their mistakes.
    It is not uncommon that many students, who are bad speakers of English, can write English perfectly. This proves that they are not unable to organize their idea in English. The center of the problem is that they don’t have enough practices and confidence.
    Why should you be afraid? Do you fear those foreigners to whom you are speaking? Don’t be shy. They will not laugh at you just for a little mistake you make. The best to get rid of this trouble is to learn to speak by speaking more. I am sure that more practice will help you to succeed.

    Bamboo（竹） is one of the nature’s most surprising plants. Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass.
    Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist recorded one bamboo plant that grew almost 1.5 meters in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe（欧洲）. There are more than 1,000 kinds of bamboo that grow around the world on both mountains and plains.
    Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters（厘米）wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green.
    Many Asian countries have been using bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for building new buildings. As a matter of fact, the cables(绳索) hold up the hanging bridge across the Min River in Sichuan are made of bamboo. The bridge has been in use for more than 1,000 years, and is still holding strong.
    In Africa, engineers are teaching poor farmers how to find water using bamboo. These African countries need cheap ways to find water because they have no money, and their fields often die from no rain and no water. It seems that bamboo is one of the best things they can use. Bamboo pipes and drills(钻) can help to make the poor thirsty fields be watered.

    B．a bamboo plant may grow 4.5 meters in three days
    C．the bamboo plant changes its colors when it grows
    D．a bridge held by bamboo cable was built thousands of years ago
    小题4:Why did the engineers teach the poor farmers in Africa to make use of bamboo?
    A．Because it is cheap. B．Because it is colorful.
    C．Because it drills fast.D．Because it is used by Asians.

    The art of public speaking began in ancient Greece over 2,000 years ago. Now, twitter, e-mail, blogs and QQ chat offer approaches to communication— but none can replace the role of a great speech.
    The spoken word can handle various important functions: persuading or inspiring, informing, paying tribute (致敬), entertaining, or simply introducing someone.
    Persuading is used in dealing with or reconciling different points of view. When the leaders met in Copenhagen in December, 2009, persuasive words from activities encouraged them to take former action.
    Inspirational speeches deal with emotions. They focus on topics and matters that are close to people’ s hearts. Last year, during the fighting in Iraq, generals used inspiring speeches to prepare the troops for battle.
    Some speeches spread knowledge and deepen understanding. When the H1N1 flu was announced, the disease scared many people. Informtive speechs from World Health Organization (WTO) officials helped people to keep their panic under control so they could take necessary preventive measures.
    Sad events are never easy to deal with but a speech that pays tribute to the loss of a loved one and gives praise for their contribution can be comforting. Madonna’s speech about Michael Jackson after his death showed the fact that he will continue to live on through his music.
    It’s not only in world forums where public speaking plays an important role. It can also be helpful in the course of our own life. You may be asked to do a presentation at college or work to inform others about an area of great importance. On a more personal level, a friend may be upset and need comforting. Or you might be asked to introduce a speaker at a family gathering or to speak at a wedding, where your language will be needed to move people or make them laugh.
    Great speaking ability is not something we’re born with. Even Barack Obama works hard to perfect every speech.
    小题1:The underlined word “recociling” in paragraph 3 can best be replaced by “________”
    A．consideringB．questioningC．acceptingD．settling
    小题2:The passage mentions the H1N1 flu to show the function of _______
    A．persuasive speechesB．informative speeches
    C．inspirational speechesD．introductive speech
    小题3:The 7th paragraph mainly tells us that public speaking ______.
    A．is important in world forums
    B．can help us make more friends
    C．matters more in one’s life
    D．is helpful in our daily life
    小题4:What would the writer probably talk about following the last paragraph?
    A．How the speech came into being
    B．Why the public speaking is imporatant.
    C．How you can perfect your speech
    D．Why Obama often makes speeches
    小题5:What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．Tips of great speechesB．The history of the speech
    C．Functions of the speechD．The language of the speech

    With the new school year quickly coming near (or perhaps, for your early-starters, already under way), it’s time to get ready for a successful term(学期). And while you may be cleaning your wardrobe(壁柜), it’s equally important to freshen up(更新) your study skills, too.
    Have you ever noticed that your study habits are different from those of your friends? Or how you seem to learn faster in certain classes? Some people are quick to blame(责备) the teacher or subject(学科) for their difficulties, but that isn’t always the cause(原因). One thing that many people seem to ignore(忽视) is their learning type.
    Now, you may be wondering what a learning type is and how to find yours. There are three different learning types: Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic. You can be a combination of learning types, but most people have one main type.
    1. Visual learners learn best by seeing. If you seem to easily get information from pictures, graphs, and videos, you are likely a visual learner.
    2. Auditory learners learn best by hearing. If you seem to remember things by hearing them, whether listening to a lecture or repeating information out loud, then you are likely an auditory learner.
    3. Kinesthetic learners learn best by doing. If you seem to learn best by working with your hands or testing out what you are shown, you are likely a kinesthetic learner.
    So now that you know your personal learning style, the trick (窍门) is to find out how to use your new-found knowledge to help you in your classes.
    小题1:According to the speaker, why are some students slower than others in a certain subject?
    A．Because they find the subject too difficult.
    B．Because they have lost interest in the subject.
    C．Because their teacher is not good enough.
    D．Because they don’t know their learning type.
    小题2:Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “combination”?
    A．successB．mixtureC．wonderD．model
    小题3:Stephen loves science and usually does experiments with his classmates in the lab to test what he has learned. So what type of learner is he?
    A．VisualB．AuditoryC．KinestheticD．Both A and B
    小题4:What do you think the speaker is going to do next?
    A．To give further explanation to the three types of learners.
    B．To give clear examples of the three types of learners.
    C．To make a survey(调查) about the three types of learners.
    D．To suggest different study skills to different types of learners.

    Advertising is a highly developed twentieth-century industry. The development of radio, television, cinema, magazines and newspapers has gone hand in hand with the development of advertising. Why is advertising so popular? Is it a waste of money? It has been proved again and again that repeated advertising increases product sales. Since it increases production, the price can be reduced. Therefore advertising, instead of making a product more expensive, makes it cheaper.
    Advertising is now a scientific business. Once managers would say jokingly, " I know that half of what I spend on advertising is wasted, but I don't know which half." Now, all parts of an advertising program are properly measured and researched.
    What makes a good advertisement? There have been major changes in advertising in the past sixty years. People read advertisements partly for information and partly for pleasure. Today's advertisements often start with a question, or a puzzle, with the purpose of attracting the reader's attention. Of course, most advertisements contain information. But this is usually contained in a text that is interesting and often funny. Humor is very important. Sometimes advertisements tell a story, or the story may be continued over a number of advertisements. However, there is a danger in this. It is possible that the reader or viewer will remember the advertisement but not the name of the product.
    小题1:The purpose of advertising is ____.
    A．to increase product sales
    B．to make a product much better
    C．to spend more money
    D．to reduce the production
    小题2:Which of the following can be used in place of the underlined phrase "hand in hand" ?
    A．Here and there. B．Again and again.
    C．As usual. D．At the same time.
    小题3: What is meant by what managers said in the second paragraph?
    A．A11 the money on advertising was wasted.
    B．Not all the advertisements were well designed.
    C．A11 the managers knew about advertising then.
    D．Managers spent no money on advertising.
    小题4:What does the writer think of advertising?
    A．Useless.B．Unnecessary.C．Important.D．Wasteful.

    When I was at university,  I studied very hard. But a lot of my friends did very little work. Some did just enough to pass exams. Others didn’t do quite enough. Fred Baines was one of them. He spent more time drinking in the Students’ Union than working in the library. Once, at the end of the term, we had to take an important test in chemistry. The test had a hundred questions. Beside each question we had to write “True” or “False”. While I was studying in my room the night before the test, Fred was watching television. Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test. But that night he looked perfectly calm. Then he told me of his plan. “It’s very simple. There are a hundred questions and I have to get fifty correct to pass the test. I’ll take a coin into the examination room. I haven’t studied a chemistry book for months, so I’ll just toss the coin. In that way, I’m sure I’ll get half the questions right.” The next day, Fred came cheerfully into the examination room. As he sat tossing a coin for half an hour he marked down his answers. Then he left half an hour before the rest of us. The next day, he saw the chemistry professor in the corridor.
    “Oh good,” he said, “Have you got the results of the test?”
    The professor looked at him and smiled.
    “Ah, it’s you, Baines, just a minute.”
    Then he reached into his pocket and took out a coin. He threw it into the air, caught it in his hand and looked at it.

    [1]Keeping a busy social life among lots of friends may keep people slimmer than spending hours on a treadmill, according to scientists. They say that socializing and meeting with friends helps boost levels of ‘brown fat’ in the boby which burns calories to generate heat.
    [2]Living in a stimulating, social environment was found to reduce abdominal fat in mice by half over four weeks, even if they ate more. US researchers say that social stimulation can       
    by converting white fat into brown, White stores calories and makes us fatter, while brown burns energy to generate heat .Converting white fat into brown is difficult, as we all know, normally requiring long term exposure to cold conditions or activating part of the body’s nervous system
    [3]However, scientists from Ohio State University now think that having a busy social life is an even more effective way of changing white fat into brown, The team came up with their theory by studying the effects of various living environments on mice. Those who lived alongside a greater number of mice and had more space and toys to stimulate them lost far more weight over the course of the study than their ‘couch potato’ ones.
    [4]Study author Dr. Mattew During, whose team’s findings appear in journal Cell Metabolism said: I’m still amazed at the degree of fat loss that occurs. Explaining how new technology had threatened face-to-face socializing, he added: ‘It’s not just a sedentary lifestyle and high calorie foods, but an increasing lack of social engagement.’
    [5]Co-author Dr. Lei Cao said: ‘Loneliness is a profound factor for cancer and death; it’s on par with cigarette smoking. Social engagement is very important’.
