题目列表(包括答案和解析)

　　One evening after dinner, Mr．and Mrs．William called a family meeting．“We’ve had to make a difficult decision．” Mr．William announced．．

“You see, your mother has been offered a post as co-director of a television in Chicago．Unluckily, the station is not here．After thinking long and hard about it, we’ve concluded (下结论) that the right decision is to move to Chicago．”

　　Peter looked shocked, while his sister Amy breathlessly started asking when they’d be moving：“It’s surprising, but exciting!” she said．．

Peter simply said, “We can’t go －I can’t leave all my friends．I’d rather stay here and live with Tommy!”

　　Mr．and Mrs．William hoped that by the time they moved in August, Peter would grow more accustomed (习惯) to the idea of leaving．However, he showed no signs of accepting the news, refusing to pack his belongings (物品)．

His parents called Tommy’s house, but Tommy’s mother said she hadn’t seen Peter．Mrs．William became increasingly worried, while her husband felt angry with their son for behaving so irresponsibly (不负责任)．

　　What they didn’t know was that Peter had started walking over to Tommy’s house, with a faint idea of hiding in Tommy’s attic (阁楼) for a few days．But something happened on the way as Peter walked past all the familiar landscape of the neighborhood：the fence that he and his mother painted, the tree that he and his sister used to climb, the park where he and his father often took evening walks together．How much would these mean without his family, who make them special in the first place? Peter didn’t take the time to answer that question but instead hurried back to his house, wondering if there were any moving cartons (纸板箱) the right size to hold his record collection．

　　Accepting an award may seem like a simple task, but each year the Academy Awards(奥斯卡奖)proves there may be more to it than you might think．Oscar history has seen its fair share of memorable thank-you moments, good and bad．So the question remains：what makes a great acceptance speech? Here are three tips to keep in mind for your next shining moment：

　　1．Be thankful and simple．Make sure you thank the important people who helped you reach your goal．Don’t be too arrogant or full of yourself but don’t be so modest(谦逊的)that the audience(观众)thinks you are looking down upon the honor．It’s only natural to be a little excited, so use this to get on well with the audience．At this year’s Oscars, The King’s Speech director Tom Hooper told the story of how he only came to make the movie thanks to the help of his Australian mother, who was in the audience．

　　He showed grace and humility(谦卑)when he mentioned her：“So, with this tonight, I honor you and the key point of the story is, listen to your mother．”

　　2．Keep it short．Say as much as you can in as few words as possible．There’s no need to thank every single person you know．As Oscar producer Bruce Cohen warned people at the annual nominees luncheon(年度提名人午宴)before this year’s show, “Nothing is more dangerous than a winner reading a list of names．” Make each sentence meaningful and don’t get too carried away．

　　3．Finally, make the best use of your moment．Don’t be afraid to have a little fun and say something unforgettable Cleverness and humor will help your speech stand out in a good way and keep everyone entertained．Don’t make rude and unfit jokes, especially about others．Such jokes may get everyone talking, but you may be the only one laughing in the end．

　　This time, Melissa Leo’s use of the dirty word during her acceptance speech was the first in Oscar history．She said it before covering her mouth：“I really don’t mean to hurt the audience’s feelings．”

(1)

The underlined word “arrogant” may mean ________．
[　　]
A．	honest
B．	relaxed
C．	excited
D．	self-centered

(2)

To make a great acceptance speech one must ________．
[　　]
A．	thank his mother
B．	be careful not to say too much
C．	thank all the people who once helped him
D．	be humorous and funny to make the audience laugh

(3)

What is true with Tom Hooper?
[　　]
A．	He has an Australian mother．
B．	He thanked his father in the shining moment．
C．	He is the hero of the film “The King’s Speech”．
D．	He used some dirty words in his acceptance speech．

(4)

[　　]
A．	Giving a Thank-you Speech
