At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, dont worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesnt really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther Kings famous speech I Have a Dream, you may notice that he stumbles (結(jié)巴)over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you dont remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performance. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speakers ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speakers attractiveness by making him more human.As you work on your speech, dont worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.1.The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will .A.be smarter than youB. know what you are talking aboutC.do better than youD. notice your mistakes2.You dont remember obvious mistakes in a speech because .A. you find the way of speech-making more importantB. you dont fully understand the speechC. you dont know what the speaker plans to sayD. your attention is on the content3.From the last two paragraphs, the author means that .A. giving a speech is like giving a performanceB. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is madeC.one or two mistakes in a speech may not be bad。D. the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be4.What would be the best title for the passage?A. How to Be a Perfect SpeakerB. Dont Expect a Perfect SpeechC. Dont Expect Mistakes in a SpeechD. How to Make a Perfect Speech.完形填空After an overnight trip to Sydney,I was heading home tired but happy.Stopping at a fruit market,I 1 a parking space and reversed (倒車)in.But then I was being 2 by one of these pedestrians (行人) for almost running her 3 over.The girl was actually a teenager,who was 4 enough to possess her own common sense.It is not the same as seeing a little kid running wild in a car park,where you would stop.After I 5,I walked up to the lady and asked her what else I could have done.6 she pointed out that I was heading into one car space but changed my 7,I told her honestly that I had never 8 the park in front and mentioned I had my reverse lights on.“So lets just put it down to a misunderstanding,shall we?”I 9,rather than fight her anger with 10 or more anger.She said “Yes,lets”,but showed me her angry face.An elderly couple nearby had seen it all and told me I had handled it 11 and that the angry woman was in the wrong.This offered some 12.While in the market,I thought about the 13.Had I responded to the lady in anger,then I would have ended up taking her poison on too.But by managing to stay 14,there was a totally different outcome.Car parks in summer are never the most 15 places to be anyway.Fuses (導(dǎo)火線) run short due to the 16 and busyness.People lose 17 in crowds.But if we are able to consider other people 18 only thinking of ourselves,it saves adding any more fuel to the fire.The car park incident left me with 19 and self-love.It left the other people with anger.I know which I would 20.1.A.madeB.choseC.enteredD.ordered2.A.abusedB.punishedC.interruptedD.forced3.A.sonB.husbandC.motherD.daughter4.A.strongB.smartC.prettyD.old5.A.restedB.noticedC.parkedD.decided6.A.WhenB.BeforeC.UnlessD.Though7.A.speedB.mindC.opinionD.position8.A.cared aboutB.given upC.intended forD.heard of9.A.beggedB.commentedC.suggestedD.explained10.A.sadnessB.unkindnessC.politenessD.friendliness11.A.wellB.quicklyC.wrongD.easily12.A.satisfactionB.comfortC.protectionD.advice13.A.journeyB.carC.incidentD.market14.A.excitedB.awakeC.curiousD.calm15.A.joyousB.cleanC.safeD.beautiful16.A.pressureB.noiseC.painD.heat17.A.weightB.balanceC.patienceD.face18.A.because ofB.instead ofC.in spite ofD.in case of19.A.peaceB.confidenceC.fortuneD.success20.A.allowB.offerC.demandD.prefer. 短文改錯Dear Ms.Li,Im very happy have you as our teacher.As the world is becoming a global village,English is getting more or more important,so mastering English means see the world through a new window.My English is just OK and the two main problems in my study is that I feel it difficult to learn words by heart,and that I often feel nervously when speaking English.I dare not speak English in front of the native speakers.I really hope that you can give me a good advice on what to memorize new words.Another suggestion is to give us more chance to practice speaking,for most of the classmates are good at spoken English.I believe we can make much progress in English under his help.Yours,Li Hua考點(diǎn)規(guī)范練(選修8Unit 4).【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是議論文。文章論述了書法教育的重要性。1.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段中的“I cant read this.”及“It was my best cursive.”可知,該學(xué)生不會讀草書。2.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第四段中的“John Hancocks was so robust and original.It is a work of art.”可知,約翰漢考克的簽名得到了高度評價,200多年后仍被一家同名保險公司用做標(biāo)識。3.B詞義猜測題。由上下文可知,受預(yù)算的影響,學(xué)校常放棄音樂和藝術(shù)課,卻保留危險的足球課。如果草書成為另外一個課程犧牲品,那對學(xué)生會是一大損失。故畫線詞的意思應(yīng)該是“放棄”。4.C推理判斷題。由最后一段“Thank you,Mrs.Shaw,for seeing so much in my handwriting.I needed that push.”可推斷,老師表揚(yáng)作者的話令作者很受鼓舞?！疚恼麓笠狻窟@篇文章主要講了不要期盼完美的演講，沒有人會注意到你的錯誤，有時一兩個錯誤也不壞。1.D 【解析】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)上文Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say.可知，沒人會注意到你在演講中所出現(xiàn)的問題和錯誤，故選D。3.C 【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段最后一句話Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speakers attractiveness by making him more human 作者認(rèn)為演講中的一兩個錯誤并不壞。故選C。4.B 【解析】標(biāo)題判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的句子It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech.可知，文章主要介紹不要期望完美的演講。故選B。.【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是記敘文。一次停車的經(jīng)歷讓作者意識到多為他人著想能給自己帶來心靈上的平靜。1.B根據(jù)第二段中的 I was heading into one car space,the park in front 可知,市場有很多停車位,作者“選擇了(choose)”其中一個停車。2.A參照第3題解析。3.D根據(jù)下句中的“The girl was actually a teenager.”可知,一位行人因為作者差點(diǎn)撞到了自己的“女兒(daughter)”而“指責(zé)(abuse)”作者。4.D根據(jù)本空前的a teenager及下句內(nèi)容可知,與小孩子相比,青少年已經(jīng)足夠“大(old)”了,她應(yīng)該有看到車子躲避的常識。5.C根據(jù)上文中的a parking space and reversed in可知,這里指作者“停好車(park)”后。6.A根據(jù)本句內(nèi)容可知,“當(dāng)(when)”那位女士指出作者的錯誤時,作者為自己辯護(hù)。7.B根據(jù)but的轉(zhuǎn)折語氣及作者為自己的辯護(hù)I had never.the park in front可知,那位女士認(rèn)為作者本來是向一個停車位開去,但是又改變了“主意(mind)”,向另一個停車位開去。8.C根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容可知,作者一開始就選好了停車位,所以從來沒有“打算(intend for)”停在前面的一個停車位上。9.C參照第10題解析。10.B既然雙方已經(jīng)解釋清楚了,所以作者“建議(suggest)”就把這件事當(dāng)成一個誤會,而不是因為對方生氣,自己就“不客氣(unkindness)”或者更生氣。11.A根據(jù)本句中的the angry woman was in the wrong可知,一對老夫婦目睹了事件的全過程,他們認(rèn)為是那位女士的錯,由此可推測,他們認(rèn)為作者把這件事情處理得“很好(well)”。12.B得到了別人的支持,作者應(yīng)該感到“安慰(comfort)”。13.C根據(jù)本空后兩句內(nèi)容可知,作者在市場里想起了這件“事(incident)”。14.D根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容不難看出,作者并未與那位女士爭吵,全程都很“冷靜(calm)”。15.A參照第17題解析。16.D參照第17題解析。17.C根據(jù)本段開頭的Car parks in summer及常識可知,夏天的停車場又“熱(heat)”又忙碌,絕不是什么“讓人快樂的(joyous)”的場所,人們很容易失去“耐心(patience)”。18.B本空前的consider other people和本空后的only thinking of ourselves是非此即彼的關(guān)系,故instead of(而不是)符合此處語境。19.A根據(jù)本空后的self-love可知,這次停車的經(jīng)歷讓作者得到了“平靜(peace)”和自愛。20.D通讀全文不難看出,在平靜、自愛與怒氣之間,作者“更喜歡(prefer)”前者。.短文改錯Dear Ms.Li,Im very happy have you as our teacher.As the world is becoming a global village,English is getting more orand more important,so mastering English means seeseeing the world through a new window.My English is just OK and the two main problems in my study isare that I feel it difficult to learn words by heart,and that I often feel nervouslynervous when speaking English.I dare not speak English in front of the native speakers.I really hope that you can give me a good advice on whathow to memorize new words.Another suggestion is to give us more chancechances to practice speaking,for most of the classmates are good at spoken English.I believe we can make much progress in English under hisyour help.Yours,Li Hua 6EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F375
