Recently I gave my adult students homework. It was “go to someone you love and tell them you love them.” It has to be someone you have never said those words to before or at least haven’t shared those words with for a long time.
It sounds like very tough homework since most of the men were over 35 and were raised in the generation of men that were taught expressing emotions is not “macho (陽剛之氣).” Showing feelings or crying was just not done. So this was very threatening homework for some.
At the beginning of our next class, I asked if someone wanted to share what happened when they told someone they loved them. I fully expected one of the women to volunteer, as was usually the case, but on this evening one of the men raised his hand, quite moved and a bit shaken.
As he unfolded out of his chair (all 1.85 meters of him), he began by saying, “Dennis, I was quite angry with you last week when you gave us this homework. Who were you to tell me to do something that personal?”
“But as I began driving home my conscience (良心)started telling me that I knew exactly who I needed to say ‘I love you’ to.”
“Five years ago, my father and I had a severe disagreement and really never settled it since then. We avoided seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings. But even then, we hardly spoke to each other.”
“So last Tuesday by the time I got home I had convinced myself. I was going to tell my father I loved him. It’s strange, but just making that decision seemed to lift a heavy load off my chest.”
【小題1】 The homework is threatening for some students because_________.
| A．they are middle-aged people | B．they are not macho enough |
| C．they were taught to hide their emotions | D．they didn’t know how to show feelings |
| A．the adult students have classes in the day time only |
| B．not all the adult students in the writer’s class are male |
| C．the man refused to meet his father after their quarrel |
| D．the man quickly decided to say “I love you” to his father |
st in meaning to_________.| A．stood on his chair straight | B．sat quietly in the chair |
| C．bent himself over his chair | D．raised himself slowly from the chair |
| A．He felt it too strange to say “I love you” to his father. |
| B．He felt relaxed just thinking of saying “I love you” to his father. |
| C．He felt very relaxed after saying “I love you” to his father. |
| D．He had to lift a heavy load off his chest before saying “I love you”. |

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從下框的A～F選項中選出能概括每一段主題的最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該選項涂黑。選項中有一項為多余項。
|
A. Be well- organised. B. Close with a Q & A. C. Don’t be contradictory. D. Bring it to a specific end E. Speak slowly and pause. F. Drop unnecessary words |
Speaking to a group can be difficult, but listening to a bad speech is truly a tiresome task—especially when the speaker is confusing. Don’t want to confuse your audience? Follow these suggestions:
51.
When it comes to understanding new information, the human brain needs a little time. First, we hear the words; then, we compare the new information to what we already know. If the two are different, we need to pause and think. But a breathless speaker never stops to let us think about what he or she is saying and risks confusing us. Slow it down. And breathe.
52. .
Sometimes we all start a sentence one way and then switch directions, which is very difficult to follow. When you confuse your listeners with opposing information, you leave the audience wondering what part of the information is right and what part they should remember. Instead of relying and keeping correcting yourself, work to get the facts clear and straight.
53. .
Jumping from point to point as it comes to your mind puts the onus (責(zé)任）on your listeners to make up for your lack of organisation. And it’s confusing for them to listen, reorganise, and figure out what you’re saying all at once. But going smoothly from one point to the next helps them understand information more easily. You can arrange things from beginning to end, small to large, top to bottom or by some other order. Just be sure to organise.
54. .
Repeated use of um, ah, like, you know and some other useless noises can drive an audience crazy. It makes the speaker sound uncertain and unprepared, and it can leave listeners so annoyed that they can’t pay attention. Recently I attended a speech that was marked by so many ums that audience members were rolling their eyes. Was anybody grasping the intended message? Um, probably not.
55. .
Many speakers finish up their speeches with question-and-answer (Q & A) sessions, but some let the Q & A go on without a clear end. The audience is often left confused about whether the meeting is over and when they can get up and leave. Do your listeners a favour by setting a time limit on questions, and close your speech with a specific signal—even if it’s something simple like, “If you have any more questions, you know where to reach me.”O(jiān)r even more to the point, conclude your speech with “Thanks for your time. ”

第二節(jié)：讀寫任務(wù)（共1小題，滿分 25分）
閱讀下面的一封信，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
Recently I took part in an English speech contest and successfully went into the final. That day, I thought I had done a good job. At that moment I even had a strong feeling of being the champion. But my dream was soon shattered when my final score was announced. I stood in the hall, feeling empty-minded and puzzled. My memory went back to when I was in junior middle school. I took part in a similar speech contest. I was too proud of myself. I was not well prepared, so it ended up as a total failure. But this time should be different! I had spent a lot of time tailoring each word. Why was it all in vain and I had to be a loser again? Very frustrated, I swore not to take part in this kind of competition again.
I was just about to leave when a well-known TV host suddenly said to me he did appreciate my speech. On hearing this, I was filled with mixed feelings---partly surprised, partly excited, partly sad, but there was one thing I am certain about---I did feel something warm and comforting floating inside my body. I never knew a few words and a kind smile could be so inspiring that I suddenly realized that frustration, sorrow, happiness and inspiration are treasures to make life more meaningful. It is these elements that make life real.

The boy sitting next to me was painting a heart, but it was 34 and lifeless. It lacked (缺乏) the bright colors that his fellow (同伴) “_35_” had used.
I thought maybe he took the only paint that was 36 and it just happened to be dark. But when I asked him about it, he said his 37 was that color. I asked him why and he told me that he was very 38 . He looked straight into my eyes and said, “There is 39 anyone can do that will help.”
I certainly 40 why he was sad. I said, “It isn’t 41 that there is nothing anyone can do to help. Other people may not be 42 to make you recover better…but we can do things 43 giving bear hugs (擁抱), which will 44 when you are feeling sad.” I also told him that I’d be happy to give him one 45 he could see what I meant. He immediately gave me a huge hug and I thought my own heart would burst with the 46 I felt for this sweet boy.
As the day was coming to an end, I was getting ready to 47 home. I turned around and found that standing there with 48 on his face was the little boy. He said, “My heart is 49 colors. It is getting brighter. Those 50 really do work.” On my way home I felt my own heart had changed to a brighter color, too.
