At some point in every speech, every speaker says somethingthat 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, don’t worry a bout them. Just continue as if nothing happened. Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn’t really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King’s famous speech—“I have a dream”, you may notice that he stumbles over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don’t 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 mistakes 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 speec h that expresses the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker’s attractiveness by making him more human.As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.25. The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will _________.A. be smarter than youB. do better than youC. notice your mistakesD. know what you are talking about26. You don’t remember obvious mistakes in a speech because _________.A. you find the way of speech-making more importantB. you don’t fully understand the speechC. you don’t know what the speaker plans to sayD. you attention is on the content27. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A. one or two mistakes in a speech may not be badB. giving a speech is like giving a performanceC. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is madeD.the more mistake a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be28. What would be the best title for the passage?A. How to Be a Perfect SpeakerB. How to Make a Perfect SpeechC. Don’t Expect Mistakes in a SpeechD. Don’t Expect a Perfect SpeechCI travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks（地标）in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north tw o miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from he re.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!29. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usually _________.A. describe the place carefullyB. refer to recognizable buildings and placesC. show him a map of the placeD. tell him the names of the streets30. Which is the place where people measure distance in time?A. New York.B. Kansas.C. Los Angeles.D. Iowa.31. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________.A. in order to save timeB. as a testC. for funD. so as to be polite32. What can we infer from the text?A. It’s useful for traveler s to know how to ask the way properly.B. People have similar understandings of politeness.C. It’s important for travelers to understand cultural differences.D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.DThe other day in school we were discussing jobs. Our teacher, Mrs. Bolt, said that vocations were very important and that it was never too early to think about your life’s work. Most of the children really weren’t too sure about what they wanted to be. But I knew exactly what I wanted to be, an d when Mrs. Bolt asked me, I replied “A truck driver.”“A truck driver,” repeated Mrs. Bolt. “Why do you want to be a truck driver, Kenneth?”“Because truck drivers are always on the move. They don’t have to sit at desks all day. They’re out on the ro ad and they see a lot of the country. The pay is good, too. And you never have any homework.”The class laughed.“Well, Kenneth,”answered Mrs. Bolt. “You certainly sound enthusiastic. I guessed that you don’t like sitting at a desk or doing homework. Is that correct, Kenneth?”“Yes, I guess so,” I said.“Well, since you are so interested in becoming a truck driver, I think you should investigate the field a little further. I want you to go to the library and take out a book on truck driving. And I want you to write a book report on it and hand it at the end of the month.”“That’s the last time I’ll ever tell anybody my secret ambition!”33. The word “vocations” in the first paragraph here means _____.A. worksB. jobsC. holidaysD. ambition34. Why did Mrs. Bolt ask Kenneth to write the book report? Because _____.A.she wanted him to learn about the other side of truck drivingB.she was angry with himC.she was not satisfied with the reasons he gaveD.she wanted the whole class to follow his example35.

Kenneth enjoyed sitting at a desk doing his lessons.D. Mrs. Bolt wanted Kenneth to write a book report.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
