This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.So, you have to give a speech—and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”Cheep up! It doesn’t have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your实用文档research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to the m. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality e through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! Y ou’re not convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens.( ) 57. The main idea of this article is .A．that you can improve your speaking ability B．that a poor speaker can never changeC．to always make a short speech D．that it is hard to make a speech( ) 58.

高三英语上学期9月月考试题含解析 试题(共31页)
应县第一中学2021届高三英语(yīnɡ yǔ)上学期9月月考试题〔含解析〕第一局部：阅读理解〔一共20小题；每一小题3分，满分是60分〕第一节：阅读以下短文，从所给各题的四个选项A、B、C、D中，选出最正确选项AHave you ever had one of those days when all you wanted to do was read an emotionally powerful story that would cause you to tears? Most of us tend to be attracted by stories that reach us on multiple levels, including sadness. There are plenty of books that make you cry (and sometimes laugh) and that you can really sink your teeth into. Here are four of them.1. The Kite RunnerThis realistic and moving description of life in Afghanistan accounts for the people who were badly affected by the Taliban. You’ll cry as you get to know the familial relationships and cruelty involved, but you’ll also get a sense of hope as you quickly read through this appealing novel.2. The Book ThiefLet’s put it this way: Death itself is the narrator. The story is about a young girl named Liesel who has to live with foster parents during World War II. On the way to her new home, her brother dies, setting the gloomy tone for the story. There is hope, however, when Liesel discovers her love for reading and makes a relationship with a young Jewish man she helps hide from the Nazis.3. The Fault in Our StarsThis is probably the most likely book on the list to make you cry, as it records the experiences of teens who are dying from cancer and living their last days in love. Their lifestyle is tragic and disturbing at the same time, as we watch their health worsen. The real tragedy is the love story between the main characters, who know that their romance is fruitless.4. A Child Called “It〞Easily one of the saddest stories of abuse in recent decades, A Child Called It is based on the true story of Dave Pelzer, a boy from California who suffered at the hands of his cruel family. The tears will come from both sadness and the inspiration tied to Dave’s fight for survival in an environment where he is believed worthless.1. What do the four books have in common?A. They are all about cruel wars.B. They all probably make you cry.C. They are all about suffering children.D. They are all adapted from true stories.2. Which book is about a young victim whose family treated him cruelly?A. The Kite RunnerB. A Child Called “It〞C. The Fault in Our StarsD. The Book Thief3. The passage is intended to __________.A. advise us to buy some booksB. inspire us to read moreC. explain why we love readingD. introduce some moving books【答案(dá àn)】1. B 2. B 3. D【解析(jiě xī)】本文是一篇说明文。

Known as the melting pot of Eur ope, it combines the cultures of Europe with astonishing beau ty and fantastic food.Switzerland’s culture is a combination of neighboring states: F rance, Germany, and Italy. The result is a multilingual (多语言的) country, as eastern Switzerland speaks French, the south ern part speaks Italian and the rest speaks German.Like the language, the cuisine is also quite different by region. If you visit cities like Geneva, you’ll find traditional French dis hes like fondue and raclette, melted Swiss cheese served over bread or potatoes. Meanwhile, in German-speaking regions, like Zurich, you’ll find Rosti, a typical side di sh made from fried potatoes.However, if there’s one thing that unites the Swiss and the res t of the world, it’s their love of chocolate. Swiss chocolate fact ories are “the most luxurious in the world”, US travel blogger Sarah Schmalbruch wrote on Business Insider. Famous bran ds, like Lindt, are based in the country. Visitors to Switzerland can enjoy chocolate tasting sessions, and even take classes from master chocolate makers.Aside from the wide variety of food on offer, Switzerland also offers thrills. The Swiss Alps offer year-round skiing and mountain climbing with local experts. Beside s, you can visit the beautiful Matterhorn, known for its distincti ve pyramid shape and snow-capped peak. Standing at a height of more than 4, 400 meters , it is the most pictured mountain in the world, according to S mithsonian magazine.But if city culture is more your thing, you’ll find a wide range of museums and art galleries, not to mention the world’s largest teddy bear museum in Basel.Even the largest Swiss cities tend to be laid back (悠闲自在的), but with many adrenaline- pumping (肾上腺素激增的) activities and cultural sites, Switzerland is perfect for every taste. After all, where else in Europe offers you the culture of four different countries?4.The author presents Switzerland as a multi-cultural country by introducing its _________.nguages and foodB.architecture and foodC.festivals and architectureD.costumes and festivals5.Why are Sarah Schmalbruch’s words quoted?A.To show the history of Swiss chocolates.B.To prove Swiss chocolates are difficult to make.C.To show how delicious Swiss chocolates are.D.To stress the popularity of Swiss chocolates.6.What can you find in Switzerland?A.The safest skiing location.B.The most pictured mountain.C.The largest art gallery.D.The oldest teddy bear museum.7.Where can we most probably read this text?A.In a geography textbook.B.In a science report.C.In a travel magazine.D.In a personal diary.CThe new garbage sorting regulation has taken effect in Shang hai starting July 1. Many citizens are still confused about the c lassification of the four different types of trash. Thankfully, aut horities have released an official guideline to clarify the new r ules.The guideline, published by the Shanghai Greenery and Publi c Sanitation Bureau, provides a rather clear definition on the f our kinds of waste: recyclable waste, hazardous (有害的) waste, household food waste and residual (剩余的) waste. Hazardous waste, as the name suggests, includes assorted （混杂的） poisonous materials like used batteries, light bulbs, out-of-date medicines, paint and pesticides（杀虫剂）. Household food waste, which is translated to “wet trash” in Ch inese, refers to food leftovers, rotten food, pet food, fruit peels , remains of TCM herbs (中药) and flowers.Paper, plastic, glass, metal and textiles (纺织品) are counted as recyclable waste.The definition of residual waste is a little confusing. Anything t hat is not listed above belongs in this category.As specific as the new guideline is, residents still have a hardtime sorting trash correctly and are finding it challenging to m emorize them all. For instance, both plastic bottles and bubble tea or coffee cups are plastic materials. However, the former falls to the category of recyclable waste and the latter belongs to residual waste. To save the hassle（分歧）, some netizens have come up with their own ways to sor t trash.“We should do this from a pig’s angle,” commented one netize n. “Those edible (可食用的) for pigs are household food waste. Those even pigs don’t want to eat are residual waste. If a pig consumes something a nd dies of it, then something must be hazardous waste. Thos e which can be sold and the money we gain can be used to p urchase pigs are recyclable waste.” The new regulation has g one into effect on July 1. Those who do not sort their trash pro perly will be fined RMB200.8.What do the old thrown-away sweaters belong to?A.Residual waste.B.Hazardous waste.C.Recyclable waste.D.Household food waste.9.What does “wet trash” have in common?A.They are completely wet.B.They all come from plants.C.They can give off bad smell.D.They can break up easily.10.What is the tone of the netizen?A.Humorous.B.Serious.C.Delightful.D.Uncertain.11.What is the main idea of the text?A.Shanghai bans four sorts of garbage.B.Shanghai launches garbage sorting enforcement.（执行）C.Citizens in Shanghai still question garbage sorting.D.Citizens in Shanghai welcome the garbage sorting policy.DI have a degree in business. However, it was my father’s d ecision for me to follow a business major(专业). He thought that having a business degree would make m e more competitive and provide me with more available option s（选择） in entering a global marketplace. I took his advice. Howe ver,even though my college experiences were fantastic,I still h ad no interest in any field of commerce,let alone having a long -term career(职业)as a businesswoman.After I graduated,I worked as a marketing planner at a co mputer company. My pay and working environment were gre at; however,I still didn’t feel happy doing something that I wasn’t interested in. After two months of working there, I made u p my mind to quit and decided to do what I love,namely teachi ng English. I have now been an English teacher for over twent y years. I love my job and love being with my students.If you are in a place where you don’t love what you are lear ning or doing, please ask yourself what you are really enthusi astic about,and what you truly want for your life. Don’t rush to get yourself a quick answer. Take some time to think about w hat career could make you happy. The important thing is that you are happy and then you are able to bring happiness to pe ople around you. Therefore,you will be a success. There is a quote(引语) that says,“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. ”If you love what you are doing,you will be successful.12.How did the author feel about her major at college?A.Nervous.B.Doubtful.C.Disappointed.D.Uninterested.13.What made the author quit her first job?A.The dissatisfactory salary.B.Her sticking to her true liking.C.Her father’s desire and arrangement.D.The second job’s better working environment.14.Why is a quote used in paragraph 3?A.To show how to be successful in life.B.To introduce a way to find a good job.C.To inform the root of living a happy life.D.To tell the importance of changing jobs.15.Who is the text targeted at?A.Teachers.B.Parents.C.Job hunters .D.Top students.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）Imagine that you’re an actor or actress performing in a play fo r the first time.

Email is a useful tool but many feel controlled by this new tool. The average business person is getting about 80 emails per day and many feel that about 80% of the messages in their box are of little or no value.So, I have four suggestions to help you to bee better at “Erasing Email”1. get off the lists. The best way to deal with a problem is to never have it. If you are receiving a lot of unwanted emails, ask to be removed from the various lists. This would include your inclusion in unwanted lists.2. “unlisted address”. Just as you keep an unlisted telephone number that you share only with those whom you want to have direct access to , you might want to get a separate email address only for the important munications you wish to receive.3. check it once or twice per day. Many I speak with are being chained to their email server, monitoring ining email continuously. Maybe this is because email creates its own sense of urgency, but most of the munications are not all that urgent. I respond to them a couple of times per day.4. deal with it. As you open each email, do one of the following:a. if it requires a quick response, respond to it and delete it.b. if it requires a response but is not the best use of your time, try to find someone else to do it.c. if it is going to take any serious amount of time to respond, schedule it for action in your day planner and then download the message, save it, or print it out for future action.I personally receive about 250 emails per day and by practising the suggestions above, I can handle that volume in about an hour, taking advantage of this fantastic tool but not being controlled by it to make sure I’m doing more important tasks in my day.36. If you get unwanted emails, the best you can do is to_______.A. make a list of themB. put them into unwanted listsC. send them to a special addressD. ask to be deleted from different lists37. For the important munications, the writer suggests that you ______.A. have a direct access for themB. have several email servers for themC. get a separate email address for themD. get an unlisted phone number for them38. To avoid being chained by the ining emails, what you can do is to______.A. respond urgent ones onlyB. reply to all of them at the same timeC. handle them a couple of times dailyD. keep replying to emails all day long39. To deal with an email you get, you can do the following except_______.A. responding right away if it’s urgentB. downloading every email before you replyC. scheduling it for later reply if it takes much timeD. asking someone else to reply to it if it’s not at your convenienceBHere is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.In BrazilBrazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is mon for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face munication over mails or phone calls.In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it es to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality (守时) is vital, something that es from a deep respect for others’time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their panies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.40. The passage is mainly about ________.A. munication typesB. the workplace atmosphereC. customs and social mannersD. living conditions and standards41. Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?A. They put efficiency in the first place.B. They dislike face-to-face munication.C. They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible.D. They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.42. In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?A. When greeting seniors.B. When meeting the host alone.C. When attending a presentation.D.When dining with business partners.43. In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table?A. In Brazil.B. In Singapore.C. In the United Arab Emirate.D. In Switzerland.CMetro Pocket GuideMetrorail(地铁)Each passenger needs a farecard to enter and go out.

The research also showed that although social background has a noticeable effect on a child’s readiness for school, attending pre-school and having their parents teach them a wide range of activities have a positive effect---while extended exposure to television lowers their scores.“One message ing through loud and clear is that how a child learns in his very early years is critical (至关重要的) for a smooth transition into the educationa l system,” said Professor James Law. “This is a very positive message, as it gets us away from the belief that a child’s educational future is pre-determined by standard measures of socio-economic disadvantage, such as ine, housing, or the mother’s education.”Data from the study shows that children from a positive munication environment had a better expressive vocabulary by their second birthday. These children went on to achieve higher scores in language, reading and maths tests when they entered school. In the early years, the munication environment was a better predictor of children’s success with language than their general social background.Most children develop speech and language effortlessly, but some are slow to acquire these skills and go on to struggle with literacy (读写能力) and academic skills throughout their schooling. This project set out to uncover what factors contributed to these problems.Professor Sue Roulstone said, “These findings are an encouragement to all parents to provide a positive munication environment for their children from the very start of their lives. The project did identify particular aspects of the munication environment, such as having children’s books around and not having the television on too much. But the main message is that, as parents, we can have an impact on how our children learn to talk by providing a range of munication experiences. And the better our children are at talking by the age of two years, the better they will do when they start school.”48. Accordin g to the passage, what is the most important factor contributing to children’s successat school? _____.A. Their general social background.B. Being taken to a library as early as possible.C. Being involved in various activities.D. Their munication environment.49. From the research, Professor James Law concluded that _____.A. children could naturally have a smooth transition into the educational systemB. the very early years had a big effect on children’s school performanceC. munication with children after they were over two years old was more effectiveD. children’s educational future was pre-determined by their parents’ social position50. The study shows that two-year-old children who have a positive munication environment dobetter in _____.A. mathsB. readingC. writingD. speaking第四部分: 任务型阅读(共10 小题; 每小题1 分, 满分10 分)请阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

On August 26, xx, New York City was struck by a terrible rainstorm.
