Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking. 36 Do you want to be a good public speaker? Here are some principles you must master.People want to listen to someone who is interesting, relaxed and comfortable. Too often when you stand up to give a speech, you focus on the “public” at the expense of the “speaking”. 37 Focus on the speaking. Talk directly to your audience, be yourself and make a connection.Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes. Yet, the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking. People’s attention wanders constantly. In fact, most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker’s message. So, don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it’s a truly serious one.38Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker. 39 And like everything else in life, that takes practice. Remember, even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.40 It’s rare to hear someone say, “I wish that speaker had spoken longer.” On the other hand, you probably can’t count the times that you’ve thought, “I’m glad that talk is over. It seemed to go on forever!” So surprise your audience. Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated. It’s better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech f inally to end.A.Do the opposite.B.You want to be an effective public speaker.C.You don’t need to apologize for a minor slip.D.When it comes to public speaking, less is usually more.E.The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience.F.However, the majority of effective speakers are trained to be.G.Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners.四川省成都市简阳市阳安中学2021-2022学年高二下学期期中考试英语试卷第二节（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, 选项中有两项为多余选项。

ABeijing is the first city ever to hold both Summer and Winter Olympic Games. Now, let’s take a look at some of the most popular events in the Winter Olympic Games.Figure skatingFigure skating is one of the most popular sports at the Winter Olympics, where ice skaters, singly or in pairs, perform freestyle movements of jumps, spins, lifts, and footwork in a graceful manner. The figure skating competition is one of the fiercest at the Winter Olympics. To win the game, the skater can’t make any mistakes.CurlingCurling is one of the most unique sports at the Winter Olympics — a winter sport played by two teams of four players on a rectangular sheet of ice. The two teams take turns to slide large round flat stones towards a target. Members of each team use brooms to sweep the surface of the ice in the path of the stone to control its speed and direction.And while curling may be a “slow” sport, it’s still full of skill, suspense and excitement!SnowboardingSnowboarding is a popular winter sport that involves sliding downhill on snow with a snowboard firmly attached to a rider’s feet. The sport is said to have been inspired by surfing, skiing and skateboarding, as an alternative to alpine skiing (高山滑雪).While snowboarding is one of the newer events — first included at the 1998 Winter Olympics, it has become one of the most popular and exciting sports at the Winter Olympics.Ice hockeyIce hockey is a game between two teams who wear skates and compete on an ice rink (溜冰场). Each team usually has six players. The object is to push the puck (冰球) past a goal line and into a net guarded by a goalkeeper. Ice hockey is popular for its speed and frequent physical contact. Worldwide there are more than a million registered ice hockey players performing regularly in leagues.26.Figure skates ought to be ________.A. elegant and faultlessB. inspiring and excitingC. skillful and defensiveD. calm and fashionable27. Which of the winter sports mentioned above involves team work?A. Figure skating and Curling.B. Curling and Ice hockey.C. Snowboarding and Figure skating.D. Snowboarding and Ice hockey.28. What do we know about these winter sports from the passage?A. Snowboarding originated from skiing, surfing and shooting.B. Figure skating enjoys the greatest popularity.C. Over a million become ice hockey league members each year.D. The curling ice path is brushed to help the stone slide.BI fell in love with music from a young age and often sat down making a few songs of my own.What would life be like, I wondered, without a beautiful song? In 1992, I made two love songs to my darling wife and watched tears run down her face as I sang.“Sam,” she said earnestly, “Your songs should be heard by more people.”She got my ballads and started bothering various media people about me, her singing barber husband.Two radio stations took an interest and played the songs.After the programme was aired, I became known in our community as the Singing Barber.The biggest surprise, however, was still to come.I received a call from a music promoter who offered me a long-term recording contract.He explained that he would be investing a lot of money to market my songs.I needed to be wholly focused on selling my records all over Australia.But I hesitated.My friends all told me to go for it.And Mary also thought I should do.“Go, Sam.I’ll manage with the family...it’ll be OK.”I watched my daughter and son playing in the backyard.Soon they would both be in high schooland where would I be? I was so used to my family turning to me for love and support.If I were to start a singing career, I would not only miss them terribly, I’d also certainly miss out on watching them grow up.Signing this contract would put a huge gap between my family and meand I couldn’t bear it.My family was my life.So I refused the music promoter’s offer.I’m still making music. I'm rich in love and I have no regrets.29.When the author was offered the contract, most of his friends _______.A.envied himughed at himC.encouraged himD.didn’t believe him30.Why did the author give up the contract?A.Because his wife was strongly against it.B.Because the pay was not attractive enough.C.Because he wanted to care about his two kids.D.Because he didn’t want his family life damaged.31.According to the passage, we can infer that the author _______.ed to be a country singerB.preferred his present lifeC.went on the road to fameD.regretted giving up his contract32. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?A. One should know himself.B. Interest is the best teacher.C. Family should come first.D. Every dog has its day.CNearly two years after the COVID-19 outbreak, China has granted approval to its first antibody combination therapy for COVID-19 treatment, adding a tool to the world’s fight against the di sease.A team from Tsinghua University, along with the Shenzhen People’s Hospital,has accomplished the task in 20 months. It would usually take 10 years. “It can reduce the rate of hospitalization and death by 80 percent,” said Zhang Linqi, leader of the r esearch team.The new antibody drug is immediately effective after being used. Moreover, the therapy can protect people, especially those whose physical condition doesn’t allow vaccination (接种疫苗), from becoming infected(感染) by COVID-19 for around 9 to 12 months, said Zhang.How does it work? When a virus infects a cell, it relies on an important type of protein: the spike proteins (刺突蛋白) on its surface. The spike proteins serve as a key to unlocking a cell. If a virus cannot enter a cell, it will disappear immediately. The job of our antibodies is to block the virus from entering cells. So its target is very precise. In addition, thanks to the coordination between the two antibodies, it is highly efficient in preventing the virus, according to Zhang. The qualities of the new drug make it especially useful for high-risk groups, such as frontline medical workers and people not suitable for vaccination due to various underlying health problems.The new drug is expected to come to the market soon, but it’s not cheap. That’s because of limited production. Noting that China has used science and technology to fight COVID-19 since the beginning of the outbreak, Zhang said, “Science is the key to solving the issue. Science has shown its power in all sectors, from medical treatment, medicine and vaccine development to prevention and control measures.”33. What can we know about the new therapy according to paragraph 1 and paragraph 2?A. It’s the first way to treat COVID-19.B. It dramatically improves the survival rate of patients.C. It takes researchers 10 years to develop the new drug.D. It was developed by the team from one of China’s top universities.34. Which statement does the author probably agree with?A. Only medical workers can take this drug.B. Antibodies stop spike proteins entering a cell.C. The new drug takes effect after a period of use.D.The new drug can protect people from infection for life.35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. It is easy to produce the drug.B. The new drug has been put into use.C. Zhang thought highly of the power of science.D. China is the first country to use technology to fight disease.36. Where does the text probably come from?A. A textbook.B. An educational magazine.C. A medical journal.D. A tourist guide.DAs people get older, the types of friends they have tend to change. As young adults, humans have a lot of friends. With age, they often prefer to spend their time with just a few close, positive individuals. Researchers long believed that this change was unique to humans, but a new study finds that chimps(黑猩猩) also have similar tendencies.One explanation for the humans to get picky about social connections has to do with awareness oftheir limited lifetime. “People monitor how mu ch time they have left in their life and choose emotionally-fulfilling relationships in old age,”says one of the study’s lead authors Alexandra G. Rosati.As people age, they don’t want to be surrounded by a large group of negative friends, but would prefer to be near a handful of optimistic individuals.Rosati and her colleagues were curious whether chimps would show similar features even though they don’t seem to be aware of their upcoming death. Researchers used 78,000 hours of observations made over 20 years from the Kibale Chimpanzee Project in Uganda. The data looked at the social interactions of 21 male chimps between 15 and 58 years old. The researchers only studied male chimps because they show stronger social bonds and have more social interactions than female chimps.Researchers found that wild chimpanzees share a similar pattern.“They interact with others more positively ways as they get older. Younger adults, in contrast,show more aggression and were more likely to form one-sided relationships where their partner did not reciprocate.”says Rosati. For example, the older chimpanzees would sit close to their long-time companions and groom(梳理毛发) each other, while younger chimps had more one-sided relationships where they would groom a friend, but the action wasn’t returned. The study was published in the journal Science.This aging pattern may be the result of shared changes in our abilities to manage our emotions with age,”Rosati says.“This shared pattern between chimpanzees and humans could represent an adaptive response where older adults focus on important social relationships that provide benefits and avoid interactions that have negative consequences as they lose competitive fighting ability.”37.Why do humans change their preference for friends in old age?A.They don’t like making new friends.B.Their friends pass away one by one.C.They adapt to the changes in nature.D.They know their life is running out.38. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. How the study was carried out.B. How scientists proved their assumption.C. How hard it was to observe the chimps.D. Why male chimps are unaware of upcoming death.39.What does the underlined word“reciprocate”in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Repay their kindness.B. Take care of them.C. Get along well with them.D. Sit close to them.40.Which can be a suitable title for the text?A.People Prefer Positive Partners in Old AgeB.Positive Bonds Benefit Chimps in Many WaysC.Aging Chimps like Us Get Picky About FriendsD. Chimps Share Similar Tendencies with Humans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，选项中有两项为多余项。

A.We travel the world to experience an unfamiliar culture. It’s an added bonus when the destination happens to be home to several cultures, thanks to its diverse population.TorontoToronto happens to be one of the most diverse in the world. In fact, nearly half of Toronto’s residents were born in another country. This cultural mix is most apparent in the city’s community po ckets, including Chinatown, Greektown, Little Italy etc. And although English is most widely spoken here, the streets are constantly filled with over 140 different languages.Los AngelesLos Angeles is known and loved for its varied landscape, which offers opportunities to swim at the beach, hike in the park and explore a lively city all on the same day. That diversity also extends to its population—people from approximately 140 countries, speaking 86 different languages call the City of Angeles home where visitors can get a taste of multicultural mix.SydneyEnglish-speaking visitors to Sydney won’t have any trouble buying their tickets to the Opera House or ordering up some Aussie barbecue, as it’s the main language used here. That said, it’s not the only language you may overhear. Approximately 250 different dialects are spoken in this Australian city. This makes sense, given that 40 percent of the population were born overseas.SingaporeSingapore might be small, but it packs in a lot of diversity. The Southeast Asian destination has four official languages—English, Malay, Mandarin and Tamil—and approximately 40 percent of its population were born abroad.1. Where can people enjoy fascinating scenery?A．In Singapore. B．In Toronto.C．In Sydney. D．In Los Angeles.2. What do these four cities have in common?A．People speak other languages besides English.B．Travelers can kill time on the beach.C．The majority of residents are Chinese.D．More than half of the population were born overseas.3. The text is probably helpful for those who are interested in ________.A．language teaching B．reading and writingC．touring and culture D．cooking and swimmingB.Kevin, diagnosed with Dyslexia(读写困难症), rarely spoke a word in class, and if he did, it would be a “ Yes,” “No,” or “Maybe,” in response to questions. He always scored badly in tests and saw no hope for the future. That was until he met Sarah, an advisor at a youth center.In 2012, Kevin attended a course called Ready Set Go in that center. The course was for disadvantaged kids in Kingswood – a low-income area in Sydney’s western suburbs – and its goal was to teach the kids how to create businesses and offer value to the neighborhood.At the end of the course, Sarah took the kids to the local area. She asked volunteers to share their business experiences – Kevin immediately put up his hand. His challenge was to trade his hotdog selling service for freebread at a bakery. Although scared, Kevin was able to share his entrepreneur(创业) story with the shop owner and asked if he could exchange his service for some bread. Unexpectedly, the shop owner told Kevin how moved he was by his story and handed him some bread for free. By the end of the afternoon, his belief in himself and what was possible was at an all- time high.The following week, Kevin sold 70 hotdogs in two hours and made over $200. Soon after, he delivered public speeches in 20 schools, and was selected as part of his school’s leadership team. Now he heads a business group working on how to increase potential customer base.All of his would not have been possible if Kevin had not found his passion and perseverance to improve himself, and those around him. The guidance and trust of his advisor also helped to kindle his enthusiasm to go after his goals and dreams in life.4. What were the kids expected to achieve in the Ready Set Go course?A．To improve their test scores. B．To create a hot- dog business.C．To teach in low-income areas. D．To be beneficial to the local area.5. How did Kevin feel after visiting the local bakery?A．Scared. B．ConfidentD．Grateful.C．Touched.6. What does the underlined word “kindle” in the last paragraph probably mean?A．Inspire B．Share.C．Continue. D．Express.7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A．On the Road to RecoveryB．Turning Failure into Success.C．Growing Wealthy through Hard Work.D．From Hopeless Youth to Business LeaderC.The arm bones of women who lived 7,000 years ago show a surprising level of strength--even higher than today's professional athletes. That's according to a first-ever study comparing prehistoric(史前的) bones to those of living people. The finding suggests a revision of history- the everyday lives of prehistoric women were filled with hard labor, rather than just sitting at home doing lighter tasks while the men struggled and fought for life.“Before the study, there are no clear records describing how our ancient ancestors lived. It can be easy to forget that bone is a living tissue, one that responds to the difficulties we put our bodies through,” said lead author Alison Macintosh. “Physical force and muscle activity both put pressure on the bone. The bone reacts by changing in shape, thickness and other aspects over time.”Previous studies only compared female bones to contemporary male bones, the researchers said-and that's a problem, because the response of male bones to stress and change is much bigger than that of women. For instance, as humans moved from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle constantly on the move to a more settled agrarian(农耕的) one, changes can be observed in the structure of the shinbone(胫骨)- and these changes were much more evident in men.However, a comparison of the bones of prehistoric women to the bones of living female athletes can help us work out a more accurate picture of what those prehistoric women were doing. "By analyzing the bones of living people and comparing them to the ancient bones, we can start to explain the kinds of labor our ancestors were reforming, Macintosh said. What they found was that women's leg strength hasn't changed a great deal, but their arms used to be very powerful.

The total basket of symptoms included fever, persistent cough, fatigue, diarrhea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and loss of smell and taste."When combined with other symptoms, people with loss of smell and taste appear to be three times more likely to have contracted COVID-19 according to our data, and should therefore self-isolate for seven days to reduce the spread of the disease," Tim Spector, the King's College professor who led the study, told the Reuters news agency.However, the team said that a loss of smell and taste can also be an indicator of other infections(感染), such as a common cold, so not everyone with those symptoms will have COVID-19.They said a high fever and persistent cough remain the most important indicators of COVID-19 and the loss of smell and taste should only be noted if they are in combination with other symptoms. So far, Public Health England and the World Health Organization said more research is needed.12. The list of well-known indicators of COVID-19 does not include _______.A. high temperatureB. persistent dry coughC. a loss of the sense of hearingD. sore throat13. What can we learn from Tim Spector’s quote?A. People who have lost the sense of smell and taste should self-isolate for 7 days.B. His team developed a mathematical model to find out the positive cases.C. A loss of smell and taste can also be an indicator of other infections.D. A loss of smell and taste alone can be used as an indicator of COVID-19.14. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The data was collected through an app within two weeks.B. People who can’t smell or taste must have contracted COVID-19.C. A loss of smell and taste should be considered as one of the indicators of contracting the virus.D. Patients of COVID-19 are more likely to lose the sense of smell than those with a common cold.15. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. A common cold and COVID-19.B. Why we lost the ability of smell and taste.C. What we should do during the COVID-19 pandemic.D. New probable symptoms of COVID-19.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，选项中有两项为多余项。
