Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

10、You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.（分数：10.00）_When we meet a person, our first impression is based on their body language and their speech. When someone goes up on a stage, or gives a presentation at a busi

11、ness meeting, many pairs of eyes will be following and judging this person. If you are up there and talking, you want to give your best impression. While many workshops and online videos focus on teaching us how to adjust our body language to appear confident and convince others of our message, less

12、 attention is given to how we phrase things. Speech should flow, but there is this one little bad habit most of us haveone that builds a dam in our flowing sentences. This habit makes our message sound as if we are building our foundations on quicksand. Do you know which bad habit I mean? It is the

13、habit of using that not-even-a-word in too many sentences, i.e., the habit of saying “uhm“something we generally are not even aware of. When we let this habit slip into our speech, it weakens our message, and our audience and clients will be less convinced of our claims. The nasty thing about “uhm“

14、is that it s often too tiny to even notice. It has become part of our expressions and virtually everybody does it. Therefore, it takes practice and effort to unlearn stuffing our sentences with it. To get a hold of your bad habit of using “uhm“ , you can try the following exercises: 1)Record your sp

15、eech when you prepare: 2)Write out your entire speech beforehand: 3)Take a moment to center yourself: and 4)Speak a little more slowly.

18、ing confidentIn the old days, when schools wanted to communicate with parents, they sent a letter home. Now, in addition to email, schools and parents can connect through social media like Twitter, Facebook and Skype. The Houston Independent School District in Texas has more than two hundred thousan

19、d students. Most of them come from lower-income families. Education Week recently reported on a digital literacy training program that the district has just started for parents. The school district with help from Microsoft has established computer training centers for parents at five of its campuses

20、. Other schools around the country are also increasing their digital services and not just in English. Many schools provide information in Spanish and other languages. Free online translation sites can also help parents stay informed about their children s education. Some school systems also give pa

21、rents online access to their children s grades and school work. Six hundred students attend Knapp Elementary School near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Principal Joe Mazza says almost one in five students come from Bangladesh and twelve percent from South Korea. The school diversity is clear as soon as

22、 visitors enter the building. “ So if you are walking in our school lobby, you are going to see English, Bengali, Korean, Spanish and all of the Finnish in the school.

But eight months ago our car was hit, and the damage was so bad it had to be given up. And that s when I had an idea. Why not just give up

27、having a car at all? The more I thought about it, the more sensible it seemed.

If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family? But

28、 my new car-free plan wasn t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were shocked. How would they get to and from university? (A bus, I suggested.)What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car“ ? (I wasn t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested they take

29、 the same approach.) My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. Wasn t a car essential, when you had children?

30、ere sure I d soon realise that a car wasn t a luxury, it was a necessity. Eight months on, I wonder whether we 11 ever own a car again.

31、tter served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. Do I really need a car?

36、 skin cancer! The diagnosis hit me like a ton of bricks. I was in my mid-20s and living a very healthy life. Cancer at that point was unimaginable. And, yet, it was all too true.
