Or, like a debater, with to 【2】 the judges or the audience? Or, like a fund collector for a naturalist foundation, wish to get money? Or, like a comedian or after-dinner speaker, wish to 【3】? The language and tone you use must be proper for your purpose, for your audience, and for the occasion. A speech to the graduating class will have quite different language, tone and manner from information delivered to a group of your friends.

Furthermore, however talented the speaker is, a talk without enough preparation is usually a failure. To speak without preparing is to 【4】 without taking aim. Decide what your aim or objective is; then state it in a complete topic sentence. Make sure that your subject is definite and not too broad.

【題目】 Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll have no trouble answering these questions.

Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child’s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的）to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.

The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they’d felt cold water at first.

Another block to awareness is the obsession(癡迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a "ruby-crowned kinglet" and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.

The pressures of "time" and "destination" are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. "Oh, a few birds," they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.

Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.

【1】According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more ____________.

A.anxious to do wondersB.sensitive to others’ feelings

C.likely to develop unpleasant habitsD.eager to explore the world around them

【2】The bird watchers’ behavior shows that they __________.

A.care only about the names of birdsB.are really attracted by nature

C.are very patient in their observationD.question the serving of the field guides

【3】The underlined phrase “bend on” in Paragraph 5 probably means “______”

A.Take no notice ofB.focus onC.come up withD.catch up with

【4】In the passage, the author wants to tell us we should __________.

A.open our mind to new things and ideasB.get rid of some bad habits in our daily life

C.fill our senses to feel the wonders of the worldD.try our best to protect nature

【題目】Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（選擇最恰當?shù)膯卧~或詞語完成短文）

The continuous presentation of frightening stories about global warming in the popular media makes us unnecessarily frightened. Even worse, it ________ our kids.

Al Gore famously described how a sea-level rise of 20 feet would almost completely flood

Florida, New York, Holland, and Shanghai, even though the United Nations says that such a thing will not even happen, estimating that sea levels will rise 20 times less than that.

When faced with these exaggerations (夸大), some of us say that they are for a good cause, and surely there is no harm done if the result is that we focus even more on tacking climate change.

This argument is astonishingly wrong. Such exaggerations do plenty of harm. Worrying excessively about global warming means that we worry less about other things, where we could do so much more good. We focus, ________, on global warming’s impact on malaria (瘧疾)—which will put slightly more people at ________ in 100 years—instead of tacking the half a billion people suffering from malaria today with prevention and treatment policies that are much cheaper and dramatically more effective than carbon reduction would be.

Exaggeration also wears out the public’s ________ to cope with global warming. If the planet is certain to be destroyed owing to global warming, people wonder, why do anything? A record 54% of American voters now believe the news media make global warming appear worse than it really is. A majority of people now believe –incorrectly – that global warming is not even caused by humans.

But the ________ cost of exaggeration, I believe, is the unnecessary alarm that it causes – particularly among children. An article in The Washington Post cited nine-year-old Alyssa, who cries about the possibility of mass animal extinction from global warming.

The newspaper also reported that parents are taking over effective outlets for their 8-year-olds’ concern with dying polar bears. They might be better off educating them and letting them know that,

related to common belief, the global polar bear population has doubled over the past half-century, to about 22,000. ________ the possible disappearing of summer Arctic ice, polar bears will not become extinct.

【1】A. exhaustsB. depressesC. terrifiesD. exploits

【2】A. for exampleB. in additionC. by contrastD. in short

【3】A. peaceB. leisureC. caseD. risk

【4】A. abilityB. enduranceC. willingnessD. preference

【5】A. smallestB. worstC. fewestD. least

【6】A. DespiteB. BesidesC. WithoutD. Except

【題目】 In the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.

My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.

Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.

You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo— a joyous zoo. Not surprising. I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.

The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.

In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree! I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember little steps add up to big dreams.

【1】When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be ________.

A. a writerB. a teacherC. a judgeD. a doctor

【2】The underlined expression “withdraw from college” in Paragraph 2 means “________”.

A. quit collegeB. graduate from college

C. start collegeD. leave for college

【3】Why did the author withdraw from school in her second year of college?

A. She wanted to study by herself.

B. She fell in love and got married.

C. She suffered from a serious illness

D. She decided to look after her grandma.

【4】What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?

A. Failure is the mother of success.B. Little by little, one goes far.

C. Every coin has two sides.D. Well begun, half done.

【5】Which of the following can best describe the author?

A. Caring and determined.B. Honest and responsible.

C. Ambitious and sensitive.D. Innocent and single-minded.
