What a wonder! They've finished ________ 30% of the task within a week.


  1. A.
    no more than
  2. B.
    no less than
  3. C.
    not more than
  4. D.
    much less than
B
根據(jù)句意“真是個奇跡！在一個星期里他們至少完成了百分之三十的任務”，其中的“至少”應該用no less than，表示“不比……少；至少”．現(xiàn)將易混詞組作簡要小結(jié)： at least = at the least = no fewer than = no less than至少；無論如何 at most = at the most = no more than 最多
①no more than“僅僅；只有；只不過”，含有強烈的感情色彩，表示說話者主觀上認為“少”．反義： no leas than“有……之多”，=as many/ much as②not more than = less than“不到；少于”，是客觀陳述，無感情色彩.

科目：高中英語 來源：2012-2013學年江蘇省如皋中學高二10月階段練習英語試題（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

A speech is a wonderful opportunity to inform, persuade or entertain. The best speeches often take on a combination of all three of these components（組成部分）. However, before you can go about the writing of a great speech, it is important to set goals. Goals keep you，your speech and your audience focused.
What a goal is
In the context of a speech, a goal is the purpose of the speech, and what it hopes to accomplish. For example, the goal of a eulogy(頌歌) might be to celebrate the life of a loved one. The goal of a speech at a political gathering would be to inform the crowd about the political position of a candidate and persuade them to vote and campaign for the candidate in question（正被討論的）.
Why a goal is important
Without a goal, a speech is without direction. The goal informs the structure and content of the speech. For example, if a speech's goal is to convince people that smoking is bad for them, the speech will be structured with persuasive arguments to back up the goal. A speech with a goal of informing the audience will keep the information fair and factual.
A goal is incredibly important to the speech's ability to connect with an audience. If the speaker is unaware of the goal of the speech, the audience will likely be unaware as well. This severely reduces the effectiveness of the message.
Aside from informing the audience of the content and structure, a speech's goal drives the speaker to greater heights. If a speaker is asked to speak on a specific subject, but never establishes the goal, they won't know where to start in the research, organizing and writing of the speech.
______________
If you have been charged with(被委以) delivering a speech, establishing a goal can seem difficult at first. There are several things to take into consideration. First, think about who you will be speaking to. The demographic(人口統(tǒng)計) of your audience will likely determine whether you will be able to persuade them, or whether they will be able to sit through（一直坐到……結(jié)束）. Second, think about the topic itself. If the topic is something controversial（有爭議的）, it may worth your while to consider an informative approach to present both sides of the issue. Finally, consider your resources. A speech with an informative or persuasive goal usually requires a great deal of research, and sometimes takes more time to write.
【小題1】According to the passage, what three components does the best speech combine?

A．Informing, delivering and entertaining.
B．Informing, persuading and entertaining.
C．Informing, writing and delivering.
D．Informing, writing and persuading.
【小題2】The goal of a speech at a political gathering might be ________.
A．to persuade the audience to vote for a candidate
B．to celebrate the life of a person you admire
C．to entertain the audience with humor and magic
D．to persuade the audience to buy new products
【小題3】All the following indicate the importance of a speech goal EXCEPT that ________.
A．a(chǎn) speech will lose its direction without a goal
B．a(chǎn) speech goal can help keep the audience aware of the speech
C．a(chǎn) speech goal can help the speaker know about the research, organizing and writing
D．a(chǎn) speech goal makes it possible for the speaker to achieve whatever he wants in life
【小題4】Which of the following can be filled into the blank as the subtitle for the last paragraph?
A．How to achieve a speech goalB．How to deliver a difficult speech
C．What to consider to establish a goalD．What to consider to deliver a speech

I’d like to put it in my coffee.” Everybody stared at him. It was so strange! His face turned red but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked him curiously, “Why do you have this hobby?” He replied, “When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea, I liked playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee.
