閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.

So, you have to give a speech-- and you’re 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 no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again. ”

Cheer 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 time doing your research. Then spend plenty of 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 will help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. 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 come through so that you make person-to -person contact with your audience.

If you follow these simple steps, you’ll 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! You’re not convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens.

第二部分  閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)，滿分50分）

第一節(jié)  閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、Ｂ、Ｃ和Ｄ）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）

Most American colleges and universities take a spring break. Students might go home to their families -- or spend a week partying on a warm beach with no parents around. That is the popular image, at least.

In the United States, the lawful age to drink alcohol is twenty-one -- one of the highest in the world. Americans debate whether it should be lowered, or whether young drinkers would only drink more. In parts of Europe, the lawful drinking age for beer, and sometimes hard liquor, is sixteen. Yet France may raise the age limit for beer and wine sales to eighteen, the same as for hard liquor there.

Rules on alcohol differ from college to college in the United States. Many schools require all first-year students to take an alcohol prevention and education program, often given online. Some have a “zero tolerance” policy where alcohol is banned from all buildings. Parents are informed of violations and students may be suspended(停學(xué)).

At the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, permission is needed to serve alcohol at any event on campus. But alcohol is banned in first-year dorms---where most students are under twenty-one anyway.

Susan Davis, a university lawyer, says campus police and local police report underage drinking violations(違反)to the committee that decides punishments on a case by case basis. For example, the committee might suspend or expel(開除)a student. It might require an alcohol education program. Or it might just give a warning.

Jon Zug is a lawyer in Albemarle County, where the university is located. He says international students would face the same punishment as American citizens for underage drinking in Virginia. That includes a punishment of five hundred dollars or fifty hours of community service. But first law-breakers might be given a chance to complete an alcohol education program instead.

Schools have to report unlawful violations by international students to the Department of Homeland Security. International adviser Richard Tanson at the University of Virginia says even minor violations stay on a student’s permanent immigration record. He says international students should know that this can affect them in the future if they try to re-enter the United States.

1. What does the underlined phrase “by case basis” mean?

A. Depending on the seriousness of the case itself.

B. According to the report of the campus and local police.

C. Depending on the judgment of the committee.

D. According to the former cases in store.

2. To international students, which of the following may be intolerable once they have drinking violations?

A. A punishment of $500 or 50 hours of community service.

B. Being given a warning of being suspended or expelled.

C. Having the violations kept on their permanent immigration record.

D. Receiving an alcohol education program.

3. The passage probably appears in_________.

A. an advertisement                                                              B. a local newspaper  

C. a university guide book                                                       D. a popular magazine

4. The passage mainly talks about_________.

A. alcohol problems on the U.S. campus       

B. alcohol policy on U.S. campus

C. U.S. universities---zero tolerance to alcohol

D. the punishment to the university alcohol drinkers
