Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2015·安徽省六校研究会联考)Students in American schools learn from an early age to give presentations (演讲) as part of their regular classroom activities. Children as young as five years old often give brief talks about objects they bring in to school
called “show and tell”，
and this training is a basis for later public speaking. Even so, many native English-speaking adults are afraid to speak or give presentations in front of a large group.
Speaking English in public meetings is necessary for many students and employees. The best way to improve is to practice public speaking in a friendly environment. Learners need to receive feedback about what they are doing well and about their mistakes. One group that gives members the chance to practice is Toastmasters. Toastmasters is an international organization that holds weekly meetings. At the meetings, members each give a speech and give others advice about their speeches and speaking style.
Charles LeBeau is a public speaking professor and consultant. He began his career in Japan in 1982. Currently, he teaches at two universities and at the Toshiba International Training Center. He has also written books on the subject.
English language learners around the world use his book Speaking of Speech. Speaking of Speech tells about a method of teaching public speaking for non-native speakers. Mr. LeBeau says a simple approach helps English learners.
“The approach that I've taken is to simplify and break it down. First if we look at a presentation, what's going on, there are basically three messages that the presenter is giving the audience, all simultaneously
(同时). There's what I call the physical message. Physical message is basically body language. It's the way that my body, as a speaker, is talking to the audience. And then there's also the visual message. The visual messages are the slides that we now make and show to the audience. The third message is the story message. The story message is the content of our presentation. So another way we can think of the story messages is that it's the verbal message, and it's what we say to the audience. The story message also includes how we organize our ideas to present to the audience.” LeBeau said.

B．Toastmasters is an international organization that holds meetings every two weeks.
C．Only non-native English-speaking adults are afraid to give presentations in front of a large group.
D．At the meetings of Toastmasters, members give not only a speech but also advice.
2．What are the three messages given in Mr. LeBeau's simple approach that helps English
learners?
a．the physical message
b．the visual message
c．the story message
d．the verbal message
e．the basically body language
A．abc
B．bcd

3．The book Speaking of Speech by Charles LeBeau is mainly intended for ________．

Ⅲ.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。在美国学生从很小开始，演讲就成为了他们日常班级活动的一部分，五岁的孩子就能够在班级里简短地介绍一些他们带来的日常的东西，这种训练也成为了日后公共演讲的基础。即使如此很多当地以英语为母语的人还是害怕在公众场合作大型演讲。
1．解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第二段“Toastmasters is an international organization that holds weekly meetings. At the meetings, members each give a speech and give others advice about their speeches and speaking style.(Toastmasters是一个国际性的组织，每周都会举行会议。在会议上，每一个成员发表演讲，并对其他成员的演讲和说话风格提出建议。)”知答案为D。

3．解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第四段“Speaking of Speech tells about a method of teaching public speaking for non－native speakers.(这本书介绍了母语不是英语的人该如何作公共演讲的方法。)”知答案为B。
4．解析：选C 标题归纳题。通读全文可知文章是关于如何作公共演讲的，从native speaker和non－native speaker两个角度谈论了这个问题，故答案为C。
Ⅳ.语篇解读：本文是一篇哲理类短文。在遇到生命中的挫折和失败时，很多人都会认为这就是命运，不会采取任何措施，但这难道是正确的做法吗？不！每个人都应该拼尽全力地为自己的目标奋斗，并帮助别人战胜挫折。
1．解析：选B 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。前句说到作者发现很多人在遭遇挫折后，会认为是命运使然，但后句指出“You don't have to suffer needlessly.(你并不需要承受这些。)”，由此可知此处是否定前句的内容，B选项的内容符合题意。
2.解析：选F 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。上文指出“...but we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams.(……但是我们必须自己尽全力实现我们的梦想。)”F选项的句意为“请记住有所付出才会有所回报。”承接上文，故F项符合题意。
3.解析：选D 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据句意可知，此处的内容与“Our time will come.”是并列关系，故句意应该是相同的。“Our time will come.(我们的机会就来了。)”与D选项“未来的某一天，事情都会好的。”意思相近，故D符合题意。
4．解析：选G 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。前句句意：“如果有个人的生活陷入了麻烦，你所做的是否仅仅是祈祷或是希望事情能好转？当然不是这样的！”G选项提出了正确的解决方法，并起到了承上启下的作用。
5．解析：选E 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。前句句意：“仅仅是祈祷当然是不够的，而是你应该尽自己的全力。换言之，不要仅仅是站或坐在那儿。”E选项内容是号召大家行动起来改善生活，符合题意。
