　　课时规范训练(单独成册)

　　训练(三十一)

　　Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节)

　　第一节　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　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 English­speaking 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.

　　初中学习网English language learners around the world use his book Speaking of Speech.Speaking of Speech tells about a method of teaching public speaking for non­native 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 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.

　　【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。在美国，学生从很小的时候开始，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做大型演讲。

　　Sandy：Really？The exam 1.

　　have been very difficult this time.

　　(fair)，doesn’t it？But，from 9.

　　I’ve heard，perhaps he worked too hard.He was ill during the week of the exam.

　　3．including。考查介词。including意为“包括……在内”。

　　4．one。考查代词。one of ＋名词复数通常表示“……之一”。

　　6．absolutely。考查词性转换。此处用副词修饰形容词。

　　7．a。考查冠词。student为可数名词单数形式，此处表示泛指，所填词意为“一个”，故用a。

　　8．unfair。考查词形转换。结合前后句子的意思可知本句句意：这似乎不公平，不是吗？故填unfair。

　　9．what。考查宾语从句。what I’ve heard是宾语从句，作介词from的宾语，what在宾语从句中作宾语。

　　10．that。考查同位语从句。that the head of the Department is leaving为同位语从句，是rumor的同位语。

　　Ⅳ.小写作

　　【写作素材】

　　1．什么是聊天？聊天就是令人轻松的谈话，在交谈中我们可以交朋友。

　　2．在聊天中，我们可以想出一些关于音乐、体育、电影等安全的话题；另外，记住使用积极的身体语言并且不要把目光从与你说话的人身上移开。(think of; in addition; look away from)

　　3．那么，我们不应该讨论什么？首先，小心不要说错话让人尴尬；其次，避免讨论政治和宗教；最后，不要总是炫耀自己，谈论自己。如果意见有分歧，最好变换话题。(put one’s foot in one’s mouth; awkward; avoid doing sth.; show off)

　　One possible version：

　　What is small talk? Small talk is a relaxing conversation in which we can make friends.In small talk，we can think of “safe” topics such as music，sport，films and so on.In addition，remember to talk in body language and not to look away from the person who’s talking to you.What should we not talk about? First，be cautious not to put our feet in our mouths and make others awkward.Second，we should always avoid talking about politics and religion.Finally，don’t always show off ourselves and talk about ourselves.If there is a disagreement，we’d better change the topic.
