　　(2016·山西四校联考三)Last weekend I visited Rome for the first time. I spent three busy days in the Italian capital, seeing lots of tourist attractions and walking down streets lit with Christmas decorations. There are a lot of things I love about the city.

　　Rome is one of the most ancient cities in the world and is full of wonderful relics (遗迹) from its distant past. These monuments include the Roman Forum and the vast Coliseum where gladiators used to fight each other until death and hunt animals coming from another country. The ruins of buildings and temples are fascinating: you can't quite believe how old they are.

　　I studied the masterpieces of the Renaissance period at university and was very excited to see them in real life. I walked around the museum in Vatican City and saw plenty of famous sculptures (雕塑). The best part of the visit was, without doubt, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted in the early 16th century by the great Michelangelo. It was so breathtaking that I couldn't tear my eyes away from it.

　　In Rome, there is a lot of food on offer for tourists but some of it isn't of very good quality. I made an effort to find reliable restaurants to taste the popular meals of the region, like pasta with tomato, onion and bacon. I also love eating ice cream and hot chocolate under the Christmas lights.

　　Rome has not only lots of luxury boutiques (精品店) but also plenty of shops that were more in my price range! It was a perfect opportunity to go and buy presents for my family and friends. There was also a Christmas market, where I bought a sparkly decoration for the tree.

　　Ⅱ.阅读七选五

　　(2016·南昌市高三一模)We have all seen nervous presenters in classrooms and meetings. One effect of being nervous is moving from side to side. __1__ In fact the audience can lose interest in a speaker who does not move.

　　How a speaker moves is important. Whole­body movement should be slow and planned to command attention. Such movement helps to communicate confidence.

　　__2__ But they look at their notes on a paper or at the screen if they have an electronic presentation.

　　With posture, the typical problem for new speakers is that they are often moving back and forth, and they're not facing the audience. They'll often be facing the white board or the screen with slides and be talking to that rather than talking to the audience. The same thing with eye contact with the audience, they find it really, really difficult, because they'll be looking at their notes, they'll be looking at their computer, they'll be looking at the screen, or they will be looking at the floor. The problem of having notes and trying to talk from notes often is a big problem. __3__ The best way to avoid this problem is to use images and few words for notes instead of sentences. The image should help communicate the point you want to make. Writing a few words with the image on your slide helps you remember that point. Then you can look at the audience while speaking.

　　__4__ When you practice, remember these important tips: be aware of your posture, eye contact, and gestures.

　　__5__ Then step by step, you'll become an excellent speaker.

　　A．So they usually have eye contact with the audience.

　　B．So they have trouble with eye contact.

　　C．An important part of public speaking is practice.

　　D．New public speakers know that they should look at the audience while they speak.

　　G．Look for opportunities to speak and gain more confidence.

　　答案：1～5　EDBCG
