Back then,this trip required sailing around Cape Horn, which is the southernmost tip of South America. But Spanish explorer Vasco de Balboas disetvery offered hope, when he crossed the Isthmus Of Panama in 1513, he discovered how narrow it was. Only 80.5 km of land separated the Atlantic from the Pacific! The Spanish surveyed the area in hopes of building a canal. But the Meal governor decided it was impossible. Fast-forward to 1869, Ferdinand de Lesseps had completed the 163-km-long Suez Canal,a waterway linking Europe and Asia. France asked him to repeat his success at Panama. He agreed to try. When digging started in 1881, de Lesseps thought building a canal across Panama would be easy. But he didnt realize that digging in a jungle would be so dangerous. De Lesseps and his team abandoned their project after thousands of workers died from diseases caused by mosquitoes. American President Theodore Roosevelt luckily took over where the French crew had off.He bought the canal property and sent team of workers to finish the project. Led by John Stevens,the American team got rid of the mosquitoes. This effort helped the team of nearly 40,000 workers to stay healthy and productive. The team used gigantic steam shovels to make a path for the canal. But even with the help of such large equipment, the work progressed slowly. Finally, after nearly 10 years of non-stop digging, the canal successfully opened in 1914. The story didnt make the headlines, though. The public was focused on World War I. Therefore, the news wasnt dedicated until July 12, 1920. Since the canal first opened, more than 960,000 ships have traveled through it. The Panama Canal has become an important link in global shipping. A journey that took weeks now takes hours.46. Who first put forward the idea of constructing a canal between the Atlantic and the Pacific? A. Ferdinand de Lesseps B. Theodore Roosevelt C. Vasco de Balboa D. John Stevens47. What prevented the Panama Canal from being built in 1881? A. The lack of advanced large equipment. B. The deadly disease caused by mosquitoes. C. The poor planning made by Ferdinand de Lesseps. D. The shortage of funds.48. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph4 infer? A. The success of the Panama Canal wasnt reported by the news media. B. The success of the Panama Canal did not arouse much concem among the public. C. The public took the success of the Panama Canal for granted since it wasnt a tough job. D. The success of the Panama Canal was not significantat all at that time.49. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The Panama Canal brings great convenience to global shipping.B. It took a long time to finish the great project of the Panama Canal.C. A great many workers lost their lives when building the Panama Canal.D. The American team rebuilt the Panama Canal regardless of the former work.50. The passage is mainly about A. the history of the Panama Canal B. the canals around the world C. the position of the Panama Canal D. the ways to build the Panama CanalBImagine youre at a presentation. What do you picture? Certainly there is a speaker, projector and slides. The slides were most likely made using PowerPoint. What about the content: Does it hold your attention?Whether youre studying or working, youve probably seen many presentations. Think about the memorable ones. What made them effective? The answer probably begins with the presentations story.Apple CEO Steve Jobs gives amazing presentations. One of Jobs secrets is that he makes people feel like they are part of a story. He believes Apple products will change the world. His passion makes people love a product, not just want to buy it.When you prepare a presentation, dont start with the slides. Start with the story. Think about your topic:Why is it significant? How can you get your audience to relate to it7 What ideas or pictures will help your audience understand it? Communicate these thoughts, and your presentation will interest people.Slides with pictures, illustrations and some words can powerfully communicate your story.But be careful the slices dont harm your presentation. Scientists who study how people learn say people receive information in two ways: words and pictures. As you speak, the audience listens to your words and looks at your pictures. But, if your slides have too much text, people will read the text and stop listening.Keep the slides simple. Scientists also say people can only process a limited amount of information at one time. Use only words or pictures that relate to your speech. Dont bother with fancy clip art or several colors on your slides.These might distract the audience.Research indicates that body language communicates 60 to 70 percent of ones meaning.Practice while paying attention to your gestures, eye contact, voice tone and the way you stand.These things are essential to your presentations success.Now you know. So next time, give a presentation that will be one to remember.51. Apple CEO Steve Jobs is mentioned in the passage to illustrate that A. the slides are necessary at a presentation B.

Use expression in your voice.C. Withdraw your eyes from the audience. D. Use hand motions to express yourself.54. Why had the complicated slides better not be used at a presentation?A. Because the brain gets overwhelmed when trying to handle too much information.B. Because people have no time to write down too much information.C. Because people will lose interest in the long and boring speech.D. Because people merely pay attention to words and pictures that relate to the speech.55. The best title for this passage might be A. The Success of Steve Jobs B. How to Distract People C. The Way to Use Body Language D. Speak Through Words and PicturesCJargon - words used by a group of people that arent generally understood - has both advantages and disadvantages. Many professionals use specialized terms that help them communicate specific ideas that are hard to describe in simple language.Unfortunately, the use of jargon can result in confusion. This is especially true when speakers use terms that their listeners misunderstand or dont understand at all.The following examples of frequently used business jargon may help you figure out whats going on. But use them carefully; dont leave your audience struggling, to interpret what you are talking about. Water under the bridge refers to events of the past. Generally, the term suggests that the past should be forgotten, and that people should move forward. Example: Last years mistakes are water under the bridge.When people touch base, they get in contact with each other. The term is often used in reference to meetings, Example: Lets touch base on Thursday afternoon.On a companys balance sheet, red numbers indicate losses, not profits. Thus, when a company is in the red, it is losing money. Example: That new bookstore has been in the red for over a year. If it doesnt start to make a profit soon, it may go bankrupt.Something that fills the bill meets all of the necessary requirements. This term often refers to a proposal or job applicant. Example: We should hire Janet Lee to manage our sales Department.She definitely fills the bill.When a traffic light turns greens drivers have permissionto go. Thus if you give someone the green light, then you are giving them permission to proceed with a plan. Example: The boss gave me the green light to attend the sales conferences in Paris.56.
