1、 Passage 1: Accepting an award may seem like a simple task, but each year the Academy Awards(奥斯卡奖) proves there may be more to it than you might think. Oscar history has seen its fair share of memorable thank-you moments, good and bad. So the question remains: what makes a great acceptance speech? H
2、ere are three tips to keep in mind for your next shining moment:1. Be thankful and simple. Make sure you thank the important people who helped you reach your goal. Dont be too arrogant or full of yourself but dont be so modest(谦逊的) that the audience(观众) thinks you are looking down upon the honor. It
3、s only natural to be a little excited, so use this to get on well with the audience. At this years Oscars, The Kings Speech director Tom Hooper told the story of how he only came to make the movie thanks to the help of his Australian mother, who was in the audience. He showed grace and humility(谦卑)
4、when he mentioned her: “So, with this tonight, I honor you and the key point of the story is, listen to your mother.”2. Keep it short. Say as much as you can in as few words as possible. Theres no need to thank every single person you know. As Oscar producer Bruce Cohen warned people at the annual n
5、ominees luncheon(年度提名人午宴) before this years show, “Nothing is more dangerous than a winner reading a list of names.” Make each sentence meaningful and dont get too carried away.3. Finally, make the best use of your moment. Dont be afraid to have a little fun and say something unforgettable Clevernes
6、s and humor will help your speech stand out in a good way and keep everyone entertained. Dont make rude and unfit jokes, especially about others. Such jokes may get everyone talking, but you may be the only one laughing in the end. This time, Melissa Leos use of the dirty word during her acceptance
7、speech was the first in Oscar history. She said it before covering her mouth: “I really dont mean to hurt the audiences feelings.”60. What is the best title for the passage? A. Giving a Thank-you Speech B. Accepting the Academy Awards C. Some Advice for the Acceptance Speech D. How to Win the Academ
8、y Awards Successfully D Studies have shown it takes a doctor about 18 seconds to stop a patient after he begins talking. It was Sunday. I had one last patient to see. I came close to her room in a hurry and stood at the doorway. She was an older woman, sitting at the edge of the bed, trying to put s
9、ocks on her swollen (肿大的) feet. I spoke quickly to the nurse, saw her chart saying she was in stable (稳定的) condition. I was almost in the clear. She asked if I could help put on her socks. Instead, I began a long speech that went something like this: “How are you feeling? Your blood sugar and blood
10、pressure (血压) were high but theyre better today. The nurse said you cant wait to see your son whos visiting you today. Its nice to have family visit from far away. Im sure you really look forward to seeing him.” She stopped me with a serious voice. “Sit down, doctor. This is my story, not your story
11、.” I was surprised and ashamed. I sat down. I helped her with the socks. She began to tell me that her only son lived around the corner from her, but she had not seen him in five years. She believed that the pressure of this caused greatly to her health problems. After hearing her story and putting
12、on her socks, I asked if there was anything else I could do for her. She shook her head and smiled. All she wanted me to do was to listen. Listening to someones story costs less than expensive diagnostic (诊断的) testing but is key to healing (痊愈). I often thought of what that woman taught me the impor
13、tance of stopping, sitting down and truly listening. And, not long after, unexpectedly, I became the patient, with a diagnosis of sclerosis (硬化症) at age 31. Now, 20 years later, I sit all the time in a wheelchair. For as long as I could, I continued to see patients from my chair, but I had to give u
14、p my job when my hands were influenced. I still teach medical students and other health care professionals, but now from the view of doctor and patient.I tell them I believe in the power (力量) of listening. I tell them I know firsthand that huge healing takes place within me when someone stops, sits
15、down and listens to my story.58. What does “I was almost in the clear” mean? A.I thought everything was clearly.B. I was about to finish my work.C. I almost made myself understood.D. I was very quickly out of her sight.59. From the 4th paragraph, we can infer the woman _ from the way she said.A.show
16、ed her anger and impatienceB. refused to listen to the doctorC. liked giving orders to peopleD. could not wait to break in60. What is the best title of the passage? A.Listening a powerful medicineB. An unforgettable experienceC. A lesson given by a patientD. Care a key to treatment (D) Sometimes peo
17、ple come into your life and you come to realize that they were meant to be there. You never know who these people may be (possibly your roommate, neighbor, co-worker, long-lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger), but when you lock your eyes on them, you know immediately that they will affec
18、t your life in some profound(深刻的)way. And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those difficulties you would have never realized your potential(潜力), strength, willpower or heart. Everything happens for
19、a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck. Illness, injury, love, brilliant achievement, and sheer stupidity all happen to test the limits of your soul(灵魂). Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smooth, straight, flat road to nowhere. The people you
20、 meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to make of who you are and who you become. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays(背叛)you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for th
21、ey have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being careful when you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them back, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things. Make every day count. Appreciate
22、 every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and attentively listen. Tell yourself you great and believe in yourself, for if you dont believe in yourself, it will be
23、hard for others to believe in you. You can make of your life anything you wish. Take care of your own life, make it better and live it with no regrets. Most importantly, if you love someone, tell him or her, for you never know what tomorrow may have in store. 58. The underlined word “they” in Paragr
24、aph Two probably refers to _. A. potential, strength, willpower or heart B. chances or good luck you have in your life C. illness, injury, love, achievement, and stupidity D. smooth, straight flat roads or safe and comfortable paths59. The third paragraph mainly tells us that _. A. you should be tha
25、nkful to everyone, both your lover and your enemy B. you should believe in yourself and regard yourself as a great person C. bad experiences are probably the most important things in your life D. who you meet and what you experience help you to make of yourself60. The best title for the passage is _
26、. A. Learn to Love B. Create Your Own Life C. Make Every Day Count D. Be Thankful to Bad Experiences D Imagine youre at a party full of strangers. Youre nervous. Who are these people? How do you start a conversation? Luckily, youve got a thing that sends out energy at small chips(芯片) in everyones na
27、me tag(标签).The chips send back name, job, hobbieswhatever. Making new friends becomes simple. This hasnt quite happened in real life. But the world is already experiencing a new age of using RFID technology. An RFID tag with a small chip can be fixed in a product, under your pets skin(皮肤), even unde
28、r your own skin. Some RFID tags have no energy source because they do not need it. The energy comes from a scanning device(扫描装置), which sends out energy and starts up the tag immediately. Such a tag carries information to that object, and the information can be renewed. Already, RFID technology is u
29、sed for recognizing(识别) each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport. Doctors may put a small chip under the skin to get a patients medical records. At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip might get you to pay for the bill with the wave of an arm. Take a step back:
30、 10 or 12 years ago, you would have heard about the coming age of computing. One example always seemed to surface: Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk. The idea was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make life simpler. RFID tags are a small part of this situation. “The world is going to be a connected set of personal small devices.” predicts Dr. J. Reich. But some people are nervous about the possibilities of such technology. It goes too fa
