My teachers suggested that I see a speech specialist (專家) in school.
I never really gave much thought to my speech. If other people understood what I was saying, then that was good enough. I didn’t mind repeating myself many times.
Before testing me, the speech specialist asked me what I thought of having good speech. I told her I thought it was not important.
“Well, when you are in an interview for a job, and they don’t know what you are saying, what are they going to say to you? Nice meeting you, bye,” she said.
Maybe good speech was important. I took part in 20-minute classes each week with the specialist.
After she tested me, she told me that I spoke too fast, and didn’t give enough eye contact (眼神交流). I learned that when I made eye contact with someone, it meant that I was talking to that person, and I could also see what he or she thought about what I was saying.
When my first speech class started, I found that I had been speaking too fast to be understood. Every time I spoke too fast, the specialist stopped me and told me to start again. At first, I got stopped after almost every other sentence. After a while, I felt my speech slow down. I wasn’t sure if people could understand me better, but my friends stopped asking me to repeat myself.
Speech is an important skill to have. If you do have good speech, that’s a good thing, but if you don’t have it, it is never too late to improve.

【小題1】 A
【小題2】 B
【小題3】 C
【小題4】 C
【小題5】 B
解析試題分析:本文主要講述的是作者在專家培訓之前,語速很快,也沒有與聽者有眼神交流。在專家第一次給作者本人上課時,因為說的太快,幾乎每句話都會被專家叫停重來,慢慢地作者的語速變慢,專家也不再打斷。作者從開始認為演講好壞是不重要的,轉(zhuǎn)變到認為演講是一門應該掌握的技能。
【小題1】推理判斷題。a newspaper一份報紙an advertisement一份廣告 a detective story一個偵探故事 a science book一本科學書。本文是關于如何演講的,不會出現(xiàn)在廣告,偵探故事和科學書上,故選A。
【小題2】細節(jié)理解題。從 I told her I thought it was not important.我告訴她我認為這不重要,可知作者在上專家的課之前認為好的演講并不重要,得知答案選B。
【小題3】細節(jié)理解題。從 After she tested me, she told me that I spoke too fast, and didn’t give enough eye contact.I learned that when I made eye contact with someone, it meant that I was talking to that person, and I could also see what he or she thought about what I was saying.她測試我之后,說我講的太快,沒有充分的眼神交流。我得知當我與某人眼神交流時,這意味著我正在和那人說話,我也能看到他或她在思考我正在說的,可知作者說的太快,沒有給聽者時間想問題,故選C。
【小題4】細節(jié)理解題。從 Every time I spoke too fast, the specialist stopped me and told me to start again. At first, I got stopped after almost every other sentence.每次我講快了,專家都讓我停下來,重新開始。開始幾乎每句話都停下來,經(jīng)過多次練習,專家不再打斷他,說明他的語速變慢了,故選C。
【小題5】標題歸納題。從Speech is an important skill to have演講是一門需要掌握的很重要的技能,可知答案選A.

Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It’s the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.
Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate(模仿) and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn’t matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.
Somebody may be a good listener. But he is terrified to speak. He’s afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important. When there’s nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It’s interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make.
Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we’re interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense(語感). This is the most important.
Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don’t be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.
Easier said than done. Well, let’s do more practice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English better in this way.
【小題1】You can learn to swim by_______.
A.reading books about it | B.looking at others swimming |
C.having lessons on it | D.going into the water and learning |
A.listening and speaking | B.reading and writing | C.swimming | D.A and B |
A.Don’t make mistakes. | B.Study hard. |
C.Don’t be afraid. | D.Try not to speak English. |
A.Listening. | B.Reading and writing. | C.Speaking. | D.Learning. |
A.It’s easier to do than to say. |

Almost every child in cities has the chance to go to school, but not all children in the countryside are so luckily.
There is a girl called Xiao Juan. She is ten years old and lives in a small village. When she was seven, she wanted to go to school. But she could not, because her family was too poor to afford the school fees(學費) for her, so her parents had to keep her at home. Instead of studying, Xiao Juan looked after her brother and worked in the fields every day. Then Hope Project heard about Xiao Juan. It agreed to help Xiao Juan to go to school. Her wish of study came true, and now she is studying in a school.

·What does the speaker want to tell us?
In this way, you may understand the passage better.
