試題分析：作者小時(shí)侯口吃的厲害，一次把自己寫(xiě)的詩(shī)交給老師后，老師卻讓他當(dāng)眾背誦出來(lái)，以此證明他不是抄襲的。在憤怒中，作者流利地把自己的詩(shī)背了出來(lái)，從此作者發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的嗓音很受同學(xué)們歡迎，由此找到了自信，也改變了自己口吃的毛病。

1.D動(dòng)詞辨析。A. 毀滅；B. 轉(zhuǎn)身；C.幫助；D.改變。由上下文可知作者小時(shí)候口吃的厲害，而現(xiàn)在卻是因自己的嗓音而出名，由此判斷是教授改變了他的人生，故D選項(xiàng)正確。

2.D動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)辨析。A.回答；B嘲笑；C.指向；D.瞪著。從語(yǔ)境可知作者不相信老師這樣說(shuō)，再根據(jù)下文"Why," I started,判斷此處作者開(kāi)始沒(méi)有回應(yīng)老師的話，而是瞪著老師，所以D選項(xiàng)正確。

3.B動(dòng)詞辨析。A.能夠；B. 做；C. 應(yīng)該；D.有。根據(jù)“I don't think you wrote this.”判斷此處用did代替動(dòng)詞wrote，所以答案選B。

5.D形容詞辨析。A. 無(wú)變化的；B. 沒(méi)希望的；C. 無(wú)用的；D. 氣喘吁吁的。根據(jù)上文anger flooding me 和With knees shaking可知作者當(dāng)時(shí)感到非常氣憤，由情理判斷D選項(xiàng)正確。

6.C動(dòng)詞辨析。A. 讓?zhuān)籅. 讓?zhuān)谱鳎籆.鼓勵(lì)；D. 支持。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知老師鼓勵(lì)作者去朗讀別人的詩(shī)歌，而且從詞語(yǔ)搭配上encourage sb to do sth “鼓勵(lì)某人做某事”，而let/ make sb do sth，所以答案選C。

7.A名詞辨析。A嗓音；B. 聲音；C出現(xiàn)；D.興趣。由文章開(kāi)頭Today I’m known for my voice和文章末句students actually looked forward to hearing me recite.可知此處指的是自己的嗓音，所以答案選A。

When you are little, it’s not hard to believe you can change the world. I remember my enthusiasm when, at the age of 12, I addressed（向……演講） the people at the Rio Earth Summit. “ I am only a child,” I told them.” Yet I know that if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty and finding environmental answers, what a wonderful place this world would be. At school you teach us not to fight with others, to work things out, to respect others, to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures, to share, not to be greedy. Then why do you go out and do the things you tell us not to do. You grown-ups say you love us, but I challenge you, please, to make your actions reflect your words.”
I spoke for six minutes and received a standing ovation. Some of the people even cried. I thought that maybe I had reached some of them, that my speech might actually spur（刺激）action. Now, ten years from Rio, after I’ve sat through many more conferences, I’m not sure what has been achieved. My confidence in the people in power and in the power of an individual’s voice to reach them has been deeply shaken.
When I was little, the world was simple. But as a young adult, I’m learning that as we have to make choices—educa-tion, career, lifestyle—life gets more and more complicated. We are beginning to feel pressure to produce and be successful. We are taught that economic growth is progress, but we aren’t taught how to seek a happy, healthy way of living. And we are learning that what we wanted for the future when we were 12 was idealistic and naive（天真的）.
Today I’m no longer a child, but I’m worried about what kind of environment my children will grow up in. I know change is possible, because I am changing, still figuring out what I think. I am still deciding how to live my life. The challenges are great, but if we accept individual responsibility and make choices, we will rise to the challenges, and we will become part of the positive tide of the change. I hope this goal will be met through our common efforts. Thank you all.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

Active listening is an essential skill in learning. It is when you listen carefully to make sure you understand and learn the information that is being conveyed.     1   Here are some things which can help you to listen actively.

◆    2   . Don’t just write everything down. Listen carefully and make sure you understand what the purpose of this lecture is. As you take down notes, keep the main point in mind and make sure you understand how these notes are related.

◆Listen for an organizational structure. Listen carefully to figure out how the ideas are organized and they will make more sense.

◆Pay attention to organizational cues (暗示).    3   Pay close attention to the introduction, as it will probably show how you should organize your notes. If the lecture begins with, “Today I’m going to talk about three ethnic conflicts (種族沖突) in the Middle East,” then you have a good idea of what’s going to follow. Listen for “signpost” words to show a transition (過(guò)渡) from one point to the next, such as “next” and “finally” and numerical signposts like “first” or “third”.

◆Listen with your eyes.   4   Watch the teacher and be aware of how he or she uses hand gestures, eye contact and other body language to convey points.

◆Remove distractions. Put away the campus newspaper, your cell phone and anything else that might be more interesting than the lecturer.

Learning to concentrate and listen actively is an endurance（耐力） skill.   5  

A．Speakers communicate information through nonverbal communication.

B．Unfortunately, many students don’t know how to listen actively when they attend classes.

C．If your teacher indicates that something is important, mark it.

D．Make yourself do it, and it will get easier over time.

E. Listen carefully for words and phrases that reflect the organizational structure of the lecture.

F. Your teachers’ notes are probably organized into some kind of outline.

G. Listen for the main point and major sub-points.

The Young Can't Wait

By Severn Cullies Suzuki

When you are little, it's not hard to believe you can change the world. I remember my enthusiasm when, at the age of 12, I addressed the delegates at the Rio Earth Summit. “I am only a child,” I told them. “Yet I know that if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty（貧困） and finding environmental answers, what a wonderful place this would be. In school you teach us not to fight with others, to work things out, to respect others, to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures, to share, not to be greedy. Then why do you go out and do the thing you tell us not to do? You grown-ups say you love us, but I challenge you, please, to make your actions reflect（反�。� your words.”

I spoke for six minutes and received a standing ovation. Some of the delegates even cried. I thought that maybe I had reached some of them, that my speech might actually spur（刺激） action. Now, a decade（十年） from Rio, after I've sat through many more conferences, I'm not sure what has been accomplished. My confidence in the people in power and in the power of an individual's voice to reach them has been deeply shaken.

When I was little, the world was simple. But as a young adult, I'm learning that as we have to make choices—education, career, lifestyle—life gets more and more complicated. We are beginning to feel pressure to produce and be successful. We are taught that economic growth is progress, but we aren't taught how to pursue a happy, healthy or sustainable way of living. And we are learning that what we wanted for the future when we were 12 was idealistic and naive.

Today I'm no longer a child, but I'm worried about what kind of environment my children will grow up in. I know change is possible, because I am changing, still figuring out what I think. I am still deciding how to live my life. The challenges are great, but if we accept individual responsibility and make sustainable choices, we will rise to the challenges, and we will become part of the positive tide of change.

60．The purpose of what the writer said at the age of 12 was to _______.

A．end poverty and make school beautiful

B．find environmental answers and keep the words that they always told themselves

C．end poverty and solve the problems about environment

D．find a wonderful place and clean it up

61．What does the underlined word “ovation” in the second paragraph refer to _____.

A．a(chǎn) long period of laughing              B．a(chǎn) warm welcome

C．a(chǎn)n expression used for greeting      D．a(chǎn) long period of clapping and applause

62．It becomes clear that the writer is possibly _________ now.

A．in his teens      B．in his twenties  C．in his thirties    D．in his forties
