Imagine that you are in school, giving a speech to your class. Now think what it feels like when stammering (口吃) makes it a struggle to communicate your thoughts and feelings to other people.

The King’s Speech, which won the best picture at the Academy Awards in March, 2011, focuses on stammering along with other speech-related problems. The movie tells the story of Britain’s King George VI, who became king after his brother Edward VIII gave up the crown to marry an American woman.

As a result of British actor Colin Firth’s performance, people are starting to realize that stammering can damage a person’s self-confidence and cause him or her to escape from life.

“The serious problem is unseen and unheard,” said Norbert Lieckfeldt, an expert at the British Stammering Association, in an interview with a news reporter.

“Stammering masks your ability,” he said. “It's a serious disability.”

Most stammerers face bullying (欺负) in school, something that is “usually carried over into the workplace”.

George VI’s stammer took away his confidence as a speaker. But Samantha Mesango, a speech coach based in the UK, believes that speech problems are more common than most people realize. “Some simply don’t like the sound of their own voice; others are scared of speaking in public,” she said.

Travis Treats from St.Louis University praised The King’s Speech. He said it shows that “how one’s speech does not mean what one is inside”. He also added that people who stammer need to be heard and our society should recognize that they have a lot to give to the world.

1.The author writes the first 3 paragraphs to           .

A. show how harmful stammer is for common people

B. introduce a famous movie winning great awards

C. tell the story of the king who suffers from stammer

D. draw readers’ attention to the problem of stammer

2.We learn from the passage that           .

A. stammerers face bullying in school but not in the workplace

B. Edward VIII gave up his crown because he was a stammerer

C. stammerers should be understood and can contribute to the world

D. the sufferings caused by stammer haven’t been found yet

3.According to Norbert Lieckfeldt,           

A. the voice of stammering people cannot be heard

B. people who stammer do better in work than school

C. there are a lot of things that stammering people can give to us

D. the serious problem of stammering remains unseen and unheard

4.The paragraph that follows the last will probably talk about           

A. the success the king made by overcoming stammer

B. the medical treatments given to the stammerers

C. doctors’ opinions upon the serious stammer problem

D. how popular the movie The King’s Speech will become

Have you ever wished that you could make your little sister’s teddy bear talk to her? Or have you ever wanted to bring a puppet (木偶) to life? If so, you may be interested in learning the art of ventriloquism (腹语术). A ventriloquist can make an ordinary object seem to be alive by giving it a personality, movement, and speech.

Your object can be a puppet, or a doll. Give your new “friend” a name, and then decide on the personality that he will have. The next step is to give your friend movements that agree with the personality you have chosen.

Now you can learn to make your “friend” talk. A ventriloquist will control his mouth and lips so that it will appear that his voice is coming from the object he is using. This will take practice, but you can do it.

First, decide on a voice that is different from your own. It could be higher or lower than yours, or could even have a special accent. Then, find a clean teaspoon and hold the handle between your front teeth. Now, using the voice you created for your friend and holding the handle of the teaspoon tightly between your teeth, look into a mirror and talk. Practicing with the spoon in your mouth will help you learn to keep your mouth from moving. Now try telling a joke in your normal voice and have your friend speak in his voice. Practice those words until you can say them without your lips moving at all.

Ventriloquism is fun. It also requires hard work to become good at it. The most important thing to do is practice. But if you are willing to take the time to give your friend an interesting personality, to practice lively movements, and to work on good mouth control, then you will be well on your way to becoming a ventriloquist!

1.According to the text, a ventriloquist           .

   A. is a person who can make puppets

   B. needs to work with another person

   C. can speak without using his mouth

   D. can make an object seem to speak

2.You need to hold the handle of a teaspoon between your front teeth so that           .

   A. your voice will change

   B. your mouth won’t move

   C. you can look humorous

   D. you can feel your mouth’s movements

3.If you want to be good at ventriloquism, you          .

   A. need to spend much time practicing

   B. must learn from famous ventriloquists

   C. should learn at least one special accent

   D. must have a great doll to practice with 

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A. How to tell jokes             

B. How to make puppets

C. Secrets of ventriloquism       

D. Tips on making friends

In my opinion, there is only one legitimate (合法的) handgun sport and that is aim practice. It is practiced at objects which are properly monitored and usually quite safe. Only certain handguns are true “sporting weapons”, seen as such by the sport’s lovers.

On the other hand, shooting at tin cans and other small objects in one’s backyard is not and should not be considered a serious sport. When uncontrolled, it can be a very dangerous practice.

Some opponents (反对者) of handgun control have stated that we are out to stop all hunting and that controlling the handgun would severely affect hunting. That is simply untrue. Handgun control would in no way limit the freedom of the true hunter. Few if any hunters consider the handgun an effective hunting weapon.

There are a few hunters who do hunt with handguns, but most states place restrictions (限制) on the type of guns that can be used in hunting, the reason is that killing of game should be done in as humane (人道的) a way as possible. Some small handguns are more likely to wound the animal rather than kill it at once. Only long guns, rifles and shotguns are effective arms of hunting.

People must understand that handguns and hunters are separate matters. Because most of the hunters use a rifle or shotgun, there is no reason why their search for game and sport should be affected by handgun control. Mixing the anti-hunting matter with the handgun matter confuses the killing of animals with killing of people.

1.In the writer’s opinion, people should use handguns only when           .

A. hunters shoot at animals         

B. they aim at a criminal

C. objects are under control  

D. objects are only small tin cans in the backyard

2.According to the writer, hunting is not affected by handgun control because          .

A. hunters can use knives rather than guns to hunt animals

B. state government encourages hunters to use other guns

C. nobody cares what weapons are used to kill animals

D. most hunters use rifles rather than handguns

3.This passage mainly talks about           .

A. the relation between hunting and handgun control

B. the importance of aim practice

C. how handgun control affects hunting

D. different types of guns used in hunting

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。注意:涂卡时,如答题卡上没有E、F、G选项,请按如下方式填涂:选E涂AB;选F涂BC;选G涂CD。

Before going outside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer (温度计) for the temperature. This helps us decide what to wear.    1     We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we don’t feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.

   Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.

   Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide.     2     

   The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury (水银) inside a clear glass tube. As mercury ( or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts (收缩) . That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube.     3        

   First, take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap; fill the bottle with colored water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw (吸管) through the nail hole.

        4    

   Finally, place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the water level easily.

        5     

   As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the level in the straw will come down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water level in the straw each morning for a week.

A.       We use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things in our daily lives.

B.       Thermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same way when they are heated or cooled.

C.       Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work.

D.       The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water will expand and rise even higher.

E.       They label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees.

F.       Take wax ( you may use an old candle if you have one ) and melt some of it right where the straw is stuck into the cap to seal them together. 

G.       People use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around the world.
