1. Public Speaking and Critical thinking
What is critical thinking? To a certain degree, it's a matter of logic -- of being able to spot weakness in other people's arguments and to avoid them in your own. It also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence.
In the broad sense, critical thinking is focused, organized thinking -- the ability to see clearly the relationships among ideas. ___. The greatest thinkers, scientists, and inventors have often taken information that was really available and put it together differently to produce new ideas.That, too, is critical thinking.
__ _. As the class goes on, for example, you will probably spend a good deal of time organizing your speeches. While this may seem like a purely mechanical (机械的) exercise, it is closely connected with critical thinking. If the structure of your speech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking is also disordered and confused. If, on the other hand, the structure is clear, there is a good chance your thinking is too. Organizing a speech is not just a matter of arranging your ideas you already have. ____.
What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking. ____. As you work on expressing your ideas in clear accurate language, you will improve your ability to think clearly and accurately. __ As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class, you will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations.
If you take full advantage of your speech class, you will be able to develop your skills as a critical thinker in many circumstances. This is one reason public speaking has been regarded as a vital part of education since the days of ancient Greece.
| A．Rather, it is an important part of shaping the ideas themselves. |
| B．This may seem take a lot of time, but the rewards are well worth it. |
| C．It may also help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. |
| D．It has often been said that there are few new ideas in the world, only reorganized ideas. |
F. The skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a more effective thinker in a number of ways.
G. As you study the role of evidence and reasoning in speechmaking, you will see how they can be used in other forms of communication as well.
【解析】本文主要讲述公共演讲和批判性思维的关系。

13. Six Ways to Improve Reading Comprehension
Help your child keep what he reads—a crucial skill, especially as he gets older and needs to gain important information from textbooks.
Have him read aloud. This forces him to go slower, which gives him more time to process what he reads. 71
Provide the right kinds of books. Make sure your child gets lots of practice reading books that aren’t too hard. 72 Stopping any more often than that to figure out a word makes it tough for him to focus on the overall meaning of the story.
73 To gain meaning from text, your child needs to read quickly and smoothly—a skill known as fluency. Rereading familiar, simple books gives your child practice at decoding words quickly so he'll become more fluent.
Talk to the teacher. If your child is struggling hard with comprehension, he may need more help with his reading—for example, building his vocabulary or practicing phonics skills.
Supplement class reading. If his class is studying a particular theme, look for easy-to-read books or magazines on the topic. Some prior knowledge will make his way through tougher classroom texts.
Talk about what he's reading. This “verbal processing” helps him remember and think through the themes of the book. 74 For example:
●Before: “What interests you in this book? What doesn't?”
●During: “ 75 Is it turning out the way you thought it would? ”
●After: “Can you summarize the book? What did you like about it?”
| A．Reread to build fluency. |
| B．What's going on in the book? |
| C．Look up new words in the dictionary. |
| D．Do you know all the characters in the story? |
F. Plus, he's not only seeing the words, he's hearing them, too.
G. He should recognize at least 90 percent of the words without any help.

15. What is cloning? Are there different types of cloning?
_____71____ Actually, there are different technologies which can be used for other purpose besides producing the genetic twin of another organism. A basic understanding of the different types of cloning is key to talking an informed stance on current public policy issues and making the best possible personal decisions. The following three types of cloning technologies are usually performed; recombinant DNA technology or DNA cloning, reproductive cloning, and therapeutic cloning.
___72_____
Scientists have been cloning animals for many years. In 1952, the first animal, a tadpole, was cloned. ___73_____ Since Dolly, researchers have cloned a number of large and small animals including sheep, goats, cows, mice, pigs, cats, rabbits, and a gaur. ____74____

The process of stripping the nucleus from an egg cell and replacing it with the nucleus of a donor cell is a traumatic one, and improvements in cloning technologies may be needed before many species can be cloned successfully.
| A．What animals have been cloned? |
| B．All these clones were created using nuclear transfer technology |
| C．When the media report on cloning in the news, they are usually talking about only one type called reproductive cloning. |

16. 根据短文内容，从下框的A～F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，并将答案写在答题卷指定区域的横线上。选项中有一项为多余项。
| A. Read on B. Read loudly C. Select a proper material D. Think while you are reading E. Use a dictionary at a right time F. Five suggestions for achieving better results. |
1.
Don’t choose a rather difficult book or a too easy one for yourself to read. A book full of new words will make you discouraged quickly. To understand these new words, you have to turn to the dictionary quite often. It seems that you are not reading the book but the dictionary. It has no fun at all! On the contrary, a too easy one will only waste your time and cannot do any help. The two extremes may at last make you give up reading. So it’s better for you to find a proper book with no more than five new words on each page.
2.
If you come across a new word, do not look it up in a dictionary as quickly as possible. Leave it alone and guess the meaning of it based on the content of the text. This ability is quite necessary in reading. If you know your guess is right later, you will be highly excited at your “success”, and your interest in reading is well stimulated. If a word really hinders you from understanding the whole passage, turn to the dictionary by then. I am sure you can remember this word very well, as it has left you such a deep impression for “its troublesome image”.
3.
To comprehend what you are reading, you should think while you are reading, then form your own ideas on some special issues. Try to scribble (乱写；潦草地书写)some lines — a very short journal, to express your ideas. Your writing does not need to be quite formal but expressive. This practice can make you communicate with the original English authors. Day by day, your way of thinking in English will turn into a native way, which is quite important for English writing.
4.
Language has its own beauty, no matter Chinese or English. Don’t merely take English as a “test”. Take it as an “entertainment” instead and you will enjoy it through learning. Maybe you should find some beautiful literary works such as a prose or a poem to read, if you like. Try to read them as loudly and passionately as you can. During this process, not only can you enjoy yourself by the great emotions of the writers, but also your pronunciation and your manner of speaking English will be improved.
5.
The last but not the least, keep on reading. If you cannot keep it as a habit, you will suffer from paying without gaining.

Test-taking tips
Do you sweat, check your pencil, and feel butterflies in your stomach as your teacher hands out the test paper? A lot of people feel anxious when it is time to take a test. Here are some tips for taking tests:
1 .Your memory recall will be much better if you have had enough rest. In a scientific study, people who got enough sleep before taking a math test did better than those who stayed up all night studying.
Read the test through first. Once you have the test paper in front of you, read over the entire test, checking out how long it is and all the parts that you are expected to complete. 2 .If something seems unclear before you start, do not panic: ask the teacher.
Focus on addressing each question individually. 3 . Instead, answer the best way you can or skip over the question and come back to it after you have answered other questions.
Relax. 4 .Of course you can not get up and move around in the middle of a test, but you can wiggle (扭动) your fingers and toes, take four or five deep breaths. As we all know, It can be easy to forget things we know well. During a test, if you forget something and start to get tense, it suddenly becomes much more difficult to remember.
Finished already? Although most teachers will let you hand your test paper in early, it is usually a good idea to spend any extra time checking over your work. 5 .On the other hand, if you have 5 minutes until the bell rings and you are still writing, wind up whatever you are working on without panic.
| A. Be sure you have studied properly. B. Get enough sleep the night before the test. C. This will allow you to decide how much time you have for each section. D. As you take the test, if you do not know an answer, do not worry about it. E. As the teacher hands out the test paper, be sure you know what is expected of you. F. You can also add details that you may not have thought you’d have time for. G. If you are so nervous that you blank out, you might need a mini-break. |
___2___. Try each of them out on a piece of paper by signing your name .Find out which type of pen you can write best with. You may be amazed at the change in your handwriting just by changing to another pen.
__3__. Do not just do what feels comfortable because that is just your old bad habit coming back into play. Try to hold the pen lightly and don’t press too hard.
Use your chosen pen to write Os on some pieces of lined paper .Write until you have filled up all the lines. Be careful with each O that you write.__4____.
Practice writing Os as much as possible . Remember , practice makes perfect .You may practice for weeks or months if you need to.__5___.
As your handwriting shows signs of improvement , go ahead and keep on practicing by writing more words.
| A．Gather different types of pens |
| B．Practice holding your pen in different ways. |
| C．However ,a bad writing habit is hard to break. |
| D．Choose a type of pen with which you write best. |
F. Two to three months’ practice is enough to get good handwriting.
G. After you are confident in your Os, do the same thing with your name

1. Create opportunities for talking.
Make time for talking by reducing the number of activities your family is involved in each week.

28. Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student, they always say,“My spoken English is poor.” 【1】I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.
First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary.
【答案】D
【2】However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.
【答案】A
【3】Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn't matter.
【答案】F
【4】
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.
Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor.
【答案】C
【5】
| A．The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears. |
| B．They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time. |
| C．Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. |
| D．If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go. |
F. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes.
G. The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned.
