5.Visualization is closely related to positive thinking.It is used by athletes,musicians,actors,speakers,and others to improve their performance in stressful situations.How does it work?Listen to long-distance runner Vicki Huber:
Right before a big race,I'll picture myself running,and I will try and put all of the other competitors in the race into my mind.Then I will try and imagine every possible situation I might find myself in…behind someone,being pushed,different positions on the track,laps to go,and,of course the final part.And I always picture myself winning the race,no matter what happens during the event.
Of course,Huber doesn't win every race she runs,but research has shown that the kind of mental imaging she describes can significantly increase athletic performance.It has also shown that visualization can help speakers control their stage fright.
The key to visualization is creating a vivid mental blueprint in which you see yourself succeeding in your speech.Picture yourself in your classroom rising to speak.See yourself at the lectern(放演講稿的講桌),self-assured,making eye contact(接觸)with your audience and delivering your introduction in a firm,clear voice.Feel your confidence growing as your listeners get more and more caught up in what you are saying.Imagine your sense of achievement as you conclude the speech knowing you have done your very best.
As you create these images in your mind's eye,be realistic but stay focused on the positive aspects of your speech.Don't allow negative images to affect the positive ones.Acknowledge your nervousness,but picture yourself overcoming it to give an effective presentation.If one part of the speech always seems to give you trouble,visualize yourself getting through it without any problems.And be specific.The clearer your mental pictures,the more successful you are likely to be.
As with your physical rehearsal(排練)of the speech,this kind of mental rehearsal should be repeated several times in the days before you speak.It doesn't guarantee that every speech will turn out exactly the way you imagine it-and it certainly is no replacement for thorough preparation.But it is a proven way to help control your nerves and to make a successful presentation.
24.Huber's visualization of her racesA.
A.is detailed and thorough         
B.is used during the event
C.is based on real pictures         
D.is created with other runners
25.According to the text,if you run into difficulty when preparing a speech,you shouldC.
A.ignore the negative aspects       
B.do the mental imaging later
C.imagine finishing it smoothly     
D.create clearer mental pictures
26.What do we learn about mental rehearsal?B
A.It usually produces the desired results.
B.It may be a good way to calm you down.
C.It is more important than physical rehearsal.
D.It is a good chance to show your imagination.

分析 本文說明想要完成一場成功的演講可以試試在排練期間想象自己演講的全過程,并且想象整個過程很順利、結(jié)果很完美,這樣有助于幫助自己完成演講.

解答 24~26.ACB
24.A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段And I always picture myself winning the race,no matter what happens during the event.可知,Huber的想象不僅有始有終,而且 具體深入,她想象了在比賽中可能碰 到的任何情形.故選A.
25.C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第五段中的 If one part of the speech always seems to give you trouble,visualize yourself getting through it without any problems可知如果你在準(zhǔn)備演講中遇到困難,你應(yīng)該想象順利地完成了,故選C.
26.B.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)最后一段中的 But it is a proven way to help control your nerves可知,這種想象的排練能 夠讓你放松神經(jīng)、冷靜下來.故選B.

點評 做閱讀理解時要快速的瀏覽全文,把握文章主旨大意,帶著問題回到原文,尋找細(xì)節(jié)或概括相應(yīng)的答案,最后要理清作者寫作思路.

Dear editor,
My English teacher has been collecting opinions on the reform which the English test will be removed from China's college Entrance examination by 2020and tests will be holding several times a year.And opinions are different.
Some students are for it.They think this reform can reduce our study pressure and change China's once-in-a-lifetime exams system.What's more,they can spend much time on the subjects that they are interested in.
However,some students argue a reform wouldn't reduce the students'burden of learning English,because of schools may reduce English classes and not being strict with English teachers.If so,their parents may ask them to attend the training class outside the school.Not only they spend more money and also it may become a burden.
Yours,
Chen Hao.

13.Since the late 1960s a growing number of women have expressed a strong dissatisfaction with any marriage arrangement in which the husband and his career were the primary considerations in the marriage.By the end of the 1970s,for example,considerably less than half of the women in the United States still believed that they should put their husbands and children ahead of their own careers.
    More and more American women have come to believe that they should be equal partners rather than junior partners in their marriages.This state of marriage,although not typical of most American marriages at present,will grow most rapidly in the future.In an equal partnership marriage,the wife pursues a full-time job or career which has equal importance to her husband's.The long-standing division of labor between husband and wife comes to an end.The husband is no longer the main provider of family income,and the wife no longer has the main responsibilities for household duties and raising children.Husband and wife share all these duties equally.Power over family decisions is also equally shared.
    The rapid change in women's attitudes toward marriage in the 1970s reflected rapid change in the larger society.The Women's Liberation movement appeared in the late 1960s,demanding an end to all forms of sexual discrimination against females.An Equal Rights Amendment(平等權(quán)利修正案) to the U.S.Constitution was proposed which would make any form of discrimination on the basis of sex illegal,and though it has failed to be approved,it continues to have millions of supporters.
52.Since the late 1960s more and more women have been dissatisfied with the marriage in whichB.
A.they were unhappy         
B.they had inferior positions
C.only the wife shouldered responsibilities to the family
D.only the husband took care of the household
53.What was the long-standing division of labor between husband and wife in America?D
A.Husband-leader,wife-helper     
B.Husband and wife share the housework
C.Husband and wife share equal partnership 
D.Husband-incomer provider,wife-home maker
54.Which of the following statements is true about the new type of marriage?C
A.Husband and wife do not necessarily share their household duties.
B.Wife can also make the decisions in the family.
C.Wife earns the living while husband does housework.
D.Husband is no longer responsible for raising children.
55.Which of the following could be the best title for this passage?D
A.An Ideal Marriage                     
B.Women's Liberation Movement
C.Equal Right Between Husband and Wife  
D.Changing Patterns of Americans'Marriage.

17.It took me several years to realize that my black skin is beautiful and I have accepted the fact that indeed black is beautiful now.This skin I have been in for so many years determined my self worth.
I had so many factors"against"me in my mind when I was a little girl.I was a tall,thin,dark skinned girl with a gap tooth smile.Growing up,the only role model that I had was my mother,who has beautiful deep brown complexion (膚色).It's amazing how I could find beauty in my mother's complexion but not my own.One of the most outstanding memories of my childhood is the words"Oh,she is so cute for a dark skinned little girl."People spoke as if I wasn't in the room,as if I couldn't hear.
From a young age,I felt ashamed that my black color wasn't good enough,so I buried myself in books to stay away from the mirror.I knew that my education would and could take me further than my looks.I stopped watching TV,absorbed in my studies and I was happy with my decision.Now I have been admitted to my ideal Coppin State University,which is for black students and has a long history.
It wasn't until I was at age 16that I officially decided to fix my deep rooted issue about my dark complexion.I had been brainwashed to subscribe to the European standard of beauty for so many years.I no longer accept this standard,because I set my own.My black is beautiful including my full lips,the wideness of my nose,and the intensity (明亮) of my eyes.I believe that there are plenty of beautiful dark skinned women in the world.

15.First aid means the aid or the help that can be given to an injured person first,that is,before any other help arrives.Nowadays there is usually a telephone not far away and the first we should do,if a serious accident happens,send to telephone for an ambulance.Sometimes quick action by us may save someone's life.
Shock.People often suffer from shock after receiving an injury,sometimes even when the injure is a small one.The face turns grey,and the skin becomes damp and cold.They breathe quickly.They should be kept warm.Cover them with a blanket and give them a warm drink.
Broken bones.Do not move the patient.Send for an ambulance at once.Threat for shock if necessary.
Bleeding.A little bleeding doesn't harm.It washes dirt from the wound.But if the bleeding continues,try to stop it by placing a clean cloth firmly over the wound until the bleeding stops or helps arrive.
Poison.A person who has taken poison should be taken to a hospital at once.With some poisons,sleeping pills,for example,it is a good thing to make the patient throw up by pressing your fingers down his throat.
Remember:When an accident happens,send someone to telephone for an ambulance at once.Keep the injured person warm and quiet.Give him plenty of air.Do not let other people crowd around him.
