* Keep your notes：Do you like to keep annotations (注釋) and highlights in your eBooks？Don't worry．You can always revisit your notes and highlights through Amazon．com．

試題分析：文章介紹了最近亞馬遜網(wǎng)推出了租電子書業(yè)務(wù)。作者主要介紹了如何在網(wǎng)上租電子書籍，包括為什么要租，去哪兒租，如何租等相關(guān)信息。

【1】C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段內(nèi)容Amazon. com recently announced the start of a new program where you can rent eBooks可知，人們想租書只能去租紙質(zhì)書，而直到最近亞馬遜才宣布可以租電子書，故選C。

【2】C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章末段內(nèi)容you simply go to checkout. Or you can use the "Rent now" button.可知，當(dāng)在亞馬遜網(wǎng)上租電子書的時(shí)候，最后的步驟是點(diǎn)擊確定“Rent now”按鈕，故選C。

【3】B 推理判斷題。本文主要介紹了如何在網(wǎng)上租電子書，包括為什么要租，去哪兒租，如何租等信息，由此判斷作者只是為了向讀者說(shuō)明網(wǎng)上租書這一新興事物，故答案選B。

【名師點(diǎn)撥】

作者態(tài)度及寫作意圖推斷

每一篇文章都會(huì)包含作者的某種觀點(diǎn)和態(tài)度，只不過(guò)有的直截了當(dāng)，有的含而不露，有的通過(guò)所用詞語(yǔ)的褒貶來(lái)體現(xiàn)。此類題可細(xì)分為作者態(tài)度題(表明作者的好惡)和作者觀點(diǎn)題(表明作者對(duì)某事物的看法)。準(zhǔn)確把握作者的情感和態(tài)度，需要注意以下幾點(diǎn)：

1. 作者對(duì)某一事物的看法,要么支持,要么反對(duì),帶中立色彩的詞最不可能是正確答案。

2. 漠不關(guān)心類詞語(yǔ)往往不對(duì),既然寫文章就不會(huì)不關(guān)心。

3. 不要把自己的態(tài)度揉入其中,也要區(qū)分作者的態(tài)度和作者引用的別人的態(tài)度。

4. 當(dāng)作者的態(tài)度沒有明確提出時(shí),要學(xué)會(huì)根據(jù)作者使用詞語(yǔ)的褒貶性來(lái)判斷。

5. 作者的觀點(diǎn)一般與文章的主旨相關(guān)聯(lián)。

6. 絕對(duì)化或語(yǔ)氣過(guò)于強(qiáng)烈的選項(xiàng)常常是錯(cuò)誤的，如：strong，complete，entire等。

【題目】Speaking in public meetings is necessary for many students and employees. As well, it is a difficult task for them, especially for non-native speakers. A great many researchers have made efforts to help foreign language learners to improve the approaches.

Charles LeBeau is a public speaking professor and consultant. Currently, he teaches at two universities and at the Toshiba International Training Center. He has also written books on the subject. English language learners around the world use his book Speaking of Speech.

In Speaking of Speech Mr. LeBeau says a simple approach helps the learners. So, the professor divides public speaking into three parts: the physical message, the visual message, and the story message. He says, “The central thing to remember about public speaking or presentation is that it’s a very complex communicative activity. For non-native speakers it’s a really scary activity. So to make that more simplistic and easy for them, the approach that I’ve taken is to simplify and break it down. First if we look at presentation, what’s going on? There are basically three messages that the presenter is giving the audience at the same time. There’s what I call the physical message, namely body language. It’s the way that my body, as a speaker, is talking to the audience. Then there’s also the visual message. The visual messages are the slides that we now make and show the audience. The third message is the story message, which is the content of our presentation. The story message is the verbal message, what we say to the audience. The story message also includes how we organize our ideas to present to the audience.”

He says the simple approach to breaking down the parts of public speaking has proved itself. He says learners improve quickly and do a good presentation after a few days of study.

【1】What does Mr. LeBeau think of public speaking?

A. Public speaking is a simple task.

B. Public speaking is divided into three parts.

C. Public speaking is a tough communicative activity.

D. Public speaking is necessary for students and employees.

【2】From Mr. LeBeau’s point, which of the following is the key way to help speakers?

A. Studying a few days.

B. Simplifying the speech.

C. Using slides and physical language.

D. Reading his book Speaking of Speech.

【3】Which of the following provides the visual message?

A. Gestures; videos; ideas.

B. Slides; feelings; videos.

C. Photos; ideas; gestures.

D. Videos; slides; photos.

【題目】Driving on up to Yosemite with my family was exciting but nerve-racking (神經(jīng)緊張的). I had never been to such an amazing national park before, yet I wasn’t the most athletic person so I knew that I couldn’t stick through all the hiking up and down. It actually ended up being a fun and adventurous experience.

The ride there was definitely long but worth it. As I woke up from my nap, I saw the beautiful scenery of the tall mountains and beautiful streams. The trails were made nicely for visitors. The waterfalls were breathtaking. Climbing up rocks was one of my favorite parts. Even though I fell a couple of times, I still have a lot of fun. The fact that my family and I spent so much time together all trying to find out which route to take and what views to watch really brought us closer together.

The great thing about nature is that, it’s just you, the views, and the people around you. There’s nothing there to bother you and it’s the best way to relax and enjoy yourself. Yosemite has 5 of the world’s highest waterfalls, and about 300 lakes. The structure of each mountain is incredible; it’s formed in ways that almost take your breath away. Some of them are of a deep dark color with waterfalls forming; some are formed with spots of green peeking (窺探) out. It’s definitely something you wouldn’t want to miss.

Yosemite isn’t the only great National Park but based on my experience I highly recommend going out and enjoying nature with family and friends. It’s a great time to bond, laugh, and take in what Mother Nature offers.

【1】The author writes the first paragraph mainly to ________.

A. introduce the topic of this passage

B. offer an example to us

C. tell us his future plan for hiking

D. describe a national park

【2】While climbing up rocks, the author was ________.

A. nerve-rackingB. injuredC. pleased D. worried

【3】According to the passage, Yosemite ________.

A. is crowded with visitors every day

B. is the only great National Park

C. is worth travelling to

D. is nothing but a common destination

【4】The author suggests us ________.

A. keeping a good bond with other people

B. visiting Yosemite now and then

C. trying to protect the environment

D. going out to enjoy the beauty of nature

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的七個(gè)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)。

Learning to set goals plays an important role as your child starts to gain independence. However, setting goals doesn’t come naturally to your child, so helping him to learn the process should probably be one of your goals.

Explain the word “goal”. Your child may know what a goal is when it comes to soccer, but he may not understand what it means in everyday life. 【1】

Listen to your child. Ideally, you want your child to be able to decide for himself what his goals are. 【2】 Let him talk about what he thinks he does well and what he thinks needs to improve. If he’s stuck, you can provide some examples of your own personal goals.

Help keep goals achievable. Don’t throw cold water on your child. 【3】For example, if your child wants to be a champion swimmer, but can’t swim an entire lap of the pool yet, you can suggest he start by making that his first goal.

【4】 Help your child write down his goals in an easy-to-follow form. Being able to see and check off the steps on the way to his goal is the key in keeping him motivated. A really simple way is to have your child draw a ladder on a piece of paper, writing his goal at the top and each step to that goal on the rungs (橫木). 【5】

A. Change goals every so often.

B. Make a visual goal reminder.

C. Don’t always tell him what you think.

D. He’s climbing to the top as he gets closer to his goal.

E. You can take sports as example to help explain it to him.

F. Once he has set up a goal, he may find it very difficult to achieve it.

G. When a goal is beyond his reach, help him break it down into smaller pieces.
