say”,故选D项。2.E该空位于“My nervousness went away when I didnt concentrate on myself,but just thought,How is my speech going to help the audience?”后,而E项“Once you do that,youll get rid of the fear”正好与其承接,讲的都是如何克服恐惧紧张,故选E项。3.B该空位于整个段落之首,说明需要总结下面段落的大意,根据段落最后一句可知,这段要告诉我们在演讲之前要做好准备,故选B项。4.G该空位于“story-telling”后,且该空后一句正好与G项“Stories bine data and information with emotion”相承接,讲的都是讲故事对于听众的好处,故事可以将数据信息与人的情感联系起来,故选G项。5.C该空前一句话说可以使听众感到惊讶,并将他们的注意力拉回来的方法是留一个时间很长以至于会让人感到不舒服的停顿,而C项“That brings them back to the speaker”正好与其呼应,其中的that指代的是“to leave an almost unfortably

教育孩子是一门学问,如何教出既懂事又能承担责任的孩子是一件不容易的事情,文章给出了一些切实可行的方法,值得大家借鉴学习。1.B空前举了两个例子,例子中的两个孩子不需要别人提醒,都能做一些力所能及的家务,这让人羡慕,因此作者提出疑问。故B项“这些优秀的孩子是怎么培养的”符合语境。2.D根据空后语境可知,你不能指望孩子一下子就学会承担责任,这需要时间和练习来慢慢理解责任的意义。故D项“要从小就开始教孩子学会承担责任”符合语境。3.F根据空后语境可知,当孩子被邀请参与家务事时,孩子会很快乐,能感到自己的价值感。故F项“微笑着去邀请你的孩子来帮忙”符合语境。4.C根据空后语境“You can show how to plete small tasks in daily life and perform them at a childs skill level.”可知,C项“展示给孩子如何来履行责任”符合语境。5.A根据该段语境,要给孩子制定一些规则来帮孩子履行责任,如果不承担责任,要承担一定的后果。故A项“你越是能执行这些规则,孩子在画完画后越是能自己清理桌子”符合语境。C【语篇导读】 本文主要介绍了几种保护环境的方式,从而能过上环境友好型的生活,这里包括阻止家里的能源泄露、在社区植树、多用太阳能、绿色出行等。1.G空前的意思是“每月制热和制冷可以用掉百分之五十的能源。”空后的意思是“所以你会省钱减少对于环境的影响。”所以这里选G项“你可以通过修补你家的泄露来更有效地制冷或制热”与上下文一致。2.A空前的意思是“每个人都知道种树对环境有益”;空后的意思是“树木能使你的家里变得凉爽。”所以这里选A项“树木有很多好的作用”与上下文一致。3.D空后的意思是“如果你夏天用吊扇,那么你就创造了一个清爽的环境。”所以这里选D项“在夏天用吊扇来散凉”与上下文一致。4.C空前的意思是“更多地使用太阳能。”空后的意思是“有很多便宜的太阳能产品,你可以试试。”所以这里选C项“有很多方式使用太阳能”与上下文一致。5.E空前的意思是“坐着想想还有什么从这儿到那儿的无害环境的方式。”空后的意思是“你可以步行或者骑自行车到街角的商店。”所以这里选E项“当你去电影院的时候你可以乘公交车”与上下文一致。D【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何提高语言能力提出了一些建议。1.E根据上两句“Or travel back in time to find your favorite childhood Disney songs.You may find that you even want to sing along with them.”可知,歌曲有利于语言学习,并能在大脑中持续很久,故选E项。2.F根据本段小标题Use your devices可知F项中的your puter,your smart phone.与之相符。3.C根据语境强调与环境相联系是很好的学习语言的途径,也需要巩固所学的词汇,所以用它们造句是可行的做法。4.A本段大意为“积少成多、循序渐进”,且前文中讲到每天15分钟学习语言胜过一星期一次的填鸭式的学习,A项中提到要把时间放到每日的常规中,故选A项。5.G根据本段小标题“Find someone to talk to,even if its
