21、 If you live in a place where most people speak English, you may use the language for several hours each day.【1】Your mind stops trying to translate things from your native language into English.
However, as an English beginner, you may live in places where English is not the main language. The good news is that thinking in English can bring you a huge step closer to fluency！The following are some mental exercises that can help.
Think in single words.
【2】So, a good first step is to think in individual words. Look around you. What do you see? In your head, try to name each object in your surroundings, whatever it is and wherever you are.
Think in sentences.
The next exercise is thinking in simple sentences. For example, if you are sitting in a park, you can tell yourself things like, “【3】” and “I like everything here.”
Describe your day.
You can describe your day and make plans in the morning, such as, “When I leave the house, I'm going to get an iced coffee.【4】I'll hand in my homework after arriving.”
【5】
When you do this, you are imagining yourself speaking to someone else. You are asking the questions and thinking of replies. For example, let's say the imaginary person asks you a question, like, “What did you do last night?” How would you answer?
A.Find a partner.
B.The air is so fresh.
C.Think in conversation.
D.Then I'll take the bus to class.
E.Your hard work finally paid off.
F.Most experts note that it's best to start small.
G.So, it may become part of your "inner speech".
22、The proposal for a new Indonesian capital city has been on the cards ever since the country gained independence from the Dutch in 1945. The political and economic crises which followed have long delayed the plan, but current president, Joko Widodo, now appears determined to make the move a reality. The government officially confirmed that the capital will be moved from Jakarta to a new location within Kalimantan, part of the island of Borneo in Indonesia.
A number of factors are likely to have influenced the decision to forge (艰苦做成) ahead with the move, but it seems likely that Jakarta’s environmental problems are chief among them. Built on swampy (沼泽的) ground, Jakarta is sinking, in some parts at a rate of 20cm a year. Experts predict that most of northern Jakarta could sink beneath the sea by 2050. What’s more, Jakarta is rarely mentioned without reference to its extreme levels of traffic jams and air pollution. There could be other reasons too. John McCarthy, an expert on land use in Kalimantan at the Australian National University Crawford School points to a potential desire to spread wealth throughout Indonesia. “Jakarta is the most highly developed core of Indonesia which sucks all the money and opportunities from other areas,” he says. “I think there’s logic in splitting the economic and political capital.”
But the location of this new political center is proving controversial. Some environmental groups are concerned that the chosen location in East Kalimantan will increase logging and destruction of nearby forests, home to orangutans and other endangered species. Indonesia’s planning minister previously told reporters that the new capital will be a sustainable “forest city” that won’t result in the destruction of protected forest, but how exactly this would work has not yet been explained.
Despite these challenges, the government is now putting its plan in motion. But even if this new capital is built, Jakarta will still need protection. Home to ten million people, the city simply can’t be neglected.
【1】What is the Indonesian government’s new plan?
A．Building a forest city.
B．Electing a new president.
C．Relocating the capital city.
D．Developing resources of Borneo.
【2】What may be the main reason for the government’s decision?
A．To reduce land pollution.
B．To make full use of swampy ground.
C．To seek better living environment.
D．To balance the economic growth between cities.
【3】What worries some people about the government’s choice?
A．It may cost a lot of money.
B．It may destroy the local ecosystem.
C．It may disrupt many residents’ normal life.
D．It may lead the decline of the old capital city.
【4】What is the suitable title for the passage?
A．Move to new.
B．City built on swamp.
C．Protect the Forest City.
D．Abandon the home.
23、 For most business speakers, the necessary stage time, structure, and conscious editing to bring about maximum effect just aren’t there — most people don’t have to speak often enough to get it. Conversely, the speakers who deliver their talk most tend to be the best and most polished. They know where the laugh lines are, they know what phrasing works best, and they know their timing. Just like standup comedians.
Standup comedy, at its basic principles, is a combination of material (what you say) and delivery (how you say it). It is no different than typical speeches or presentations. TV slots (节目时间) for new comedians tend to be under five minutes, which forces them to continuously refine and refine again in order to achieve maximum effect from each word. Conference organizers still tend to book speakers in 40-60 minute time slots but who, these days, has an hour to focus on one person? Some of the best speeches in history have clocked in at less than 20 minutes. Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address was 272 words and lasted two minutes. Winston Churchill’s “Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat” speech was 688 words. The most powerful emotional expression two humans can say to each other is just three words: “I,” “love,” and “care.”
Most people switch off at around the ten-minute mark. As mentioned in Brain Rules, studies by noted educator Wilbert McKeachie demonstrate that “typically, attention increases from the beginning of the lecture to ten minutes into the lecture and decreases after that point.” This is why the organization for online talk TED has shortened its earlier 18-minute format. They figured out that brevity is levity. However, many conference and event producers haven’t got it right. Most speakers can’t hold the attention of an audience for 40-60 minutes. It’s something even the best standup comedians battle with. Yet business speakers seldom ask for a shorter slot. They should.
【1】What pushes new standup comedians to improve their presentations?
A.The limited given time.
B.The topic of their speeches.
C.The audience’s expectation.
D.The place of their performance.
【2】Why does the author mention the best speeches in history in Paragraph 3?
A.To expand the influence of the two speeches.
B.To prove that powerful speeches can be brief.
C.To illustrate the power of emotional expressions.
D.To show how famous people shortened speeches.
【3】Why did TED reset a time limit?
A.The organizers can’t book long TV slots.
B.The audience cannot focus for a long time.
C.The access to online speeches was limited.
D.The speakers tend to deliver short speeches.
【4】What are business speakers advised to do?
A.To cut down their speech time.
B.To interact more with the audience.
C.To pay more attention to the contents.
D.To battle against the standup comedians.
