21、When you’re giving a speech to an audience, there isn’t a one-stop-shop approach that will address every individual.【1】You need to consider carefully the content at the planning stage of your speech.
【2】Larger audiences often have little or no audience participation, so you need to ensure that your speech fills the time slot(空档) allocated. To attain the attention of a larger audience, your tone and body language is also more important, and maintaining eye contact with as many individuals is vital.【3】This means you’ll need to prepare enough material to fill the time slot if needed, but allow for questions or comments throughout while still delivering your message in the time you have.
The second hurdle to overcome is that you naturally have lots of different types of people in the room.【4】As a general rule, there are 4 different ways people learn: visual, auditory, reading and writing and kinaesthetic. Including elements of each learning style will help to engage more of your audience, and assist in connecting with different audiences.
Another way you’ll need to adapt your speech is whether you are addressing other experts in the same field, or if you are talking to beginners or an audience with limited knowledge. Targeting these two types of audience will be a bigger and more difficult task.【5】Trying to target both experts and beginners with the same speech could alienate(疏远) both parties and result in the loss of engagement completely.
A．They learn and take in information in many different ways.
B．You are talking to a particular age group, gender or profession.
C．The most effective way is to create two versions of your speech.
D．Audiences, large or small, are complex and have different requirements.
E．Adapting your speech based on the audience size is your first action-point.
F．No matter how much you prepare, you may find you are losing audience engagement.
G．For smaller audiences they have more opportunity to be more conversational and relaxed.
22、How different can other cultures be？Very different！People probably speak different languages and have beliefs and customs very different from yours. They can eat different foods and live in different types of houses. However，they can also be similar in ways of connecting with each other. We sometimes call these means of communication universal（共同的）languages.
Some legends hold that，thousands of years ago，there was a single language spoken by everyone on Earth. Of course，historical evidence does not support this，but it is fun to think about a time when everyone may have been able to communicate in the same language.
Today，there are thousands of languages spoken around the world. Yet，there are some means of communication that go beyond words and allow people of different backgrounds to communicate and share emotions and feelings. For example，some people believe music is a universal language. There may be some scientific support for this idea. Experts have learned that，across cultures，people can recognize three common emotions in music:happiness，sadness and fear.
So what other types of universal languages might there be？Some people believe dance is a universal language. Along with music，dancing seems to be a common interest shared by people all over the world. Do you think you could see a dance from another culture and make some reasonable（合理的）guesses about the ideas and emotions behind it？We bet you could！
Another universal language that you might not have thought of is mathematics! If you think about it now, it just makes sense. The value of pi is roughly 3. 14159 no matter where you are on Earth. Similarly, figuring out the value of something involves the same mathematical calculations, regardless of whether you' re counting in dollars, pesos or coconuts.
【1】The first paragraph is mainly to tell us that ___________.
A．cultures are extremely different
B．people like eating different foods
C．people can communicate in similar ways
D．people now live in all kinds of cultures
【2】The underlined word“this”in Paragraph 2 probably refers to ___________.
A．the view that people used one language
B．the fact that there used to be many languages
C．the evidence that proves old languages funny
D．the doubt that people didn't understand each other
【3】Music is regarded as a universal language probably because ___________.
A．it can be easier to understand than languages
B．many of the people like listening to music
C．it usually comes from different backgrounds
D．it helps people to share common feelings
【4】What are universal languages according to this passage?
A．Mathematics, English and art.
B．Music, dance and mathematics.
C．Politics, economy and culture.
D．Diet, clothes and health.
23、 English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.
However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.
【1】According to the passage ________.
A．sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things
B．there should be egg in an eggplant
C．pineapples are the apples on the pine tree
D．boxing rings should be round
【2】Which of the following is the correct plural?
A．Beeth.
B．Geese.
C．Meese.
D．Tooth.
【3】Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?
A．A wise man and a wise guy.
B．Overlook and oversee.
C．Quite a lot and quite a few.
D．Hot as hell and cold as hell.
【4】The underlined words “wind up” in the last paragraph probably mean “________”.
A．blow
B．roll up
C．get hurt
D．finish
【5】Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ________.
A．clever
B．crazy
C．lazy
D．dull
24、Technology is making life easier for some dairy farmers. They use robotic systems to milk their cows. Cows are trained to follow a series of paths that lead to milking stations. Only one cow at a time can enter a station.
Once inside，the cow is rewarded with food. As the cow eats，a robotic arm cleans and connects the animal to the milking machine. A few minutes later，milking is complete. The gate is opened，the cow is released and the next cow enters.
The robotic systems are designed to operate 24 hours a day. The cows get to decide when they want to be milked. Cows are milked an average of about three times a day. Some are milked four to six times a day.
The cows wear collars around their necks that identify them to the system. A computer keeps records on their eating and milking. A cow is released from the station if the computer decides it should not be milked.
The automated system also measures the temperature and color of freshly produced milk. Milk is thrown away if it does not pass the tests.
Professor Plaut believes the systems will appeal especially to the next generation of farmers. She means young people who are more interested in technology and less interested in working all the time on the farm. Still，she says the price of robotic milking systems will continue to limit their use.
Doug and Tina Suhr have more than 100 cows on their family farm. Last year it became the fourth farm in southeast Minnesota to get a robotic milking system. A recent story in a local agricultural newspaper said the first robot costs 175,000 dollars. The second costs 150,000 dollars.
Doug told AgriNews that wages that would have been paid for one employee in five years will pay for one robot. He says the increase in milk production reaches a high of more than six kilograms per cow per day.
【1】According to Doug，what is the wage of an employee per year?
A. $150,000～$175,000. B. $150,000～$30,000.
C. $30,000～$35,000. D. over $75,000.
【2】Besides milking cows，the robotic system also can ________.
A. judge the quality of fresh milk
B. keep fresh milk for two weeks
C. adjust the temperature of milking stations
D. improve the appetite of cows
【3】Why is the robotic system not popular now?
A. Because it usually causes the waste of milk.
B. Because it is difficult to learn how to use it.
C. Because young people have no interest in it.
D. Because people can't afford to buy it.
【4】From the first paragraph，we can infer ________.
A. cows can be raised by robots in the future
B. robots direct cows into milking stations
C. the robotic system is designed to reduce labor
D. cows are kept clean by robots on some farms

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was the night before Christmas and Rob was lying in bed, thinking about the next day. His family was poor, living entirely on the farm they ran, and most of the excitement of Christmas was in the turkey they had raised themselves and pumpkin pies his mother made. He rolled over to look at his old watch—it was two o’clock. Three hours later, his father would call him to get up, even if it was Christmas.
His father never talked about loving him—he had no time for such things. There was always so much to do on the farm. “Or, maybe, he just doesn’t love me,” Rob thought. He had a reason to think so. At 5 o’clock every morning, his father would call him to get up and help with the farm work. He had to go to the barn (畜棚) to hold the milking pails (挤奶桶) steadily when his father was milking the cows. He had to help put the tools in place and do the cleaning after the milking. He hated it that he had to do all these things at so early time.
He was not the only one awake at this night. He heard his parents whispering in the next room. “Mary, I hate to call Rob in the mornings. He’s growing so fast and he needs his sleep. If you could see how he sleeps when I go in to wake him up! I wish I could manage alone.”
“Well, you can’t, Adam.” His mother’s voice was gentle, “Besides, he isn’t a child anymore. It’s time he took his turn.”
“Yes,” his father said slowly. “But I do hate to wake him.”
When he heard these words, something in him spoke: his father loved him! He had never thought of that before, taking for granted the tie of their blood. Now that he knew his father loved him, he had to do something different on this Christmas. He did save and buy them each something every year, but he wished he had a better present for his father instead of the usual tie from the ten-cent store.
