A

Dereck Joubert and his wife, Beverly, have made many films about wild animals in Africa. Their films and photographs are very popular and one of the photographs has been on the front cover of a National Geographic magazine.

A working day for Dereck and Beverly started very early—at 4:30 in the morning! That’s when they get up and start filming. And it’s a long day—they often work until 8:30 in the evening. In the winter it’s very cold and in the summer it can be 40C. Dereck always does the filming—Beverly never does that, and she doesn’t write. But Dereck never takes photographs or records the sound. They work very well as a team, and they both believe we should shoot animals with cameras—not with guns!

When they have finished filming and taking photographs for the day, they have dinner and Dereck usually writes while Beverly looks at her photographs. At night, they usually sleep in a small tent, but they sometimes sleep in the Land Cruiser—when they’re very close to wild animals, it’s sometimes safer to sleep in the car!

Dereck and Beverly have also traveled around the world and given talks about their work. Dereck says that the animals are not just something to look at—they play an important role. Beverly thinks the wild animals can teach us a lot about ourselves.

1. Dereck and Beverly start working_________.

A. at 4:30 in the morning                 B. at 4:30 in the afternoon

Making an organized presentation(报告）starts with your introduction. The introduction opens your speech. It’s common for many presenters to start their talks with the sentence like "My name is...” or "Today I’m going to talk to you about...”,but this is not much of an introduction.

A good introduction in a formal（正式的) presentation must achieve three goals:

●Win the listeners’ attention.

●Make the topic and the purpose of the talk clear.

●Provide a general description of what you will cover in the talk.

Useful tips for winning listeners’ attention:

●Quote(引述）someone else.  A quote is words said by someone else that is helpful to what you're going to talk about. When using a quote, you need to do two things: Mention where the words come from and connect the quote with your topic.

  ●Tell a joke.  A touch of humor in good taste is a great way to break the ice, making people relaxed. The key is that the joke must be connected with the topic you’re going to talk about, or it will take the listeners’ attention away from your speech, making them lose interest in your presentation.

●Share a story.  A short story is another clever way to start a presentation. To work, the story needs to show a key point or include a message that you can connect with the talk.

4.To make a good introduction, you must make sure________.

A. the purpose of the talk is clear   B. the listeners are well-educated

C. your story covers all the points   D. the topic is popular with others

5.What may happen if the joke you tell has nothing to do with your topic?

A. The speech may turn out to be successful.

B. Listeners may have a good laugh about it.

C. You may get nervous and worried.

D. Listeners may lose interest in the presentation.

6.The quote, joke and story you use need to________.

A. show good taste     B. be connected with the topic

C. have to do with yourself   D. make people relaxed

7.What is the passage mainly about?

A. How to quote others properly.             B. How to choose a joke with good taste.

C. How to communicate with others.          D.How to make an introduction in a presentation.

You have heard the expression “horse sense”. As you may imagine, it came from the time when the majority of people traveled in vehicles drawn by horses. A horse does have a lot of common sense, and there are many true stories about horses having saved their drivers from danger of death.

Today for the most part, people travel by train, ship, airplane, and car, but very little by the use of horses. Modern vehicles are propelled by engines, and an engine does not have any sense. In case of danger, many horses could be depended on to help. Not so with the engine, the driver must do all the things.

 In recent years, the speed of travel has increased greatly. The increased speed comes greatly increased danger. The driver of a powerful engine needs to be careful. A moment of being careless may cost a life. In order to drive today, a person must be able to see clearly, and he must learn and follow carefully the rules for safety on the road. Greater attention is the price we pay for using a machine instead of a horse.

12. The passage mainly talks about ______.

A. engines    B. safe driving    C. using horses    D. modern machines

13. The underlined word “propel” in the second paragraph means ______.

A. repair    B. raise    C. push forward    D. made

Dear Mary，

How is everything going？Now I would like to share something with you about my new school.

Located in the center of our city, our school is a key school with a history of 70 years. Because it is equipped with all kinds of facilities，our school is beautiful as well as modern .In fact，I get along well with my classmates and my study. To be honest，what attracts me most is the library，where I can easily get access to much knowledge with group members and solve problems by myself. Personally, I do enjoy it.

How about your school life? Looking forward to your early reply.

Yours，
