24．（8分）Often speakers at a meeting experience dry mouths and ask for a glass of water．You can

solve the problem by activating the saliva（唾液）in you mouth．First gently bite the edges of your

tongue with your teeth．Or，press your entire tongue to the bottom of your mouth and hold it there

until the saliva flow．Or you can imagine that you are slicing a big juicy lemon and sucking the

juice．

Before you begin your talk，be kind to your voice．Avoid milk or creamy drinks which coat your

throat．Keep your throat wet by drinking a little sweetened warm tea or water﹣down fruit juice．

If you sense that you are losing your voice，stop talking completely．Save your voice for your

speech．You may feel foolish using paper to write notes，but the best thing you can do is to rest

your voice．If you feel the need to see a doctor，perhaps getting some advice from a professional

singer can be a better choice．In the meantime，do not even talk in a low voice．

What about drinking alcohol to wet your throat？I advise you not to touch alcohol before

speaking．The problem with alcohol is that one drink gives you a little confidence．The second

drink gives you even more confidence．Finally you will feel all﹣powerful and you will feel you

can do everything，but in fact your brain and your mouth do not work together properly．Save the

alcohol until after you finish speaking．

Perhaps you want to accept the advice，but you may wonder if you can ever change the habits of a

lifetime．Of course you can．Goethe，who lived before indoor skating rinks or swimming pools，said，"We learn to skate in the summer and swim in the winter．"Take this message to heart and

give yourself time to develop your new habits．If you are wiling to change，you will soon be able

to say that you will never forget these techniques because they've become a part of your body．

your talk？

A．Going to see a doctor．

B．Asking a professional singer for help．

C．Whispering the things that you want to say．

D．Keeping on talking rather than use a paper to write notes．

26．According to the text，what will happen to your speech when you drink alcohol？

A．Your face will be redder and more shining．

B．Your mouth and thought will not be in line．

C．You will be so confident as to carry out your speech perfectly well．

28．（8分）For centuries，mankind and dogs have suffered from a communication failure．We can

tell dogs what we want them to do and sometimes they comply，but we've always struggled when

it comes to understanding the true meaning of their barks and whimpers．There is exciting news

now﹣a dog translator has been invented to help you communicate with your furry friend．

Researchers at North Carolina State University have fashioned some kind of miracle dog

translator body harness（束腰带）．What's special about it is that it doesn't just rely on the dog's

vocalizations to interpret what Fido is banging on about．

Oh no﹣this miracle harness reads and interprets the ordinary dogs'body language as well，giving

us a full two﹣way dog communication experience．

Researcher David Roberts says："Dogs communicate primarily through body language，and one of

our challenges was to develop sensors that tell us about their behavior by observing their posture

remotely．"

Sensors on the harness monitor the dog's heart rate and body temperature and software builds up a

vocabulary，letting the human know what the dog is feeling．

What would dogs say if they could talk to us？The human can even communicate back through

the harness thanks to vibration motors，supposedly by tapping into the dog's senses so that it can

understand what you're trying to say to it．

The dog harness is designed for dogs involved in search and rescue and other front﹣line work，but it's got us dreaming of a beautiful future，one where humans and dogs can co﹣exist as equals，with the dog able to fully express itself at all times．

28．Why can't people communicate with dogs？

B．They have no idea about dogs'behavior in relation to their posture．

C．They don't know how to tell dogs what they want them to do．

D．They don't have a machine to translate the dogs'language．

A．It is designed for dogs to understand what people are trying to say to them．

B．It is designed for a full two﹣way dog communication experience．

C．It is designed to monitor the dog's heart rate and body temperature．

D．It is designed for dogs doing seach and rescue and other front﹣line work．

32．（8分）The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals

may play a significant role in the process of recovery from illness．

soften the hard edges of modern buildings．Of the 2，500National Health Service hospitals in
