The schools weredismissed early, but much to my surprise, my 36 wasn’t canceled. So I went,feeling especially heroic. As far as I could see, I was risking my life to keep my37 . Snow or no snow, I would be on time for my scheduled donation at the local 38 center.When I got there, I discovered I wasn’t 39 . Four more “hero-types” were already lying back in donor chairs with lines 40 to their veins, and machines quietly pumping away to 41 their lifesaving gifts.Seeing my fellow donors honoring their own commitments, I realized why I was there. I lay back in my donor chair, ready to make a difference in the life of someone I would never 42 .To be honest, I’d never really thought about why I donate. I just do it. But a few months ago, during one of my 43 donations I learned that my blood was specifically for a cancer patient and for a newborn baby—both patients needed what I would give in order to live. I’ve viewed my visits to the blood center 44 ever since.My wife Karen is a 45 , too. And more importantly, she has been on the bone marrow (骨髓) list for fifteen years, ever since she signed up to provide bone marrow to a kindergartner with leukemia(白血病). That little girl died before Karen’s bone marrow could help her, 46 Karen was called again recently. Her test results were still on file, and it turned out she was a potential 47 for someone else. The caller asked Karen if she would still be willing to become a bone marrow donor. “Yes,” she said and then immediately began answering questions on the pages of paperwork for further testing. It was a race 48 time.I wish I could say that this 49 was won. It wasn’t. The caller later thanked Karen for her participation and asked a few more questions—including whether or not she’d 50 on the donor list. “Of course, “Karen answered.Last week Karen gave blood and next week I’ll make my usual donation. I’ll 51 an afternoon from my schedule and make an appointment. I don’t know whose life my donation may 52 . Most likely it will be a 53 , but on any day the person needing a blood product could be you or me or maybe a loved one.

It was time for the weekly eleventh-grade volleyball game. I knew I would never be the best 36 on any team. But every week, I stared at my shoes and simply wished I wouldn’t be picked 37 . And yet I was last almost every time. No team wanted the girl who always 38 the ball, and missed the easy serves.Years later I realized how much those moments of 39 had affected me. I began to expect the 40 in every situation, repeatedly telling myself that I just wasn’t good enough. I grew up staring at my 41 .All that began to 42 during the summer vacation in high school. My mom’s sister Aunt Karen, offered me a part-time job. I had always admired Aunt Karen 43 she was successful and led such an exciting life. Her good manner and warm smile were totally different from the 44 way I approached the world. But that summer she taught me to look at things 45 .Aunt Karen said that the secret 46 success comes from the inside, not the outside. I was shocked to learn her experience had been similar to mine. She hadn’t been good at 47 , either! Aunt Karen said she finally realized what other people thought of her didn’t 48 as much as what she thought of herself. She told me when she started noticing her own good qualities, she 49 being so self-critical.So that summer I took her 50 to heart. I listened to what I was saying to myself and decided to focus more on the good. For example, when I misfiled an important paper, I 51 myself of all the other ones I had filed correctly. And when I was shown the dirty closet, I said to myself that I would be great at 52 it. Before long I had learned a valuable lesson. 53 thinking actually works!By the time school started that fall, I was much more 54 . I went along with people around me with atotally different attitude. When my chemistry teacher announced that we should each find a lab partner, 55 looking down at my shoes, I looked up and smiled. And do you know what happened?

People call in, and you have to go out and make an offer. “You can’t 36 what you don’t have.” my father would say.When I was aged thirteen, my father lost his store 37 , a one-armed guy who could do more with his one arm than many will do with two. With his manager gone, my father came to me. “Will you come in while I go out to 38 the day’s calls until I find the 39 person?” he asked.The store has tens of thousands of 40 . “People like to bargain,” he told me, “So I don’t 41 prices. You just have to know a 42 .”He took me around. “A quarter-horse motor you can sell for four dollars. For a refrigerator, depending on the 43 , you can sell for thirty-five dollars to sixty dollars. However, if it has a freezer that goes well, sell it for eighty dollars, in 44 condition, maybe one hundred dollars. Dishes come in with a houseful of furniture, and I don’t even 45 them in when I give a price. You can sell them for a cent to a dollar. Something really nice.”Every day after 46 , I would ride to the store. Soon after, I was writing up a sales slip（纸条）for an attractive plate when my father walked in. I had asked a dollar and the guy did not 47 . I was very pleased. My father glanced down at what I was doing, 48 to the customer and said, “You sure got a bargain today. My employee gave you the 49 and that’s the price.”Afterward, I asked my father, “what was that all about ?”It turned out that it was an antique plate, worth a few hundred dollars. I was 50 . Here I was 51 to help my father in the business and instead I was losing money for him.He said, “I could’ve 52 the sales if I’d wanted to. You were just writing up the slip and hadn’t yet taken the money. Besides, by civil law, you’re under 53 .

In reality it has more to do with theway an individual talks to himself. Self﹣talk is a constant stream of thoughts of a person，who is often unaware and uncertain of some events，phenomena，people，or even the person himself.（1）Meanwhile，positive thinking can help to stop negative self﹣talks and start to form a positive view on an issue. People who regularly practise positive thinking tend to solve problems more effectively. They are less exposed to stress caused by external factors. They tend to believe in themselves and in what they do.（2）People who think positively demonstrate increased life spans （寿命），lower rates of depression and anxiety，better physical and psychological health，reduced risks of death from heart problems. Positive thinking also contributes to one's ability to deal with problems and hardships. （3）For example，researchers have found that in the case of a crisis accompanied by strong emotions，such as a natural disaster，positive thinking can provide a sort of buffer （缓冲作用）against depression and anxiety. Resilient （适应性强的）people who think positively tend to treat every problem as a challenge，a chance for improvement of any kind，or as an opportunity for personal growth. Pessimists，on the contrary，tend to perceive problems as a source of additional stress.（4）In conclusion，positive thinking is a powerful and effective tool for dealing with hard times and improving the quality of one's life. It doesn't have anything to do with ignorant optimism when an individual refuses to notice a problem. （5）Thinking in a positive，self﹣encouraging way brings about many benefits to one's physical and mental health.A．It doesn't cause any severe emotional discomfort，either.B．Negative self﹣talk damages self﹣confidence and decreases self﹣respect.C．It helps one to remain clear﹣headed and confident in difficult situations.D．Positive thinking has several beneficial effects on the body and the mind.E．As thinking changes，an individual's behaviour and habits change as well.F．They often offer a real alternative to the common and regular way of thinking.G．They often feel discouraged long before trying to solve the problem，even if small. 3．（2019•北京）Much of the work in today's world is accomplished （完成）in teams．Most people believe the best way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals．（1）Companies spend millions hiring top business people．Is their moneywell spent？（2）They focused on football，basketball and baseball．The results are mixed．For football and basketball，adding talented players to a team proves a good method，but only up to the point where 70% of the players are top talent；above that level，the team's performance begins to decline．Interestingly，this trend isn't evident in baseball，where additional individual talent keeps improving the team's performance．To explain tins phenomenon，the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate （协调）their actions．（3）In baseball，the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates．They conclude that when task interdependence is high，team performance will suffer when there is too much talent，while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task interdependence is lower．If a basketball star is，for example，trying to gain a high personal point total，he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate，affecting the team's performance．Young children learning to play team sports are often told，"There is no I in TEAM．" （4）Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team，some players may make less effort．Just as in a game of tug﹣of﹣war （拔河比赛），whenever a person is added，everyone else pulls the rope with less force．（5）An A﹣team may require a balance﹣not just A players，but a few generous B players as well．A．It's not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent．B．Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talent．C．The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers' attention．D．Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship．E．Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world．F．Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent．G．This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball．2017-2021年北京高考英语真题分类汇编之七选五参考答案与试题解析一．信息匹配（共3小题）1．（2021•北京）Music has long been considered to be an enjoyable pastime for many people.（1）F The mental health benefits from music can't be argued.Music could also be helping you withmany other health problems behind the scenes.（2）B However，for the same reason，music can be very beneficial if one is in pain.By distracting （分心）the mind from the pain，music，people say，can lower stress and anxiety levels.This，of course，can lead to less pain.Many people enjoy relaxing music in the evening prior to going to bed.（3）D While the validity of the idea is still being assessed，the lowered stress can even be tied back to blood pressure.Similarly，according to researchers，listening to just 30 minutes of soft music every day may help with healthy blood sugar levels，through the lowering of stress and anxiety.When it comes to heart health，there is speculation（推测）that it's not the style of music，but rather the tempo that makes it so good for your heart health.In one European study，participants listened to music as the researchers monitored their heart rates and blood pressure.（4）G On the other hand，when the music slowed，the participants' stress and anxiety levels became lower and the effects on heart rates appeared to follow suit.（5）E But there is a whole range of other health issues that turning up the radio could be beneficial for，which is what makes music so valuable.A.This feeling can also result in many other health problems.B.Some experts say that music can be harmful if it is too loud.C.This idea is a little off﹣the﹣wall but still has scientific backing.D.They say it can play a big role in calming the brain enough to sleep.E.The implications of music on overall well﹣being are really impressive.F.It is also highly popular due to the individualized effects on stress and anxiety.G.Interestingly，the more cheerful the music was，the faster their heart rates were.【考点】选句填空．【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是音乐对身体的好处。

The River Indians used it as a highway and as a source of food, and it was they who gave it its name—―misi‖ meaning ―great‖ and ―sipi‖ meaning ―water‖. When the length of its branch, the Missouri, is added to it, the Mississippi becomes greater. ___71___. From the source of the Missouri to the tip of the delta (三角洲), it is 2,480 miles long.Great rivers are likely to suffer floods. In 1927 the Mississippi flooded 26 thousand acres, sweeping away farms, towns, everything in its path. In 1938 its floods drowned or killed 200 people and made millions homeless. Today the river has largely been controlled. ___72___.Industries have spread down some of the waterways of the delta, but otherwise the delta is a remote place, the homeland of a little colony of French Canadians that the British drove out of Nova Scotia in the 18th century. They still speak French, mixed with English, Indian, Spanish and Negro idioms. They keep to themselves, farming the rich soil of the delta. ___73___.___74___. Pioneers who first reached its banks wondered not only where it went, but what lay beyond. In 1764 the French founded a city on the right bank of the river, and named it after their king, Louis XV. This city, named St. Louis, became the jumping-off place for the adventurous men and women who opened up the Great Plains, and the way to the Far West.Some 40 years earlier, at the beginning of the 18th century, the French had founded another city just above the Mississippi delta, New Orleans. ___75___.

T o a certain degree ,it‘s a matter of logic （逻辑）—of being a ble to spot weaknesses in other people ‗s argument and to avoid them in your own ,it also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence .In the broad sense, critical thinking is focused ,organized thinking –the ability to see clearlytheir relationships among ideas. 71 the greatest thinkers, scientists, and inventors have often taken information that was readily available and put it together differently to produce new ideas.that, too, is critical thinking.72 As the class goes on, for example, you will probably spend a good deal of time organizing your speeches. While this may seem like a purely mechanical（机械的）exercise, it is closely connected with critical thinking. If the structure of your speech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking. If the structure of your speech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking is also discovered and confused. If, on the other hand ,the structure is clear, there is a good chance your thinking is too. Organizing a speech is not a matter of arranging the ideas your already have. 73What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking. 74 As you work on expressing your ideas in clear, accurate language, you will Improve your ability to think clearly and accurately. 75 As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class. You will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations.If you take full advantage of your speech class, you will be able to develop your skills as critical thinker in many circumstances.

This may seem like a lot of time, but the rewards are well worth it.C. It may also help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech.D. It has often been said that there are few new ideas in the world, only reorganized ideas.E. If you are wondering what this has to do with your public speaking class, the answer is quite a lot.F. The skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a more effective thinker in a number of ways.G. As you study the role of evidence and reasoning in speechmaking ,you will see how they can be used in other forms of communication as well.Life Story of Dave ThomasSince 1989．Dave Thomas，who died of cancer at age 69 in his Fort Lauderdale home, was one of the most recognizable faces on TV. 1 “As long as it works,”he said in 1991, “I’ll continue to do those commercials.”2 “He still won’t let anyone see his feet，which are out of shape because he never had proper-fitting shoes,”Wendy said in 1993．Born to a single mother，he was adopted as a baby by Rex and Auleva Thomas of Kalamazoo in Michigan．After Auleva died when he was 5, Thomas spent years on the road as Rex traveled around seeking construction work．“He fed me,”Thomas said, “and if I got out of line．He’d beat me. ”Moving out on his own at 15,Thomas worked, first as a waiter，in many restaurants.3 “I thought if I owned a restaurant,”he said, “I could eat for free.”A 1956 meeting with Harland Sanders led Thomas to a career as a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant owner that made him a millionaire in 1968.In 1969, after breaking with Sanders，Thomas started the first Wendy‘s old Fashioned Hamburgers, in Columbus, Ohio，which set itself apart by serving made-to-order burgers 4 .Although troubled by his own experience with adoption，Thomas，married since 1954 to Lorraine．66．and with four grown kids besides Wendy，felt it could offer a future for other children. He started the Dave Thomas Foundation(基金会)for Adoption in 1992．In 1993，Thomas，who had left school at 15，graduated from Coconut Creek High School in Florida． 5 The kids voted him Most Likely to Succeed.“The Dave you saw on TV,”says friend Pat Williams，senior vice president of the Orlando Magic, “was the real Dave．He wasn‘t a great actor or a great speaker. He was just Joe Everybody.”A．But he had something much better in mind．B．He even took Lorraine to the graduation dance party．C．Even though he was successful，Thomas remained troubled by his childhood.D．By using his experience and determination，Thomas turned the restaurants around.E．With 6,000 restaurants worldwide，the chain now makes $6 billion a year in sales.F．He appeared in more than 800 commercials for the hamburger chain named for his daughter，now 40．G．He dropped out of school to work full-time．This decision to drop out haunted him until he went back to school 45 years later．Passage 7As is known to all, many things can be measured in terms of data. Sometimes data can indeed tell the truth. With the help of data we can easily know the price of a can of Coke in the supermarket or the result of a football match. 71 What is more important, data seem to be fairer than words or statements. If the data are true, we don‘t have to worry about being cheated. Nowadays, as lies exist in the world, data are expected to tell the truth. Therefore, many of us would rather believe data.On the other hand, if we judge things only by data from the so-called specific research, aren‘t we a little too narrow-minded? Many people often treat the so-called specific data unwisely just to make sure that they are making the right decisions. 72 For example, how can you tell that somebody isn‘t a good student just because he or she doesn‘t get high marks in the final examination?73 For example, the degree of your feeling happy in your life, the depth of love between you and your friends, and the faith you have in your country. We can only feel them in our hearts but can never express them in data.There is no doubt that analyzing the exact data is important to assessment of an actual event. But data should be dealt with wisely. We often get wrong data which mislead us.74 Remember, data have no feeling but we humans have. Data do not mean much to people if we do not have the abilities to analyze the data with the knowledge and confidence to judge whether they are true or false. 75Data are data after all. Life is much more colourful than the pale data. So give the cold data a warm heart and we‘ll find that the world is far more wonderful than the pale data can describe.A. We should try our best to be wise thinkers.B. Data can make our life easier and more comfortable.C. But sometimes we may find that data aren‘t everything.D. Sometimes our hearts and mind are more sensitive than data.E. Now and then the so-called specific data puzzle us very much.F. The exact data should come from assessment of an actual event.G. There are many things in our life which cannot be measured by data.1.（Key: AECDB）2.71. G 72. E 73. A 74. F 75. C3. 71. G 72. E 73. A 74. F 75. C4.71. C 72. B 73. G 74. D 75. A 5.DEAFG6.Keys :1.

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Every animal sleeps，but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep，they die within a month. __71__One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. __72__ We know that，while awake，fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强)connections between brain cells，but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight，making room for fresh memories to form the next day. __73__Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. __74__ The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep，showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.If Tononi's theory is right，it would explain why，when we miss a night's sleep, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information—our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. __75__ “You keep what matters，”Tononi says.A．We should also try to sleep well the night before.B．It's as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.C．Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.D．The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.E．That's why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.F．“Sleep is the price we pay for learning，” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.G．Tononi's team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.【要点综述】文章为说明文，讲的是动物为什么要睡眠，并给出两种观点：“帮助增强新的记忆”和“为新记忆腾地方”。

If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping. I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insects bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 36The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer.37 We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor`s bill for my son`s food poisoning.I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness.38 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.39 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.40 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.A．This time there was no tent.B．Things are going to be improved.C．The trip they took me on was a rough one.D． I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.E．I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.F. After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.【答案】【文章大意】三年前，作者对露营一无所知，也不认为自己会喜欢露营。

Since then, Ken lives in trouble.此后，肯的生活陷入困境。

Snow or no snow, I would be on time for my scheduled donation at the local 38 center.When I got there, I discovered I wasn’t 39 . Four more “hero-types”were already lying back in donor chairs with lines 40 to their veins, and machines quietly pumping away to 41 their lifesaving gifts.Seeing my fellow donors honoring their own commitments, I realized why I was there. I lay back in my donor chair, ready to make a difference in the life of someone I would never 42 .To be honest, I’d never really thought about why I donate. I just do it. But a few months ago, during one of my 43 donations I learned that my blood was specifically for a cancer patient and for a newborn baby—both patients needed what I would give in order to live. I’ve viewed my visits to the blood center 44 ever since.My wife Karen is a 45 , too.

The caller asked Karen if she would still be willing to become a bone marrow donor. “Yes,”she said and then immediately began answering questions on the pages of paperwork for further testing. It was a race 48 time.I wish I could say that this 49 was won. It wasn’t. The caller later thanked Karen for her participation and asked a few more questions—including whether or not she’d 50 on the donor list. “Of course, “Karen answered.Last week Karen gave blood and next week I’ll make my usual donation.

It was time for the weekly eleventh-grade volleyball game. I knew I would never be the best 36 on any team. But every week, I stared at my shoes and simply wished I wouldn’t be picked 37 . And yet I was last almost every time. No team wanted the girl who always 38 the ball, and missed the easy serves.Years later I realized how much those moments of 39 had affected me. I began to expect the 40 in every situation, repeatedly telling myself that I just wasn’t good enough.I grew up staring at my 41 .All that began to 42 during the summer vacation in high school. My mom’s sister Aunt Karen, offered me a part-time job. I had always admired Aunt Karen 43 she was successful and led such an exciting life. Her good manner and warm smile were totally different from the 44 way I approached the world. But that summer she taught me to look at things 45 .Aunt Karen said that the secret 46 success comes from the inside, not the outside. I was shocked to learn her experience had been similar to mine. She hadn’t been good at 47 , either! Aunt Karen said she finally realized what other people thought of her didn’t 48 as much as what she thought of herself. She told me when she started noticing her own good qualities, she 49 being so self-critical.So that summer I took her 50 to heart. I listened to what I was saying to myself and decided to focus more on the good. For example, when I misfiled an important paper, I 51 myself of all the other ones I had filed correctly. And when I was shown the dirty closet, I said to myself that I would be great at 52 it. Before long I had learned a valuable lesson. 53 thinking actually works!By the time school started that fall, I was much more 54 . I went along with people around me with a totally different attitude. When my chemistry teacher announced that we should each find a lab partner, 55 looking down at my shoes, I looked up and smiled.

People call in, and you have to go out and make an offer. “You can’t 36 what you don’t have.”my father would say.When I was aged thirteen, my father lost his store 37 , a one-armed guy who could do more with his one arm than many will do with two. With his manager gone, my father came to me. “Will you come in while I go out to 38 the day’s calls until I find the 39 person?”he asked.The store has tens of thousands of 40 . “People like to bargain,”he told me, “So I don’t 41 prices. You just have to know a 42 .”He took me around. “A quarter-horse motor you can sell for four dollars. For a refrigerator, depending on the 43 , you can sell for thirty-five dollars to sixty dollars. However, if it has a freezer that goes well, sell it for eighty dollars, in 44 condition, maybe one hundred dollars. Dishes come in with a houseful of furniture, and I don’t even 45 them in when I give a price. You can sell them for a cent to a dollar. Something really nice.”Every day after 46 , I would ride to the store. Soon after, I was writing up a sales slip （纸条）for an attractive plate when my father walked in. I had asked a dollar and the guy did not 47 . I was very pleased. My father glanced down at what I was doing, 48 to the customer and said, “You sure got a bargain today. My employee gave you the 49 andthat’s the price.”Afterward, I asked my father, “what was that all about ?”It turned out that it was an antique plate, worth a few hundred dollars. I was 50 . Here I was 51 to help my father in the business and instead I was losing money for him.He said, “I could’ve 52 the sales if I’d wanted to. You were just writing up the slip and hadn’t yet taken the money. Besides, by civil law, you’re under 53 . But, a man stands by his word and the word of his 54 .”The deal cost my father a small amount of money, but I learned a 55 lesson in integrity（正直）.36. A. buy B. sell C. order D. store37.

The River Indians used it as a highway and as a source of food, and it was they who gave it its name—“misi” meaning “great” and “sipi” meaning “water”. When the length of its branch, the Missouri, is added to it, the Mississippi becomes greater. ___71___. From the source of the Missouri to the tip of the delta (三角洲), it is 2,480 miles long.Great rivers are likely to suffer floods. In 1927 the Mississippi flooded 26 thousand acres, sweeping away farms, towns, everything in its path. In 1938 its floods drowned or killed 200 people and made millions homeless. Today the river has largely been controlled. ___72___.Industries have spread down some of the waterways of the delta, but otherwise the delta is a remote place, the homeland of a little colony of French Canadians that the British drove out of Nova Scotia in the 18th century. They still speak French, mixed with English, Indian, Spanish and Negro idioms. They keep to themselves, farming the rich soil of the delta. ___73___.___74___. Pioneers who first reached its banks wondered not only where it went, but what lay beyond. In 1764 the French founded a city on the right bank of the river, and named it after their king, Louis XV. This city, named St. Louis, became the jumping-off place for the adventurous men and women who opened up the Great Plains, and the way to the Far West.Some 40 years earlier, at the beginning of the 18th century, the French had founded another city just above the Mississippi delta, New Orleans. ___75___. New Orleans is one of the great ports of the world, and one of the greatest terminals for both sea and river traffic.A. It was the Mississippi that made the city what it isB. Levees, high banks built of earth, hold back the flood watersC. Therefore, as we know, it’s the third longest river in the worldD. It is known that the “Great Water” has also been a frontier riverE. However, they paddled up and down the Mississippi in their boats to seek their fortuneF. The “Great Water” always remains a thread, for the streets of the city are below the level of the riverG. They call themselves Cajuns, who have actually been leading fairly primitive lives and preserving theirown traditionsPassage 5A. Rather Public speaking and critical thinkingWhat is critical thinking? T o a certain degree ,it’s a matter of logic （逻辑）—of being a ble to spot weaknesses in other people ‘s argument and to avoid them in your own ,it also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence .In the broad sense, critical thinking is focused ,organized thinking –the ability to see clearlytheir relationships among ideas. 71 the greatest thinkers, scientists, and inventors have often taken information that was readily available and put it together differently to produce new ideas.that, too, is critical thinking.72 As the class goes on, for example, you will probably spend a good deal of time organizing your speeches. While this may seem like a purely mechanical（机械的）exercise, it is closely connected with critical thinking. If the structure of your speech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking. If the structure of your speech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking is also discovered and confused. If, on the other hand ,the structure is clear, there is a good chance your thinking is too. Organizing a speech is not a matter of arranging the ideas your already have. 73What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking. 74 As you work on expressing your ideas in clear, accurate language, you will Improve your ability to think clearly and accurately. 75 As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class. You will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations.If you take full advantage of your speech class, you will be able to develop your skills as critical thinker in many circumstances. This is one reason public speaking has been regarded as a vital part of education since the days of ancient Greece.A, it is an important part of shaping the ideas themselves.B. This may seem like a lot of time, but the rewards are well worth it.C. It may also help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech.D. It has often been said that there are few new ideas in the world, only reorganized ideas.E. If you are wondering what this has to do with your public speaking class, the answer is quite a lot.F. The skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a more effective thinker in a number of ways.G. As you study the role of evidence and reasoning in speechmaking ,you will see how they can be used in other forms of communication as well.Passage 6Life Story of Dave ThomasSince 1989．Dave Thomas，who died of cancer at age 69 in his Fort Lauderdale home, was one of the most recognizable faces on TV. 1 “As long as it works,”he said in 1991, “I’ll continue to do those commercials.”2 “He still won’t let anyone see his feet，which are out of shape because he never had proper-fitting shoes,”Wendy said in 1993．Born to a single mother，he was adopted as a baby by Rex and Auleva Thomas of Kalamazoo in Michigan．After Auleva died when he was 5, Thomas spent years on the road as Rex traveled around seeking construction work．“He fed me,”Thomas said, “and if I got out of line．He’d beat me. ”Moving out on his own at 15,Thomas worked, first as a waiter，in many restaurants.3 “I thought if I owned a restaurant,”he said, “I could eat for free.”A 1956 meeting with Harland Sanders led Thomas to a career as a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant owner that made him a millionaire in 1968.In 1969, after breaking with Sanders，Thomas started the first Wendy’s old Fashioned Hamburgers, in Columbus, Ohio，which set itself apart by serving made-to-order burgers 4 .Although troubled by his own experience with adoption，Thomas，married since 1954 to Lorraine．66．and with four grown kids besides Wendy，felt it could offer a future for other children. He started the Dave Thomas Foundation(基金会)for Adoption in 1992．In 1993，Thomas，who had left school at 15，graduated from Coconut Creek High School in Florida． 5 The kids voted him Most Likely to Succeed.“The Dave you saw on TV,”says friend Pat Williams，senior vice president of the Orlando Magic, “was the real Dave．He wasn’t a great actor or a great speaker. He was just Joe Everybody.”A．But he had something much better in mind．B．He even took Lorraine to the graduation dance party．C．Even though he was successful，Thomas remained troubled by his childhood.D．By using his experience and determination，Thomas turned the restaurants around.E．With 6,000 restaurants worldwide，the chain now makes $6 billion a year in sales.F．He appeared in more than 800 commercials for the hamburger chain named for his daughter，now 40．G．He dropped out of school to work full-time．This decision to drop out haunted him until he went back to school 45 years later．Passage 7As is known to all, many things can be measured in terms of data. Sometimes data can indeed tell the truth. With the help of data we can easily know the price of a can of Coke in the supermarket or the result of a football match. 71 What is more important, data seem to be fairer than words or statements. If the data are true, we don’t have to worry about being cheated. Nowadays, as lies exist in the world, data are expected to tell the truth. Therefore, many of us would rather believe data.On the other hand, if we judge things only by data from the so-called specific research, aren’t we a little too narrow-minded? Many people often treat the so-called specific data unwisely just to make sure that they are making the right decisions. 72 For example, how can you tell that somebody isn’t a good student just because he or she doesn’t get high marks in the final examination?73 For example, the degree of your feeling happy in your life, the depth of love between you and your friends, and the faith you have in your country. We can only feel them in our hearts but can never express them in data.There is no doubt that analyzing the exact data is important to assessment of an actual event. But data should be dealt with wisely. We often get wrong data which mislead us.74 Remember, data have no feeling but we humans have. Data do not mean much to people if we do not have the abilities to analyze the data with the knowledge and confidence to judge whether they are true or false. 75Data are data after all. Life is much more colourful than the pale data. So give the cold data a warm heart and we’ll find that the world is far more wonderful than the pale data can describe.A. We should try our best to be wise thinkers.B. Data can make our life easier and more comfortable.C. But sometimes we may find that data aren’t everything.D. Sometimes our hearts and mind are more sensitive than data.E. Now and then the so-called specific data puzzle us very much.F. The exact data should come from assessment of an actual event.G. There are many things in our life which cannot be measured by data.1.（Key: AECDB）2.71. G 72. E 73. A 74. F 75. C3. 71. G 72. E 73. A 74. F 75. C4.71. C 72. B 73. G 74. D 75. A 5.DEAFG6.Keys :1.

If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping.I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insects bites,ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 36 The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer.37 We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two daysoff from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor`s bill for my son`s food poisoning.I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness.38 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.39 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.40 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature.I recommend that you find your way in style.A．This time there was no tent.B．Things are going to be improved.C．The trip they took me on was a rough one.D． I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.E．I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.F. After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.【答案】【文章大意】三年前，作者对露营一无所知，也不认为自己会喜欢露营。
