The field in which this practice is most common is that of politics. So, what does it take to be a political speechwriter?According to a recent job advertisement put out by the US Embassy in Britain, a political speechwriter needs to have (23) _____, be detail oriented and be able to demonstrate a profound knowledge of the subject. They must also be able to work closely with the speakers they write for, and be able to relate to an individual’s style.Some people believe that the best speechwriters have an inherent talent, a (24) _____, and that speech writing is an art form. So what about those of us who do not possess such genius? Can we still produce successful speeches?In an interview with the BBC, Dr Max Atkinson, a(25)_____, outlined a number of speech-writing techniques. He also illustrated how these techniques have been used in historic speeches.One such technique is (26)_____. This is especially useful in trying to put a positive spin on a negative issue. One of the most famous examples of this was presented in a speech given by former American President John F Kennedy: “Ask not what your country can do for, you, but what you can do for your country.”Another technique is the use of a (27) ____. Dr Atkinson explains that this can be an excellent way of adding finality and confirming a statement. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was a fan of this technique.

A few other techniques you might find in a speech writer’s toolbox are the use of imagery, anecdotes and (29)____.

Each passage is followed by several questions. Respond to the questions according to the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Section A (10 marks)Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.On New Year’s Day, 1985, Michael Harrison phoned his father, Sir Ernest, to wish him a Happy New Year. Sir Ernest was chairman of Racal Electronics, the owner of V odafone, and his son was making the first-ever mobile phone call in the UK.Later that morning, comedian Ernie Wise made a very publicmobile phone call from St Katherine’s Dock, in East London, toannounce that V odafone was now open for business. A few dayslater, its only rival, Cellnet, a joint venture between BT andSecuricor, was also in business.At the time, mobile phones weighed almost a kilogram, costseveral thousand pounds and, in some cases, provided only 20minutes of “talk time”. The networks themselves were small; V odafone had just a dozen masts covering London and the area west of London, while Cellnet started with a single mast, stuck on the BT Tower. Neither company had any idea of the huge potential of wireless communication and the dramatic impact that mobile phones would have over the next quarter century.“We projected there would only be about a million ever sold, and that we would get about,35% of the market. BT projected there would be about half a million mobile phones sold and that they would get about 80% of the market,” remembers Sir Christopher Gent, former V odafone chief executive who was at St Katherine’s Dock a quarter of a century ago. “In the first year, we sold about 15,000 to 20,000 phones. The portable Motorola was about ￡3,000 but most of the phones we sold were car phones from companies such as Panasonic and Nokia.”Hardly anyone believed there would come a day when mobile phones were so popular that there would be more phones in the UK than there are people. But in 1999 one mobile phone was sold in the UK every four seconds, and by 2004 there were more mobile phones in the UK than people.The boom was a result of increased competition—which pushed prices lower and created innovations in the way that mobiles were sold, helping put them within the reach of the mass market—and the move to digital technology.Questions 61 to 65Decide whether the following statements are True or False.61. The first-ever mobile phone call in the UK was made by a comedian.62. V odafone and Cellnet were the first two mobile phone providers in the UK.63. Motorola was the first company to make car phones.64. There are now more mobile phones than people in the UK.65. Digital technology and increased competition allowed the mobile phone to become availableto everyone.Section B (10 marks)Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage.Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (often shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is generally thought of as one of the greatest books for children in the history of English literature, and has also been enjoyed by many older readers. It was written by theEnglish writer Lewis Carroll (a pseudonym: his real namewas Charles Dodgson) in 1865, but still seems original todayand was recently made into a successful film by theAmerican director Tim Burton.The story of Alice in Wonderland takes place in astrange fantasy world that is sometimes amusing andsometimes a bit frightening. It contains all sorts of strangecharacters, including many talking animals. Few eventsseem to follow any logic, many characters talk in an oddway or ask questions that are impossible to answer, andnothing appears real.The main character is Alice, a seven-year-old girl. Onesummer day she is sitting by a river with her sister when shesees something very strange: a white rabbit wearing a coatand a watch. Curious, she runs after the rabbit and arrives at a large rabbit hole in the ground, which she decides to enter. She starts falling down the hole, and when she gets to the bottom she finds herself in a different world.Among the many bizarre things Alice finds in this different world are a liquid that makes her very small when she drinks it; a talking caterpillar sitting on a mushroom; a smiling cat thatdisappears but leaves its smile behind; a tea party that never ends; a game of croquet where the mallets are flamingoes and the balls are hedgehogs; and a playing card, the Queen of Hearts, that has come to life and has a very bad temper.At the end of the story Alice is suddenly back by the river again, with her sister telling her she has been asleep. We then understand that her strange journey was a dream.One big difference between the book and Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is that in the film Alice is nineteen, not seven. The film also has some characters and events that are not from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland but instead from the sequel that Lewis Carroll wrote in 1871: Through the Looking-Glass.Questions 66 to 70Answer the following questions with information given in the passage in a maximum of 10 words for each question.66. What was Lewis Carroll’s real first name?67. What kind of questions do many characters ask in the story?68. How old is Alice in the book and the film?69. What are flamingoes and hedgehogs used as in the book?70. Who speaks to Alice at the end of the story?Section C (10 marks)Questions 71 to 75 are based on the following passageTens of millions of television viewers around theworld have become familiar with the musical talent showThe X Factor, which originated in Britain in 2004 and hassince become an international franchise. In some countriesthe name is different—for example, Factor X in Spain andXSeer Al Najah in Arabic-speaking countries—but theformat is usually the same: aspiring pop singers or groupscompete in front of a small group of judges, and a largestudio audience, for the prize of a lucrative recording contract.The British version of the show has been enormously successful. Broadcast on Saturday evenings between August and December, it is watched by an average of around 13 million people—more than a fifth of the population. The studio audience is extremely enthusiastic (at times almost hysterical) and the four judges, who give their opinions immediately after each performance, are usually jeered if they make negative comments. The TV audience votes by telephone for their favourite singer, and on Sunday evening the results are announced in a follow-up show. The two singers who receive the fewest votes from the public normally have to perform again in the follow-up show, and then their fate is in the hands of the judges. The competitor the judges think has sung better stays in the competition, but the loser is eliminated.As the competition progresses, the performers are in the public eye far longer than two evenings a week. Their talents (or lack thereof), personalities and off-stage behaviour are also discussed endlessly by gossip magazines and tabloids, their faces frequently appearing on the front pages. Feelings run so high that campaigns for or against certain contestants are launched on social networking sites.In Britain, winning The X Factor guarantees that a singer or group will be able to make a lotof money from their music, at least in the short term. In most years, for example, a debut single by the winner, released in December, has reached the top of the singles charts by Christmas.Some people, however, think the programme has too much influence on the music-buying public, which is why in 2009 there was a successful campaign to encourage people to buy an alternative single and thereby ensure the song by The X Factor winner wouldn’t be number one at Christmas. The campaign is being repeated this year. In another kind of protest against the 2010 competition, a lot of people tried to undermine it by voting every week for the contestant with by far the worst singing voice—he was finally eliminated only in late November.Questions 71 to 75Complete the following sentences with the information given in the passage in a maximum of 10 words for each blank.71. The winners of the The X Factor competition will receive_____________.72. On average, _____________of the British population watches The X Factor on Saturdayevening.73. _____________endlessly discuss the contestants on The X Factor.74. In most years since The X Factor first appeared on British TV, _____________has quicklyreached number one in the singles charts.75. Advertising _____________in 2009 ensured that the song by The X Factor winner did notbecome number one by Christmas.Section D (10 marks)Questions 76 to 80 are based on the following passage.When your kids are advised to “get an education” if they want to earn a decent income, they are told only half of the truth. What is really meant is that they should get just enough education to provide manpower, for the society in which they live, but not so much that they become an embarrassment to that society.Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you will be occupationally dead, unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison, and you can drop out of grade school and still be successful.Get a college degree, if possible, because with a BA, you are on the launching pad. After that, though, you have to start putting on the brakes. If you go for a master’s degree, make sure it is an MBA, and only from a first-rate university.Beyond this, the famous law of diminishing returns begins to take effect.Do you know, for instance, that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Yes, the average 2007 salary for truckers was $34, 000, while a full professor only earned $33, 930.[79] A PhD is the highest degree you can get, but except in a few specialized fields such as physics and chemistry, where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, you are facing a dim future. There are far more PhDs unemployed or underemployed in this country than in any other.If you become a doctor of philosophy in English, history, anthropology, political science, languages or—worst of all—philosophy, you are probably over-educated for our national demands—not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands.[80] Thousands of PhDs are selling shoes, driving cabs, waiting on tables and filling out fruitless applications month after month. Many of them end up taking a job in some high school orbackwater college that pays much less than the janitor earns.The level of income is proportional to one’s level of education only to a degree—to the degree, that is, that makes a person useful to the gross national product, but not to a degree that nobody can run much of a profit on such a person.Questions 76 to 78Choose the best answers according to the passage.76. According to the writer, society expects the education system to produce people who_______.A. will not be a disgrace to societyB. will become loyal citizensC. do not want to receive help from societyD. will meet the nation’s manpower demands77. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Bernard Shaw didn’t finish high school, nor did Edison.B. One must think carefully before pursuing a master’s degree.C. The higher your education level, the more money you will earn.D. If you are too well-educated, you’ll make things difficult for society.78. The writer is critical of_______.A. the education systemB. today’s societyC. people with PhDsD. employersQuestions 79 to 80Translate the underlined sentences in the passage into Chinese.79. A PhD is the highest degree you can get, but except in a few specialized fields such as physicsand chemistry, where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, you are facing a dim future.80. Thousands of PhDs are selling shoes, driving cabs, waiting on tables and filling out fruitlessapplications month after month.Part Ⅴ Translation (10 marks)Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.

With children and some adults there may be a fever and the patient is obviously not feeling well. It may be possible to see white spots on the back of the throat. The neck may also swell, both of which are the normal response to infection.Sometimes a sore throat may occur with the common cold, and with influenza there may be dryness of the throat, pain on coughing and loss of voice.TREATMENTAspirin: To help relieve the pain on swallowing and (if there is one) the fever, use aspirin tablets dissolved in water, so that the patient can gargle before swallowing. Repeat the treatment every 4 hours.Drink: Encourage the patient to drink plenty of liquids.Food: Food should not be forced on a patient who does not want to eat.Steam: If there is pain in the throat on coughing, breathing in steam may help.CHILDRENY oung children, who may not be able to gargle, should be given aspirin dissolved in water every 4 hours at the right dose for their age.At one year: a single junior aspirin.At five years: half an adult aspirin.At eight years: one whole adult aspirin.WHEN TO SEE THE DOCTORIf the sore throat is still getting worse after 2 days.If the patient complains of earache.If the patient or parent is very worried.46.

There have been several wars since 1945. However, the organization has helped bring peace to some countries that were at war. It has helped people who left their countries because of wars. It has helped bring independence to colonies.The main United Nations organization is in New Y ork City, but the UN has a ―family‖ of other related organizations all over the world. These organizations try to provide a better life for everyone. One example is UNICEF, an organization that provides food, medical care, and many other services for poor children wherever they live. Another example is the World Health Organization, which develops medical programs all over the world.There are thousands of UN workers in developing countries. They work as planners to increase production in farming and industry. They provide medical services, improve education programs, and spread scientific information. They develop programs that provide jobs and better living conditions. They help countries control their population growth.The United Nations also holds large international conferences, where people meet to discuss important world issues. One conference was about the uses and ownership of oceans. Another was about women. There are also International Y ears. In these special years, people work together to improve situations and solve problems. One year was the International Y ear of the Child.For centuries countries have fought each other, and powerful countries have taken control of weaker ones. It is very difficult to persuade nations to live together in peace. Nevertheless, the United Nations is attempting to do this. It is the only organization that unites the world in the search for peace.In this section, there is one passage followed by 5 questions. Read the passage carefully, and then answer the questions in as few words as possible (not more than 10 words). Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.Questions 60-64 are based on the following passage.A language is a system of sounds, gestures, or characters used by humans to communicate their ideas and feelings. There are about 4,000 spoken languages in the world. Some are spoken by millions of people. Other languages have only a few speakers.All languages have rules for forming words and for ordering those words in sentences. In written languages, meaning is expressed through a system of characters and rules for combining those characters. In spoken languages, meaning is expressed through a system of sounds and rules for combining those sounds. Many deaf people use sign languages, in which gestures do the work of the sound system of spoken languages.Word order is more important in English than it is in some other languages, such as Russian. The sound system is very important in Chinese and in many languages spoken in West Africa.Languages are always changing, but they change very slowly. People invent new words for their language, borrow words from other languages, and change the meanings of words as needed. For example, the English word byte was invented by computer specialists in 1959. the English word tomato was borrowed from Nahuatl, and American Indian language spoken in Mexico. The English word meat once referred to food in general.There are several major language families in the world. The languages in each family are related, and scientists think they came from the same parent family. Language families come in different sizes. The Austronesian family contains at least 500 languages, including Pilipino, Malay, and Maori. The Basque language, spoken in northern Spain, is the only member of its language family.The Indo-European language family contains 55 languages, including Eng lish, German, Spanish, Russian, and Hindi.Another language family is Sino-Tibetan, which includes Chinese, Burmese, and Tibetan. The Afro-Asiatic family includes Arabic, Hebrew, and Amharic. There are about 150 American Indian languages spoken today. These languages have many differences and have been divided into more than 50 language families.People learn languages by listening, copying what they hear, and using the language. Most children learn their first languages easily, and sometimes other languages as well. Adults often must work harder at learning a second language.Questions:In this section, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary below by choosing a maximum of three words from the passage to fill in each of the spaces, 65-70. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.Questions 65-70 are based on the following passage.Welcome to “Software World” --- bringing you the very latest information on what is currently available on CD-ROM. Are you a director or producer looking for an unusual actor to play a part in a new movie project, or with that special look for a new commercial on TV? OK. The usual procedure would be to contact a theatrical agency, who would try and sell you the idea of using one of the actors listed on their books. Books? Tooold-fashioned for you? Then get yourself a copy of this latest electronic database called “The Electronic Curtain”.The brainchild of casting agent Fred Harkney of the Better Talent Agency, he says he got the idea of an actor’s directory from his son playing computer games. Noting that junior had to type in the details of the characters in his favorite game, he realized he could do the same for the actors he represents. Eventually, he came to include information on nearly three quarters of the approximately 34,000 actors registered and looking for work in Britain. With some theatrical agencies boasting that they represent over 500 performers, the need for this product is not hard to fathom. It can be a nightmare trying to remember just which actor has done what, or just what an actor can do. The database lists details of over 5,500 actors: TV shows they have appeared in, special skills they possess --- everything down to the color of their eyes and other distinguishing physical features. By entering the details of the type of person you are looking for, the database quickly locates only those persons with the particular qualities requested.One problem though, is that many actors feel it is too impersonal, and they could be missing out on much needed auditions for parts in theatrical shows. On the other hand, it might just get them that elusive job. The days of nervous nail-biting while waiting around to give an audition could well and truly be over. And all because of a small plastic disk. For product details ring this number now: 0171-379-60000.Summary:Part IV Cloze (15 minutes, 15 marks)Section A (5 marks)There are 5 blanks in the passage.

Part V Translation (15 minutes, 15 marks)Section A (8 marks) Translate the underlined sentences of the following passage into Chinese. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. After my mother passed away, my dad tried even harder to stay healthy and active. Every morning, until the weather turned too cold, he swam in the turquoise pool in the complex where he lived. (86) Each day, no matter how he felt, he swam one more lap than the previous day, just to prove there was always room for improvement. Every few days he reported the new number of laps to me, pride edging his voice.By his late seventies, in spite of swimming and working six days a week, my dad had noticeably dwindled in strength and energy. By age eighty-one he was in poor health and had to retire. (87) He pretended he didn’t need to lean heavily on me for support as we walked slowly, and I pretended not to notice. His mind was clear, but conges tive heart problems and disabling arthritis had worn him down. One day he said, “In case of an emergency, I do not wish to be kept alive by any extraordinary means. I’ve signed an official paper to this effect.” He smiled his wonderful, broad grin and said, “I’ve been blessed to have had your mother as my wife and you as my only child, and I’m ready to go.”Less than a month later he had a heart attack. In the emergency room, he again reminded his doctor and me of his wishes, but I couldn’t imagine, in spite of this latest crisis, that he wouldn’t always be saying, “Have I told you yet today that I adore you?”(88) He was miserable in intensive care; tubes seemed to come from every opening. But my dad still had his sense of humor, asking me, “Does this mean we can’t keep our lunch date tomorrow?” His voice faltered.“I’ll be here to pick you up and we’ll go someplace special,” I answered, a lump in my throat.(89) Dad refused to look at me for the first time in his life and turned toward the blank green wall next to his hospital bed. There was a painful silence between us. He said, “I don’t want you to remember me like this. Promise me you won’t, darling! And please go now --- I’m so miserable.Section B (7 marks)Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.
