You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression — this was the theme of this year’s International Public Speaking Competition (IPSC). Thirty-three young speakers aged 16 to 20 from around the world gathered at The English Speaking Union to tell their stories, including Wu Dongxu, 19, a student from China. Wu Dongxu saw the differences and similarities between Chinese and foreign cultures through the competition.
Apart from the obvious differences in food, transportation and climate, what impressed Wu most was the different styles of Chinese and foreign public speaking.
Although still a teen, Wu is no stranger to the public speaking podium (讲台). He has participated in many speaking competitions since 2017. But on the stage of the IPSC, speakers had no po dium to stand behind. They just had to face the audience.
“This was the first time that I gave a speech without a podium, which made me realize how important eye contact and body language are, ” said Wu. “It also gave me more freedom to show more information with my body language instead of just with words. ”
Another difference that caught Wu's attention was the evaluation criteria (评价标准). To his surprise, in the IPSC, accents and grammatical mistakes are not considered in the evaluation process. It is the story itself that matters most instead of pronunciation, fluency and quality of language.
“Audiences are eager to hear powerful stories, no matter where they are from. That's because the emotions expressed in them are shared by all human beings although there are the cultural differences. ” said Wu. “Diversity (多样性), respect, tolerance and understanding — these are what the IPSC really wants to stress and spread. ”
4. How many students gathered at The English Speaking Union this year according to the passage?
A. 16. B. 19. C. 20. D. 33.
5. What left Wu Dongxu the deepest impression?
A. The food culture. B. The public speaking styles.
C. The climate. D. The transportation means.
6. What can we learn about the IPSC?
A. Speakers are allowed to use podiums. B. Only adults can take part in the IPSC.
C. Body language plays an important part. D. Language quality is considered the most important.
7. What is Wu Dongxu’s attitude towards the IPSC?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Opposed.
C
It is often said that you can’t have too many friends. But it seems that there is a natural limit to the number of people we stay in touch with. A study found that when we make new friends, by starting a new job or going to university, we downgrade or even drop old ones. And while the friends may change, the number stays almost the same.
Oxford University researcher Felix Reed-Tsochas asked 24 students in the final months of school to list all their friends and relatives and say how close to them they were. The students filled in the questionnaire (问卷)twice more after starting work or going to university. They were also given free mobile phones and agreed that researchers could use their bills to work out who they called, when and for how long.
Putting the two pieces of information together showed, unsurprisingly, that most people have a small circle of close friends, who they spend most of their time talking to. This inner circle is surrounded by group after group of ever more distant friends. As the volunteers’ lives changed, this overall pattern, including the number of best friends, remained almost the same, meaning that some close friends from childhood were dropped or downgraded as new friendships were built. Dr Reed-Tsochas said, “Maybe my best friend is no longer the same person but the amount of time I allocate(分配)to my best friend is still the same.” He added that this finding suggests that even with the coming of modern technology we are only capable of forming a limited number of true friendships.
Chester University researcher Dr Sam Roberts said, “Our results are likely to reflect limitations in the ability of humans to keep emotionally close relationships both because of limited time and because the emotional capital(情绪资本)that individuals can allocate between family members and friends is limited.”
8. Which is a method Dr Reed-Tsochas used in his study?
A. Checking the volunteers’ call records. B. Learning about the volunteers’ hobbies.
C. Tracking the volunteers’ job performance. D. Interviewing the volunteers’ schoolmates.
9. What did the researchers find from the study?
A. One’s attitude to friendships remains the same.
B. People attach great importance to friendships.
C. People rarely drop their old friends to make new ones.
D. The number of one’s best friends doesn’t change much.
10. What is the function of the last paragraph?
A. To add background information. B. To give a possible explanation.
C. To offer some suggestions. D. To introduce a new topic.
11. Where can you read the passage?
A. In a travel magazine. B. In a math textbook.
C. In a personal diary. D. In a newspaper.
D
If you want to become a fluent English speaker, you should take some advice: there are four skills in learning English. They are listening, speaking, reading and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master the skills of reading and listening.
Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentences, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc.
There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you encounter, but the fact you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.
As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.
For listening, you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening, you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes. If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.
12. According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?
A. Reading and listening. B. Reading and writing.
C. Writing and speaking. D. Speaking and listening.
13. To improve your reading, when you read, you should ________.
A. look up all the new words in the dictionary
B. think about what you are reading actively
C. spend more time studying grammar
D. copy as many words and sentences as possible
14. What does the underlined word “encounter” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Meet by accident. B. Wind up.
C. Lose on purpose. D. Look for.
15. Which of the following may the author agree with?
A. Everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day.
B. You needn’t practice listening if you keep in reading every day.
C. Being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening.
D. You should take notes of whatever you are hearing.

My New Brother
I was in my room, feeling unwilling to head to the community theatre with my brother Henry. He had recently been adopted by my parents and I was not in the mood for being on stage with him.
“Kirstie, come here,” my mom called. Following her voice, I found her outside the bathroom, holding a wet book. She gave the book a shake. “Henry’s book was in the bathtub. Did you put it there?” She glared at me, something she had never done before Henry came to our home. I hadn’t wet his book on purpose. Rain drops fell from my eyes. To make matters worse, she promised to buy him a new copy. My heart ached. Henry was stealing my mother’s love. He was ruining any life.
Meanwhile, Henry was nearby, absorbed in working on a complicated rope knot (绳结). something he liked to do. Why did a boy like him like doing girl work? It seemed far from manly (男子汉气概).
Soon, it was time to set off to the community theatre. As Henry walked ahead of us to the car, my mom took me aside and said in a low voice, “It will be Henry’s first time on stage. Be kind to him, honey.” I nodded but sighed (叹气). I hadn’t always found it this difficult to be kind. But since Henry had moved in, everything felt different. The theatre used to be a special place for my parents and me. With Henry involved, it didn’t seem so special any more.
Finally, it was our stage time. My heart beat wildly. I forgot my annoyance at Henry for a while. As we kids lined up, ready to act out our short play, I realized how loosely I had tick the draw string on my skirt. However, my hands acre full. If only someone could help me out.
注意: (1) 续写词数应为150左右; (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Right then, Henry sensed my embarrassment.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the performance, I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully.

You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression — this was the theme of this year’s International Public Speaking Competition (IPSC). Thirty-three young speakers aged 16 to 20 from around the world gathered at The English Speaking Union to tell their stories, including Wu Dongxu, 19, a student from China. Wu Dongxu saw the differences and similarities between Chinese and foreign cultures through the competition.
Apart from the obvious differences in food, transportation and climate, what impressed Wu most was the different styles of Chinese and foreign public speaking.
Although still a teen, Wu is no stranger to the public speaking podium (讲台). He has participated in many speaking competitions since 2017. But on the stage of the IPSC, speakers had no po dium to stand behind. They just had to face the audience.
“This was the first time that I gave a speech without a podium, which made me realize how important eye contact and body language are, ” said Wu. “It also gave me more freedom to show more information with my body language instead of just with words. ”
Another difference that caught Wu's attention was the evaluation criteria (评价标准). To his surprise, in the IPSC, accents and grammatical mistakes are not considered in the evaluation process. It is the story itself that matters most instead of pronunciation, fluency and quality of language.
“Audiences are eager to hear powerful stories, no matter where they are from. That's because the emotions expressed in them are shared by all human beings although there are the cultural differences. ” said Wu. “Diversity (多样性), respect, tolerance and understanding — these are what the IPSC really wants to stress and spread. ”
4. How many students gathered at The English Speaking Union this year according to the passage?
A. 16. B. 19. C. 20. D. 33.
5. What left Wu Dongxu the deepest impression?
A. The food culture. B. The public speaking styles.
C. The climate. D. The transportation means.
6. What can we learn about the IPSC?
A. Speakers are allowed to use podiums. B. Only adults can take part in the IPSC.
C. Body language plays an important part. D. Language quality is considered the most important.
7. What is Wu Dongxu’s attitude towards the IPSC?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Opposed.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A

It is often said that you can’t have too many friends. But it seems that there is a natural limit to the number of people we stay in touch with. A study found that when we make new friends, by starting a new job or going to university, we downgrade or even drop old ones. And while the friends may change, the number stays almost the same.
Oxford University researcher Felix Reed-Tsochas asked 24 students in the final months of school to list all their friends and relatives and say how close to them they were. The students filled in the questionnaire (问卷)twice more after starting work or going to university. They were also given free mobile phones and agreed that researchers could use their bills to work out who they called, when and for how long.
Putting the two pieces of information together showed, unsurprisingly, that most people have a small circle of close friends, who they spend most of their time talking to. This inner circle is surrounded by group after group of ever more distant friends. As the volunteers’ lives changed, this overall pattern, including the number of best friends, remained almost the same, meaning that some close friends from childhood were dropped or downgraded as new friendships were built. Dr Reed-Tsochas said, “Maybe my best friend is no longer the same person but the amount of time I allocate(分配)to my best friend is still the same.” He added that this finding suggests that even with the coming of modern technology we are only capable of forming a limited number of true friendships.
Chester University researcher Dr Sam Roberts said, “Our results are likely to reflect limitations in the ability of humans to keep emotionally close relationships both because of limited time and because the emotional capital(情绪资本)that individuals can allocate between family members and friends is limited.”
8. Which is a method Dr Reed-Tsochas used in his study?
A. Checking the volunteers’ call records. B. Learning about the volunteers’ hobbies.
C. Tracking the volunteers’ job performance. D. Interviewing the volunteers’ schoolmates.
9. What did the researchers find from the study?
A. One’s attitude to friendships remains the same.
B. People attach great importance to friendships.
C. People rarely drop their old friends to make new ones.
D. The number of one’s best friends doesn’t change much.
10. What is the function of the last paragraph?
A. To add background information. B. To give a possible explanation.
C. To offer some suggestions. D. To introduce a new topic.
11. Where can you read the passage?
A. In a travel magazine. B. In a math textbook.
C. In a personal diary. D. In a newspaper.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They were also given free mobile phones and agreed that researchers could use their bills to work out who they called, when and for how long.(他们还获得了免费的手机,并同意研究人员可以使用他们的账单来确定他们给谁打了电话,什么时候打的,以及打了多久)”可知,检查志愿者的通话记录是Dr Reed-Tsochas在他的研究中使用的方法。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“As the volunteers’ lives changed, this overall pattern, including the number of best friends, remained almost the same, meaning that some close friends from childhood were dropped or downgraded as new friendships were built.(随着志愿者们生活的变化,这种总体模式,包括最好的朋友的数量,几乎保持不变,这意味着在建立新友谊的同时,一些儿时的亲密朋友被放弃或降级了)”可知,一个人最好的朋友的数量没有太大变化是研究人员从研究中发现的内容。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Chester University researcher Dr Sam Roberts said, “Our results are likely to reflect limitations in the ability of humans to keep emotionally close relationships both because of limited time and because the emotional capital (情绪资本) that individuals can allocate between family members and friends is limited. ”(切斯特大学的研究者Sam Roberts博士说:“我们的结果可能反映了人类在保持情感亲密关系方面的能力有限,这既是因为时间有限,也是因为个人能在家庭成员和朋友之间分配的情绪资本有限。”)”可知,该段通过引用另一位研究者的观点,对文章前面提到的研究结果进行了解释,说明了为什么人们的好朋友数量会保持稳定。由此可知,最后一段的功能是给出一个可能的解释。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章主要探讨了人类社交关系中的朋友数量限制问题,这是一个科学研究的话题,通常会在报纸上报道或讨论。因此,D选项(在报纸上)是你可以阅读这篇文章的合适地方。故选D。

If you want to become a fluent English speaker, you should take some advice: there are four skills in learning English. They are listening, speaking, reading and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master the skills of reading and listening.
Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentences, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc.
There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you encounter, but the fact you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.
As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.
For listening, you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening, you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes. If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.
12. According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?
A. Reading and listening. B. Reading and writing.
C. Writing and speaking. D. Speaking and listening.
13. To improve your reading, when you read, you should ________.
A. look up all the new words in the dictionary
B. think about what you are reading actively
C. spend more time studying grammar
D. copy as many words and sentences as possible
14 What does the underlined word “encounter” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Meet by accident. B. Wind up.
C. Lose on purpose. D. Look for.
15. Which of the following may the author agree with?
A. Everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day.
B. You needn’t practice listening if you keep in reading every day.
C. Being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening.
D. You should take notes of whatever you are hearing.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. C

My New Brother
I was in my room, feeling unwilling to head to the community theatre with my brother Henry. He had recently been adopted by my parents and I was not in the mood for being on stage with him.
“Kirstie, come here,” my mom called. Following her voice, I found her outside the bathroom, holding a wet book. She gave the book a shake. “Henry’s book was in the bathtub. Did you put it there?” She glared at me, something she had never done before Henry came to our home. I hadn’t wet his book on purpose. Rain drops fell from my eyes. To make matters worse, she promised to buy him a new copy. My heart ached. Henry was stealing my mother’s love. He was ruining any life.
Meanwhile, Henry was nearby, absorbed in working on a complicated rope knot (绳结). something he liked to do. Why did a boy like him like doing girl work? It seemed far from manly (男子汉气概).
Soon, it was time to set off to the community theatre. As Henry walked ahead of us to the car, my mom took me aside and said in a low voice, “It will be Henry’s first time on stage. Be kind to him, honey.” I nodded but sighed (叹气). I hadn’t always found it this difficult to be kind. But since Henry had moved in, everything felt different. The theatre used to be a special place for my parents and me. With Henry involved, it didn’t seem so special any more.
Finally, it was our stage time. My heart beat wildly. I forgot my annoyance at Henry for a while. As we kids lined up, ready to act out our short play, I realized how loosely I had tick the draw string on my skirt. However, my hands acre full. If only someone could help me out.
注意: (1) 续写词数应为150左右; (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Right then, Henry sensed my embarrassment.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the performance, I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Right then, Henry sensed my embarrassment. He immediately came to my aid. He pulled up my skirt and skillfully tied the drawstring with a beautiful knot. Seeing what Henry did for me, something deep in my mind began to change. It seemed as if my cold heart began to melt slowly and my annoyance at him gradually gave way to guilt. I regretted having treated him as a stranger. While my mind was wandering, our performance time came. It turned out a great success, thunderous applause filling the whole theatre.
After the performance, I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully. “Thanks,” I said with a grateful smile on my face. I had to admit that but for his timely help, I would have been extremely embarrassed. Without his knotting skill, the performance would have been quite different. “KNOT a problem. You are my sister,” he grinned innocently, saying humorously. Surrounded by the cheerful atmosphere, I felt a flood of warmth of a big family. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to have a new person in my corner of the world after all.
