A
Three Most Beautiful Deserts in the World
Deserts are mysterious landscapes that cover nearly one-third of Earth’s surface. These are some of the world’s most beautiful deserts that you can see while traveling.
Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia
Salar de Uyuni is the world’s largest salt desert and a truly mystical place to visit. Tens of thousands of years ago, this region was part of a prehistoric lake. However, these lakes dried up and left behind two new smaller lakes and these expansive salt flats. It’s abundant in various minerals. An estimated 10 billion tons of salt can be found in this desert.
Painted Desert, Arizona, USA
The Painted Desert of Arizona got its name from the vibrant red, orange, blue, and purple colors painted across the landscape. Less than 10 inches of rain fall here each year, and the colors were created by minerals in the clay and sandstone rock. There are lots of great trails to hike through this desert, especially at sunset when the colors are on display.
Pinnacles Desert, Australia
You’ll need to head to the Nambung National Park in Western Australia to experience the Pinnacles Desert for yourself. This desert gets its name from the beautiful spires (尖顶) made of rock that rise from the sand dunes (沙丘). The rock formations here have been weathered so much over time to undeniably stand out among the gentle yellow sand dunes.

22. Why does Pinnacles Desert get its name?
A. For its sand dunes. B. For its special shape.

Ocean pollution is a serious and growing problem worldwide. Plastic waste is a major contributor — it breaks down into very small pieces called microplastics, which can give off harmful substances into the water that then enter the food chain. Scientists also worry that microplastics might affect how ocean plants store carbon, a process important for our climate. Beyond plastic, a wide range of ocean litter poses equal threats: lost fishing nets, abandoned containers, and other waste can trap or harm sea animals, upsetting marine ecosystems.
To help solve this problem, a team in Germany has created a special underwater robot called the Smart Grapple. This independent robot can find and pick up litter from the ocean floor. It uses a smart computer system and a camera to spot waste. In dark or dirty water, it uses sound waves to generate images instead. The robot has a strong, four-fingered hand that can lift objects as heavy as 250 kilograms. Once collected, the litter is placed on a small robotic boat that carries it to land for recycling.
The robot is linked to a support boat by a cable (电缆) that gives it power. A researcher explained that this cable also functions like a crane to help lift heavy items to the surface, which is easier than the robot swimming up with them.
The Smart Grapple has been tested successfully in harbors in France and Germany, collecting many different types of litter. The researchers believe these robots will be most useful in specific, important areas like busy ports or protected natural spaces.
One of the hardest parts of building the robot was training it to tell the difference between litter and natural things like rocks or plants. The team did this by showing it over 7,500 pictures of underwater objects, with each one labeled as litter or natural. Experts hope that systems like this will be ready for wider use around 2030 to 2033, providing a helpful new tool to clean our oceans.
24. What is a harmful result of microplastics according to paragraph 1?
A. They make ocean plants grow too fast. B. They turn fishing nets into small pieces.
C. They let out harmful things into the ocean. D. They keep sea animals from moving freely.
25. What can we infer about the Smart Grapple?
A. It needs human control to spot waste. B. It can only work in protected natural spaces.
C. It relies on light reflection to work effectively. D. It can operate in varying underwater conditions.
26. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Functions of the cable. B. The way to link the robot to boats.
C. How the robot sends data to the surface. D. The harm of heavy underwater items.
27. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To warn people of risks in the ocean. B. To introduce an ocean-cleaning robot.
C. To propose solutions to cut down waste. D. To explain the cause of microplastics.

To truly understand a place, reading books or listening to travelers’ stories about it is not enough. Only by standing on its land, using its language, and experiencing it firsthand can you truly say, “I know this place.”
London, for me, became more than just a city of kings and queens or a financial center of the world — it came alive in ways I could never have imagined. London’s life doesn’t only exist in its grand palaces. You can feel it on the streets, in the underground, and in the pubs. As you walk around, different smells greet your nose, showing the city’s history, variety and energy.
What struck me the most was London’s variety? Walking down the streets felt like wandering through a vibrant (充满活力的) market — you never know what kind of face, language, or culture you will come across next. On one street, you could travel the world, tasting food from every corner of the globe. The openness and freedom there are amazing. Despite this, London also felt isolated (孤立的) at times. The busy subway tunnels, filled with bright ads, seemed disconnected. And even though people could understand me perfectly, speaking not in my mother tongue felt a bit odd and made me feel like an outsider.
I also realized that life in London isn’t easy for everyone. Everything seems to come with a price — whether it’s getting good service at a restaurant or entering a museum exhibit. It felt like access to the “good life” was something you really had to pay for.
London is a city that attracts, inspires and sometimes deceives (欺骗). But after walking its streets and experiencing it firsthand, I can finally say I’ve seen London with my own eyes and felt it with my heart.
28. Where can you feel the life of London?
A. At the airport. B. At the restaurants.
C. In the museums. D. In everyday settings.
29. How did the author feel when speaking English in London?
A. Upset and scared. B. Strange, and distant.
C. Excited and confident. D. Natural and comfortable.
30. What can be inferred about London’s “good life”?
A. It provides quality service to all. B. It is accessible to locals for free.
C. It costs much to fully experience. D. It is limited to historical landmarks.
31. What message does the text mainly express?
A. London is the best city in the world to live in.
B. London’s history is its most attractive feature.
C. Experiencing a place personally leads to real understanding.
D. Mastering foreign language ensures meaningful travel experience.
D
In tropical regions such as the Amazon and Panama, the populations of some birds have fallen by as much as 90 percent even in mostly untouched rainforests, and it seems that more intense heat extremes are the main factor behind the decline.
Between 1950 and 2020, the intensification of heat extremes led to a fall of between 25% and 38% in the population of land-dwelling (陆栖的) birds in the tropics, according to a study by Maximilian Kotz at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center and his co-workers.
The team hasn’t yet used these results to extrapolate what will happen as the planet continues to heat up, but “maybe it’s not a goodlooking picture,” says Kotz.
Kotz and his co-workers started with data on land-dwelling bird populations around the world from the Living Planet Database. They then got data on habitat destruction from the Hyde Database of the Global Environment and historical weather and climate data from the European Centre for Mediumrange Weather Forecasts. They compared all the data to find connections that might explain the fall in bird population. In the mid-latitudes (中纬度) between 21° and 43° north or south, habitat destruction was the main factor, their findings suggest. “But in the tropics, heat extremes were the biggest factor. In these regions, birds are often living near the limits of their tolerance and will die if the temperature is beyond the limits,” says Kotz.
They also investigated the extent to which the intensification in heat extremes is due to human-caused global warming. This allowed them to estimate the decline in bird population that results from climate change.
“Studies like this have long been used to assess the link between extreme weather and climate change, but,” says Kotz, “as far as I know, this study is the first to use them to look at ecological impacts in this way.” He admits that the data on bird population is far from complete, especially in tropical regions. If anything, the shortage of such data would make us judge the impacts to be less severe than they actually are.
32. What does the underlined word “extrapolate” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Choose. B. Forecast. C. Stimulate. D. Witness
33. What mainly leads to the decline in bird population in mid-latitudes?
A. Intense heat. B. Habitat loss. C. Lack of food sources. D. Human-caused pollution.
34. What can we infer from Kotz’s statement in the last paragraph?
A. The effects are underrated due to data gaps. B. Tropical bird decline was less than recorded.
C. The study is the first to focus on extreme weather. D. Climate change has limited impacts on tropical birds.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Birds Disappear with Rainforest Loss B. Scientists Use Databases in Wildlife Tracking
C. Habitat Destruction Threatens Birds Severely D. Extreme Heat Is Driving Decline in Tropical Birds

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Does the thought of public speaking make you nervous? Would you rather get caught in a storm than give a speech? ____36____ There are two main elements that make up a good oral (口头的) report — the writing and the presentation. Follow the guidelines below, and there will be clear skies ahead.
Writing Your Material
Try to keep your sentences short and simple. To be most effective, hit your key points in the introduction, explain them in the body, and then repeat them once again in your conclusion. “Introduction” is your chance to engage your audience and really capture their interest in the subject you are presenting. ____37____ “Body” is the longest part of your report. Here you explain the facts and ideas you want to convey. Give information that supports your main idea, and expand on it with specific examples or details. “Conclusion” is the time to summarize the information and emphasize your most important points to the audience one last time.
Preparing Your Delivery
• ____38____ Confidence, enthusiasm, and energy are key to delivering an effective oral report, and they can best be achieved through tryouts. Ask family and friends to be your practice audience and give you their opinion when you’re done. The more times you practice, the more you’ll master the material.
•Present it with everything you’ve got. Be as creative as you can. Include videos, sound clips, slide presentations, charts, diagrams and photos. Visual aids help stimulate your audience’s senses and keep them interested and engaged. ____39____
•Keep your nerves under control. ____40____ That’s normal. Preparation is the key. And if you make a mistake or struggle on your words, just regroup and keep going. Nobody’s perfect, and nobody expects you to be.
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. Confidence is significant.
C. They can also help to enhance your key points.
D. Giving an oral report does not have to be a natural disaster.
E. Everyone gets a little nervous when speaking in front of a group.
F. You don’t want to convey too much information to your audience.
G. Use a funny personal experience or start with an interesting question.

【原文】W: Dear listeners, welcome to Life Tips. For today's show we have Dr. Lee, an expert on relationships. Dr. Lee, many struggle with people-pleasing habits — what's the first step to changing?
M: Self-care is key. Be aware of what you need on a moment-by-moment basis. For example, notice when you're hungry, tired or feeling anxious about others' expectations. After you can recognize these more basic needs, you can start working toward recognizing what you need and value on a bigger scale.
W: People-pleasers frequently mention they can't say "no” about other's request. It feels wrong.
M: It's essential to grasp that declining a request doesn't label you as bad or disappoint others. Avoid apologizing or making excuses. When faced with demands, take time to assess your capabilities and what you prioritize. Before agreeing to any request, evaluate requests thoughtfully.
W: So, how do people-pleasers set boundaries?
M: Begin by reflecting on your personal values and limits. With a clear understanding of these elements, you can communicate your boundaries to others.
W: Thanks, Dr. Lee. That's really valuable for our listeners.
M: My pleasure.

【答案】18. A 19. B 20. C
【解析】
【原文】W: Good morning, everyone. Today, my presentation will focus on the preparation for a college interview. After you have applied for a college you are interested in, there is a possibility that you need to prepare for an interview before the college considers you qualified. There are two ways you can practice your interviewing skills and responses. The first is by doing interview practice with others who are also applying. Interview practices, I think, are a good first step to understanding what an interview will be like. Your interview partner can tell you which responses are convincing and why. Now, let’s come to the second way. If possible, you can get an interview first with a school that matters less to you. This allows you to develop and refine your interview skills and get rid of your first interview nerves without too much at stake. I think that it is a good idea to use both approaches from time to time if you can. Then you are going to benefit from those experiences in a real interview. OK. Next, I will focus on questions during interviews, both general and specific that you are required to get ready for before an interview...

Three Most Beautiful Deserts in the World
Deserts are mysterious landscapes that cover nearly one-third of Earth’s surface. These are some of the world’s most beautiful deserts that you can see while traveling.
Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia
Salar de Uyuni is the world’s largest salt desert and a truly mystical place to visit. Tens of thousands of years ago, this region was part of a prehistoric lake. However, these lakes dried up and left behind two new smaller lakes and these expansive salt flats. It’s abundant in various minerals. An estimated 10 billion tons of salt can be found in this desert.
Painted Desert, Arizona, USA
The Painted Desert of Arizona got its name from the vibrant red, orange, blue, and purple colors painted across the landscape. Less than 10 inches of rain fall here each year, and the colors were created by minerals in the clay and sandstone rock. There are lots of great trails to hike through this desert, especially at sunset when the colors are on display.
Pinnacles Desert, Australia
You’ll need to head to the Nambung National Park in Western Australia to experience the Pinnacles Desert for yourself. This desert gets its name from the beautiful spires (尖顶) made of rock that rise from the sand dunes (沙丘). The rock formations here have been weathered so much over time to undeniably stand out among the gentle yellow sand dunes.

Ocean pollution is a serious and growing problem worldwide. Plastic waste is a major contributor — it breaks down into very small pieces called microplastics, which can give off harmful substances into the water that then enter the food chain. Scientists also worry that microplastics might affect how ocean plants store carbon, a process important for our climate. Beyond plastic, a wide range of ocean litter poses equal threats: lost fishing nets, abandoned containers, and other waste can trap or harm sea animals, upsetting marine ecosystems.
To help solve this problem, a team in Germany has created a special underwater robot called the Smart Grapple. This independent robot can find and pick up litter from the ocean floor. It uses a smart computer system and a camera to spot waste. In dark or dirty water, it uses sound waves to generate images instead. The robot has a strong, four-fingered hand that can lift objects as heavy as 250 kilograms. Once collected, the litter is placed on a small robotic boat that carries it to land for recycling.
The robot is linked to a support boat by a cable (电缆) that gives it power. A researcher explained that this cable also functions like a crane to help lift heavy items to the surface, which is easier than the robot swimming up with them.
The Smart Grapple has been tested successfully in harbors in France and Germany, collecting many different types of litter. The researchers believe these robots will be most useful in specific, important areas like busy ports or protected natural spaces.
One of the hardest parts of building the robot was training it to tell the difference between litter and natural things like rocks or plants. The team did this by showing it over 7,500 pictures of underwater objects, with each one labeled as litter or natural. Experts hope that systems like this will be ready for wider use around 2030 to 2033, providing a helpful new tool to clean our oceans.
24. What is a harmful result of microplastics according to paragraph 1?
A. They make ocean plants grow too fast. B. They turn fishing nets into small pieces.
C. They let out harmful things into the ocean. D. They keep sea animals from moving freely.
25. What can we infer about the Smart Grapple?
A. It needs human control to spot waste. B. It can only work in protected natural spaces.
C. It relies on light reflection to work effectively. D. It can operate in varying underwater conditions.
26. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Functions of the cable. B. The way to link the robot to boats.
C. How the robot sends data to the surface. D. The harm of heavy underwater items.
27. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To warn people of risks in the ocean. B. To introduce an ocean-cleaning robot.
C. To propose solutions to cut down waste. D. To explain the cause of microplastics.
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. B
【解析】

To truly understand a place, reading books or listening to travelers’ stories about it is not enough. Only by standing on its land, using its language, and experiencing it firsthand can you truly say, “I know this place.”
London, for me, became more than just a city of kings and queens or a financial center of the world — it came alive in ways I could never have imagined. London’s life doesn’t only exist in its grand palaces. You can feel it on the streets, in the underground, and in the pubs. As you walk around, different smells greet your nose, showing the city’s history, variety and energy.
What struck me the most was London’s variety? Walking down the streets felt like wandering through a vibrant (充满活力的) market — you never know what kind of face, language, or culture you will come across next. On one street, you could travel the world, tasting food from every corner of the globe. The openness and freedom there are amazing. Despite this, London also felt isolated (孤立的) at times. The busy subway tunnels, filled with bright ads, seemed disconnected. And even though people could understand me perfectly, speaking not in my mother tongue felt a bit odd and made me feel like an outsider.
I also realized that life in London isn’t easy for everyone. Everything seems to come with a price — whether it’s getting good service at a restaurant or entering a museum exhibit. It felt like access to the “good life” was something you really had to pay for.
London is a city that attracts, inspires and sometimes deceives (欺骗). But after walking its streets and experiencing it firsthand, I can finally say I’ve seen London with my own eyes and felt it with my heart.
28. Where can you feel the life of London?
A. At the airport. B. At the restaurants.
C. In the museums. D. In everyday settings.
29. How did the author feel when speaking English in London?
A. Upset and scared. B. Strange, and distant.
C. Excited and confident. D. Natural and comfortable.
30. What can be inferred about London’s “good life”?
A. It provides quality service to all. B. It is accessible to locals for free.
C. It costs much to fully experience. D. It is limited to historical landmarks.
31. What message does the text mainly express?
A. London is the best city in the world to live in.
B. London’s history is its most attractive feature.
C. Experiencing a place personally leads to real understanding.
D. Mastering foreign language ensures meaningful travel experience.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过讲述自己在伦敦的亲身经历,说明了要真正了解一个地方,需要亲自站在那片土地上,使用当地的语言,并亲身体验。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“You can feel it on the streets, in the underground, and in the pubs. (你可以在街上、地铁里和酒吧里感受到它)”可知,在伦敦的日常环境中可以感受到伦敦的生活。故选D项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“And even though people could understand me perfectly, speaking not in my mother tongue felt a bit odd and made me feel like an outsider. (尽管人们能完全理解我,但不说母语让我感觉有点奇怪,觉得自己像个局外人)”可知,作者在伦敦说英语时感觉有点奇怪,像个局外人,即感觉陌生和疏远。故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Everything seems to come with a price — whether it’s getting good service at a restaurant or entering a museum exhibit. It felt like access to the “good life” was something you really had to pay for. (似乎每件事都要付出代价 —— 无论是在餐馆得到良好的服务,还是进入博物馆的展览。感觉要想过上“美好的生活”,你真的得付出代价)”可推知,伦敦的“美好生活”需要付出很多代价才能完全体验。故选C项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段“To truly understand a place, reading books or listening to travelers’ stories about it is not enough. Only by standing on its land, using its language, and experiencing it firsthand can you truly say, “I know this place.” (要真正了解一个地方,仅仅阅读书籍或听旅行者的故事是不够的。只有站在那片土地上,使用当地的语言,并亲身体验,你才能真正地说,“我了解这个地方”)”可知,文章主要表达了作者通过亲身体验伦敦,对伦敦有了更深入的了解,从而传达了“亲身体验一个地方才能带来真正的理解”这一信息。故选C项。
D
In tropical regions such as the Amazon and Panama, the populations of some birds have fallen by as much as 90 percent even in mostly untouched rainforests, and it seems that more intense heat extremes are the main factor behind the decline.
Between 1950 and 2020, the intensification of heat extremes led to a fall of between 25% and 38% in the population of land-dwelling (陆栖的) birds in the tropics, according to a study by Maximilian Kotz at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center and his co-workers.
The team hasn’t yet used these results to extrapolate what will happen as the planet continues to heat up, but “maybe it’s not a goodlooking picture,” says Kotz.
Kotz and his co-workers started with data on land-dwelling bird populations around the world from the Living Planet Database. They then got data on habitat destruction from the Hyde Database of the Global Environment and historical weather and climate data from the European Centre for Mediumrange Weather Forecasts. They compared all the data to find connections that might explain the fall in bird population. In the mid-latitudes (中纬度) between 21° and 43° north or south, habitat destruction was the main factor, their findings suggest. “But in the tropics, heat extremes were the biggest factor. In these regions, birds are often living near the limits of their tolerance and will die if the temperature is beyond the limits,” says Kotz.
They also investigated the extent to which the intensification in heat extremes is due to human-caused global warming. This allowed them to estimate the decline in bird population that results from climate change.
“Studies like this have long been used to assess the link between extreme weather and climate change, but,” says Kotz, “as far as I know, this study is the first to use them to look at ecological impacts in this way.” He admits that the data on bird population is far from complete, especially in tropical regions. If anything, the shortage of such data would make us judge the impacts to be less severe than they actually are.
32. What does the underlined word “extrapolate” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Choose. B. Forecast. C. Stimulate. D. Witness
33. What mainly leads to the decline in bird population in mid-latitudes?
A. Intense heat. B. Habitat loss. C. Lack of food sources. D. Human-caused pollution.
34. What can we infer from Kotz’s statement in the last paragraph?
A. The effects are underrated due to data gaps. B. Tropical bird decline was less than recorded.
C. The study is the first to focus on extreme weather. D. Climate change has limited impacts on tropical birds.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Birds Disappear with Rainforest Loss B. Scientists Use Databases in Wildlife Tracking
C. Habitat Destruction Threatens Birds Severely D. Extreme Heat Is Driving Decline in Tropical Birds
【答案】32. B 33. B 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了由于极端高温天气,导致鸟类的数量的急剧减少的现象。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“The team hasn’t yet used these results to(该团队尚未将这些结果加以利用)”及后文“what will happen as the planet continues to heat up(随着地球温度持续升高,将会发生什么情况)”可知,团队尚未将这些结果加以利用来“预测”全球变暖带来的后果,forecast与划线词意思相符。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“In the mid-latitudes (中纬度) between 21° and 43° north or south, habitat destruction was the main factor, their findings suggest.(他们的研究结果表明,在北纬21°至43°或南纬21°至43°的中纬度地区,栖息地破坏是主要因素)”可知,导致中纬度地区鸟类数量减少的主要原因是栖息地减少。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“He admits that the data on bird population is far from complete, especially in tropical regions. If anything, the shortage of such data would make us judge the impacts to be less severe than they actually are.(他承认,有关鸟类数量的数据远未完善,尤其是在热带地区。相反,数据的缺失反而会使我们低估这些影响的程度,认为其严重性远低于实际情况)”可推知,由于数据缺失,这些影响被低估了。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In tropical regions such as the Amazon and Panama, the populations of some birds have fallen by as much as 90 percent even in mostly untouched rainforests, and it seems that more intense heat extremes are the main factor behind the decline.(在热带地区,如亚马逊和巴拿马,一些鸟类的数量已经减少了多达 90%。即便是在基本未受破坏的热带雨林中也是如此。而似乎更强烈的极端高温是导致这种数量下降的主要因素)”可知,本文介绍了由于极端高温天气,导致鸟类的数量的急剧减少的现象。由此可知,D选项“极端高温导致热带鸟类数量减少”适合作本文标题。故选D。

Here you explain the facts and ideas you want to convey. Give information that supports your main idea, and expand on it with specific examples or details. “Conclusion” is the time to summarize the information and emphasize your most important points to the audience one last time.
Preparing Your Delivery
• ____38____ Confidence, enthusiasm, and energy are key to delivering an effective oral report, and they can best be achieved through tryouts. Ask family and friends to be your practice audience and give you their opinion when you’re done. The more times you practice, the more you’ll master the material.
•Present it with everything you’ve got. Be as creative as you can. Include videos, sound clips, slide presentations, charts, diagrams and photos. Visual aids help stimulate your audience’s senses and keep them interested and engaged. ____39____
•Keep your nerves under control. ____40____ That’s normal. Preparation is the key. And if you make a mistake or struggle on your words, just regroup and keep going. Nobody’s perfect, and nobody expects you to be.
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. Confidence is significant.
C. They can also help to enhance your key points.
D. Giving an oral report does not have to be a natural disaster.
E. Everyone gets a little nervous when speaking in front of a group.
F. You don’t want to convey too much information to your audience.
G. Use a funny personal experience or start with an interesting question.
【答案】36. D 37. G 38. A 39. C 40. E

【37题详解】
前文““Introduction” is your chance to engage your audience and really capture their interest in the subject you are presenting.(“引言”这一环节是你吸引听众并真正抓住他们对你所介绍主题兴趣的机会)”及后文“ “Body” is the longest part of your report.(“正文”是您报告中篇幅最长的部分)”提到了“引言”和“正文”,空处与前文逻辑连接,G选项“讲述一个有趣的个人经历,或者从一个有趣的问题入手。”表示如何开始“引言”,与前文内容相呼应,符合语境。故选G。
【38题详解】
小标题“准备你的演讲”表示应提前做好准备,后文“Confidence, enthusiasm, and energy are key to delivering an effective oral report, and they can best be achieved through tryouts.(自信、热情和活力是成功进行口头报告的关键要素,而这些特质最可以通过练习来培养实现)”也提到了练习的重要性,A选项“熟能生巧。”符合逻辑。故选A。
【39题详解】
前文“Be as creative as you can. Include videos, sound clips, slide presentations, charts, diagrams and photos. Visual aids help stimulate your audience’s senses and keep them interested and engaged.(尽可能发挥你的创造力。可以加入视频、音频片段、幻灯片演示、图表、示意图以及照片。视觉辅助工具有助于刺激听众的感官,使他们保持兴趣并全神贯注)”提到如何利用“视觉辅助工具”来使观众保持专注,C选项“它们还能有助于强化你的核心观点。”中They指代前文的Visual aids,同时进一步表明这些工具对于演讲的益处。故选C。
【40题详解】
前文“Keep your nerves under control.(控制住你的紧张情绪)”说明本段主题是控制紧张情绪,后文“That’s normal.(那是正常的)”说明在演讲时紧张是正常的,E选项“每个人在众人面前讲话时都会感到有点紧张。”既符合段落主题,又能与后文形成自然衔接,符合前后文语境。故选E。
