You can solve the problem by activating the saliva（唾液）in you mouth. First gently bite the edges of your tongue with your teeth. Or, press your entire tongue to the bottom of your mouth and hold it there until the saliva flow. Or you can imagine that you are slicing a big juicy lemon and sucking the juice. Before you begin your talk, be kind to your voice. Avoid milk or creamy drinks which coat your throat. Keep your throat wet by drinking a little sweetened warm tea or water-down fruit juice. If you sense that you are losing your voice, stop talking completely. Save your voice for your speech. You may feel foolish using paper to write notes, but the best thing you can do is to rest your voice. If you feel the need to see a doctor, perhaps getting some advice from a professional singer can be a better choice. In the meantime, do not even talk in a low voice. What about drinking alcohol to wet your throat? I advise you not to touch alcohol before speaking. The problem with alcohol is that one drink gives you a little confidence. The second drink gives you even more confidence. Finally you will feel all-powerful and you will feel you can do everything, but in fact your brain and your mouth do not work together properly. Save the alcohol until after you finish speaking. Perhaps you want to accept the advice, but you may wonder if you can ever change the habits of a lifetime. Of course you can. Goethe, who lived before indoor skating rinks or swimming pools, said, “We learn to skate in the summer and swim in the winter.” Take this message to heart and give yourself time to develop your new habits. If you are wiling to change, you will soon be able to say that you will never forget these techniques because they’ve become a part of your body. 24. Which of the following things does the writer suggest that you should do before you began your talk? A. Drink water-down fruit juice. B. Have some drink with cream. C. Have some cool milk. D. Have high tea. 解析：根据对文章第二段中的内容的理解，可知在说话前可以先喝点甜甜的热茶或者是一些 果汁。故选 A。 答案：A 25. What does the writer suggest when you feel you are losing your voice? A. Going to see a doctor. B. Asking a professional singer for help. C. Whispering the things that you want to say. D. Keeping on talking rather than use a paper to write notes. 解析：根据文章在第三段中 perhaps getting some advice from a professional singer can be a better choice．In the meantime, do not even talk in a low voice，可知应选 B。 答案：B 26. According to the text, what will happen to your speech when you drink alcohol? A. Your face will be redder and more shining. B. Your mouth and thought will not be in line. C. You will be so confident as to carry out your speech perfectly well. D. You will get excited enough to attract people’s attention in the speech. 解析：根据第四段中的 in fact your brain and your mouth do not work together properly．Save the alcohol until after you finish speaking，可知喝酒以后一个人的言行四难以得到一致的，故 选 B。 答案：B 27. What is the purpose of the writer to use Goethe’s words? A. To encourage one to go in for sports. B. To tell that Goethe had a strong willpower. C. To prove one can change his habits. D. To remind people of the techniques to develop a lifelong habits. 解析：根据第五段中的第一句 Perhaps you want to accept the advice, but you may wonder if you can ever change the habits of a lifetime，可推断 C 选项的意思与之相符，故选 C。 答案：C C For centuries, mankind and dogs have suffered from a communication failure. We can tell dogs what we want them to do and sometimes they comply, but we’ve always struggled when it comes to understanding the true meaning of their barks and whimpers. There is exciting news now – a dog translator has been invented to help you communicate with your furry friend. Researchers at North Carolina State University have fashioned some kind of miracle dog translator body harness(束腰带). What’s special about it is that it doesn't just rely on the dog’s vocalizations to interpret what Fido is banging on about. Oh no – this miracle harness reads and interprets the ordinary dogs’ body language as well, giving us a full two-way dog communication experience. Researcher David Roberts says: "Dogs communicate primarily through body language, and one of our challenges was to develop sensors that tell us about their behavior by observing their posture remotely." Sensors on the harness monitor the dog’s heart rate and body temperature and software builds up a vocabulary, letting the human know what the dog is feeling. What would dogs say if they could talk to us? The human can even communicate back through the harness thanks to vibration motors, supposedly by tapping into the dog’s senses so that it can understand what you’re trying to say to it. The dog harness is designed for dogs involved in search and rescue and other front-line work, but it's got us dreaming of a beautiful future, one where humans and dogs can co-exist as equals, with the dog able to fully express itself at all times. 28. Why can’t people communicate with dogs? A. They have difficulty understanding dogs’ barks and whimpers. B. They have no idea about dogs’ behavior in relation to their posture. C. They don’t know how to tell dogs what they want them to do. D. They don’t have a machine to translate the dogs’ language. 解析：根据第一段中的，we’ve always struggled when it comes to understanding the true meaning of their barks and whimpers，可知 A 选项的意思与之一致，故选 A。 答案：A 29. What does the underlined word most probably mean in paragraph two? A. Pursue fashion. B. Research. C. Influence. D. Make. 解析：根据第二段中 fashioned 这个单词所在的语境，可推断研究者是发明制造了这种束腰 带，故此题应选 D。 答案：D 30. For what purpose is the dog harness designed? A. It is designed for dogs to understand what people are trying to say to them. B. It is designed for a full two-way dog communication experience. C. It is designed to monitor the dog’s heart rate and body temperature. D. It is designed for dogs doing search and rescue and other front-line work. 解析：根据七段中的 The dog harness is designed for dogs involved in search and rescue and other front-line work，可知这句话正说出了制作这种束腰带的目的，故选 D。 答案：D 31. What is the author’s attitude towards the possible human-dog communication? A. Shocked. B. Excited. C. Embarrassed. D. Annoyed. 解析：分析全文的内容，尤其是在本文最后一句的 it's got us dreaming of a beautiful future， 可推断作者对这种人狗沟通的方式是充满期待，兴奋无比的，故选 B。 答案：B D The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play a significant role in the process of recovery from illness. As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries and into public places, some of the country's most talented artists have been called in to transform older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2,500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have significant collections of contemporary art in corridors, waiting areas and treatment rooms. These recent initiatives owe a great deal to one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience. A typical hospital waiting room might have as many as 500 visitors each week. What better place to hold regular exhibitions of art? Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the out-patients waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britain's first hospital artist, Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates. The effect is striking. Now in the corridors and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colors, playful images and restful courtyards. The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view onto a garden needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at. 32. According to the passage, "to soften the hard edges of modern buildings" means________. A. to pull down hospital buildings B. to decorate hospitals with art collections C. to improve the quality of treatment in hospitals D. to make the corners of hospital buildings round 解析：根据这句话前一句 some of the country's most talented artists have been called in to transform older hospitals，讲述的是要改变老式医院的环境，可推断本句的意思与前一句的意 思接近，结合各个选项的解释，可知 B 选项的意思最接近，故选 B。 答案：B 33. According to Peter Senior, ________. A. art is not as important in people’s daily life as in hospital B. art galleries should be changed into hospitals C. patients should be encouraged to learn painting D. art should be encouraged in British hospitals 解析：根据文章第三段中的 He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience，可推断在医院中应该鼓励这种艺术的推行的。应选 D。 答案：D 34. After the improvement of the hospital environment, ________. A. patients no longer need expensive drugs in their recovery B. patients are less dependent on expensive drugs in their recovery C. patients need good-quality drugs in their recovery D. patients use fewer pain killers in their recovery than before 解析：根据第六段中的 The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness，可知 B 选项的意思与之一致，故选 B。 答案：B 35. The fact that Senior is in great demand shows that_______. A. Peter's enterprise is developing greatly B. Peter Senior enjoys great popularity C. he is a talented hospital artist D. the role of hospital environment is being recognized 解析：文章中讲述了很多地方多纷纷需要 Senior，可推断他所倡导的这个观念很受欢迎，他 的观点得到了其他人的认可，应选 D 正确。 答案：D 第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 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。 Practical ways to get motivated Be mindful of your "why". If I need to clean the floor, but I really don’t like cleaning, then I won’t feel very motivated to do it. However, if I have a big enough reason to do it — because I’m having some guests to come over, or I love the feeling of having a clean floor, then that "bigger purpose" can be strong enough to get me to act, even though I don’t enjoy cleaning. If I stay mindful of why I’m doing it, I can get motivated to do it. 36 Celebrate your successes. It’s easy to get down on yourself because you haven’t reached your goal yet. You may overlook all of the hard work and small goals that you’ve accomplished. Remember to reward yourself and to celebrate your successes. 37 In the same way, how can you motivate yourself if you’re not going to reward yourself and celebrate your successes? 38 Imagine how good you’ll feel when you’ve reached your goal. Take a moment and think about how you’ll feel and what you’ll think after you’ve achieved it. What does it feel like? 39 Focus on that feeling, and use it to drive you right now to move towards your goal. Just think of how good it will be. Get inspired. Read stories, watch movies, listen to other people who have achieved what you want to achieve. Imagine what they had to go through to get to where they are. Imagine how big the heart is of some of your biggest heroes and how badly they wanted what they achieved. 40 A. Imagine having already achieved it. B. Get help and support when you’re not feeling motivated. C. So remind yourself of why you’re doing what you’re doing. D. What kind of self-talk would you use to motivate yourself? E. Let them inspire you to access your own great desire within. F. You might feel proud, happy, satisfied, or any other emotion. G. Would you be able to properly train a dog without rewarding him? 36. 解析：根据本段的标题 Be mindful of your "why"这一关键点，并结合各个选项的内容，可知 D 选项也出现了这个关键词与之匹配。故选 C。 答案：C 37. 解析：根据本题后面一句是疑问句句式，再根据句意并结合各个选项的内容，可知只有 G 的 意思符合。 答案：G 38. 解析：本题是本段的小标题，因此必须满足这是祈使句的句式。在根据本段的内容，找出关 键词是 imagine，再结合各个选项的内容，可知 A 选项与此相符。 答案：A 39. 解析：根据本题前的一句是 What does it feel like?，可知此句应该是针对 feel（感受）进行讲 述的，应选 F。 答案：F 40. 解析：根据本段的标题 Get inspired 这一关键点，并结合各个选项的内容，可知 E 选项也出 现了 inspire 这个关键词与之匹配。可知选 E。 答案：E 第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节， 满分 45 分） 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C, D）中，选出可以填入空白处 的最佳选项。 When I opened the box at my 12th birthday party, I couldn’t believe my eyes.
