At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Luckily, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will notice that. When such moments happen, don't worry about them. Just continue as if nothing has happened. ‎ Even if you do make an obvious(明显的) mistake during a speech, that doesn’t really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King’s famous speech — “I have a Dream”, you may notice that he stumbles over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don’t remember. Why? Because you were more interested in his message than in his way of speech-making. ‎ People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they think making a speech is a kind of performance rather than an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performer. They are looking for a speech that expresses the speaker’s ideas clearly and simply. Sometimes a mistake or two can, in fact, increase a speaker’s attractiveness by making him more human. ‎ As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being perfect. As soon as you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give a good speech. ‎ ‎( )56. ________ never happens during a speech. ‎ A. Making listeners understand all speakers’ plans ‎ B. Losing the place for a moment ‎ C. Changing the sentence order wrongly ‎ D. Forgetting to pause at a certain point ‎ ‎( )57. In fact, listeners always ________. ‎ A. look for a perfect speaker ‎ ‎ B. point out the speaker’s mistakes ‎ C. need clear and simple ideas of the speaker ‎ ‎ D. try to know the speaker’s plan ‎ ‎( )58. Making a speech is more like _______ according to people who care a lot about making a mistake in a speech. ‎ A. an act of communication B. a discussion ‎ C. a kind of performance D. an ice-skating competition ‎ ‎( )59. Which of the following is Not True according to the passage? ‎ A. Every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. B. In fact, listeners are not like judges in an ice-skating competition. ‎ C. In a listener’s opinion, the way of speech-making is usually more important than the message from a speech. ‎ D. Sometimes a speaker’s mistake can increase his attractiveness by making him more human. ‎ ‎( )60. The passage mainly tells us ________. ‎ A. it really matters if the speaker makes an obvious mistake during a speech ‎ B. listeners will only remember the speaker’s mistake ‎ C. people care a lot about making a mistake in a speech ‎ D. you can make a good speech though no speech is perfect ‎ ‎( D )‎ Nowadays more and more people care about the exploitation (开采) of the natural resources, such as oil. Though there’re many kinds of resources, with the fast increase of population and the appearance of many more factories, the more we use, the fewer there will be left for the future. Oil is getting less and less year after year. It’s said that oil can last for only 50 years. Natural gas perhaps will last about 38 years. ‎ Oil can be used in many ways and it’s difficult to imagine what the modern world will be like without oil. But oil isn’t easy to find and get out of the earth. Men must study the rocks. When they think the rocks in a certain place may have oil, a ‎ metal tower is built. A machine in the tower cuts a hole down into the ground. At the same time, a steel pipe (钢管) is pushed down to stop the sides from falling in and to keep out water. At last if the men are right, usually the oil rushes up the pipe with great force by the pressure of the gas in the top of the rock, and it rushes high into the air. If the oil catches a light, there will be a terrible fire. So a kind of cover is fixed on the top of the pipe, and the oil can run out through taps (活塞). ‎ If we make a well near the middle of the oil field, we can also get gas. Such gas is sent through pipes to towns far away and used in houses and factories like coal gas. ‎ Today oil is under pressure as never before. The price of oil keeps rising all the time. In many countries, the governments encourage people to save oil as much as possible. ‎ ‎( )61. The word “resource” in the passage means . ‎ ‎ A. 产物 B. 现象 C. 商品 D. 资源 ‎ ‎( )62. Which is the right order of the exploitation of oil? ‎ ‎ a. Push down a steel pipe. b. Study the rocks. ‎ c. Build a metal tower. d. Oil rushes up. ‎ ‎ A. b—c—d—a B. b—c—a—d C. b—a—c—d D. b—a—d—c ‎ ‎( )63. Which of the following can be TRUE according to the passage? ‎ A. With the exploitation, oil is getting more and more year after year. ‎ B. Coal gas can’t be used in houses and factories. ‎ C. Oil is very important in the modern world. ‎ D. Many governments encourage people to waste oil as much as possible. ‎ ‎( )64. According to the passage, the right picture to show the tendency (趋势) to the amount (数量) of oil on the earth is __________ . ‎ ‎( )65. The best title for the passage is______________. ‎ A. The Exploitation of Oil B. The Use of Oil ‎ C. The Price of Oil D. The Amount of Oil ‎ 五、写作（共三节，满分25分） ‎ 第一节 单词拼写 根据句意及所给的首字母填单词 (共5小题, 每小题1分，满分5分) ‎ ‎66. Look!
