Very oftenwhen we have more flowers, Denise or I would plant them between the rocks,just to add some colorto the area.

Last summer I found, in the rock garden, a tiny little plant that I could not immediatelyrecognize. I knew I didn' t plant it and Denise said she didn' t either. We decided to let it continuegrowing until we could find out what it was.

Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the strange plant, it appeared to'be a sunflower. Itlooked thin and tall with only one head on it. I decided to baby it along and weed(除草) around it.As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The sunflower hadnot started where I saw it begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.

If a tiny little sunflower didn' t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have theability to do the same thing. If we believe in ourselves like that little sunflower, we can reach wherewe aim to go and get what we need for growth.

We need to believe in ourselves knowing we have the ability to achieve our goals. Like thesunflower, it knew it had the ability to get over the rocks because it had faith in itself that it wouldsucceed. Stand tall like the sunflower and be proud of who and what we are,then other things will beginto support us. We will find a way to go under or around any "rocks" in order to realize our goals.

Most musicians agree that the best violins(小提琴) were made in Cremona, Italy, about 200years ago. They even sound better than violins made today. Violin makers and scientists try to makeinstruments(樂器)like the Italian violins,however,they are not the same. Why are these old Italianviolins so special? No one really knows. But many people think they have an answer.

Some people think it is the age of the violins. But there is a problem here. Not all old violins

sound wonderful. Only the old violins from Cremona are special. So age cannot be the answer.

Other people think the secret to those violins is the wood. It must be from certain kinds of trees.It must not be too young or too old. Perhaps the violin makers of Cremona knew something specialabout wood for violins.

But the kind of wood may not be so important. It may be more important to cut the wood in aspecial way. Wood for a violin must be cut into the right size and shape. The smallest difference willchange the sund of the violin. Musicians sometimes think that this is the secret of the Italians.

Size and shape may not be the answer either. Scientists make new violins that are exactly the same size and shape. But the new ones still do not sound as good as the old ones. Some scientiststhink the secret may be the varnish (清漆).It makes the wood look shiny, but it also helps the soundof the instrument. Since no one knows what the Italian violin makers used in their varnish, no one canmake the same varnish today.

There may never be other violins like the violins of Cremona. And there are not many of the old

violins left. So these old violins from Cremona become more and more precious.

44. What would be the best title for the text?

Advice on Public Speaking

Building confidence ( 信心)

Faith in yourself, your topic and your healthy mind is a must if you are to be a better publicspeaker. Many speakers are not prepared and lose confidence because of that. But others lack confidencebecause they are afraid of being judged--and possibly made fun of--just like they were in high schoolspeech class. Build your confidence by using all your tools and knowing that you are excellent.

Knowing what's up

You have to know your topic inside and out. Nothing kills your speech like "um" and "uh" in every

sentence. Research your subject to the point where you are an expert. And that's half the battle.

Practicing

Researching and knowing your topic is one thing, but actually delivering that information isanother. Practicing your speech in advance is a must. You will find your beats and your direction,through hours in front of the mirror practicing. So when you climb up on stage, it will be like riding ahike,unless you don't know how to ride a bike.

Dressing properly

You will want to dress properly for the occasion(場合)--which could be a suit or simply ajacket. Make sure it also has the comfort you need. If the clothes are not comfortable, you may notpay full attention to your speech.

Making connections

Make a personal connection with someone in the audience (聽眾). It might be someone youknow that you can call out to, or someone in the front row you can speak directly to. Maybe yourspeech leads you to ask them a question, which is an easy way for you to take yourself from the stageand place yourself as one of your audience. It also takes the pressure off.

47. What does "that' s half the battle" mean in the text?

A. You have already won the battle.

B. You are getting on the way to final success.

C. You need experts to guide you in public speaking.

D. You should write sentences without "um" and "uh".

【答案】B

【應試指導】詞義猜測題。half the battle意為“成功的一半”。結合文章的意思，that’S half thebattle的意思應該是“你已經踏上通往成功的路”。故選B。

48. The author compares delivering a speech to riding a bike because both of them need

A. guiding

B. practice

C. proper dressing

D. self-confidence

【答案】B

【應試指導】推理判斷題。前面講到“Practicingyour speech in advance is a must.”且根據常識可知，騎自行車也需要練習，由此可推斷，作者把作演講比作騎自行車是因為兩者都需要練習。

49. Which of the following ways is suggested in making connections with the audience?

A. Looking at someone in the distance.

B. Calling out to someone you don' t know.

C. Asking someone in the audience a question.

D. Shaking hands with someone in the front row.

【答案】C

【應試指導】事實細節(jié)題。由文章最后一段第三句中“Maybe your speech leads you to ask them aquestion”可知，C項為正確答案。

50. What is the main purpose of the text?

A. To show you how to dress properly.

B. To help you become a good speaker.

C. To teach you how to gain confidence.

D. To help you get to know the audience.

【答案】B

【應試指導】主旨大意題。由文章的標題就可以判斷出本文的寫作目的是幫助你成為一個好的演講者。
