题目内容
9．One Sunday morning in August I went to local music festival．I left it early because I had an appointment（61）later（late） that day．My friends walked me to the bus stop and waited with me（62）until the bus arrived．I got on the bus and found a seat near the back，and then I noticed a man （63）sitting （sit） at the front．He（64）was pretending（pretend） that a tiger toy was real and giving it a voice．He must be（65）mentally （mental） disabled．Behind him were other people to（66）whom he was trying to talk，but after some minutes （67）they walked away and sat near me，looking annoyed．
I didn't want to be laughed at for talking to him but I didn't like leaving him（68）on his own either．
After a while I rose from my seat and walked to the front of the bus．I sat next to the man and introduced myself．We had（69）an amazing conversation．He got off the bus before me and I felt very happy the rest of the way home．I'm glad I made a choice．It made（70）both of us feel good．
分析 本文讲述了一个感人的故事．
在做公车时，我遇到一个男人，他正在假装一个玩具老虎是一只真的，可以看出他有精神障碍，他正努力和坐在后面的人谈话，但是那些人躲开了．我不愿意和他说话以免让他人嘲笑，也不愿意留他自己在那里，过了一会儿，我起身和他坐在一起，我们进行了一次令人惊喜的谈话，我很高兴自己做出了一个正确的选择．
解答 解析：
61．later．考查单词辨析．late表示"迟到"； later 表示"以后，稍后"．later that day表示"那一天稍后的时间"．
62．until．考查连词．表示"朋友和我一起等待，知道公车到来"．
63．sitting．考查非谓语动词做宾补．notice sb doing sth 表示"注意到某人正在做某事"．本句表示"我注意到一个男人坐在前面"．
64．was pretending．考查谓语动词．根据上文可知"我注意到一个男人坐在前面"，所以本句用过去进行时态，表示我看他时，他正在假装那个玩具老虎是一只真的．
65．mentally．考查副词．修饰形容词disabled用副词 mentally，表示"精神残疾"．
66．whom．考查定语从句．主句Behind him were other people用了倒装，用 whom 代指先行词other people，to是talk to sb．表示"他正努力和后面的人谈话"．
67．they．考查代词．代指上文的other people用 they．
68．on．考查固定短语．on one's own 表示"独自地"．本句表示"我不愿意和他说话以免让他人嘲笑，也不愿意留他自己在那里"．
69．an．考查冠词． conversation是可数名词，本句表示"我们进行了一次令人惊喜的谈话"，所以用an来修饰 amazing conversation．
70．both．考查代词．这里代指作者和那个男人，是两个人，所以用both．
点评 看出语法填空．
英文的不定代词虽然汉语一样，但是表达不同．例如both和all都译为"都"，但是both表示"两者都"，all表示"三者或三者以上都"；neither表示"两者都不"，none表示"三者或三者以上都不"．

76．E
When it comes to understanding new information，the human brain needs a little time．First，we hear the words； then，we compare the new information to what we already know．If the two are different，we need to pause and think．But a breathless speaker never stops to let us think about what he or she is saying and risks confusing us．Slow it．
77．C
Sometimes we all start a sentence one way and then switch directions，which is very difficult to follow．When you confuse your listeners with opposing information，you leave the audience wondering what part of the information is right and what part they should remember．Instead of relying and keeping correcting yourself，work to get the facts clear and straight．
78．A
Jumping from point to point as it comes to your mind puts the onus （责任）on your listeners to make up for your lack of organization．And it's confusing for them to listen，reorganize，and figure out what you're saying all at once．But going smoothly from one point to the next helps them understand information more easily．You can arrange things from beginning to end，small to large，top to bottom or by some other order．Just be sure to organize．
79．F

80．D
Many speakers finish up their speeches with question-and-answer （Q & A） sessions，but some let the Q & A go on without a clear end．The audience is often left confused about whether the meeting is over and when they can get up and leave．Do your listeners a favour by setting a time limit on questions，and close your speech with a specific signal-even if it's something simple like，"If you have any more questions，you know where to reach me．"Or even more to the point，conclude your speech with"Thanks for your time．"

17．Teamwork is just as important in science as it is on the playing field or in the gym．Scientific investigations （调查） are almost always carried out by teams of people working together．Ideas are shared，experiences are designed，data are analyzed，and results are evaluated and shared with other investigators．Group work is necessary，and is usually more productive than working alone．
Several times throughout the year you may be asked to work with one or more of your classmates．Whatever the task your group is assigned，a few rules need to be followed to ensure a productive and successful experience．
What comes first is to keep an open mind，because everyone's ideas deserve consideration and each group member can make his or her own contribution．Secondly，it makes a job easier to divide the group task among all group members．Choose a role on the team that is best suited to your particular strengths．Thirdly，always work together，take turns，and encourage each other by listening，clarifying，and trusting one another．Mutual support and trust often make a great difference．
Activities like investigations are most effective when done by small groups．Here are some more suggestions for effective team performance during these activities：Make sure each group member understands and agrees to the task given to him or her，and everyone knows exactly when，why and what to do； take turns doing various tasks during similar and repeated activities； be aware of where other group members are and what they are doing so as to ensure safety； be responsible for your own learning，though it is by no means unwise to compare your observations with those of other group members．
When there is research to be done，divide the topic into several areas，and this can explore the issue in a very detailed way．You are encouraged to keep records of the sources used each person，which helps you trace back to the origin of the problems that may happen unexpectedly．A format for exchanging information （e．g．photocopies of notes，oral discussion，etc．） is also important，for a well-chosen method not only strengthens what you present but also makes yourself easily understood．When the time comes to make a decision and take a position on an issue，allow for the contributions of each member of the group．Most important of all，it is always wise to make decisions by compromise and agreement．
After you've completed a task with your team，make an evaluation of the team's effectiveness-the strengths and weaknesses，opportunities and challenges．
