Accepting an award may seem like a simple task，but each year the Academy Awards（奥斯卡奖） proves there may be more to it than you might think．Oscar history has seen its fair share of memorable thank-you moments，good and bad．So the question remains：what makes a great acceptance speech？Here are three tips to keep in mind for your next shining moment：
1．Be thankful and simple．Make sure you thank the important people who helped you reach your goal．Don't be too arrogant or full of yourself but don't be so modest（谦逊的） that the audience（观众） thinks you are looking down upon the honor．It's only natural to be a little excited，so use this to get on well with the audience．At this year's Oscars，The King's Speech director Tom Hooper told the story of how he only came to make the movie thanks to the help of his Australian mother，who was in the audience．
He showed grace and humility（谦卑） when he mentioned her："So，with this tonight，I honor you and the key point of the story is，listen to your mother．"
2．Keep it short．Say as much as you can in as few words as possible．There's no need to thank every single person you know．As Oscar producer Bruce Cohen warned people at the annual nominees luncheon（年度提名人午宴） before this year's show，"Nothing is more dangerous than a winner reading a list of names．"Make each sentence meaningful and don't get too carried away．
3．Finally，make the best use of your moment．Don't be afraid to have a little fun and say something unforgettable Cleverness and humor will help your speech stand out in a good way and keep everyone entertained．Don't make rude and unfit jokes，especially about others．Such jokes may get everyone talking，but you may be the only one laughing in the end．
This time，Melissa Leo's use of the dirty word during her acceptance speech was the first in Oscar history．She said it before covering her mouth："I really don't mean to hurt the audience's feelings．"

7．Rabies （狂犬病） is causing problems along the East Coast of the United States．This year，the （54）number of rabies cases reported in New York，New Jersey，Florida，and Connecticut has gone up．
Rabies is a disease in （55）animals．It is caused by a germ （细菌）．When one animal bites another，the disease is （56）spread．
All mammals （哺乳动物） can get rabies，but it is （57）most often found in wild animals such as raccoons （浣熊），skunks （臭鼬） and foxes．A dog or a cat can get rabies if it is （58）bittenby a diseased animal．So （59）can people．Rabies can kill animals and people that are not treated by a （60）vet or a doctor right away．
How can you （61）tell if an animal has rabies？It （62）acts strangely．It may be mean or it may be unusually friendly and show no （63）fear of people．

6．Thinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water．To be human is to think．But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it．Thinking about drinking is the key to critical（判断性的）thinking．When you think critically，you take control of your thinking processes．Otherwise，you might be controlled by the ideas of others．Indeed，critical thinking is at the heart of education．
The word"critical"here has a special meaning．It does not mean taking one view against another view，as when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong．The nature of critical thingking is thingking beyond the easily seen-beyond the pictures on TV，the untrue reports in the newspapers，and the incorrect reasoning．
Critical thinking is an attitude（态度）as much as an activity．If you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper（希望深挖）into it，you are a critical thinker．If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas，characters，and facts，you are a critical thinker．
Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning（高阶推理）are processes of deep and careful consideration．They take time，and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in today's world：fast foods，instant coffee，and self-developing film．If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence（智力），you may learn somethingnew from a story about Albert Einstein．The first time Banesh Hoffman，a scientist，was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein．Hoffman was too nervous to speak．But Einstein immediately put Hoffman at ease by saying，"Please go slowly．I don't understand things quickly．"

34．Critical thinking is important to us because if we do not think critically，B．
A．it will be hard for us to think naturally and fast
B．we might be controlled by other people's ideas
C．we will follow the ideas of others naturally
D．we might be footed by other people's ideas
35．If you are a critical thinker，you willA．
A．think deeply about different ideas
B．trust the reports in the newspapers
C．take one view against another view
D．criticize other people for their mistakes
36．In the last paragraph，"something new"suggests thatD．
A．the smarter you are，the faster you do things
B．the faster you do things，the smarter you become
C．speed can improve intelligence
D．intelligence is not decided by speed
37．What would be the best title for the passage？B
A．Thinking and Critical Thinking．
B．Understanding Critical Thinking．
C．Thinking Is Natural and Human．
D．Thinking Fast Means Intelligence．

5．Let us begin by saying what causes our dreams．Our dreams do not come from another world．They are not messages from some outside source．They are not a look into the future，either．
All our dreams have something to do with our feelings，fears，longings，wishes，needs and memories．If a person is hungry，or tired，or cold，his dreams may include a feeling of this kind．If the covers on your body，such as a quilt or a blanket，have slipped off your bed，you may dream that you are sleeping on ice or in snow．The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experience you have today．
So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has influence on you while you are sleeping（feeling of cold，a noise，a discomfort，etc．）and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and the interests you have now．This is why children are likely to dream of fairies，older children of school examinations，hungry people of food，home-sick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom．
To show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream，here is the story of the experiment．A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbed cotton．He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him，sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hands!
There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream，what we dream and what those dreams mean．Their explanation of dreams，though a bit reasonable，is not accepted by everyone but it offers an interesting approach to the problem．They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did not come true．In other words dreaming is a way of having your wishes carried out．

31．From the passage we know that our dreamsD．
A．are imagination of our daily life
B．are man's curious look into the future
C．have nothing to do with our feelings
D．are to some degree connected with our feelings
32．In your dream when you feel like eating something it indicates（暗示）thatC．
A．you are in a state of being cold
B．you are in a state of being tired
C．you are in a state of hunger
D．you should have had your dinner that day
33．Some scientists'explanation of dreamsA．
A．is not widely accepted though a bit reasonable
B．gives an exact description of our life
C．provides us with information of dreams
D．is of no use for us．

4．One silly question I simply can't stand is"How do you feel？"．Usually the question is asked of a man in action-a man on the go，walking along the street，or busily working at his desk．So what do you expect him to say？He'll probably say，"Fine，I'm all right．"But you've put a bug in his ear一maybe now he's not sure．If you are a good friend，you may have seen something in his face，or his walk，that he did not realize that morning．It starts worrying him a little．First thing you know，he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right，while you go merrily（愉快的） on your way asking someone else"How do you feel？"．
Every question has its time and place．It's perfectly acceptable，for example，to ask"How do you feel？"if you're visiting a close friend in the hospital．But if the fellow（家伙）is walking on both legs，hurrying to take a train，or sitting at his desk working，it's no time to ask him that silly question．
When George Bernard Shaw，the famous writer of plays was in his eighties，someone asked him"How do you feel"，Shaw put him in his place．"When you reach my age"，he said，"either you feel all right or you're dead．"

28．According to the writer，greetings，such as"How do you feel？"D．
A．show one's consideration for others
B．are a good way to make friends
C．are proper to ask a man in action
D．generally make one feel uneasy
29．George Bernard Shaw's reply in the passage shows hisB．
A．cheerfulness
B．cleverness
C．ability
D．politeness
30．"You've put a bug in his ear"means that you'veD．
A．made him laugh
B．shown concern（关心）for him
C．made fun of him
D．given him some kind of warning．

3．You can not see any object unless light from that object gets into your eyes．Some of the things you see give off light of their own．The sun，the stars，a lighted lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light．Such things are luminous．Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own．They are simply reflecting（反射） light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies．The moon，for example，does not give off any light of its own．It is non-luminous．You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in our direction．So moon light is only second hand sunlight．
When you look at a book，it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it，and you see the book．If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light fro the book to reflect，then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open．
Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all．Light reaches us from the moon，which is about 380 000kilometers away，in only a little more than a second．

25．You can see the book becauseD．
A．your eyes are close to it
B．your eyesight can get to it
C．it has light of its own
D．it reflects some of the light
26．The underlined word"luminous"meansC．
A．visible（可见的）
B．all colors
C．giving off light
D．sunlight
27．Which of the following is true？D
A．All the things you can see give off light．
B．Light from the book is much shorter than that from the moon．
C．Light travels so fast that there is no time for you to read．
D．The moment you open your eyes the light from the book travels to your eyes．

2．阅读短文，根据短文内容及首字母提示，在空白处填入一个适当的单词．
Bill and Simon were good friends．One summer they were on （71）holiday．They wanted to sail around the Caribbean Sea in their boat for two weeks．
During their trip，they saw many whales．Bill and Simon were very （72）excited because they had wanted to see them very much．Unluckily，（73）when/while they were watching them，the whales began to hit the side of the boat．
Suddenly，（74）water started coming in，and they realized that they were in trouble．They （75）q_uickly jumped into the lifeboat before the sank（沉没），and watched it disappear under the sea．
Luckily，they had enough food and water for about twenty （76）days．They also had a fishing line and a machine which could change sea water （77）into
drinking water．These two things helped them to survive（存活） during their terrible experience．
For the next fifty days they caught about ten fish a day and （78）ate them．They saw about twenty ships，but although they waved and shouted when the ships were passing，（79）nobody saw them．They were becoming weaker and weaker．Then，just as they were beginning to （80）lose hope，a fishing boat saved them．

1．The manager came into the office，followed by a girl．The girl was so pretty that all the workers stopped（71）to look carefully at her．Mr．Ball introduced（72）the newcomer to his workmates．The girl asked them to help her．Then she sat down at the desk next to Richard．The young man's heart beat（73）faster．
Richard had come straight from college to the job，too．He learned a lot when he was at college．He was capable and did his work very well．The manager liked him very much．
Richard was a young man of few（74）words．He could say nothing when he sat next to the girl．He wasn't married though（75）he was nearly thirty years old．His parents were worried about him and they asked their friends to do something helpful（76）for the young man．Of course，the manager purposely put Anne's desk next to his．
Anne had little（77）experience and often asked for Richard's advice．The young man，of course，tried his best to help her．One day he helped the girl solve a problem（78）．She asked him to have dinner with her the next evening．
Mr．Ball and Richard's parents were very pleased when they heard about this．His mother told him what he should say to the girl．She made her son learn（79）the words by heart．When the dinner had finished and Anne got up to leave，Richard stood up and stopped her．With a red face，the young man said what his mother had told him．To his surprise，the girl refused（80）him．
"I have a boyfriend and we are going to marry this autumn，"said Anne．"Don't be so sad，my friend．I can still enjoy your good company．"
